"But I have to see Doctor Audry first. He suddenly fainted and bled. I have to make sure it is" Sheila said.
"All right, let's go over there. I want to see it too."
Sheila and Willy immediately headed to the IGD room where the officers had taken Audry.
Upon arrival, several doctors were seen treating the woman. There is also an oncologist who has been handling the case.
"Doctor Selma?" muttered Willy.
"Who's Doctor Selma?" ask Sheila. During this time, Sheila had only known a few doctors at the hospital.
"He's a cancer specialist. Is Doctor Audry seriously ill?"
Sheila was surprised to hear Willy. Remembering Audry who in recent months looked weak and paled.
"Sheila, let's wait outside. Let them handle Audry," asked Willy followed by a nod of the head by Sheila.
They then sat on a sofa in a room - next to the IGD room, waiting.
"Sheila, actually I want to talk to you about something."
"Speak here, brother. What's up?"
Willy's face had turned serious.
"I'm very sad about what happened to you and Marchel a few years ago. I'm sorry I couldn't save your son" said Willy.
Sheila rubbed her face that was wet again by tears. If you remember a small baby who is lifeless with some parts of his body that turn blue, his tears seem unbearable.
"Why is Brother Willy sorry? It's not your fault, brother. It seems, fate alone is not being kind to me."
Willy could see the deep sadness that was drawn on Sheila's face.
"You still mad at Marchel?" ask Willy. "How long are you going to punish him?"
"If Brother Willy just wants to talk about him, forget it. I'm not interested. Please, I want to forget everything."
Although Sheila did not want to talk about Marchel, Willy continued to talk. "Actually the most injured among you is Marchel. You only think of your sorrows, your own sorrows. But have you ever thought about Marchel's feelings?"
"Why him? He was just a husband who left his wife pregnant without giving any news. And after so long gone, he came back and doubted his own son. And that's not all. Her good treatment of me is just pretend."
With a smile, Willy shook his head. "You only see everything from one side, Sheila. You don't realize the truth. Try to see everything from Marchel's point of view."
Sheila closed her eyes violently. Trying not to be affected by Willy's words. "Did Brother Willy ask Brother Marchel to see me?"
Willy nodded back. "No! Marchel never asked me. I just saw your sadness."
"Sadness?" Both of Sheila's eyeballs were again inundated by the clear liquid.
"Look at Marchel, Sheila... Think about him a little bit. You knew Marchel even earlier than your brother. You know better what Marchel looks like than your own brother. Shanum's departure made his world seem to stop. He suffered so much. Even so, he still tried to fulfill his promise to Shan. Marrying you and trying to accept your existence is not easy for him. Even so, he still tried to open his heart to you. He closed the door of his heart to the others to make you the only one. Even if it ends up hurting his own feelings. Until finally without knowing he has fallen in love with you. But Marchel was not someone who easily recognized her own feelings. That night, in a drunken state, he only let out the entire wound in his heart.
Do you know, because that night, he felt very sinful. He feels guilty for thinking he betrayed you by sleeping with another girl. He was even embarrassed to meet you. I know, he took the wrong path by choosing to leave to forget that night. It was his passing that made him realize his true feelings for you. He also wanted to come back. But as a result of the outbreak, the area was is envisaged. There is no telecommunications network. So that they are completely isolated from the outside world."
Sheila was stunned to hear Willy's explanation. Given how innocent the thought of a 17-year-old girl who thought her husband was going to avoid her. Sheila never knew where Marchel was going for seven months nor did she know how her husband was going. At once, Marchel was evil for leaving.
"What's? Isolated?"
You don't know how devastated Marchel has been for four years. He had lost Shanum, then lost his wife and son. When Shan left, he was still able to live well. But when you left he was completely destroyed. For four years, there was not a single day that he passed without looking for you. Why do you only see your suffering? Why can't you see how much Marchel is suffering, more than you are. Sheila's had enough. You and Marchel have suffered greatly. Why don't you start everything from the beginning? Wouldn't your revenge only hurt you? You didn't even give Marchel the slightest opening to be able to talk to you alone. Even though he's trying so hard to get your forgiveness."
There was no word on Sheila's lips. Only tears fell down his face. Recalling all his memories with Marchel in the past.
"You still have time to fix everything. Marchel is going abroad. He has received a divorce warrant from the court. He told me he wouldn't be able to let you go. So he's going to go and start his new life. And you can start a new life too. Sheila, Marchel doesn't give up, she just wants you to be happy. That's why he's gonna let you go, so you can be happy."
Sheila froze, as if her tongue was stiff. Just to make Marchel feel the pain during this time, he was to file a divorce lawsuit. Though deep down, the love for Marchel did not diminish in the least. However, his selfishness for revenge overcame everything. Sheila can only cry over everything. Revenge is like a fire. Win becomes charcoal, lose becomes ash.
***
The conversation halted when a female doctor came out of the room. Sheila and Willy quickly stood up, approaching the doctor.
"Doctor, what's wrong with Doctor Audry? Is he seriously ill?" Sheila was in such a hurry to ask as if she was really worried about Audry.
Dr. Selma removed the mask that covered her nose and mouth. Then take a long breath. Bending his head a sign of respect to the young woman who was the owner of the hospital. "Yes, Dr. Audry is suffering from blood cancer and is already in a severe stage. He had already undergone chemotherapy but apparently it did not pay off. The situation is down and it's very worrying" replied the doctor.
At once Sheila's body felt cramped hearing the doctor's explanation. His eyes returned to tears.
Willy rubbed his face, concerned about what happened to his partner. Fellow obstetricians Willy and Audry sometimes treat patients together. Although not very fond of Audry, but for Willy, Audry is a good doctor and responsible to his patients. "I just found out about this, Doctor. All this time I thought she was okay."
"Yes, Doctor Audry requested that his health condition be kept a secret. Then excuse me first" said the doctor.
Sheila was silent again. Somehow knowing Audry's condition instead of making her heart happy, it made her feel sad.
*****
After her conversation with Willy, that afternoon Sheila came to a baby grave. As usual, Sheila will bring a bunch of white roses and also a small doll.
While holding a headstone made of teak wood with beautiful carvings bearing the name Angela Aditya Mahesa, Sheila cried there.
"Angel, what's wrong with you just retaliating for what they did to us? Is that wrong? Why is it so hard to get rid of this pain. Are their actions worth forgiving? No right? You're not wrong, are you?"
"They've made my mother live to suffer for your loss. And now, when mom manages to repay them all, why isn't there the slightest happiness? Mother is suffering even more. Angel, is this wrong?"
Sheila continued to cry there, spilling all her grief. A message from Arman.
My boy... Stop this whole thing. Don't dirty your heart with your revenge. Try asking your own heart, is there any happiness you can get from this revenge? Not only will they suffer because of your vengeance. You will also suffer more because your heart has been filled with hatred. You will not get any satisfaction from this vengeance. Revenge will not make your heart happy. You'll only distance yourself from the one who loves you.
