Dear Om Rey

Dear Om Rey
Chapter 76: The Last Word


"Mas, Aunt Manda really is okay?" I asked, I don't know how many times.


"It's okay, honey." Answer Mas Rey also for who knows how many times. "Udah, now you sleep first. Later I wake up when we are already nyampe ya."


I also nodded obediently. Because it was sleepy also I finally decided to sleep in front of the seat position whose backrest had been made low to the back so that I or Mas Rey who sat next to me could fall asleep comfortably for a long time we're on our way. While this premium car is driven by one of the Kusuma Family drivers.


After several hours of sleep, Mas Rey finally woke me up. We arrived at the parking lot of a hospital. We went in and looked for Aunt Manda's whereabouts. After calling my mother, we learned that Aunt Manda was in an inpatient room.


"Bun" I approached my mother who was sitting in the waiting chair with my Grandpa and Grandma. Their faces look lethargic.


"Nis, I'm sorry Mommy asked you to be the same Rey dateng malem-malem gini. But..." My mother suddenly sobbed. "You want to see you guys."


"Emang Aunt Manda why the hell, Bun?" I was worried to see my mother's reaction.


Mother shakes. "Mother also does not know, but somehow Mother does not feel good. Manda suddenly reacted again, she was chatting normally after months she didn't want to talk. He's sorry for Mother, your Grandpa and Grandma, even Vito."


"When did Manda start showing her reaction again, Bun?" Ask Mas Rey.


"So morning, Rey. After that he's kayaking..." My mother's words paused. "I think he's saying the same to everyone."


My eyes warmed up, and the water pooled in my eyes.


"And just now when he was going to sleep, Vito suddenly called Mother, saying that Manda had to be taken to the hospital because he suddenly felt heartburn, and was unconscious. Though it's not time for Manda to give birth."


"Bun, maybe it's just Mother's feelings. Manda must be fine." Entertain Mas Rey.


"Hopefully, Rey."


Just then Vito came out of the room. He looked at me and Mas Rey took turns.


"Vit, how's Aunt Manda?" I'm anxious.


He smiled softly. "She wants to see you, Nis." Then he looked at Rey. "And also Om. Can you meet Manda?"


Me and Mas Rey stared at each other.


"You sure? Lastly, you know Manda was instantly hysterical when she saw me and Danisa."


Vito looks pale. He nodded weakly. "It's okay. She wants to see you before she gives birth."


"Vit, what's the matter? Why do you think gini? Aunt Manda why?"


Vito didn't bully me. "Sir, Ma'am, I'd like to see a doctor first." Pamphitt. Then he left.


"Rey, Danis, meet Manda right away." Saying Grandpa.


Without asking any more questions, finally Mas Rey and I walked into the room. I slowly opened the door, and we saw Aunt Manda lying in a cage. He smiled when he saw me.


It's like meeting someone else.


Aunt Manda who used to always look beautiful and fashionable, now looks so thin. Unlike me who actually experienced weight gain due to my pregnant condition, Aunt Manda actually looks thinner.


"Snakes..." Call her.


Even her weak voice, so much to my wonder, is this really Aunt Manda?


I also approached Aunt Manda with Mas Rey tailing behind me.


He stretched out his hand, and with a slight hesitation, I reached for his white, thin hand.


"Aunty..." Instantly my voice trembled and my eyes melted some clear details. I really can't bear to see this condition.


"How are you, Nis..." Ask in a very slow voice.


I nodded while holding my sobs. "Good, Aunt. Aunt herself..how? Why is Aunt skinny..."


Aunt Manda smiled softly. "Tante.can't take care of yourself, Nis. Aunty can't keep auntie's content..."


"Auntie must be healthy again. Aunty has to eat a lot, yeah."


He was silent and did not understand me, he looked at me sadly. "Aunty Maafin...Nis."


My tears are pouring more and more to hear the apology from Aunt Manda. I understand what my mother said earlier, Aunt Manda's behavior has indeed become very strange. And this worries me a lot.


"Tante, I've been a long time sorry Auntie. I'm the one who wants to apologize to Auntie. I'm..." I was sobbing too. "I've taken Mas Rey from Auntie. Sorry me... Auntie deserves to be angry with me... Sorry.me..." My crying is breaking.


