Rai blinked her still swollen eyelids. He could see the back of Esta's head sleeping on the edge of her bed. A faint smile grew more and more on his lips. He was afraid that he would only dream when he saw Esta in front of his eyes.
He glanced at the wall clock that showed at 3 am. He stroked slowly at the back of Esta's head and continued to sleep again.
Rai choked when the atmosphere around him was already brightly lit. He was surprised when two nurses came in and were about to change the infusion fluid and clean the wound.
There's no Esta there. That was what made Rai circulate his gaze in confusion. His chest skipped a beat suddenly. He was covered with worry and fear.
“Sorry, Ma'am. Where is my wife, Mommy?” Ask Rai to the nurse.
“Wife?” The two nurses looked at each other in confusion.
“Oh, I mean, isn't anyone else here? The man who took care of me?”
“Oh, less know sir. You see we just got into sif.” Obviously the nurse.
Disappointment from Rai's face. He pondered even as the two nurses came out of his room. He did not think that all this was just a dream.
He was too hopeful with Esta's presence to the point that he was carried away by a dream. But it felt very real as Esta roared and was stunned beside him. He could even feel Esta's tears that he wiped with his hands. Is that all a dream?
Uh. Rai was disappointed. Especially when he saw Hera who then appeared from behind the door. His feelings are pias.
“Bapak is awake? What do you need? Let me get you.”
“No need. I just want a break.” Reply Rai who then pulls the blanket back.
“Oh yes, Sir. I have to go back to Jakarta.”
“OK. Please take care of my work for a while but I recover.” Rai's Order. Though in his heart he was upset because he had to take care of himself in times of illness like this.
Ah, if only Esta was beside him. It's definitely not going to be this sad.
“Alright then, sir. My father healed. Let's get in the job again.” Book Hera before leaving the room.
“Hmmm.” Rai only responded to him at a glance.
Rai's vision was far through the transparent window glass that lay beside his bed. Look at the clouds hanging in the sky. It looks perfect to describe the feeling of Rai who is also cloudy.
The sultry feeling that slowly arose made Rai flap his blanket and then get up from the bed. He stood by the window holding his column to get a wider view.
He looked up when he heard the door of his room open. It must have been Hera who forgot to say something to him. He was also lazy to say thank you because Hera had taken him to the hospital last night.
“Oh? Awake already? What else is it anyway?”
That's not Hera's voice. But the voice of the woman he had longed for so long. The voice that was still stored in his heart perfectly.
Rai immediately turned around and looked at Esta with teary eyes. He could not believe that Esta was really in front of him at this moment. It's not a dream, is it?
“Why even that? I saw a ghost.” Said Esta who still put a bag containing fruit on the nightstand.
Rai was still staring in disbelief at Esta who was now standing before him. He urged his consciousness to return. He did not want to dream in broad daylight like this.
“Rai?”
Click, click.
Esta flicked her finger in front of Rai's face to resuscitate the man. Seeing Rai gape and sculpt like that, made Esta feel misgivings.
Rai's consciousness realm has returned completely. Now he was absolutely certain that what was in front of him was real. The one standing before him was truly Esta.
Instantly Rai immediately pulled and grabbed Esta's body into his arms. He held the body tightly.
But even in a battered state like that, Rai's energy is still strong enough to hold Esta's body to remain in his arms.
“What the hell is it? Lepasih.” Force Esta.
“Shortly. Gini is just a minute.” Lirih Rai closed her eyes and hung her chin on Esta's shoulder. He sounded like he was breathing a sigh of relief. He was grateful that this was not a dream.
Esta chose to be silent for a while. Until Rai was willing to let go of his embrace. He even rubbed Rai's back to calm the man down. Though he did not know what reason made Rai look very frightened and at the same time relieved when hugging him.
Almost ten minutes they were in such a position. And Esta's legs have begun to ache because Rai is resting on her. He really did not understand why Rai was acting this way.
“What's the problem?” Ask Esta lirih. He did not want to disturb Rai's pleasure.
“He-em.” Rai replied while nodding his head slowly.
“What problems?”
“I guess dream.”
“What dream?” Ask Esta who is getting more astonished.
Slowly Rai let go of his embrace and looked at Esta's face intently. He cupped Esta's face with both hands.
“I thought last night I was just a dream. I'm so scared. I'm glad it wasn't a dream.” Obviously Rai.
Esta scrunched her forehead. Meaning that last night Rai was not fully aware of his arrival?
“Oi. My cheek hurts.” Esta. His face became peyot because Rai pressed both cheeks until his lips advanced forward.
The cup!
“What is it?!” Strangled Esta who suddenly kissed Rai lips.
“Hehehe. I just want mastiin if this isn't a dream either.” Answer Rai with ease.
Buk up!
“Aaan anyway?” The protest of Esta whose face was already blushing. Staring resentfully at Rai. Instantly he hit Rai's chest to make the man grimace in pain.
“Auh!” Pekkik Rai while holding his chest after releasing Esta's cheek.
“Oh? Sorry, sorry. Really sick?” Esta asked who was suddenly worried.
Rai nodded with still grimacing. It's just pretend. In fact, his chest was not that painful.
“Mending rest anyway. Come.” Force Esta by leading Rai who is still holding her chest. He looked grimacing when he was smiling happily.
Esta helped Rai sit on her bed. Then he covered the man's body to the waist.
“Still sick? Wait here just a moment, I'd like to call a doctor.” Said Esta who was about to stand up from her chair.
“Udah was not as sick as before. I want to heal.” Prevent Rai.
“You fruit? I brought an orange. Want?” Tawar Esta's.
Rai nodded. Then Esta peeled an orange for him. The woman even immediately bribed him to the end.
Getting such attention, making Rai's heart feel like it will explode because it is filled with flowers. His smile continued to expand on his lips. Yet he still wore an expression of pain as Esta watched him. His attitude reappeared.
