The Return of the Beloved
Part 38's. Yudha's Regret

The next day Yudha woke up from her stupor. He saw Itnas at his side.

Yudha tried to get up and sit down, but could not.

"Lad." She grimaced in pain her stomach still felt pain.

"Oh." Yudha was heard complaining of pain, but kept trying to be able to sit down.

Hearing Yudha's voice, Itnas rubbed his eyes. He was surprised because his eyes were glare. It means the day has changed in the morning.

"Ah, I was sleeping here all night" Itnas murmured. He looked at the curtain of Yudha's nursery that had been revealed.

"You awake?" tanya Yudha looked at Itnas like a thinking man. The man still tried to be able to sit even though his movements were stiff.

"Ah, yes. Mas Yudha don't get up. Said the doctor shouldn't move much before the doctor checks again."

"Ah, okay." Yudha lay back down.

"Mas Yudha is okay?"

"It's a little light," said Yudha lying when his body still feels pain. He just didn't want to make Itnas worry.

"You helped me?" ask Yudha again.

"Yes Mas. I found Mas Yudha passed out on the street" Itnas explained.

"Why are you helping me?" tanyanya's confused. "Why don't you just let me die? If I die, your life will be happy. My life can only trouble people." Yudha bowed, feeling that there had been too many sins on Itnas. Even he almost wanted to kill Itnas and his papa. Yudha was also ashamed, the one who wanted to destroy her life now became a savior for her.

"I want Mas Yudha to survive. I do not want Mas Yudha to die unconverted. Pity Mas Yudha's father and mother that Mas Yudha died with many sins."

Hearing the words of Itnas, Yudha felt more and more guilty.

Forgive Hendra's father, mother. Hendra should have done good in this world so that father and mother could get the reward of having raised a reliable son. In fact, Hendra even committed many sins that make the father and mother will certainly be tormented there.

"Oh yes the case of Om Anton with Aunt Dini, papa swore to Itnas he did not know that both were gone. He also said that he did not know the condition of Mas Yudha's parents before he died, including who had poisoned the fish in Mas Yudha pond. Papa said our family friends since long ago, why should stab a friend from behind? Papa and mama and Itnas are very sympathetic to the passing of Mas Yudha's father and mother" Itnas said at length.

Hearing the words of Itnas, Yudha was slapped. He feels like a loser stabbing his parents' best friend in the back.

"I'm sorry Dek Nas" Yudha said regretfully.

"Evil?" cut Yudha to Itnas' speech.

Itnas smiled and nodded. "Yes, stop being mean to yourself and others."

Yudha just nodded.

"After this Itnas asked Mas Yudha to live normally. Stay away from the ex woman out there who can make Mas Yudha infected with venereal disease. Stay away from illegal drugs that can throw Mas Yudha into prison. If you can marry the woman who really loved Mas Yudha and treated the woman gently. Stop being so arrogant as Mas Yudha did Thalita."

Yudha listened to the messages from Itnas. Inwardly justifying what Itnas said was what he should do, but unfortunately it was not the case with Yudha because after this he would spend the rest of his life in prison.

"Why does Mas Yudha even look sad like that?" tanya Itnas saw that Yudha's face was paler than before.

"Thank you for your advice, but it's too late because my life won't be free to move. My whole life will be in prison." Yudha did not blame Itnas for reporting his crimes because they were solely due to his own guilt.

"No, Mas Yudha will not be imprisoned for life, maybe only a few years. I only reported Mas Yudha for Papa's abduction. The matter of drug sales and the persecution and shooting of Thalita we have not reported."

"But the police already knew that, the proof was that he was chasing me all the time from yesterday afternoon. You know Nas I'm like this because I ran from their pursuit. Wanted to run away from the shot but instead was hit by a sharp twig. That twig stabbed into my stomach."

"Hopefully get well soon, Mas Yudha, hopefully before the police find yourself here you have apologized to Thalita and Juno so that they will not add to Mas Yudha's crime report."

"Thalitian? Juno's? Where are they now? I have sinned a lot against him. Let me meet him."

"Thalita is still being treated at this hospital. But for a while, don't see him. Fearing to see Mas Yudha, Thalita was shocked to remember the shooting yesterday. Poor him. After all, Mas had not much to move first afraid of the danger to Mas Yudha's wound. Oh yes, I have to go now. I have to work this morning" Itnas told Yudha and then got up from her seat.

Yudha prevents Itnas from leaving. "Don't leave me Nas!" he asked Itnas while grabbing Itnas' hand and holding it.

"What's up, Mom? Yudha, do you want me to buy you breakfast? No food delivery from the hospital? Don't you like the food here?"

"Not so Nas, I ...."

"Itnas!"

Yudha's words had to be cut off when Vierdo opened the door and called Itnas by name.

Itnas and Yudha looked at each other. "Vierdo?"

Seriate.
