The Injured
Unable

"Morning," said Radit to Echa who had just come down the stairs.

There was no response from Echa. He was still silent and his eyes still showed deep disappointment to Radit.

"Eat first, Cha. After that come with Radit," said Genta.

"But, Cake ...."

"No rejection, dear."

Echa's face scowled annoyed at Genta's words. Unlike Radit, a smile expands on his lips.

After finishing breakfast, Radit and Echa go to one of the hospitals. Today the schedule of Echa health checks because Genta is afraid of Echa disease relapse.

Echa walks behind Radit. Radit stopped and waited for Echa, who was still two meters behind him.

"Don't go far. Later on" said Radit while holding Echa's hand.

Echa tries to let go of Radit's hand. Radit's energy is stronger. Echa has to give up.

In the hallway of the hospital many greet Radit. From the nurses, doctors and janitors there. Until Echa steps stopped when he saw the woman who slept with Radit with an enlarged stomach approaching Radit.

Soon Echa threw Radit's hand and ran away from Radit. Radit quickly chased after Echa and hugged her from behind,

"Don't be afraid, honey. He's nobody to me" Radit said.

"Free Radit! Off!"

Echa continued to thrash and scream with tears that had soaked her cheeks. It hurts Radit to hear that. The woman makes Echa re-traumatized. Children who often keep all their own feelings tend to be more often exposed to trauma than those who always vapourize everything they feel.

"I hate you, Radit. Hates."

Echa's body was shed, Radit continued to hug her and gently rubbed Echa's back.

"Look, honey, I love you so much. You're all I love" Radit said in a very, very serious tone.

The weeping cry that became the answer to the statement Radit gave. Echa's heart still hurts. Let alone looking at the face of the woman who had slept with Radit. It was as if what he had seen a year ago was re-engraved in his head.

Radit brings Echa's weakened body to Genta's house. Slowly Radit will treat Echa trauma with patience. Honestly, it is not easy to return Echa as it once was.

"You're sleeping, yeah. Don't mind much. If you want anything, ask for me. I'm in the next room."

Radit's long words were not answered by Echa. Echa doesn't want to love the man that someone else has. Yeah, he's got to forget about Radit. Soon, Radit will have a child. Looking at Fani's increasingly bloated stomach.

Two hours later, Echa was in the room. Radit always monitors it through CCTV cameras connected to his laptop. As long as Echa is here, Radit will stay at Genta's house. And leave all his activities. He will only focus on his beloved, his heart,

"I'm sorry, Bhul," he said.

He saw Echa was laying down her face on the leg he was bending. His body shakes indicating he is crying. And next to him was a picture of Rion.

Just the rough breathing Radit did. Experiencing a new trauma and now Echa needs the presence of a father figure. Because only his father could ease all his pain, however, it seemed like God was unfair. At a time like this, his father didn't seem to have time for him. In the past, his father always asked Echa to be open to him. But now? There's no place for Echa to complain.

Radit knocks on Echa's room door with the tray he carries.

"Eat first, yeah. You'll be sick."

Attention still Radit showed to Echa. Although, Echa did not respond at all. Radit realized, Radit is stupid. She was too easy to be cheated by her own brother.

"Don't cry anymore, my heart hurts to see you like this," Radit added.

Slowly Echa raised her face to look at Radit with tears already falling on her cheeks.

"Why are you still paying attention to me? Didn't you see that woman needed your attention more than I did" said Echa.

"Go Radit! Go!" expel Echa.

"No, I'm not leaving. I'll stay here. I will heal your wounds. I'm not leaving you, Bhul" Radit said.

"I don't want to see your face Radit. The closer you get, the more the pain in my heart grows. I can't stand Radit. I really can't stand it" said Echa.

"Please, stay away from me. I'm used to pain and hurt. I'll be fine. I'm more tormented if you're always in front of me. Let my wounds heal over time" says Echa.

Echa gets out of bed and into the bathroom. Her tears flowed like water coming out of a shower. His heart ached saying all that. Radit's presence made his heart calm. But sometimes it makes her heart hurt. Radit's shadow with other women is very clear in Echa's mind.

In Echa's room, Radit sits languidly on the floor. It hurts to hear the words from Echa earlier. He cannot be far from Echa. Especially the Echa situation that requires assistance.

Genta who had just come to Radit and brought him to Genta's office.

"Patience, Grandpa is sure Echa still loves you. However, the fear in his heart was still there. Slow down to convince Echa. If you force him to get hurt."

Radit nodded in understanding. After all, he was also still able to monitor Echa from Genta's house. Provided he doesn't show himself in front of Echa.

Three days ago Radit was just monitoring Echa from her room. Echa's condition seems to be getting better. Once there is a special doctor who checks the condition of the heart. However, his psychic condition was still shaken. Every day, Radit always gets news of Echa's condition from the psychiatrist who handles Echa.

During these three days, Echa's eyes were always looking for the figure she actually missed. However, his pain was more dominating than his longing.

"Who are you looking for?" ask Genta.

"Oh, no-no," elak Echa.

"You're the one who wants Radit gone. So, get used to it without Radit. Focus on your recovery" said Genta.

Echa was silent to Genta's words. His appetite is gone.

Genta gave a faint smile when he saw the changed look on Echa's face. His granddaughter still loves Radit. However, Echa still considers if Radit is married. Genta doesn't have enough evidence to show Echa. Because Echa is not an easy person to believe in.

At night, Echa's stomach was hungry. He went downstairs and headed for the kitchen. Echa sighed harshly when she did not see any instant noodles there.

"Hungry," he murmured.

There were only eggs there, while the servants were already asleep. He won't interrupt the waiters' rest. Opened YouTube and looking for a tutorial on making fried rice. Than hunger, that's what he thought.

All the ingredients are available, Echa starts slicing the onions.

"Aw," ringed.

Blood on his index finger. Yeah, Echa's hand is sliced. This is the first activity Echa has done in her lifetime. Because the Mamah will not allow Echa to enter the kitchen and use kitchen furniture.

"That's why I can't cook, don't cook," said someone who now sucks blood on Echa's index finger so that the blood doesn't keep coming out.
