Let the Heart Choose
Very Tired

Andra was wide-eyed when she saw that Laras had already swung a knife into her hand, fortunately she had come in time.

Andra immediately ran up to Laras and grabbed the knife in his hand,

"Mother why?" asked Andra to throw away the knife and shake the weak body of Laras.

Laras still did not answer, he was still staring blankly ahead. His cheeks formed a small stream.

Andra was increasingly worried about seeing her mother's blank stare,

"Mother, look at Andra Ma! Mother why?" andra asked with a worried look.

"Why do you hide this secret, I foolishly love someone who has ruined my life" said Laras flatly.

Andra hugged Laras tightly, she pecked at the top of her head. Trying to calm his mother's shaken heart. He had previously estimated this.

Not that he doesn't want to be honest, but it hurts too much to know. It's just that Laras is hurting Nada too much, so whether or not, Andra should be able to speak this truth.

Still vividly remembered how his father had thrown his mother into the streets, with a haughty face he laughed out loud in front of them.

What Andra remembers most of his words is that they would not be able to live properly without his help.

Since then he has promised not to ask for his help, even though he is in a bad state.

That was the beginning of their destruction, his mother who could not live without treasure. I have to get used to living simple.

At first Andra can breathe a little relieved, because there is still a little savings for a few months. But back to her mother, she often complained

After his savings were depleted, he was reunited with Kinan who was working at a company.

This is where he first met and returned close to Kinan, when he felt guilty for leaving him just like that.

Andra never visited Kinan while in the hospital, or even just looked at him. Let alone to look at Kinan, even then for his life just mediocre.

Back in the living room, Andra she still hugged her mother tightly.

"Come, same Andra used to be, Mom, have you eaten yet?" andra asked softly and helped her mother to get up.

He stepped up to lead Laras back to his room, and went back outside to take a portion of breakfast.

Not forgetting that he was hiding some sharp objects, he did not want anything to happen to his mother.

It's enough kids getting into the hospital and draining their energy,

"This is the breakfast bu" said Andra offering a plate of fried rice.

Only this food is left in the kitchen, no. There is another menu.

Laras's gaze was still empty, there was no spirit of life, amidst that and Andra's drowsiness.

Tone sat on the chair while staring fixedly at her little daughter who was still asleep, she continued to monitor her chest movements that were up and down regularly.

His brain drifted far away, thinking whether his decision was not burdensome to his children or not?

No one wants a divorce, a little bit will definitely have an impact on his small family. Especially Alif.

Alif is probably asleep at the moment. However, after he woke up and saw the chaos of his little family? Will he be okay?

Nada had tried to stand strong, but her heart was already very tired with all this. He was no longer able to pretend.

Tone stroked the head of her daughter gently, grabbed her little fingers and kissed her slowly.

"Mother miss, son, let's get up. It is morning," said Nada lirih.

Since last night Zaskia is not fussy, or even just waking up to take medicine. Actually Nada was worried, but seeing the breath going up and down made her breathe a little relieved.

A nurse entered Zaskia's room, she took out some tools and checked Zaskia's condition.

Thankfully nothing serious about Zaskia, the nurse only suggested she eat. For his condition to recover immediately.

Nada nodded softly and threw a smile, after the departure of the nun Nada chose to flutter her body.

These few days his mental and brain in squeezed, he forgot some body clean. He took the bag that was on the lower nightstand.

Tone picked up a towel and a change of clothes, he went inside the bathroom toilet. Thankfully, there were no other patients in the room. So that he can freely take a shower.

One by one the fabric that makes the body of Nada he loose, water splashing body and head tired. The flowing water seemed to carry fatigue with it.

Every now and then he saw Zaskia who had no movement, this made Nada as soon as possible to fulfill his obligations.

He stepped up slightly running towards the mushalla not far from Zaskia's room. Tone takes ablution water and performs prayers.

Unknowingly Nada sat down to pray for so long, her tears flowing so profusely down her cheeks. Her lips continued to tremble saying some do'a to her two children and her little family.

After realizing that she left her little daughter for a long time, Nada immediately went to her son's room.

When we got to the front door. Tone eyes perfectly rounded, Zaskia was awake and was engrossed in pulling the infusion cable.

"Son, don't dong" said Nada running towards Zaskia and removing the infusion hose she had pulled from earlier.

Nada threw her shady smile so that her little daughter did not feel sad and cried loudly.

Seemed blood flowing filled the infusion hose, actually Nada began to panic. It's just that he's trying to stay calm.

After the infusion hose was successfully removed by Zaskia, Nada immediately held her little daughter and grabbed the breakfast tray that was already available at the table.

He took Zaskia for a walk outside, slowly Nada bribed a spoonful of porridge into her daughter's little mouth.

On the other hand, right in the sterile room of the hospital. There were some nurses who started checking Alif's condition, their faces looked tense looking at the heart rate machine that was sounding soft.

"What if we call Dr. Satria?" ask one of the nurses.

"The doctor is still not in the room, he will enter the afternoon shift." said one of the nurses.

All the nurses looked at each other, their gazes hard to interpret. They're just nurses and can't take action on emergency patients like this.

"We call the doctor just in case," said another nurse who gave advice.

"Satria's doctor said, this is the patient and no other doctor should interfere" Sister reminded.

After they discussed, they finally decided to contact Satria's doctor. Fortunately, the distance between the doctor's boarding house and the hospital is not so far away, so Satria can come on time.

In a different corner of the city, right in a small, beautiful house next to the highway. There was a man sitting at the dining table, in front of him was a middle-aged woman sitting blankly.

"Mom, there's nothing to think about anymore. Everything is fine." Andra said in a soft voice.

"I didn't mean to make you like this. I just want you to know that mother's behavior is very outrageous with Nada." continued Andra stared fixed bead Laras eyes.

Laras only smiled wryly, he threw a glance outside the house.

"Mom, is it hard to make peace with Nada? She's the wife and mother of my children." Andra tried to explain to her mother.

"Kinan and Nada alike, they ruined my life. One took my other husband my son, all in cahoots with each other." Laras said with a squeaking look.

Andra let out a long sigh, she did not expect that what she explained did not go into her mother's head. He repeatedly massaged his nose to relieve his headache.

It turns out that there is no point in revealing the truth, which is even more dizzy in his making.

"It's up to the mother, the important thing is that the mother should eat and then rest" said Andra offered her breakfast.

Baras was still unmoved, his eyes still staring blankly at Andra.

"Come on Mom, I still have to see the kids" Andra urged her mother to bribe her breakfast.

"Kids?" asked Laras as if he had just realized that he had a grandchild.

Seeing her mother's expression made Andra even more frustrated.

"Mom, I don't have time to play around. Mom eats first, I'll get ready to go to the hospital and work." Andra said.

There was no reply from Laras, he just stared blankly at the plate containing rice and an omelet before him.

Andra went into the bathroom to flutter her body, finished with her bathing activities. He stepped into the room to prepare.

He passed Laras just like that, the corner of his eye stealing a glance towards his mother. It looks like he's starting to play his spoon. Seeing this, Andra's lips were engraved with a faint smile.

Andra checked her phone, no incoming messages from the wife. This made him a little relieved, hopefully there are no problems in the hospital.

After she finished preparing, Andra immediately stepped outside the room. Laras was still sitting at the dining table, still with his blank stare.

"Mother, Andra's going to the hospital first. Do you want to go to the room or is it here?" andra asked showing off her smile and stepped closer.

Andra's eyes widened again when she saw the messy dining table.

"Astaghfirullah Ibu ...."
