Nightmares for nightmares. Like a book flipped. The terrible images came to Yudha, chasing her, ambushing her, wrapping her in a deep fear, like a cold black blanket freezing her to death slowly.
Almost every night Melody deliriates Yudha. Counted since parting with Yudha in the motel of Chiba area time.
His face was pale and his forehead was shiny from the cold sweat. Sometimes his delirium turned into sobs. That's heartbreaking. Heartbreaking to his wife.
Almost every night Melody wakes up. Every time it happened; the delirium, groans, and sobs of Yudha's crying always made her heart slit. Melody can't get used to it. How many times it happens, it feels heartbreaking. Makes her cry silently. Just silently. Because he knew he had to be strong for Yudha.
"Don't be afraid, Yudha-kun. You're not alone. There I am here with you. I will be faithful waiting for you. My children and I are waiting for you to come home. Don't grieve! Don't pain! Don't cry! Don't show your sad face full of wounds when you stop by my dream! I'm scared, you idiot! Yudha no baka! The brood! Baka!" Melody sobbing.
His hold on pictures of Yudha always managed to get him saved from his nightmares as he continued his sleep.
"Darling, it's okay! I'm doing fine! I cried because the twins kicked it a little hard. No, it's not from you. I knew you'd be okay! Yudha is great. Yudha is my husband. Husband Melody!"
A warm smile and a shady look in those emerald eyes is always powerful to make the heart calm. These were only illusions he had created himself out of frustration away from Yudha. The hope is that he can be re-entered in a deep slump until morning.
And apparently it worked out quite well.
According to Melody, those nightmares have been happening all too often lately. Intervals are getting shorter. From once a night, even now almost every time he closed his eyes.
Almost every night, almost every time you fall asleep.
Is that a sign of Yudha's deteriorating condition? What is something terrible about Yudha? Or is it just a reflection of his psychological condition that is unstable, such as depression due to being pregnant without a husband next to him? Melody doesn't know.
Melody calls Mia to tell her how she feels. To find the strength of what makes his body afraid. The nightmare left him powerless.
"What's Melody? Why are you crying?" Ask Mia over the phone.
"No, I just woke up and had a nightmare about Yudha. Hehe." Answer Melody.
"Try me guess? You were scared and you just cried and tried hard, but being unsure of what to eat you called me?"
Melody laughs. "Mia is the greatest. Just know what I feel right now. Yes, aki does feel that way. Your guess is right."
"People who love each other are connected to this deep, huh? You and Yudha must have a very deep and strong bond. You've been through a lot but God still connects you."
"There's a child, Mia. There was a child between me and Yudha. They hooked me up with him."
"There is also blessing you are pregnant even at a less precise time like this. Your day is hard, but the children in your womb give you spirit. Angerah does depend on how we judge it?"
"I often talk to my belly. Sometimes I laugh when I remember it, but it's funny and quiet when I go through the day without my father's children."
"The question is I will be. Kepo dong a little, you guys make his son when? Wouldn't it be calculated that your time is in a bad position? Which the matter of the Genit Ulet makes you guys have a big fight, right?" Mia remembers this very well.
"Yes. The sex I had with Yudha was also very rare. If it's not wrong it's my second sex with Yudha. It's so stupid and stupid that I just found out after being pregnant for a few weeks."
"Waah, it is also sharp that Yudha. Stitch twice straight away. Topcer is." Mia Laughing.
Melody shy. Mia likes to be vulgar when she talks. "I am fit fertile period, so it immediately so."
"Hahaha, it's not a wonder how people who are marahan can fight hot in bed. You guys make out too, right?"
"Th-that's it.. Also called sex. Of course we make out. Yudha even kissed my whole body and left traces of his possession."
"Wadidaw. gilaaaa. cih, I want to marry and have sex with my husband!"
Melody laughs. "Hopefully quickly find a soul mate! Ayumi and Nao like each other will also be engaged soon."
"Yes. Neil finally approved too. Haha. I am happy for my cousin. Well Meldoy, are you feeling better?"
"Yes. It's been. Thank you for listening to my words! I'm glad I could tell you. I'm sorry that nights often disturb your sleep."
"Look easy. We are close friends. We support each other. You need me, I need you. Remember, I'll always be happy if you tell me all your problems. If I can't help you, at least I'm willing to listen to your grievances."
"Mia is the best!"
"Melody is the best!"
