This was the 14th day that Ghea had yet to open her eyes. Talk and joke with him. It is very difficult for Mr. Gery to live his life without a smile that is used to accompany his days. It has been 14 days also the room dominated by white and the smell of medicine became his residence. Sleeping there, next to Ghea while burrowing her face into the niche of the girl's neck just to hide her tears. So that no one knows that Mr. Gery is currently completely destroyed.
No one wanted to know that his body was as if dead seeing Ghea unconscious. Even with Mom and Dad. It was as if they also could not tell by her fragile self.
Tonight the man was sitting on the side of his bed. Staring at the reflection of Ghea's image into wallpaper on his phone. “I miss, Ghe. Why don't you want to wake up too, anyway?” Throw the guy's tears in front of the picture of Ghea he was looking at on the mobile screen. Also in front of his body lying on a hospital bed. The same bed when the girl was just removed from the operating room. Also the foreign equipment that was still attached to his body. It was as if Ghea's life would end if the hoses were to come off her body.
Mr. Gery wrapped his face with tears that flooded his cheeks right next to Ghea's hand attached to an infusion hose. Strong squeezing of white bed linen attached to the bed. “You can't punish me like this, Ghe. I'm not strong.” The stronger the squeeze until the bed is tangled. Mr. Gery sobbing. Shoulders rocking. Vibrates. For whatever sake Mr. Gery can't pretend to be strong anymore.
“Build, darling! Wake up!" his stuffing still hid his face.
However, it is useless for Mr. Gery to ask that the girl open her eyes and then pull her lips to give her beautiful smile. He did not fulfill his request either.

In the morning, Mr. Gery woke up to hear a faint sound in the room. It's shuffling. Sitting while rubbing both eyes before massaging the base of his nose that feels throbbing. Mr. Gery rested his back on the back of the sofa while taking a deep breath. Tonight the guy fell asleep on the long sofa in the corner of the room.
“Good morning, Mr handsome?” a woman wearing a white uniform. She was a nurse who helped doctors to treat and keep Ghea during this 14-day coma.
Mr. Gery saw that the nurse was checking on Ghea's progress. Might as well. Because Mr. Gery saw the nurse carrying a notebook and pen in her hand and would take notes after the nurse checked something attached to Ghea's body. “Again, sus.” Mr. Gery then straightened his back. Moving his head to the right and left as if stretching his muscles.
When the nurse was about to pick up a small towel and a large bowl filled with warm water, Gery replied quickly. “Let me just, sus,” she said while standing then walking towards her nurse.
“Alright, Mr. handsome. Cie-cie is very considerate, anyway, same wife.” The nun's joke revealed her laugh. “If you'll excuse me, then. Call me, yes, if you need anything. I am in front, yes, Mr. handsome,” he said flirtatious then out of the room Ghea.
Like a husband who really has to take care of his wife who is sick, Mr. Gery came back to Ghea while carrying a bowl of warm water in his hands and a small towel dipping there. “I lapin you first, yes, dear, dear,” said Mr. Gery kept the bowl on the nightstand then unbuttoned the clothes attached to Ghea's body and released it very carefully and slowly. Do not let the tool that helps Ghea was disturbed by Mr. Gery who will wipe his body.
Very painfully Mr. Gery wiped Ghea's body with a wet towel. From starting his stomach slowly. Then move on to his chest. While wiping the part, Mr. Gery chattered softly. “You're getting smaller, Ghe. Your body is also thin. Wake up, yeah! Later I promise will masakin you continue to let your body fill again. Fatigue if need.” Mr. Gery chuckled while wiping Ghea's hands gently. “This is your hand as well as the muscle of the cross, Ghe.” Then dip the towel again in the warm water in the bowl.
After wiping Ghea's body, Mr. Gery changed Ghea's clothes with a new one. She put it on very carefully again. Then the guy rubbed Ghea's cheek. “You are beautiful. Now I take a shower first, yes.” he said to Ghea as if the girl would nod her head in response.
Before Mr. Gery goes to the bathroom, the guy kisses him. From the forehead, cheeks, nose and then the lips of Ghea. When Mr. Gery kissed him on that part, his lips trembled right above his lips. As much as possible the boy held tightness in the chest cavity. “I kangen.” Maybe those two words were already very tired of being heard. But not with him. Even if he had to say it a thousand times, the guy would never get bored to reveal his heart.
Then with a slow movement, Mr. Gery kept his lips away from his lips. “Cepet wake up, yes!” he said right in front of the face that was only two inches away. Then back to the forehead.

“Ger, you really don't papa?” mama Dian asked, rubbing the back of the hand of the man who is now sitting in front of her. “If you are not strong, you can be your Mama's backrest. I'm ready to hear your crying, Ger," Mama said half-jokingly.
Really, where there is a feeling of a mother who will be fine to see her favorite son in a state like Mr. Gery at this time. Mama Dian is the same as Mr. Gery. Crushed. Even more than that. Seeing her son pretending to be good makes Mama Dian's breath as tight.
Mr. Gery replied to a swipe from the soft hand of the Mama. “I'm not papa, Ma. Don't be sad, dong! I won't cry either. What is my baby?” Then Mr. Gery chuckles. Trying to melt the sad atmosphere that was surrounding him.
