The Love Between Two Countries

Love Mother-in-Law

The strongest communication pole maintains a relationship. If it doesn't exist, it's all just lingering in different thoughts.

_____

Two weeks passed. The couple's husband and wife still have no news of each other. Dissolved in the opposite mind. Azharin still locked himself up a lot. She recalled the grave of her baby away from her country even from her father's country. He only saw it once when he got out of the hospital.

Until one afternoon he heard a noise from the aunt who nurtured his nephew and the cry of his nephew.

A panicked voice for help was heard from another room. Azharin got up and ran to his nephew's room. Forgot on his stomach that still leaves pain when moving too fast.

"Non, please Den zein has a high fever. I've been trying to contact my father and mother, but neither can be contacted." Anxiety hit the little nanny's aunt's face.

Azharin fingered his nephew's forehead. The hot air spread directly into Azharin's palm. Azharin wasn't panicking like her aunt. After finding out his nephew had a fever, the first step he overcame first was to head to the medicine box available at his home.

Azharin searched for a heat-lowering drug and went to the refrigerator taking the available bye bye fever. He went back to his room and asked his aunt for help. After giving the medicine and putting a practical compress on Zein's forehead, Azharin hugged her nephew.

The first hug he gave after his return. Zein began to look calm in Azharin's lap. Azharin watched his nephew closely.

A pug nose but thick eyebrows adorned the face of his nephew. There was another sense when fondling Zein. Comfort and calm in his heart.

Azharin realized, she must be sincere for the spirit of her baby. "I can't fall. This bitterness is my first step to keep running my future." He said to himself.

Azharin placed Zein carefully. He asked aunt to stay by Zein's side. Azharin wanted to fill her stomach.

"Bi, I'll eat first. Please auntie just here to see Zein." Aunt gives a nod.

Azharin went out of the room and took a little rice and side dishes and vegetables. Azharin ate with a slight laugh. Suddenly she missed her husband. He also felt guilty and ignored the disappointment that Bernard had never contacted him.

Azharin headed towards Zein's room after finishing the meal. Seeing Zein asleep and her nanny's aunt also asleep, Azharin slowly closed the door and headed to her room.

He took his phone. She almost never scratched her phone, so how could she know her husband hadn't called.

Azharin turned on her phone, she charged when she found out it couldn't turn on. While waiting for his phone to fill up, he combed his hair and thinly applied powder and did not wear lips to his lips. She tidied up the disheveled bed.

Half an hour later he turned on his phone. Open WhatsApp messages and read them one by one. There, there's Alex, Glorya and even a voicemail from Barbara. Asking when she came home and saying she missed her and her little sister so much that she didn't know she wasn't there.

There was a sense of disappointment when not getting a single message from her husband, but it was covered with a sense of wonder in her heart. "Hmm, did they not know that I was in my country and my baby was gone." He nodded while continuing to read.

Azharin replied to her sister-in-law's message. "I'm in Indonesia Glo, I'm sorry I just replied. I'm not okay, Glo." Write it honestly.

Still not getting a reply, even Glorya had yet to look active. He replied to Alex's message. "I was pretty disappointed yesterday with everything Lex. I'm sorry I left without telling you."

Alex immediately responds when getting a notification from his personal phone. Knowing from Azharin, he immediately called. He asked where Azharin was going. Ask questions and don't forget to apologize. Azharin did not blame Alex or her husband. Circumstances that are not on his side.

Azharin was also honest when Alex asked Bernard. Alex and Bernard did not communicate personal matters after Bernard's exit from the matter. He only talked about business and each one was busy with his business affairs.

Azharin tried to contact Glorya when she found out that Glorya had not read the message. The second time, Glorya picked up the phone and asked directly to the video call connection. Without asking Azharin's situation, Glorya immediately asked, Azharin when to visit them.

Azharin said, "I'm in my country, Glo."

Glorya's incredulous look and open mouth invited her mother to approach the princess. "What's wrong?" ask the mother who is laying breakfast for her husband.

Glorya pointed the phone at her mother and the mother looked happy to see Azharin's face. Still with the same request as Glorya and the same face as Glorya, when Azharin said no in the United Kingdom.

The mother asked for a moment to return to the kitchen and then took Glorya's phone when she returned and sat side by side with Glorya in the dining room.

"What's the matter, baby?" asked Azharin's mother-in-law softly and frankly.

Azharin then recounted briefly from the beginning he began to be in pain when separated from Bernard. Tears of sadness began to pool as the story got further and further. Azharin also said frankly Bernard never contacted and Azharin understood because of his mistake that went without saying goodbye.

"That's how Ma told her story. I'm sorry because at that time my heart was really scared without her Ma. My brother has to go home."

"There's no need to regret and blame yourself, son, you understand your situation. Does your mom have to explain to your husband?"

The happy sparkle was painted in Azharin's eyes. "Thank you Mama would do it. He would have been more receptive if mom had explained. I know Ma's nature, now he's disappointed and angry with me. It's hard to explain Ma. While my condition still has not recovered to return there Ma."

"All right, son. Let's end this conversation. Mom will call you again. Mama will call your husband."

"Thank you again, Ma. Yes, I will, see you. I love you, Ma." Azharin's tears regained their minds in her eyes. She longs to be in the arms of her mother-in-law who does not distinguish her affection between her and her biological daughter, Glorya.

"Mama misses you too. Mama's gonna have Bernard pick you up." Azharin nodded and the connection ended.

"Thank God for the path you have given. May my husband forgive and understand." Azharin prayer in the heart. She felt very grateful to have the complete affection of her mother-in-law.

If Azharin laid herself down for a moment to release the remaining burden, the mother-in-law immediately contacted her son.

"Hallo baby, are you awake?"

"Already Ma. What's the matter in the morning to call?"

"Mom ask you to come here right now, your dad's in the hospital."

"Papa hurts what Ma!" Bernard's surprised. At the age of his father who was dusk, he knew his father did not suffer from any pain.

"In medical treatment. Mama asked you to come here right now!" pinta's mother was firm.

"Good Ma."
