A Couple of Ex
42

POV Stella

Divorce, is a frightening specter, anyone would not want to experience it, especially women, the bad stigma of society makes the status of widows feel more terrible.

If we widows are married to former husbands, then people do not hesitate to dub us actors, but if husbands are frenetic when they see widows, people will dub us as seductive women.

Thank goodness I have never experienced it, it is worth being grateful for, because I live in a country that is not too nosy to think about the status of someone's widow.

The one thing I regret most is that I left one of my children to save the other, could it be just me? mommy who is so heartfelt left a very dear baby.

The hard day I spent without one of my sons, even the sound of hysterical crying often visited my night dreams, the cry was so slashing my heart, my chest felt tight every time the longing approached.

I spent my dark day without Kevin in my arms, as longing cramped my feelings, I tormented myself with the heaviness of activity, until my body could no longer feel the pain of longing, he said, I could even do 5 operations a day, something that felt tough to my colleagues, but I was able to get through it well, so I could finish my education quickly.

My heart was torn again by the pain of longing, when 7 years ago, I was standing in the operating room with my ex-husband as his patient, the work that I should have been able to do in a short time became longer because I was trying my best to keep my heart pounding ever more crazily, and my hands were shaking throughout the operation.

That's one of the reasons I never came back to Indonesia to see Kevin, even though my longing for him was so great, but I survived because my heart was not ready, not ready to go back to meet Alex's brother, the father of my son, he who may now be happy with his new wife and family, while I can't even forget my ex-husband, heh it's really sad for me.

And now that Kevin was in my presence, it made me feel that God was giving me a hard slap, that even legally immature Kevin dared to come in front of me, for the sake of being able to meet someone he had never met before, he must have fought his fears, then what about me? who can't even muster the guts, Kevin came alone to a foreign country without adults on his side, I really feel bad in front of my son.

It was still clear in my memory, when he first looked at me, his eyes sparkling happily, his arms long, very tight and warm I felt, I was grateful he did not hate me as I had feared all along, he even seemed to stick to me, whenever he got the chance.

With my hands still trembling, I opened the blanket that covered his body, my tears came back, staring at his body which was now filled with a reddish rash, Kevin must have drunk the chocolate milk for fear of his disguise being exposed, Kevin must have been drinking, he even willingly fainted because his body could not tolerate the chocolate that entered his throat, his face that always smiled widely while looking at me, now looks lethargic with oxygen hose attached to his respiratory tract, back I shed my tears, I don't even care if there are a lot of pairs of eyes watching me.

...✨✨✨...

"I've given him antihistamines, to relieve his allergic reaction." 

"Thank you doctor Jimmy." Stella replied softly, after more than 30 minutes of crying, her voice was soft.

"Hopefully your son can be sure of you soon doc." Doctor Jimmy hopes wholeheartedly, for so long he knows doctor Risa, only this time he saw doctor Risa in a really bad condition, doctor Jimmy never even saw doctor Risa cry, Risa's crying, she was like a tough woman without burden, but now who would have thought she was suddenly destroyed, because she saw her son fainted from drinking chocolate milk, "so is there anything you want to tell me doc?" Ask Jimmy's doctor.

"He's not Andre" Stella replied briefly.

Doctor Jimmy has not been aware of the words of doctor Risa, "dok mean?" 

"He's Kevin, Andre's twin brother." 

Doctor Jimmy looked at Stella and Kevin alternately, surprise once, today Risa's doctor gave her a surprise. "So? You mean, you didn't realize they were swapping?"

Stella smiled blankly, "Well that's how it is, I must be a very bad mommy right? I left him with my ex-husband, and now he's in front of me, instead of welcoming him happily, I just don't know him, even make him wretched." 

"You're not mistaken doc, please don't blame yourself like this, I'm sure your son will understand your situation." Jimmy tried to cheer Stella up. "Rest Doc, you must be tired, we'll stay here, monitor Kevin's condition." 

"No, you rest, I'll accompany her tonight, this is a punishment for me, for being such a bad mommy." 

Jimmy's doctor left without saying anything else, not wanting to hear Stella blame herself.

Until the morning, Stella was still on Kevin's bedside, only the difference was that he was now asleep with Kevin's hands in his hands, the woman who almost never claimed to be tired was exhausted in front of her son, her body felt very tired to run back to find a hiding place. 

At 06:00 local time.

Finally Kevin opened his eyes, his breathing began to normal, but his tongue and throat still felt uncomfortable, 'where am I?' her question in her heart, slowly she remembered the last thing she did, 'ahh yes, milk chocolate, I deserve to end here' she said when she managed to remember what happened, 'oh no. .. mommy, what about mommy, where's mommy?' panicked Kevin made his hands and feet move until he woke Stella.

Stella who felt movement around her, immediately opened her eyes, she sat up straight looking at Kevin who had also been weeping from her stupor, happy tears flowing down her cheeks, she said, her heart was now in immeasurable gratitude, seeing Kevin regaining consciousness, Stella bowed in order to hug Kevin, her cries spilling back as they hugged.

Stella parsed her embrace, she wiped the tears that drenched Kevin's face with her gentle touch. "Mom .. I'm sorry." Said Kevin.

Stella shook her head softly, "why should I apologize?" 

"Please promise me mommy won't scold me." Pinta Kevin's.

Stella nodded.

"I'm sorry for making such a mess, sorry that we had to change places, but .. "Kevin seemed hesitant when he wanted to continue his sentence.

"But what ... hmmm?" Stella awaits the continuation of Kevin's sentence.

"it's all because I miss you mom." Kevin said sincerely, his tears dripping back.
