In front of the ICU room, a woman was still wearing her work clothes. He seemed to be walking back and forth, occasionally stopping in front of the glass door and trying to look inside. However, it was a pity that what he wanted to see was not visible from the outside.
His hands clasped each other, with anxious faces. Every now and then he looked at his mobile phone he was holding. Confused, the woman had to contact whom.
Chequek.
The door of the room opened, a middle-aged male doctor with partially white hair approached the woman.
"Sorry, the family's mother?" ask the doctor.
"Non-no, Doc. How's the kid doing, Doc? He helped me from the snatch. He's hurt because of me, Doc."
"Sorry, Mom. Critical condition. His right head cracked. Action must be taken immediately. And I need his family's approval."
"Astaghfirullah …." The woman rubbed her face. He really felt guilty about it. He never thought it would all happen this bad.
"Oh yeah, I found the victim's wallet. Maybe there is the identity of the victim, so that the mother can contact her family. Because I don't find a cell phone in his pants pocket." The doctor handed the woman a brown leather wallet.
"Then, excuse me." The doctor stepped away from the woman.
Quickly, the woman opened the contents of Adji's wallet. He only found KTP, ATM, and also STNK motor.
"The house is quite far from here, too" he murmured softly.
"Tante Sindy!" A voice surprised the woman. Someone from a distance walked up to him.
"Adellias? What are you doing here?" ask the woman who turns out to be Sindy.
"Here, my mother used to check-up" replied the woman who had just arrived.
"What's the pain?"
"Not sick, anyway. Just a check-up. Cholesterol, blood, sugar equals uric acid."
"Oh that. Then which mama?"
"Having gone home first on a hoot, I still want to boil medicine. What's my aunt doing here? In the ICU room. Who's sick?"
"Oh, yes. So gini …." Sindy recounted the incident that had just happened to her nephew. And it takes casualties, to critical victims in the ICU room.
"Oh Allah, how is he now?"
"Still inside, Auntie doesn't dare to look."
"Can I see, Auntie?"
Sindy just nodded slowly. They finally entered the room. Seeing a man lying helplessly, an infusion hose and oxygen as well as a bandage on Adji's head made Adelia frown.
"Adji," he said softly when he realized that the one lying on the sickle bed was his sister-in-law.
"You know him, Del?"
Adelia nodded. "He's Mas Sean's sister, Auntie. Doesn't Auntie know?" Adelia came straight to her sister-in-law's body.
"No, his aunt lupaan. After all, meeting him only once is fitting at your husband's funeral. Forget it."
"Oh God, Auntie. His wife knows not yet, right? Maya must be worried about this if she finds out her husband is critical."
"Well that's it, Del. aunt doesn't know where to go. Do you have his wife's phone number?"
Adelia nodded. "But I still want his house. I'll try to go there tell his family."
"Quickly, yes, Del. He had to be operated on. Aunty was afraid that anything would happen to her. The doctor wanted the approval of his family. Let Aunt take care of all her expenses."
"Owh is it, Auntie. Then Auntie take me to the doctor. Let me ask the doctor for surgery immediately. I'm sure her family must want the best, too."
"Yeah, Del. Come on!"
💗💗
Elsewhere Maya is agitated. Lying up on the bed still could not close his eyes. Eleven o'clock in the evening, her husband never came to pick her up. She thought her husband was having fun with other women.
He tried to close his eyes, pulling the blanket up to his chest. His breath slowly drifted. When his eyes were about to be closed, the shadow of his coworker woman who had come home this morning made his heart hurt again.
Bella said she was pregnant. And immediately the husband wanted to help the woman without caring about her jealous self.
Without feeling, the tears that he had previously been able to not come back down, now flowed profusely on his cheeks. Her tears broke, she never thought that the husband she had trusted all this time, had dared to act out of bounds. So all this time what did he do? To the extent that her husband was close to other women he never realized.
Maya gently rubbed her wet face with the back of her hand. His nose began to water. It can't be like this until when? He must act. Wasn't she the legal wife of Adji, while Bella was nothing more than an employee in the papa's office. If he let the two of them continue together, that's where he gave up the husband for another woman.
Maya finally gets out of bed, picks up her jacket and brings back her clothes that were still in the suitcase. Then step out of the room.
"Where are you going?"
Maya gasps at the sound behind her back as she goes down the stairs. He nodded, not looking. He knew his brother would ask a lot if he answered his question.
Maya quickly went down the stairs with the suitcase she had lifted. Denis pursue. At the door, his sister's hand was drawn.
"Where are you going? Wanna gohome? The story was the same, what happened? Adji nyakitin loe?" tanyanya full of search.
"May, I'm the one! I don't want anything to happen to you. Loe adek me, I'm obliged to protect loe."
