ANTIQUE NURSE
Season 2: Certainty
Still overwhelmed with sadness and anger, Yuni's mother approached Dilara who was still glued to her place. The girl is still sobbing. With angry eyes, Yuni's mother raised her hand and
PLAQUE!!!
Dilara looked at Yuni's mother while holding her cheek that was hit by a slap. Really, he did not expect the woman to vent disappointment, sadness and anger on him.
“Tante... what's my fault?”
“How dare you ask like that! Because of you, Yuni died!”
“What does aunt mean? I wasn't with Yuni when the accident happened.”
“But he's riding your car! I know you're the son of Jovan Romano. Your father must have had a lot of enemies. Someone must've wrecked your car and wanted to make you wretch. But why should my son!!”
“Sorry aunt.. my papa is not a bad person and has no enemies. What happened to Yuni, purely by accident.”
“Still to deny? You brat!!”
Yuni's mother again wanted to slap Dilara, but this time the woman could not do it. A hand restrained her wrist, then with a little hard she pushed as she let go of Yuni's mother's hand. Her husband who was talking to the nurse immediately approached in shock.
“Please take care of mother's attitude. I shouldn't have vented anger at Dila. She's innocent.”
“He who has made my son wretched!!” yuni's thumb finger pointed at Dilara.
“Mother, Istighhfar. Don't be like this,” the husband reminds him.
“Not Dila who drives a car and I can make sure there is no sabotage on Dila's car. Accidents happen because of human error. I warn you, do not just accuse without evidence. This time I forgive you for remembering that my mother was grieving. But once again I heard my mother say rude let alone to slap Dila, I will not stay silent.”
Pulling Dilara's hand, Ezra took her lover away from there. Dilara's eyes continued to look at her hand held by Ezra. There is a sense of need to see the beloved heart defending himself. Ezra continued to take Dilara to a quiet place and sat the girl in the chair.
“You have nothing?” ezra asked as he sat down beside Dilara. The girl just nodded her head.
“Sick?” he continued while rubbing Dilara's cheek.
Dilara's tears are unstoppable getting sweet treatment from her lover. Ezra pulled the girl into his arms. Last night when Barra said Dilara had an accident, Ezra immediately decided to return to Bandung that night. And just now shubuh reached the homeland. She immediately rushed to the hospital, to see the state of her lover.
“Sorry I didn't contact you in Phuket. My HP was left behind in the Jakarta office. Yesterday I called Viren's phone, but your phone is dead. I'm worried Dil. Please don't make me anxious again.”
“Sorry.. ka..” replied Dila on the sidelines of her crying.
Ezra broke his embrace, the removal of the tears that were still soaking Dilara's face. Eye bags were visible there, because the girl had not slept all night.
“Go home, yes.”
“I want to see Yuni first for last.”
“Alright.. come.”.
Ezra takes Dilara back to the ICU waiting room. It appears there that the two parents were talking to police officers who deliberately came to see the state of Yuni. Ezra immediately approached the officer. Dilara stood behind Ezra, as Yuni's mother continued to look with eyes full of anger.
“What's the investigation done, sir?” ask Ezra.
“Iya. based on the results of cctv monitoring in Blue Moon and all the way to TKP, we concluded that the accident occurred due to human error. There was no damage to the engine, everything is in good condition. The three victims left the club drunk. And based on the camera footage that is in the car, there is negligence of the driver when driving to cause an accident to occur. According to the results of the doctor's examination, there is an alcohol content in the body of the victim as much as 20%. We are still waiting for the condition of brothers Yogi and Intan to recover, before conducting the examination process. Brother Yogi himself is currently official as a suspect of negligence in driving to cause passengers to lose their lives.”
The explanation at length police officers suddenly made the body of Yuni's mother lunglai. The husband quickly grabbed the woman's body and took her to a chair. Unable to see the state of the woman, Dilara headed to the vending machine and took mineral water from it. Then the girl walked over to Yuni's mother.
“Tante.. drink first.”