"I want to meet you, walk to the mall, eat together, but for now it's hard. Still very dangerous. Haaah. But it's okay, I'll definitely go through all this and play with you again!"
"Hey, I'm waiting for that moment! May the whole thing be safe, everything be safe!"
"Aamiin.."
They ended the curse with laughter so that after that, the brain and heart became much better. Nightmares are dreams, and sleep. Send a prayer to God and let Him act.

After having lunch together and discussing Mr. Han's main goal, this small and happy-looking family headed somewhere.
"Dad, where are you taking me now?" Ask Alvin.
"You'll be happy when you get there." Answer Mr. Han.
"Our father is right, Alvin. You'll be happy later. Levih well you just prepare yourself to receive that happiness!" Saga.
"Do I have to be blindfolded like this?" Ask Alvin.
Right, he was currently wearing a headscarf since he got into Saga's car. His secretary, Daisuke is even banned from attending. Forced he told Daisuke to return to the inn.
"Alvin, don't ask too many questions! Your father doesn't like people who ask him a lot." Kurenai.
"It's okay, Kurenai. Young people like to be curious." Said Mr. Han sitting in the front seat side by side with the driver. "This is one form of surprise that many people do. Surprise gets even cooler when the one given the surprise is blindfolded." Added.
"Ah, I think you suspect me. I am a new person in my life. I'm definitely not going to gain trust so easily, am I?" Alvin.
Master Han laughed. Alvin is very smart. "Let's go as you please, Vin! What can you expect from a yakuza father?" Said.
"We'll be here soon, your dark days are coming to an end, Alvin!" Saga interrupts his father's conversation with his 'sister'.
After arriving at their destination, Alvin was led by his mother to enter a building that Alvin did not know. He just complied without saying a word.
"Bright?" Alvin Mumbled. "It's a traditional Japanese house!"
Genkan itself is a corridor used by residents of the house and guests to remove footwear so as not to contaminate the tatami.
After removing the footwear, the journey into the house continues. The thoughts begin to fill Alvin's brain.
"The journey takes approximately 45 minutes at a speed of about 65 kilo meters per hour. According to my count, roughly the distance of Kyoto Construction to the place I was walking at right now was about 49 kilo meters less. Also away. Where'sisthis? Shit, I didn't even know where the car we were driving was going." Inner Alvin.
The group stopped in a room. Kurenai also helped remove the black cloth used to close Alvin's eyes and head.
And true as Alvin had expected. This is a traditional Japanese house. Currently he was standing in a room called washitsu. Washitsu is a room with a tatami mat consisting of wooden pillars, roofs, and doors. Washitsu is also a living room where there is a part of washitsu called zashiki. Zashiki itself is a room in the interior of a house, commonly used to welcome guests in traditional homes.
"A nice house. The traditional effect can. The arrangement of ornaments and wall hangings is also good." Alvin's first comment he could say after his eyes could see again.
"Ho, you do have observant eyes. As expected by the CEO of the Emperor Group. I'm so moved to get compliments from his son." Said Mr. Han.
"The cool impression of this house isn't the only surprise you mean to me, is it?" Ask Alvin.
"Haha, you're impatient. All right, we'll see a surprise for you right away!" Answer Mr. Han.
The traditional house commonly referred to by the name of the minka is a zen-style building with the main material of wood.
One of the factors why traditional Japanese homes use the main material of wood is because the area is prone to earthquakes and wood can minimize the damage suffered by the house.
There's a tatami in front of Alvin's eyes. Tatami is a straw webbing used to cover the floor. This floor covering is an attraction that makes traditional houses in Japan have a warm look.
Besides tatami, there is kamidana. Kamidana or god shelves are usually found in ancient Japanese homes. The kanji found on a large hanging board is called fuda. In general, homeowners will light osenko or candles, put flowers, and then pray in front of the kamidana.
Alvin thought, this fake father spent a lot of money to get this house considering how spacious and expensive home furniture. The jar and other pottery he thinks antic must have been long-lived. This can be equivalent to a sports car.
"Let's go to another room! A little far away because it has to go down the hall." Saga.
Without further ado, they all walked into the traditional residence deeper.
On the way to the room, moving places, they passed through the hallway.
Alvin turned to the side and looked at the fusuma. Fusuma or sliding door. As many people already know, this traditional house prefers sliding doors over being pulled or pushed. Sliding doors used are usually made of plywood and wood equipped with special paper.