"Please, Mum. Take off my hands, I'm going home."
Denis took off his grip. Maya rubs her wrist which still hurts due to Denis' grip.
"Yes, I'm anterin loe home."
"No need, Mas. I'm riding grab."
"No! Loe wait here!"
Denis quickly ran towards the stairs, he headed towards the second floor of his room. Change clothes and take the car keys. Then go back down. His sister was still waiting for him to sit on the living room sofa. Actually Maya could have run away, but surely her brother will pursue until he can. And will make the whole house worried.
💗💗
Maya and Denis arrive in front of Adji's house at exactly twelve p.m. The atmosphere of the house is quiet, there is no sign of Adji in there. Because the lights are still out.
"Where's Adji going, May?" ask Denis.
Maya only shook her head weakly, she who happened to have a spare key immediately opened the door of her house. Bringing his suitcase back into the room. Denis tailed to the living room.
Denis looked around his sister-in-law's house. A year ago Adji worked in his father's office, and also went to college. However, he did not see any changes in the house. Still same. Even the chairs they have are still wooden chairs, the floor has not been replaced by ceramics. Walls that began to crack because of the heat have also been seen in every corner of the room. Wall paint was faded color and peeling.
Denis took a deep breath while sitting in the chair waiting for his sister. Shortly after, Maya arrives with a cup of coffee for her sister.
"May, you guys are working, why is this house not renovated anyway? I live in a rich house. If suddenly heavy rain, strong wind, how do you fall?" asked Denis while staring at the roof of his sister-in-law's house.
"Later, Mas. Money's not enough."
"Not enough? What salary does papa love less?"
"Yes Bang Adji is still in college, he does not want to use my money, Mas. So yeah wait for the money he collects first."
"It's so selfish of people."
Maya was silent at her brother's words. Denis sipped coffee made by his sister. Then looked at his sister deeply with a suspicious look.
"Loe's crying, huh? Do you really want to tell me the same story?" tanyanya realized the rubbing on her sister's face.
"No, I'm okay. Loe want to go home what's nginep?"
"Come home, why am I sleeping here. Where's your husband going?"
Denis was suspicious. All he knew was that Adji loved his sister. He never let his brother go anywhere by himself. Especially midnight like this, and Adji doesn't see his nose stem at home.
"You guys got into a fight?"
"Already, Mas. Mending loe went home. It's night. Let me wait for my husband to come home alone."
"How come I'm staying?"
Denis began to feel anxious to see Maya's face that immediately turned pale. He also realized that his sister had not come to dinner with his family at home.
"May." Denis panicked when his sister's body suddenly decayed and limp, his eyes closed. Maya faints in the chair next to her sister.
Denis approached his sister, patting Maya on the cheek. "May, wake up, May. Well, wear out again loe. Just nyusahin. That's not what I brought home. Repot the business here."
Denis took his sister's body into the room. Put it on the bed and then cover it. Then he left the house to order food through an online taxi. Looking for restaurants around which are still open. And it turned out to be difficult, he also intended to go out of the house to find a fried rice merchant who usually still roams. His sister had fainted because she had not eaten.
💗💗
The morning prayer rang, Maya woke up and found next to her there was no figure of the husband. When he collapsed last night, and realized half an hour later, he saw Denis the older brother who was still Faithful waiting for him to wake up with a packet of fried rice on the table. He ate it and went back to sleep after Denis decided to go home. Because she was sure her husband would come back.
Maya sits on the edge of the bed, staring at her face through the reflection of a mirror in her front closet. Her eye bags blackened, she felt like she had failed at being a wife. Until her husband does not come back on the side and prefers other women who are pregnant.
"Bang, where are you?" lirih. Her tears came back. His heart was sliced again, tightness and pain felt.
Drrrtnt …
The sound of the cell phone ringing. Maya flinched and looked up at the nightstand. Her husband's cell phone was there. He approached, and took it. A call from a woman that keeps her husband from returning home.
"Do you want him to call? Isn't Bang Adji with her?" maya's mumbling was upset.
That call he ignored. Put that non-owned phone back on the nightstand. He rushed to the bathroom to wash his face wet with tears.
Maya is not even eager to live her day. Though today is a Sunday, a holiday where usually the day that he and his husband look forward to. A day they never miss to always be together, chatting.
From shopping together, cooking together, farming together, laughing together, sleeping together and even bathing together often they do. The happiness he once felt is now eroded by a storm that suddenly collapses the power of their Love. Maya sighed softly, staring at the laundry piled up in the corner of the bathroom. The husband's clothes are still there. Today is her schedule for washing.
Usually the husband happily helps her to dry clothes, while she prepares breakfast. Again the shadow danced in his mind. Could it be that happiness will spring back into this house again?
