HIS EX-LOVER MADE ME FRET
28. Accident
Eric drove his motorbike to find lodging and he accidentally passed in front of his in-laws who had been visited some time ago.
He slowed down the speed of his vehicle when he saw the crowd and there were tents attached to the neighboring house. "I'm not wrong, it must be Anna who is married" he said in his heart. There was pain penetrating his heart the deepest.
From the opposite direction he saw Felyn walking cheerfully. His left hand held the ice cream and his left hand was held by a woman. Eric estimates that the woman is his guardian.
Felyn's getting bigger and more beautiful. At first Eric wanted to see him but his intention was undone given the risks that could have occurred. Finally he just grabbed his phone and took a picture of his son in secret.
With a broken feeling Eric laid his body on the soft mattress when he entered the room in the inn house. He wanted to rest for a while before returning to city A.
His eyes continued to look at the picture of his son who was laughing happily. The pain again pierced his heart imagining his son would have a stepfather.
"Tin!"
Eric immediately opened the incoming message on the WhatsApp application.
There are also some wedding photos inside of Susi. Eric touched his phone screen and swiped up to see the next photo.
As if in disbelief when he saw a picture of Anna being with Susi. There are photos of them together with the bride and there are also only two with Susi.
In the picture Anna looks very graceful with a dress that is golden yellow wrapped her body.
Eric took a sitting position on the edge of the bed while observing the photos sent by Susi.
(Let's guess where I am?) chat from Susi.
(Kok, can you take a picture with my wife?) reply Eric.
(The story is long sir, later in the new office I tell you because we still have business.)
Eric's current conjecture made his heartbreak slightly lessened.
He looked back at the photo and. "astaga!" he muttered while peeking at his forehead. He just noticed who the bridegroom in the photo is.
Now his heart was more relieved because it was able to ensure that the married was Andi, his sister-in-law, not Anna. "But why was Susi, his office friend, present at the event?" he thought again with a troubled heart.
That night Eric slept soundly in the inn he rented. In the midst of the silence of the cold night he was lulled into a beautiful dream.
There was a glimmer of hope that made him feel calm and excited when he woke up from sleep in the morning. The determination was already unanimous to meet his wife and son today and he chose the right time. He said the afternoon was a time of rest for them so there was still time to prepare physically and mentally before meeting his wife and son and in-laws.
By late afternoon, he was walking. Arriving at the address given by Susi a few days ago he was very happy to see the gate open.
"Excuse me!" he said with doubt. Suddenly he felt nervous before leaving at the inn all the words had been memorized.
"Sir, how can I help you?" yura asked kindly.
Eric smiled at the woman who came to see him. "It's not wrong, this is Anna's residence because this woman I saw yesterday was holding Felyn's hand" she said in her heart.
"Is this really Nico's house?" ask Eric kindly.
"Yes, right, sir," Yura said.
"Can I come in?" Eric pinta.
Eric's face changed instantly. The spirit that exists gradually recedes. His dream of meeting his wife and son failed again.
"When did they come back here?"
"Well, I don't know either. You can really, nitip a message, I'll tell you if they're back,"
"I'll be back here sometime. Thanks for the information, Deck!"
"Together,"
Yura returned to the store after Eric had already left. Today he closed the shop earlier than usual according to Anna's orders before leaving earlier.
Mr. Nico's family left for Irian because Andi will enter his new home and will also hold a celebration.
After closing the shop, Yura also did not forget to lock the gate and then went home to her boarding house.
***
On the way back to the city of A, Eric was shocked because in the middle of the road he found a crowd was crowded. He also left his bike and approached the crowd.
"What's this, sir?"
"There's been an accident, there's a car that's been hit and run,"
"Trus, what about the victim?"
"The hit-and-run victim was still lying around but grateful that she was alive, it was just that the residents were confused because they could not act, he said, the problem is that this victim is a madman who every day does not know day or night, always wandering around here and often disturbing street users,"
Eric approached the victim and was surprised when he saw the victim's face up close.
"Dad...!!!" the cry with a loud voice made the people who were huddled look at each other.
Eric waved to the passing motorist but no one paid him off. Finally he remembered, on his phone there was a hospital employee's number. He called immediately and asked to be picked up by ambulance. Not forgetting he told me the address of the scene.
Soon an ambulance came to the place. Eric pleaded with residents to help him carry his father's body into an ambulance and followed the car to the hospital.
The struggle experienced by Mr. Hendrik made him frustrated to the severe stress after being kicked by his wife from home without carrying anything but clothes attached to his body.
Living in a city with no purpose makes him no longer able to control his mind. He went crazy and his job every day was to annoy drivers passing by on the highway to ask for a bite of rice. Sometimes he sleeps by the roadside barefoot under the hot sun.
His clothes were very shabby and his hair was shabby but Eric could still recognize him. Along the way to the hospital, he thought about how he would come to see his father. He knew his mother's heart was very hurt by the actions of his father who had cheated on him with Dewi who was his close friend. Actually Eric also had such thoughts to forget his father but seeing his current condition, who else would care if not his children because they are the blood of his flesh.
The nurse at the hospital immediately takes the patient to the treatment room. Mr. Hendrik apparently fainted due to a hard object impact on his head.
After confirming that his father had been taken care of by a nurse, Eric went to a nearby store to buy his father's change of clothes. He chose a shirt and shorts.
"How much is it, Mom?"
"one hundred and fifty thousand rupiah,"
Eric immediately opened his wallet and pulled out one hundred and fifty bills each and handed them to the seller.
