Winda smilingly sat by the hospital bed looking at his mother. Trying to cover up his sadness.
Winda's hand was busy peeling apples for his mother. Sometimes the babble of Renaldi, Sigit and Anita from behind the walls of his mother's nursery. They talked in the front room.
Anita's. Yes, this woman was often seen in the hospital when Brian was admitted to the hospital until the lecture was completed at his home last night, and now Anita is here even waiting for her mother with Aldi.
Winda was astonished to see Renaldi could be familiar with Anita at this time. Setau Winda, Anita is a woman who has worked with her husband before under the auspices of the company Duta Perkasa. But why would that woman be here waiting for her mother in the hospital? what is their relationship? inner Winda.
Winda fed his mother with pain.
"Your father is coming here soon too, son." Bu Arini said on the sidelines of his apple chewing activities.
"Of course you're tired, ma'am?" Winda answered with a smile to his mother.
"Semalem Aldi with Lili who accompanied my mother here, your father was told Aldi to rest first in his apartment, Win." continued Bu Arini.
Winda frowned as he glanced at his eyes upon hearing Lili's name.
"Lili Ma'am? who her? looks like Winda is no stranger to that name?" Winda put a plate containing pieces of apples on the nightstand because the mother had rejected the apple cut from him.
"Assalamualaikum, good afternoon Al, Lili. You're here, it's Git?" Not yet had time to get an answer from his mother, Winda heard the voice of Mr. Idris was greeting the three people who were in the waiting room.
"Wa'alaikumsalam sir." A third voice answered from behind the wall.
Winda was more confused to hear Idris name Lili, the same name as his mother said earlier.
"Where's wind? is she okay, Git?" Continue mr. Idris.
"Thank God it's better sir, he's in my company."
"really? Praise be to Allah... Then you go in first." Mr. Idris immediately swung his footsteps into the room.
"Lady..."
Winda turned his gaze to his father, then smiled, hugging the body of the wise man.
"Mr..."
"Are you okay, son?"
Winda nodded his head withstanding the clear circle so as not to escape his dispute.
"Yes, Mr. Winda, it's okay."
Mr. Idris caught his daughter's voice a little raucous, he knew that his daughter was holding back tears.
"You can't wait to face all of this, you know that facing all of this is not as easy as you say it is today."
Winda was silent, he tried to endure the pain in his heart, but quickly he remembered her husband's message last night so as not to cry in front of his mother, because if he cried it would only make his mother more sad.
"Yes sir, Willa is fine, father and mother, don't worry? Because there is a Brother who will always be there for every state of the Winda. So you and I don't have to worry about Vinda anymore." Says Winda with a smile on both cheeks.
Mr. Idris hugs and kisses his daughter's head, while Ms. Arini smiles little at the two.
"Oh yes, Winda had heard the father mention the name of Lili in front of earlier, who is Lili sir?" Winda remembered someone who had been called his parents. He asked his father. Mr. Idris just smiled slightly to see Winda who had forgotten the figure of Lili.
"Oh, Lilies... That was your friend as a kid... Who likes to play with Azam. Cook you forgot?"
Winda frowned increasingly curious while remembering his childhood friend.
"Lilk... Lilies..."
Not long after...
Winda remembered the figure of a little girl who was two years older than him. The little girl who makes her Azam very tired when the little girl has sulked at her brother.
"Oh yes Lili who likes the same mas Azam?" Winda's eyes widened after remembering the figure of Lili.
Mr. Idris smiled amusedly at the behavior of Winda had managed to remember his friend.
"Yes, the Lilinya Azam. He's in front with Aldi and your husband."
Deg.
"Wasn't Anita with them?" Says the Winda does not believe.
"No, he's Lili, Win..." Refuse Mr. Idris while laughing at Winda and passing out of the room.
"But..." Winda was a little confused so the three people who were talking outside were already standing in front of him.
"Hi.." Anita said to Vinda.
Winda did not flinch still silently staring at the woman in front of him without blinking.
"Wins... Hi." Anita's voice broke the Vinda's daydream.
"A-a-Anita?" nervously. Vinda called Anita's name stammering.
"Yes, I'm Anita Pricilia." Answer Anita. "Lili is my nickname from my childhood friend." Anita smiled little at her lips.
"Is Lili really you Anita?"
"Yes, I'm Lili, Win.." They hugged each other. Let go of their longing for years.
"I'm sorry for not recognizing you at all... I'm sorry." Anita regrets her actions that have hurt the younger brother of the man she loved so much since her childhood. The guilt towards Vinda is like a Himalayan mountain, and the thorns of a rose that have hurt someone.
On the day Brian has been sentenced to death by a doctor, Bram immediately told Renaldi after telling Sigit. Then Renaldi called Anita and told her that her nephew was dead.
In the evening of the prayer service at Papi Winata's house, Renaldi had told him who Anita really was to Sigit and Bram. From that night Sigit was as ordinary towards Anita as Renaldi was.
Winda nodded while wiping his tears. Anita breaks her embrace to Winda.
"Srrrr... Willa really can't believe we could meet like this..."
They smile at each other with their eyes looking at the changes in their very different forms far from their childhood.
❄️❄️❄️
It did not feel their conversation lasted so long until the night was getting late was not felt by Winda.
Sigit and Renaldi felt worried about the condition of Winda if they were left to continue chatting together in the waiting room. Sigit waited long enough Winda hoped to invite him home, but Winda was still fun chatting with Anita made Sigit undo his intentions and fell asleep on the chair.
Seeing Sigit who fell asleep on the chair makes Renaldi could not bear to see him, finally Renaldi ventured to remind Winda.
"Wins... It's late, better be connected again tomorrow. Go home and pity your husband if he waits for you." Renaldi said while pointing at Sigit who had fallen asleep.
Winda turned his head to the direction the man pointed next to him. She saw the body of her husband curled up on a chair with both hands as a backrest.
"O Allah is Sigit..."
"Pity right? go home, wake him up slowly don't surprise him."
Winda nodded at Aldi's words, then turned to look at his parents.
"Here you go, let me wait for you with your father, you go home and do not worry about them. Now I'm the one who has to take care of them." Winda hesitated to hear Aldi's sentence because he felt bad.
"Yes, Win was right that Aldi said just now, you go home." Anita's voice strengthened the sentence of the man beside her.
Winda was silent for a moment looking at the two people. Then I heard an answer from him.
"You're so good to me and the parents, thank you, thank you so much, Anita..."
"Hm."
"Well then I'll go home first."
Winda looked at the faces of the two and then moved from his seat to walk closer to her husband who had fallen asleep.
