The Love Between Two Countries

Whatwould?

Laurren still did not get out of bed. He looked at Alex with a pus. Alex was so far changed in his memory.

"I don't want to! Laurren was hysterically screaming. Alex didn't look at Laurren next to the eye.

"Follow me. You'll regret refuting me!" Alex said in a threatening tone.

"Who are you referring to? I don't feel like bothering anyone." Laurren's tone began to sound weak and desperate. He doesn't fully understand what's going on.

Alex doesn't like to lengthen the conversation. Roughly he threw the clothes of Laurren and said, "Wear it!"

Laurren had no other choice, "Let me wet my body."

"soon. You only have ten minutes."

Alex has set everything as neat as possible. Laurren did not get any answers. Now he's on a plane. After going through a flight of eleven hours, he had been in the car with Alex and some people he did not know.

Laurren doesn't understand Alex's language at all. He was silent in fear and anxiety. He doesn't have a cell phone to ask anyone for help. Alex has confiscated his phone while at the hotel. Alex didn't talk to her again.

"What is this place?" laurren asked withstanding her tears. He begins to realize where Alex is taking him.

Laurren grabbed Alex's arm. "What wrong! What mistake did I make! You have to give me!" Laurren is crazy in an empty room. The room looks neat. Although not so big, it can only be for one bed and one small closet.

"Based on your bastard!" laurren said as Alex pushed him into the bed. Laurren fell flat. Alex chases and holds onto Laurren's two hands.

"You want some money? Here you can get what you need. Your money and biological needs!"

"I don't want to. Give me cellphone. I want to call my girlfriend!"

"Love? You said you weren't close to anyone." Alex underestimated Laurren.

"I lied to you. I don't need your present. I'll give it back. Give me my phone." Laurren tries to persuade Alex.

"I don't care about your lies!"

Alex got out of bed. He's headed for the door. Laurren quickly caught up, but his steps were blocked at the door. Two large-bodied men had held him back and pushed him to the ground. He was locked in his new room.

"You son of a bitch Alex. I'll get you back!"

Laurren squeezed his hair. "What's my fault." His eyes have been red and full of tears.

Elsewhere, Azharin lived her life quietly. He plays the role of a good wife. Preparing Bernard's needs, from breakfast to dinner.

Bernard's promised honeymoon was still postponed due to Bernard's busyness. Azharin never protested even to understand. It made Bernard calm and love Azharin even more.

But that doesn't mean they never make a fuss. If it was Bernard who always started because of jealousy, now Azharin who likes to fuss because of cultural habits.

After work, Bernard always wears his shoes to the living room. Azharin wasn't used to it. Azharin always protested and Bernard only gave a sweet smile and kiss on Azharin's cheek. Although not refusing Azharin remained upset.

On Bernard's leisurely day, they always worked together cleaning the house and cooking. Bernard also brought Azharin to shop to fill the fridge or just visit somewhere.

Azharin never regretted her reckless decision to see Bernard's love for her. Slowly his heart began to dock with Bernard's love and one night Bernard waited, he said "Honey, I love you. I want you.'

Bernard would have loved to hear Azharin's words. Although Azharin always refused verbally, but his verbal body language was enough to be an answer for Bernard to postpone other obligations.

Bernard willingly tormented the inner for three months. For him it was nothing compared to his wife's heart full of pain. That night Azharin spilled all of her love and was increasingly convinced Bernard sincerely loved her.

Two hearts of two bodies come together to taste and give affection. Drown yourself in the name of love, passion and affection. Since then their nights have filled each other, joking and sleeping well.

Azharin always preached to Sonia and only occasionally preached to Armian. That's if Armian asked first. Azharin always sends greetings to her brother through Sonia.

When Sonia gave birth, Azharin could only give a greeting and promise a gift when she came to her hometown. Azharin said the postage was expensive and made Sonia pout while Azharin chuckled. Sonia's not happy, she's asking for encouragement. Azharin nodded in agreement. He'll transfer for his mere nephew. With Bernard's permission.

All the quiet and orderly walk felt Azharin, Bernard also felt so. The more days he understood Azharin the more understanding and mature. Bernard loved her very much.

