Earth Without Dusk
121. There's Still a Chance
In a different hospital, a hospital that deals with patients with mental disorders, there was a woman who sat daydreaming in a garden chair there. His long hair looked worn out just like that. His eyes were empty as if he was wandering far away somewhere. He is Nesya who has been a patient in the hospital for two months.
For two months, either Adrian or Tari as his parents never absent to visit their daughter only wayang every day. Despite the mistakes he made, Nesya was still their flesh and blood. There was their blood flowing within every pulse of his veins. Not only his parents, Marcel also quite often visit him and give encouragement to him.
Since Nesya entered the hospital, Marcel became more familiar with Adrian's family. Even their company is now working together. Marcel did it deliberately so that his return to America could be delayed longer. Adrian has told a lot about Nesya and her family to Marcel. Marcel took even more pity on Nesya. However, they often have a relationship together, undeniably, there is an interest in Marcel to Nesya.
This afternoon Marcel returned to visit Nesya with a bouquet of flowers in his hand. He walked over to Nesya who was sitting alone in the garden chair. He knelt down in front of Neshiah and placed the flower he carried on Neshya's thigh.
“Hai, Baby. How are you today? You always look beautiful as always,” said Marcel while tucking his hair behind his ear.
Nesya looked silent. His gaze was still straight ahead, not looking into the eyes of his interlocutor.
“I brought you flowers. I hope you like it. Or maybe you want me to bring you something? You can tell me whatever you want, as long as it's possible, I'll bring it for you,” said Marcel again who was still staring at Nesya.
Nesya still answered nothing. His eyes were still empty as usual. Marcel did not give up. He sat right next to Nesya.
“Oh yes Nesya, you know, me and your papa are cooperating companies. Do you remember not? You used to ask me why I didn't work with your papa company, and now we both do. I'm getting closer to your papa. He even thought I was like his own son,” Marcel stopped for a moment to take a deep breath and exhale.
“I'm here alone. I'm also happy to think of your parents as my own,” Marcel said as he turned to Nesya.
Then Marcel grabbed Nesya's hand and clasped her tightly even though Nesya did not turn to him in the least.
“Nesya, everyone must have made a mistake. No human being escapes error. Including me and you. As long as we are alive and alive, there is still a chance for us to make amends and change ourselves to be better.”.
“I will continue beside you and give support for you so that you can get well soon and rearrange your life. Or if you want, we can move abroad and start a new life there. But promise me that you will change yourself and always faithfully walk beside me as hard as the trials of our lives later.”
Marcel was moved by his own words. And increasingly must when seeing the woman in front of him does not respond to anything. He immediately grabbed Nesya into his arms. Occasionally he kissed the top of Nesya's head with his eyes already turning red.
“Excuse me, Sir. The clock is finished. The patient has to go back to his room,” said one of the nurses there who suddenly came to separate them.
“OK. Okay, sister,” says Marcel.
He took off his arms and rubbed his hair. “I go home first. Tomorrow I'll come again. Take care of yourself, Baby,” said Marcel and left the place.
After Marcel left there, there were tears falling from Nesya's eyes that he could no longer contain. The empty eyes now reflect regret and sadness at the same time.
