The Ugly Wife's
Kemal Travel

Angel and Mira sat silent and preoccupied with their thoughts. At times the gazes of the two turned towards the door of Asyifa's room, which was tightly shut.

For three days Asyifa shut herself up and never once came out of her room, from the day she read Kemal's letter, and asked for time to prepare herself.

Asyifa did not want to go back to the hospital to keep her promise to Kemal. The woman thought that if she did not come, her father would still be alive.

Ting.. Vat..

Suddenly the bell rang, making Angel immediately get up from his seat and walk towards the door.

"Ah, you've come"

"How is Asyifa? Did he come out of his room today?" ask Zidan, who turned out to ring the bell.

Hearing the man's question, Angel could only shake her head accompanied by a sad expression. Making Zidan sigh in anger.

"Can't we do something to get him out of there? It's been three days, but never once did she come out even to fill her empty stomach" asked Mira to join Angel and Zidan's conversation.

"I don't think there will be any reason for Asyifa to come out, except for the news that her father has improved"

"But still he had to go out Ngel, well at a minimum to eat and drink. If it continues to be left, Asyifa may also have to be admitted to the hospital with her father!"

"What Mira said there's a point too. Then let me try to talk to him"

Zidan then walked towards Ashifa's room, but before tapping on it, the man first pressed his ear to hear what Ashifa was doing inside.

"Did you hear?" tanya Mira looks curious.

"No sound whatsoever. Are you two sure he's inside?"

"of course. Me and Angel were in the living room, and didn't leave there for a second"

"From the time you keep arguing, it's better to just knock on the door"

"Well, I'll knock"

Geck... Geck... Geck..

"Asyifa, it's Zidan. What are you doing inside? Can I come in?"

There's no answer. Only a long silence could Zidan, as if there was no one in the room.

But because it was impatient, Zidan also dared himself to turn the doorknob of the room Asyifa, which turned out to be unlocked.

Angel and Mira, who are also curious about the state of Asyifa, follow behind Zidan. All three can breathe a sigh of relief when they see the figure of Asyifa sleeping soundly on the bed.

"Luckily, it was just sleeping. Make my mind go everywhere"

"What do you think in your brain, Ra? Do you think Ashifa will do something reckless?"

"It could be. After all, this time Asyifa was much worse than the last time she locked herself in a room. At that time he still allowed us to go into his room, and share about what he felt. But this time, even returning our call alone he didn't do it. That scares me a little"

"Fearful? What are you afraid of?"

"Eitherway. I fear that everything that happened to Kemal will only make the pile of wounds that have not healed in the heart of Asyifa, become worse. I'm afraid that in the future, Asyifa can't be Asyifa as we all know it" Mira explained, beginning to sob.

Angel who can understand and also participate imagine all the fear that Mira explained just now, can only give a hug to her best friend.

"Just calm down, I'm sure none of that will happen. You and I are witnesses, that Asyifa is able to face and also overcome all the problems and suffering that come in her life"

"Hopefully"

"In that case, we'd better get out now. Just let Zidan wait for Asyifa to wake up, and talk to her"

Angel and Mira then walk out leaving Zidan along with the figure of Asyifa who still remains asleep. After the door closed, Zidan pulled out Ashifa's work chair, and sat down next to the bed.

Slowly, Zidan smoothed out a few strands of straight Asyifa rambuy that fell on the woman's face.

"I think it's time you opened your eyes, and stopped pretending to sleep again. Because I already know that you're not sleeping right"

"It's also great that you weren't fooled by the acting I showed you. I thought that if you saw me sleeping, then you would just come out" Asyifa replied in a cold tone, opening her eyes.

"Have you forgotten to wash your doors today? Because Angel and Mira said, you locked the door to your room the whole time you've been in it"

"To be more precise I did deliberately leave it unlocked"

"Why?"

"Eitherway. It might be possible to make it easier for me to get out of here, if the intentions I had gathered had already reached the target"

"Wish? What intentions are you talking about? Is that to meet your father?" guess Zidan's on target.

"It seems that in your previous life, you had the ability to know what someone was thinking. Because you can always read what I think"

"You don't have to joke like that, to try to show that you're okay, Asyifa"

"Can you just once, not use that power on me? Because I hate when what I do and think can be read all by you" pinta Asyifa was not happy.

"alright. But if you're willing to go to the hospital with me, to see your father"

"Did my father realize? Don't tell me he's not conscious yet"

Zidan, who saw a wish from Asyifa's gaze and question, felt evil if he had to tell the truth. But Zida also doesn't want to lie to the woman she loves.

With a heavy heart, while lowering his head as if he had done something wrong, Zidan shook his head weakly.

Seeing him, Ashifa tried not to display a disappointed look. The woman could only clench her hands until her long nails were stuck there.

"Then, now I want to ask you one more thing. But you have to promise to answer honestly"

"All right, I promise. What do you want to ask?"

"At that time, I promised my father to give me time to prepare myself, so that I could let him go to see my real mother. If I come back to see him now, but my heart is not ready, will he live?"

"A_what, what's the reason you didn't come to the hospital for three days, thinking that you could keep Kemal alive?"

"You could say so. Now it's your turn to answer my question"

"I don't know Asyifa, because I'm not a god and the only one who can know when your father died is God. But there's one thing I do know, that your father is in a lot of pain"

"Sickness? Whatchu mean?"

"At first the doctor did expect that Kemal would live a few months more. But because your father did not wake up, making his condition worse. Then this morning, the doctor advised to remove all life aids in the body of om Kemal, because there was nothing more that could be done to save him"

But a second later, the laughter subsided and simply disappeared, replaced by a heart-wrenching cry. Asyifa's soul seemed to be shaken and unable to accept everything.