Besides fusuma, he also sees shoji. Unlike the fusuma, this sliding door is wrapped in thin paper attached to a square-shaped wooden plot. The main function of this door is to separate the terrace with the indoor room.
There is a garden that can be enjoyed complete with a fish pond.
"Do you like the concept of a house like this?" Ask Kurenai.
"Ah. Hm. Like. Looks comfortable." Alvin.
"We can make it if you want." Kurenai.
"I'll think about it later."
The journey resumed. Eventually they came to one of the rooms. The room is still as traditional as the main residence.
"We've reached where the surprise will be soon." Said Mr. Han.
"Is there a surprise for me in this room?" Ask Alvin. Master Han nodded. "Is this an ancient monster? It seems like the surprise for me is huge." Further.
"Oh yes of course! This is a celebration of the happiness of a father who can finally chat with his son after a long time."
"alright. I'm waiting for a surprise from you, my father."
Mr. Han was stunned. "Saga, open the door!" Her request.
Saga opened the room according to the father's request.
When the door opened, Alvin desperately hid his shock.
There, there, in the room there was a man lying with an infusion tube and bandages all over his body. There was blood that looked red from the white money bandage.
That man is Yudha.
"What about dad's surprise? You happy? Yudha your arch-enemy can't do anything!" Said Mr. Han.
Alvin returned his emotions as quickly as he could. Believe me, he is very good at this. It's very easy to do. Quickly, Alvin smiled.
"It was so happy that I wanted to laugh out loud seeing her lying helpless like that. I wonder, is he going to die any time soon?" Alvin.
"This father is trying desperately to keep him from dying before all father's plans succeed. Don't try to kill him first!" Said Mr. Han.
"of course! Don't worry because I also want to have fun watching him suffer first." Said Alvin grinning.
Mr. Han laughed and then patted Alvin on the shoulder. "My son is the best fit for this."
"Selanat enjoyed your time seeing your a-dik suffer, Alvin!" Saga.
"According to your father's words! Don't fuck with Yudha! We'll get out of this room and chat in the living room." Kurenai.
"Watch your own house, Vin!" Said Mr. Han.
Alvin just nodded. He was left alone with Yudha.
.
.
.
One of Mr. Han's residences, where Yudha was held captive. Perhaps more precisely treated because Yudha lay nothing and full of wounds all over his body.
"I'm currently seeing my brother sleeping weakly. He's dying. You know, I'm a doctor. Without this medical aid, Yudha would have died. It is also great that Mr. Han arranged this room in such a way. This is more than just enough to be called a hospital-style ICU room. The equipment is quite complete. Ah.. since when did the infusion stop?" Inner Alvin.
Alvin checked the infusion. He saw that the syringe on the back of Yudha's hand had come off. The cotton there is wet because of the infusion caidan that does not enter the body.
"Sorry, I'll fix the patient's infusion location." A nurse who Alvin believed to be a hired airman Mr. Han entered the room with equipment related to the patient's condition.
"Let me fix it! I'm a doctor." Alvin.
"Ah.. Alright. Dozos.." Nurse said.
Alvin fixed it after asking the nurse for permission, the nurse who took care of Yudha. He removed the wet drip. He wants to replace it with a new one.
Intravenous therapy is one of the most basic treatments given to almost every hospitalized patient. And of course, the installation skills of infusion or insertion IV Cath must be mastered by every nurse. Alvin is a doctor, but the doctor must also master this. This is like basic education which naturally must be mastered by medics like himself.
Before touching Yudha's body, Alvin washed his hands first to be sterile from germs and bacteria.
Alvin glanced at Yudha who was currently lying down. Weak and helpless. Miris also if you see how many bandages throughout Yudha's body.
It must have hurt a lot.
Alvin then connected a bottle of intravenous fluid with a hose and then hung on a standard infusion. After that, determine the area of the vein to be pierced and then install a base below it. He rubbed the back of Yudha's hand.
Venous area to be pierced paired tourniquet approximately 15 cm above the area.
I also forgot that he was wearing gloves.
The area of Yudha's hand to be pricked was cleaned with an alcohol cotton swab.Then Alvin, punched a needle into Yudha's venous torment facing the heart. he also made sure the IV needle went into the vein later and removed the tourniquet.
After that, he connects the needle with the infusion hose and closes the pierced area with the case and gives the plaster to maintain the location of the needle.
After making sure the needle in Yudha's tangab is neat, Alvin adjusts the speed of the infusion drip as needed.
