The Injured

The Injured
Almost Fatal


It wasn't easy for Echa through the fact that there was about the removal of her womb. Where she can no longer have children. In fact, she desperately yearns to have a boy.


Radit faithfully aids the psychic recovery that Echa suffers. Slowly but surely Echa can smile again. Little by little we can forget what happened.


"Mom, don't be sad anymore. Brother Sa is also sad if Bubu is sad," said Echa's second child.


Echa hugged Aleesa's body. During the post-healing, it was Alees who had always been faithful to accompany him. Skipping some events created by their families.


"Thank you, sweetie." Echa kissed Aleesa's forehead very gently.


In the father's room, Addhitma was looking at his son's face. He seemed to know the sadness that had been quiet all this time.


"You disappointed?"


Addhitama's question made Radit stare at the father.


"This is your decision. This is your will, you should be more chested," asserted the father again.


Radit was silent. Addhitma handed Radit an envelope.


"It's from your wife."


Radit was very surprised by what his father said. He grabbed the envelope and read it.


Dear : Husband.


I can't say much when I know that I can't contain the fruit of your love anymore. My heart was disappointed and hurt to accept this fact. But you always give me support. You are even sadder than me.


Now ... I've become an imperfect woman again. There's been a flaw in me. If you want to find a more perfect woman than me. Insha Allah I am sincere. However, you should also be able to let go of me because I really do not want to be in two. Simply the story of my Father and Mother became a valuable lesson even though it was painful for me.


I'm sorry, because I can no longer be the perfect wife for you.


...Elthaski ...


Radit folded the paper, then put it back in the envelope.


"Don't look at your wife's imperfections now, but look at her struggle to perfect your life full of flaws" Addhitama said.


Radit fell silent, he digested the words of his father.


"Don't let go of the jewel you've held. For the gold of imitation that deceives your eyes."


Jamb.


The father's words were like bullets shooting at the target.


"We know women who are trying to promise you sweet things" Addhitama said.


"Never waste him who sincerely struggles. Manemani you from zero to now. It's not him who just came and just wants pleasure."


"You are laughing with another woman, while your wife is crying because she cannot accept the reality. Are you a model husband like that?"


"The carcass is still a carcass, a stench!"


Radit's mind is raging. His father's words made him aware of the mistake he had made. Radit has been home for a week and never talked to his wife because Echa was asleep when he came home. His three children seemed reluctant to approach, like knowing what their father had done.


When her husband comes home from work, Echa will pretend to be asleep. She didn't want her emotions to be unstable when she saw her husband with a face. When there is a problem with the husband, Echa will not tell his family. He'll tell his father-in-law. Apparently, his suspicions are correct. Addhitama tells Echa to pretend not to know. Addhitama also brought in the best psychiatrist to help him rise from the sense of loss is also not thinking too much about the husband who tried to play behind. It's hard, for sure.


Radit immediately left the father's room. She rushed to her home and left her two children with her sister-in-law. Heart rages. He felt really guilty about his wife. The woman who has given birth to three children who are very beautiful and also smart. However, it was as if he was not grateful for what he had received. He almost fell into the abyss of regret.


At home, his broad steps led his body to their room. Before pressing the doorknob, Radit took a deep breath first. Slowly, Radit opened the door. He saw the room was empty, but the door to the balcony opened.


Tonight the wind was so strong that Echa let her body get hit by the cold night wind. Just by wearing a shirt with no arms. He closed his eyes by leaning on the swing. Radit's heart is sliced, he looks like he saw the events of a dozen years ago. Echa who slumped and kept her grief alone.


Radit stepped very slowly and Echa was surprised when she was hugged by her husband.


"I'm sorry" said Radit.


"Sorry for what? Did you have the same fault as me?" ask Echa in a flat tone.


He still looks ordinary, but not with his heart. Radit parsed his embrace, he stared softly at his wife.


Radit said in a very weak voice. He clasped the hand of his beloved wife.


