Run Away
35

The single accident that Reza and the Princess experienced left both of them unconscious for several days. The injury suffered by the Princess is only a wound on the face due to broken glass and cracks in the arm bone. While Reza is more severe, although the airbag expands at the right time, but his head is still injured due to impact, leg bones and hands are broken and threatened with coma.

Shelomita kept praying all night for the recovery of Reza and the Princess. He had just been happy to see and be with his son, but now as quickly as lightning turned 360 degrees. All seemed like a dream, that afternoon he got a call from Mr. Jodi who reported that his son and daughter-in-law had an accident. Now that her two beloved creatures are weakly unconscious, Shelomita regrets why she did not hold Reza back and instead let him go.

It's the third day, no sign of Reza or the Princess will come to her senses. Doctors operated on Reza that night after an accident because there was a blood clot in his brain. His hands and feet were also pen-mounted. The worst possibility if Reza is saved is that he will be amnesiac or possibly paralyzed, but Shelomita begs the doctor to save Reza whatever happens later. It is better to see his son alive, even if he is paralyzed..

A glimpse of Shelomita's memories when she first met Reza suddenly reappeared. Reza is a very cute and sweet baby. He married Rizal after he was a widower for a year. Rizal was her ex-boyfriend in High School. They broke up because Rizal was betrothed by his parents to Nora, Reza's real mother who later died after giving birth to Reza.

During her life with Rizal, Shelomita was never separated from Reza. He loved Reza like his own flesh and blood. Even so, his affection for Reza deepened after he was sentenced to have a tumor in his uterus and had to operate. Shelomita didn't have a uterus after. He was grateful, with Reza did not make his life change after the surgical removal of the uterus. She still has children, even though she was not born from her womb.

" Mrs Rizal, the Princess' sister just gave a positive response, it seems like she is starting to come to her senses."

Shelomita turned her head quickly at the origin of the voice that was standing beside her. Doctor Steven smiled and nodded respectfully.

As soon as Shelomita stood up and rushed into the ICU room where the Princess was treated. Sure enough, the Princess had already opened her eyes and turned her head weakly as she heard a noise at the entrance. The Princess' tears dripped down her cheeks when she saw Shelomita coming.

"Mama, where's Brother Reza??" hiss The princess shrieked between her cries. He still imagined Reza's face covered in blood when the accident occurred.

Shelomita rushed to sit on the chair beside the Princess bed and wiped her tears.

"Sir Reza, why isn't it, Ma?? Where's Brother Reza, Ma.." the Princess' moans are getting hysterical.

"Reza's healthy, honey! he's not papa. He's next door, you're recovering yeah, let's see Reza tomorrow."

"Mama didn't lie, did she?? Princess wants to see Reza now!" the princess couldn't believe it, but she couldn't imagine what her life would be like without Reza. Reza is all he has. Her chest was tight imagining that Reza should go before her eyes.

Shelomita shook her head slowly and wiped the tears on Princess' cheek again.

"Doctor hasn't let you wake up, son!tomorrow well, we'll see Reza together, but you need to be healthy first."

The princess turned her head to the male Doctor who was standing behind Shelomita.

"Sir Reza's alive, isn't he, Doc?? Reza's sister isn't why, is she??!" the Princess asked again, she still did not believe in Shelomita's persuasion before seeing Reza with her own eyes.

"Reza's still unconscious, but he's not a papa. Get well soon, let's see Reza, okay??"

The princess breathed a sigh of relief, she was a little calmer after hearing the doctor explain the state of her lover.

A nurse came and injected something in the Princess's infusion tube, before she began to sleep again. His eyes were heavy and finally the Princess fell asleep again.

Shelomita stroked the Princess softly, I don't know what would happen later..

Slowly Shelomita stood up and stepped into the room where Reza was in. Some wires were still attached to his chest, the oxygen hose could not escape supporting his breath either. Reza's left hand and right foot were on bandages and casts. Shelomita was sad to see her son's condition become so miserable like that.

Since Reza was in the Hospital, Rizal always visited his son every day after returning from the office. A lot of mistakes in the past on Reza and now Rizal wants to make up for it. Hopefully his son is still given a chance to recover, Rizal will bring Reza treatment wherever so that his son wakes up and returns to normal life as before.

"Is Reza any progress, Ma??" rizal asked when he saw his wife sitting next to his son's bed.

Shelomita looked shocked and shook her head weakly.

"The princess was aware, Pa, she was rebellious to see Reza so the same Doctor Steven in the sedative injection,” explained Shelomita sadly,

Rizal turned his head to the Princess' bed which was only limited by the curtains of Reza's bed. I don't know why, he was so sorry for his daughter-in-law. Although he had only seen the Princess once, but Rizal could see the sincerity in the figure of his daughter-in-law. Rizal did not get to know the Princess any closer, but he was sure Reza would not be wrong. This time he will give up his ego as a parent and does not want to be a dictator like his parents used to be.

Ever since Reza left home 2 years ago, Rizal actually knew where his son was hiding. He monitors Reza from a distance and asks Mr. Jodi to keep Reza quiet. The decision to take Reza home was forced to do because Rizal could not part too long with his son. Moreover, he knew, there was someone who was recently found looking for information about his son, someone named Toriq. Rizal did not want his son to be involved with anyone, so he asked Mr. Jodi to pick up Reza. But it seems his decision was wrong, Reza was hurt by it. Reza was in an accident while carrying his car.

"Have you eaten??" shelomita asked when she saw her husband just standing pensively staring at Reza who was still tightly closed.

Rizal shook his head and approached Reza's bed. He watched his son's face clingy, Reza's face was exactly that of his mother, Nora. The woman Rizal hated for having to marry him.

At the beginning of the marriage, every night Rizal returned home drunk. Maybe he impregnated Nora while drunk, I don't know Rizal can remember. Because several times he woke up naked at that time.

When Nora becomes pregnant, Rizal is in a dilemma whether he should be happy or angry. But he remained indifferent even though Nora always sincerely loved him. When Nora contracts, Rizal even gets drunk in the pub. He did not accompany Nora to give birth, nor did he see Nora one last time.

Nora died of severe bleeding after surgery. Rizal even found out that his wife died the next day. I don't know what kind of husband he is..!

Rizal regretted his actions to Nora, just after the woman left. And when he saw Reza for the first time, that's when he realized that he was in love with the figure of Nora who had left. Rizal regretted wasting Nora, but his regret did not make the mother of his son return. Seeing Reza grow up with him made Rizal even more tormented because of his regret.

Married to Shelomita, his former high school sweetheart until college became the only option at the time. Both of Rizal's parents no longer arranged for his son's choice. They do not want to see Rizal getting worse because of the departure of Nora, and also Reza needs the figure of a mother.

Luckily Shelomita loved Reza as much as her own son. Even more than Rizal's affection for his son. Rizal became a dictator like his parents because he wanted Reza to grow into a strong figure like him, but it turned out that way was wrong. Since Reza fled because he preferred to continue his hobby of writing rather than continue the family company, Rizal regretted his dictatorship to his son.

And now, seeing his son and daughter-in-law lying helplessly made Rizal feel even more guilty. All this happened because of him, if Reza and the Princess he did not pick up…