Zidan who could not bear to see Asyifa like that, immediately grabbed the body of the woman into his arms. Allowing him to spill all the feelings he had harbored.

After a moment of crying in Zidan's arms, Asyifa was finally able to regain control of herself, and stopped crying.

He looked at Zidan's face expectantly, as if he was asking for support from the man in order to change his decision to stay in this room.

"I know you're feeling very sad and also desperate right now. But everything will not change Asyifa, and inevitably, you must be able to face that reality. Or do you prefer to let your father, the longer he is in the pain that continues to torment him to this day?"

"I don't want you to feel all that Zidan. But I also don't want to let my father leave me, I want him alive. What like that can't happen?"

"Asyifa, I also want Kemal to continue living just like you. But the fate line that God has written for Kemal is different from what we both want. Therefore, we must allow what God's plan is to happen, as well as what your father has done"

"I don't want to feel the loss of Zidan anymore, I'm tired of everything. I also want to be happy, I don't want to be alone in this world without family!"

"You are not alone Asyifa, there is me and your two best friends, there is Raka and Adam, there is also a mother who is always ready to be part of your family. You give enough of your hand to grab, and we'll definitely do it"

"Can you give me time to prepare yourself? I promise this time it won't be long"

"alright. I'll be waiting outside with Mira and Angel"

"Thank you, Zidan"

Zidan then got up from his seat and walked out of the room, to leave Ashifa alone there, and wrestled with his mind.

*****

"Why hasn't he come out yet? Are you sure that he wants to go to this heartache hospital, with us?" tanya Mira started to feel worried.

"Of course I'm sure. So I beg you to give him as much time as he wants, because all this is not easy for him"

"I understand, but it's been almost an hour we've been waiting for Zidan. The doctor must also be waiting for us to arrive at the hospital right now"

"Be quiet Mira, she's out" whispered Angel quickly, as she saw the door to Asyifa's room slowly opening.

"Ashifa, are you ready?" mira asked, rushing to her best friend.

"Yes, I'm ready now. I'm sorry I had to keep you all waiting so long, and thank you for convincing me to go, Zidan"

"Either. Come"

The four rushed to the hospital in Zidan's car. The journey there felt so fast for Ashifa, because without realizing it, she was now beside her father's bed.

I don't know how many times the woman took a deep breath and exhaled again, as if it was hard to breathe normally. Only her tears, which began to flow down without being prevented.

Just now Asyifa's mouth was about to open to say something, as her eyes involuntarily caught the movement of the father's hand.

"Ta_my father's hand, ta_his hand"

"What's up, Asyifa? What happened to your father's hand, is something wrong?" angel asked worriedly, seeing that Ashifa could not continue her words.

"My father's hand just moved, Ngel! I saw it for myself, if his hand moved once!" exclaim Asyifa pleased.

Angel, in disbelief, tried to notice the unconscious man's hand more closely.

But he could not see the movement as Ashifa saw it. At first Angel thought it was just an Asyifa hallucination, until a scream shocked her.

"Yes god! Om kemal aware! Di_he opened his eyes!" shouted Mira hysterically.

Zidan, who also saw it, stared in disbelief at the miracle that was happening in front of his eyes.

Zidan quickly ran out of the room to see the doctor. Zidan wanted to tell me what had just happened, and wanted to have the doctor check on Kemal again.

"A_Asyifa, father's daughter" called Kemal in a faint, barely audible voice.

"Yes dad, this is Asyifa. Asyifa was waiting for my father to come to his senses and spoke to Asyifa. Dad's okay, right? Are there any parts of my father's body that are sick now, try telling Asyifa"

"I'm sorry you made you wait so long, son. I thought, I won't be able to say goodbye one last time with you, but luckily I can"

"Pamitan? A_what do you mean dad? Where are you going? I can't leave, I have to stay with Asyifa here"

"Asyifa, I know it's hard for you, son. You've already felt the loss of a child, of course losing a father will make your wounds open again"

"No, Asyifa doesn't want to hear anything you say, so shut up"

"Ashypha"

"Asyifa said shut up dad!" asyifa shouted while rising from her seat.

Angrily, Asyifa started throwing all the items in front of her onto the floor just like that. Even the glassware and his own cell phone, slammed it.

Although a piece of glass hit his leg, Asyifa did not want to stop. Kemal could only stay still, and let Ashifa do the action until it was finished.

Mira and Angel also did not dare to do anything, both were afraid that it would aggravate the woman's emotions. After the cape, Asyifa's body fell down and her cries began to break there.

"My father's time is soon Ashifa. I beg you to listen to what I want to say one last time" Kemal said, beginning to shed tears.

"Can't you just stay alive and stay by my side?"

"Pardon Asyifa's father, for I cannot grant your request"

"It should have been from the beginning I avoided getting on that plane, but why did you keep boarding it even though you knew there would be a disaster?! If it were all you do, you wouldn't be like this!"

"Father just doesn't want to change what God has outlined for father, Asyifa. Even if it was death, I would still accept it with iklas"

"What if the one who gets the disaster in the dream is not Dad? But me, would you still let me get on that plane?"

"You're the only treasure that Asyifa has, I even traded my life to make you happy. You must know what I would do, if what appears in the dream is you"

"I'm just like Dad! If I knew you would face a disaster and end up like this, I would also want to exchange my life so you can survive! Dad's my only family right now, if you leave, I'll just stay alone"

"I'm sorry Asyifa's father, I'm sorry. Please also apologize to your mother, I really love you both very much. Live well and be happy, even in the absence of father. Once again I'm sorry, my daughter"

Tiiiiiiittt.......

The long sound on the monitor next to Kemal's bed, a sign that the man has gone forever from this world.

Seriate...
