Having a child is certainly expected by Hazar. But he did not want to press Alin. He just wants his domestic relationship and Alin flows slowly and quietly. There should be no demands in their relationship.
Hazar feels a great dislike when Grandpa Tomi demands of her and Alin blatantly to have a child soon. Mama Rosa also often sues him. But, only to her one, Alin was never included by Mama Rosa.
Hazar doesn't know what to do. He could only stare at Alin's face as long as Grandpa Tomi kept talking about them. The cold expression that Alin's face displayed just now, made Hazar's feelings even more uneasy.
Hazar repeatedly sighed, not knowing what to do. There was no way he would ask Grandpa Tomi to immediately end the topic of his conversation. That must be very disrespectful.
Hazar is impenetrating, why should he be this scared? There is nothing wrong if a Grandpa expects the presence of a great-grandson from his married grandson. But why does this bother him so much. No harm, right?
“Sorry, Sir, Mistress.” Aunt Yona came with two brown envelopes in her hand. “This... there is a package for Mrs Rosa and Mr. Hazar.”
“From who, Bi?” ask Mama Rosa.
“There is no sender name, Madam.”
“Alright, Thanks, Aunty.”
All eyes were fixed on the envelope held by Mama Rosa. Hazar receives an envelope for her.
“What to open now?” ask Mama Rosa.
“Open, who knows important.” Said Papa Adi while shifting his seat closer to Mama Rosa.
Hazar also opened his envelope. Hazar frowned. At the top of the letter he was holding now was listed Alin's full name there. Hazar continued to browse through the contents of the letter he was holding.
Hazar closed his eyes. Both of his hands squeezed roughly the letter he was holding. His facial water instantly changed, with his jaw appearing to harden. He did not understand the contents of the letter he was reading. But, his feelings said that this was not a good sign.
Hazar snatches the letter held by his mother.
“Hazar..” Mama Rosa and Papa Adi are taken aback by her.
“Aibi, take Alin to room.” Hazar's orders suddenly.
Everyone stared confusedly at Hazar. But, no one makes a sound. Alin was silent and obeyed Hazar's orders. Without saying goodbye to the others, he immediately got up from his seat and stepped away, followed by Aunt Yona.
Hazar's heart felt hollow as he looked at Alin's back that was getting further away. His chest felt increasingly claustrophobic like being squeezed by a large chunk of rock. His mind continued to hope, that his current guess was not true. And even if the prejudice was true, couldn't this just be a nightmare for her.
Hazar looked at Papa Haris, His heart growing more and more beautiful as he looked at his in-laws face. From the look on Papa Haris' face, Hazar is like getting justification from his prejudice.
Hazar sat back down with his head bowed in one of his supported hands on his knees massaging his painful forehead.
Setyo's grandfather, who was sitting not far from Hazar, grabbed a letter from Hazar's grasp. Grandpa Setyo's eyes immediately widened when he found out that what he was holding now was Alin's medical record.
Everyone in the room became more confused. What exactly is going on. Why the atmosphere became gripping like this.
“Hazar... What is this?” Mama Rosa could not stand the gripping silence. “Hazar!” his insistence.
Papa Haris was forced to speak. Because Hazar seems to have no intention of explaining what really happened.
Papa Haris was heard sighing, before opening his voice.
“This is the medical record of the health checkup Alin.” Everyone seemed impatient listening to Haris explanation. “From last check. Doctors have diagnosed that Alin will not be able to have offspring.”
All eyes were wide-eyed, staring in disbelief at what they had just heard.
Hazar's head was bowing. That instant also her tears escaped just so wet her cheeks. Desperation, sadness, fear and helplessness melted into one.
Was he disappointed in Alin?
Equally no!
Ageing with Alin even without the presence of a child is not a problem for him. But, why should it be now, after Grandpa Tomi said she desperately wanted the presence of a child from their marriage. And he found out about his wife's infertility shortly after.
“What Alin already knows about this?” lirih Hazar's. He lifted his face while wiping his tears. His red eyes looked meekly at Papa Haris. Hazar really hopes Papa Haris says “Not yet.” But, again he had to fall back and crumble, as Papa Haris nodded his head.
It wasn't just Hazar who was crying. Mama Rosa even sobbed in the arms of Papa Adi.
Disappointed and angry. Only Grandpa Setyo felt that.
Happy, is the feeling that is filling Amel's heart now. How not, all the events today are more beautiful than the plans he has put together with Angel.
***
Slowly and very carefully Hazar laid down his body beside Alin. The room light was dead when he entered. There was only a dim light illuminating his vision. Usually he would be very happy to look at this scene. Coming home from work tired and tired. All was treated as he was greeted by the dim view that lit up his room with Alin lying quietly on his bed.
Everything is still beautiful to the eye. It's just his feelings that make everything feel different. His heart was filled with fear. No more feeling of relief at this time.
Afraid?
Yep!
Because suddenly he could be a psychic now. He seemed to have seen the end of his relationship with Alin.
Ended up?
Nah!
Hazar looked at Alin's face. Whatever happens, this woman will forever be his. His relationship with Alin will never end. Alin would never be able to escape his grasp. Any time, that! Batin Hazar's.
Meanwhile...
It was only a few meters away from where Hazar and Alin were lying.
An endless cry was still heard.
While looking at the door of Nonanya's room, Aunt Fatma sobbed. Aunt Fatma bit her lower lip while smothering her own mouth. Afraid that his cries will be heard by others.
So, here's the answer to his worry over the past few weeks. Aunt Fatma smacked her chest, she felt very tight. The air around him felt like it was turning thick. He cried out in his heart. Asking for happiness for her Young Miss.

“How can Alin's medical record get to Hazar's exit!?” Grandpa snapped when he got to his house.
Papa Haris just kept quiet, leisurely sitting on the sofa while removing the buttons of his top shirt.
“What is this doing?” furious Grandpa.
“Not.” replied Papa Haris briefly.
Seeing Papa Haris' indifference made Grandpa Setyo even more furious and angry.
“You will regret having done this. Do you still not like Hazar? After he built a halfway house to mending your wife, and he has even made your beloved son become the largest shareholder of the company he started himself. Where else is the lack of Hazar in your eyes!?” exclaim Grandpa Setyo. He still suspected that Papa Harislah had leaked Alin's medical record.
Papa Haris stared intently at Grandpa. “Hazar is perfect, and he is indeed a daughter-in-law whom I can be proud of.”
“But, all this has happened, and this is out of my control. And to me everything is still the same as I said to Papa. All I want is the happiness of my daughter.” Follow Papa Haris.
Grandpa Setyo grinned at Papa Haris statement just now. “Happiness you said! Do you think Alin will be happy after this? She will definitely be dumped by Hazar, and your barren daughter will live alone until the day of her death!” exclaiming Fiery grandfather.
“No I'll let that happen to Alin.” Said Papa Haris as he passed outside the house leaving Grandpa Setyo.

Amel could not wait to tell David about the good news. Arriving at home he immediately rushed into his room, did not forget also he locked the door. He had to be extra careful now so that his euphoria would not interfere. He even went through the debate of Grandpa Setyo and Papa Haris just like that.
