The Love Between Two Countries

Mutual Belief

Bernard did not have much time to relax or enjoy the nature of Indonesia. After meeting with Azharin and proposing to Azharin by simply pinning a diamond ring on Azharin's finger, only to be witnessed by Armian and Sonia, Bernard returned to his country.

Before Bernard's return, Azharin had already announced that he would marry in Bernard's country. The reason Azharin in addition to wanting to build a new life in a new place and a place full of good memories, he also did not want his heart to be sad because there was no mother. Far away in the country of logic people can say his mother can not attend because of something.

Azharin returned to the office to go through the usual routine. Although Azharin's finger had been circled in a beautiful ring, it did not mean that Azharin was fully bound. Azharin could still enjoy her days. Bernard increasingly believed in Azharin seeing Azharin's attitude and manner several days had always been together.

Bernard was no longer as jealous as his initial acquaintance. He began to understand Azharin. Especially since Armian told me how Azharin lived. Azharin had also told how his relationship with Hendri ran aground before meeting Bernard.

The days in which Bernard greeted only once a day remain inevitable. For Azharin there was no problem, at least he did not disappear for days like he used to. Azharin also understood Bernard's busyness. They had agreed to trust each other while Azharin began to take care of the files as a condition of marriage.

Alex has learned Azharin is getting married to Bernard. Alex promises to be there if Azharin needs his help. Alex had previously expressed love for Azharin a month after Bernard returned. Azharin showed me the ring on her ring finger.

Alex had said he was heartbroken, but they kept joking after that. Alex is very good at turning the mood back like nothing happened. Azharin and Alex agreed to be best friends. Moreover, Bernard and Alex have established cooperation in business.

Azharin had asked Armian to marry Sonia. At first Armian remained adamant about not being willing until Azharin got married. Azharin gave an understanding to Armian. Armian finally collapsed and now Sonia hugged Azharin happily. He loved Azharin more and more as his own sister.

A month after the preparations, Sonia was now legally Armian's wife. Sonia below lives in the house of Armian and Azharin. Sonia did not bother. He is also happy to be close to Azharin. Now any activity Azharin often accompanied Sonia. Shop the kitchen, to the mall, even to the office. They are often mocked by Romi and Sahara. They only reply with jokes.

Not feeling six months have passed, Sonia is now 2 months pregnant. Azharin is very happy, she will have a nephew. For the first three months, Sonia could not smell the cooking let alone the smell of fried onions. Azharin replaced the cook that Sonia had almost taken over since they were married.

"How do you handle your marriage terms?" sonia asked as they had lunch together at home. Today is their day off, but not with Armian. Armian is in service.

"So far I'm grateful that everything went well. It's just, Bernard had a little trouble because of business affairs and distance. But I do understand. I just walk around quietly. With him steps are more certain. If there's a little obstacle I can understand."

Sonia understood Azharin's intentions. In the past, many years with Hendri, Azharin never can be sure when will be able to hold a marriage. Now with Bernard, that goal has come closer, only to undergo small gravels due to time and distance. Azharin can live his day quietly until that time comes.

"I feel lonely without you later" said Sonia a little compassionate. It could be because of her pregnancy hormones or because of these last few months they are very close.

"me too. How else, I don't know if it's really stuck in that bule guy."

"Have no thought, I got carried away because we've been together so many times since I married your brother."

"Yes. I'm sure it will be hard for me at first. Moreover, I may not be able to see you giving birth. This is the life we have to live."

"You're right. Whatever it is, we have to be strong and passionate." Sonia said with a big smile.

"At least, when I give birth, you can visit me with my nephew" Azharin said, imagining. He smiled little imagining his stomach was no other soul.

"Basic selfish girl." Sonia threw a handbag right in Azharin's face that was full of daydreams. Azharin was startled and finally laughed looking at her sharp glaring in-laws face seeing Azharin smiling to herself.

"Don't tell me you're fantasizing weird about Bernard's organs?" ask Sonia silly. Making Azharin laugh.

"You don't be weird, brother-in-law. I'm imagining I'm pregnant just like you."

"Save your filthy thoughts brother-in-law. Keep your mouth shut so my niece doesn't get bawdy." Azharin and Sonia laughed.

"I feel bored this afternoon, how about we go to the mall," Azharin asked.

"Can. I'll tell your brother first."

"Duh a good and talented wife to the husband," said Azharin while packing dirty dishes. He forbids Sonia from helping.

"Being talented." Sonia protested before moving to her room.

Azharin just chopped and nimbly tidied the dining table and washed the dishes. After that he headed towards Sonia's room and knocked on the door before entering.

"Can?" ask Azharin

"May with a myriad of messages." Sonia grinning pony.

Azharin was no wonder, she was well aware of how protective Armian was. Azharin used to feel that way too. All has diminished since Azharin had his brother argue a few years ago and ended up with the expulsion from Azharin.

"Ok, I'm ready too. I want to buy some new clothes and underwear to take there."

Elsewhere ....

"Ma, how long will you hide from Azharin?" ask Armian.

"Until mom dies. Let him assume that mom is gone." Azharin's mother looks weak in a hospital bed.

Armian secretly often goes back and forth and sometimes even picks up the mother, he continued secretly. Armian accidentally found his mother a year ago. Armian did not seek the whereabouts of the woman after working in the police service.

At that time, Armian will interrogate a witness who was in a large hospital in his city. Armian saw his mother in the queue chair. Armian then asked his partner to replace him. He focused on his mother.

Armian waited as the woman was called by the nurse to enter the doctor's room. That room is a doctor's room with an internal medicine specialist. Armian saw the woman redeeming the medicine. Her tears melted as the woman who once looked so healthy, fit and cheerful in front of her children, now looked fragile and weak.

Armian continued to follow the woman. When the woman stopped the taxi, Armian was waiting in his car. Slowly he followed the taxi and found out where his mother lived. His heart was sliced his mother lived in a small house.

Armian did not meet his mother. He spied on his mother for a few days. Armian also gets info, his mother often gets domestic violence by her new husband. It turns out that her mother had remarried two years ago to another man, not the man who took her out of the house decades ago.

On the fifth day of Armian spying on his mother, the mother screams for mercy. Again the man hit his mother like the info he got and he saw for himself the first day he knew her whereabouts. Armian approached with two of his comrades. Armian had been planning to remove the man and move his mother.
