The Azkia Wound Flakes
Fill Ardila's heart

Ardila. He was confused as to how to respond to Azkia's story. On the one hand, he was happy because Azkia still had a human nature by not aborting her fetus. But on the one hand he felt that Azkia's attitude was not right. Why did he hide it from Nico?

"Why didn't you tell Nico about your son, Ki?" ask Ardila.

"How can I say that he doesn't try to care about me, Di? He had already rejected her irresponsibly, was it after thirteen years that she was willing to make an effort for it?" Azkia started shaking saying it all.

"I told Nico..."

"Already, Di. If he really cared, he shouldn't have behaved that way. He should have tried to notice how I was doing all this time. I don't know what you're talking to Nico. I just don't want to associate my son with him. My son is grown. He'll understand later." Azkiah got up from his seat. As much as possible he tried to hold back his tears so as not to fall on his cheeks.

Ardila held Azkia to leave immediately.

"Ki..."

Azkia stopped her steps.

"I'm asking for help, Ki. give Nico another chance. I'm sure he must have tried harder especially for you and your son" Ardila pleaded.

"I've got a boyfriend, Di. Please don't put Nico back in my life. I don't want to disappoint anyone else because of Nico." Azkia replied wiping away her tears.

Ardila could not say anything more. He took his hand off Azkia's hand. Azkiah left without looking or saying goodbye to Ardila. Ardila is the same. He was sitting limp in his chair. Massage her forehead that doesn't feel dizzy.

Ardila just remembered Nicolas's story. That he heard Azkia speaking in Javanese and saying the word "hospital". Could it be Azkia's son who was sick?

Azkia came to the office very late. His conversation with Ardila was right - brnar took time. After all this time he lived a quiet life from Nicolas, why he met again and made his life much affected by problems.

"You're late, Ki?" tanya Mia brought a glass filled with water.

"I've met the client. So it's a little late." Azkia replied without looking at Mia. Mia noticed Azkia's tired-looking face.

"Have I met a client, your face is moody? Any obstacles?" ask Mia.

"No, Mi. I just cape aja last night lack of rest." Azkia lie that he rarely do.

"Look easy. Happy work, Ki.." replied Mia as she passed from Azkia's desk.

Azkia held her head. It hurt a lot when he talked about his past with Ardila. It was not easy for him to share his secret with Ardila. Although he himself knew, someday, sooner or later many will know that Azkia gave birth to a child without a husband.

Sad, feeling dirty and dirty. That's what Azkia thought. Butno. Kean is big. He cares more about what Kean's reaction is than anyone else. Especially Kevin. Should he continue his relationship with Kevin? Kevin has always been honest and never lied to Azkia. Azkia though? He hides something that will never be lost in his life.

Diana sat down at her desk. Since her arrival to Indonesia, Diana just wanted to plunge into the business world where there is Kevin in it. But occasionally he felt annoyed with an employee named Azkia. 

"Excuse me, ma'am." call Diana's secretary who brought some files and hand them over directly to Diana. 

"What about that background investigation called Azkia?" ask Diana. 

The secretary was a little silent then inevitably he would open his voice.

"It's not complete, ma'am" the secretary said 

"Azkia used to live with her father, mother and sister. But now he lives with his sister and mother only. His father had died of illness." explained the Secretary. 

Diana nodded slowly. 

"There again?"

"I'm looking for more info, ma'am. Later I will tell you if I have got the info" said the Secretary and then said goodbye from Diana.

Diana nodded. He still did not feel anything strange from the examination. He still knew the girl named Azkia.

Nicolas could not wait for news from Ardila. This morning Ardila called her and said that she was going to meet with Azkia. Nicolas turned back his hape. He opened the lock screen, who knows he missed a phone call from Ardila. But he didn't miss anything. Finally, Nicolas felt anxious himself because Ardila did not also give news.

Nicolas unlocks the phone screen and calls Ardila. The ringing of the phone once twice still rings. But why did Ardila pick up the phone long ago? Tumbens. It's not usually like this.

Nicolas is getting restless. He turned off the phone and called Ardila again. This time Ardila picked up the phone.

"In."

"Why Nic?"

"Why? How long did you pick up the phone?"

"I was meeting." replied Ardila briefly.

"Where? Did you meet Azkia?" ask Nicolas with hope - please worry. Ardila did not immediately answer Nicolas' question. He was silent for a moment.

"On? You hear me?" asked Nicolas in wonder.

"Yes, denger. I met Azkia, Nic." replied Ardila, hesitating.

"Clearly how? What are you talking to him?" Nicolas was getting curious about what Ardila was talking about.

"I haven't seen Azkia for a long time because it's office hours." Ardila sounded like stalling.

"Then?"

"I wanted to talk about you two. But Azkia was hunted - in time I finally did not say anything." lie Ardila. He lied to Nicolas, so he asked Nicolas the question.

"Oh so."

"Nic, yes, advice. If you want to know Azkia better not through me. You're head of three Nic. Time to talk to Azkia just you have to go through me?"

"That's not what I meant." Nicolas said in self-defense.

"Nic. It's only natural that I think Azkia behaves that way. You used to refuse to take responsibility for the baby she was carrying. After all this time he disappeared and you found him again, you're not worried about his circumstances, how he's living life, but you're more concerned about your guilty self. Forget about it, Nic. Prioritize Azkia's feelings if you want to get her again. That's the key." Ardila said at length to Nicolas. He had long been very upset with Nicolas who behaved like a child like this.

"Loh, In. I talked to him, but he yelled at me, too."

"Everything you want to get isn't always on the smooth road, Nic. If you want to get a diamond, it's only natural that you have to pass through a large stone or a hollow road" said Ardila who immediately stuck in Nicolas's heart.
