Early in the morning Gunadh stepped in a hurry to find Nandita who was busy helping the mother in the kitchen.
"Jank ..." Call her with a panicked face.
Nandita turned her head, then immediately approached Gunadh
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"Can we go back now? Mira's in the hospital."
"What's? Why can?" The consecutive questions that just uttered from Nandita's mouth in surprise. His loud voice caught the attention of the mother.
"What's wrong?" Ask the middle-aged woman.
"Mira Bun, she's in the hospital. Yesterday he said in a car stamp." Gunadh.
Mother Santi was surprised, but could quickly control himself.
"Sit down first, calm your mind." The woman led the couple in panic.
"If you panic like this, it won't make things better. Instead, this rash attitude could endanger yourself." Say it again, while taking drinking water to both.
Gunadh's face was still pale, between shock and guilt for letting go of his daughter. He should not have argued with the princess. He should be able to give understanding patiently to the little girl. So Mira does not choose to stay with her mommy.
Aah regrets always come too late.
After a bit of calm, Nandita clasped Gunadh's hand.
"Patient mas, are we leaving now? I'm ready first."
He wants to rise to the room.
"Wouldn't you guys have breakfast first? Later after arriving at the hospital, not necessarily you think of the stomach." Mother gave advice.
"Son Gunadh, who told you about Mira's condition? Try to make sure how things are."
"Udah Bun, said my assistant Mira's current condition is stable but not yet conscious. He said it was due to a bump on the sidewalk that he was in shock. But so far everything's fine. And hopefully it'll be okay." His words are interspersed with hope.
Mother listened while busy preparing breakfast for the two people in front of her. Thankfully, the breakfast menu was finished when Gunadh called Nandita. Until now just move it to the plate.
"Eat first, then you are ready to go. Later let the mother who told me about your departure." He said while thrusting a plate containing fried rice and water for both.
They eat in silence. After that, return to their respective rooms to change clothes without bathing first.
Nandita took the time to contact her father who was on the farm. After bidding farewell to their father and mother, they left Nandita's parents' house with an erratic heart.
No one tried to break the silence on the way. Each one is busy with his own thoughts.
Gunadh with his regrets and guilt, while Nandita is confused about how to behave later when she arrives at the hospital.
"Maos ..." Doubtful Nandita asked
"Yes, baby, why?" Apparently Gunadh responded well. Makes Nandita breathe a little relieved.
"When did it happen?" Ask the girl carefully
Gunadh breathed, before beginning his story.
"Said Arya yesterday at around 19:00.but his mom Mira contacted Arya around 21:30, after several times trying to call the mobile phone number mas but failed. Yesterday we were all day outside, and we didn't have time to charge. The battery's running out when we go to the beach." Light of the man.
"Then?"
"Yesterday when we got home, we filled the battery. This morning, activate it. Apparently there have been a lot of calls and messages since yesterday. Stupid mas, why not from yesterday just activate the phone. Mas sleeps soundly while Mira holds back the pain in hospital. I feel like a really selfish dad." He said with a trembling voice.
"Mas ... Get to the side first. Let's take a little break while you're calm. Danger if you drive with emotion." Nandita rubbed Gunadh's arm gently.
"What's wrong, I'm fine." He gripped the steering wheel with both hands.
"Drink first if it is so," Nandita held out a bottle of bottled water that she had opened the lid.
Gunadh took it, gulping down until only half was left.
The car was back in silence. Nandita no longer wants to ask anything that makes Gunadh become angry. In his heart there were still many questions that he had not yet found an answer.
Where did Mira go the night until she got hit by a car?
How's the girl doing?
What about her mommy?
When he arrived at the hospital, what should he do? Considering his relationship with Gunadh's ex-wife isn't okay.
Unknowingly, the anxiety he was trying to cover made him take a deep breath and exhale violently.
"Why?" Gunadh breaks the silence.
Nandita looked over, then smiled faintly.
"There's no mas." Prattling
Silent
Until they arrived at the hospital, none of them returned.
🌟🌟🌟
Gunadh walked in a hurry as soon as he got out of the car. Nandita understood, he followed from behind with a step that was no less hasty.
Arya was already waiting in front of the entrance, bowing a little as soon as she saw Gunadh and Nandita coming towards her.
"Let's master" said the man who looked several years younger than his master.
"Maos ..." Safira ran after her ex-husband who had just exited the elevator door.
Holding Gunadh's hands together, his head looked up at the man's bead.
"I'm afraid that Mira is unconscious." Her brother with puffy eyes and messy hair.
"You have to be patient and stay strong. Mira's a strong boy, she'll soon realize." Hobur Gunadh tries to calm the mother of his son. Although his heart is now equally broken, but what can it do? It's all been happening.
They entered Namira's treatment room. After seeing the condition of the child, Gunadh headed for the sofa located in the corner of the room. A little far from the patient's bed.
"I'm sorry, but I'm neglectful to look after our son. I assume everything's safe so let Mira out for her own food." Safira said with his head bowed.
He really did not intend to make his son wretched. Although she was not a good mother, but seeing her daughter's current state, made her heart throb with pain.
