Alin and Hazar
CHAPTER 52

Hazar was walking with Wira, they passed through several groups of parents and children who were staying at the halfway house.

Wira escorts Hazar to a room that is quite spacious and has many glass windows. The room was usually occupied for meetings by medics and volunteers in the house. There is a large table surrounded by many chairs on each side.

The hero pulled out a chair and invited Hazar to sit down.

“I stay a while, Sir.” Wira said when Hazar had been sitting on the chair he had pulled earlier.

Hazar just nodded small, barely looking at it. He doesn't know what to behave like. Since the beginning of this time Wira has used formal language on him. It was very different from the first and second meetings they had.

When the hero disappeared behind the door. Hazar sighed and exhaled with a huff. Why should he look clumsy and die in style in front of that snot boy. This is not him at all.

Hazar spread his gaze around the room. His right hand continued to tap on the surface of the table.

The hero returned with a cup of hot tea.

“Please, Sir.” The hero put a teacup on the table, then stood not far from Hazar's place.

Hazar looked at Wira, but remained silent. The one who was stared at was also silent in his place. After a few seconds Hazar pointed at the chair with his eyes. The sign asks the Hero to come sit.

As if understanding the spirit was sitting down. His position is now right opposite Hazar.

“Is there anything you want to say?”

“Not, i. Looks like you're the one who wants to talk now, Mr.”

Hazar's frowns staring confusedly at Wira.

“Alright, it seems like Today we are talking about this halfway house only, Mr.” said Wira because Hazar seems to have no intention of making a sound.

Seven minutes passed...

Wira straightforwardly explained all the activities carried out by the administrators and volunteers at the Mama Diana halfway house. Actually he didn't have to report directly to Hazar. He could have emailed Karin with Hazar's assignment to take care of all the house's necessities. But, how else there is no topic of conversation other than this.

“Then what else do you need?” ask Hazar after Wira finishes her report.

The awkwardness that happened at the beginning just disappeared. Hazar was listening to the presentation of his company employees. Until unconsciously he was drifting in the Wira report.

It's like remembering something. “Oh yes, Sir. Tomorrow we plan to create a new activity. We want to invite the children to garden.” replied Wira.

“Isn't the land behind still empty,”

“iya, still empty, sir. Did you allow us to use the land behind?”

“Of course, wear it. I'll send you all the necessities for gardening tomorrow.”

“Thanks, Mr.”

Hazar nodded, now his eyes were looking at the glass window. His eyes looked beautiful and empty. Her memory goes back to Alin. Why is his wife never here again? Is this house not what his wife wants?

Hazar.

“You are fine, Mister?”

“Ya.” Hazar replied without taking his eyes off.

“Are you not busy?”

“No.”

“Do you want to rest in the room?”

“No.” ogre.

“What do you want to end the wedding, you?”

“No.” Hazar answered only the origin. His eyes still looked empty.

“How about Alin?” The hero still asks.

“I don't know.” Hazar took a deep breath.

Waitaminute!...

Hazar straightened his back. Turning to look at the hero.

What did he just talk about?

*

“Mr Tomi's condition is getting worse, Madam. We recommend that Mr. Tomi be hospitalized for a few days.” Doctor Farhan said.

Mama Rosa massaged her forehead which was increasingly throbbing. She even almost lost her balance, fortunately her husband swiftly held her back.

Papa Adi rubs Mama Rosa's back. Mama Rosa told me about what Alin said in the room. If Papa Tomi returns to be treated, it is certain that Alin will again feel guilty.

“We treat Papa in another hospital only.” Papa Adi said this is the only way that comes to his mind now.

Mama Rosa looked confusedly at Papa Adi.

“We keep it a secret from Alin.” Papa Adi.

Mama Rosa let out a long sigh, then nodded, agreeing with her husband's suggestion.

That afternoon, Tomi's grandfather was taken to the hospital.

“Doctor says, Grandpa is like this because of lack of reflection. So Mama wants to take Grandpa for a walk for a few days. You are fine, at home. Mama will tell you that Mama has arrived.” Pamit Mama Rosa on Alin

“Papa told you earlier.” replied Papa Adi lied.

Hazar has not been told by them.

When the car driven by Grandpa Tomi and Mama Rosa disappeared in the distance Papa Adi also invited Alin to go back into the house.

