Azhar drove very slowly, even several times the rider behind her horn several times.
Azhar tried to calm her heart and mind, she pulled over on a bridge. Azhar got down from the car and stood on the side of the bridge, Azhar looked at the river water below. He remembered Laura, the poor girl. His thinking.
Can't Azhar imagine how horrible the teenage girl's life is, and Nasha's? What if Nasha did the same?
Azhar got back in her car and ran her car at moderate speed while continuing to mutter dhikr to calm her broken heart and her chaotic mind.
Arriving at home, Azhar passed by a taxi that just came out of his house. Azhar thought maybe it was her Abi "It seems like I really have to save at least to buy a motorbike, kasian Abi" murmured Azhar.
Azhar went inside her house and she was stunned when she saw Nasha in the living room while enjoying a plate of fried rice.
The girl was not aware of Azhar's presence, she ate very voraciously as if she was very hungry.
"Assalamualaikum.." cried Azhar and Nasha looked up.
"Azhar, you're finally home too." exclaimed Nasha without answering Azhar's greeting. He immediately sipped water from the glass and after that stood up to Azhar who was silently pecking in place. Nasha walked over with a slight limp.
"Azhar, I ran away from home. I don't want to marry Ramos, Mama forced me. I can't, I don't want to, Ramos isn't a good guy either. He once yelled at me and him.. She's..." Nasha spoke without the slightest pause, she looked so panicked that even her eyes had turned red and glazed over.
"Shhtt, Nasha... Easy, Honey.. Relax, okay?" Azhar tries to calm Nasha down and subconsciously calls her dear. Nasha was silent but she still did not look calm "Now we sit down first, you finish her meal and after that we talk" said Azhar very gently. Nasha nodded and the two of them returned to the sofa.
After that Ummi Rifa came with warm tea for Nasha and he was also seen carrying ointment
"Continue eating her, Nasha. It's okay.." cried Azhar because Nasha was still silent.
"So he came here in a taxi, his legs sprained and also starved" Ummi Rifa said while chuckling.
"Nasha hasn't eaten since last night, Ummi. Sorry to be troublesome" said Nasha sungkan. Ummi Rifa chuckled small.
"What's up, you've eaten first. Your stomach was rumbling continuously from earlier" said Ummi Rifa and Nasha again eating.
Azhar looked at Nasha and somehow she felt concerned to see her lover's face, her eyes were swollen, there was a dark circle clearly visible under her eyes.
"You cry on?" finally Azhar asked. Nasha nodded while chewing "Slowly eat her" Azhar said again and Nasha nodded again.
Ummi Rifa looked at Nasha so softly, feeling sorry for the fate of this girl "After eating, apply ointment on your feet yes" said Ummi Rifa.
"Why feet?" azhar asked as she reflexively lowered her head and looked at Nasha's feet.
"Keseleo was fitting down through the window" answered Nasha and he again drank the water, the rice was up. After that he drank a warm tea offered Ummi Rifa.
"So, what happened, Nasha?"
.........
"Where are you going, Ma?" tanya Surya who saw Raya looked very neat.
"You go to the same boutique Nasha, Pa. Want to find clothes for her engagement event later" replied Raya while pulling her bag.
He immediately came out of the room, then he went up to the second floor to approach Nasha in his room.
"Sha.." cried Raya while opening the door, but she did not find Nasha there. The bed is still very neat, the study table is the same, the window is also tightly closed "Sha, are you in the bathroom?" yelled loudly while walking to the bathroom.
"Bie... Bi Tanti's..." Raya shouted calling her housekeeper. The middle-aged woman immediately ran in a row approaching her big madam.
"What's up, Madam?" ask Bi Tanti with a little hunting breath.
"Where's Nasha?" tanya Raya with a high tone.
"I don't know, Madam. Non Nasha hasn't been out of the room since last night" she replied.
Raya immediately rushed to Harry's room next to Nasha's room, Raya immediately opened the door and Harry was seen busy with his guitar and he was wearing headphones.
"Dear..." Raya took off Harry's headphones which of course made his son grow annoyed.
"What the hell, Ma?" ask Harry ketus.
"Where is your brother?" tanya with fiery eyes.
"It's the room" Harry answered still very tightly.
"There is, Har. Tell me Mama, where's Nasha now?" raya Bentak.
"Where do I know..." Harry snapped back. Raya growled and he immediately left Harry's room.
.........
Abi Fadlan and Ummi Rifa looked at Azhar and Nasha in turn. Nasha has revealed all the contents of her heart and the pressure she feels. Likewise with Azhar, the man had also expressed his love for Nasha in front of the two Azhar parents. Azhar had also told Nasha that she had gone to Nasha's house and met Ramos and the others there.
"I really can't, Azhar. It's about my next life in marriage, it's going to be a lot harder than going to medical school" Nasha said, "Imagine getting engaged to Ramos, I can't, what more if I have to be his wife"
"But anyway you still have to go home, Nasha. We'll talk to your parents one more time, okay? Hopefully now they will understand" said Azhar trying to convince Nasha.
"But I'm afraid, what if they still don't want to understand?"
"You have to try it first" Abi Fadlan said "We will take you home after Maghrib prayers" he continued.
Nasha could only nod. He was very unsure of Abi Fadlan's decision, but Abi Fadlan was also right.
What else Nasha instead went to Azhar's house, people could have been thinking bad about Azhar and her family because of Nasha.
"You better take a shower, Nasha. Soon adhan" said Ummi Rifa and Nasha again just nodded.
Ummi Rifa picked up a change of clothes for Nasha and drove Nasha to the guest room on the first floor, so Nasha would take a bath and change clothes there.
Azhar could only look at Nasha from behind, and she felt sorry to see Nasha walking a little limp.
"You too, son. You'd better take a shower and we'll pray together, we'll have to drive Nasha home"
"Yes, Bi..."
