51. Me And You
...51. Me And You...
Danang
His mind became increasingly unsettled. Gayatri and Richard's engagement is underway. But from then on he sat uncomfortable.
“Mas ...” The whisper of Aksa sitting next to him.
“Better Mas Danang nyari Mbak Rei.”
He nodded. Then leave the guest room that has been decorated elegantly themed rose gold.
Mama also worried about him because at a glance saw Kirei walking fast like a hurry. But I haven't asked and followed him.
“Better you search, Nang.” Mom's message from a moment ago.
Trying to call her phone back. But it is not active. It had been almost an hour since the girl had lost her sight.
He tried to check the presence of the car through the GPS application. And surprisingly, the car wasn't in this house.
As fast as lightning he drove Aksa's car to the point where the girl's car was. Even though the rain was so heavy. He doesn't ignore it.
What makes it even more pushy is when it arrives at its destination. A police patrol car was there. Then his wife's car was maroon-colored it was seen ringsek the back and left side.
His mind is getting worse.
He got out of the car through the rain.
“Pak, where is my wife?” He asked as he approached the patrolman wearing a raincoat. His eyes blinked away the raindrops that hit.
“You ...”
“I'm her husband who owns this car,” he rubbed his face. “Where is my wife, Sir?”
“My wife has been taken to hospital ...” The patrol police officer mentioned a private hospital not far from the scene of the accident.
He doesn't care about his clothes getting soaked. The car that is driven is traveling at full speed.
Arriving at the hospital, he parked the car haphazardly. As soon as the step down, he immediately turned to the information center.
“Curban accident where!” Exclaims.
“Cap accident ...”
“Newly,” cut it fast.
“IGD, Sir.”
He ran towards the Emergency Installation (IGD). Repeatedly wiping his face.
“Sus,” calls her when she crosses paths with a nun who just came out of the IGD room.
“My wife ... accident victim ...”
“Sorry, Sir. Still being treated by a doctor. Please wait a moment. Please Mr. take care of his administration first.” Said the nurse.
Almost an hour has passed. He sat in front of the IGD. His soaked clothes were almost drying out leaving a cold that was so piercing the skin. But the cold was nothing to him compared to the condition of the wife who is still unclear news.
His mind and heart were completely raging. Million asks. A million flavors were hanging in his mind.
He lowered his head. So deep. Staring at the white ceramic floor that he tapped. There's a water trail there. His sight slowly blurred. Leave crystal grains that are ready to slide at any time.
He quickly shrank the corner of his eye, when the door of the IGD chamber opened.
He hurried over to the man in the white suit.
“How is my wife's condition, Doc?” Ask haste.
“Quiet, Sir. My father's wife we handled well. Condition's stable. But ... we apologize. Can't save your wife's fetus. Your wife has bleeding and miscarriage ..”
He suddenly heard it. But he strengthened himself again.
“My wife ...”
“In the meantime we move to the treatment room.”
He's still dumbstruck. Even the doctor and nurse had left her. The clear liquid finally escaped as well.
According to police in TKP lucky car drivers in marun helped by the car security system. The air bag functions optimally to protect vital areas such as the head, neck and chest. So that the injury to his wife is just trauma and bruising. Coupled with a loud shock resulting in bleeding on her uterus.
The driver who hit him from behind was seriously injured. He had to undergo a leg fracture surgery.
Now the girl has been transferred to the VIP treatment room. His face was pale.

