I Found Love With You
113. Threats

“Teh, wake up Tea...” Alena shook Sadiyah's shoulder slowly.

Sadiyah gasped feeling Alena's hand shaking her shoulder.

“Eh...Len..when to?”.

Saw Sadiyah's eyes are swollen due to a lot of crying and lack of sleep.

“Teh, you should take a break first. Let Lena take care of Aa here.” Alena could not bear to see the condition of Sadiyah who looked very tired. Her brother had not been conscious since yesterday.

“Gak, Len. Tetuh want to wait until Aa wakes up.”

Alena understood what Sadiyah felt today because she had felt it when Kagendra was in almost the same condition when it was abandoned Sadiyah.

“Len, titip Aa first. Teteh want to go to the bathroom for a while just want to wudhu.” pinta Sadiyah reluctantly. It seems he did not want to leave Kagendra for even a second.

Alena nodded her head. He looked at Sadiyah's back which looked very tired. Her tears melted without her being able to take it anymore. He felt very sad to see the condition of his brother who was not yet awake and also his brother-in-law.

“A..build A. Aa does not pity Aras and Aris also the same Iyah Tea. Poor Tea Iyah A, from yesterday has not rest waiting for Aa to wake up. Aa twins also cry constantly because they can not meet their father.” Alena wiped away the tears flowing with the back of her hand.

“A..Lena wants to confide in Aa. There's a guy who pisses Lena off. Aa must quickly realize in order to protect Lena. If there is no Aa, then how will Lena. Cepet wake up dong A!”

Alena continued to talk to her brother in disjointed sentences because her tight chest held back the crying.

Two days Alena accompanied Sadiyah waiting for Kagendra. Because there are teaching schedules and meetings that cannot be left behind, with a heavy heart Alena must go to the campus.

“A, Lena said yes. Lena has a teaching schedule and meetings. Don't be angry, A. After Lena finished teaching and meeting, Lena must have come here again. If Lena's here again, Aa should be up. Lena doesn't want to know anymore, anyway Aa has to wake up. If Lena's right here Aa hasn't woken up, Lena's angry.”

After threatening Kagendra, Alena kisses Kagendra on the forehead and hugs him.

“Lena darling Aa. Do not stay in Lena.” tears re-seep from the eye fertilizers Alena.

Alena hugged Sadiyah tightly. “That's patient yes, Tea. God willing, I will wake up soon. We do’a continue.” he strengthens his only brother-in-law while strengthening his own heart. The two of them hugged each other with tears breaking.

“Lena go first yes. If Lena's business is done, Lena's here again. Don't forget to take care of your health too. Lena go yes, Tea. Assalamu’alaikum.” Alena pampit.

“Wa’alaikumsalam.” Sadiyah replied wirily with a face that looks very tired. The trace of tears on her cheeks was clearly visible.

Three days had passed but Kagendra was still unconscious. Sadiyah almost never left Kagendra. He just moved from his seat to pray, to the bathroom and eat.

“Dad, you better go home and rest first at home. Let Mother and Abah take care of Endra here.” Indriani felt sorry for Sadiyah who since Kagendra finished surgery almost never moved from her seat to the left of Kagendra's bed.

“It's okay, Mom. Iyah has not calmed down that Aa is still unconscious. Let Iyah accompany Aa here.”

“Please Aras and Aris at home if Father and Mother are away from them.”

Sadiyah was shocked because she had just remembered Faras and Faris. Since Kagendra suffered a disaster, his focus was poured on Kagendra. He ignored himself by not eating regularly and also lack of sleep.

“Bu, but Iyah wants to be here. Iyah was afraid that Aa would not wake up forever. I have not apologized to Aa. Iyah sinned in anger and left Aa. Iyah was afraid that Iyah would no longer be able to be....” Sadiyah could not continue her sentence, she began to sob because she was no longer strong enough to withstand her sadness and worries.

“Sttt. We do’ Aa so quickly wake up.” Indriani hugged Sadiyah tightly. Her tears dropped, leaving a trail on her cheeks.

*******

Looks like Kagendra is still reluctant to open his eyes. Almost every time, Sadiyah spoke whatever she wanted to say next to Kagendra who was still closing her eyes.

“Assalamu’alaikum, Tea.” Alena gave her greetings to her sister-in-law. After two days of completing all his work on campus, he immediately slid back to accompany his brother.

“Wa’alaikumsalam.” reply Teh Iyah lirih. His face looked more and more haggard.

“Aa still not awake?” ask Alena.

Sadiyah could only shake her head.

“That's patient yes, Teh.” Alena gently rubbed Sadiyah's back. “Teteh already eaten?”

Sadiyah just nodded her head. It seemed like his energy to speak was completely depleted

“Teteh lie down first on the sofa. Let Lena take care here.” Fresh Alena. He could not bear to see the face of Sadiyah who looked very tired.

Suddenly Sadiyah hugged Alena and buried her face on the shoulder of her sister-in-law. There was a sound of crying restrained Sadiyah. Alena returned her embrace while gently rubbing Sadiyah's back.

“Teteh fear, Len. Tetuh fears that A Endra will never wake up again.”

Hearing Sadiyah's words, Alena's tears came back broken. The two of them hugged each other while crying.

A full day yesterday Alena accompanied Sadiyah and today with a heavy heart Alena must return to her campus. He was annoyed by the meetings and guidance he had to do. If he complies with his wishes, it feels like he wants to take leave just like he used to accompany Kagendra who was down. But now he is no longer the assistant lecturer he used to be. This time he was a permanent lecturer who could not casually take a day off.

Sadiyah returned alone to accompany Kagendra who seemed to still enjoy her long sleep. he will restart routine activities that have been done almost a week is talking to Kagendra even though there is no response from the person he was talking to.

As of this moment, after finishing reading some of the leaves of the Qur’an, Sadiyah began to talk again to Kagendra as before. Although Kagendra never once responded to what Sadiyah said, but he still spoke to Kagendra.

There were many things Sadiyah said to Kagendra. He tells the beginning of her pregnancy with twins, then the weight of pregnancy with two fetuses in the stomach, carrying two, the struggle when she gave birth and raised Faras and Faris until her feelings are still the same since the time before leaving Kagendra until now.

“A...build A! don't sleep on. If Aa sleeps continuously, then Aa can not play with Aras and Aris. Pity them at home, waiting for their father to invite them to play into the forest. Iyah apologize if when you play in the forest, Iyah invites them to go home. From now on, Iyah will no longer forbid Aa to play along with them.”

There was still no positive response from Kagendra. His body still did not move at all. Only the sound of a heart detector is heard in this treatment room as a sign that Kagendra's life is still in his body.

“If Aa sleeps like this, don't blame Aras and Aris later looking for a new father who wants to invite them to play together. Would it be Aa Ridho if they had a new father?” Sadiyah tried her luck by starting to talk about the new father candidates for Faras and Faris.

Sadiyah began to get upset and frustrated because there had been many things he said to Kagendra but did not get a response at all.

Sadiyah began to gently beat Kagendra's left arm which was freed from the infusion hose.

“If Aa is stubborn like this, do not blame Iyah if Iyah looking for a new husband Aa replacement. I want to start looking for him today. Iyah count to three, if Aa does not wake up, Iyah want to go find a new husband and father for Aras and Aris. One...two...three...” Sadiyah began to threaten Kagendra.

Sadiyah looked at Kagendra's body which was still motionless.

“A..This serious father. Aa still stubbornly won't wake up? Aa has no pity on Iyah, Aras and Aris. Aa evil...” tears flowed back profusely on Sadiyah's cheek.
