In the hospital hallways covered in silence, in the blink of an eye turned rowdy with the clattering of footsteps of Asyifa and also Zidan who was in a hurry to go to the room of Eden.
Both of them seemed to still not believe what the nurse said on the phone, and in order to prove it directly, Ashifa willingly left the application event that is still ongoing.
"Doctor" called Ashifa, to the man in white who had just come out of Eden's nursery.
"Mother Asyifa, Mr. Zidan, it turns out you have come. I'm sorry I had to call you all of a sudden, but this is a very rare occurrence. That's why I have to speak directly to Asyifa's mother and Zidan's sir"
"It's okay doc. But is it true that now the patient has regained consciousness, because to be honest, I and Asyifa are still unable to believe"
"True Mr. Zidan, the patient is now fully aware even though his condition is also still very weak. If you want, Mr. Zidan and Asyifa's mother can visit him directly"
"Thank you very much, doc"
"Just like Ashifa's mother. But before that, can I ask for Ashifa's mother's autograph for the purposes of some tests to be performed on the patient?"
"How about just use my autograph, doc? Besides, me or the signed Asyifa will make no difference, because now we are both officially engaged" Zidan suggested quickly.
"really? Well, then I congratulate Mr. Zidan and also Asyifa's mother on this happy news"
"Thank you doc"
"Together Mr. Zidan. Oh right, how about we head straight to my room now so Mr. Zidan can sign the approval documents?"
"Good doc. Asyifa, you please meet Eden first, I will catch up with you after you finish the doctor's room"
After being left behind by Zidan and the doctor, Ashifa instead stood in front of the door of Eden's room like a dazed man who did not know what to do.
Actually, Asyifa's heart was not ready to meet and also speak directly to Eden, let alone to discuss about the tragic events carried out by the man's mother.
Moments struggling with his thoughts, Asyifa also strengthened to open the door wide. And there appeared a figure of Eden who was eating with the help of a nurse.
"Mother Asyifa, you've come?" greet the nurse is friendly, when she sees Ashifa.
"Yes, I'm sorry if I came a little slow, because when you called, I was in the middle of an event"
"It's okay mom. But did Asyifa's mother come alone, Zidannya sir where is ma'am?"
"Zidan is working on some files with the doctor, in the doctor's office. I was told to go in first, to see the state of Eden"
"Ah, so it seems. Does Ashifa's mother want me to stay alone with Eden sir? I'll come back later when you're done talking. Besides, it's about time I had to check on the other patients"
"Yes, no problem sus"
"Can Ashifa's mother continue?" the sister asked, handing over Eden's bowl of porridge to Ashifa.
"Of course you can"
"Thank you ma'am, I'll excuse you"
"Yes, please sus"
Along with the sound of the door closing, Ashifa walked towards the bedside of Eden, and sat on the chair there awkwardly.
"Hi Asyifa. It's been a long time since I've seen your face. Is it just a feeling, or am I sleeping all the time?" ask Eden, in a joking tone.
"Basic stupid! Do you think it's funny, do you think I'd be happy to see you in such a state?"
"Jeez Asyifa, I was just joking around, you don't have to be that angry. Besides, I'm fine now, right? Just look at it for yourself, I've been smooth talking and can also joke like before"
"I don't understand, Eden"
"What don't you understand, Fa?"
"What I don't understand is, why should you deny your mother's wishes and endanger yourself? Are you tired of living?!"
"Emm, you could say so"
"DAN! I'm not kidding, I'm seriously asking right now!"
"I am also serious Asyifa, even very serious. Do you think I'll still want to live when I'm told to help with his constant killing? I, who used to have my own life purpose, slowly began to lose that purpose in order to satisfy his murderous lust. Every time I wanted to escape, he always threatened me with the word that he would kill all the children of the home at once. Of course I don't want that until it happens, in the end have to go back to his orders"
"But by obeying his orders, it's the same as letting him kill all the children of the orphanage even though slowly! And why are you only now fighting him?" asyifa replied, dissatisfied with Eden's answer.
"Are you able to see the red color that fills the surface of my skin? The red color was caused by the blood flowing inside my body, and the blood was coming from Asyifa. As bad as she is, she is still my birth mother, and that is what blinds my eyes, and continues to hope that she will change someday. But truth? He's getting more and more uncontrollable, even wanting to kill yourself"
"Is it true that your mother wanted to kill me so you denied her orders, and ended up like this?"
"You could say so"
"But why? Compared to all the orphanage children who have lived with you for a long time, I am just a stranger from the city. Why did you do all that to protect me?"
"Okay, maybe because you're the only person I can count on to take care of those poor kids, when I'm gone"
"How can you be so sure that I will be willing to take care of them? What if I abandon them, or do something evil to them?"
"I don't think that's possible. Because you have a strong determination to protect them and are reluctant to leave the village, even though you have realized there is a danger that is happening there"
"Ka_you heard? How can you hear it, while our distance was very far?" Asyifa looked surprised.
"I didn't hear it, but my mom. That's why you were the target after Elisha, and that determination grew even greater as you offered to report the incident to the authorities"
"But it was not that your mother went back into the house with Elisha, for Elisha made a fuss by constantly pointing at you"
"Do you know why Elisha was killed in his locked room? That's because my mother made a secret door in every room in the parlour. When you're busy talking to Nana and Rora, not far behind you my mom's listening to everything"
Goosebumps, all the feathers of Asyifa stood upright when he heard the story of Eden. Asyifa did not believe that for many years, the children of the orphanage had been living in a state of threatened life at all times.
Just imagine it, Asyifa felt unable to. But there is at least one thing Ashifa can be grateful for, that the man who is now beside her, does not go down the psychopathic nature of the mother.