Mama
He, Papa and Aksa immediately follow to the hospital when news of Kirei's accident. Arriving there his daughter-in-law was unconscious.
Papa patted Danang's shoulder sitting on the bedside chair twice, “Sabar .. not yet sustenance. May God give you a better substitute.” Papa's words strengthen Danang. Papa knew sadness was enveloping his first child. For having to lose a child in Kirei's womb.
While she shrank the corner of her eye. He didn't know what it was really like? A thousand questions wanted him to reveal. But now is not the right time.
“You better change first, Nang? Aksa brought you clothes.” He rubbed his son's back. Wet clothes. Damp. Randomly. But still holding his wife's hand tightly. He could see Danang's look of anxiety on Kirei.
“You must be strong .. must be healthy. If you're sick, who will take care of your wife?” The drill. He was standing next to Danang.
“Our child is gone, Ma.” Danang lirih.
“Yes, Mama understands. But Kirei's health as yours is more important now. True, said Papa, God has not given you children for now. But that doesn't mean forever. Will definitely be replaced with a better and on time.”
That day also papa told Aksa to take care of everything related to the accident. The other victim who was none other than the hitman agreed to make peace. With treatment and other disadvantages are fully borne by them.

Danang
“Sayang ..” Pleased speech. He saw his wife's hand start moving. His eyes began to open slowly.
But the next second precisely the reaction shown by Kirei was different. The girl shook her head. The look in his eyes was so implied by disappointment and anger.
“Honey, you still feel pain? Over where? I'll call the doctor, yes.” He will also move from his seat.
The girl said, “Go.”
“Go .. shouldn't I and you be like this .. shouldn't I and you meet." Pause. "It shouldn't be me and you getting married .. it shouldn't be ..” Kirei was whining while shaking his head.
DEG
“What do you mean?” It cringes. I don't know what his wife is talking about. Me ... you?
“Go away!! (Go!)” His wife was hysterical.
“What mak ..”
“Killer!” Kirei growled as he clenched his powerful hand.
“You all killers.”
He increasingly did not understand the sentence that came out of the girl. Trying to calm him down. Catch it to provide comfort. But it was the rejection that was obtained. The girl thrashed around not wanting to be touched at all.
“OK .. okay. I won't touch you,” her hand raised in the air. Relented.
While the girl sobbed. While continuing to say, “Go away .. go ... go away ....”
He thought Kirei was traumatized. So it takes time to be alone.
“I'll sit on the sofa,” he said. While rubbing his face riled up.
“Leave me alone ...!”
“Why you?”
“Leave me alone!” The girl screamed in frustration.
“We both lost our future son, Rei. But this is not how you deal with it.” His word.
“I don't care."
“And I'm not pregnant with your child! Remember that! Son of a murderer descendant!” The girl tightened her jaw. His eyes are staring at him.
He could no longer stand the girl's chatter. Although he is also ill it is said ‘son of a killer’. Calming yourself by getting out of her treatment room may be better.
He called the nurse to accompany his wife. Then call mom. Tells the story of what happened to Kirei.
Then sitting in the canteen chooses a smoke-free area. He lit a cigarette he had just bought. His mind is in chaos.
Since marrying the girl, he never smoked again. But this time he really needed calm. Soul shaken.

Kirei
His body was crouching on the hospital bed. His eyes were shining. Sometimes his tears would fall.
“Eat first, yes, Mbak ...” Said the nurse who Danang told to take care of his wife.
The sister approached him.
His eyes pretended to be closed.
“Kalo Mbak Kirei does not want to eat, later can not go home quickly you know. You so slow healing,” Sister was trying to persuade him.
But he still flinch. Pretend asleep.
“Alright, I stay. But if you need something, you can push the bedside button.” The nurse told him before leaving.
When the sound of the door closing indicated the nurse had left, she opened her eyes again.
His chest twitches sickly. This time his tears were flowing in the river. His shoulders were shaking violently. He lost his beloved father by force. But he now has to lose his love for a reason.

