The next day, Ardi-Papanya Ariel came to the hospital, he already knew the place because it was before Noah met him directly. Noah had told her son's condition and even told her where Ariel was being treated, complete with her inpatient room number.
Along the way, Ardi just kept quiet, honestly he was not ready if he had to meet his son and daughter-in-law. But as a father, there is a heart that does not have the heart to hear Ariel's condition that is getting worse and worse. However, he did not want to lose the person he loved for the second time. After Ariel's death, he's still his real son, he's still his flesh and blood, and he's still the fruit of his love with his wife.
Once in the hospital, he walked upright. Without looking to the right and to the left. It's like he doesn't care about anything. He continued walking, until finally he was standing in front of the door of the room where Ariel was in care.
Ardi knocked on the door, however he could not enter carelessly. There is a child and daughter-in-law's privacy that he must take care of.
After knocking on the door, it was not long before the door opened. Ardi looked towards Luna who was getting fuller with an increasingly enlarged stomach.
"Papa, I'm glad Papa finally came here" he said, shaking the back of his father-in-law's hand.
Ardi just kept quiet, he seemed reluctant to return the greeting of his daughter-in-law, who will soon become a former daughter-in-law because he had also heard that Luna and Ariel were in the divorce process and most likely, he said, they are officially divorced next month.
"Let's go in pa." Luna knew that her father might still be disappointed in her, but Luna was still trying to be kind and friendly.
Ardi went inside and immediately looked towards the gurney, where there, his son just lay with his eyes open.
Ardi approached him.
Honestly, the first time I saw Ariel in this condition, her heart seemed to be pinched. Pain, tightness that's how he feels.
Ardi stood beside the gurney. He immediately hugged his son. Tears dripped without her being able to prevent it. Luna who saw it also shed tears.
"Sorry Papa, Son. Sorry Papa, because Papa just came. Sorry because Papa still can't classify everything, until Papa ignores you" he said in a trembling voice.
But as usual, Ariel did not respond.
Ardi let go of his embrace and looked at Ariel's face, which was pale, like there was no spirit of life. Benar said Noah, even his life was like a body without life.
Even though the eyes are open, they are empty.
Again Ardi cried to see his son like this.
"We're home, son. Let Papa take care of you and protect you." said Ardi made Luna scrunch her forehead. I don't understand what his father-in-law's words mean.
"What does Papa mean?" ask Luna.
"Papa will take him home. So you can also go home to your own home, and don't bother to look after Ariel again from today," he said.
"But, Pa. I'm still the legal wife of Mas Ariel and I'm still entitled to my husband."
"Yes, but next month you and Ariel are officially separated. Let Ariel get used to your absence by her side. Let him learn to take you away. At least when he is aware of his surroundings, he no longer hopes for you. Papa doesn't want you to let Ariel continue to suffer. Don't let it, he keeps hoping, and makes his mind suffer even more."
"But I want to take care of Ariel Pa." Luna still kekeh did not want to separate from her husband.
"Let Papa take care of him, Lun."
"I don't agree."
"What do you want, Lun? You haven't ruined my son's life and career enough. Not enough you to make my son suffer like this. You realize that all these problems start with you. If you used to know what your husband said, it would not be a problem of this magnitude. Ariel couldn't be like the one who lost her spirit. My wife may still be alive to this day. Nor will I lose face in front of my extended family and everyone who stares at me with contemptuous gazes. It's enough Lun, it's enough everyone blames my son without knowing what really happened. I have suffered enough for my son. Let him live quietly. Papa please!" pinta Ardi with her face.
"But I want to take care of Mas Ariel, Pa. I want to take care of him."
"You want to take care of her, and then after Ariel's healed. You will be tormented again with even worse torment."
"What does Papa mean?" luna asked not understanding.
"Papa knows everything. Imagine, for example, Ariel healed, then she knows, you and Ariel officially divorced and you married your former personal driver. How Ariel feels. Maybe he'll destroy Lun, will be destroyed. You don't feel sorry for him? You don't pity Lun, same Ariel. Although he betrayed you, but at least he did good to you. So please, please stop torturing my son."
"I didn't mean to torture Mas Ariel Pa?"
"But the truth is like that. You create problems, and Ariel just goes with the flow you create. Then after ARiel went the wrong way, the whole world insulted him, berated him, and considered it as if my son had committed a lot of crimes. Though the evil will never exist, for example, you do not continue to provide opportunities and continue to encourage your husband to be close to sin. And after my son was completely plunged into the zi-na valley, you seemed to turn around. Instead of helping, you continue to let the destruction happen before your eyes. You didn't tell Papa that Papa would punish him and Ariel would stop doing that, but instead you collected a lot of vidio and showed it to everyone. If indeed you do not like the actions of your husband, you can only contest him, there is no need to make a roar. You can separate well without doing a long drama" he said.
