RICH MAN
GRATUITOUS
A few days since Damar asked permission to leave. Azka felt very lonely in the office. No more nosy friends always prank her. But it was only three days. He missed Rey too.
After the secretary delivers the food. Azka immediately ate the food alone. With his status as a one-child widower. His life became much more messy than before. After work, he was always welcomed by Nagita, despite the cold war. But the woman always tried to calm herself even though sometimes ignored. But never looking for trouble with him.
Passion to work began to recede. If he was too busy with his work. Not with now. Now he misses where Rey always protests. Right now the boy is out of nowhere. Even yesterday he went to visit his son to Dimas' house. But the place is very quiet. The house where she used to live with Nagita when she was pregnant with Reynand.
Azka then changed her sitting position which is now leaning on the back of her work chair. Sometimes he takes a deep breath to calm down. But still his longing for Rey was inevitable.
“Clean my workspace. If anyone's looking, just tell me I'm home!” He rushed home. This time he'll be looking for Rey again to Dimas' place. Hoping that he could meet Reynand, as well as Nagita. His longing for the woman was as if it could no longer be controlled. He who has doubled his wife, he who has dropped talak at that time. Given how stupid he made Nagita cry when he divorced, it made Azka regret until now.
At Dimas' house. Still, he did not meet the occupants of the house. He sat on the front porch of Dimas' house and a mother approached him there.
“Who to find, Sir?”
“Nagita equals Rey to where?”
“Oh Her Papa Rey huh?”
“Iya my Papa. Where are they going? Dimas is also not at home like,”
“Dimas honeymoon anyway he said. If Nagita is with Rey I don't know,”
“Dimas honeymoon?”
“Yes, just a few days ago she married,”
“No news about, Nagita?”
“Not a pack,”
“What could they possibly come with?”
“I guess not, sir. But at that time Rey was often invited out with the same omnya. Sister Nagita too,”
“Om? Rey is Dimas,” he replied.
“If that's the case I don't know, sir. But try on the phone. Who knows what they are again somewhere,”
“Where to honeymoon destinations?”
“He said to, Bali,”
“Oh. Thank you then. Excuse me, Ms.”
Azka immediately got up from her seat and just went home. He came home with a very slow step because he could not see Rey again. Just a few steps into his house. He was greeted by Leo who immediately hugged him. Seeing the boy, he misses Rey even more. Usually his son is the noisiest in the house. But now there is only the sound of laughter Leo and Clara who fill the house.
“You tumben home fast?” ask Novi.
“Capek aja, Ma,”
“You shower gih!”
Azka immediately went to her room to clean up.
After bathing, he immediately slept to rest himself because he was tired of working.His heart was getting worse and worse. One by one the people he loved left. It was she who made Nagita go away from her life. All this time he had made the woman very hurt by his behavior. Since the presence of Deana that time made him recall the past. Now Azka regretted her actions that could not forget the woman. Even then Deana almost killed her baby and Nagita. But after all he was blinded by his stupidity that loved the woman too much. Although there was Nagita in his life. He betrayed and hurt his wife.
“Nagita. Deana, why one by one just go, especially you Nagita. Why is it that when you are here, I feel your anxiety and pain. Now that you're gone, it's my heart that hurts, I feel so lost to you, Nagita.”
All his regrets are meaningless. Not all mistakes are given a second chance to correct. Some even give the opportunity to make someone realize how valuable people present in life to be loved. Not to be wasted.

That night showed at eight o'clock. Azka woke up with her ship feeling very sick.she rushed to the bathroom to wash her face and went down to dinner because her stomach felt very empty.
“Azka, Mama woke up from earlier you did not even wake up,”
“I'm hungry, Ma.”
“Ya ate first. Mama has prepared dinner for you.”
Azka ate her food alone. After that, he went back to his room. He grabbed a cell phone that was on the nightstand to surf in cyberspace.
He took a peek at Nagita's Instagram social media accounts. There he found no more pictures with Reynand. Nagita's social media accounts are always filled with photos of the three of them now only leave a picture of Nagita and Rey.
I also saw some of the posts he shared. There is only a photo of Nagita, which he deliberately posted because he saw Nagita's appearance at that time was very beautiful. The only picture of Nagita that he had was when Nagita was pregnant and was in a shopping mall when eating that time.
Azka directly pressed the search menu. He immediately focused on one of the posts that there appeared to be Rey hugged by Nagita was on the beach.
He immediately clicked on the photo and the one who posted was Nagita using a new account. There it also appears that there is a Damar marked in the photo. What it means is that the three of them are on vacation together. When opening the Damar profile he also found a photo of Nagita and Rey with the caption ‘the world is too cruel if used as a place to hurt. And his heart is too cruel to make you cry, God sent you for me, didn't he?’
Azka immediately growled when she saw a photo of Nagita posted by Damar.
Nagita22_ Wow cool. That's a great picture (^o^)
Damar.dnr Surely dong. Don't like?
Nagita22_ really likes. If you can send yes
Azka wanted to write because she wanted to comment. But he abandoned his intention of not wanting to mess things up again.
Azka came down from her room to get some water. “Rey holidays with Nagita. I'm so grateful Nagita can be that happy.” Naura. Azka immediately turned around and locked herself in the room. Even her own family supported her divorce with Nagita and focused more on Nagita and Rey than her.
Return to room. Without hesitation he contacted Nagita to ask about Rey's whereabouts. Several times trying to contact through video calls were finally answered as well.
