Heartiness
Chapter 57 #S3

After calming Tara down. Eggy and Almira brought her back into the hospital more precisely in the inpatient room specifically for Egga.

Mr. Wijaya asked the hospital to move Egga to a special room, he did not want Egga in the middle of the people in the ICU room.

The three of them (Eggy, Almira and Tara) were surprised, there was a commotion in his brother's room so that other visitors were busy crowding just because they wanted to know what happened. They came to him and Eggy immediately ordered the visitors to the hospital.

"Sorry, what's wrong? Why are you all gathering here? Is this not a hospital? Please don't make a fuss here. Or I'll call security to expel you all from this hospital". Without further ado - the stale Eggy threatened them.

Eggy no longer cared what people would say about her, because he is fed up with people around him who have a curiosity that is increasingly becoming but not useful (beneficial) for himself or others.

They also scatter because they really recognize who Eggy is in the hospital.

Almira and Tara were surprised to see Eggy's fierce yet firm demeanor.

He and his wife and Tara went into Egga's room. They saw Zia and her family coming to visit Egga and that was the cause of the commotion.

"It's all your fault. If only you hadn't been close to Egga this wouldn't have happened to Egga". His shouting.

Zia cried bitterly while pointing - pointing at Ratna and then blamed her.

Tara was furious to see Zia corner Ratna.

"You better get out of here". His impact.

"Enough Buk... It's not all Mama's fault. I can't blame Mama". Without fear Tara defended and protected Ratna from Zia.

Others were surprised to see his courage.

" You little boy know what ha?". Zia snapped at her, her eyes reddened and her sense she was eager to pounce on Tara.

"Based on street children, never know manners and do not know how to respect parents. Wonder why the three of them are so eager to adopt street children like you". Zia squeezes Tara's chin hard enough that even her long fingernails injure Tara's lower cheek. Mr. Wijaya was surprised to hear what Zia said.

" What the fuck'an you Zia". Eggy snapped at Zia and removed her hand from Tara's chin which was slightly bleeding due to Zia's fingernails.

"Well...! I wonder what special this street kid is until - until you defend him dead - matian ha ha ha ha. Who is he, then? He has absolutely no blood relation to you all, he's just garbage being quoted on the streets. Why are you defending him so much?". Zia's hand did not stop sticking Tara's head.

#plaaaaaac.....

Ratna slapped her slap on Zia's cheek hard enough that it almost fell to the floor. He was no longer able to hold back his emotions.

Zia's eyes widened to see Ratna daring her slap him. His breath was stirring - gebu while holding his cheek.

Zia and the others fell silent, as Zia left a scratch on Tara's cheek, as well as Ratna leaving a slap on Zia's cheek as well as a slap to her heart.

"Zia let's go home". His parents dragged him home from the hospital. Mr. Wijaya glanced at them.

" Zia still wants to be here Pa Ma, Zia wants to be here with Egga". Whine while holding his hand on Egga's bed.

"Here you go, Ayok Zia. You're just embarrassing. We're free here. It's free for you to wait for a half-living person like Egga, useless. Later Papa will find another guy for you who is much more than Egga". He plainly said in front of the Vijaya family.

Sontak made Mr. Wijaya laugh a little at the words of his coworkers and then realized something.

"But Pa... Zia wants her to be with Egga, she doesn't want to be with the others. Zia love her same Egga hu hu hu". Zia whined like a child, and her parents insisted on forcing her to go home and forbade her to see Egga again.

" Papa see for yourself, right? Even Papa also heard with his own ear what had happened, even though Papa had not listened to him in detail but Eggy felt it was enough to prove that what Papa accused Doctor Ratna of was wrong". Eggy laughs at her Papa, not mean brash but she laughs because Zia herself said that Tara is a street child adopted by the three of them, it wasn't Ratna's son who was instrumental in trapping Egga into Ratna's trap.

"Papa realized that Papa was wrong because he had accused Doctor Ratna like that. Papa is also aware that Zia is not a good woman for Egga. Just look at her parents forcing her to stay away from Egga because now Egga can't do anything - what hu hu hu. Papa salah hu hu. Maafin Papa hu hu hu". Mr. Wijaya cried bitterly and then knelt to Eggy, as quickly as Eggy prevented her Papa from kneeling before her and apologized to her children.

Eggy, Almira and Bu Hanna were also crying. Eggy shook her head.

"Pa... Papa doesn't have to apologize. Papa needs to trust us more Papa's children, Papa's flesh blood hu hu hu". Eggy hugged the Papa tightly, their cries further broke before Egga who was still unconscious but Egga's tears flowed down her cheeks as if - would she feel and witness her as well.

...

Ratna brought Tara into her room, she did not say a word to Tara, she just silently treated the wound on Tara's cheek while shedding her tears. Tara wiped away Ratna's tears and shook her head not to cry anymore.

Ratna smilingly looked at Tara then hugged her.

"Egga, please come back with us. We need you so much and miss you so much". It flows in the heart.

...

Ratna decides Tara stays with her for a while and no matter the risk she faces, whether her Mama accepts Tara or not. But luckily they were both, the mother did not mind in the least everything that happened and she accepted Tara with great heart.

Every day Ratna always visited Egga silently - silent at the time when the Wijaya family did not keep watch in his room. Ratna chose to avoid them for now, as she did not want any more commotion caused by him.

But actually Pak Wijaya and Eggy knew that Ratna was avoiding them and met Egga silently.

Ratna always gave support to Egga so that Egga had the desire to regain consciousness quickly, she never gave up, he always tried for Egga even though Egga never gave him a response even once.

Not to rule out the possibility, behind his stubbornness he was often powerless to hold his sadness and cry beside Egga.
