Jayden exited the hospital area with his head bowed. He did not realize that a middle-aged woman was following him.
“Wait!” she shouted for a moment before Jayden got into his car.
Jayden. Although he had only met once, Jayden knew who she was. A beautiful woman who is still beautiful at her age who is no longer young. The woman Jayden found several times was being stared at by Delia on her phone screen. It was Farida, Delia's mother.
“Can we talk?” tanyakanya.
Jayden and Farida were sitting side by side in a long chair not far from the parking lot. Both of them sat more than a meter away.
“If mom's goal is to tell me to stay away from Delia, I've done it. Not afraid of your threats, this is all I do for the good of Delia.”
“In your opinion, why did Delia choose to be with you instead of with her parents?” farida asked without looking at Jayden.
“Because I love him,” Jayden replied without the slightest hesitation.
Farida smiles scornfully, “love does not make us full.”
“But love can make the heart happy. If our hearts are happy, eating fried beans can also be good at eating steak in a fancy restaurant.”
“You're naive, Jay. Say, one thing you can give Delia, but we can't give.”
“Avidence,” replied Jayden, “I'm always there for Delia. To help her dry her hair, help her open the bottle cap, help her scratch her itchy back, and help her turn her tears into a smile of happiness.”
“Ck, it's just a trivial thing anyone can do.”
“Mother is right, it can be done by anyone, even by you right? Then why don't you do it? Just once did you ever ask, what does a mother's daughter need? A lot of money? Luxury facilities? Or your whereabouts, his parents.”
“We work hard for his happiness, you know?!”
“Really? And did Mom succeed? Your goal is to make Delia happy, right? Is Delia happy?”
Farida looked at Jayden's enthusiastic eyeballs. Just for a moment, then he refocused his gaze towards the front.
“Delia just needs your attention, the warmth of a family. Money is not everything, Ma'am.”
“Can love wake a coma person, Jay?”
Jayden turned to Farida.
“Delia had an accident, and now she's in a coma. Doctor says there is no desire from inside him to heal.”
“What?” Jayden said softly.
Jayden followed Farida's footsteps into a vip room. His feet stopped stepping as he was right at the door of the barrier between himself and Delia.
Farida opened the door. There was Arga sitting on the sofa.
Seeing Jayden's arrival, Arga stood up. “What are you doing here?”
“Mama brought Jay here, Pa.” Farida tried to calm Arga by patting her husband's chest.
“Why did Mama bring him here?” ask Arga to Farida.
“Mama can even invite the American president here if it can cure Delia, Pa.”
“Papa said, we will take Delia to Singapore!”
“Pa, the doctor said, there is no desire to heal from within Delia. So Mama thinks, we should raise Delia's spirit to heal from within herself.”
Without them noticing, Jayden was already sitting next to Delia. He stared at the woman he loved so much.
“Del, this is me dear,” Jayden said as he kissed the back of Delia's hand. “Sorry I didn't come that day. I really wanted to come, baby, but I thought it would be better if we weren't together. Not because I don't love you. Instead, it's for your sake Del, for your safety. I think, you will be safer if you are under the protection of your dear papa.”
Jayden was surprised that Delia's index finger seemed to move in her grasp.
“Del, you hear me baby?” jayden said enthusiastically.
Hearing Jayden's words, Arga and Farida who were arguing turned towards Delia. Sure enough, Delia's eyes seemed to tremble.
Farida hinted Jayden to keep talking. Jayden nodded in understanding.
“Del, this is your necklace. I'm wearing it?” without waiting for long, Jayden immediately put on a necklace with a bird of swans belonging to Delia. “The chain was cut off, maybe you were in a hurry to open it that time huh? You take it easy, later we fix ya?”
“Jaaayy ..” Despite this, the word is quite clearly heard.
“Jaaayy ..” says Delia. He opened his eyes and smiled at Jayden.
The doctor came to the room. He checked Delia's condition closely.
“It's a miracle, sir,” the doctor said as he removed his stethoscope. “As I said before Delia has no desire to heal, but I don't know what makes her suddenly have the desire and strength to be able to heal, Mr.”
“That's the name of the power of love, Doctor.” Farida answered.
The doctor glanced at Jayden who was still holding Delia's hand, “well I understand. I will continue to monitor Delia. For now, I'm sorry.”
“Thank you Doctor,” said Arga sincerely.
Arga looked at Jayden and Delia who were still staring at each other.
“I miss you, Jay,” said Delia.
“I miss you too dear,” replied Jayden, “thank you for staying.” Once again, Jayden kissed the back of Delia's hand.
“Jay?”
“Hemmm?”
“Congratulations on pregnancy Stars.”
“The child in the woman's womb is not her son Jay.” Farida interrupts their chat, “ is it Jay?”
Not only Delia, Arga was also confused to hear the words of his wife.
“That's true Jay?” ask Delia.
“Do not talk too much, rest.” This time Arga commented. He turned to Jayden. “Jay, can we talk outside?”
Hearing Arga's words, Delia suddenly clasped her hands on Jayden.
“Papa will not separate you again, Papa promised,” Arga said.
Delia glanced at Jayden who nodded towards her. It's like saying 'it's okay, baby'.
Slowly, Delia released the link of their hand. He let Arga and Jayden out of the room where he was being treated.
After Jayden and Arga's departure, Farida approached Delia, and sat down in the chair Jayden had been sitting in.
“Honey, how are you feeling right now?”
“Feeled long sleep Ma,” replied Delia. He then felt his head and was surprised to find no hair there.
“Your head is hit by impact dear, there are several procedures that require you to cut your hair.”
“But Ma, it would be very strange if I was bald. I'm being ugly huh?”
“You're still beautiful, baby. You see, Jay did not take his eyes off you one bit.”
Delia's face met. But also sad at the same time.
“Del, sorry Mama ya.”
“Sorry for what Ma?”
“Because all this time, we were too busy outside so ignore you and your sister.”
Delia pensively heard Farida's words. I don't know why his mother suddenly spoke like that. Wisdom behind the accident?
“Mama promise, after this, Mama will take a lot of time for you, Mama's children. Mama will also ask Papa to reduce his work time, so that at least once every week, we can walk together. How?”
Delia smiled, but also cried.
Farida wiped her daughter's tears lovingly. “No more darling, no more tears. Mom please.”
“This tears of happiness Ma,” says Delia, “Ma, Delia wants to hug Mama, can?”
“Of course dear.” Farida got up from her seat and gave a hug to her eldest daughter.
