Sharing Love: Mistress (Storage Woman)
M80 : ‘Pere darling, Dan’
M80 🥀 : ‘Pere darling, Dan’
Roughly speaking, humans can be classified into two. Vindictive people, and those who cannot be vindictive. While Ev himself entered into the second group. He cannot be vengeful, even if he has been hurt in such a way. Ev would just remember it, and reciprocate the pain he was getting in another way. Ev even more often forgives and allows, even if he is able to retaliate. Because he was sure, God would forgive him. As stated in the hadith narrated by H. R. Ath-Thabrani, which reads: “Whoever forgives when he is able to reply, then God gives him forgiveness on the day of trouble.”
However, what is already contained in lauhmahpuz—, where all good and bad charities of man— will certainly be accounted for. Similarly, the accountability of a husband who should be able to be a good captain and responsible for the ark he leads.
“Currently the patient can not be visited,” said the doctor who just came out of the door of an ICU room.
The statement made the people who had gathered since then shocked. Not only Ev, Ella, Dean, also Dan who is now there, there are also husband and wife Xander, parents Ev, even Damian and the wife. They came after learning about the news about Darren Aryasatya Xander who had awakened. A miracle they had been waiting for for for 59 days.
“How is my son's condition, doc?” Diana Xander asked as she approached the bespectacled man.
“So far the patient's condition can already be said to be stable.”
Like fresh water that can throw thirst in the throat, the information was successful in relieving them all. At least what they thought did not happen. Darren is fine. His condition can also be said to be stable. It's just that he still can't be picked up.
“However,” connect the doctor. With a flash managed to attract the attention of all those who were waiting. “After more advanced examination, the patient turned out to have dislocated neck bone and spinal cord injury.”
“Doctor mean?” asked Ev who had chosen to be quiet and listen.
“The neck bone dislocation experienced by the patient results in paralysis of the lower part of the patient's body.”
“A—pa?!” surprised Diaman Xander. The middle-aged woman was in great shock hearing the condition of her son that the doctor had just said. “My son has paralysis, doc?”
Doctor with name tag Dr. M. Malik seemed silent for a moment. As if it was hard to convey the information he had. But, how else? The information he has must be shared. Especially with the victims' families.
“Patients experience paralysis from the hip down. For now paralysis experienced by patients can not be ascertained is permanent or temporary.”
“But, doc, earlier said your condition mas Darren can already be said to be stable?” Ella who had been standing next to Ev also opened her voice. Tears are already welling up on her eyelids.
The doctor nodded. “Yes. The patient's condition can indeed be said to be stable, because not a few patients who are in this condition immediately rebel hysterically because they cannot accept the reality. Sometimes we even need an anesthetic to calm the patient. While the patient named Darren Aryasatya Xander does not behave so. However, this condition can not even be said ‘baik’ anyway. Fearfully, patients can not accept the reality that exists, but choose to harbor it themselves.”
“Here is the important role of the family and those closest to the patient to provide support to the patient.” The doctor turned his head, seemingly scanning the humans before him. “Thirty minutes more new patients can be visited.”
Ella seemed to be hearing it. For the last time, the young woman wanted to see her ex-husband. Nevertheless, the next split second of hope just fell from his grip.
“Will but the visiting should not be more than one person,” continued the doctor. “Except on behalf of Evelyn Xander and Dan Xander,” he added, leaving them stunned for a moment.
“Patients specifically want to be reunited with both owners of the name.”
“People want to meet Dan?” ask the small voice that came from the sling of a man. “Mere let's meet Pere,” invites him while moving his hands in the air to reach the mother.
“Mere let's meet Pere. Pere is awake!” exciting And enthusiastic.
The mother turned her face to look at the son. He then smiled slightly as he looked at his son. “And want to meet Pere?” the owner nodded enthusiastically. “Then And have to wait a little while longer. Ok, Schatz (honey)?”
“Ok, Metro.”
Seeing the mother-daughter interaction, some felt increasingly discouraged. Yes, she is Ella. The young woman felt she no longer had the opportunity to meet the man she loved, because she was no longer someone she thought to be close to. When it was just the first time, what the man was looking for was his first ex-wife and biological son. So, what else does Ella expect? He's here only a secret ex-wife married.
“You can wait a minute?”
Ella, who had been silent because of daydreaming, immediately regained her consciousness when she felt a warmth that stopped on her shoulder. It turns out that there's a woolen cardigan from Celine's fashion house for which Ev just sipped there. The price of the cardigan itself reaches $1,050 or about 14 million rupiah.
“I will enter first with my son. Later if Darren's condition is more stable and possible, you will get a chance to meet with him.”
Ella nodded without a sound. What is this woman's heart made of? even so far, he still cares.
“Come Ev. Meet Darren and make sure he's fine,” Diana Xander said as she grabbed Ev's hand for him to hold. “Please entertain Darren, Ev. It must have been heavy for her,” the weaned Diana Xander with teary eyes.
Ev nodded while smiling warmly. “Pasti, ma.”
