..."You can cry but don't overdo it. You won't know how people who love you are sick to see you grieve." - Nana...
...…...
"Lea"
Lea looked up to get Al who had just finished bathing, Al sat down beside the gurney tightly grasping Lea's hand.
"Al"
"Hm?"
"Fear" Chirp Lea.
"It's me, you calm down"
Lea had already come to her senses from her criticism two hours ago. With an unclear plan. Makes Al panic.
"No, I beg you, Lid"
"Please, no, I'm not begging you"
Al approached Lea, looking at her girl who was rummaging indistinctly. "Lea, get up hey" Al patted Lea's cheeks gently.
"No, don't.... " Lea woke up with sweat drenching her temples. His breath hunts up and down. This happened again in his dream.
"Lea" Call Al.
Lea closed her eyes for a while, twitching her adjusted her eyes to the light, needing a few flashes until she finally refocused. His breathing was still hunting, the events in his dream still vividly remembered.
The smell of the drugs and the white state, made Lea realize that she was now in the hospital.
He tried to sit, but his arm was held back. Staring to the right got Al who told him to put himself to sleep.
"Sleep first, you haven't recovered. I called the doctor for a second" Al pressed the button on Lea's bed.
Before long, the doctor and a couple of sisters came. Asking Lea's condition, there is a pain, or stitches in his stomach are problematic. Leah answered only as she was. The doctor came out, and so did Al who went inside.
"Want a drink?" Lea nodded, her throat very dry now.
"Slow down" Helped Lea sit down, and gave Lea a glass of water.
"Al"
"Yes?"
"Sit here" Shifted his body so Al could sit next to him.
Al was happily sitting next to Lea. Bringing her girl into his arms. A miss? He misses Lea, with the scent of Lea, with the cuteness of Lea.
They fell silent, Lea who was enjoying the rubbing on her hair, leaning on the chest of Al's field. Al enjoys the scent of Lea, although Lea hasn't bathed for a few days. But the mother cleans Lea all the time.
"l.. Lidya's not gonna be here, is she? Lidya won't kill Lea again, will she?"
Al shook his head, hugging Lea's trembling body again. So much of Lea's trauma? Especially until a dream.
"So, there's Al here, Lea will be safe as Al okay?"
…
Lea's condition has improved, today he was allowed to go home by a doctor, after two weeks in the hospital.
But there was a slight change in Lea, she changed a little especially towards new people. Usually Lea quickly gets along with others, but this time she regresses a bit.
Maybe trauma, indeed every night Lea always dreamed of the incident. The doctor said Lea had psychic trauma.
Not just physical but psychic. Al who was listening to that felt angry at Lidya. Look now at the state of Leah that is far from what it used to be.
But what can I do, the culprit is dead...
…
Running the car to the apartment. They went straight to the apartment. Mom and Dad are already going there. The two of them couldn't go to the hospital because there was business.
Up to the apartment, parked the car. In the parking lot coincides with Rika and Amel who have just arrived.
"Al! Leah!" Call Amel.
"Look Ma, Bun" Al said, letting the two of them in.
…
Leah stood on the balcony, looking ahead. Let the wind blow his face. The incident is still very much remembered. Even like a broken radio that keeps on spinning.
"Why are you lakainin' this Lid?" Lea Said.
Al looked at the girl in pity, from earlier Al stood behind Lea leaning his body on the door. His gaze was continuously staring at Lea who was turning her back.
"Lea"
No response from Lea.
"Lea" approached Lea and hugged her from behind.
"Still thinking about yesterday?" Lea nodded slowly.
"Why is Lidya lacquered with Leah, what is Leah's fault? Is it because Lea married Al? It's not our will either" Lea cried again. It hurts to be betrayed by his best friend.
Al twisted Lea's body, gently removing Lea's tears with her thumb. "Stop! Please don't cry anymore, I'm not strong Le, see you are crying almost every night. I can't see you crying in silence. Stop ya don't cry anymore" pecking both eyes Lea. Stare within.
"But-"
"Shut" Cut Al, put the index finger on Lea's tiny lips, Al shook his head as if he didn't want to listen to Lea's words again.
Not that he did not want to, but Al could not stand the sound of Lea holding back the cry.
"Look at me! Promise huh? Promise never to cry again, I don't want these eyes to tear out. Except for tears of happiness" Al stared at Lea's two eyes that were so cute.
"I know... Everything is not easy for you to escape, but do not hurt your body too, with you crying silently. That won't be a problem. This is the last time I see you cry, except for a happy cry"
"And where was the old Leah, the angry Leah. Lea likes to fight with Al. Lea who hates the annoying nature of Al. Whereabouts? I want you to be the old Leah, not the present one. Wanna?" Al looked sincerely at Lea.
Lea nodded, her eyes teary listening to Al's words. Yep! Although it's difficult Lea has to be able to change. Can't keep going, can't be whiny, can't be sad.
The spirit!
Leah hugged Al. "Believe Al"
"Together, the promise has changed?" Al pointed his little finger.
Lea nodded, linking her pinky to Al. "promise"
Tonight, under the night sky. Lea and Al enjoyed the night together. After not being together for a long time.
Don't forget to smile even if your heart is fragile.
Don't forget to be grateful for today. Because what you have now is not necessarily someone else's.
