Lara's Pieces (When the Ex Returns)
Should I Give Up Again?

Salma prepared dinner for the three. Askara, Azzura, and himself. Afifah has not returned from his eye home. He said he wanted a vacation at his eye-home. So she doesn't know that her mother's coming home. His mother came again, and wanted to live in his house again.

Salma did not know how Afifah and her husband's family would react if she saw Azzura coming home. Salma knew, Azzura came home because she was tired. Tired of bearing her pain alone, and she wants to be with her husband and son for the rest of her life. Yes Azzura wants Askara to re-marry her.

“But why new now? Where was seven years ago? Where the hell is he? Even if it hurts, Mas Aska will not leave it? She'll probably take care of him?” inner Salma.

Askara has also given a decision, if he allows Azzura to stay in his house again. Although Azzura had been divorced by him, but that was because Askara was forced to. All her family agreed to her marriage to Salma, especially when it was Afifa who wanted Salma.

“Salma later I tell you to prepare a room for you, Ra. You will sleep in the guest room, Ra?” askara.

“Oh yes, Mas. In the guest room?” azzura replied, as if his heart was not willing to sleep in the guest room, his bead was staring fixedly at the main room that is now in Salma and Azkara.

“Why, Ra?” ask Ask Askara.

“It's okay, Mas. Yes, I will sleep in the guest room. I realized, I left you a long time ago, and I am not your wife,” said Azzura.

“No need to discuss this first yes, Ra,” Askara said.

Salma heard their conversation while in the dining room. Salma from earlier in the kitchen was preparing fruit. She did not expect her husband to allow Azzura to stay at her house again. Unwittingly Askara brought in thorns in his household. Yes thorn, because Azzura was no longer his wife, since Askara decided to marry Salma, when Askara also took care of her divorce with Azzura after five years of knowledge left him, Askara also took care of her, because he no longer knew where Azzura was.

Salma could only shut up, pretending not to hear their conversation. Salma put a plate containing fruit. Then she sat down next to her husband.

“Padahat was first said, he came here just want to see Mas Aska and Afifah only? Why would you want to live here? Already so Mas Aska use the event huh? Don't see how” Inner Salma.

Azzura finally tells Askara and Salma everything he left because of what.  True to Salma's guess. Azzura left because of treatment abroad. Azzura is financed by pakde and budhenya in Singapore. Both of Azzura's parents had long since died, and his mother had also died from the same illness, which Azzura was suffering from. Azzura chose to leave, because she no longer wanted to trouble her husband. It used to be her husband who financed her mother's treatment up to hundreds of millions were exhausted. Who else would you ask if not Askara? All in vain, because his mother Azzura was not strong against his illness. And, after a year Azzura gave birth to Afifa. The disease appeared in Azzura's body again, the same pain as his mother.

Azzura did not want to trouble her husband, she did not want her husband to know because the pain would slowly take her life. Azzura asked for help from his pakde and budhenya in Singapore. He was there with his buddies and buddhists.

“You were my wife, Azzura. Want you to get sick like anything, I will still take care of you! Why do you have to go? And I also never know who bude and pakde you are. All this time you never told us you have a pakde and bude in Singapore? You just told me you had a mother?”

“Pakde is my father's brother, Mas. I just found out when mom died, suddenly she sent me a message on my social media account, I can't believe, I finally met them. I don't know, and I can't believe you have a sibling? And, it turns out they were separated since childhood. Dad's with his mom, sir's with his dad. I really want to introduce pakde and bude to mas, and everything. I have not yet introduced, my pain has recurred, and I have self-medicated, I covered it all up, and then I was advised to seek treatment in Singapore. Pakde asked me to talk to mas and mas family, but I do not want to trouble mas and everything again, because with the mas caring for mother alone has run out a lot, plus I am equally sick. I chose to join the pact to Singapore, but the same, until now I have not been separated from the pain,” explained Azzura.

“Perhaps if you used to follow my advice, before it spread badly, it probably won't be like this,” said Salma.

“Then Mbak Zura had breast tumor surgery, Mas,” explained Salma.

“When before I married you, I probably didn't know you,” said Azzura.

Askara rubbed her face violently. He really did not know what happened to Azzura just yet. Yes, he doesn't know at all. And Azzura covered it all up.

Azzura is an office staff at Askara company. Askara falls in love at first sight, and elevates him as his personal assistant, then enters into a relationship with him. Before working at Askara company, Azzura first worked part time at the restaurant because while studying. After graduating from college he was accepted into the Askara company, then after a year of working there, he was appointed Askara's personal assistant, because of the good workings of Azzura, and in addition Askara has fallen in love with him since Azzura finished the interview and passed by him.

“I'm sorry, Mas,” said Azzura softly holding back her tears.

Askara clasped Azzura's hand. He was crying, in front of Azzura. “Why are you always like this, Ra? Why do you always hide everything yourself? You know I was your husband at the time, Ra?” askara said with a sob.

“I don't want to trouble you. Since I haven't married you, I've been too much trouble for you. From releasing the debt of the father's relics, and the mother's treatment. Do I have to add to this burden again, Mas?” Azzura.

“Do you not know how I felt then, Ra? I almost ended my life, if no Afifa made me strong, I don't know what else to do? You're too cruel, Ra! Cruel to yourself, cruel to me, and Afifa!” askara was full of disappointment.

“I'm sorry, Mas.”

“Now how do I explain all this to mom, dad, papa, and everything? Also the most important with the Afifa. He lost you, he already knows you're his mother, he's looking for you while you sleep, Ra. You are not in bed, I do not find you by my side, in our bed. You're cruel, Ra!” askara said with a sob.

“Iya, I'm evil, Mas. I'm so mean.”

“Now you see, there is Salma by my side. She took your place all along, she became a mother to Afifa. Afifah asked for it, and I gave my heart to him, even though I couldn't. And now you're like this, back after everything changed. What do I have to do, Ra?”

“I just want to spend the rest of my life with you, Mom. With Afifah, even if you're not my husband anymore. Allow that,” the door.

Salma's tears fell instantly upon Azzura's request. Don't know how to. Whether there will be an incident when together with Dimas, an incident four years ago that made him slump with the request of Dimas.

“Should I give up again?” inner Salma.
