The Curse of Love
Part 55 Enchanted
Anggita painstakingly feed Sofwan.takuk him talk anything that can please his heart.
"Suster.Then Sania promised to visit me here.But every day I sit in this park waiting from morning until night, he doesn't come."
"I miss my wife sister.her eyes glazed over..."
"Pity.he was in a deep depression.Sometimes he remembered but sometimes he forgot everything."
"Mas Sofwan.we walk around the village yuk..we look for fresh air..."
She turned to me.For a long time she looked at me.The brown eyeball suddenly sparkled beautifully."
In a state of silence, sadness and distress, he seemed ordinary. But as soon as he smiled, two deep dimples on his cheeks instantly appeared.
He was like a jewel drowning at the bottom of a kali, buried in formless mud. But once honed, then radiated its beauty.
"Here I am.and he has a wife and children.and he seems to love them very much."
"Yes.yes.you want a way out.I'm bored here just looking at fish and fountains, Sania never come.I'm tired of waiting."
"Where are you two going so early?" We cross paths with Sofwan's nagging and protective third brother.
"I would like to take Sofwan street around, so that he does not feel bored."
"Oh..do not take too long yes.so that he is not too tired.so his doctor's message." I just nodded.
"Mas Sofwan.I greet him who walks while daydreaming..."
"Don't daydream a lot.later old fast you know..."
"Can I ask you something?"
"Yes please sister Anggita..." His answer was barely audible.
"Did Sania promise to see Sofwan here?"
Suddenly my eyes sparkled again hearing the name Sania I mentioned...
"I'm not feeling good, are I...?"
"She promised to come here, sister, but said sister Nuri, she is now happy again with her family's chosen man."
I quickly switched the conversation when the lecturer's face turned cloudy.
"Mas...That's ice cream..Does Sofwan like ice cream?"
"Likes.likes...ayo..." He pulled my hand towards the playground.
"Oh.. just pulled my hand anyway I've baper gini ya...."
"Mas I'd like to get five ice creams...."
"Kok five mas, we're just the two of us?"
"Three flavors of vanilla chocolate Dina's favorite, Juned, Syifa..." He counted with his finger.
"I'm the one with the strawberry flavor...sister want what flavor?"
"I think strawberries too.but the kids Sofwankan mas has not come.later the ice cream hunt melted."
"Oh yes...Sania doesn't like ice cream either.fear of coughing she said..."
"Yes already..two mas not so five.My children have not come..still school and still on play."
The ice cream seller looked at me.I gave him a gesture.then he looked at Sofwan again with pity.
He was so absorbed in licking his ice cream, just like a child. His mouth is full of ice cream.
"Slow down aja mas.tuh belepotan all..." I wiped his mouth with a tissue.
He looked at me deeply.My heart beats three times as fast as it feels."
"Hey.your face is reddened.we go home aja yuk..yuk already shining a bit hot, because my head is also rada dizzy sister..."
I stammered. "Eh, yes mas.let's just go home.It's time for Sofwan to take medicine too."
Along the way I talked to him so he wouldn't get bored.
She shook her head.I don't remember the nurse...Work where I forget my name.
I only know my name is Sofwan from those who call my name.
"Who do you remember who Sania, Dina, Syifa and Juned were?"
"That's all that's recorded in my memory, it's just their names that I remember.but I don't remember their faces at all."
"I just remember that Sania was my wife and Dina, Juned and Syifa were my children. But I can't remember their faces."
"The more I tried, I felt like my head hurt a lot.and it hurt me a lot.that's why I don't want to try to remember them first."
"Keet it's true said mbak Nuri that Sania cheated ya....?" I'm ingrained.
"Well.it's up..we're in yes..new take medicine..." Mas Sofwan just nodded.
"Well..after a walk yes...how is it going, deck Anggita?" Nuri greeted me in the guest room.
"As far as today it's been nice, brother.if he starts daydreaming, I always distract him by talking to him."
"Tomorrow she's in therapy.you'll come with us tomorrow." Yes brother..
"Suster.I'm sleepy.my head also feels dizzy..."
"Mas Sofwan sleep, I'll keep watch here."
I saw at the door a face very similar to Sofwan, looking up from the door.
"How's my sister's sister doing, sister?"
"Well, okay, ma'am..this is with mbak who is it?"
"Juwita.I'm Sofwan's brother number two."
"So Sofwan's brother is different from the other two.This one is silent and talks as necessary."
"Well, may you be at home here guarding until he recovers."
"Have these few days he was rather calm.Before he always went berserk, to the point that we had to give him a sedative injection."
"The medicine do not forget to be drunk, Sister, yes mbak..." My answer.
I looked at the tired face that was peacefully asleep.
"As much as possible I'll help you fully regain consciousness mas."
"If it is true of what all Nuri said, if your wife has left you with her affair.then I am the first person to try to enter in place of her position in your heart."
"Since I first saw you, I've been so fascinated by you."
"I know you have a psychiatric disorder, but I'll always be by your side to be a sedative for you."
"You fool Sania.Why she suffered because of her love for you."
"How could you leave him for an uncertain love."
Anggita continued to assume while sitting next to Sofwan's bed. Without him knowing that Sania's suffering was not small either. His love struggle to maintain his household.
Not to mention the insults and insults that he continues to receive. He was forced to give up and had to go away to let go and give up his love
be aground.
His struggle to support their three children, without help from anyone.
Nuri's speech has indeed influenced the hearts and minds of Anggita a little.
Actually he wanted to ask further, but it was not his authority to know more about the background of his patients.
Her job here is only as a nurse who takes care of her patients until they recover. If you want to ask, who should you ask? While the three older sisters Mas Sofwan is not the type of person to talk to.