“Daddy?”
“Rey, why haven't you slept?”
“Kan Daddy the phone,”
“Mommy where?”
“Nih,”
Azka sees Rey pointing the camera at Nagita. There was only one word that represented his feelings this time, which was ‘rindu’ to his little family. When Nagita so great gave him a chance. He has so badly ruined his own wife's trust that Nagita has not answered his phone again. But after trying for a while his call was finally answered, even if it was only with Rey.
”Rey where?”
“Rey holiday, Daddy,”
“Mama and Om Damar,”
“Air?”
“Iya, Daddy. Daddy's been busy,”
“Rey, come home tomorrow Daddy pick up?”
“Rey doesn't want to be with Daddy. Daddy often makes Mommy cry, better Daddy take care of Daddy's work. Rey is happy with Mommy and Om Dimas. Plus now there is Om Damar who is always there for Rey, not busy like Daddy,”
Azka was speechless at the answer of her son who was very slender. Even he felt sad when he could not accompany his son to grow into a child in general. His guilt may be forgiven. But to come back again it never will.
“Rey who is talking to you? Sleep yuk, it's late at night. Tomorrow play again,”
“This is Daddy's phone, Mommy,”
The awkward atmosphere was just like that when Nagita took over her phone and was heard at that moment Nagita told Rey to sleep and was immediately followed by her son. Azka felt very foreign now.
”What's up, Mas?”
Missing, is a heart language that is very difficult to express. Even free to express if not met directly. Azka was lying down and they looked at each other through a video call. Nagita is so missed. But he realized that his mistake was already too fatal and asking to come back again it felt impossible if he could only hurt the woman.
“How are you, Nagita?”
“Good.”
Nagita who covered her body with a blanket only showed her face and her lips covered with blankets.
“Rey sleep?”
“Iya looks like she's sleeping. Why?”
“Can I meet?”
“When?”
“Perhaps tomorrow,”
“Don't promise Rey to meet if you're always busy. He is tired of being given hope to you, every time you promise to meet him, it is always void. And that's what's sickened him now, ever since he split up. Have you ever visited your own child? Have you ever just greeted him?”
Azka was cornered by Nagita's words. Even then he saw the woman was trying hard. And Azka this time really felt her heart was already enveloped by the guilt on the two people.
“I close yes. I'm sleeping,”
“Nagita, briefly!”
“What else?”
“Do you have any relationship with Damar?”
“Not your business”
“That's my business Nagita. Because you are, is—“
“Mantan, Azka. It is no longer the woman you are fooling. Yes, I want to sleep. Good night.”
Nagita is right, that their relationship status is only limited to ex-husband and wife. And that's what made Azka feel so devastated right now. It is true that at that time he had promised to meet with Rey. But he always had obstacles. He even heard his own son protest about his busy life who never took time for Reynand.
Now he realized that all this time he was too busy in looking for money, money and money. Forgetting that his property is family. Forget about educating Rey along with Nagita. Despite being separated, he should still be on good terms with Nagita. Not just making a mess anymore.
“Azka!”
Azka immediately got out of her bed and went straight to the source of the sound. He opened the door of his room and found his mother standing at the door.
“What's up, Ma?”
“Come to Rey's house tomorrow!”
“They're vacation, Ma,”
“You know?”
“Iya. I just called Nagita,”
“Not that Mama does not agree you are back with Nagita. But it would be better not to disturb his life again he who has tried hard to treat his wounds because of you. Not that Mama is against you. But Azka, it's enough of her injuries that you love her,”
“Ma, I just found out Rey,”
“Directly, you also disturb Nagita's life. If you want to be on good terms with him, go to him. Anyway well. One day you will have your own life. One message Mama, never come back, Azka. I don't want to see Nagita's tears anymore. As a woman Mama also knows how her pain in her heart,”
“I just wanted to apologize,”
“Sorry he might understand. But not all sorry to get it all back. What does it mean that he was the same as you all this time? What if your heart is with someone else? This time please, Azka. Mama beg you, stop bothering her in any way.Give her the freedom to be happy. He's already the ex of the man who was once so valuable in your life. Now look at Rey, try to get her to reconcile to educate Rey together. Even though later you or he have a new life, at least never make Rey feel alien between the lives of the two of you.”
Azka nodded and immediately said goodbye to her mother. He knew that it was his mother who had deliberately lured him to discuss Rey. Because it's not the first time his mother has defended Nagita. During this time also Naura very sorry for her who released Nagita. But he couldn't do much after that. The woman became very foreign. It's Rey's 6th birthday. That means he must really try to make peace with Nagita so that there is no hatred in the heart of his son.
He took his phone back. And get the message.
‘Please don't disturb my life with Rey. He was happy with me. Never try to see him again. And one more thing, I'm sorry for all your behavior. But I ask you please don't come again’
Azka reading that instantly smiled. That means Nagita will really let go of herself. He will not interfere with her life anymore as he said in the message. Azka promised to go as far away from her life as possible. But as for Rey, she will never be far from her son. Although he had wanted to abort Rey, but now his heart has already lost his son.
Azka looked at the ceiling of her room. “It turns out it's really over, huh?” he said with a clean sliver. What he had once defended must have really ended then and there. And it should never interfere with Nagita's life again. It was enough that Azka broke Nagita's heart while guarding his wife.
“I will strive to sincerely you, Nagita.” Sluggishly.
