The Destiny of the Mute Girl
Episode 4 ~ Flashback (2)

...☘️☘️☘️...

Sister Ibel's words really made me more anxious and frightened. Afraid that Mala would actually leave me and our children. On one hand I felt guilty for not being able to take good care of Mala and making her fall to this bleeding. But all this has happened and I can't change it even for one second.

I was just pensive, sitting with Mas Ammar and Mas Sadha. Meanwhile, Father, Mother and Sister Vanny went with Sister Ibel to the nursery to see my two children after finishing taking care of Mala's move to the nursery.

"You must be strong, brother. Mala, and most especially your children. They need you who must stay strong. She needs her husband and her children need her father. Your shoulders must be stronger than ever, Dhana." said Mas Ammar, who tried to calm my heart.

"Mas Ammar is right, Dhana. You must be strong and sure that Mala will definitely recover. He will come back with us." said Mas Sadha who helped calm my heart.

My tears were unceasingly pouring down my face. All the words of Mas Ammar and Mas Sadha are true, but the fear that envelops my heart cannot simply disappear.

"Dhana was so scared, Mas. Dhana is afraid of losing Mala as Dhana is losing Adek. Dhana can not be strong anymore, if you have to experience something similar to what happened seven years ago. Enough of these tears are pouring in because Adek is gone, and Dhana won't be able to lose Mala."

Broke my tears because I remember the very sad events in my life and Mas Ammar immediately hugged my body tightly. I can't lie about my feelings right now. The fear of loss was so domineering that I could not control my own feelings. I cried in the arms of Mas Ammar, along with a gentle touch on my head because of Mas Sadha's hand. These two men are trying hard to give strength to me the weak heart.

***

Four years passed but Mala did not wake up from her coma. For four years, I took care of my two children who are now four years old. Lucky, I was really lucky because there was Mom, Sister Ibel and Sister Vanny who helped me take care of Damar and Wulan.

Damar and Wulan, that's the name I gave my twins. For the past four years, I've decided to focus on taking care of my two children, becoming a father and mother simultaneously because my wife is still in a coma. While the Cafe business is entirely given to my trust manager, Mr. Dewa.

Me, Damar and Wulan often come to the hospital to visit Mala. At first I wanted to take Mala home and take care of her at home. But my family disagreed because it would put Mala's life at risk. I had to agree to it and keep my wife in the hospital.

One day, I was asked by Mas Sadha to bring Damar and Wulan to the office and then had lunch together because that day Kak Vanny had delivered a lot of food to the office. Meanwhile that day, it just so happened that Mom was not home because she helped me take care of Mala in the hospital with Dad and at home there was only Bi Iyah.

A few months after I married Mala, Mas Ammar, who had been living in the house of Father and Mother, chose to move into his own house. I can't stand in Mas Ammar's way, just like Mas Sadha. They have their own families and children. Although I have often denied that our lives are now separated, they are all true. Me, Mas Ammar and Mas Sadha have their own lives.

In our childhood mansion there was only me, Mala, Mom and Dad. My mother wouldn't let me buy my own house. Yeah, I'm following Mom's request because I think who else will take care of Dad and Mom besides me. Not that Mas Ammar and Mas Sadha can't take care of Mom and Dad. As Father and Mother's children, we decided to help each other to take care of our parents.

Me, Damar and Wulan also visited Mas Sadha's office after a short stop to the hospital to see the condition of Mala. Damar and Wulan are very happy because they will meet their clients who rarely play at home. While we were there, Mas Sadha and I had lunch together. Mas Sadha also helped me to feed Damar, while I was busy feeding Wulan.

After we finished lunch, I intended to take Damar and Wulan for a walk around their large office. They looked very happy and cheerful, walking with me. But when we passed a mading, suddenly Damar stopped his steps and wanted to see the mading. Somehow my son was eager to see something at the top of the mading so I had to carry his body. Then I let go of my daughter's hand so I could carry Damar to reach out to something on the top of the mading.

"German..."

Suddenly Mas Sadha's voice sounded very loud from the end of the corridor. Suddenly I immediately lowered Damar's body and rolled my eyes towards my daughter who was standing on the threshold of the stairs, about to walk and go down.

"Wulans... Wulan... come back Honey!!!"

My daughter didn't respond to anything, she just kept moving closer to the stairs. Seeing him who was almost on the threshold of the stairs, I rushed towards him and took Damar with me.

"German..."

I flinched when I saw my daughter who was about to parachute down the stairs. But fortunately, Mas Sadha came at a very appropriate time and immediately grabbed Wulan's body very swiftly.

"Darling... You're okay, aren't you son?" mas Sadha said as she gently stroked my daughter's face and I saw her.

"Wulan... You're okay, aren't you? Why are you walking here? This is very dangerous, son." said I who squatted between Wulan and Mas Sadha while still holding Damar.

"You can't be careless like this, Dhana. If Mas is a little late, Wulan can immediately fall down the tablets." said Mas Sadha who seemed to be scolding me but looked calmer.