"I just want to teach you a lesson, Pa. Not more."
"Give lessons? God, you want to teach my son a lesson. Then what about your mistakes. Hmm .. You forced your best friend to be present in your marriage, in your household. How can you react to it. Don't just see your husband's fault. Let's see, too, what mistakes you've made."
"But Mas Ariel is already on a pilgrimage."
"You made my son go on. I know my son, he doesn't mix easily with other women. During her life, she has never been close to another woman other than her mother and you. I've never heard of my son having a girlfriend other than you. I never heard, my son walked with another woman, before your best friend came into his life."
"But Mas Ariel should have refused and not done that, if indeed he loved me."
"Didn't my son refuse, he won't even eat one table with your best friend. He also tried to stay away and avoid. Whether it's at home or at the restaurant. He also tries not to show himself in front of your best friend. Butwhat? You are the one who encourages your husband and friends to stay close. Papa knows, Papa has found out everything. My son has refused many times, but you keep forcing ARiel to accept your best friend's presence."
"That's not what I mean, Pa. I just want them to be close, because Laras already I consider like my own brother. I don't mean to get them close to a relationship."
"But what is it? it's the result you want them close, right? In Islam alone, it is not allowed for a man to approach a woman who is not his mahram. You know religion. Cook you do not know, if the man should not be close to the opposite sex. Cook you don't understand that. Even when your husband is sick, you do not feel guilty, you are even close to other men, even when your status is still the wife of my son. You also stay a week at your new future-in-law's house. Is this crazy, you know? Though all this time my son has always praised you, my wife Sholehah, my wife is kind, loving, patient and others. But this is what? not yet separated, you have been looking for a new husband. Maybe after your iddah period is over, you will immediately marry him. My son? My son is not even healed. And when he recovers, he will get some very painful news. You don't pity?" tanyakanya.
Hearing that, Luna was silent.
"So please, please let me take my son home. I'll take care of him. I'll help my son recover and forget about you and all the problems. And I promise you, Ariel will remain in charge as a father. If he recovers, he will come to visit his baby." he said.
"But, Pa. Can't if I take care of Ariel until I give birth later." Pinta Luna.
"And when you give birth, the official divorce papers will also come out. When my son has been used to your treatment all this time, then he is forced to forget you and leave you because he has no right to you anymore. You want my son to go crazy?" he said with a pretty high voice.
"You don't see my son even like an undead. You don't see his body like bones. You don't feel sorry for him. You want to show, your romance with your future husband. Do not rule out the possibility if you give birth, your future husband will also come. Then what about my son. What about his mentality." he added.
"Please don't be selfish. You're all right, aren't you? You have also managed to return your pain to your husband and best friend. Is it still not enough that you see my son like this and I lose my wife. Do you still want to continue your revenge? should my son die, let you be satisfied!" tanyanya felt furious.
"Why don't you take a knife and kill my son if it can make your heart relieved. At least my son also does not need to feel this kind of inner pressure," he said once again. Hearing that, Luna grew quiet.
After Luna was silent, Ardi looked at her son once more. He saw Ariel shedding tears. Ardi immediately removed it
"Papa will take care of you and protect you, son. Forgive Papa. Sorry because Papa has been ignoring you all along. From now on, no matter everyone blasphemes you, Papa will stand behind you. Papa will defend you desperately. Don't worry, okay. Papa won't leave you again. Sorry Papa, Boy. Sorry Papa." she cried, she hugged Ariel again.
Boy, here means boy.
Ariel felt like the warmth of her papa, she shed tears even though she still did not respond to the embrace of the Papa.
Shortly after, Noah arrives. Noah is moved to see Ardi finally want to visit his son.
Seeing Noah's whereabouts, Ardi immediately let go of his embrace.
"Noah, please take care of Ariel's administration. We'll take Ariel home today" he said.
"Where to go, Om?" tanyakanya.
"To the house, Om," he said.
Hearing that, Noah was silent. Then he looked towards Luna who was crying.
"But Om, what about Luna?" tanyakanya.
"Let him go home, there is Aunt Imah and Aunt Neni who will take care of him. Luna was already heavily pregnant, and was just waiting for the day of her birth. Let him rest and we don't have to use him." he said.
"Good, Om." Noah immediately left again to take care of Ariel's administration. Maybe this is the best way for Ariel to recover because it has been a few months, Aril was treated by Luna, but in fact, Ariel did not progress at all. Maybe in the hands of his father, Ariel can return to the spirit of living life and can move normally like before.
