Divorce For Luxury

Chapter 9

Rosalina was already in operation early in the morning. Even though Azmar was not by her side all night, she continued her day with a smile. She also surprised Alif, who was still asleep in a dream.

"Alif.. Alif woke up. Alif has to go to school today.."

A mother always remembers her son. Alif woke up lazily after Rosalina surprised him. She smiled and persuaded Alif to take a shower and prepare to go to school.

But this morning, Rosalina had breakfast without Azmar. It was just the two of them. Because of that, Alif began to wonder.

"Mom, where's dad?"

"Dad.. went to work. Maybe he will come back today."

She said in a weak tone. Alif just nodded his head. Rosalina was also looking forward to Azmar's return. Aren't Hazre and Rosalina facing the same situation in this case? Unfortunately, they both don't know what their husbands and wives are doing behind their backs.

Veronica returned home. She looked tired. She went straight to the kitchen. Hearing a noise in the kitchen, Hazre, who was still asleep on the sofa, opened his eyes. He sat on the sofa rubbing his eyes. His hair started to tangle because he had just woken up. Without delay, he looked out of the house. It looked like Veronica's car was already in the yard. His eyes became fresh. He quickly looked for Veronica.

He heard a noise in the kitchen. His steps were fast towards the kitchen. Veronica was seen sipping cold water from a glass. He approached her in the kitchen.

"You..when are you coming back?"

Hazre started asking. Wrinkles were also engraved on his forehead.

"Just now."

Veronica replied sloppily. Hazre was a bit shocked.

"You just came back? Where did you go until you didn't come back yesterday? What were you doing outside?"

Hazre tried to ask gently. But Veronica's ears began to heat up listening to him.

"Can you not ask me all kinds of things? I'm tired of knowing, aren't I?"

Veronica said and walked away from there. Hazre just looked at Veronica's reaction to that question. Even though Hazre asked softly, he was answered in a harsh tone. Hazre just let out a long sigh. Hazre had to let Veronica scold him. He felt dizzy.

Mama in the hospital was thinking about something for a long time. Veronica's words were still ringing in her mind.

"If I killed Mom, wouldn't it be easy for me to replace Mom... All of them.."

She tried to find Veronica's meaning. And she even felt something. She felt something warm approaching his neck at that moment. His eyes were almost open but a little weak to realize it. With a blurred vision, she saw that there was someone's face very close in front of his face. She tried to remember the face. But it was a bit blurry to identify.

"It won't."

"Good morning, Mama."

Hazre said he had just arrived at the wardroom. Mama gasped when she saw a glimpse of Hazre who suddenly entered. All her thoughts were interrupted.

Mama answered the greeting with a smile. Hazre came back to visit her with food.

"Mama...Hazre brings more food for Mama. Mama eats it.."

"Isn't Hazre's work at the office a lot? Later, because of Mama, Hazre has a lot of work to do."

Mama is also worried about Hazre, who diligently visits her. Hazre just smiles.

"No, Mama. Hazre's work can be taken care of later... The important thing is, Mama has to be healthy."

Hazre's tone was weak. Mama knew the meaning of that tone of voice.

"Why is this? Hazre is like.. there is a problem.."

Hazre was silent for a while listening to that question. Usually, a mother must know her child's attitude from the womb.

"It's not... Maybe Hazre didn't eat earlier.."

Hazre didn't dare to tell Mama about Veronica. He just covered Veronica's fault against Mama.

"Why isn't Hazre eating? Hazre is diligent about feeding mom...but Hazre himself isn't eating anymore?"

Hazre asked with a gloomy face. He even gave a bland smile to mama. Pretending nothing happened.

"Oh yes...Isn't it today, Secretary Suhaimi has returned from abroad?"

Mama just remembered something. Hazre did the same. Mama purposely made Hazre smile back from his gloomy face. It seems that Mama succeeded.

"Uh yeah..Hazre almost forgot about him."

Mama giggled at Hazre's reaction, who patted his forehead. Mama was happy to see Hazre smiling again.

"Go... Invite him. He'll get lost later. Well, how do you know he's forgotten the ins and outs of Malaysia?"

Mama said with a laugh. Hazre also laughed at Mama's joke.

"Yes... Hazre will pick him up later."

Hazre said he just agreed. He and Suhaimi, his secretary, have been very close since the beginning. Despite their different rank, their bond of friendship remains intact. That is Hazre's view of his subordinates. Everyone is treated equally.

"When Hazre picked him up... Take him to see Mama.."

"Uh, why? What do you want to talk to him about?"

"It is...Mama also wants to say hello to him."

Mama made a request. Hazre once again agreed with Mama's words. But actually, Mama has a plan that she wants to discuss with Suhaimi later. I guess the discussion is about what is between them.