After the conversation, Ev then took over the son. They wait for a while, before Ev brings Dan with him while holding out his heart to enter the room where Darren is.
When Ev made it through the door that led him into the room dominated by white and dark gray, the man who had filled the hospital bed in a state of unconsciousness, was now awake. He seemed to be in a half-sitting position in the bed. Some medical devices were still attached to his body.
When only two steps entered the room, the son's cry managed to make the pale-faced man turn his head.
“Pere!”
“Come here, my little son,” replied the man in a hoarse voice that would obviously hurt if forced to speak. A smile also fell on her dry and pale lips.
The call certainly makes the little one and more active in the guidance of the mother. When it managed to arrive near the bed, silence was the first thing to mediate between them. Neither Dan nor the father looked at each other without involving the voice. It was as if the father and son were communicating through the heart. Ev is just a spectator among them.
Soon, the pale hand, now wrapped only in skin, a little flesh and bone, stretched out to touch the whole face and slowly moved. It was as if he was recording the entirety of the small face.
“My son.”
It was the first sentence Darren spoke after being silent for quite a while. The man's gaze grew dimmer, also dim because it was covered in tears.
“He looks a lot like me, Ev. Why doesn't he look like you?” tanyanya. “You must hate my face that was lowered so nicely on our son's face.”
Ev turned his face for a moment. She was not used to seeing her ex-husband in this condition.
“I'm sorry dad, son,” said Darren in a shrinking voice. “Pardon the father who has done evil to you. Dad never intentionally wanted to hurt you.”
Using English to communicate, Darren tries to express his apology to the son. While the son himself still looked at him fixedly without a sound.
“Why And just shut up hm? And still angry with dad?” asked Darren with a heart-wrenching sura. However, the answer of the next son even more to make his heart slashed.
“And miss Pere.”
“And miss daddy?”
Little Dan nodded quickly. “Kata Mere, Pere is busy working to make money. So I didn't have time to visit Dan. Mere is busy too, but Mere still has time for Dan.”
Again, again, and again Darren was struck by the plain words of the son. So all this time Ev routinely visited the son on the sidelines of his busy life in the world of show blitz? Unlike her who has a lot of free time, but spent with other women. If Darren finds out he has a descendant from Ev, he won't lose this responsibility either.
“Says And want to cuddle dad?” instead of explaining the complicated matter to the little one, Darren chose to shift the subject.
“And want to cuddle Pere,” replied Dan while nodding.
“Then go up here, let me hug Dan.”
Ev nodded to hear it. “Darren, your condition—“
“I know, Ev,” cut Darren. “I'm fine. My legs are numb, so it doesn't matter.”
Ev shook his head firmly. “No. And it could make you even more in pain.”
“What can I do to hurt me, Ev? there is me who always gives him pain,” Darren replied. “Bring him here, Ev. It's not just Dan who wants to be hugged. Her father also wanted to hug Dan for the first time.”
Knowing that he will not win against Darren, Ev reluctantly brings the son closer to his father. With various considerations and keeping in mind Darren's safety, Ev sat the son in the same bed as the father. The boy seemed to be smiling broadly as he managed to sit in the same place as the father. And also seem careful not to add to the pain of the father, according to the orders of the mother.
“Come on Dan,” watered down Darren while opening both hands wide. “Culf of father.”
Without a second thought, Dan certainly immediately slammed into the arms of the father. His little body was buried in the chest of his father.
“Sorry can only give you a hug when dad's body is like this. Really, I never wanted to be the last to know about your whereabouts.”
The embrace was held again, but with regard to the comfort of the son. “People dear Dan,” oozed Darren at the top of the son's head, ending with a kiss in the area that smells typical of the baby.
Darren shed his tears as he said so. He actually felt a claustrophobic increasingly disappear when he managed to hug his flesh-blooded body. His one fear during his sleep he could finally overcome. Darren thought he never had a chance to hug his son, just like his other deceased sons. These two sons he could not even reach, even once in the subconscious.
If only God had been kind enough to give him one more chance, Darren would not have wasted it. He will build a palace filled with happiness for Ev and their son. In the palace Darren will make Ev empress, while the son will be made crown prince who will never lack affection.
“And sleep?”
Ev gave a brief nod as he took over their son's body. After a hug tinged with tears in the blue a few hours ago, little Dan fell asleep in the arms of his father. It is a habit to fall asleep after crying.
“Where do you want to take him?” darren asked, as if he was still not satisfied spending his time with the son.
“Ke next room. And will be more comfortable sleeping there,” reply Ev.
“Hm. I'm just gonna give Dan to Dean. Let Dean take care of Dan.”
Darren nodded briefly. Ev then moves on, taking Dan in for Dean. After giving the son away and making sure Dan slept well, Ev returned to Darren.
“How are you doing now?” ev asked with a gaze scanning the entire face of his interlocutor. After 59 days of falling into a coma, Darren's appearance really changed 180° degrees. His hair that used to be cut neatly, has now extended to reach the neck. Ev knows very well if Darren hair is typical hair that is easily long if not quickly trimmed.