“Why didn't Papa come with Mama?” ask Alin.

“ Today Papa still has a job. Maybe tomorrow Papa will follow. You take a break, Papa has to leave in a moment.” Papa Adi patted Alin's shoulder gently, then walked into his room.

*

“Auntie, I'm hungry.” Alin said as he was about to climb the stairs, Aunt Fatma appeared from the kitchen.

Aunt Fatma smiled, drawing closer to Alin. “Nona want me to make what?” tanyakanya.

Alin did not immediately reply, he looked at the face of his Nanny Aunt. Since the incident that night, Aunt Fatma's attitude also changed to her. Her old Fatma Aunt has returned. Yes, long ago, before Aunt Fatma was fired, Aunt Fatma always obeyed whatever she wanted. Even Aunt Fatma also often helps Alin to escape from home. Making Alin a spicy super food secretly, because if it gets caught by Papa Haris, Alin could be punished.

“Whatever Auntie cooks. I'm waiting in the room, Auntie.” Alin pulled the corner of her lips.

“Alright, Miss. Your order will be soon I inter.” Aunt Fatma bowed like a waitress.

Alin chuckled, bowing like Aunt Fatma. In the past, if Aunt Fatma acted like this, it was a sign that forbidden food would be delivered to her room later.

“I want maximum level, Aunty!” Alin yells because Aunt Fatma is almost lost behind the door.

***

That day Hazar rested in a halfway house. He occupied Alin's bedroom, which he deliberately provided for his wife if she wanted to stay there. The room they used to occupy the day before the inauguration of the halfway house.

Hazar's sleep was interrupted by the loudness of her cell phone ringtone. With his eyes still closed Hazar fumbled on the bed beside him, in search of the noisy object.

Before picking up the phone call Hazar opened his eyes. It turned out that Papa Adi was calling.

“Halo, Pa.”

“You're sleeping? where?!” ask Papa Adi astonished. Obviously he saw his son leaving the house and his uncle going to the office.

How could his son even sleep during working hours like this.

“At the halfway house, Pa. What's up, Pa”

“Papa is in your office now.”

*

From the halfway house Hazar immediately drove his vehicle to the hospital mentioned by his father. He had protested why his grandfather was admitted to a hospital far enough from their home. And why not at the hospital where Alin works? The facilities at Alin hospital are certainly better and more sophisticated than the hospital mentioned by his father earlier. But, Papa Adi simply replied.

“Let's Papa explain, now you're fast here.”

“How is Grandpa doing now?” hazar asked, he immediately approached Grandpa's bed when he reached the treatment room. Papa Adi got there first.

“Sit!” Mama Rosa asks Papa Adi and Hazar to join her on the sofa. “Grandfather is fine, he is just sleeping, doctor just gave him sleeping pills.”

Hazar and Papa Adi join Mama Rosa. Now he is sitting on the sofa.

“Do not let Alin know.. if Grandpa is being treated now.”.

Hazar frowned, looking questioningly at Mama Rosa.

Mama Rosa let out a long sigh, slapping her face on both palms.

Papa Adi rubbed his wife's back, trying to calm down.

“Alin said to Mama, if you can marry again.” Papa Adi said softly.

“What?!” Hazar immediately pulled his back from the back of the sofa. His face immediately turned angry.

“He feels guilty about Grandpa's situation now.”

Hazar rubbed his face violently. This was the thing he had avoided the most since the incident that night.

“Your father-in-law, was here. He also apologized many times. He said, the state of you and Alin now does greatly affect Grandpa.” health Mama Rosa's tears are flowing.

Hazar hated this kind of situation. He stood up and was about to leave. But his hands were caught by Mama Rosa.

“There's no harm in you getting married again. Alin has already authorized it.” Mama Rosa pleaded.

“MAMA!” Hazar's eyes were wide open, and he did not expect that his mother would speak like that.

“This is for Grandpa, Hazar. You can choose any woman you want. Let Mama take care of everything.” Pinta Mama Rosa broke into tears.

Hazar forcibly let go of his mother's hand. Then pass away.

“HAZAR!”

Mama Rosa lost her balance until she fell to the floor.

“Mama!” Papa Adi swiftly caught the body of his wife.