Mother
He and Ken are in a hurry. How not to panic, got word from Danang that his son had an accident.
Just last month Kirei was discharged from the hospital due to the coverage disaster. Now I have to go to the hospital again because of an accident.
“Nda ..” Serge Ken, “Mother can't cape.” Remembering Ken when your breath began to pant because he did not care about his health. “Munda ..” Ken reminded him many times.
But it also did not reduce his anxiety who wanted to immediately see the condition of his daughter.
Arriving in front of Kirei's treatment room, he saw Danang sitting there.
“Lho, Mas Danang is here. How's Kirei?”
“Sorry, Nda. I failed to keep it ...” Danang said softly in a desperate tone.
“How did the accident happen?” Ken Sahut.
Danang looked weak. Kuy face.
Open the treatment room door slowly. Her daughter huddled to sleep against the door. Blanketed to his shoulders. But he knew, Kirei wasn't really asleep. The sound of sobs is clearly heard.
“Sayang.” When he approached the bed. Then rubbed his son's head full of tenderness.
Kirei's shoulders were shaking.
“Sshh ... why?” He could feel a great sadness enveloping his son.
Finally broke Kirei's cry as well. Rotating his position trying to get up and immediately scatter him.
“Sshh ... already ... already, yes.” He rubbed Kirei's back.
“Ikhlaskan ..” He knows how sad it is to lose a growing fetus in the womb. Because he also lost. Ever experienced.
“Pending sure, someday will be replaced better.”
Kirei just shook his head.
“Rei .. want to go home, Nda. Don't want to be here.”
He frowned.
“Iya, Mommy knows. But it has to heal first. How to go home. Food alone is antegurin,” he saw the ration of food on the nightstand that is still intact and covered in crepe plastic. The mark has not been touched at all.
“Eat, yes ... Mother bribe.” Persuade mother.

Kenichi
“That's why I never agreed, you marry her!” The base is full of emotion.
He kicked the park chair into a shift. Exploiting emotions that are mounting. After hearing Danang's explanation.
“Lo family related to the death of our father.”
“However that history will never be forgotten. History cannot be erased! You snatched our father forcibly!”
Rushed to leave Danang who was still standing glued.
It doesn't matter who it is now. Because the happiness of his only puppet sister is his priority.

Danang
His mind's getting fucked up. He can't sleep. Always awake in front of his wife's treatment room.
On the second day his wife refused his presence. With the presence of his family. On the third day, the condition was still the same. He could only stare at the door of his treatment room without being able to go inside.
There's nothing he can do. When he forced a meeting, his wife refused. Although he was expelled, denounced, unwanted but he believes Kirei's condition is unstable. He is still responsible as a husband to continue to accompany him.
His body leaning against the wall slumped to the floor. He sat with a glare. Hunglai.
Suddenly, his shoulder was rubbed by someone.
“Mas Danang .. forgive Mother's child, yes. He just needs time.”
Mother's voice made her look up. Mother's shady face made her condense a small forced smile.
“Tomorrow Mother will take her home. Mas Danang doesn't mind, does he?”
He shook.
“Mother can talk for a minute?” Mother stood up straight after bowing. Walk in front. Followed by Danang who got up and walked to follow the mother from behind.
They sit in the park.
“That event was a long time ago. Even we are happy now.” Become the opening sentence of mother.
“Kirei may be shaken. Not being able to accept because his father left. That's natural .. because .. we did never tell her.”
Mother breathed into the air. Momentary pause.
“But Mommy has scavenged. Mother knows how your papa position at that time. Not entirely fault is on your papa.”
“You have answers and reasons. Mother has no right to speak here,” Mother closed her eyes.
Dumbfound.
“Slow down, Mommy will talk to Kirei. He just needs time. To accept reality ... to let his father.”
“He's his father's favorite son. So close to them, when his father was gone forever he fell ill. Must be treated in hospital. So the child is shy and likes to stay in the room. It took a long time to bring back the cheerful Kirei again.”
Mother shrank the corner of her eye. Recalling the events of a dozen years ago seemed to evoke bitter memories.
“Even he's determined to be like his father. He also wants to be a journalist. He even chose a communication science major to realize his goals. Though at that time he was accepted into the faculty of medicine.”
The middle-aged woman exhaled her breath slowly. Pounding a glance to neutralize his nasal voice.
“Mas Danang patiently yes ...” Sentence concluded mother before leaving her.
