Marrying Sergeant Major
~ 98 ~
Bimasene...
"Sorry sir, we have to take action. Please wait outside"
"But sus, I'm her husband"
"Please cooperate, sir"
The operating room door was closed perfectly. I could only stare at the glass door with a blank look.
A second later I heard Lala's call from behind my back, I automatically turned back and slightly lowered my gaze.
"Lala!"
"Dad"
My little girl looks so pitiful with tears and sobs. Nose and eyes appear red with occasional wheezing when taking a breath.
He immediately rushed into my sling and I took him to the seat in front of the operation room.
"Can Lala tell dad why you're like this?" ask me when I was sitting while holding Lala facing me.
"So the mother ran for a while and continued to push onty Gesya, onty Gesya the same mother would fall"
"Mother push onty, son?"I cupped Lala's face.
The child whose eyes now seemed to be swollen nodded steadily, and that nod invited my attention to look for Gesya's face.
The figure of the woman who also looked sad was unable to hide her panic and fear. It was obvious from the expressions of the faces and hands that were clinging to each other like trembling holding something back.
His spotless face made me want to beat him to death.
"Can you explain what Lala meant?" I close my eyes.
Not yet had the damn woman answer, a pair of my ears heard the voice of Arimbi's mother calling my name.
"Bima" The worried-looking woman ran over to cut my distance with him. Not only mother, father also followed her arc with a similarly panicked look.
Earlier before sliding into the hospital, I did call my mother to immediately follow me to the hospital. I also called my mom to my house to pick up baby gear, because I thought Arimbi was going to give birth. But when I got to the hospital, I was surprised to find that there was red fluid in the legs.
"Mom!" I got up from my seat still holding Lala.
"Why Arimbi Bim?"
I kissed the backs of my mother and father-in-law's hands before answering her question.
"Arimbi should be in caesar's ma'am"
"Astaghfirullah" his mother sighed softly and then sat her body on a long bench in line with where I was sitting. It's certain the mother squashed to hear her daughter was struggling on the operating table.
"So morning mom just talked to her, she said two weeks later she had just given birth. But why the sudden caesarean?"
"She fell, ma'am, but I don't know what kind of fall I'm even less"
The word was spoken again from the mouths of father and mother, indeed without a sound. But looking at his mouth, I'm sure it's an istighfar sentence.
"We just pray yo mom, hopefully Arimbi can get through it" said the father to calm him down.
I followed my mother sitting next to her.
"Don't make me more afraid, ma'am, right my father said, we should pray"
"Mother is really afraid of Bim, she's the daughter of the only mother, if something happens bagaima_"
"Mom, don't think hard, I don't like it. Wishing you well, I'm sure Arimbi and the baby will survive, she's a great woman, she's as strong as your given name means"
Mother nodded while taking a long breath.
Then silence long enough. As my gaze fell down while patting the back of Lala who knew to sleep, I caught a pair of sandal heels in front of me.
As my head was raised, I caught Gesya's face that panned with regret.
"What's wrong?" I asked coldly complete with a look of hate.
"Can we talk, mas"
"What are you talking about?"
The mother sitting beside me also looked up with a tinge of astonishment.
"We're talking there mas" The woman pointed at the chair a little far away from the chair I'm currently sitting in.
"Why should it be there?"
"Is that an important conversation?"
Gesya responded to me with a nod of the head. It seemed like he was very nervous, it was marked with his facial expression as well as like a tribulation when trying to swallow his own saliva.
"You go there first, I'll catch up"
After saying that, he immediately turned around and pointed his feet towards the place he was pointing at.
"Mom, take Lala for a second"
"What would he talk about, Bim?" mother asked as she received the Lala I moved onto her lap. A pair of my eyes looked at me curiously.
"No idea ma'am, but he seems to know why Arimbi could be like this"
"Yes you've been there, let Lala be with mom"
"Thank you mom"
"Yes" said the brief mother.
My eyes now turned to look at my father.
"I'll stay a while, yeah"
"Yes Bim"
After my father confirmed it, I set foot in the direction where Gesya was sitting.
It took me about half a minute to get in front of him.
"What are you talking about?" ask me to the point.
"Mas, I-I"
He hesitated to say it.
"I_"
"Do you intend to take my time, so that I can not accompany Arimbi in front of the operating room?"
"B-not so mas" she's nervous.
"Then?" I put both hands in my pants pocket. A pair of my irises are squeaking with tightly knit jaws.
"I'm sorry, mas"
"I'm sorry? Wh-wh-what for? Are you the one who caused Arimbi like this?"
"Not only that" he replied then appearing to gulp.
"Certain why? Tell me clearly!"
"I'm sorry, 'cause_" she hung up her sentence. His eyes moved uneasily in fear.
I don't know what he wanted to say, but his expression and body language implied a deep regret.
Gesya was silent, I deliberately kept silent, waiting patiently for what this cunning woman before me wanted to say.
Along with my rough sigh, he gulped his saliva once more before then saying. "I'm sorry, I'm the one who sent terror to Arimbi"
"You mean?" I was honestly surprised by his confession. This shock of mine got my hand out of my pants pocket.
"I'm the one who sent the market hawker to Arimbi's office"
"What?" I don't know, my eyes are heating up, my heart is beating so hard, there's a lot of anger going on in there. I really want to vent my emotions on this woman.
If only it wasn't in the hospital, I would've beaten him all out mercilessly.
"I told people to put flowers filled with explosive material in front of the gate of the mas house"
That second also my hand reflexes clenched, tightened my jaw until my teeth were squeaking because it was so furious.
It's true what I thought, he broke my wife's heart. He who had been close to making Arimbi fall.
I can't imagine what if Arimbi's mentality is weak, his faith isn't that strong.
I'm sure my woman must have been depressed because her fear was really at the top.
