Dusk For Nathan 2
137

Dusk leaned weakly against the hospital wall as soon as it got word from doctors that Ms Fitri was in a coma due to a ruptured blood vessel in her brain. Why the disaster this time is so consecutive befall his small family.

Dusk immediately called Randy to give news if Nathan was arrested by police and Ms Fitri who was lying weak in the hospital. Not for an hour. Nabila and Randy are already in the hospital to accompany Dusk.

" I'll help with Nathan's case." Said Nabila while gently patting the back of Dusk.

" Thank you."

" Why is he obsessed with Nathan!" Randy hits the hospital wall.

" What if Nathan can't be released?! What if you are not aware too?! How am I supposed to deal with all this?!" The twilight returned. All the things that happened to him seemed to make it crowded. Nathan can no longer solve his own problems.

******

Nathan was silent to see Wulan who was in the early morning at the police station to visit him. They were in a room that was reserved for meeting with the prisoners.

" How cold is that floor, Nath?"

" Much better. Rather than having a bed with you." Nathan's mouth is cold.

" I heard your mother was in a coma. I hope he quickly realizes that he can see his future daughter-in-law." Wulan.

" What?!" Nathan was struck by lightning when he heard his mother enter the hospital again. His mother must have been depressed by his problems. Nathan gripped his hair. " Why don't you just kill me!" Maki Nathan is angry at Wulan.

" I don't want you to die. I want you to be my husband. That's all." Wulan could still be calm.

" Don't bother my family!"

" I won't bother them if you agree to marry me! Remember. When you were here. You can't protect them." Say Wulan relaxing.

Nathan took a deep breath. His mind was instantly muddled as soon as he heard the news of his mother. His brain could no longer think of anything else.

" How?"

" yes. I agree." Nathan Said. Even though he really doesn't know what he's saying. His mind is really fucked. She was so scared of losing her mother.

" all right. I'll take care of all the report revocation files. Your company's problems. I'll help settle with your investors." Wulan shook Nathan's hand which still seemed reluctant to touch him.

******

" How can you make a decision before you talk to me, Nath!" Omel Brama meets with Nathan to discuss his case and Nathan instead answers that his case is over. And will marry Wulan.

" My mind is in a state of confusion, Bram." Nathan Said.

" I know it's heavy. But please think clearly, Nath."

" How could I think if my mom was in a coma! My family is under threat while I can't protect them!" Nathan's refutation was no less yelling at Brama.

Brama took her breath in. Sit back in the chair in the room.

" But you can win the case. Your name will be clean." Brama was reassuring.

" What about my family's safety?"

" Randy and his wife talked about this. They'll protect your family as long as you're here." Brama. " Remember, Nath. You're not alone."

Nathan took a deep breath. He was only aware of the presence of his friends at this time. Yep.. Brama's right. He has always not faced his own problems.

" Yes." Nathan said in a heavy voice. He felt a bad feeling.

*****

Wulan stared coldly at Brama who came to see him. His eyes did not look friendly.

" Who are you?" Wulan asked without letting Brama in.

" I'm Brama, Mr. Nathan's lawyer."

" ahh.. Yep.. Later in the day I will take care of the retraction of the report related to the persecution case." Wulan.

" No need to bother. I've talked about this with Mr. Nathan. And he's willing to fight you until the case is over." Brama said casually.

" What?!" Screeched Wulan with sharp bulging eyes. " He promised to marry me!"

" With threats. Yeah, he'll approve. I have given security to his family. Please just dream. Excuse me."

" Armghh!" Wulan slammed the door in anger. The plan will fail.

Wulan was well aware that his position was not strong enough if he had to face Nathan in court. Everything happened because he was approaching. Nathan will easily get a defense.

" You better give up. Before you feel stripped naked because of this case, Lan." Zizi.

" Wouldn't. I'll make him suffer for his decision." Wulan said annoyedly.

The sun dazzles the eyes of the dusk sleeping on the living room sofa. Her eyes were so full because she was crying all night. Dusk took a deep breath because it turned out that the incident that happened to him was not a dream. Tears are back in her eyes.

" Yes." Dusk answered his phone call.

" What? I'll be there soon." Said Dusk and immediately rushed to the hospital because Bu Fitri was critical. Though last night he could leave because his condition was stable.

The twilight returned to tears to see her mother-in-law struggling from behind the glass that was on the door of the room Bu Fitri treated.

After a few minutes doctors struggled to help Ms. Fitri. All the defenses of Dusk collapsed when the team of doctors removed the medical device and covered the body of the patient Bu Fitri up to the head.

" Sir...." Isak Dusk is powerless. Somehow he had to pass on this sad news to Nathan. Somehow her husband will be destroyed. Dusk wept lamenting the passing of his mother-in-law.

Alternately, people entered Nathan's house to give condolences to the family of Bu Fitri. Tears continue to flow as if reluctant to stop since Nathan's problems befall his family.

People who had muttered the chanting of the holy verse for a moment were silent to see Nathan who came with a lethargic face in the guard of two policemen. Nathan walked up to his mother lying down. She opened the cloth that covered her mother's face and she kissed her mother's cheeks lovingly.

" I'm sorry Nathan, Mom." Nathan's sobs broke as the sentence came out of his mouth.

Brama pat Nathan on the shoulder as if strengthening. " Patience, Nath."

Nathan goes to the bathroom to pick up ablutions and sits cross-legged beside his mother's corpse. With a vibrating voice. Nathan recited the sacred verse to his mother. Many times he rubbed his eyes that were wet from tears.

Nabila and Randy can only see from a distance. No words could strengthen Nathan this time. Her mother's death was the hardest blow of her life. Several times Nathan stopped because he could not hold his sobs.

Dusk hugged her husband who was increasingly shaking his body. No words came out of Nathan's mouth. Only sobs were heard from the man who always looked tough.
