THE STAIN OF THE PAST
Chapter 61. Meet Kania

Nearly twenty-four hours Athalla stood guard next to her Mammary gurney. His two eyes were still faithfully closed, showing no signs of being opened. Perhaps the effect of being too tired, Athalla fell asleep next to her Mommy. Until a small movement woke him up.

Mami Athalla's consciousness gradually began to return. Realizing that, Athalla immediately pressed the button next to the gurney to call the doctor.

The doctor came to the room in a hurry. He conducted an overall test to Mami Athalla to make sure there were no side effects from the surgery. Luckily, Mami Athalla is fine and things are gradually improving. Athalla was very grateful that her mother was fine.

“Mi, I'm sorry because Mami snapped at that time,” Athalla said. Hoping for her mother to forgive her mistakes at that time.

Mami Athalla nodded lightly and smiled at her son. The middle-aged woman gently stroked Athalla's hair.

“It's okay, Son. Sometimes there is a small dispute between parents and children when you start to grow bigger.” Mami Athalla did not stop showing a smile to her son.

Athalla is eager to say that Kania has helped Mami, but she does not because she does not know what kind of response her mother will be. Her mom doesn't like Kania, but Mami will reject the blood and things will get more complicated. Therefore, Athalla chose to keep it a secret at this time. At least until Mami's condition gets better.

The night has come, the time has come for Mami to eat and take medicine. Athalla feeds a bowl of porridge that the hospital has provided for Mami. Athalla took care of her mother. I don't want that woman to lack even the slightest.

“Athalla, when will you forget Kania and start a new life?” mami Athalla asked while she was eating.

There was a bit of disappointment when Mami asked that. Athalla could not forget Kania after all. She seemed to be half of herself. Until at a time like this, when they had to separate made Athalla tortured. The man did not know how Kania was feeling, but he really felt like he was going to lose his mind.

“What do you like about that woman? Out there a lot better than him.” Mami Athalla met again because she saw her son did not respond at all. The middle-aged woman did not realize that Athalla was very reluctant to discuss this.

“She's a good woman, Mi,” Athalla said defending Kania.

“What's better to make you unable to escape like a gini?” Unsure of her son's words, Mami Athalla added. Athalla took a deep breath trying not to raise her voice at Mami.

“Both he was looking for a ticket when he also flew from Singapore to Jakarta just to donate blood to Mami who was dying from lack of blood,” explained Athalla as detailed as possible.

The look on Mami Athalla's face changed after listening to that fact. Didn't expect that the woman he hated all this time did such a great thing for his life. And now inside her body was flowing the woman's blood. Mami Athalla became ashamed of herself after finding out about it.

Now, Mami Athalla knows how good Kania is. He was even willing to travel far just to save the life of the person who always hurt him.

Doesn't that sound like an angel. Mami Athalla became eager to meet the woman and apologized for her mistake. If only, he was still given the chance to do so.

“Where is Kania now?” mami Athalla asked no longer in a condescending tone as usual. Athalla was stunned when her mother asked that. Again, I think of the time when Athalla had to get back apart with the person she loved so much after such a long separation.

“Kania has returned to Singapore,” said Athalla briefly. Regret begins to haunt Mami Athalla after hearing her son say it. Kania didn't even give him a chance to say thank you.

However, what can be done, when adding too much water in rice, it will be a porridge and nothing can change it.

***

Kania was on a plane to Singapore. Throughout the flight, the woman was just sitting looking out the window.

However, his mind was not there at all. Reuniting with Athalla was not as easy as he thought. Kania continues to be imagined with her lover.

Kania knows for sure at this time Athalla must not be okay. The man needs his support. However, Kania could not accompany because she also had to complete all her tasks.

It's so hard just to get rid of feelings for that guy. Parting with the man Kania loves leaves her tormented every time. He missed the man even as he slept.

Athalla always appears in his dreams, destroying all the defenses that Kania makes. The reason for this is that the man is still alive in the world.

Even if not in his world. They are both in the same sky, but on very different sides.

When they separated yesterday, Kania tried desperately to bury deep feelings that had already burned. Kania is hesitant to find someone who will replace Athalla in his life. Even if he might find her, would the man be as good as Athalla in loving her.

That is why Kania immediately accepted Athalla's love back, although she knew to unite with the man there was still a big obstacle. Athalla's mother has not approved of their relationship.

Unknowingly, the plane that Kania was traveling on had landed at the Singapore International airport. Kania returns to the apartment where she keeps all her belongings, before setting up her new residence in the country the next day.

Kania felt very tired after the journey that took so much time and energy. Kania sprawls her body on the bed trying to neutralize her thoughts from Athalla. However, the more he tried Athalla the more he mastered his mind.

Exasperated with herself, Kania chooses to clean herself up first. Before he actually fell asleep. Kania cleans every part of her body using scent soap in hopes that it will make her calmer. Kania spends a lot of time in the bathroom soaking and calming her mind.

After bathing, Kania then changed her clothes to sleepwear, then enjoyed her dinner. Kania traveled nearly twenty-four hours without touching food.

Only food was given to the hospital after he completed the blood donation procedure. His face must have looked pale by now.

When the food she ate was finished, Kania again cleaned her teeth, then lay on the bed in hopes that drowsiness would come to her. Even then, his thoughts turned back to Athalla. Finally, Kania gave up and chose to get stuck in her mind until she was tired and fell asleep.
