Muslims Are Strong for the Mafia
51: Faithfulness and Struggle

“For you, right eye Heri blind, Mas Cikho. Can you be him if you are? Blind for life?” lirih Azzura kebas. He still let his body be seized by his brother and papah them.

“The crime above the crime, maybe it's the name of what you did to Heri mas family,” said Azzura again still numb. “And until any time, there is no punishment worth even though you also experience everything you do to Heri.”

“Now I ask, what punishment is appropriate for you, if you alone can not make a person permanently blind because of your actions, again have the right? Right can see!” pissed Azzura.

Cikho who was still curled back to togetherness after getting a raw bogem from Excel, became silent. Her tears began to fade, and her heart was racing. Confused, completely confused, that was how he felt right now. Unexpected and still difficult to believe, his heart meant to have fun, giving Heri a warning so that the man no longer dared to approach Azzura, even ended up fatal.

Time goes on, and they still remain there almost without change. They were still thinking, what punishment is appropriate for Cikho? Also, how's Heri doing after the man had surgery on his head? However, before the man was unconscious, Excel still got back. Marking that Heri should not have amnesia.

Suddenly, Aidan remembered the wedding of Azzura and Excel which will be held tomorrow. Although only kabul ijab, just a ring for wedding gold they have not prepared.

“Tomorrow Mbak and Excel married, but we have not prepared anything,” said mas Aidan.

Hearing that, Shine or that Sham immediately stood up, staring at the no-accept Excel. “How can you stay married to Mbak Azzura when you know, in the past, Mbak Azzura still has a relationship with the chairman?!” his challenge and he realized had become a source of tension there.

“Never be the past if we want to be someone's future. Because no matter how valuable we are, if we are only the past, we will not be more valuable than what already exists and should be maintained!” assertively Azzura while standing up and staring at Shine full of warning. “I do care, I sympathize with what happened to you especially what happened to Heri. However, that does not mean I justify everything you do in revenge.”

“Because the same with Mas Cikho who burned the cottage, ... Your decision made Mas Cikho's parents bankrupt. You know, as well as the residents of the cottage who have families, thousands of employees who depend on the efforts of Mas Cikho's parents are also automatically threatened.” Azzura cried, very sad to imagine mass PHK that would automatically be experienced by employees of Cikho's parent company. “That much loss, ... the country of course is not necessarily able to bear it!”

Shine did not answer. And he was disturbed by the roar of Heri's hand that was secretly holding his hand. He glanced at the grasp of their hands, even though it only lasted for a moment because he returned to focus on Azzura who spoke again.

“Because I chose Mas Excel and will continue our relationship, purely because before this incident happened, we were committed to our family. It is only natural that I choose the relationship I am in. A clear relationship is fought for by me and Mas Excel. Not a relationship that requires me to fight alone as when Mas Heri chose to be considered dead, rather than fighting for our relationship,” continued Azzura.

An Excel to the point of crying hears as well as witnesses it directly. “My tough woman. I make sure, I will always make you happy,” he said even though he could only do it clean because he felt too bad.

Azzura who had been clumsy also became tearful staring at the poignant Excel. That made him disturbed, when he accidentally saw Heri's right hand that grasped the hand of Sham. “Mas Heri is awake?” sergeant ensured.

In that instant, all attention was immediately directed to Heri aka Helios. Including also Cikho who although still curled up, still quietly listening.

“Chairmen have just undergone major surgery, so it would be nice for the Chairman to rest first!” sergeant Shine is trying to get in the way. He could not bear to let Heri get hurt.

What Shine said was reasonable and even true, although Shine also seemed to try to extend the relationship between Azzura and Heri. Azzura who will initially complete his relationship and Heri so that there is no misunderstanding again, especially between Heri and Sham to Excel, has no choice but to remain silent.

“M-sorry ...” Just now Heri's voice sounded heavy, trembling typical of sick people.

Those who had just been silent, had immediately returned to make Heri as the focus of attention. “I'm sorry, Ra. Sorry for all my mistakes.”

Azzura found, clear granules continued to flow from both eyes Heri which until this moment is still covered with a mask. Honestly, his heart seemed to be sliced just from witnessing that, as well as what Heri had previously said.

Unfortunately, Azzura's affection for Heri is no longer as passionate as when they were together. Because since Heri prefers to be considered dead and Azzura decided to open his heart to Cikho and Azzura thought as an angel who sincerely loved him, Azzura's affection for Heri has become a matter of concern. Such is the principle of Azzura, preferring couples who are struggling with him than couples in the past especially the former. Azzura only adhered to the principle of his loyalty.

“Everything you say, nothing is wrong. And I'm really sorry. But as for my business with Cikho, until he becomes a mess like me, I will never forgive him. I can't possibly let go!” helois was still lying down and covering his face with a mask.

Azzura gradually sighed softly. “Whatever Mas decision, it's Mas right. But I really hope, Mas is able to take wisdom, learn from what Mas has experienced. As for our relationship, everything is clear. Because whoever we were in the past, if I was a wife-to-be and my husband-to-be was fighting for me, ... Mas know the answer.”

“In our relationship no one cheats. Neither did anyone seize or be taken. Because since Mas is more considered dead, I automatically also consider Mas so.”

“If asked my love for Mas, I still love. But my love is not the love of the couple. Now, my love for Mas is only a manifestation of appreciation because in the past, Mas once loved me sincerely. Even now, if allowed, I want to be Mas's sister only.” Azzura ended his words with a smile. Both fingers of his hands were busy wiping around his eyes.

“You guys, .. I also want permission, .. me and Mas Excel are getting married, Mas. Tomorrow. If you can, if you will, .. Come. The time and place we will announce,” continued Azzura, who this time became sobbing painfully, unable to look at Heri even though clearly the man's face was covered in a mask. He let the papah hold him, buried his face and made him shed tears on the chest of the field which from the beginning had always been the most comfortable place after the lap of the mama.

What Azzura said was already the end of Azzura and Heri's relationship as a couple. Furthermore, Heri and Cikho's affairs became the affairs of both of them and Azzura had no intention of interfering let alone being part of the two.

Azzura pampit, as well as Excel. But because it was heavy and unbearable for Mr. Maheza and Aleya's mother, they were still there.
