The Injured

The Injured
The Most Obscured Prayer


Finally, Addhitama complied with Radit's request. He retracted the report against his eldest son. Making Rindra stare at her papih confused.


"This is all at Radit's request. Radit doesn't want you to go to jail because it would damage the family's reputation and drop the company's name and stock" he said.


"If you want to thank me. Come to your sister you almost killed. He is the angelic hearted man who always sacrifices himself for the family."


"Sincerely apologize. If, you still act stupid again. Papih itself will kill you," he threatened.


Addhitama left Rindra alone. There was a Rival there. Rival approached his brother while patting his shoulder.


"End the grudge wrong address you have. Envy of Radit is wrong. In fact, Radit's jealous of you."


"Conscious Bang. Radit is our brother, he needs to be happy too. Twenty years of living without feeling the touch of Mamih, but he still survives for Papih. She did not want to see Papih crying every night because she had felt like she had failed to educate her children."


"We should have loved Radit more. Replacing the role of Mamih who did not give his affection to our sister," concluded Rival.


Rindra bowed in hearing Rival's words. Everything Rival said was true. He shouldn't have held a grudge against Radit. A child who knows nothing and does not ask to be born into this world.


Rindra got out of her seat and she told the driver to drive her car somewhere.


Echa and Radit were laughing together. Echa's happy face clearly makes Radit relieved.


"Have you forgiven your father?" ask Radit.


"From the beginning I wasn't angry with him. I'm just disappointed. My request is simple. But, as if my request was a request that was hard to realize."


"But, look at your relationship and your Papih. Makes me feel very grateful. At least my father never once played a hand to me. Let alone saying rudely," he said with an arch of a smile.


"Never feel yourself the worst. Out there, there are still many whose lives are worse than yours. Be thankful that you are surrounded by people who love you. Your biological parents are still complete, plus your father also has an incredible affection for you," Radit said.


Echa smiled and nodded slowly. Then, he grabbed Radit's hand and stared at Radit's bead.


"Are you okay?" ask Echa with her eyes.


"I'll be fine if I'm always with you." Radit pulled Echa's hand and hugged her tightly.


"I don't want to hold a grudge against anyone. Their treatment of me should not be reciprocated. Because it would just ruin my clear sense."


"It is better to forgive them, and to give them what they have done to me. I want to live in peace not wanting to fight," he explained.


Echa tightened her embrace. He felt very grateful to have been met with a very kind and airy man like Radit.


His affection was disturbed due to the presence of someone. Someone who is no less screwed than Radit. His face was like a rainbow.


Radit immediately let go of his embrace and told Echa to back off and hug him from behind.


"Would you like to come here?" ask Radit sharply.


Radit's hand held tightly the circle of Echa's hand on his stomach. Rindra slowly approached Radit and Echa's embrace grew tighter indicating she was terrified.


"I ...."


"Do you want Rindra?" screeches of his shrill Papih sounding. Since Rival told Rindra to leave without saying goodbye, Addhitama immediately came to the hospital where Radit was treated.


"I'm sorry, I'm sorry for my mistakes with you all this time" she said.


"If you are not present in this world. Must be Mamih still with me and also Rival and Papih. That's how I thought, first."


The room was silent for a moment after Rindra stopped her speech.


"The more you grow into an adult, I feel like you are my toughest rival. Academically, socially, you are superior to me. That's where I started to get scared. I'm afraid, all Papih's treasures will fall into your hands" he said.


"It's shallow of your mind, Bang," said Radit.


"From the beginning I always said, I didn't ask to be born from Mamih's womb. Mamih's departure made Abang hit. Then, what about me? From birth to the world until I was 20 years old. I never felt the affection of Mamih. Even the photos with Mamih I don't have. I'm jealous, Bang, same as you. Envy," sherew.


"When mother's day, I was told to make words to express the love of the child towards his mother. You know what I wrote?"


"I just write I don't know what it's like to be loved by mom. And I was punished by my teacher."


"From there, when mother's day comes. The anger I felt. I feel God is unfair to me. If, Mama must go. Why should I be born? Why don't I just go? Or why am I and Mamih not going alone? So that you may not be burdened by me" Radit explained in a trembling voice.


Heard the words that were thrown from Radit. Rindra and Addhitama could not hold back their tears. The inner pressure that Radit felt all along. But Radit was silent. He did not reveal how he really felt to his family.


"I'm sorry Brother, Dit," said Rindra.


"Already Bang, it's just a handful of my past filled with sadness. Ever since I had Echa, my life has been more colorful and more lively. That is, the reason why I will never let go of it and will not give it to Brother."


"From Echa, I know a woman's sincere affection for me. The gentle rubbing of her hand was like the gentle swab of Mamih's hand that I could only feel in a dream. And only Echa is able to accept all my flaws. When my own family did not accept me. He openly accepted me and invited me into his loving family."


Echa put her chin on Radit's shoulder with an increasingly tight hug.


"I've forgiven you, Bang. Although, all your mistakes still I remember very clearly. But, from the beginning I didn't want to hold a grudge."


"I hope your apologies are sincere and accompanied by a change in your attitude."


"And please, take responsibility for Fani. The boy needs a father figure. Be the responsible man. Don't be a loser, just want to be good" Radit said.


"And for the Papih treasure issue. I really don't want it. I will find my own treasure. I don't want to be a connoisseur of parents' wealth" he said.


"One more time, please don't appear before me or Echa for some time. Let Echa take away her fear and hatred for you." Rindra nodded.


"I will obey all your requests, Dit. And thank you, have asked Papih to retract his report," said Rindra.


"Badly, Brother is still my brother. Papih biological children, we should make Papih happy instead of making Papih sad," he said.


"Before I leave, may I hug you?" Radit nodded slowly.


When Echa had released her embrace, Rindra immediately embraced Radit's body.


"I'm sorry, Dit."


There was warmth running through Radit's body and heart. As long as she lived, Rindra had never hugged herself. The happiness that Radit now feels. Addhitama too, could not hold his should. The prayer he always prayed. Asking God for Rindra's heart to be tapped to receive Radit. And now that prayer has been answered.


Thanks God.
