Chereads / Sacred Love (When Love Reigns) / Chapter 23 - To Live Longer

Chapter 23 - To Live Longer

"Mommy?" Ayu said when she saw her mother's name appear on her cell phone screen.

While saying the string of remembrance, Ayu shifted the green icon on her cell phone screen.

"Mom, to Dad's office, let's go!" Zaskia's slurred voice really relieved Ayu's heart. But wait, to Firman's office? What for? he thought. 

"Duh... Mom is busy Ki, there's a lot of work for Mom and Abi to do, dear." Ayu explained in a tone that was made as regretful as possible.

Not wanting to have the heart, but Ayu is aware that she has been away from Darma Corp for too long. He even had to start preparing himself to face the fury of a Thareq Akbar Satria. Ayu could easily guess that the other side of her little girl's lips must have been pursed like a duck.

"Later--"

The little girl he gave birth to five years ago was activating her cranky mode. Zaskia's call was disconnected when her request was refused as gently as possible by her mother.

Sometimes Ayu thinks why should her stubbornness decrease to Zaskia? Ayu is often even made to stroke her chest because of the little girl's behavior. 

Ayu's heart is no longer giddy after talking to Zaskia, the little girl has always been the antidote to Ayu's tiredness. Speech is prayer, that is what convinces Ayu that the results of the examination will be as she expected. 

Ayu is now ready to leave the Hospital area and immediately head to Darma Corp. Ayu had sent a message via whatsapp to Akbar as an apology for coming late to the office to leave Akbar alone to face the investors. Ayu, who has been good at turning the wheel since she was 17 years old, seems to have left the Bakti Husada Hospital area.

Suddenly....,

CIT~~~

Ayu had to step on the brake pedal suddenly because the car stopped right in front of her car, strangely Ayu didn't even know who the owner of the car was? What motive did he have for intercepting the car? From the license plate, Ayu can conclude that the car is a new car.

Ayu's dark eyes bulged, her lower jaw opened wide to see a figure coming out from behind the passenger seat. Afif's word, is this really what Ayu thinks. Firman banged on the windshield, asking the mother of one child to get out now.

Ayu's hands suddenly trembled when she saw Firman's shattered stature. KREK~~~

Ayu's car door doesn't give off such a beautiful figure even though she's 24 years old. Ayu could clearly see that not only was she shaking, but Firman was no less shaking than he was.

The gases of both Zaskia's parents locked with each other. Ayu can't conclude what really happened, but she tries to send telepathy through her eyes that she's fine.

Firman quickly pulled Ayu into his arms, tightly locking Ayu's frail body as if this was their last hug. Ayu's head was perfectly pressed against Firman's chest, so he could clearly hear Firman's racing heart. Ayu's hand reached out to stroke Firman's back in an up and down motion.

"Don't go, honey. I'm afraid to lose you, I can't be without you," Ayu could feel the vibrations inside Firman. The recesses of Ayu's heart fluttered hearing the words of Firman.

"I'm only gone for a while, so you can live longer." Ayu thought as she hugged Firman no less tightly. Until their togetherness was broken because of the baritone voice of the figure who had been watching the two together from behind the rearview mirror. 

"What are you doing at the hospital, Yu?" asked Akbar straight to the point without making small talk first. Ayu looked around in all directions, Firman and Akbar as people who had been friends with Ayu a dozen years ago were very understanding of the woman's behavior.

"Suci Indah Ayu!" said Akbar very firmly and with full emphasis. The handsome man seemed to demand more explanation from Ayu.

"I had the flu last night so I came here for a check up." Was the only alibi Ayu could use to convince the two men. 

Even though it sounds logical because it is supported by his pale face, it doesn't necessarily make Akbar just let Ayu go.

"Then where's your medicine?" said Firman while holding out his hand asking for Ayu's medicine.

Ayu is increasingly made to die by this friend of hers. Thankfully there was a Word that saved him from this precarious situation.

"If Ayu says she's sick, well, she's really sick, Bar. You don't have to pressure her!" said Firman until he pointed his index finger at Akbar.

To save Ayu, Firman quickly takes Ayu into his car. When he was about to go around Ayu's car, Firman winked and Akbar nodded his head in return. In their eyes, Ayu is still easily tricked. 

~~~

Sky tonight in the city which has the nickname the city of flowers is covered in clouds. Not a single star adorns it. Likewise with the man who was looking up at rawismara languidly.

He seemed to want to curse the fate that the universe had outlined for him. 

Why did he have to feel the beauty of falling in love when his life would no longer be? Why was the woman he loved the child of a partner he had hurt so badly? The incident 26 years ago seemed to discourage Agasa Maha Putra from approaching Suci Indah Ayu.

Agasa knows that Galih will not give Ayu easily. After losing Angga Wardana Prasetya, Papa Galih will be selective about the people around him. 

It's enough for Angga that he has to give it back to Him, Ayu doesn't. The doctor's verdict several years ago also seemed to relax his intention to approach Ayu. Leukemia is one of the deadliest diseases in the world.

Leukemia is caused by abnormal white blood cells in the body and grows uncontrollably. The exact cause of the changes that occur is not yet known, but the following factors are thought to increase the risk of developing leukemia.

Doesn't love have to be fought for, to hell with the figurative love you don't have to have. Almost everyone suddenly becomes selfish just to make his wish come true.

Agasa Maha Putra currently only has an heir to the throne of Angkasa Group. Obstacles he is ready to go through to realize his wish. Agasa reached for the cell phone that he had placed on the nightstand, his knuckles looking for someone's contact.

Then he brought the flat object to his ear, but unfortunately the man who had entered the age of 46 had to swallow his disappointment. Those called did not answer Agasa's calls even though he had been called three times.

Yes, the person Agasa is contacting is Ayu. Until the fifth call, Agasa's phone had not been answered by Ayu. Before leaving for dreamland, Agasa first sent a short message to Ayu.

[Ayu, it's me Agasa, your Daddy's friend] SEND

Agasa thinks that Ayu doesn't answer her phone because she hasn't shaved her legal advisor's contact.