“As you can see, Ev. I am now a disabled man,” Darren replied plainly.
“Jaga talk to you. At this time your condition is still uncertain—“
“My entire lower body is numb, Ev. What should I expect?” cut Darren while smiling. “This is a recompense from God for the pain I gave you and our son.”
“….”
“I deserve it, Ev. You don't need to feel sorry for my condition.”
“….”
“I ...indeed deserve to be like this,” shrewd Darren while lowering his head. “Only one scares me because of this condition. Feelings of fear about Dan who could later be embarrassed to have a father like me?” coined.
“At a time when children his age were given the abundant affection of a normal father—“
“Stop talking nonsense, Darren! I'm not here to listen to that.” An upset Ev chose to move out of his seat. “Dan will still accept you as you are. Just so you know, before Dan met you, and thought you hated him for never coming to see him. He never hates you, there he blames himself.”
“….”
“Therefore stop talking nonsense. And love you for who you are, because Dan knows you are his father. The father he loved so much. Father so great in his eyes.”
Darren lowered his head. Tears are back in her eyes. Darren actually hates this kind of situation. But what is power. The current condition really made him fragile and crybaby.
“Ev.”
“Hm?”
“I'm sorry,” Darren said in a hoarse voice. “I'm sorry for all the pain I gave you during our marriage.”
“….”
“I ...actually never intended it that way.”
Ev sighed heavily while looking at his interlocutor fixedly. “Look at me, Darren Aryasatya Xander!” his orders while carrying the face of the ex-husband to jack up. “I've forgiven you,” he said when Darren had also looked at him.
“All your mistakes I've forgiven,” but I can't forget. His lips were too faint to say that.
Ustadz Handy Bonny once said that; “The woman has a womb, a place of love and affection. He can always forgive. But, sorry, he can't forget. Forgive, but not forgotten. Like broken and rearranged glass. It can still be neatly arranged, but can never display the same shadow.”
Ev has forgiven both Darren and Ella. But forgetting their mistakes is not easy. Every time he looked at the son, Ev was always overshadowed by the pain Darren had given him. Forgiveness may take time, even if the time period is uncertain. But to forget, it is not something that can be ascertained.
“I also want to apologize, Darren.”
“Sorry for what? You never got it wrong, Ev.”
“There. I've got the same big mistake, which is covering up Dan's presence in this world.”
“….”
“Sorry for having left you no chance to meet Dan since the beginning.”
Darren nodded while pulling the corners of his lips to form a smile. “I've forgiven you. Even though I once felt very disappointed because I was the last person to know about his whereabouts.”
“Sorry.”
“It’s okay. I know it's not easy for you to take all those decisions,” he said with a small smile. “You've suffered enough all this time, Ev. So, would you like..” Darren brought Ev's hands together for him to hold. He'll try to ask for one more chance. Even if he knew his current condition was not perfect anymore.
“Why Darren?” Ev looked at him with a frowned.
“You gave me...” The sentence just hangs in the air, when his fingers find something that circles the ring finger of his interlocutor.
Ev, who was confused because Darren was noiseless again, followed the direction of the man's gaze. Aware of what Darren is in the limelight, Ev immediately draws both of his hands.
“Ev.”
“I've tied up with Dean,” says Ev to the point. “We will be getting married soon,”.
Bak was hit by an invisible godam, Darren's head immediately buzzed loudly to hear it. “You...”.
Ev nodded steadily. “Yes. We have decided to get married next year.”
“But, how about Dan?” lirih Darren.
“Slowly And will surely understand. After all Dan is also close to Dan.”
“Then, how about me, Ev?”
Ev immediately fell silent to hear it. A second later, a smile fell on his lips. “You should also be happy, Darren. I'm sure there are other women out there who are capable of making you happy.”
“….”
“Or you can start over with Estrella.”
“Don't mention that name,” says Darren flat. The look on his face changed instantly.
“Why? He's in front. She wants to meet you for ter—“
“I don't want to,” cut Darren.
“Don't be selfish Darren. He's a victim too. Apart from his mistake, I also know if he is in a position that has not been easy all this time.”
Darren smiled faintly for no reason hearing Ev's words. “Now I know why I could fall in love this deep.”
“What?” confused Ev. Suddenly Darren said ambiguously, puzzling him.
“This is you, Evelyn Angelista. Human angels who always managed to make me fall in love with all the simplicity you have.”
“….”
“Thank you for stopping by in my life, Ev.”
Ev tang could hear it again. “Darren?!”
“I love you. From the past until now.”
The beautiful woman looked up to hear Darren say so.
“If coming back with me is not an option, then be happy with the man you have chosen. I hope he will give abundant happiness to you and our son.”
After saying so, Darren seemed to move to rest his head. Then close your eyes while pulling both corners of the lips to form a smile. Leaving Ev still locked onto what he had just said.
“I've always loved you, and I never loved her once. Only my body has ever betrayed, but my heart will never betray.”
