Mahligai Love Zeda Humaira Emerson
MC Zeda Humaira #94 - A Grasped Heart
Arsyad quickly activated his phone and he frowned when he saw there were several calls from his mother's number Anggun.
Arsyad glanced at Aira who was currently looking at the television screen with focus. Arsyad immediately wanted to contact Husna again because he wanted to know what was going on with the woman contacting him while they had disappeared from the life of Arshad like being swallowed on earth.
But on the other hand, Arsyad did not want to connect with them when he was with Aira, Arsyad did not want to reopen the wound that had not even been fully covered and dried.
After thinking long enough, finally Arsyad ventured.
"Can I ask permission?" Arsyad threw his meaningful gaze at Aira.
"meaning?" Aira asked with a frown.
"Tante Husna telfon, if I may, I want a phone call back," said Arsyad's great-grandson who of course made Aira's heart immediately gasp, recalling what had hurt her so much.
"Oh, whatever," answered Aira coldly, her gaze straight at the television screen in front of her but her thoughts and feelings were now starting to rage.
Arsyad realized Aira's different gaze made her feel guilty . "I don't mean to make you sad, I'm just asking for permission because now that I'm yours again, I'm going to tell you everything, I'm going to ask your permission in everything." Aira smiled faintly at what Arsyad said.
"I think I only belong to my children now," said Aira, he got up from his seat and was about to leave but Arshad held his arm.
"You must know how much I still love you, Humaira. I want to get back to you and live with our children."
"Don't forget our children's brothers" Aira's cynical heart throws Arshad away. Slowly he removed his hand from Aira's arm while Aira just silently noticed it.
Aira's chest rumbled back as she remembered she was not the only woman to be the mother of Arshad's child, her heart ached again considering she had felt a betrayal.
As Aira moved further away, Arsyad called back to her. "Humaira's..." Aira was still hurt at Arshad but she stopped her steps as she called out to him, as if her heart was still left in Arshad's hands.
While Via, he stared at abi and uminya alternately, Via could realize the bravery that existed between them and it made him sad.
"I came here to prove that I still love you so much, I want to fight for our love again" Arsyad said. "I want to start our relationship from the beginning."
Aira immediately turned around and immediately her sharp gaze met with an Arsyad gaze that was so sad. "Then what about him?" asked Aira with a trembling voice. "She was also pregnant with your child, Mas." Aira's tears came back to the point just to make Arsyad's heart like sliced.
Enough's enough! Arsyad came to re-knit their torn love, not to reopen Aira's wounds, not to make her cry again.
"I will be responsible to our son," replied Arsyad then . "That's my duty, forgive me," he said then looked down deeply.
"Why did you put yourself in such a complicated situation, Mom?" Aira's sigh that even now began to forget about the existence of Via, he wanted to forget his disappointment, pain and irritation to Arsyad. "Why don't you just stay where you live and let me be here. Why?!" Aira's chest was rumbling more and more, her gaze began to be unfocused due to the tears that had been blocked in her eyes.
"Why do you insist on fighting for me while I bear to forget you, I fight to extinguish the fire of my love but you...." He fizzed sharply as he approached Arsyad who was still sitting on the sofa.
"Because I know we still love each other" replied Arsyad who now raised his face again. "I want to renew our relationship again, dear. My life is meaningless without you and our children. When you left me, I realized how much I needed you by my side. And again, just one more time! Let the fire of love burn, I beg you...."
Aira did not respond to Arsyad's words, he just looked at Arsyad's face which was now completely different as before. Now Arsyad is much thinner, his cheeks are thin, his eyes are clearly visible even fine hairs on his jaw he just let it go, while Arsyad always shaved it neatly.
It did not escape the pantuan Via, Via also moved to sit to the side of the Abi that made Arsyad surprised because he was just aware of the existence of Via there. "What's up, Bi? Why did Abi and Ummi fight again?"
"No, Honey. We don't fight, '" Elak Arsyad.
"Who is Aunt Husna? And who's carrying Abi's child?" Via asked that immediately made Arsyad glare in surprise, he did not know what to answer while Via looked at him with curiosity.
"Why shut up?" Ask Via who made Arsyad tick.
"It's okay, honey. Em-meaning Abi, no one, that was Abi's friend with Ummi, nothing really," said Arsyad trying to convince.
"Abi, being pregnant means being pregnant, right? Being pregnant means having a baby sister like Ummi, right?" asked Via, he also looked straight at the bead of Arsyad's eyes to make Arsyad's heart pound, and Arsyad could only nod slowly in part. "Via does not want to have another sister of Ummi, Abi. Via wants a younger brother from Ummi Aira aja." he continued, Arsyad put his lips smiling, he stroked Via's head fondly.
"Yes, Via's sister is just a sister in Ummi's stomach."

The next day...
Graceful just silently looked at the ceiling of her ward with an empty look.
His hand touched his stomach which was now back flat.
There was nothing else he was waiting for because there was no more life there, it was over, it was over.
But no! Graceful not ready to make an end of it all. That is why he was not ready to tell Arshad that their son had now been taken away by the universe.
Graceful tears flowed from the corner of her eyes to wet the banta, she closed her eyes, took a breath and exhaled him.
Not long after, both of his parents came and they greeted Anggun gently. "How are you doing, Graceful?" ask the father.
"Never feel worse than this, Pa," Anggun replied, still closing his eyes.
"Arsyad sent a chat Mama," said Husna's mother who made Anggun immediately open his eyes.
"Mama tell him?" Ask.
"No, because yesterday the phone wasn't active. He just asked me how you were, Mama said fine. And now he's in..." Husna looked at her husband.
"Where?" Ask Gracefully.
"In Pakistan, with Aira."
