Love Me Please, Mas Duda
02 - The Future is Over

Dea opened her eyes and found herself in a white room. He remembers having an accident with his best friend, Shezi.

Dea blinked her eyes. He looked around him. A nurse came to him.

"Miss, are you conscious?" Ask the nurse who was taken by Dea.

"I'll get a doctor!" The nurse left the room and called a doctor.

Shortly a doctor came and examined Dea's condition. The injury is not so bad. Just a cut on the left temple.

"If you're feeling better, you can get up, miss." The doctor then left Dea.

Dea who still looks weak immediately woke up when she remembered what happened to her earlier. He wants to see Shezi and find out how his best friend is doing. Then, what about the victim who was in the car hit by Shezi?

All of those things stirred up Dea's curiosities that were walking in a limp. Dea came out of the IGD room and saw several police officers standing not far from there.

Dea was still standing while everyone was staring at her.

"That's him who killed my wife!" A man dressed in a neat suit pointed at Dea with his loud voice.

The bewildered Dea could only shake her head. A police officer approached Dea.

"Are you really Midea Lestari?"

"D-yes." Dea was very nervous as the man in the suit kept looking at her.

"I'm sorry if we had to tell you about this given the condition you've just regained consciousness."

"It's-it's okay, sir. What's really going on, sir?" Finally Dea asked.

"Did Miss remember having an accident?"

"remember. My friend was driving. He hit a car. Then, what about the condition of the person in the car, sir?"

The police officer could only sigh because it seemed like Dea was still confused by what had happened.

"The mobi you hit belongs to Madam Nola Hutama. And they are his family."

Dea glanced at the man in the suit earlier and a middle-aged woman who was crying.

"Mrs Nola died on the way to the hospital."

Dea shut her mouth in disbelief. He shook his head and cried. He felt what the victim's family was feeling.

"Miss Midea, you should come with us to the office. You are being held on charges of negligence leading to death. You've been driving without heeding traffic signs. And drive at a pretty high speed. Please come with us!"

"No! I'm not the one driving that car! My friend is driving, sir!" Dea tried to defend herself.

"Please explain in the office, miss. We are just carrying out orders. Come!"

Dea still can't believe what's going on right now. He hoped that if all this was a dream and he would wake up soon.

Dea looked at the two people who were still standing there and looked at him sharply.

"Bring him and the law to weight!" The man said coldly to Dea.

"He's already made my daughter lose her mother. Then he also has to lose his future" the man continued.

Dea who was about to step along with the police officer suddenly turned around and approached the two men.

"I'm not the culprit! It wasn't me who hit your wife's car!" Dea held the man's hand and pleaded.

"Please trust me! I didn't do it! I can't even drive. Please believe me, sir!" Dea pleaded with eyes that had been bathed by tears.

The man named Shady Hutama brushed off Dea's hand. "Bring him in, sir! You have to bear all the consequences of your actions. Get ready!"

Dea shook her head strongly. The two police officers grabbed Dea by the arm and took her out.

Shady stared furiously at Dea's departure.

"Shy..." Shady's mother's soft voice made her turn her head.

"Yes, Mommy"

Shady laughed cynically. "Where there is a thief who confesses. Let's see if he really did it or not!"

For three days Dea was at the police station. Since then, Dea has said nothing but her innocent self-defense.

Dea has explained everything that the driver of the car is Shezi, his best friend. The police have another answer.

"Your best friend is Shezi Kalendra? He gave the information to the investigators. He said you forced him to borrow his latest car."

Even when Dea asks to meet with Shezi, a shocking fact returns.

"Miss Shezi is not in Indonesia. When the accident happened, he was preparing to go abroad. Everything related to his departure has been confirmed, and it's true."

Dea's body sagged when she heard everything about Shezi.

"Is this Shezi? Are you the one who did all this? But once you made me lose my future. I have to bury my dreams!" Inner Dea cried out in screams with clenched hands.

"Miss, you better confess. That way, your punishment could be lighter."

Dea looked at an officer who asked her to confess.

"I won't admit what I didn't do! Until I won't admit it because I'm not the culprit!" dea shouted with anger clearly visible in her eyes.

Meanwhile, in a different room, Shady hears Dea's scream. Shady gritted his teeth hearing Dea's scream.

"How is this, sir?" ask an officer to Shady.

"Remain as it should. I'm sure he'll confess someday. If he doesn't want to confess, all the evidence points to him, and he's the main culprit!" shady said with his sharp eyes.

A month has passed, Shady and Nola's daughter who survived the deadly accident is now cared for by her grandmother, Nilam. Since birth Naura is actually not a fussy baby and likes to cry. But for some reason lately Naura often cries until Nilam can no longer calm the tiny baby.

"What's wrong with you, son? Did you miss your mother?" said Nilam while holding his grandson.

Until Shady returns from the office, Naura continues to cry.

"What's up, Mom? Why is Naura crying?" ask Shady who's worried.

"Mother doesn't know either, Bang. Mom gave him milk but he didn't want to. Mother handed it to the nurse, but instead her cries grew louder."

Shady seemed to think. "Discover, Mom! Let Shady carry."

Shady raised his hand and prepared to receive baby Naura. And sure enough, the cry of the tiny baby immediately stopped when it got a warm embrace from the father.

"Looks like he misses his papa," murmured Nilam.

"You should spend a lot of time with your daughter, Bang. Poor Naura. She's already lost her mother, does she have to lose her father?"

Nilam's words made Shady stunned. He realized that since the birth of Naura, he was increasingly busy with work in order to forget the pain of his wife's death.

"Don't you get married again? Give a mother to Naura. Pity your daughter if she has to grow up without a mother's affection."

"Nobody can replace Nola, ma'am."

"Mom knows. There is no one like Nola. But think of Naura's future."

Shady seemed to think for a moment. "If anyone should be responsible for everything that happened to Naura, then .. there is only one person who should make up for it."

"Eh? Who do you mean, Bang?" Nilam seemed to have scrunched his forehead.

"That girl! He should be in charge of what happened with Naura!"