"Sorry, Mas. Though from a long distance Dhana has called Wulan to return. But it seems Wulan did not respond to Dhana's call, Mas." answered me who had just realized the strangeness in my daughter.

"Don't respond to what do you mean Dhana?" asked Mas Sadha who looked confused.

"Lately Dhana feels there is something strange about Wulan, Mas. He never gave any response when Dhana tried to call him. It was very different with Damar. When Dhana calls Damar, he responds to Dhana quickly. But Wulan is not like Damar. If Dhana remembers, when Ziel, Al, Syahal and Shahil were four years old, they were all like Damar. They respond to whatever we say even if it's just the usual babbling of toddlers. Even Damar can already call Dhana with Papi's call, while Wulan can't, Mas."

With all my might I tried to shake off my fear with Wulan's condition and tried to find answers from Mas Sadha.

"Shahal and Shahil are like that, Dhana. Even when they were two years old, Syahal and Shahil could already understand what Mas and Vanny said. Mas often train them to pick up strange objects that they just recognized, and they give a good response. Should be at the age of Wulan at this time, he can already call you like his brother, Dhana." said Mas Sadha who made my heart even more unpleasant.

My heart grew deeper and made cold sweat splash on my forehead while watching my two young children. Mas Sadha who was still crouching beside me grabbed Wulan's hand.

"Wulan darling... Wulan don't play all the way from Papi anymore huh. Play with Mas Damar, don't go anywhere. Wulan heard Paklik, right, son?" mas Sadha said while stroking my daughter's head.

My eyes kept on Wulan. Even from such a close distance to Mas Sadha, he also did not give any response. My daughter just kept quiet and suddenly her cries broke. Seeing Wulan crying, Mas Sadha and I took Wulan and Damar to Mas Sadha's room to calm her down. In Mas Sadha's study, I laid Wulan and Damar's sleeping bodies on the couch.

"I'm sorry, Mas. Dhana becomes troublesome Mas Sadha like this." said I who was not happy with my middle mas.

"Ck! What the hell are you talking about, brother. This is Mas's office, which means your office too. So don't talk like that again when dealing with Mas. I don't like it!!!" mas Sadha replied while looking at me sharply.

I just smiled knotty. Since long ago until now, both Mas Sadha and Mas Ammar, their nature is still the same and I love them more than my own life.

"Dhana... Can Mas say something?" asked Mas Sadha who suddenly.

"What Mas?"

"But you're not offended, brother. Mas just wanted to advise you to go somewhere, and this has to do with Wulan." he said again that looks careful.

"What is Mas Sadha saying?"

It was very clear when I saw the look on Mas Sadha's face that turned into melancholy, his eyes were fixed on my daughter who was asleep on the sofa. I kept noticing Mas Sadha's strange and agitated attitude.

"Mas Sadha... What is it?"

"You'd better take Wulan to an ENT specialist, Dhana. Mas was worried that Wulan had an abnormality in his ear. Mas worried that your daughter could not hear and could not speak like other children in general, Dik." replied Mas Sadha whose eyes were still towards Wulan.

Degh's!

Mas Sadha's words seemed to strengthen my feelings lately. As a sign, if Mas Sadha can also feel what I am feeling. But I chose to dismiss my bad feeling because Wulan could not be flawed.

"Dhana... Are you okay, brother?" asked Mas Sadha who grabbed my shoulder so that my daydream was blown away instantly.

"Mas Sadha would like to accompany Dhana to the hospital to see an ENT doctor and check on Wulan? Dhana is not strong enough, if the feeling of Dhana and the feeling of Mas really happens to Wulan." my reply which suddenly made Mas Sadha stunned.

"So you also feel what Mas feels about your daughter?" her flabbergasted asking did not expect that I also had that feeling.

"Fill our minds the same, Mas. So how? Would you like to accompany Dhana?" I replied who asked back to make sure that Mas Sadha could really accompany me.

"okay... I will accompany you to the hospital now. Come on!!! Faster is better, brother. I hope that our feelings are wrong about Wulan's condition."

I did not expect that Mas Sadha would move this fast and directly get closer to my daughter who was still asleep. I saw Mas Sadha directly carrying Wulan's body and walking out of the room. While I was still flabbergasted on the spot, realized instantly when Damar called out to me as he woke up and his finger pointed towards Wulan who had been taken away by Mas Sadha out of the room.

Hurrying, I moved and immediately grabbed Damar's body for me to carry. With wide steps, I caught up with Mas Sadha who was already standing in front of the elevator.

I saw Mas Sadha who was walking fast while carrying my daughter to her car and I just followed her from behind while carrying Damar. After we got into the car, Mas Sadha immediately drove his car at high speed down the long road. During the trip, we just kept quiet and occasionally looked towards Wulan behind who was sitting with Damar. My eyes were suddenly hot when I saw them but Mas Sadha always tried to calm my heart.

"Wulan will be fine, Dhana."
