“One problem is not finished, instead another problem appears.” Adelia hissed annoyed with an equally regretful gaze. “And this is all because of a woman named Bella.”
Unexpectedly, the tiny woman placed the spoon she was springing onto the plate quite hard. The sound of the impact, made everyone in the room flinch. Including the patient, Aditya Lesmana, who had just regained consciousness almost a week ago.
“Sorry,” great-grandson Aditya is a little scared of his daughter. Although they often fight, but only this time Adelia looks angry. Of course the time of his father's affair was exposed, it has not been counted.
“Two weeks ago, he pushed Papa down. Now, he killed himself at the hotel and injured my sister.” Adelia did not stop nagging. “Basic women are not useful.”
“Sorry.” Again, that was all Aditya could say.
“Why Papa who is sorry keeps?” hardik Adelia in a questioning tone and bulging eyes. “What is the wrong Papa?”
Aditya already wanted to open his mouth to say sorry again, but immediately canceled his intention. She did not want to hear Adelia's nagging any longer. It was more excruciating than having to be infused because of illness.
“It's a good thing he's not really dead and his son is okay too. Otherwise, I'll break her neck, after she gives birth.”
Adelia's expression, made the two men in the hospital room gulp. Delano thought about his future. He had to be very careful, so as not to make Adelia angry.
“So .. where is Bella now.” Aditya who recovered faster thanks to the best treatment, asked in a curious tone. The young woman is the mother of her child.
“While this was treated in this hospital as well.” Delano answered because he took care of it. “After that, it may be tested for his psyche first and if the result is bad and does not interfere with the pregnancy, the plan will be moved to a mental hospital. Om don't mind, do you?”
Delano felt he needed to ask Aditya's willingness. Bella is Aditya's wife and is pregnant with her child. Of course the opinion of the middle-aged man remained necessary.
“It feels like the best. Perhaps better than prison,” Aditya replied with a very slow nod of his head. He was sure that his wife was sick.
“Thank God then. I thought Papa didn't want him to go to a mental hospital.” This time, Adelia spoke.
“Sick people are treated, Adelia. There was no point in him going to jail mentally like that. What is, he's getting damaged in there. Especially in pregnancy.”
“Tumben really wise.” Adelia did not hesitate to mock her father.
“Because at last Papa was conscious,” muttered the patient with a guilty look. “Should have been, Papa heard your Mama's words and yours.”
“You are sorry now also free.” Adelia really did not hesitate to reprimand the father, even with a piercing sentence.
“Nothing will change, even if Papa regrets and apologizes. Now, Papa should be more focused on the future alone,” added Adelia who now really sounds very wise.
“Since when did Papa's daughter become so wise?” Now it was Aditya's turn to taunt the princess.
“Since I dated om-om,” Adelia replied casually, no matter if the lover will feel offended.
It was fortunate that the good Delano was just laughing to hear it. For some reason, he was no longer too upset to be called om. Of course, that only applies to Adelia. When he was called om by someone else, Delano still felt annoyed.
“Omong-by.” Suddenly Aditya spoke again with a more serious face. “When do you want to get married?”
***
The couple sitting in the car were silent. They decided to go home because Mbok Darmi was going to stay overnight, accompanied by a male worker from home. However, from the hospital to Adelia's house, the lovebirds remained silent.
“Trust no.” Delano quickly and firmly refused. “I don't think my heart and brain will be okay if I stay with you.”
“Dih, wedding keblet yes, sir?” Adelia asked that to mock, but who would have thought that Delano did not dismiss her.
“Ya.” The man who was still sitting behind the steering wheel of the luxurious car did not hesitate to nod. “Actually now I am indeed married, but it is definitely not possible in the near future.”
“Loh, why?”
“Yes because your papa is sick.” Delano was puzzled by the surprise of the lover. “We should wait for him better first dong.”
“Oh, yes.” Adelia's turn to nod, though awkward. “Should wait for my papa first.”
“So when do you want?” Delano asked again.
“What?”
“Married.”
Adelia did not answer the lover's question directly. To be honest, he doesn't know what to answer either. First, because Adelia does not know when her father is healthy enough to attend her wedding. Second, Adelia also did not know if she could take care of the wedding while in college.
“Actually, I want to go to college again,” muttered Adelia after thinking long enough. “I feel I've pretty much left behind.”
“No problem.” Delano nodded with confidence.
“But I know Daddy can't wait for me to graduate either, right?”
“Actually it doesn't matter either.” This time Delano nodded. “I can wait, at least until you finish the final exam.”
Adelia snorted hearing that. What the lover said actually sounded very rushed in his ears. It was as if Delano did not want to wait that long. The final trial for him is still quite a while. Maybe another year or two, maybe even more because he had time off.
“Search time only during long holidays.” Adelia finally decided. “I don't mind holding the status as a wife of people when college later.”
“Serious?” delano looked in disbelief. “I do not want if you suddenly pull your words again loh.”
“Iya. I seriously. We can get married when the campus is off long enough and my papa is healthy,” said Adelia with full confidence.
“You won't regret getting married young right?” delano asked just to be sure. “If I won't curb you, but your world will change a little.
“I am very sure,” Adelia replied by looking straight into the eyes of the lover. “Soalya, I can only be the same Daddy only and Daddy has been married.”
Instead of being offended, Delano laughed at that. She felt Adelia who was now very adorable and it felt like she wanted to be alone. But of course Delano still remembers the promise he made with Oma Tessa.
“Can I kiss you?”
Both of Adelia's eyebrows shot up at her lover's question. He was surprised to hear that frontal question, but in the end nodded. “Originally do not just keep it straight,” murmur slowly.
