Being late in love
The departure of Papa Iren
After the doctor said that there was progress with Papa Iren's condition, then we felt relieved. I took Iren to lunch outside. I took her to a restaurant in the city center.
In restaurant....
I chose a seat that was outside, precisely on the terrace, seeing the vehicle passing by might be able to make the mind a little calm. After ordering the food, Iren started a conversation.
"you what the fuck? Why did you marry me when you were still married? I told you I didn't want to be second. Not to mention your extended family knows, family apalgi. You're crazy, man.."
"Ren, I'm marrying you because I love you, besides I'm also responsible for your father's request.." I hold both of his hands,
"but the way we got it wrong. Even your wife doesn't know. What happens if he finds out? I don't think about your way of thinking."
"let me take responsibility. I'll explain it to him. I don't love him, honey.."
" you don't love him but doesn't he love you? What if he loves you? Can I just be your betel wife? We did not even get married with a letter. He's more worthy of you."
"had it been, baby, I'm tired of having to explain it to you over and over again, let me take responsibility, let me explain it to her, okay?!" I said firmly. "now we eat first, you must be tired all day has shed a lot of tears."
He just kept quiet, then ate with a sad face. I thought of Hana, God...I forgot to have an appointment with him. I shook my head. Oh, never mind, he won't be angry, my mind. I haven't thought about it for long, he called me.
I was confused as to what to say, I saw Iren who did not care about my voice. I know Hana must be asking me why I didn't come. Then I just answer if I'm busy and there's a meeting so it can't be disturbed.
"Your wife?" with his cynical tone.
"yes." I replied briefly.
No meaningful conversations anymore. Not long after, Iren got a call from the hospital. We rushed there and we didn't even finish our lunch.
arriving at the hospital, we immediately ran to the ICU where papa was treated, but the door was closed, there were several doctors and nurses in there that I saw from behind the glass door.
I saw Iren pacing back and forth in an uncertain direction, I embraced his shoulder, I invited him to sit in the waiting room chair. Then I calmed her down and encouraged her by saying everything would be fine.
He was crying sobbing. The doctor came out with a sad face. Is there bad news? my inner..
Then the doctor said that Mr. Satya had returned to Rahmatullah because of the complications he suffered.
Iren was crying so much. How not, only his father is the one he has now, but God has taken it for good. I let him take all his sadness away. He sobbed, I didn't feel like I was even letting out my tears. Being left alone in this world, must be very lonely. But he's got me, he shouldn't be so sad. I promised to stay with him and protect him.
seriate...😔
