The Enemy Brings My Destiny

Eps. 46

"So, you're rejecting me ?." Ask Akhtar to make sure.

" It seems so. I'm sorry, maybe you can find another nice girl out there. I will also go to look for my past left behind in a city far from Jogja. "

" What are you looking for ?."

"My fate is the same as the girl you tricked, although different versions only. But I'm not as strong as that girl who loved her daughter as a good mother. Instead, I threw away my own child with no mercy at all. " Obviously Zahra made Akhtar even more curious.

"So, you ?."

"Yes, I'm not a pure girl. You've been wrong all this time, I've had children outside of marriage. "

"With your boyfriend?."

"No, I've never even been close to a man other than Abi and Abah, let alone done anything dirty. I was the victim of the abuse of someone irresponsible when I was kind enough to help her when she collapsed on the sidewalk. I'm gonna go pick up my daughter, and hopefully I can find her when I look for her." Zahra's tears were already dripping nonstop, creating a puddle that was caving its way down her cheeks.

"Astaghfirullah's... I hope you can find him. " Akhtar said sincerely.

"Aamiin..." Zahra wiped away her tears as she saw that two of Akhtar's children were approaching.

"Daddy. " Call Alchira to Akhtar

"Mommy." Call Ezar to Zahra who still thinks Zahra is his mommy.

Akhtar lifted the tiny body of Alchira on his lap, as did Zahra who did the same to Ezar. Coinciding with that, Zuhdi and Hizqi came.

"Chira. " Call Hizqi to her husband's nephew.

"Mothers. " Hizqi took over Alchira from Akhtar's lap.

"Ear afternoon. We'll take Alchira home. " Say Zuhdi who is already on a friendly face.

It seems that when left alone with his wife, Zuhdi slightly get enlightenment from the wife.

"Yes." Yeah." Akhtar answered who was confused to answer what else.

Hizqi looked at the face of the woman who was holding Ezar and then slightly forced her stiff smile. "Assynoltom..." He told the woman who looked shar'i.

Zahra smiled back in a friendly smile. " Greetings waalaikum." The answer.

The couple went and took Alchira with them.

Akhtar turned around and invited Zahra to come home because time was already approaching the Maghreb.

The two stepped in tandem with Akhtar who carried Ezar's body, like a husband and wife happy because he had just delivered his son to play in the playground.

Because Zahra had come by taxi so now Akhtar will take her to join his car and drive her home.

A few moments later...

Zahra was about to get out of the car but Ezar pulled his sleeve. Zahra looked at the handsome face of the little boy.

"Mommy..." Call Ezar with his plain face that looks moody.

Zahra glanced at Akhtar, hoping that Akhtar would give Ezar some understanding.

" Ezar. Release hand. Mommy wants there first, then Ezar meet again with mommy if mommy is done. " Say Akhtar understood.

"No, Daddy... Ezar wants to play with mommy. " Rengek Ezar still did not want to let go of his pull.

Zahra let out her breath slowly and squatted down before Ezar, landing a kiss unfortunately on Ezar's forehead and cheeks.

"Ezar babe isn't the same mommy ?." Ask Zahra.

Ezar nodded. "Dear, mommy. " the answer.

"Ezar love Daddy ?."

"Honey. "

"If Ezar loves the same mommy as Daddy, it means Ezar must obey. Later if Ezar receded, later his mommy came home again with Ezar.  Ezar wants his mommy home ?."

"Now. "

"Yes, mommy's coming home. Ezar said to Daddy tell him to pick up mommy. Okay ?!." Zahra shows the hand with the tip of the index finger and the tip of the thumb tacked on.

Ezar's face brightened again and did the same as Zahra's with her tiny fingers. "okay !." Pleased speech.

Zahra rubbed dear Ezar's head. " Smart son of mommy. " Say Zahra made Ezar sumringah even more.

Zahra glanced at Akhtar. " Ezar needs his mommy. Pick him up, I'm sure he's waiting for you. " Said Zahra earnestly with his words.

Being a descendant of someone who has qualified knowledge, it is not difficult for Zahra to look far out there to see a figure so loved by Akhtar.