Now the nurse helps him by putting an action label containing the name, date and time of execution. The nurse also helps to clean the infusion installation procedure tool.
Alvin took off his hand-shirt and washed his hands and continued to observe and evaluate the patient's response.
"You did a good infusion, doctor!" Praise the nurse that Alvin believes if she's about three or four years old on it. The same age as Ayane, Melody's super loyal guard.
"Ah, this ak still does not deserve such praise. There's still so much I need to learn." Alvin said low.
"You'll be a great doctor. Your dedication and your desire to get better is a solid foundation for becoming a true doctor." Said Nurse.
Alvin just smiled lightly in response to this. He was happy that someone praised him, but sometimes the praise would only make him complacent. He doesn't want to get a big head on that.
"So, how is Yudha's current condition? The developments?" Ask Alvin.
"Patients respond well to medications and any treatment that doctors give. Only, the wound on his head was quite severe. It is not yet certain whether there is any fatal damage. The patient hasn't been awake since I was first assigned to care for him." Reply the nurse explained honestly with Yudha's current condition.
"Hmm. sodesu. Alright. Thank you for taking care of Yudha all this time."
"Ie, this is indeed the duty of a person like me who swears by my work. All right, I'll step down first."
"Eh."
The nurse came out of the room used to care for Yudha.
Alvin sighed. For him, this room is indeed complete like a hospital ICU, there is an oxygen tube also there, but does Yudha really get the best treatment? What about Yudha's head x-ray? Yudha's body? Yudha's bones?
Without it, it is difficult for Alvin to be sure exactly how Yudha is doing at the moment.
.
.
.
"Melody... Mel... Melody." - Melody." Igau Yudha's.
It turned out that Yudha also had nightmares in her unconsciousness. It's been many times. Nonstop. In his sleep he even found it difficult to distinguish whether this was a dream or reality.
The next night a nightmare haunts Yudha again. He fell in his sleep, holding him back. His face was pale, while his entire body was drenched in cold sweat.
Alvin looked at his half-brother. It's been five minutes since mother, father, and brother lie showed him Yudha's condition.
"What do you dream about, Yudha? You mentioned Melody earlier." Said Alvin staring at Yudha flatly. "Ah, of course the dream about Melody. What else, right? ... You know what, Yudh? You're lucky. Although it was a nightmare, at least Melody was present in your dream. Not like I expected dreams about her, but I could never get them." Added.
Yudha's eyes were closed, but the fear that had not disappeared from there was evident there. His breath is still breathing. Sweat on Yudha's forehead. His hands clasped as if to convince him that he was suffering greatly.
"You're pathetic, Yudh! I'm telling you, I have nightmares, too." Alvin. "Sucks it, that nightmare is about you. Of all the dreams, why do I have nightmares? I would love to dream with Melody. My memories with him used to be beautiful, but God was reluctant to send them through my dreams in my night's sleep." Further.
"..." - ".Of course this will not get an answer from Yudha. This handsome man was still loyal with his eyes closed.
"Because I'm bored, I'll tell you my nightmares. I will comfort you with a nightmare that makes me suffer. You'll be happy to hear that." Alvin.
Shortly afterwards, Alvin recounts his nightmare. He did not care if at this time Yudha would hear it or not.
"In my dream, you locked me in a small, dark room, without food. I freaked. I starve. And you came secretly to feed me a piece of bread. But the bread was rotten and round, making me vomit. You cried because you thought you poisoned me. Then you left me alone. I curled up in the corner of the room, crying, feeling terrified again. I called your name but you didn't answer. You go and you don't come back." Alvin's Story.
The room was empty for a moment. For a while Alvin was at a loss for words to continue his words or simply comment on his dream.
It was a terrible dream. There is no need to see the body torn into pieces to feel the fear down to the bone. For alone in the void is the scourge most fearsome to man. The fear of solitude is more terrifying than anything in the world.
"Young nanda, Yudha? Why in my dream did you leave me?" Ask Alvin. He clenched his hand.

Back to the main story after yesterday mengesum ria because kangen mas Yudha and yey. finally mas Yudha appeared also after a long time. I'll try!
Btw, I really want to have a traditional Japanese house cake house. Sliding door, tatami, wooden floor, garden. All teasing me. But if in Indo it seems like wood floors are less suitable to remember termites and what it's called, small grains in wood, if in my place the name is teter. Haha. Funny huh? Ah no huh? Ah yes already.. The gambarimasho!
