"Narendra, where have you been? Look at your wife, she's been puking ever since. Mama can't take care of all this by herself, but she ran to find a nurse. If the wife is not healthy anymore, do not leave it, dong!" Pekik Hanna who sewot when seeing the arrival of Narendra and Cliantha.
"From pick up Cia, Ma. Thank you mom for bothering to take care of Jihan" Narendra said.
"Even where everything should be picked up, like a child. Not independent!" cibir Hanna though those eyes never looked at Cliantha who was standing in the corner of the room near the door of the room.
Seeing Cliantha who tried to smile at Jihan who had come to her senses from her stupor, but Jihan's response was the opposite; she was hysterical.
"Ah, keep him away from me! Keep the bad woman away, Ma! He wants to kill me with a knife in his hand, he wants to kill my son too! Go, you! Go you crazy woman!" Shouted Jihan thrashing and covered both ears.
All the eyes were rubbing against each other.
"Jihan, who should go? Jihan, relax. Mama replied, who should go?" ask Hanna.
"He, Ma! That woman, she's mean to me. I hate her! Just go! My son will die because of him!" Shouting Jihan pointed towards Cliantha and made the entire room panic instantly.
"Go, please get him out of here. Take her away!" Shouted Jihan roaring and kicking around everything nearby.
Hanna, the middle-aged woman pulled Cliantha by the hand, forcing the beautiful woman out of the room. With harsh treatment, Hanna brought out Cliantha by force.
"Ma, I'm not who Jihan accuses me of" Cliantha's defense.
With a sharp look Hanna said, "Now I know you're a wolf in sheep's clothing" Hanna said, closing the door and locking it from the inside.
"Why am I being slandered here?" cliantha said in front of the room.
Just a short message that Cliantha sent Narendra was simply asking if she should go home or wait in front, "Just go home, don't wait because Jihan is still messed up. Go home and rest," replied Narendra to the short message the woman sent.
"But I'm not who Jihan said I was, Mas. I hope you believe me, "but the reply to the short message Cliantha sent did not get any more reply. There are only two blue ticks that mean the message has been read by the owner.
Narendra did not return the message, nor did he come out to catch up with her, nor did he send Cliantha home if she asked her to come home. Though what Cliantha expected, her husband came and went out to catch up with her and said if Jihan's words should not be put to heart or over-thought.
However, no. She was alone outside the room in JIhan's hospital and worse if Cliantha was not allowed to enter the room because the door was locked from inside.
"Yes, you have changed now. Can you really live without me? Said you couldn't live without me, Mom. Where's your proof of that?" lirih Cliantha who was sitting pensively in the front seat of Jihan's hospital room.
"If that's true, then you let me go. So, from now on I will try to stay away from you so that I can also learn how when we are truly apart someday. Yes, maybe that time will indeed happen," softened Cliantha's inner voice while appearing step by step to leave the place.
"I feel like you're being away from me" Cliantha said. Suddenly something surrounded his body. Hugged her tightly and pulled Cliantha's body back until it stuck to something behind her.
"Have you slept?" the voice of someone whispered behind his ear.
"Not yet" replied Cliantha. Now, she turned around to look at her husband.
"Mas, I feel that I and Jihan should have been separated" Cliantha suggested.
"Why? You feel jealous when I'm around him" said Narendra.
Cliantha shook her head, "That's not the main reason, it's just that I'm afraid that she'll continue to be hysterical when she sees me" Cliantha said.
"Why afraid? If you're not who she's accusing you of, you're trying to convince her that you're not like that, aren't you? Not even asking to separate or even make the accusation more protracted and forever no justification," suggested Narendra.
"I don't need any justification, I don't need any confession of my right or wrong. It is enough of me and my Lord to know what really happened that day" Cliantha replied with a wise word.
"So, I beg you, please separate us. I'm the one who left or Jihan who moved out of this house, please, that's her choice" Cliantha said.
Narendra rewinded his body, "If it is like that, you seem to want to create a distance between us. After you are separated, automatically I will also find it difficult to divide the time to meet the two of you," said Narendra.
"No, it's not hard at all. Mas can come at any time to me, I will also come directly to you if you need me," sturdy Cliantha wants a farewell home.
"But,–" denied Narendra who did not want that.
"Mas, it's for the sake of all of our sanity. This separation is not the end of our journey of love and marriage, we are not separated in the true sense" Cliantha explained.
Narendra drew his face closer, staring fixedly at Cliantha's eyes to make sure that what he said was not a lie, "But, it's like just delaying the breakup, Cliantha. I hope what you say is true, we're not really parting in the true sense."
"Wallahu nature, Mas. All I leave to Him, we just carry out the destiny that is written there," said Cliantha.
That night, they spent a warm night together. No one knows, though, if the beautiful night was to be the last or not because after that night there would be a great change since they decided to separate the residence between the two wives from a man named Narendra.