Dilara put a bottle of mineral water in her hand. Seeing no reaction from his wife, Yuni's father took it. He opened the bottle and gave it to his wife. Only a sip of water can enter the woman's esophagus. Hearing the police officer's explanation, made him so devastated.
“I'm so sorry, aunt. Hopefully Yuni can rest in peace.”
“What will happen to him. In the last moments of his life, he instead consumed the illicit goods,” mutter mother Yuni with tears flowing. Dilara straightened her body slightly then hugged the woman.
“Sabar aunt. May Allah forgive his sins and be given the best place by His side.”
The cry of Yuni's mother was increasingly broken hearing Dilara's words. The girl he had accused and slapped was still willing to sincerely pray for her son. The woman hugged Dilara's back. Ezra just watched from where he stood. It's not wrong for her to choose a life partner, a good child and her heart is so soft. He can still be nice to the woman who has hurt him.
“I'm sorry about, son. Sorry aunt got carried away with emotion earlier.”
“Nothing, aunt.”
Yuni's mother unraveled her embrace then rubbed Dilara's cheek which she slapped. There's still a little red in there. A look of regret appeared in the middle-aged woman's eyes. Out of sadness and emotion, she vents it out on the wrong person.
A nurse approached them and said Yuni's body was ready to be brought home. Aided by her husband, Yuni's mother stood up and walked to the ICU entrance. Ezra embraces Dilara's shoulder, guiding the girl towards the door. Before long the door opened, a nurse pushed the blankar with Yuni's body covered in white cloth. The cry of Yuni's mother immediately broke seeing the condition of her son. He continues to follow the nurse who brought Yuni's body to be put in the ambulance.
☘️☘️☘️
Yuni's funeral was solemn. Family, neighbors in his residence and friends sekampusnya also deliver Yuni to his final resting place. Genta was also present there. The young man seemed to be crying, because only last night he met and joked with his friend.
Ezra didn't take his arms off Dilara. The girl since entering the cemetery continued to cry. Watching Yuni's body wrapped in a shroud slowly being inserted into the burrow, increasingly making her tears pour out.
After the 1x2-sized hole was perfectly covered by the ground and sprinkled with flowers, joined by a string of prayers for the deceased, all of whom delivered Yuni's remains, one by one left the burial area. Only Yuni's family and close friends remain, including Dilara.
With puffy eyes, he continued to look towards the wooden tombstone that was stuck on the red ground. The name of her friend, Yuni Kharisma, was written there. It was still unbelievable, a friend he had known since he first set foot on campus, had now left him for good.
“We go home now,” take Ezra. Dilara just nodded her head. He then walked up to the two Yuni parents to say goodbye. Afterwards the girl exited the burial area with Ezra continuing to hug her waist.
There was no talk at all while the two were on their way home. Dilara still faithfully clenched her mouth. After Yuni's funeral, her thoughts turned to Hanum. The woman's words yesterday came back to her ears. A feeling of fear that was forgotten because of the accident incident came back.
Due to daydreaming, Dilara did not realize that the car driven by her lover had arrived in front of Jojo's residence. The girl was stung when Ezra opened her seat belt link.
“It's up.”
“Eh. yes, sis.”
Dilara opened the door and then got off the four-wheeled vehicle. For a moment Ezra was silent in his place, watching Dilara who entered the house like a daze. The man got out of the car and rushed after his girlfriend.
Arriving in the room, Dilara immediately sat himself in bed. His mind was still wandering somewhere, until he finally realized when he felt the movement beside him. Ezra, who followed him into the room, sat himself by his side. The man grabbed Dilara's hand and cupped with both hands.
“What's up? Are you still sad about Yuni?” just bobbing Dilara's head in response to the question.
“Then why? You daydream a lot earlier.”
Dilara watched Ezra's hand cupping her hand, then her gaze shifted to the lover's netra. His feelings were even more upset if he remembered Hanum's determination to snatch this man beside him.
“Hmm.”
“Can I ask you something?”
“What's the problem?”
“Hanum.”
Ezra was stunned to hear Dilara's words. Seeing Ezra who did not react to anything, it made the girl feel uneasy.
