Tarnished Before Accident
Chapter 72. Already Decided

Two days after the tragedy, our relationship was a little strained. Not because Rey changed her attitude towards me, but she was rarely at home. As a form of accountability, Kak Rey helps Mama Sonya to take care of Kak Rena.

I can still be patient and give him some encouragement. Saying that everything will be okay. And when this happened, when Kak Rey was about to go to work fully dressed in neat work clothes. Someone suddenly knocked on our house.

There are usually no guests in my house this morning. In fact, when Kak Rey has not left for work there is already a knock on the main door. I rushed forward to check who was coming. There was Mama Sonya standing with a panicked face.

Without caring about me, Mama Sonya came in without me letting her. He breaks into looking for Rey, forgetting his manners and adab as a guest.

"Rey, Reynan!"

Rey's sister who had just finished her breakfast stood up when Mama Sonya called out to her. The four of us: Me, Mama Sonya, Sis Rey, and Mama Diana, were in the living room where the dining table was located.

For the first time I met Mama Sonya. Their views met each other, with faces of shock clearly visible from the look of Mama's face. I was afraid Mama was hysterical when she saw Mama Sonya standing in front of her. But that didn't happen.

My mother was not hysterical, but she shed tears.

"Mrs Hinata?" Mama said softly, calling Mama Sonya who stood up with a surprised look.

"Diana. You live here?" Mama Sonya was surprised to see Mama. He looked at me who was beside him. "Have you found your parents?" Then, his smile expands. "good. Your happiness is complete, right? Not like Rena. He ... critical." Mama Sonya cried after saying that. I was shocked by the information he revealed. His gaze then turned to Rey. "Reynan, Rena's looking for you. I'm afraid Rena's why." Both of his palms cupped his face, appearing to be holding a sobbing sobbing on his chest.

***

The five of us: Mama, Rey's sister, Sonya's mother, and I who were carrying Althaf immediately went to the hospital. The atmosphere was quite frantic with us all speeding up the pace.

Mama Sonya said she had contacted Rey, but was not picked up so she decided to come home straight away. And now we are faced with a doctor who is examining Rena.

Mama Sonya is crying. His talk clearly sounded heartbreaking. How can in his old age actually see the only princess of his puppet die like this. Which mother is not hurt, strong accept what kind of trials he is going through.

"Rena ...." Mama Sonya's voice rang out, lamenting her son who was lying helplessly on top of the gurney. "Rey, please help Rena. He's been looking for you since last night."

Rey, who had been standing next to me, seemed hesitant. Maybe he's still thinking about my feelings. However, as hard as I could muster everything, ask Kak Rey to take care of Kak Rena.

Then, he stepped in slowly and stopped right beside the bed. Dragged the chair to be brought closer to the left side of the gurney, then occupied.

I saw Kak Rey's hand touch Kak Rena's hand, then cupped her. He again invited Kak Rena to speak, whispering something that I myself could not hear.

Although Rey never wanted to admit, I could see a sincerity there. My chest felt like it was being torn into pieces, scraping a wound that began to gap at the end of the heart.

Until then I was surprised by the request of Mama Sonya who suddenly called me.

"Alea!"

I blinked my eyes when I turned to face him.

Mama Sonya knelt before me.

"Alea, I know this is wrong. I know it's hard for you. But, since childhood Rena lost her father's affection. He's not like you who always gets priority from my husband. Although I can't be fair to you, but all this time I've been taking good care of you." He looked down, shed tears and fell on the cheek. "You don't know how I feel as a woman having to take care of my husband's child. How painful is every look on your face that looks so much like your mother."

Then, Mama Sonya suddenly dropped herself, face down almost prostrating. But, his attitude was hastily prevented by Mama Diana.

"Mrs, don't do this!"

I tried to back off so that his head wouldn't touch my feet. I used my hand to hold Althaf, unable to reach Mama Sonya's body.

"You can hate me for all the bad things I've done to you. If you want Hinata's legacy, I give you everything. I don't need it anymore. But, please return Reynan to Rena. Give me back my daughter's happiness."

His request was enough to make my heart growl.

Restore it!

A word that indicates that I am not the owner. I just borrowed it and took it from someone. Yes, until now I have never had, be it the soul and heart of Rey.

***

It was a night where everything felt on the edge of the horn. I've been thinking a lot about what's been going on lately.

It may be true if sometimes there are feelings that do not want to be guarded but can not die. However, there is also a story that really wants to end but it becomes an eternal story.

However, for now it is not the story of Kak Rey and I who will be immortal, but the love story of Kak Rena with my husband.

Feelings cannot be forced whatever that is the reason. If circumstances require separation, should I try to keep it?

Until when guilt becomes the usurper of people's husbands, the usurper of other people's happiness always haunts me. Although I basically do not want it, but in reality I am a figure who does not have a heart that has the heart to ruin the happiness of those closest to me.

"Alea, haven't slept?"

Rey's brother's home at about eleven p.m. He did not come home from work, but from the hospital. This day he spent time to keep the unconscious Kak Rena out of the coma. He was constantly by my brother's side. Am I wrong if I feel jealous of Rey's attention that I consider excessive?

Although it was on my permission, Rey did, and of course because of a request from Mama Sonya who was afraid that Kak Rena's condition was deteriorating so that Kak Rey was willing to take the time to take care of my brother.

He kissed my forehead after I touched his hand.

"Change clothes first, I prepare a drink," I said.

Rey nodded obediently. Meanwhile, I rushed to the kitchen to make him a warm drink. It didn't take long until I returned to the room with a cup of tea for Rey with the man already changed into his sleeping robe.

I accompanied her as she brought the warm tea to the balcony of the room. The cold of the night air penetrated the skin, but I ignored it completely. Right now there's something important that I'm going to talk to Rey. Something I have long been craving.

"Sir Rey!"

He looked at me after sipping a little tea on the lip of the cup. "Heem, you must be tired all day keeping Althaf. Go to sleep first, after this I'll catch up."

I shook my head quickly. It doesn't seem like you need to mince words anymore. For a moment I took a deep breath before finally saying, "Sister, I want us to part."
