Butterfly In You
Chapter 92: Butterfly In You

"You are like a butterfly and that butterfly is inside you. From caterpillar to cocoon. Passing a long process of metamorphosis, the caterpillar then transformed into a beautiful butterfly. Flapping his wings freely. Go to a beautiful place she likes." ~Shehan Murad

**

How shocked Nining was to find out that his daughter had blood cancer and was battling the disease. His old body trembled while crying bitterly. Nining could no longer say anything. Nining recalled that it was the same disease that caused LiIis' father to die some time ago.

"Why Lilis never said it before, hiks .. if she's sick," Nining said, sadly. Time and again the old woman wiped away the tears that were rushing across her cheeks that had been wrinkled.

"I asked permission to take Lilis to America, Mom. I will try to help LiIis as much as I can."

"Yes, Son Shehan. Mother Iklikhas whatever is best for LiIis. I hope he gets well and soon. Hicks...." Nining is back.

Shehan was saddened as he spoke to Nining in the living room. His eyes were dewy, but he did not want to show it. "Please pray for us, ma'am."

"Yes, Son Shehan. I'll definitely wish you both the best."

"Thank you, Mom."

In order to treat LiIis, Shehan took her to a cancer treatment hospital in the United States. Various best efforts were made by local doctors, one of them by way of chemotherapy.

But unfortunately, the influence of drugs from the treatment process makes Lilis must be willing to lose strands for strands of beautiful hair. Every day the amount of hair is falling out more and more. Impact on her appearance that is no longer beautiful as before.

"Hiks .. hiks ... hiks...." Lilis was crying - her body was trembling when she saw her own reflection in the mirror. He barely recognized his face anymore. Very different from the old one, "hiks .. hiks ... hiks .. arrrgghhh...."

Prangs!

Braaakk!

The mirror cracked and broke. Some of the shards fell around the lips of the sink and the toilet floor. Frustrated Lilis hit the mirror using a glass she used to gargle after brushing her teeth.

Blood dripped from LiIis' hand as a result of being hit by glass fragments. As LiIis lowered her hands down, more and more blood fell to the floor. When a nurse came to Lilis's room to be treated for lunch, she found LiIis standing inside the toilet-facing the sink mirror with blood pouring from her hands. The nurse panicked.

"Oh, my gosh! What happened to you? Your hands are covered in blood!"

In a hurry, the nurse placed the lunch box for LiIis on the nightstand. Immediately ran over to LiIis inside the toilet. The nurse turned to the mirror of the sink that had broken and cracked on the edge. He also realized that LiIis' hand was injured by hitting the sink mirror using a glass. Because the bloody hand of LiIis still holds the glass even though part of it is also broken.

"Come on! Let's walk carefully!" the nurse said after picking up the glass LiIis held - putting it on the lip of the sink. He hugged LiIis towards his room again. While LiIis was as he pleased, walking slowly up the floor that felt cold even though it was still summer.

"Please, sit on your bed! I will take a bandage and medicine to treat your wound" the nurse added. Scurrying out of LiIis' room to pick up bandages and medicine. Not long after, he came again while carrying a medicine box in his hand with a janitor who he told to clean the broken sink mirror

A few moments later.

Shehan came while carrying a marun color shopping paper bag. It is not yet known what the bag contained. But before arriving at Lilis's room, Shehan had been told by the hospital that LiIis had broken the sink mirror using a mouthwash.

Chequek!

Lilis was lying in a hospital bed when Shehan entered the room. Upon seeing Shehan emerge from behind the door, LiIis quickly pulled out a blanket to cover her entire body. LiIis did not want Shehan to see her in this kind of miserable state.

"Don't come any closer, Mum!" liiis shouted from inside the blanket.

"Lilis, have you had lunch?" shehan asked as he stroked LiIis' head from outside.

"Don't come any closer, Mum! Didn't you hear me? I don't want to bother you!"

Lilis becomes more emotional and irritable due to frustration and depression. He was depressed to face his illness that did not heal. Instead, his life now depends on drugs and dialysis.

Despite that, Shehan understood why LiIis' attitude had turned out to be so. As a husband, he was steadfast and patiently accompanied LiIis the entire time. Never complained at all.

"Lilis, come on, let's get out! The weather was good outside" Shehan asked, spreading his gaze out the window for a moment.

"No way, Mom! I want to be alone! Don't bother me!" sergeant LiIis again then sayup-sayup heard his crying voice, "hiks .. hiks ... hiks...."

Shehan who loved his wife so much would not let LiIis cry. He forced open a blanket that covered LiIis' body despite initially being held by LiIis and there was little struggle between them. After taking the blanket forcibly, Shehan saw LiIis covering her nose.

Again, Shehan smiled thinly-trying steadfastly. Take a piece of dry tissue from his box that was on the nightstand - along with the shopping paper bag he had placed earlier.

"Come here! I'll clean it up!"

Initially Lilis flinched. However, Shehan's second invitation had melted his heart.

"Come, Honey! I want you to come closer to me."

Lilis according to when Shehan helped her sit on the bed. Shehan then cleaned the blood of Lilis nosebleed using the tissue he had taken and it was not enough to clean the blood of Lilis that came out quite a lot. Shehan took more tissue, painstakingly treating Lilis.

Lilis flinching-noticed Shehan. In his heart he felt touched and filled. Touched because Shehan was so kind he was still willing to accompany him even though he had been helpless. On one hand Lilis was worried about Shehan if she could not last longer, who would accompany her husband.

"Mas..," call Lilis when Shehan has finished cleaning her mystic blood.

"Yes." Yeah." Shehan was smiling with love.

"I'm ugly, Mom. I'm ashamed to be near Mas" lamented Lilis. His eyes quickly dew.

"You're not ugly, Lilis. Not at all." Shehan tried to comfort his wife. He picked up a shopping paper bag from the nightstand and took out the contents. A long cloth of head coverings Shehan had prepared when he heard from the nurse who helped Lilis earlier that Lilis was depressed to see her almost bald appearance.

Shehan put on the cloth-covering Lilis' head. So that Lilis is no longer burdened by losing her hair. Shehan then wiped the last drop of nosebleed blood coming out of Lilis' nose with his index finger. He applied the blood to Lilis's lips so that Lilis's face would not turn pale.

"You are like a butterfly and the butterfly is inside you. From caterpillar to cocoon. Passing a long process of metamorphosis, the caterpillar then transformed into a beautiful butterfly. Flapping his wings freely. Go to a beautiful place she likes."

Shehan recalled how Lilis used to look like she thought she was a village. As time went on, LiIis turned into his beautiful wife. Even though her physical beauty had faded. However, the beauty of the heart remained an aura of true beauty.

Both corners of Lilis' lips twitched. Little by little formed a line of meaningful smiles. A smile that soothed Shehan's heart after a long time he did not see a glimmer of happiness emanating from the pale look of his wife.
