Hugging Longs
Chapters. 4
“Compense Danny.” Mayang said that one day after the accident happened to Danny, to make Danny lie in a coma.
Sara's surprised. Why didn't Danny ask her for that. Even Mayang, his own mother-in-law. Danny doesn't love him, but at least Danny has to say it.
“Also, Aunt please, give back what should have belonged to Danny. Our family has kindly taken you in, raised you, sent you to school. Isn't that enough? Why should you also snatch what should belong to Danny?” Very striking the sentence that Mayang said. Made Sara swallow her cheek.
If asked, Sara did not want that to happen either. Why should the entire assets of the Dharmendra family be diverted in his name. Which made Danny hate him.
Jayadi Dharmendra, the kind-hearted man who helped her, took her out of the accident and did not even seek her consent in advance regarding the transfer of ownership rights.
“Good, Aunt.” There was nothing he could do but obey. For Danny's sake he did all this.
“One more Aunt ask of you.”
Sara took a deep breath. He looked down, waiting for what Mayang wanted to ask. Though it is not his fault if the late Jayadi even gave the wealth of the Dharmendra family to him. Not giving it, but leaving it.
Danny, the only son who will inherit the fortune doesn't even care. Danny's days are spent just on having fun rather than helping manage his family's business. Danny doesn't even care. His daily life is just for fun and playing women.
Upset, and to give a deterrent effect to Danny, Jayadi transferred all ownership of Venus Hotel on behalf of Sara. If Danny wants to get back the Venus Hotel, he must comply with his late father's request. She was married and married to Sara.
Danny refused hard at that time. But Mayang, continuing to persuade him, influenced his mind until Danny's hatred of Sara arose. Mayang, who is not willing to collect the girl inherited Dharmendra's wealth, trying to find a way to be able to take back what is his from the hands of Sara.
“Leave our home.”
Sara exhaled a long breath while holding her chest that was painful when she recalled her conversation with Mayang.
Lucky Mayang is still a little compassionate to him by giving him a little money for his living expenses alone in this city.
With that money he rented a small contract he lived in with an old woman he met hanging out in the streets. Then he helped and he gave me a ride. With his working salary, he could also feed the old woman.
Sara smiled wryly considering that. It feels like his heart now.
But somehow it's not that easy he can forget and erase his feelings for Danny. Liking him for a long time, even loving him in silence does not necessarily make the journey of love smooth even though his heart is sincere.
Luck sided with him when the late Jayadi betrothed him to Danny. But that luck did not last long. Now he has to bury his feelings for Danny. Forget it, then go disappear. After all, his feelings were just clapping one hand.
“Spirited Sara. Your fate was not so lucky.” Sara could only encourage herself. Gradually, as time passed, he was sure that everything would be fine.
***
In the afternoon Sara swapped her job of distributing food to VIP patients with one of her co-workers. He did it to avoid meeting Danny. Because Danny hates seeing his face.
Not once, as long as Danny was still being cared for Sara very much avoided meeting the man. He was self-conscious that his presence was undesirable. Both in that family and in Danny's own life. Moving away is the best path to take.
Let Danny live his new life without his presence on the man's side. He will give up his love, bury his feelings as deeply as possible.
“I'm home.” He said as he pushed the door leaf of a small house that only has one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen that blends with the dining room. He finished his work that afternoon, then went home on foot. Because it happens that the distance of his rented house with the hospital is not too far.
“Oma makes soup for you. You haven't eaten yet, have you?” Oma Widya smiled as she stirred up the soup that began to emit a distinctive aroma of fragrant soup. After it matured, Oma Widya poured the soup into a bowl. Then take him to the dining table which is quite close.
Followed by Sara. Take a seat next to Oma Widya. The dining room only had two chairs.
“The soup must be delicious. The aroma alone has been appetizing,” said Sara semringah.
“Come, eat. You're hungry, right?” Oma Widya scoops the rice, filling Sara's empty plate. Put the plate in front of Sara.
“Loh, Oma not coming to eat?”
Oma Widya smiled, staring at Sara sparklingly. There was a feeling of urgency every time I saw Sara. Young girl living a kara. She was a nobody, but Sara sincerely helped her. Covered it, cared for it, fed it, even treated it like a family of his own. Thousands of thanks go to his heart for God having met a girl like Sarah.
“Oma is full, son. Seeing you are happy, Oma is full enough,” said Oma Widya.
“Oma ..” With a smile, Sara reached out her hand. Grabbing the fingers of Oma Widya into his grasp. Grasping those wrinkled fingers with warmth.
“Even if Oma is full, Oma must still eat. I don't want to until Oma gets sick. In this world, only Oma I have. I have no one but Oma. So, Oma came to eat with me huh?” he said lovingly.
Oma Widya nodded slowly. Then take one plate, fill the plate with rice and soup made. They savorfully ate the meal accompanied by a casual chat that afternoon.
There was gratitude in Sara's heart when God brought her together with Oma Widya who was then stranded in the streets, had no direction and purpose. His heart moved, feeling pity for the old woman. Although he does not know her, he is sure that Oma Widya is a good person. And now only Oma Widya who became friends when happy and sad. Oma Widya became his friend to share his joys and sorrows.
While elsewhere.
Sitting leaning back on the head of the bed, Danny's mind stroked. Between the dream she had and the reality of her domestic life with Sara.
There was relief because finally the marriage that he never wanted ended.
But for some reason there was another feeling that slipped silently into his heart. Suddenly he felt lost if he recalled the memories of his time with Sara before the wedding took place. When they were still in school.
Sara was always there for him, helping him serve him, going wherever he walked. Sara is like her shadow. Although sometimes he was fed up at that time, but did not deny, he needed Sara beside him.
And now, Sara was no longer beside him, disappearing from her shadow. He secretly felt lost, but denied it. Because Sara's not the kind of woman she wants. Those with minimal criteria like Tania. Beautiful, fashionable, graceful, intelligent. At the very least, a woman with such criteria would not embarrass him.
“Danny ..”
The daydream was broken as the door squeals opened, followed by the sound of Mayang entering the nursery.
“Doctor said tomorrow you can go home,” said Mayang while sitting on the edge of the bed.
“Sara has restored your rights. Our family lawyer just gave this file to Mama,” he added while putting a map on Danny's lap.
There was no response from Danny. He was still silent, looking at the map on his lap. But in her eyes was the shadow of Sara's face.
“Are we separated, Sara?” his murmur was soft with a sad face.
