The day has been replaced by night with a perfectly round moonlight. Of course the faithful stars accompanying the moon also shine in turn.
In the ICU Room it looks empty of visitors. There were only three people in the waiting room with different chairs. But there are only a few babies who are being treated with baby Misela. Maybe because here also the cost is quite expensive.
Baby Misela fell asleep after drinking a bottle. I wasn't allowed to breastfeed her directly before things completely recovered. Even to carry it, I can't. I can only hold her hand for a moment. I can only see it from outside the room. It was obvious that he was in pain at the moment. Only a mother can feel it.
Tonight I waited for Misela alone. Mother I ask to go home because here is also free not to be able to hold her grandson. So mom came home from noon today. Tomorrow mom will come back with me breakfast and a change of clothes because we did not have time to bring her.
I also walked out of the hospital. Sit on a chair with a look up at the sky facing the moon. I clenched my chest and closed my eyes trying to feel the moonlight. And take my breath back.
"If Hanan is here to accompany me." But my mind came to a halt after hearing a footsteps.
Tap tap tap
The footsteps approached me. At first I thought it was just someone who just wanted to sit like I was enjoying the beautiful night but no he took an empty seat next to me and mimicked my style of clenching my chest and closing my eyes.
"Zaki's? Why are you here?" I asked her because she looks funny in that style.
"Loah Del." Zaki then opened his eyes and sat down in a position looking at me.
"Where are you from the morning when it's new?"
I asked curiously because after giving me rice sitting this morning Zaki did not see the stem of his nose.
"Yes, cook and find a girl. The girl is in front of my eyes." Zaki started his fighting. I just smiled in response to his words.
"Emh Zak, I'm sorry that I have to say this to you and you."
"I deg deg deg nih face loe ordinary dong do not be serious. What the hell are you talking about?" Zaki returned to his seat and was ready to listen to what I was going to say.
"Before I apologize, Zak, because I and baby Misela have been bothering you today, I think I should call you because she is your daughter too. But it turns out my mind was wrong. There's someone who misunderstands the consequences of my decision that's in a hurry."
"What do you mean by loe?" Zaki instantly guessed the person I meant.
"Em.iya Zak. I don't want to hang you, too, Zak."
"meaning?"
"In fact, before you and Ms. Dian came to my house that day, I had already received Hanan's proposal before her."
"What's? Hanan proposed?" Zaki looks shocked.
"Yes Zak. I've also met his parents."
"Did they accept Loe's current state?"
I just shook my head.
"I'm guessing they must have refused. Are you in love with Hanan Del?"
"I'll try Zak. Love will grow over time. After all Hanan has been very good to me all this time."
"Don't try Del! Love the man you love now." Zaki turned his seat back to look at the moon looking at us right now.
"You mean?"
"Stay in love with me Del. I know you still love me, right?"
"You're right, Zak, I still have that taste. But Zak just so you know Hanan's sacrifice for me is huge. He's the only guy who strengthens me when I'm down because you dumped me. He's willing to wait, he's willing to work hard for me, he loves your daughter too much."
"Gue's sorry you I left a deep wound in Loe Del's heart. That's why I want to start again from the beginning with Loe Del. I want to fix everything I've broken."
"Em yes Zak I'm sorry about you. But how selfish I am Zak, I was going to take you back because Misela definitely needs her biological father not a father. Only after I think about it again and I think repeatedly I feel so cruel to Hanan's feelings if I accept you again Zak."
"Gue knows Del. I will try to accept this decision. I hope you can be happy with Hanan. If Hanan hurts how you feel, say the same to me. I'll make him feel good."
"Makasi Zak for his attention. We can still be friends, right? We can still take care of Misela with Zak. Just an old man. We can still do that."
"Yes we agreed to take care of Misela together even though we can't be together."
I smile at Zaki and then look back at the moonlight.
"You mean?"
"Yes she is Sinta. He looks sincere on the sick Zak. I talked to him yesterday. I thought he was going to insult me back. But he told me a lot about you. Sinta really loves you. Try to love her too. I'm sure he can make you happy."
Zaki stand.
"Gue go first there's still business to be done."
"Hm."
"Thank you for ever being in my life. I hope you can be happy."
"Yes Zak."
"Wait for me to forget something. The guy who hit your dad has met?"
"Yet, the police know who is. He said he's still investigating deeper and gathering the hard evidence."
"Oh that. After you know the person makes the decision on the basis of your heart not on your anger. I'll go take care of myself. Don't stay out of the air too long isn't good." Zaki stood up and stroked my headbag. I'm just smiling.
After that Zaki left just like that leaving a question. What does it mean to make decisions on the basis of heart rather than anger?
Never mind.
I got out of my seat and went back inside. Just a few steps I walked I found Hanan standing with both hands in his jeans pocket.
"Thean…"
But Hanan turned his body and walked around with me.
"Nan wait for me." I tried to shout at him but didn't stop his steps.
I ran after him. The atmosphere of the hospital was already rather quiet not many people outside the room now. I think because it's almost midnight.
I managed to get close to Hanan. I took his hand and stood before him.
"You don't misunderstand me first. What you saw just now is not what you think." I looked up at Hanan.
Hanan looked at me.
"I was here for you but I don't think you're lonely here."
"That Nan isn't it I also wish you could accompany me here."
Hanan was silent. He won't look at me anymore. His gaze was fixed on a lamp in the room.
"And I beg you to terrorize me first."
There was still no answer from Hanan's mouth. I hug Hanan. My hands are coiled around his waist. I hugged it tightly. My head is right in his chest. I tried to convince her.
"Nan I like you to be jealous, but I swear nothing happened to me and Zaki just now. He just said goodbye to me. I also told him that I prefer you and I said that our relationship is only limited to Misela's parents Nan."
Hanan returned my embrace. Sticking his chin over my head. And so tightly she hugged me. We hugged for quite a while. I waited for Hanan to release my embrace first.
"I'm sorry." So said Hanan. Then he hugged me back. "Let's go with baby Misela." Hanan spoke up but still hugged me tightly. After Hanan calmed down we walked to the room where baby Misela was being cared for. We sat in the waiting room chair in front of baby Misela's room.
"Nan Makasi wants to believe me."
Hanan held my hand.
"I also thank you that you prefer me."
We smile at each other.
"Well sleepy? Sleep here!" Hanan patted her thighs so that I could sleep on her lap. I also obeyed Hanan.