"Can you explain what happened?" Gunadh tried to suppress his emotions. Humble the voice, so that Sapphira does not feel being tried. Hearing Safira's words just now, made her think non-no.
Night Mira out for food? Why isn't my mom doing it?
"I'm not feeling well, so I didn't cook yesterday. The same morning we ordered food through the app. Mira afternoon to make noodles. By nightfall, the boy was hungry again. In the apartment there is no food. While my body is limp. Mira permission to go out, he said he wanted to buy chicken porridge with sweet martabak in front of the building. I was stupid to let him go. Half an hour after he left, security officers searched for me, saying that Mira was hit and run and had been rushed to the hospital." Safira told me with a stingy breath holding her sobs.
Gunadh's jaw hardened, his hands clenched with emotion.
"Why are you that reckless Fira ...!! You know that, right? Mira was a child, why did you let her out alone unattended?" Sesal Gunad.
Nandita who had just been silent, sat down at Gunadh's side, patting his lover's shoulder gently. Reminds the man to control himself.
"Maos ..." Speaks soothing.
The girl's simple treatment was able to dampen Gunadh's anger which was about to explode.
"What did the doctor say?" Continue again with a huff, staring at the glance of his interlocutor.
" Mira had a broken bone in her knee, and some bruises as well. Gratitude in the area around his head he didn't have any serious injuries." Say Safira again
Gunadh rubbed his face a few times. His head was throbbing pain. Not fully believing in Safira's words, he decided to see the doctor who treated the child.
"I'll see the doctor first" Gunadh said, then stepped out of the room. Without even looking at Nandita.
While Nandita, he is confused what to do. Can only be silent without intending to open a conversation with the woman next to him.
Safira stared dislikefully at the girl. To him, Nandita was the cause of the princess like this. If Gunadh is not close to the girl, then Namira will still stay with her daddy. Will not do the action out of the house, even if it is with him.
"Your satisfaction now? Seeing my son like this, you must be happy, right?" Shoot Sapphira directly without stale bases.
Nandita only caught a glimpse, then got up about to leave the treatment room.
"Sorry mba, I don't think it's good if we argue about something that is not important when Namira's situation is like this. I'm sorry, there's not a single thing in my heart, to feel what it's like. Excuse me."
Nandita came out without a care of the babble that came out of Sapphira's mouth.
It is better to wait in the waiting room, or the nearest cafe. His presence there was not needed, he thought.
Meanwhile, Gunadh, the man had just realized that he had left Nandita in the child's room without any message.
"Jeez, Arya I left Nandita alone with Sapphira inside." He said to the assistant.
"Are we back to pick up, mister?" Ask the assistant.
After thinking for a moment, Gunadh continued his steps.
"Later I'll talk to him. Says the nurse, the doctor's practice hours are about to end. He's afraid he'll be gone."
Arya simply obeyed her master's footsteps without giving any answer.
After about 30 minutes of talking with the doctor, Gunadh came out and intended to return to Namira's room. But the shakes of the phone in his pants pocket stopped the man's footsteps.
"Arya, you come back. Tomorrow I may not be able to go to the office as usual, please take care of everything. Let me know if any emergency should involve my presence." He said, with the phone still in his hand.
"Okay sir, excuse me. Later you need, let bi Asih or others bring here."
"Thank you Arya." He patted the assistant's shoulder.
"Sama-sama sir, please take care of your health. If anything, I'm ready 24 hours." Said that handsome gentleman. And only a nod of the head and a faint smile by Gunadh.
It was only after Arya passed that Gunadh saw his phone back. Apparently Nandita sent him a message, saying she was waiting at a cafe near the park.
Intention to return to the child's room. Her footsteps, turned towards the cafe where her lover was waiting.
"Darling, sorry I forgot to take you out." He said after sitting opposite Nandita.
"What a hell, I understand. I'm worried about Mira." Mira replied with a smile.
"What did the doctor say?"
"As her mommy explained earlier, Namira suffered a fracture in her knee bone. Not broken. His vitals are safe and there is no problem. It's just, Mira hasn't regained consciousness. But the doctor said, it could have been due to shock." Gunadh said with a sad face.
"The patient mas. We can definitely skip this. Don't be discouraged, let Mira also get the spirit to heal."
"Thank you, thank you for having an understanding you. One more thing, as long as Mira is still in treatment, mas will be more often here. I will rarely have time for both of us. You're okay, right?" Ask the man to make sure. Although he was sure, Nandita would not be selfish asking for his time at a time like this.
"Yes mas ... I'm the one who needs to stay here. But maybe it can not be often mas, because the schedule of activities that I have prepared, I can not change. If for practice I can leave it to Satya, but for other activities I can not change." Say the girl.
Gunadh understood that his girl was now active in social activities that often held charity events or social services.
They were tired in the cafe. We ordered lunch for them to eat together. Gunadh's heart is more relieved now, after hearing the doctor's explanation. At least, nothing harmed his daughter.
"Mas, all of you order lunch for Fira, pity she must not have thought of herself since yesterday." Nandita said as the waiter came to bring the menu they ordered.
Gunadh just nodded his head, agreeing with Nandita's words.
