The Desired Angel of Heaven
Chapter 108
“Honey, tomorrow your eyes can be operated.” Said Faiq gently, “There has been a benefactor who donated his eyes to you.”
Hani just silently heard her husband's words. He felt that something was scratched in his heart. But he doesn't know what it is. This day, his lower right eye continued to graze. Instead of believing in superstition or primbon, but every Hani is in the condition of the right eye pricked he will experience sadness.
Faiq pushed Hani's wheelchair into a park near his wife's room. After seeing Junior who was now getting healthier, he felt grateful.
Hani stroked his chest which suddenly felt tight. Sadness suddenly clouded his feelings.
“Yang …. “ Faiq calls his wife in awe.
He crouched down in front of Hani whose face looked gloomy. Both fingers hold the fingers of Hani who still looks pale, because how many days have not been exposed to sunlight.
“Didn't we promise there won't be any more secrets no matter how small ...” Faiq looked at the sad face of his wife uninspired.
Hani breathed a heavy sigh. She felt the warmth of her husband's hand. But it could not reduce the gloom in his heart. Tears without feeling slid on his smooth cheeks.
Happiness wrapped in sadness crawled over Faiq's heart at the same time. How not, he was grieving because Adi had just died. And before 6 hours Adi's cornea must be removed immediately to be given to Hani. While the operation must be done before 12 hours after retrieving the cornea of the eye from the deceased donor
And he thought how to tell Hani and his children the news of Adi's death. He was worried that Hani would be shocked, because even though Adi is the father of his children. If Hani knows the chronology of Adi's death, it will certainly make Hani more grieving.
He believes there is an inner bond between Hani and Adi. Although Hani did not say but he understood, Adi had filled his days for 4 years, and Adi was the father of his sons and daughters. Of course it is not that easy for Hani to forget, even though on the lips he did not admit it, but when Adi's existence among them, he could see Hani still looking tense while talking to the former.
“Yang …. “ Faiq squeezes Hani's fingers gently, “What's bothering you. Let's say let's face it together …. “
“I don't know, somehow my heart feels broken …. “ Hani again patted his chest that felt tight.
The shadow of Adi's smile briefly flashed through his mind. Hani did not understand why Adi's face was so attached to play in his head. He tried to close his eyes, but was unable to eliminate a sincere smile with a sharp look from the black eyes of the former.
Faiq stood up straight. He held Hani and sat him on a park bench. His eyes did not budge looking at Hani's face which was still gloomy. Faiq shifted his seat and immediately grabbed Hani tightly. He knew the cause of the concussion of the wife, but Faiq had not dared to tell Hani the news of Adi's departure. He will be frank about Adi if Hani finishes surgery. If told now, Faiq is worried that it will affect the psychic Hani.
Feeling the embrace of her husband who channeled warmth to her made Hani's tears even more swift. He spilled his heart. After Hani's sobbing began to stop, Faiq released his embrace. He wiped away his wife's tears still hanging from his eyes.
“How do you feel now, is it calmer?” Faiq raised Hani's bowed chin.
Weakly Hani nodded his head. Crying for 20 minutes simply lifted the gloom that plundered his heart.
“Mas, I want to go back indoors.” Said Hani lirih.
“Alright darling. We're going back inside. Too long outside exposed to air and pollution is also not good for you.” Faiq replied softly.
He immediately lifted his wife's body and sat back in a wheelchair. He slowly pushed the wheelchair back into Hani's room.
“Honey, now you have to rest. Recover power for tomorrow operation.” Faiq said softly.
After laying Hani on the bed, Faiq looked at her brighter face after crying. He could not imagine how Hani's reaction when he found out Adi died because it protected them from the crime of Hesti who wanted to hit the car he was parking in the city park.
Hanif entered the room with a sad face. He had just followed Adi's burial procession. After stopping for a short shower and changing clothes, Hanif returned to the hospital. Overnight he and Johan stood guard on Adi's side, because the doctor had warned that Adi's condition was not possible for surgery. As Adi's lawyer, much of what he had to deal with included the transfer of Adi's assets to his successors.
Once Adi was declared dead, he, Hanif immediately improved at the residence of Madam Linda to prepare everything including contacting Mr. Ustadz whose house is close to the mosque in the complex to carry out fardhu kifayah (everything related to the process of handling the body from bathing, mengafani, soldering to buried the body islamically).
“Nif, we all mourn the departure of bang Tama.” Faiq said quietly, worried that Hani heard their talk, “I beg you, don't show our sorrow when you are with Rara. I'm not ready to say this to Rara, let alone she will have corneal transplant surgery tomorrow …. “
Hanif looked at Faiq with an indescribable look. He's really grieving. He has not worked with Adi for two years. But Adi's attitude was very good to her. There was no more arrogance that he had seen and heard.
Last night he was with Johan and Adi still had a chat. Rusdi's corporate lawyer was also present with Linda. Hanif was unable to shed tears as Adi handed over all the assets he had to his three sons and daughters with Linda and Rusdi as witnesses.
Linda accepted Adi's decision. He could not help but cry to see the state of his beloved son.
“I'm sorry, ma. I have not been able to make mama happy ... “ said Adi lirih making Linda feel like sliced into a smile.
Linda grabs Adi's ripped hand. He caressed the hand of his only son who had lost his taste. Kiss it with all my heart.
“Mama is guilty and sinned against you …. “ Linda said with a tear that plunged freely on her tapered cheek.
Adi shook his head while rubbing his eyes to hold back his tears from spilling. He did not blame his mother. He is the man in charge, whoever seduces, if he is strong and able to survive then no matter how strong the wind blows will not knock down a tree whose roots are solid.
And he is ready to bear the risk of fatal mistakes that he has done so far. He cannot blame others if all decisions are in his hands.
“Nif ... “ Adi's voice was heard softly in Hanif's ear.
He gestured with his eyes for Hanif to come closer. Hanif slowly approached Adi and stood beside her.
“I'm sorry for my mistake with you and Hani.” Adi said slowly.
Hanif shook his head quickly. He held the hand of Adi who was wrapped in a gip. Unable to see his boss and former brother-in-law who always appear perfect, but now helpless in a hospital bed with bandages that wrap all over his body.
“We have forgiven you, long before Adi asked for it. Now Adi has to heal. Kids still need his dad.” Hanif tried to encourage her.
Adi smiled thinly. The flashback of his 4-year household trip with Hani is clearly illustrated. The shadow of cold behavior on Hani and the twins danced in his eye peluruk.
Gentleness and affection Hani has no effect in the life of Adi who is used to being stiff and cold. Hani's presence is only as a release of his biological desires as an adult man, without involving the slightest feeling in it.
At the birth of the twins, Adi's freezing had softened. He began to pay attention to Hani and the twins even though he just looked without ever touching his twin son. Until Helen's presence destroys a piece of flavor that has just begun to grow in her heart.
“Mas ...” Hanif's voice breaks Adi's daydream.
“I want to meet Reza ... “ Adi's ghost heard in Hanif's ear.
He immediately whispered to Johan to meet Faiq and asked him to go to Adi's room. And it was before Faiq that Adi breathed his last, bringing regret that would never end.
“Ku hope mas Faiq remembers all the sayings mas Adi.” Hanif said after freezing his heart remembered the last minutes together he and Adi had melted.
“I will always remember it.” Faiq said firmly.
He will not waste Hani and the children. Adi's last words and messages will be a whip for him to be more vigilant in looking after his wife and children in the future.
