PARTING: NEWLYWED
CHAPTER 24: THE LOSS

That's how we are now. I always stay at the hotel and Tama always picks me up in the morning to take me to the florist.

Then one night, when I felt I was at the peak of my tiredness. Because our husband and wife relationship that I think is unclear and Tama who continues to choose silence without explaining the events at that time. I went to a mini bar.

Unintentionally there I met my ex-lover, Ardan. Either by chance or by some means a soul mate. Again when I was at my saturation and my fragile point he was always there. We drank together as usual while telling stories about our daily lives and life experiences. Like there is no boss to tell the same thing until it does not feel the time passed.

I who seemed to be heavily drunk could not afford to walk. In an unconscious state I saw my phone screen vibrate and light up the sign of an incoming call. I wiped it with my finger and the call took place but I only heard the voice of people speaking indistinctly from there. I don't even care about it.

When I was about to leave that place my unbalanced body was in a daze, Ardan swiftly caught me.

"Be careful" he said. I held her hand to make a crutch while smiling at her, hinting that I was okay.

But can not be covered, now I grimace feel dizzy in my head. Shortly after Ardan kicked me out of the bar, my eyes saw the figure of Tama coming closer towards us. He came up to me intending to hold me in place of Ardan but I brushed his hand away.

Ardan who saw my attitude seemed to understand that our relationship was not okay at this time, let alone I also told him a little. Tama continued to insist on taking me until finally there was a debate between Tama and Ardan. Next the incident changed a little, Tama became pushing Ardan's body away from me. Then Ardan who did not accept even against him.

"This is my wife. Who do you dare to hold it for me to bring?!" tama's voice sounded pressing with a trembling tone full of anger.

"I'm his friend. Your wife is in a bad condition, and so is her heart. Better let me just deliver it." explained Ardan. Tama chuckled with a small smile.

What the words of this boy, as if to claim that he is now able to calm Shina. Think Tama.

Because the two men defend each other's ego eventually a fight ensues. I who was dizzy did not want to see events that added to my mind more chaotic. I let them go and left them.

Because in a fairly heavy drunk I staggered to and fro and by myself while messing with things that made me upset and hurt. Unknowingly, I was in the middle of the road. Samar heard the sound of people shouting at me to pull over and be careful. In a state of chaos and unconscious finally a vehicle that was driving hit me. I was bounced unconscious.

Sayup-sayup heard the sound of Tama and Ardan shouting my name. The people who saw also crowded towards me, and then my gaze darkened.

After that, I was in a coma. I was hospitalized for a few weeks until I finally regained consciousness. Then from here my memories of marriage and the events before the accident faded.

My worried parents did everything they could to recover my memories. But in fact it is not that easy, I have not been able to accept Tama fully as my husband until I prefer to split up and stay at the hotel.

My parents said from the accident there was an incident that caused me trauma and did not want me to remember that was when the excitement about the photo of Tama and Nadia that spread in the company forum. Their vulgar undressed photos wrapped in blankets made me feel disgusted towards Tama. It makes me unable to accept that I am married.

Tama obviously told me at length that night.

Maybe at that time the one inside Shina's body was no longer Shina's soul but someone else's. But by the time I got inside Shina's body, I was already inside our house not in a hospital bed like when people woke up for the first time after a coma.

Like the stories in the novels I've read. Or could it be that there are other souls or perhaps many souls scrambling to enter Shina's body before my soul enters it? I don't know. Shina is just a character in a novel.

Tama also tells about the moment of her recovery. When the wife was in a coma due to an accident and after that her father died because of his delay in solving the problem that had bad consequences for the company as well.

The sound of a thousand foot step rang out hurriedly towards his Papa's room. Things get more inconclusive until everyone gets together.

"Papa!!" Shouted Mama Tama while crying. My mom hugged him while crying.

Then the sound of the footsteps of the shoes broke their cries. The boy who was waiting for his arrival had only appeared before them at that moment. Tama then knelt down and rested before the lifeless body of her father. He cried with all his regrets.

My mother and her mother held her, the boy who was always in waiting for her presence by her parents cried hysterically with all her fragility.

The funeral was immediately held. Tama who looks very hurt because of regret and loss continues to prostrate crying over the tomb of his father. His mother was also beside him while wiping him and persuading him to go home because soon the night will change.

Although still in a state of mourning that set aside deep sadness, he could not continue to dissolve in sadness because the company needed him. His wife is also in the hospital.

He tried his hardest so that the problems that dragged his good name and his company were quickly resolved. He wanted to keep the company that his father had built in earnest. He also did not want to lose his wife after losing his papa because of the incident as well.

After conducting an investigation, gather evidence and provide evidence about the incident that night to his trusted lawyer who he sent to solve a case involving his name. Tama was finally able to regain the trust of investors and the company's board of directors.

It turns out that the incident that night was masterminded by Nadia and her papa. He wants to be Tama's wife in a way that seems to be between Tama and himself having a special relationship behind his wife to lead the public to trust their relationship. Also the way that Nadia did so that her parents' company also advanced rapidly and has a big role and the benefits of Papanya Tama company located in Surabaya.

Nadia devised the plan to tarnish Tama's good name as chief director so that the company's shares would mostly fall into her father's hands. And no one trusts Tama to hold company shares in Surabaya city branch.

Therefore inevitably Tama will depend on him and need the help of his father, that is what was in Nadia's mind at that time.

After the crime was revealed Nadia and her papa were reported to the police with all the evidence she had collected so far.

Her father was arrested for a corporate sabotage plot while Nadia was admitted to a rehabilitation home for an obsessive illness that wanted to marry Tama.

Tama also told me that Nadia is now in recovery. Nadia currently only felt fragile. He continues to meet Tama to ask for Tama's mercy so that her papa is commuted and Tama also does not continue her claim to him anymore.

But Tama ignored despite how many times Nadia begged. Because his love was no longer there for Nadia's family, considering her father had died because of the incident and his wife was also lying weakly in the hospital because of the incident.

I listened carefully to each story. It had already digested all of what was in Shina's head at the moment. I Rona who occupies it now know for sure how Tama who lost her Papa and also her sadness for his wife at that time.

He's the one who has to survive alone to save the company. And also accept the situation of his wife who does not want to be with him afterwards.

The fear of loss, because his carelessness did not want it to happen to his wife, was enough to just lose his father. That's why she always gave up on letting Shina do what Shina wanted as long as Shina didn't leave her.

"I always begged you not to leave me. I'm afraid of Shina." He said he held my hand. I just fell silent and slowly took off his hand.

"I want to sleep again. My head is still dizzy." I said then positioned myself in a position to get ready to go back to sleep. I don't know what to do after hearing all these stories.

Again Tama understood my attitude even he also lay down beside me. I turned my back on him with my mind still ungodly, maybe because of the influence of the drink that still gives the effect.

"Shina, can I hug you?" said Tama's permission to disperse my daydream.

I was silent for a long time. "May." I replied afterwards.

Slowly she hugged me gently. Her breath that brushed my back hair felt warm. His approach has led me to dreamland.