One day after six months of their marriage, Bernard told Azharin, "Barbie, I have a business trip to Indonesia tomorrow morning, do you want to come?"

"really? Of course I want to." Azharin was very pleased. "Can I meet my friends?"

"Can." Bernard gets a rain of kisses and hugs. Azharin was so happy..

The next day, they flew straight to Azharin country and were picked up by Armian.

"Don't think you need a brother." There was an insinuating tone heard by Azharin. Azharin let go of her embrace and pinched her brother's waist.

"How are you doing in-law?" armian asked as he shook Bernard's hand.

"As you can see."

"Thank you for bringing my sister home."

"Yes." Yeah."

Armian drove down the street. Then as he turned, Azharin asked, "Where are we going?" Azharin finds out this isn't the way to her old house.

Armian only turned his head cursory through the middle rearview mirror. Armian again got a question from Azharin. "Where are we going? What is it you can't answer."

"We're going to the hospital." Armian answered briefly.

"Who's sick?" Azharin. He felt that Sonia and her nephew were in good health when Azharin went to Indonesia.

"Mama." Armian said again.

Azharin stiffened and fell silent looking deeply at Armian. At first glance, Armian could see the confusion of his sister.

After some time and Azharin recovered from his shock, he asked Bernard, "Is this the play of the two of you?" azharin said disappointed.

Bernard quickly embraced Azharin. "I'm sorry Barbie. I don't want you to regret it someday."

"I don't want to see my mom."

"Mama wants to see you." Armian directed the car into the parking lot of the large hospital.

"Why are you so selfish of me? Why only think about my mother's feelings, but never my feelings?" ask Azharin with a swish. Her tears have gathered and will soon flow.

"I'm sorry, brother, and I'm sorry. Mama loves you very much. Mama doesn't want you to feel pain after knowing how she is."

"Mama why?"

"Later tell me everything. Now we meet my mom. I was afraid there was no time. Mama's just waiting for you."

The three of them rushed to the treatment room. Armian pushed open the door of the ICU room and Azharin saw Sonia beside the bed.

Azharin stepped slowly with various emotions present. The woman he hadn't seen in years and had only seen for a moment when after a long time without meeting, was now lying helplessly in a hospital bed.

The body is thin, only the skin of the bone bandage remains, the cheeks are so sunken. Bernard exerts strength through a soft squeeze on Azharin's shoulder. Move closer to the edge of the bed.

Azharin went back to war, between longing and hate, between pity and anger. Hate and anger were gone when the woman's eyes opened and looked at Azharin with guilt and tears streaming down her mother's cheeks. For a moment, the eyes closed again.

The hand that had bones and skin was stretched out to reach Azharin's hand. But there was no power to lift it. Azharin's heart throbbed sorely. The bitterness so felt piercing the recesses of his heart. Anger and hatred were no longer left in Azharin's heart. The woman's body was attached to several aids.

"Mama ..." call her poignantly and kiss the back of her mother's hand. Azharin's tears had spilled soaked her mother's wrinkled skin.

"Mama ..." call Azharin back to hug her mother's dry body. Azharin kissed his mother's cheek.

"I'm sorry mom." Azharin heard a very weak whisper from her mother. Azharin raised her head and looked back at her mother's eyelids opening slightly.

"I'm sorry Arin is also Ma." Azharin kissed her mother's cheek again. Tears kept pouring from her eyes. His mother did not answer with a word, only eyes that blink and tears flowing answers from his mother. Then the monitor started to sound flat and signaled the woman was gone for good.

"Mama ... Why did you do this to me?" tanya Azharin still hugged her mother's body.

"What's my fault Ma?"

The woman he called mama no longer answered and did not even respond. That woman has been sleeping forever.

"Arin, ichlaskan. Mama's waiting for your forgiveness. Mama's been in the ICU six days." Armian's voice rang out as doctors and nurses confirmed and began stripping off medical devices attached to his mother's body.

Bernard embraced and took Azharin out and looked for a seat. Sonia went and returned with a bottle of mineral water and gave it to Bernard. Bernard opened the bottle and asked Azharin to drink. Azharin swallowed and just a mouthful.

Azharin was shackled in regret. He sat in silence, staring blankly, a blank look at his heart.
