Sofya looked at her only son with a mysterious look. Bersit pity on someone who has inhabited the womb for several months.
"Look at you, you're not like Galih, my son whom you've known all along" said the middle-aged woman as she forced her son to eat.
Three days since Nadia's departure, Galih has just come home with a very chaotic look. His body was so unkempt like a bully. Eating irregularly and preferring to smoke and drink coffee so as not to fall asleep.
"Eat, after this tell mama what exactly did you do to mama's daughter-in-law?!" Sofya thrust a bowl of still-warm chicken porridge in front of Galih.
Galih did not answer. He just did the mother's command to eat like a man who had not eaten for a month. He asked to add up to 3 bowls to make the mother shed her tears.
"Tell mama why did Nadia walk away from you, son?" sofya asked again when she saw that the son had finished eating.
Galih sighed then looked at the middle-aged woman.
"I'm sorry ma. I must have made a lot of mistakes until my wife hated me so much and didn't want to see each other again" Galih said. He nodded with a feeling of sadness.
Sofya stroked the shoulder of the son with the same feeling. He knew that his son was in need of support for his family's problems. He knew that Galih did not want to be advised and given advice.
A place to complain and be heard.
"Band. Clean yourself. I'm sure you also need to meet God, pour out your heart to Him so that you feel better."
"Thank you ma. I'm gonna take a shower. Nadia most dislikes seeing people who are dirty and smell like me, hehehe," Galih said with a chuckle.
Yes, he was laughing at his fragile self for being left behind by a woman he loved so much.
Is this the feeling of the woman I've been playing with all this time?
Sick but not bleeding.
Killing slowly is cruel.
The man entered his room feeling Dejavu. A similar feeling of pain when Nadia returned left him alone.
He took off all his clothes and went into the bathroom. Clean himself while arranging his face on the glass that has been overgrown with fine hairs because it never shaved.
"You're so mean to me, Nad. Wouldn't it be better if you just stabbed me with a very sharp knife than to let me miss like this huh?!" he said as if the woman was in front of him.
A heavy breath he did to loosen his extremely claustrophobic chest. Taking ablution water, he came out of the bathroom and immediately dressed cleanly.
Long and long prayers and prostrations to shed his grievances on the Lord he did. He prayed that God would give a way out of his current problems.
Linger sitting on his alphabet to reflect on his mistakes so far to get the ordeal of feeling that is very draining of his mind and energy.
Shortly thereafter, he fell asleep. His body needs rest too. Three days without sleeping well. Just on a vehicle like a traveler who has no place to hide.
Sleep with a shivering body. He has a fever with an increased body temperature. The anti-body on his body is weak. It eventually fell too.

"What's wrong with that patient?" ask the nurse who just came out of the action room.
"Miscarriage doctor. It's a pity, even though it's been almost three months pregnant," replied the nurse with a sympathetic face.
"Oh, what a pity. Husband exists?"
"There is no doctor. No family to drive him."
"Oh. So now what has been done for her?" nadia asked curiously. Somehow he felt very worried about the patient he had hated so much.
"It's going to be a doctor's appointment, but we need permission and information from his family. But until now he has not spoken. It seems that the patient is terrified."
For mothers-to-be, miscarriage is a painful thing. Both physically and mentally.
"I'll see it," broke up Nadia. He wanted so much to meet this woman.
"Please doctor." The nurse opened the door for Nadia and let her into the action room.
"Doctor Nadia," the woman chirped with teary eyes.
"Patient to me. Nara's foetus can't be saved." Nadia stroked the woman's arm gently.
"Yes the doctor."
"We had to make a quick decision to clear Nara's uterus because the rest of the undeveloped fetus could interfere with the uterus."
Nara just listened.
"Is there a husband or family number that we can call so that the right action can be done quickly mbak?"
Nara just cried. He looked very hit.
"I don't have a family doctor."
"Husband?" nadia asked with a thumping chest. Somehow she was so worried that she would call her own husband or Galih Pradana.
"I don't have a doctor."
For some reason, Nadia felt very relieved by that answer. But she still feels very curious about the woman's relationship with her husband in the past or maybe secretly in the present.
"Can Nara think of me as family?"
Nara looked very surprised by the words of the beautiful doctor. A doctor he hates so much for getting Galih Pradana from himself and from other girls.
"I'll be signed for the quick action that must be taken for Nara."
"Thank you so much doctor" Nara said with tears pouring down from her eyelids. Her guilt towards the woman further sliced her heart.
"Alright, we'll take action for you soon. You must be strong. God willing there will be more sustenance that God will give when Nara has a husband," nadia said while ordering doctors who were on duty there to provide the best treatment for Nara so as not to have an infection in the womb after curettage is done.
"Thank you so much doctor" Nara said after all the procedures had been done to her. Nadia also bore all the women's expenses.
"Sama - sama mbak Nara. You deserve the best." Nadia smiling. The shadow of Nara's old photos and videos of the shawl somehow flashed inside her head again.
He felt sad because he was not the only one who was very special in the heart of the man.
Nara understood very well what the beautiful doctor was thinking.
"Mother doctor, I've been wrong with you a lot. Indeed, Galih never once did what was in the video with me. I just made a fake video to hurt your heart."
Nadia was shocked. He looked at Nara with a serious look.
"Mas GALIH is indeed Cassanova and often plays around with us. But really he never did anything like that to all the women he had ever been close to including me."
Nadia. He doesn't know what to say.
"We've never even seen a doctor's limb. He just pleased us and left. I don't know what that means, but do you know? It was so torturous and it drove us crazy."
Nadia could no longer speak. Tight chest. He left the room with a broken cry.
