The Cold Wife
IYD 47'S

The sound of a hospital device sounded so heartbreaking. It's been a whole day Sweet hasn't regained consciousness. The woman collapsed during her husband's funeral. The doctor said he was in severe shock until it dropped like this.

Alexa was incessantly crying as she clasped Mommy's cold hand. I hope that dear woman will soon be human. Everything that happened really took everyone by storm and shock. Alex's departure was really impromptu and managed to make everyone uproar.

Arel, Sky, Alexella, Jarvis and Winter could only watch it with a look of grief. He was sitting on the sofa without a word.

"I'm going to find that woman." Alexella's fists started making noises.

"Don't be rash, Xella. What if Sabrina is a victim too?" Jarvis restrained his wife who was about to get up from her seat.

Alexella gave a sharp look at Jarvis. "Why are you defending him? Isn't there enough evidence on him? Is it because she's beautiful and you like her?" Alexella Sarcas.

"Baby, this is not the time to be jealous. I'm just giving a response. If he was the killer, he might have run away." Jarvis tried to convince his wife.

"Sad, he was about to run away but we caught him first. You're all blinded by the beauty and innocence of that damn woman." Sinis Alexella brushed off Jarvis's hand.

"Stop it, Xella. We're all grieving, don't make things worse by making rash decisions." This time Arel chimed in.

"Really, Xella. Wait until everything is clear. Jarvis was right, maybe Sabrina was framed. They want to break up our family through Sabrina. Because Sister-in-law is Arez's only weakness." Typhoon Sky.

"No need to interfere, you know what my family is about, huh? If you were in my position, would you remain silent like this? He killed the man I loved. You won't know what it's like to be me, Sky." Grumpy Alexella.

"Enough, Xella. Everyone here is sad. Don't muddy the mood. What if Mommy hears what you say? Mommy's gonna get hurt." Perotes Arel does not like his sister's attitude.

"Not everyone's sad about Daddy leaving, where's your twin, huh? He disappeared after Daddy's funeral." Pissed Alexella.

"He's looking for evidence. If I were in his position at this time. I'll do the same. Sabrina is his wife, she knows better who that woman is. You should know your brother won't pick a woman." Winter said in response.

"Yes. You guys just defend that woman. Don't mind me. Beauty blinds your eyes." Alexella got up and left.

"Follow wherever your wife goes, Jarvis. Don't let him do anything stupid. Your wife is stubborn." Tell Arel to Jarvis. The handsome man nodded and then followed his wife.

The atmosphere of the room is now back to silence. Everything is immersed in each other's thoughts.

Still in the same spot, Arez continued to stare at Sabrina who was lying weakly on top of the gurney. An hour ago he took his wife to the hospital because she had a high fever. To this day, he has not been conscious. Sabrina was severely traumatized.

"Ansel, get rid of anyone who comes to this place. Including family. For now I can't trust anyone." Arez told his loyal assistant.

"Good, Sir. I'll put the guard in front."

"Hm." Arez was silent for a moment. "How's Mommy doing?"

"He is still under the supervision of a doctor and has not been heard. The doctor said the big madam was in a deep shock. It took some time to wait for his consciousness." Ansel.

"Send some bodyguards to guard Mommy's room."

"Good, Sir."

"One more thing, keep an eye on all my family."

"Good."

"Go."

Ansel immediately left the VVIP room at a quick pace. Arez chose to sit on the bank. Grabbing the wife's hand and rubbing it gently. "Wake up, you can't be weak."

Arez was silent for a long time. Then his other hand stretched out to touch the wife's flat stomach. And slowly rub it gently. "You must also be strong, do not be weak like your mother."

****

Sweet has woken up from his sleep. But the middle-aged woman did not seem to want to talk.

Tears kept dripping in Sweet's eye pelvis. He is powerless to return to a reality where Alex is truly gone for good.

"A week ago Daddy was still laughing with Mommy, we spent time together in Bali. Joked together, and the next week she left Mommy first. Everything's like a dream, Lexa." Drop by drop tears kept dripping from his eye peluk. Alexa hugs her to Mommy. They also shed tears of sadness.

"We're all lost to Daddy, Mom. But it's all over, we have to be sincere to make Daddy calm there. That afternoon Daddy told me too, Mom. He wants to keep our family intact no matter what. He wants me to continue to mediate in the chaos in our family. Daddy wants us to live in peace. That's the last time Daddy told me, Mom. Daddy also kissed me so long and deep. I don't know if it's for the last time. Daddy's got a feeling he's leaving." Alexa is long.

"Where's Arez?" Tanya Sweet looked around the room and could not find her eldest son.

"He hasn't come back yet."

"With that woman?" Sweet's tone turned cold.

"Mom, we don't know what's really going on yet."

Sweet was silent for a long time. "Then where is Xella?"

Alexa looked directly at Arel who was still sitting on the sofa with his wife and Gabriel on his lap.

"Xella's coming home for a while, she's not doing very well either." Arel is lying. He was forced to do that because he did not want the Mommy to drop.

"Call Arez, Mommy wants to talk to him." Pinta Sweet with a flat tone banhkan almost expressionless.

"I'll call him." Said Winter who rushed out immediately.

"He'll be here soon."

"Yes, he has to go back to where he came from."

Alexa got a little goosebumps hearing Mommy's cold tone. He's never seen her like this before. "Hm. Mommy ate ya?"

"It's not time to eat, Lexa."

Alexa looked back at Arel because she felt strange with her attitude. Arel who understands that gives Gabriel to Sky. Then he approached Mommy and sat down on the side of the gurney.

"Mom, the doctor said Mommy should eat a lot and rest. Eat a little." Persuade Arel as he kisses the forehead of the Mommy. Sweet was silent and did not respond.

Alexa is getting saddened to see the condition of the Mommy at this time. But he can't do anything.

Soon Winter reentered and approached the gurney. "He'll be here soon."

Sweet looked at his daughter-in-law. "Will he take the woman?"

Winter shakes not knowing. "He didn't say anything. Just saying that he'll be here soon."

"I'm tired, can you leave me alone?" Pinta Sweet closed her eyes again.

"Mom...."

"Go, Lexa. You guys should rest too. Leave me alone. I'm not gonna do anything stupid."

Arel gave his brother a wish to follow the wishes of the Mommy.

"All right, we'll go first. We love you, Mom." Said Arel peeping the Mommy's forehead. Then get up from his position and invite everyone out of the room. And currently only Sweet is there.

Sweet opened his eyes again. Empty look. Even clear circles continued to flow wetting his eye sockets. Even his body began to tremble withstanding the sobs. "Losing you is the thing I fear the most, Mom. And now that fear is really happening. What am I supposed to do now?"

Sweet continued to cry in deep sadness. He deliberately asked his children to leave because he did not want anyone to see it as fragile as this. He is not that strong to accept the fact that the man who always adorns his day has now left and will not return. That's very painful.
