"Sweet Bride, Vevina & Luke Story"
9. Cut puzzle
Luke sat quietly in the car until midnight, until the sound of his cell phone rang loudly in the silence of the night around him. Luke ignores her, he knows who's calling him and he's in no mood to make the call that's coming back to his phone, he prefers to turn off his smartphone with the aim that no one interferes or even tracks his whereabouts now.
Luke leaned his head against the back of his car's steering chair, his mind now filled with his memory with his mother when he was a child, currently, Luke's memory is twisting the memory of the mother who is a very beautiful mother. All she knew was that the mother was so affectionate with her tenderness and great love for her, the warm embrace of the mother is the greatest strength for her when she fell and was crushed by the bully she received when she was a child.
Luke is still at home staring at the house from behind the glass of his car, there is a piece of memory that comes to mind where the nanny tells the story as the mother struggles to turn her into the world, he was born prematurely because he had to be born at the gestational age of the new mother 7 months, and the mother had to go through the operation alone without a husband who accompanied there was only the art that was considered worthy of his brother who accompanied and cared for the mother and also the baby who was still red where to be treated and stay in the hospital right in the room NICU* for 3 weeks long.
The house is a witness where Luke grew from a red baby who was born prematurely so he can grow healthy and strong to run fast playing in the yard of the house, it was in that house that Luke spent the good times of his life with his mother.
Luke smiled with tears still faithfully flowing, he closed his eyes trying to calm himself which began to tremble. Luke threw his breath rough as if his burden was wasted, he sighed almost screaming to release the heavy feeling that squeezed his chest.
But as his self attempts to calm down and control his unstable emotions, suddenly as intense as the memory of the memories in which Luke gets his trauma comes to mind his deep trauma to the father which when going home there will definitely be a fight with the mother and make the mother who he knows meekly can scream hysterically even to the point of raging destroy anything near her, once one night Luke who could not sleep for fear of nightmares again came out of his room was about to go to the mother's room to be able to sleep there as usual when Luke was aged it's only been seven years. As he opened the door to his mother's room, Luke heard and peeked out of the doorway that was not tightly closed when the mother and father were fighting. At that time the father threw the body of the mother on the bed then slapped hard on the cheek of the mother where there was blood on the corner of the lips of the mother and heard crying from the mother after her. Luke who witnessed it instantly trembled and was afraid, she fell to her floor in a sitting position while closing her eyes then slowly crawled back to her room because her legs felt weak to be able to walk. It was the first time Luke witnessed violence, after avidly having to see and hear the quarrels and hysterical screams that echoed from inside the mother's room when the father returned home.
Then the memory when Luke was 10 years old suddenly flashed in Luke's memory, Luke, at that time Luke accidentally saw the mother's hand covered in blood with a knife in his hand sitting limp in front of the father's body lying in front of him in the guest room of their house. The smiling mother realized Luke was looking at her there as if nothing had happened, the art who also doubles as his nanny who sees the trembling Luke swiftly pulls Luke and brings him to the backyard to be soothed and hidden. Before long Luke saw from a distance there were some people coming to take the father away and there was also a woman who faced the mother, who was, the woman was seen screaming hysterically and slapped the mother's face hard until the mother fell down in her sitting.
All of those memories were recorded faintly appearing in Luke's current memory like scattered puzzle pieces, many incomplete pieces of memory sprang from the memory of the beautiful memories with the mother until the time when the trauma began but all these memories did not come as a whole. Luke again squeezed his hair and banged his back head several times onto the back of his car's steering chair, this was done by Luke to reduce the pain in his head due to the trauma that returned a relapse which was also accompanied by his body that this time vibrated violently, which was very strong, the breath that began to sting also tears that did not stop flowing since earlier which made him lose consciousness shortly after.
Elsewhere, Anna is agitated and visibly frustrated by Luke's inaccessibility. After that, he was contacted by some of his confidants who were assigned to always supervise and follow Luke everywhere, they report losing track of Luke because the GPS from his smartphone and car have been turned off. Those who had followed Luke on the road were not able to catch up with Luke's car which was above average speed because if this they were chasing at the same speed it would be very dangerous for other road users and they themselves certainly.
"Hey... What's the matter, why are you such a fidget huh?" Jack pulled Anna into his arms.
"Luke.. She couldn't be reached from earlier, I'm afraid something bad happened to her." Anna was crying in Jack's arms.⁹
Vina and Yuna who were there looked at each other, they knew Anna was not the type of girl who easily cried like this. Anna cries in the arms of the lover, Jack and Yuna try to calm Anna while Vina herself does not understand why her heart feels sad and very worried about Luke who is now somehow her fate.
Once Anna can be calmed down, jack asks his sister and yuna to go back to the room and bring anna to rest after he promises her tomorrow morning that he will help find Luke's whereabouts. Jack did not understand why Anna was so scared to tears, Jack tried to think positively Luke could just want to be alone without anyone disturbing and know where he is now. Maybe want to get away from the shadows of his work maybe, well Jack just try to think positively.
While in their parents' room, now David's father is sitting on the bed with his body propped up on the headboard, David's father is sitting on the bed with his body propped up on the headboard, mamah Laura who had slept again opened her eyes and also sat down while hugging her husband.
"What is Dad thinking?" Mom asked Laura while playing her fingers on her husband's chest.
Before long there was a sobbing of the wife who was soft, David's father hugged the wife and silent no longer spoke. He knows there is a deep wound because the guilt is still wide open in the heart of the wife until now still haunting her.
"I'm sorry dear father, I didn't mean to make you sad." Pestering David's father by still hugging his wife and rubbing his wife's back gently.
"Then let's go to sleep, don't think anymore. It's been a long time, baby, our hope they've calmed down now. We can only pray for them, may all be well and all we have to pay attention to now is the happiness of our children." Entertain David's father who was answered a slow nod by mamah Laura.
