NOT MY DARK LOVER
Almost Anyways

the atmosphere of the treatment waiting room for Mami is currently tense and the aura of sadness is felt from one by one people who expect to be anxious about his current condition.

Berto stood leaning against the wall of the room bending his face, his wife was at the end of his life.

Handi stood by his Papi, feeling guilty for causing all this muddling.

He did not dare to explain anything before his first Papi asked, hopefully the condition of his mother is not bad.

Tanti sat in the chair waiting to hold Narra who had fallen asleep because she was crying to see her unconscious. But knowing this was new to Narra, the little girl was terrified.

"Have you called your wife?" Handi gasped at her Papi's question.

"Yet, Pi. Handi didn't have time to tell Marva." she replied nervously.

"Huh." Papi let out a rough breath, looking at his son with a stare that was difficult to interpret "Quick call," his orders were firm.

Before Handi could reach his phone from his pants pocket, Tanti first spoke "Master, I have told Marva. Marva's on her way here,"

After that there was no further conversation.

After a while waiting at the end who was contacted earlier came as well. Marva came with an anxious face and gasped for breath in time to get to the hospital.

"How's Mommy doing? What the hell's going on? Huh uh?" Marva asked questions.

"The doctor's not out yet, son." That's Aunt Tanti's answer.

How come the doctor hasn't been out yet? The journey from the village to the city takes hours. What during the hours on the way, as long as Mami still no news?

Marva does not know what caused her mother-in-law to drop again, a short message from Aunt Tanti immediately hunted Marva to get home from Franda's parents' house. All the problems were solved well there.

Crack.

All eyes were on a middle-aged man in white coats coming out from inside Mami's ward.

"The patient made it through the critical period," Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the doctor's statement, twice God gave Mami a chance at life. "I don't know how Mrs Vera came back down, it could be that one of the family members surprised her. Oh one more thing, the heart tranquilizer I gave you yesterday is already very rare. So you guys think for yourself what to do to sustain a patient's life." It's funny that a doctor talks like that, but Berto is quite gnarled as to what the doctor who handles his wife. Not only known as a doctor but also one of the past parts of their love journey. Either because of fate what brought them back to the position of the patient and his doctor.

"Can we come in, Doctor?" Berto asked awkwardly.

The little nodding doctor invited him in "But not for the sleeping sweet boy. And just one-by-one, so as not to disturb the patient's rest." Further.

"The fire came in first. Marva, take Narra home. Handi, get back to the office." Sayar Berto firmly

With a heavy heart Marva stepped home.

Mami smiled bitterly as she looked at the two daughters-in-law looking at her alternately. After his consciousness returned, he immediately requested that Handi and Marva come to see him immediately. Telling what was a burden on her mind to her husband was a condition that her request be granted her husband Berto.

After feeling better enough, Vera took a breath starting to say what was stored in her heart.

"Marva," Vera grabs her daughter-in-law's hand tightly "Honest to mommy, son. What really happened to your relationship? What are you guys hiding?"

Marva looked down and bit her lower lip nervously answered her mother.

"Mommy wants to hear a confession from you." Mami said softly but sounded firmly in the ears.

Marva glanced at her husband Handi with the tail of her eyes hoping that Handi would respond, but Handi turned her face away. All right, he'll admit it.

Vera touched her chest using her hands that were not pierced by the infusion, she felt tight. He quickly neutralized his emotions so as not to cause panic.

"You did it for Mami' right?" That's the reason Handi spoke during the debate in Handi's room last night.

Silence no one answered.

After hearing the confession from his son, Vera felt disappointed.

All this time she thought that her son's domestic relationship had improved as long as she and her husband were at Handi's house. But it turned out wrong.

Handi said he had made a unilateral agreement pretending to be friendly before his parents, solely for the sake of maintaining his health as long as he was still living in the house of Handi. Half-dead he forced Handi to tell the truth, confessing to telling him what they were covering up.

Because he thought too much of it, his mind was in a mess. Morning while trying to shift his mind by dressing Narra ready for school, he collapsed right in front of his grandson.

Should she give up her best daughter-in-law? Not for the sake of the good name of the Hutama family, just relying on the premonition of a mother trying to give the best to her child.

"Handi, Mami's been trying to keep what's best for you. What Mami feels is, Marva is a good person for you and Narra is the sweetest child of grace that God has entrusted to you. If you open your eyes, you will see. Mami won't force you anymore."

Everyone was crying seeing tears coming down from Mami's face, including Handi.

This was the first time she had ever seen him in front of her eyes, and again it was because of him.

He should have realized from the beginning how meaningful the tears were, he knew his position was that of an only child. But it was precisely the hope of the only child that was not embedded in him.

"Mamii, Mamiii!" Handi regained consciousness from her daydream and heard Marva's screams and her Papi shook her Mammys body.

"No, Mi!" Handi immediately stood up seizing her Mom's embrace leaning her head over her forehead whispering begging in the ear "Don't go, Mi. Handi promised from now on will listen to Mami's words, Handi will be the best child for all families, Handi will fix everything. Handi jamji. Mommy. Mommy, Mami!" Handi continued to exclaim to kiss the whole side of her Mammys face, she cried as she pleased.

Tiiittttt!!

Vera's heart rate is back.

After a few moments of struggle to wake Vera up, Harif managed to bring Vera home to his body.

Sitting on his couch in his study, throwing a suit in every direction.

"Lebrando. Why do you need to feel what you used to feel, you have to give up love to others," Harif stared blankly at the sky of the room.

He saw a scene of drama Handi crying in Vera's arms, peering out of the transparent glass gap around the door of the room Vera was treated.

If he used to be a fool to have wasted the opportunity of his love with Vera, forced to let Vera be betrothed with a foreign man. So now that fate came down to Lefrando his son, a misplaced love.

The difference is Lefrando should not maintain his feelings towards women who have legally become the property of others. He had to do something to keep Leftando out of Marva.

Walk towards the desk, reach into something from inside the drawer.

Harif rereads the yellow map.

"I'm sorry, Papi, Lef. Papi has to do this."