"Well, let's forget now everything that's happened. Because it's all over, and your mother's in jail right now"
Asyifa, who had gotten such a question from Eden, immediately did not know what to say. Although what the man said was true, Asyifa felt evil if she had to say it directly.
To avoid this question, Asyifa chose to concern herself with deliberately fixing each strand of her hair.
Until suddenly, a voice from the direction of the door was the one who answered the question in place of Ashifa.
"Yes right. Once your health is fully restored, you will follow in your mother's footsteps to get into prison" Zidan replied, coldly.
"Zidan! Why did you say such a thing to Eden, who just woke up from her coma?! I told you we'd talk about it, in a few days"
"I know Asyifa. But now he's the one who started, asking about it. I'm just trying to give him an answer to that question. What did I do wrong?"
"Of course you're wrong! What if after hearing your answer, Eden's condition soon turned bad again? He's a patient who just woke up from Zidan's coma, not an ordinary fainting patient!"
"Asyifa, I'm fine. So you don't have to be angry at the man" Eden said, not feeling good to see Ashifa angry at Zidan because of her.
"Even if you're okay after hearing Zidan's answer, it won't change the fact that he did something wrong, Eden. It might even be that a child of Rora and Nana's age, also knew of such a simple procedure!"
Zidan who felt that what Asyifa said was true, would not want to join in feeling guilty to Eden. Because it was all he did on purpose, to make Eden's condition deteriorate.
Because, when looking at the look of Eden's gaze on Asyifa, Zidan felt like looking at the eyes of a man who has a romantic feeling in the opposite sex.
And it makes a sense of hostility in Zidan, seketija also react and want to immediately remove the figure of Eden from the woman's side.
"All right, I admit I was wrong. I'm sorry for what I said, do you want to forgive me?"
"I apologize to Eden, not to me. Because what you hurt is Eden, not me"
"I know, I'll apologize to her after you're willing to forgive me as well" Zidan said, deliberately putting on a face of compassion.
"I forgive you"
"thank you. I also want to apologize to you Eden, because at our first meeting, I said something that might even make your heart shake"
"No problem, I'm fine. Looks like Asyifa already introduced my name to you, when I was unconscious"
"You could say so. Oh yes, introduce me Zidan, his fiancee Asyifa" Zidan unhesitatingly extended his hand towards Eden to get officially acquainted.
Eden who was surprised to hear the status Zidan held in the life of Asyifa, could only return the man's hand with his mouth locked tightly.
Because Asyifa never told Eden that she was engaged, so the face of Eden was surprised, especially she had a pent-up feeling to the woman.
"You_your fiancee Asyifa? But, why did Asyifa never tell him about her having a fiancee? Even he told me about himself who was married once"
"I am indeed Asyifa's fiancee, and that only happened a few hours ago. That's why Asyifa didn't tell me she was engaged"
"It turns out I was another man first. Basic cheating, how could he propose to Asyifa when there is an acquaintance of Asyifa who is in a coma?! Hufhhh!" inner Eden, feeling a little upset and also sad.
"Why are you suddenly silent? Is there something wrong with my words, or is there any part of your body that hurts? Can I get a doctor?" ask Zidan pretending to look good.
"Ah, no need. I'm fine, just thinking about something. Oh yeah, I should have congratulated you two, right? Congratulations, on the engagement"
"Hahaha, thank you. Come Ashifa, thank Eden who has been kind enough to congratulate us both" pinta Zidan, while putting both hands on the shoulders of the friendly Asyifa.
"Thank you Eden"
"Just like Ashifa"
Seeing Zidan's movements, Eden could immediately suspect that the man in front of him, was waving a flag of hostility and warning to him, to stay away from Asyifa.
Feeling that something was different from the aura around him, Ashifa inevitably had to mutate the brain to look for other chat materials. Because the two men who were now with him, exchanged glances without saying a word.
"Jeez Zidan, I forgot to ask you about the test procedure that the doctor will do tomorrow to Eden. Have you taken good care of everything?"
"Dear, I take care of everything so well, so you don't have to worry. Tomorrow morning, Eden can immediately do all the tests"
"Sa_dear? Did you just call me baby?" ask Asyifa, wrong.
"Yes, I did call you darling. What's wrong, is it wrong? We're officially engaged, so it's okay if I call you by a call, baby, or do you mind?"
"Ti_not really. But now that there's Eden coming to hear it, don't you feel ashamed?"
"Geez, do you want me to call out to you just when we're alone? Anyway, Eden must have understood that I was like that. We're a new couple, aren't we Eden?"
"Hahaha, yes it is" replied Eden with a face that looked very depressed.
"Look, what I said! So you don't have to be embarrassed like that, because compared to just a call, there are still other romantic things that I want to do with you" Zidan teased, he blinked one eye at Ashifa.
At that instant, Ashifa's face turned as red as a tomato and her body movements became misbehaved. His hands began to move unsettled, making Zidan gasp with satisfaction.
While Eden refrained from showing a look of disgust on his face when he heard Zidan's temptation.
Fortunately the door of the room suddenly opened and a nurse who handled Eden appeared there while carrying the medicine tray into the room.
"Sorry to interrupt, it's time for Mr. Eden to take his medicine"
"Yes, please sus. We both have to go home now so Eden can rest. Especially tomorrow there are some tests that must be undertaken by him"
"Right, Mr. Zidan"
"Eden, Zidan and I go home now? Tomorrow we will come again to accompany you to the test, so don't forget to rest well"
"Yes, thank you for coming to see me Asyifa. I'm also grateful to you, Zidan"
"Yes together"
The new couple walked out of Eden's inpatient room, and walked towards Zidan's car, to leave the hospital.
Seriate...
