“When will he wake up?” The worried face of Mami Joanna could no longer cover her sata asked the state of her favorite daughter-in-law to her son.
“Sea is fine, Mam...” Noah replied, calming the mother.
Only the mother's breath could Noah hear in response. Although in his heart he was also worried about the health condition of his wife.
The man, who works as a doctor, continues to convince himself that Sea will be fine. In his mind, Noah kept telling himself that his colleagues had done their best.
From the corner of the room where he was now standing, Noah's gaze was attached to the Sea lying unconscious. I expected you to be disappointed, but I didn't expect you to be hysterical like that, Sea.
It feels like Noah's tears will spill back when he remembers how his hysterical wife is, screaming with tears that flooded her face when she found out that the new fetus that had grown for several weeks in her womb was gone.
Noah felt his body go limp, it seemed like the muscles had left his bones while recalling the incident just a moment ago. It was reflected how the Sea was thrashing, screaming in his arms.
.......
“My child? Where's my son, Mas?” Sea shouted while in Noah's arms.
“Jawab, Mas!”
“Jawab!!” His screams again.
I don't know where all the strength of Noah at that time, which surely he felt quite difficult when his wife thrashed in his arms. “Quiet Sea, please calm down..”.
“I'll be quiet, Mas,” Sea reply.
“But, after Mas say if my son is okay right inside here?” At that time, Noah could see Sea trying to feel his flat stomach wrapped in bandages.
Noah still vividly remembered, how Sea's body that was in his arms suddenly stiffened. Then in just a matter of seconds, his wife's hands and shoulders trembled violently.
“Ma-mas... So is it true that God loves my son more?” asked Sea with a trembling voice.
It only took a few seconds and the cry of the woman who failed to become a mother finally broke. Noah at the time didn't know what to answer. His tongue fell and for a moment he felt he had become the most foolish man who could not say anything to appease his wife.
Just nodding and tightening his embrace was all that the man could do. And for the first time, the kiss he landed on the top of the Sea's head. Not once, but many times the kiss landed there. It was as if Noah wanted to make up for every moment he wasted.
“Ma-mas... You are right,” said Sea on the sidelines of his cries that began to subside.
“God loves my son more,”.
Noah immediately nodded without letting go of his embrace. One hand had moved slowly to caress his wife's mane no matter if the usually soft mane was now turned tangled.
“What's wrong, Sea.. ikhlaskan,” said Noah at the time.
Sea nodded, the corner of Noah's lips began to pull to the side. For a moment Noah thought if the tense atmosphere that stifled his heart had ended, in fact his conjecture was wrong.
“You were right, Mas,” said Sea. His voice again vibrated the sign of the woman crying again.
“I am indeed a murderer!” akuny.
“What did you say, Sea?” ask Noah.
If you can be honest, then Noah felt like Sea had slapped his face with just his words. Feel it Noah, your stupidity used to be a boomerang for you! Even his own mind seemed to mock his owner.
“You know best what I mean, Mas!” Sea replied by pressing down on every word spoken from his lips.
“Now I will accept everything you accuse, Mas!” Sea back thrashing. Noah recalled how difficult it was to hold Sea who wanted to escape from his arms at that time.
“I can't take care of the baby that's still in my womb, Mas!” said Sea who was answered with a head-butt by Noah.
Mami Joanna and Peter's father who had deliberately given space to the couple, suddenly stood up and approached Noah who was still at home hugging Sea's body that was back struggling.
“Honey, do not say that..This is all the destiny of God,” said Mami Joanna softly.
Sea is back. “Mas Noah is right, I am indeed a murderer. I don't deserve to be a mother,” Sea said.
“So... Leave me, Mas!” lirih.
Noah broke his embrace. His hands are now on both of his arms. “No. I will never leave you!” reject Noah firmly.
“But I too have caused your lover to commit suicide,” Sea said lying.
Noah shook his head. “No... don't blame yourself. I know it's not you, Sea. I'm sorry.”
“Traveling of our child, also that woman... all is not your fault!” repeat Noah again.
