Shattered
Chapter 41

Hazel was puzzled by everything that was happening before her eyes, and she turned to look at her husband.

"what do you mean by all this?" asked Hazel coldly. Right now his emotions were more domineering than his common sense right now.

"don't look at me like I want to kill you, come with me" Muaz said, pulling Hazel's hand. Hazel did not flinch from her place, causing Muaz to turn to her again.

"i don't want to come with you." when Hazel threw away her face. He was very disappointed with Muaz about the incident.

"you want to know what I meant, right? if we stay here, you know what I mean."

"explain it here, if you can't leave me here alone!" and Hazel took Muaz's hand away from him, and she turned her back to Muaz.

Muaz sighed, he had expected it to happen like this.

huft, if only you knew who planned all this, what would your reaction be?? murmured Muaz smiled faintly at Hazel who was behind him. Muaz had no other choice but to call the person who made this plan.

"today's your birthday, you should be happy" said Muaz patting Hazel's shoulder gently, then walking up the stairs.

Without Muaz guessing, Hazel galloped hugging him from behind while crying as she pleased.

"evil!!" he said as he slapped Muaz on the back, Muaz chuckled softly and turned his body to face Hazel.

"yes, I'm sorry to make you cry like this" Muaz said, wiping his wife's tears. Hazel looks cute with her eyes puffy, red nose in Muaz's eyes. Muaz kissed Hazel on the forehead and stroked her head slowly.

"i'll explain in Mami's room, that you should come with me." Muaz asked.

"i still don't understand all this Az, what does all this mean?! you were in favor of Papi's actions now suddenly uttered during my birthday. What really happened Az?" hazel looked at Muaz.

"eat it, I told you I'd explain it below" said Muaz patiently.

"alright, I won't forgive you if you don't explain details to me later."

"it's up to you baby." again Muaz's call made Hazel's cheeks red.

Luckily I was crying, so I didn't seem to be embarrassed.Well Hazel followed Muaz from behind.

As they entered Tresya's room, Hazel was startled by the sound of a bursting balloon and a confetti explosion that would spit out small paper hearts of red and white butterflies. Hazel was astonished to see everything, especially now her eyes are on her parents who hold each other, while the woman named Lea was now enjoying a hot tea on the couch.

What does all this mean?. Hazel was confused to respond to everything.

"happy birthday dear." said everything without exception as well as Muaz. There's a feeling of seeing it all.

"i'm not a child anymore" he said, wiping his tears occasionally. It seems like today he is crying because the first two things are disappointed with everything he heard today and the second one is happy because his family still remembers his birthday.

"even though you're twenty-five now, you're still our favorite little princess" Evran said, glancing at his wife.

Hazel was confused to see her Papi, who was carrying the man while holding the hand of another woman behind her Mama. It felt like Hazel was asking her Papa that.

"you must be wondering who this woman is?" evran asked on target, Hazel just looked up asking for an explanation from her Papi.

"he's Papi's youngest brother" Mami said, making Hazel turn to the woman who was smiling at him.

"i've never seen him" said Hazel.

"of course you never saw me, I'm living abroad. Geez, my niece's hand is very strong, huh." said Lea looked at the beautiful niece.

Hazel immediately approached and apologized for slapping her tant, if only she knew from the beginning that her tant was impossible for her to dare slap the beautiful woman's cheek.

"it's okay baby, the name is also you're shocked" Lea said as she stroked Hazel's head.

"sister, my role is over, isn't it? where's money?" Lea put her hand towards Evran. With a frown Evran took out his legend card and gave it to his youngest brother.

"thank you bro, oh well once again happy birthday dear, I'm sorry to have disappointed you earlier" said Lea staring at Hazel.

"just relax, baby, it's already Aunty go first yaa,bye all." said Lea opened the door and then came out. Now there are four humans in it. The atmosphere came back awkward, glancing at each other.

"I'm sorry" said Evran, breaking the silence between them. Hazel turned to her Papi, "i'm also sorry Pi has said such a disrespectful thing all along."

"you're not wrong, son, we're wrong, we should have thought about how you felt all along."

"it's okay, I'm used to this. Thanks to you guys, I'm a great independent woman, aren't I?" his steps made everyone laugh slowly.

"you're tough, son, we're proud of you, baby." said the two staring at Hazel. Hazel, who was moved, finally heard what she wanted to hear from her parents' mouths. The attention and affection he might get now.

This is the best birthday, he said, he will never forget this incident. A day that can unite his once misunderstood family.

Hazel immediately hugged her parents tightly, feeling the warm affection she had always wanted. Didn't expect that his age which is fairly mature is still thirsty with attention. But, there is nothing better than today on regretting later on. Hazel is so grateful her family is still tenable. The difficult obstacles that he faced first, now bear sweet fruit.

Muaz smiled looking at the family that had just been harmonious. He suddenly remembered his mother who was still in the territory of the jerk man who was the real culprit. Inevitably Muaz had to find a way for the man to immediately enter the bars. That way, the name will no longer be called criminal.

Hazel turned to Muaz who was pensive, She immediately let go of her parents' arms and approached her husband.

"what's wrong?" hazel asked as she gently patted Muaz on the shoulder.

Muaz was aghast, then turned to Hazel, "i suddenly thought of my mother" he said slowly. Hazel understands Muaz's feelings, and she wants to quickly solve Muaz's case.

"take it easy, pray to God that you'll be fine there. We'll be quick to solve this case" Hazel said, cheering her husband on.

"yes, it has to." - Muaz.

While they were talking, Beyza suddenly entered in a hurry while closing the door. They were all astonished to see Beyza.

"who's he, son?" mami asked glanced at Beyza. Naturally, Hazel's parents did not know Beyza because they had never met Beyza even at her child's wedding.

"he's my brother-in-law Mi, his brother Muaz." replied Hazel

"what's up, brother?" tanya Muaz looked at the strange face of Beyza who looked pale. He had never seen Beyza's face this pale.

"huft let me calm down for a while." pinta Beyza while taking a deep breath. Hazel gives Beyza mineral water.

"thank you" he said as he gulped down the mineral water. After being calm he sat down on the sofa staring at everything.

"sorry if I go in without knocking first." he looked respectfully at Hazel's parents.

"why are you running in a hurry, brother?" hazel asked curiously about her unusual sister-in-law.

"hmm, I don't mean to scare you, but we have to be careful from now on" Beyza said.

"from whom?" ask Muaz.

"huft, I lost two captives, one of whom was Iram's brother. I can't believe we almost met her bodyguard. I found the position difficult to fight against because that's why I ran here." explained Beyza.

"is he here?!"

Beyza nodded, "luckily he didn't see me, I think Iram's hospital admission has reached his ears. Looks like she's visiting her sister." she explained again.

"Iram in the hospital?"

"yes, I thought your reaction was the same as mine. But what else, that's the truth."

"you shouldn't have to run, brother, why do you have to run if you don't get caught."

"heheheheh sorry reflexes." said Beyza.

Actually that's not what made me run earlier, but I don't want to ruin the atmosphere that seems cheerful like this. I better take care of the problem myself. Come on Beyza hold on. he murmured in his heart.