Echa just smiled faintly and said, "i'm not perfect. You have the right to seek or find a woman who is more perfect than me. You're a man, who will never trace. Even if you have a wife and children."


"No, Honey. I'm not gonna do that. I'm afraid, I'm too sad in the face of this reality" he explained.


"You're sad and looking for happiness with another woman. Without you realizing it slowly but surely you're getting my heart sadder and more hurt." Radit hugged his wife's body very tightly.


Echa's tears can't be shed anymore. His heart is too sore. Simply cry loudly in the heart without anyone else knowing.


"Better let me go. Don't hurt me the way my father hurt my mother. It was too imprinted and very painful."


"No. Dear. No, I'm sorry."


When Radit was with another woman, her three children seemed to have very strong instincts. They did not want to be approached by their father. They always stick to their mother.


Echa doesn't reply to Radit anymore. His hand did not return Radit's warm embrace. However, Radit still tightly hugged his wife's body and was unwilling to let go. He's really very sorry.


Ten minutes later, Radit felt his wife's cold body. When he broke his embrace, Echa's face was already very pale and her body was shivering.


"Darling!"


Radit was really surprised to see his wife like this. He immediately brought his wife's body into the room and enveloped Echa's body with a thick blanket. He called the father-in-law who fortunately had not slept.


"Dad, please Radit. Please make warm tea for Echa. His body shivered, Dad. Radit can't possibly leave him."


Radit's voice sounded very frightened. Although his wife's body was wrapped in a blanket, but Echa's body still shivered. Radit continues to hold Echa's body.


"Honey, hang on" Radit said.


A regret that Radit really felt. He's done something stupid.


Before long, Rion entered into the princess room he was completely shocked by what he saw. Rion immediately approached Echa. He told Echa to drink the warm sweet tea he had just made. Radit's hand didn't let go of his embrace.


The body shivering Echa slowly disappeared. However, his pale face was still clearly visible.


"Why could that be?" ask Rion. Radit explained everything, but not with his stupid attitude.


Rion approached towards the princess who still looked pale and was in Radit's arms.


"Don't worry Dad, Deck. I don't want to lose you." The sincere words that came out of Rion Juanda's mouth.


Tests.


His father's words made Echa tear up. He told nothing to his father. She just didn't want her father to hate her husband. As bad as Radit was, Echa never told her father. Rion's warm embrace gave to the princess.


"Never get sick, Deck. It hurts you're making Dad's body hurt too."


Radit looked at his wife's expressionless face. He kissed Echa very deeply.


"Keep asleep, honey. I'll keep you here" he said after giving the wife medicine


Over the night Radit hugged Echa's body tightly. He didn't take off for a second. Regretting all his actions. Radit's phone on the nightstand vibrates. He grabbed it and let out a rough sigh when he saw whose name was calling out to him. Without waiting for long, Radit refused the call. He blocked the number.


Echa didn't know because she wasn't sleeping. As the morning approaches, she is struck by Radit slamming his expensive cell phone.


"I want to start a new life with you, baby." Radit approached the wife who had just woken up. A warm kiss landed on Echa's forehead.


"Good later, take me to the mall, yeah. I want to change the new phone."


Scratches of wounds that Radit gave are still scattered until now. Echa just follows Radit's wishes. Take a walk to the mall with his hands held tightly by Radit.


When in the mobile phone store, Radit allowed Echa to arrange everything. From the phone number Echa chose, the password Echa phone created. All Radit left to his wife.


"Nothing you're still mad at me, can't believe me yet. Indeed I should be scolded and hated for my stupidity, but you should know, from today I have changed. I will always be by your side and will be a protector to you. Love you so much, dear."


Radit kissed the back of Echa's hand deeply. Getting an apology from Echa is hard. Moreover, he had already made an almost fatal mistake. But Radit continued to try to be a good husband. Slowly but surely, little by little Echa forgot everything. God always gives His people a chance. Echa as His people must be like that. Give her husband a chance to change in a better direction.
