A Piece of Asa In A Taste
Doubt

"Kai, answer! What's up?" ask Andra in a louder voice.

"Mas!" call Ella.

Kairi rubbed her face roughly, wiping away the sweat spots that drenched her forehead and temples.

"Bylla's accident." Kairi said very slowly, almost like a whisper.

"A.what!" ella shouted while covering her mouth.

"Then how is he doing now?" ask Ella quickly.

"He's in a coma, Mama said, the wound is quite severe," Kairi replied in a soft voice.

"No, this is impossible! Why is it like this!" ella said while crying. He was sitting on the floor of the hospital.

His youngest son had a severe illness, and is now critical. Then his eldest son was in an accident, and now in a coma. Why do trials come so long, why do storms come again, when the old storm has not passed.

"Oh my God, why does it have to be like this. Why should my children," wailed Ella while covering her face with both hands.

"Honey already, don't cry like this!" kairi calms his wife.

"I can't stand it, Mom. My two children are struggling between life and death, what should I do now, Mas? Tell me if all this is just a dream, Mas!" ella continued to cry.

"Dear, relax! I know it's hard, but it's a trial baby, we should be able to get through it" Kairi said, hugging Ella.

A few minutes later, Ella's cry had subsided, and now she was calmer as well. Kairi let go of his embrace, and looked into his wife's eyes fixedly.

"I'm going home, you stay here with Mika! Let me accompany Bylla. Now we have to tell Mika what really happened. Bylla's gonna get sadder, if we keep it to ourselves." Kairi said firmly.

"Okay, that seems like the best way. I really wanted to see Bylla, but there's no way I'm leaving Mika." Ella.

"Wish that Bylla's condition is fine, and hopefully Mika will also recover soon. That way, we can gather together," Kairi said with a smile.

"Amiin, I hope so too." Ella Sahut.

"Kai, I'll come with you!" andra sela.

"Me too, Om!" timpal Keyvand's.

"Ndra, you stay here, accompany Mika! Enough Keyvand coming with me. I can't bear to leave Ella and Saints alone" Kairi said as she looked at Andra.

"But Kai."

"There's already Mama and Papa, while here, there's only you, Suci, and Ella. Stay here, Ndra!" kairi.

"All right!" andra replied with a long sigh. He relented, and obeyed the words of Kairi.

That same afternoon, Kairi and Keyvand went to the airport. They will fly to Indonesia soon.

***

At 08:00 am Indonesian time. Mr. Louis, Leon, Ms. Halimah, and Reymond, they sat together in the waiting chair, in front of the IGD room. The doctor just told me that Bylla was conscious of her stupor. And now, Miss Mirna is looking inside.

Among them, no one opened their voice. All were silent, and were swept away in each other's minds. Reymond lowered his head, his heart restless and agitated. The woman, who was to be married for six days, was now lying in pain. How will the wedding be?

Shortly after, the door of the room opened. Ms. Mirna put her foot forward while wiping the corner of her wet eyes.

"How's Bylla doing, Mom?" ask Ms. Halimah, Ella's birth mother.

"The situation has improved, but it's also bad." Miss Mirna replied slowly.

"Ofra, Opa!" call Reymond.

"May I go see him?" reymond asked as he looked at Ms. Mirna, and Mr. Louis in turn.

"Please!" said Mr. Louis.

"Thank you, Opa," Reymond replied as he walked over. He walked to the bed where his beloved was.

A few seconds later, Reymond arrived near Bylla. He sat next to her, holding her fingers.

Scars of glass seemed to fill his cheeks and forehead. And not only that, his hands were also filled with scratches, and bruises. Reymond looked at him while biting his lips, his heart sliced with pain gazing at the body of the lover who was extremely apprehensive.

"My body hurts all, Rey." Say Bylla slowly.

"And..." Then Bylla hung up her sentence.

"And, what?" ask Reymond.

"My feet, my feet can't move. I can't walk, Rey!" bylla answered while shedding her tears.

"Bylla, baby already! Don't cry, you're patient, you'll be healed!" reymond said, wiping off Bylla's tears.

"No, Rey, no!" bylla was getting sobbing.

"Miss Bylla, please don't cry! Do not think too hard, so that your condition can improve quickly!" the doctor said as he stepped closer to Bylla and Reymond.

"But my leg, Doctor!" Bylla continued to cry.

"What's wrong with his leg, Doctor?" ask Reymond. He thought that Bylla's leg was injured, and it hurt when moved. But now, he thought more than that.

"Miss Bylla had an injury to her spinal nerves, and it caused paralysis in both her legs." Answer Doctor.

"Cripple, is it permanent?" ask Reymond.

"Actually no, but judging from his injury, it took a very long time to make him recover as before." Answer Doctor.

"Will it be a year?" Reymond asked again.

The doctor let out a long sigh, before answering Reymond's question.

"More. Fastest about three years, and no later than five."

"Five years?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"I can't walk anymore Rey, I don't want to be like this!" lamented Bylla.

"Miss Bylla, calm down! It's not permanent. It takes a long time, but there is hope to heal as before. Think positive, and try to fight the pain of your whack. Thus, the chances of recovery will be greater," said the doctor at length.

"But Doctor, I don't want to be like this!" yell Bylla.

"Bylla, calm down. Pray and be assured, you will be healed. I know it's very heavy, but you're a great woman. You can, yes!" reymond said, holding both of Bylla's hands.

Then he rubbed his hair gently, and calmed his distraught lover.

"Why is it all like this, Rey?"

"It's a test, baby. You are patient!" reymond replied while staring at the blue bead in Bylla's eyes.

"I imagine that I'm claustrophobic, sitting in a wheelchair, and I can't walk anywhere. I don't want to, Rey!" bylla said, the clear circle is getting divorced from the corner of her eye.

"Everyone doesn't want Bylla either, but what's called a test, which is destiny, we can't fight it. Be patient, be sure you will be healed!" reymond said with a smile.

"But Rey."

"You must be excited, yes!"

For a long time Bylla was silent, not knowing what to answer. Then, he began to open his voice.

"Rey, what about our wedding that's only a few days away? Are we putting it off, or..."

"Bylla, don't think much, it's not good for your current condition." Reymond before Bylla could continue his sentence.

"Married, I'll think about it Bylla. I do love you, even love you so much, but as the only son in the Jackson family, I also need a perfect companion. Even if you were a princess in the Da Vinci family, but with your current state, I would think twice. I am not a man who only deifies love, I also like to prioritize logic. I love you, but reputation is everything to me. While waiting for your condition to improve, I will think about this carefully." Reymond's heart in his heart.
