Oplas
chapter 22

Juno was still unconscious. He has been moved to the inpatient room with life support tools still attached to his body. Beside her was Anette reading a romantic comedy novel.

Anette stopped reading. He rubbed Juno's head which was still lying weakly. It was already the fourth day Juno had yet to wake up from her coma.

"Juno, aren't you tired of closing your eyes hmm? Is your dream there so beautiful that you won't wake up?"

Suddenly the door opened. There was a hara who came with a paper bag in her hand.

"An, let's eat first" said Hara.

"Thank you mom, but An's still full."

Hara approached Anette and rubbed the girl's head.

"Yesterday you only ate once. Let's eat."

"All right mom."

...

This afternoon Anette visits Juno's apartment for a little clean-up. There is a room that he needs to clean. Anette wiped the bookshelves that were dominated by Juno's gundam collection.

Anette accidentally dropped a blue box. The contents of the box fell. There was a small blue velvet box and a piece of paper there.

Anette took the stuff. He sat down on the side of the bed to read the piece of paper in his hand.

I'm not good at An's words. Ilove you. Marry me Anette Veronica.

The words to the point typical of Juno are written on the piece of paper. Anette's heart was pounding. Slowly Anette opened the small box earlier, she smothered her mouth in surprise when she found a plain white gold ring inside.

Anette took the ring. It turns out that inside the ring there is a carving of his name.

My God, so Juno had prepared all this for him. Jeez Anette remembered, when preparing to go home from the camp at that time she had seen the wrapping box that had fallen earlier in Juno's bag.

Anette cried, she felt herself to be very mean to Juno. The man looked very serious with their humbungan. But by not knowing herself Anette even hurt Juno.

Anette didn't mean to hurt Juno. Nor is it difficult to love the man, yes Anette has loved Juno. Yesterday Anette was just not ready to build a new relationship while the pain of her old wounds had not subsided.

Would Juno still want it if Anette now accepted the failed proposal?

Anette wore the ring on her ring finger. Anette returned to clean the room before returning to the hospital.

In Juno's room there was only Keanu sitting on the sofa while playing his phone.

"Sister," Anette said to Keanu.

"Hi An," Keanu replied.

Keanu walked over to Anette. "You okay?" Keanu asked to look at the face of his former lover.

Anette nodded. "Yes." Yeah."

Keanu nodded, though Keanu was sure there was something behind Anette's grief.

"Then I went to the cafeteria first to buy coffee" Keanu said before leaving the room.

Anette turned to sit on the side seat of the gurney where Juno's body lay helplessly. He grabbed Juno's hand and held it.

"Juno, I've found it. Look, I'm wearing it, pretty, right?" Anette showed off the ring on her ring finger.

"Let's just say I'm a girl who doesn't know herself. If your proposal still applies to me, I will accept it Juno. I want to be your wife. Having as many children as you said at the time."

"If I get married later, I'll have a lot of children. I want my house to be crowded with laughter, unlike my family today who feel lonely in the midst of wealth," That's what Juno once said to Anette.

"I'm sorry if my heartache also affects you" Anette said.

"I love you Juno" Anette said those words for the first time.

Anette kissed Juno on the forehead, making her tears fall on the man's cheek.

Unexpectedly, Anette's speech gave Juno a reaction. Juno's hand that was in Anette's grasp moved small. His eyes slowly opened.

"J-juno you're awake?"

Juno's eyeballs are moving according to the light of the room. The man is unclear. Anette quickly pressed the button to call the doctor. Shortly a doctor entered the room with two sisters accompanying him.

They checked Juno's situation. One by one the alleyways attached to Juno's body began to be released, except for oxygen hoses and infusions. After finishing the treatment, the doctor approached Anette.

Anette rubbed her face gratefully, "thank God..."

"Then we excuse him, for more details let later one of his family members meet me in the room."

"Yes doc, thank you."

The doctor and the two sisters came out of the room.

With a thumping heart Anette brought herself closer to Juno. Anette was unable to hold back her tears of happiness.

"An," called Juno in his weak voice.

"Yes, I'm here" Anette clasped Juno's hand.

"Don't leave me," said Juno.

Anette placed Juno's palm on the side of her face. He nodded.

"I'll always be with you" Anette hugged Juno carefully. "I love you" said Anette.

...

Juno's room is now filled with Juno's parents Keanu and Wilona and the three male friends. Who else if not Monnie, Gia, and Jamie who always faithfully accompany Anette to look after Juno.

"Juno let go of Anette first, let her eat for a while" said Hara persuading her youngest child to hold and play Anette's hand.

"No, An will be gone" Juno replied.

"Yes mom let me feed Anette," said Keanu teasingly made Juno look sharply at her brother tsringai.

"Just do you a favor!" Juno's grunt made the others laugh.

"Well, you eat there first. But don't go." Juno said, whining like a child.

"Yes" answered Anette.

"Based on slave love" Demian said.

"As papa not only," said Juno did not accept.

"Already ah," said Hara mediate.

Suddenly Keanu stood up, making everyone there look at him.

"I'd like to let you know that my wedding and Wilona's hastened into the day after tomorrow."

Keanu's words successfully shocked everyone.

"Why is it so sudden, won't yesterday's decision be next month?" Ask Hara.

"The way is accelerated because. k-because Wilona is pregnant with my son mom," explained Keanu a little nervous.

Everyone was shocked, to the point that Anette who was chewing her food choked. Monnie immediately poured water on the girl.

"My God.. Why are you so careless Kee?" Tanya Hara did not believe what she heard.

"Sorry mom," that's all Keanu can say.

Hara looks disappointed.

"Nasi has become porridge, so do your best" Demian said.

Keanu approached his parents and hugged him tightly. Likewise with Wilona who had earlier looked down embarrassed.

"I used to see that woman at the club near my apartment" Gia whispered to Jamie.

"really? I doubt the child in the womb is Kak Keanu's son" Jamie whispered.

"Your huss is just gossiping" said Monnie. "But I also doubt it's Keanu's son" continued Monnie who successfully lured Gia and Jamie to grab her hair.

On the other hand Juno noticed Anette who was eating.

"Is he okay to hear this news?" Juno asked inwardly.