Mama Dian rubbed Mr. Gery's cheek with a pity. “You can't lie to Mama, Ger! Mama knows you're hurt. Sad and desperate to see Ghea. But Mama doesn't want to see you sick either, Ger. Mama wants you to kayak first! Not fragile and always strong.” Mama Dian smiled. “Do not torture yourself like this! Mama does not want you to expect too much more on one reality that will make you hurt later.”
Mr. Gery lowered Mama Dian's hand from her cheek before the man clasped both hands. “Mama, how do you say that? Ghea will be fine, Ma. I'm sure that's it. Ghea will definitely come to her senses and come back with me. Mama doain Ghea, yes!”
“Definitely, Ger. Mama always prayed for Ghea because Ghea was Mama's daughter. Without you asking for anything, you and Ghea are always in your prayers. But Mama just wants you not to expect too much! I don't want you to get sick or get hurt! Hem.”
“Iya, Ma.” while saying that, Mr. Gery reached into the cellphone in his pants pocket. He got a call from Chacha. “But, yes, Ma.”
Mama Dian nodded, Mr. Gery slightly moved away to receive the call. Then back again to Mama Dian when the guy had closed his cellular connection with his face that was pale and worried obvious there.
“Why, Ger?” mama Dian asked who felt her son's panic.
“Ghea, Mom. We have to go back to Ghea's room now!” Because the position of Mr. Gery and Mama Dian is now in the hospital canteen.
“Ghea why, Ger?” mama Dian asked as she followed Gery's fast walking footsteps. You could even say that guy ran.
But it can't. Is that true? How could Gery not hope so? That hope has always been a strength for Mr. Gery. Ghea's hope of regaining consciousness was what she always said in every prayer at night. God cannot destroy that hope. Nah! Mr. Gery won't let his hopes be dashed.
The more accelerated Mr. Gery's steps towards Ghea's room. It turns out that when Mr. Gery arrived, there were already Chacha, Adi, Ilham and both Ghea's parents. At first they wanted to see Ghea. But when they arrived, they found the nurse who was guarding Ghea was panicking before the doctor came. Then Chacha was told by Adi to contact Gery. Telling the guy about Ghea's sudden state of seizures.
No need for permission from anyone, Mr. Gery broke through the closed door and entered. But at that time, his eyes saw one of the sisters was unplugging the tools that were still well attached to his body. Before Mr. Gery went to accompany his mother for breakfast and asked the sisters to take care of Ghea for a while. Ghea is still in good shape. But now?
“You guys what the fuck? Why are all those tools removed? Install again! Fast!” hardik Pak Gery while pointing his index finger at the nurse. “Install again the tools are damn!” Then Mr. Gery approached. It's an emotion of course. Where might Mr. Gery let them just unplug the tools while Ghea needed them so much.
The nurse looked confused. He looked at the doctor who had helped Ghea. Trying to restore the state of Ghea as much as possible before the heartbeat device is installed that sounds loud.
The doctor kept nodding. Cueing the nurse to keep pulling out all her tools.
“You're all budeg or what, anyway? Cepet install the tools again!”
Hearing the commotion that was happening inside there, all of them could no longer hold back their curiosity. What was? That's what's inside their minds that's outside. Especially with Ghea's parents.
It was as if the doctor had gotten used to the situation. The doctor seemed to not care about the voice of Mr. Gery who continued to curse while raging. Adi and Ilham who held him was not as strong as the tantrums of Mr. Gery.
While Mama Sonya and Papa Jordan can only resigned to see one by one the tools attached to Ghea's body removed. Mama Sonya could only cry in her husband's arms.
“Di, tell them Ghea will be back. Only he just needs a little help from those tools!” Mr. Gery is in revolt. But Adi and Ilham still block both hands and shoulders of the man. “Say, motherfucker! Install again quickly the tool!”
“Ghea, you wake up dong! Proof it to them if you can get up!” Mr. Gery was not allowed to approach Ghea's bed at all.
“Ghea you don't get rich gini dong! Joking you is not funny! You promised to keep me going! Awake, darling! Wake up!”
“Ger, you can't gini. You still want what Mama said? You also promised Mama would be fine, Ger.” Mama Sonya is approaching. Trying to calm his son. Papa Dika is on his way. Shortly after Mama called her, Papa Dika rushed to the hospital. Leave all his work at the office.
“How can I be fine, Ma. They took all the tools out. Ghea will be fine if they put the device back on, Ma. Ghea will wake up again, Ghea has promised me I will continue to keep me, Ma.” Mr. Gery still hasn't accepted it. Or won't even accept it. “Ghe, wake up dong, baby! You can't break your promise, can you, Ghe?”
As if his strength had run out, Gery continued to stare at Ghea's pale face. Letting himself still be held tightly by Adi and Ilham.
“Please record the time of his death, sus!” said doctor.
For everyone, they may not be willing. Half his soul has been taken. However, we can what with destiny that God has underlined. If soul and death only God can determine. And this is the end of his story.
Then the memory of Mr. Gery again revolved around the incident where Ghea first hit himself in the cinema and then when deliberately Mr. Gery followed the girl after returning from the supermarket until Ghea who thought Mr. Gery deliberately came to school when the guy was a substitute for a new teacher in his class.
He forced Ghea to marry him that very day. Then Ghea brought her love until she closed her eyes forever.