“Lease, Mas!” Sea rebelled again.
“Leave me alone!” Noah was quite surprised at that moment because Sea was snapping at him.
“You... or me.. We're not going anywhere!” reset Noah.
But unfortunately, Sea who did not want to be in Noah's arms continued to rebel. Peter's father, who at that time was very worried about the condition of his son-in-law, finally went to find a doctor.
Soon, Peter's father returned with two doctors and two nurses. One of the two doctors who came was Sandy, Noah's best friend.
Seeing Sea's unstable emotional state, one of them was forced to inject a sedative after getting a nod of approval from Noah. Just a moment later, then Noah could feel the movements of Sea's body begin to weaken. His crying voice was not heard again.
Slowly Noah began to lay down Sea's body. Two pairs of netra belonging to Sea and Noah still had a look, just before the two Sea neutrals finally completely closed.
...................
Fear now overwhelms Noah after he recalls how the series of events happened just a moment ago. Peter's father, who had been sitting on the sofa since, approached Noah. The middle-aged man patted his son's shoulder several times.
Realizing his father's presence, Noah turned his head and turned to face the large window that showed the view of the Capital at night.
“What if Sea is serious about what he said earlier, Yah?” tanyakanya.
“If you want to repeat the same mistake, then let him do what he wants,” replied Peter's father.
Noah shook his head, not expecting his father to be so relaxed about saying that. The smile that rose on his father's face made Noah inexhaustible with the way of mind of the man he respected so much.
“Casual, Man!” father Peter said. “Daddy's word is not finished,” I got.
“But, if you don't want to regret having made the same mistake over and over again, then prevent him. Don't let him do what he said. Even if it's just a speck, close the gap that could have made it actually leave you!” said Peter's father advises his only son.
Yeah, Dad's right. Of course I don't want to regret it. I will no longer make the mistake I've done for you Sea, I won't waste you anymore! Inner Noah was determined.
...……............
At 03:00 in the morning, the two Netra Seas that continued to be closed, slowly began to open. The first highlight the poor woman encountered was the figure of her husband falling asleep with his hand propping up his chin.
First Sea normalized his mood which rumbled back. He slowly returned to his flat stomach, until his hand touched the bandage there.
“These are all real. Not a dream,” lamented in a voice like a whisper.
The faint voice of Sea was heard by Noah, as well as the woman's body movements finally managed to wake her husband. “Sea, are you awake?”
“Hemm.” Only that Sea's answer was accompanied by a nod of his head.
“Is anything painful?” noah asked and Sea answered with a headband.
“Then, is there anything you want?” continued Noah.
“I'm hungry. I want to eat,” Sea replied.
Soon Noah picks up food on the nightstand that Mami Joanna accidentally left for him.
“Although this food is not warm anymore, but eat first. At least your stomach filled first,” said Noah.
Noah did not look stiff when feeding Sea. Moreover, his wife did not seem to refuse when Noah began to bribe him.
“Is there anything else you want? I'll have Mami take her later,” said Noah who wanted to break the silence that night.
There was no response from Sea. Until the last bribe was finally over, Noah's wife still survived in silence.
But just as Noah went to pour water to fill Sea's empty glass, his wife's words finally sounded.
“I want to go home.” That's what Noah heard.
Without looking at Sea and without stopping his hand pouring water from the glass pitcher into the glass Noah said, “Of course we will go home, but after your health is completely restored.”
Sea's heavy sighs echoed in the quiet room. “Not us, but I.”
Noah did not respond to his wife's remarks. The man tried to hold the tremors in his hand. Don't let me spill this water, Noah thought.
“I want to go home!” said Sea.
Deg.
What he feared really happened. Noah was nailed in place long enough. The glass he filled with water, since when it was full. Water overflowed from the glass and Noah had not noticed. Until there was water dripping onto the floor and hitting right at his feet.
“We're not going anywhere. You or me, you're not going anywhere, Sea!” noah said before passing by to look for anything he could use to wipe away the water spill.