"You sure?." Ask Akhtar. He knew that Zahra had that privilege, but he still had doubts about what Zahra said because he knew that Azrinna hated him so much.

"Daddy. " The call from Ezar made Akhtar stop his reverie. Akhtar turned to his son. "Daddy, when do you pick up the mommy ?." Ask Ezar.

"Yes, soon we'll pick up mommy, baby. " Akhtar answered confidently and gently rubbed Ezar's head and began to run his car leaving the yard of Kyai Anwar's house.

Azrinna tried to busy herself with new activities that she never once did, both in Jogja and in Jakarta. He did this only because he wanted to escape from the shadow of Akhtar who had disturbed his mind and soul. Especially after hearing the narration of Hizqi who said that Ezar already has a new mommy.

If Akhtar is in Jogja, then his escape to this city is over. He will return to Jakarta and continue his new life there. His brother has also settled in Jakarta because he joined his wife who is a descendant of Jogja people. So, if he returns to Jakarta, his daughter's eyes can still be taken care of by Zuhdi.

After the flower plant was finished planting all, Azrinna immediately washed her hands on a tap in the corner of the park, then went into the house looking for princess eyes and asked permission to return to the capital.

It turned out that the princess was very kind by agreeing to his wishes.

"Still, eyang. Azri will always miss you." Azrinna said as she hugged the old body.

"Yes... Grandson's time to be happy." The princess's eyed speech made Azrinna reflex to release her embrace and stare fixedly at the shady face.

"Eyang, "Azrinna wanted to say something but he hesitated to say it.

"You'll meet your happiness there. Go home and pick up your future, nduk. " The princess's eyes again made Azrinna even more confused.

"What does it mean to be ?."

The hand of the princess's eyes gently stroked Azrinna's cheeks. "That doesn't have to say it, you'll know for yourself when you're there. "

"Alright, eyang. So, let Azri come home when ?."

" Tomorrow, Eyang will have one of the house employees buy me his train ticket. "

"Still eyeang. Azri is very affectionate with princess. " Azrinna again hit the body of his eyes.

"Eyang was also affectionate towards this beautiful granddaughter. "

The words of the princess invited the crisp nagging Azrinna.

"Then, there, sort out the items he will carry, so that no one is left in check from now on. " The princess reminded.

"Yes, eyang. Azri to the room first ya eyang. " Azrinna came out of the princess's room.

Azrinna's face emitted a light of happiness after coming out from the princess's room. But as he walked to his own room, his ears heard a quarrel in Zuhdi's room. He knew the voices of the two men who were fighting.

Azrinna tried not to interfere, but when she heard the voice of her best friend crying she did not have the heart. By force, Azrinna finally knocked on her brother's room door and before long the door opened and displayed her brother's figure with a gloomy face like many thoughts.

" Sister."

" In, deck. " Zuhdi slightly stepped aside to give way to Azrinna.

Azrinna stepped closer to her sister-in-law who was sobbing on the edge of the bed and hugged the body shaking from the side. Azrinna glanced at the door that creaked shut and found her brother there. Where did his brother go?.

"Mr..." Call Azrinna slowly.

"Zri, Zuhdi's mad... He's mad at me..." Hizqi said softly on the sidelines of her cries. "What should I do, Zri ?... I'm confused..." Further again.

"Sir, what exactly happened?. Azri did not know, so Azri was also confused to give a solution how. "

Hizqi let go of her embrace and looked at Azrinna's face which was also staring at her face. "I want to have children, We have been married for almost a year, but God has not given that trust..."

"Then, Brother Zuhdi was angry because of what ?.''

"He asked me to be patient and to strive for God to entrust us to be parents. But I have done it all, and God has not left it in my womb..." Hizqi finally.

Azrinna took a long breath. He knows enough if the religious understanding of his sister-in-law is not too deep and often even feels desperate because it feels the test given by God is heavy for him, when in fact, he is, Allah will not give his servant a test beyond his own capacity.

"Sir, do you know the story of Abraham and Siti Sarah, his first wife ?." Tanya Azrinna later.

Hizqi fell silent for a moment then nodded.

"Don't know how long he waited when he wanted the baby present ?." Ask Azrinna again.

This time Hizqi shook his head.
