Days pass. It was three days after the incident that morning, not even Nandita came to visit. There was a reason he gave to Gunadh. And the universe seems to support, because what is said is not a lie.
Starting from waking up late, leisurely walking activities, and social services welcoming school birthdays, became his savior these days. Even if you are planning, he can still arrange a visit to the hospital. But he felt reluctant.
Is he avoiding?
Might as well.
Who can guarantee a person's heart? One sentence may be ordinary to one person, but it can also be overwhelming to another.
"Yank, can you come here in the afternoon? Mira's been allowed to go home by the doctor." Gunadh said in a phone call this morning, when Nandita had just finished cleaning up.
"Hopefully yes, I dare not promise. If it can't be noon, it will be afternoon after my activities to the house."
"Yes, but try to take Mira home." Gunadh is still hopeful
"Yes mas. Yes, I am ready first. Don't forget breakfast."
"Yes dear."
Calls closed.
The girl continued her activities preparing to go to school where she shared her knowledge. Today was the last day of the preparations for the event, he had to make sure everything went well.
At the hospital, Gunadh again checked the reports that Arya regularly brought, every time he returned to the office. And the next morning the handsome assistant will take it back while bringing breakfast and other necessities.
Indeed, the most bothered with Namira's calamity is the assistant.
Most of Gunadh's work was taken over by him. Not to mention being an impromptu courier, for all the needs of Gunadh in the hospital. Because the man who has been married only believes in the assistant.
For three days Safira did not show any suspicious things that made Gunadh angry.
His ex-wife even seems a little away now, making Gunadh lower his vigilance.
And so is Mira. The girl apologized to Gunadh for his unfavorable attitude towards Nandita.
"Why is Daddy quiet? Daddy's mad at me, isn't he?" Asked Mira last night.
"Son, Daddy's not mad. Why would Daddy do that?" Gunadh said with a flat face
"Then why is Daddy quiet? Is it because onty wasn't here?"
"Maybe he won't come here again." Speech is weak
"Why dad? Am I wrong?"
Gunadh looked at his daughter's bead. Trying to browse through the hearts through those innocent eyes. His affection for the child makes him unable to find anything but innocence that often deceives him.
"You know, son, there are times when what we say hurts other people's hearts, without us knowing. Daddy's not mad at you, just that Daddy is disappointed with the way you talk to Dita onty. Remember, when your mommy was not here, when Daddy was busy with work without knowing the time, onty Dita who became your friend. He who faithfully takes care of you and makes sure you are well. Don't forget about it. Do not forget the meaning of the presence of someone who accompanies us when we are difficult, when we have found happiness." Gunadh said softly. Wishing that way he could soften his son's hard heart.
"Yes Dad. Sorry Mira was wrong." Say the boy by lowering his head.
"Send onty here dad ...? Mira wants to apologize to onty." Namira pleads with Gunadh, assuring the Daddy that he is truly sorry.
Although in his heart, the demon in the form of hatred was not really gone. Still continue to whisper bitterness to that innocent soul.
Gunadh smiles.
"Tomorrow Daddy ask onty you come here huh. Take you home. The doctor said he could go home tomorrow."
"Yes Dad." The girl answered with a sweet smile.
Until this morning Gunadh eagerly contacted the lover, asking the girl to come.
But there was a bit of disappointment that he swallowed, when Nandita did not sound enthusiastic when responding to his request.
🌟🌟🌟
Nandita is busy. Being involved as a school birthday committee, takes up a lot of the girl's time and mind. Especially tomorrow is the highlight of the event, so today everything must be finished. Starting from the tent, preparing the stage of the students, ensuring safe consumption, and many more.
However, he deserves to be grateful, the activity gave him the opportunity to promote his business. Jerky and its processed order, became one of the food menu that will be served tomorrow for the students as well as invited guests.
When the sun was right on top of his head, Nandita realized it was already noon. And only toast and a glass of bottled coffee has been in her stomach since morning. He remembered his promise to Gunadh. In a hurry Nandita said goodbye to his partner and immediately headed to the hospital where Mira was treated.
Without a care for his screaming hull asking to be filled, he headed for the treatment room as soon as he finished parking his motorbike.
The hurried step stopped as soon as the elevator opened and saw Safira pushing Namira's wheelchair. Gunadh was carrying bags of clothing and other items. Walking hand in hand leading Penggung Sapphira. Whether consciously or not the man did it. But Nandita's heart ached seeing that.
Again came the alleged message from Safira. They're a happy little family without a third person.
Gunadh saw the lover standing in front of the elevator. And soon to follow him.
"Darling ... I thought you couldn't come." He said with a happy twinkle.
"Udah is a bit of a dick, so I'm here." Nandita's words covered her discomfort.
"Yes yuk." Gunadh leads Namira's wheelchair as soon as the elevator opens.
Nandita and Sapphira did not greet each other. Just Mira's attitude alone was a little more friendly than before.
"Onty thank you for coming ... Sorry this time it made onty offended." Said the young girl while in the elevator.
Nandita's eyebrows are wrinkled. He then glanced at Gunadh who was also staring at him.
"Who said onty was offended? No really. What Mira said is true. Those who should be with us are our parents. Whatever the reason, none of them can stop caring about their children. Mira hasn't seen mommy in a long time, has she? There must be a great longing that you feel for him. How many years has Mira not seen mommy?" Nandita asked with a glance at Safira's face.
"Do not know onty, it's a long time ago. Daddy said, mommy worked away and never met Mira." The girl said plainly.
"Ooh onty just found out that mommy Mira's work "Nandita's sentence does not continue because the elevator door is open, and they have arrived on the ground floor of the hospital.
"Darling ... You put the motor here just yes, later let Arya take care of it. You're in the car." Order Gunadh.
"Mas ... Where enough? Your car is small. This is just this much of our stuff." Safira pointed to the item that Gunadh had brought earlier.
"I bring a motorcycle, anyways a small time must trouble others. Arya made sure she had an agenda that was more important than just taking care of my bike." Nandita
Safira only glanced cynically at his rival. 'So understanding of you.' The sinisnya in the heart.
But he was happy, his semobil plan with Gunadh was achieved.
Finally Nandita departs separately using his motorcycle. While Gunadh drives his car. Safira initially intended to sit next to her ex-husband. But Gunadh's sharp gaze made him stop doing that.
Gunadh first arrived at his house. Once the car is parked, the art and gardeners welcome their arrival.
"Non Mira ... Thank goodness you can't go home. Bibik is so happy non." Bi Asih. The middle-aged woman shed tears of joy seeing the lady was allowed out of the hospital. Although, Mira's condition still has not fully recovered.
None of the art there was enthusiastic about Safira's presence. Just a smile as a formality. Unlike when he saw Nandita who just got off his motorcycle, Bik Asih and others welcomed him with warm and friendly greetings.
"Mas, I'm back. Mira needs a break too." Nandita
They just drove Namira to her room.
"Yes already, you be careful yank. Thank you for taking your time."
"Yes, um." Namira said briefly.
He wants to hurry away. His stomach was already sore from eating too late.
If he used to do activities in the house, now there is a sense of reluctance that he does not understand because of what. He was forced to hold his hunger instead of accepting Gunadh's offer to eat together at the man's house.