“Several days Brother Hanum always invites me to meet. And yesterday I met him. He said he wanted to go back to his brother. He also invited me to compete healthily for big brother.”
Dilara stopped her speech for a moment. Inhaled as much oxygen to fill his lung cavity. Ezra remained silent, letting the lover reveal what was in his heart.
“I.. don't want to wait too long for answers from brother. I want you to answer it now. Will brother come back to brother Hanum or stay with me?”
“We'll talk about this later, after you feel calm. You are still in shock with today's incident. You better rest first.”
“Ngga wants! I want to hear the answer now. I am saddened by Yuni's death. Plus another bad news is also nothing. Let the pain and the crying also be ripped, not repaid. Crying also needs energy, brother. So just answer now, let's cry all of you, capenya also all of you.”
Ezra smiled at the tweet of his lover. His hand moved rubbing the top of the girl's head. But Dilara immediately avoided it. He kept Ezra's hand away from his head then stared fixedly at the handsome face in front of him.
“My answer, sis.”
“I don't want to answer.”
“Selfoist brother. Answer now, choose me or brother Hanum.”
“Ngga mau.”
“Why?”
“Because from the beginning I've chosen you. Why do I answer your question again.”
“But that was before the arrival of Brother Hanum. Now he has come and wants to go back to his brother. Now my sister has a choice. Me or mmppphh.”
Dilara's sentence was cut off when Ezra silenced the lips that were spouting too many words. Gently the man mel*mat the thin lips he had just kissed. The shocked Dilara remained silent, until Ezra ended her kiss.
“I don't care if Hanum comes back or not. All I have in my heart is you. He is the past, and you are the future. I live for the future, not the past. Is my answer clear?”
Still shocked by what happened, Dilara just nodded her head slowly. Ezra brought his face closer and did the same. With a slow motion she clenched and mel*mat Dilara's lips. Guided the girl to return her kiss. Dilara's eyes closed and began to follow the furrow of their lips.
Slowly Ezra released her lip link with a gentle sip on Dilara's lower lip. Both of her hands then cupped a pretty face that was covered in a veil in her eyes.
“You marry me?”
“Mau.. but said brother wait for me to finish college.”
“I changed my mind. We get married soon, so I can be with you at graduation.”
“Kakak sure? What about Brother Hanum?”
“Don't call him again. I told you he's just the past. Or do you want me to go back to him?”
Dilara quickly shook her head. Ezra chuckled at him, his hand then pulled the head of the lover leaning against his chest.
“I love you, Dila. Not Hanum or any other woman, just you. So throw away all your bad thoughts. Believe our destiny, I love you.”
“Kok rich song lyrics?”
“Emang hehehe..”.
“Ish..”
Dilara pushes Ezra's chest away while keeping her head away. Ezra tidied the girl's hair a little messy because of her actions. Then he laid Dilara on the bed. The man leaned his body slightly towards the lover.
“Now sleeping. Don't think of anything else, hmm.”
“Iya.”
“I'm home.”
Ezra kissed the lover's forehead and eyelids alternately. Dilara closed her eyes. His face could now smile again. Ezra gently rubbed the top of Dilara's head, then walked out of the room.
After saying goodbye to Adinda, Ezra immediately went out of the house and headed for his vehicle. He was just about to get in the car when his phone rang. On the screen of his phone was an unknown number calling. The man's finger pressed the green icon to answer the call.
“Halo.”
“Halo, Ez. It's me,” Hanum's voice from across.
“What's up?”
“Can we meet?”
“Sorry.. Today I am tired, just came home from Phuket.”
“But I need to meet you. Something I want to talk about.”
“Lusa we meet.”
“Where?”
“Let me tell you again the place and the time.”
“Good. Thanks, Ez. Love you.”
Without replying to Hanum's love, Ezra ends the call. He got into his car and drove the vehicle to his parents' home. His body was already tired after traveling a long way and accompanying Dilara all day. All he wanted right now was to clean himself up and sleep.

Obviously yes, the accident was purely due to human error, not because Dilara's car was sabotaged. Hanum isn't that bad. Don't forget to apologize that I've suudzon am Hanum🏃🏃🏃🏃