"You didn't get Rey from Auntie. Instead you become a medicine for Rey, when Auntie always gave Rey a wound. Aunt thank you for your blessing... Rey can smile and be happy again. The one thing Aunt never loved Rey again for the rest of our marriage."


I didn't answer anymore, my sobs stopped my words.


"Can...Aunt hugged you?" Her request.


I really don't want Aunt Manda to be like this.


"Thank you, Nis..." Aunt Manda loosened her arms, "Can Auntie talk to Rey?"


I nodded again.


Mas Rey was sitting in my position, next to Aunt Manda and I was standing behind Mas Rey.


A drop of water flashed across his cheek and fell onto his chest. "Rey..."


Mas Rey clasped Aunt Manda's hand. "Yes, Man."


"Why am I. I can't realize sooner, if you mean anything to me."


Mas Rey could only be silent while holding the hand of Aunt Manda. Mas Rey's thumb rubbed wet on Aunt Manda's cheek.


"I'm sorry... Rey's... If there were more words than sorry that I could express to you. So you know that I am truly sorry I have always been evil to you..." Lirih.


"It's all over, man. I've been sorry for you for a long time. But if you want me to forgive you now, you should be healthy again. Cleanse your child, and be happy with your husband, with your son."


"Mother me..." Mumbles weakly. "Vitos... He's a good boy, Rey... He's a good husband..."


"Yes, I know. He will be a good doctor one day. You have to take care of your heart just for her to start now."


Aunt Manda nodded weakly. "I want to get him... Rey's... If he's wrong, please... Treat her like a sister... Don't let.he missteps again... Until..he met with.women like.I again..."


Mas Rey shook her head. "You don't have to leave Vito like gini, Man. You alone will always be by his side."


"I guess I can't..."


"What are you talking about, Man?" Now Mas Rey's voice is shaking. "You will give birth, take care of your child, be the wife of Vito, and you will not betray her. Remember that, Man. If you don't, I'll never forgive you."


"I'm..."


Suddenly, Auntie's words paused. He lost his consciousness. "Man.." Mas Rey scooped both cheeks of Aunt Manda. "Manda!!"


"Aante!!" Call panic.


Suddenly Vito, my mother, Grandpa and grandmother entered.


Soon Vito takes over the position of Mas Rey who is closest to Aunt Manda. "THE PARADISE! You're beating me?" With a state of panic he checked the condition of Aunt Manda.


A white suit and a few nurses came with a push-branch. "Where, Vit?"


"He's still breathing, Prof. But his pulse is weak. We need to get him to the operating room!" Vito suddenly carried Aunt Manda's body to the thrust cage.


They immediately brought Aunt Manda to the operating room. We all followed him to the front of the operating room. When the door closed, we could only wait. So did Vito who looked so panicked and frustrated.


"Pray the best." The doctor said before hurrying to deal with Aunt Manda.


But Vito seemed to have lost his hope, he was crying.


"Vit, what's Aunt Manda really doing?" I'm just impatient. I really do not understand why Aunt Manda like that, plus Vito to react like this to the condition of Aunt Manda.


After a few moments he explained. "Manda's psychic condition worsens her physical condition. Plus the bad habits of Manda in early pregnancy, make her pregnancy weak. And now... His condition is getting worse... Manda should not have given birth... But..." Vito doesn't explain anymore, he looks so fucked up.


"You must be strong, Vito." Said my grandfather trying to strengthen even though his voice was also getting vibrating. "You still have hope, don't you?"


Vito could only cry. He was so scared. Until I subconsciously embrace it, hoping to strengthen it.


Some time later, the doctor came out of the operating room. Sontak Vito approached him immediately.


"Where is my wife and my son, Prof?"


"Your son is born. He's healthy."


As soon as I had a clean look with Mas Rey, we were happy because it meant my cousin was born. My mother, grandfather and grandmother also continued to give thanks.


But Vito, also the doctor, was still staring at each other tensely. "Keep...Manda?"


The doctor swallowed his saliva. "As I have explained..."


Vito got into the operating room. The doctor let him.


"What-what..that is, Doc?" I want a clear answer.


The doctor looked at us regretfully. "Mrs Amanda, she was dead by the time she arrived in the operating room."
