Theatricals
Ep.33 - Edelweiss Request
Jonathan glanced at the clock on his wrist, his eyes also incessantly glancing at Edelweis' desk through the glass from his room. Though clearly, this morning Edelweis left first, earlier than usual. However, the existence of the woman had not been seen by him. Just this time he felt anxious about the state of the woman.
Until the phone that rang resuscitated his daydream, he picked up the call from Sinta.
“Halo, sir. I want to remind me that 10 minutes you have a meeting with the company Mr. Barudin Sukma.”
Jonathan nodded, “Oke, thank you. Please call me, Sin my next schedule.”
“This morning I had a meeting with Mr. Barudin Sukma. By noon, I have a lunch schedule with Bu Bintan to discuss our latest project. For today I only have 2 meetings.”
“Okay, thank you.”
“Good, sir. Any more sir I can help?”
Jonathan shook his head, “No. You can prepare for a meeting this morning.”
“Good, sir then I'll hang up.”
“Wait, Sin!”
“Iya, sir?”
“Edel where, huh? How come he's not at his desk yet? I haven't seen him this morning.”
It was quiet for a while when Jonathan asked Sinta that question. “Sin?” call Jonathan back.
“Sorry, sir. I don't know, mbak Edel not news anything with me.”
Jonathan sighed softly, “Yaudah, thanks.”
Jonathan turned off the call. He leaned against his chair, looking at the Edelweiss table from his room. Bizarrely. Only this time did he feel so anxious about the woman's situation. He had never felt that way before. Is it because she knows that now Edelweis is pregnant, her son?

The eyes blinked, opening their eyelids slowly to adjust the light entering their eyes. The first thing that was seen was the white roof and the smell of the medicines that smelled very stinging. Knowing he was in the hospital, Edelweis rushed to wake up. He was traumatized by the hospital, which always reminded him of his parents who were covered in blood due to the accident.
“Hey, hey, relax. You just realized.”
Edelweis stared at the confused and anxious man beside him, the man holding both of Edelweis' shoulders. Edelweis quickly brushed off the man's hand.
“Who do you?” edelweis. “Bold-dare her lo hold me.”
The man did not answer, smiling faintly at Edelweis's behavior. Seeing that it made Edelweis even more upset, he rushed down from the bed, removing the origin of the infusion in his hand.
“Oh mom, where are you going? This is again the infusion why it was released, bu.”
Edelweis grunts annoyed, “Mother! Mama! I'm still young, yes!”
“Yes, sorry mbak. But, this is the infusion why is it released like this? Look, my hands are bleeding.” said the nurse as she tried to grab the hand of Edelweis whose back was bleeding.
“Udah anyway, gakpapa. Yes, yes, I want to go.”
“But, mbak— Yes, geez... Ma'am! What is this doctor?”
Doctor David, the man who discovered Edelweis, collapsed at the funeral while on a pilgrimage to his sister's grave. He was also the one who was stared at sharply by Edelweis while helping the woman who looked hysterical and rushed away.
David, he lifted Edelweis' body and laid her back on the bed. She asked the sisters to repair the infusion that Edelweis had forcibly removed.
David was speechless, he smiled faintly staring at the woman's calm face. “Ila.” murmured David thinly when memories once again repeated in his mind.

“So, you who nolongin me who fainted at the funeral?” edelweis asked, she glanced at the cynical man who was currently sitting beside her. Just as Edelweis regained consciousness, he tried to escape again. But was arrested again.
It was as if there was fear in Edelweis' eyes, the man who had just become acquainted with Edelweis named David immediately advised Edelweis to calm down in the hospital garden so beautiful while waiting for the woman's condition to completely recover.
“Yes, I helped you. Coincidentally, I am also in the same place, not far from your place.”
Edelweis berohria, “Oke.”
David chuckled at such a reply, he smiled at Edelweis who was staring at him cynically. “You have no intention of saying thank you?” david asked, he raised his eyebrows.
Edelweis frowned irritably, “Dih. Oh, yes, lo the doctor turned out. When can I go home? I don't want to, yeah long here. Not like me!”
“Please calm down, wait until your infusion runs out, then you can go home. Don't pity if you're the same yourself, if you're forced to go home. Remember loh, you are not alone now, there is also someone you have to take care of.”
Edelweis was silent for a moment, he was too indifferent to his fetus all along. Perhaps because the presence of the fetus was not expected, then Edelweis behaved so.
“Oh... So, you know I'm pregnant.”
“I'm a doctor, La.”
Edelweis turned his head, surprised and confused. “La?”
“I mean, Edel. Your name is Edelweis Nequila right?”
David rounded his eyes, he let out a rough sigh. “Yes, geez... You guessed too much like that. You will faint in public places, automatically I have to find your identity.” David nodded, “You should carry that identity, so it's not too difficult to know who you are.”
Edelweis rolled his eyeballs, “Oh, that's it. But, I don't permit you to call me by La's call, La's that's it. Can't! Hurti!?” edelweis said, he stared intently and cynically at David.
“Why?”
“Kepo really lo, doc. Anyway, why are you still here? It's there, go. Lo work! Doctor is hanging out doing his job.”
David got up from his seat, “Just relax. Anyway, my duty hours have not actually started yet. For your sake, I immediately intervened.”
“Dih, what a hell.

“Where are you? Not in the office all day?”
Edelweis was not mistaken to hear not when he heard the question Jonathan asked him. He looked up, looking at the man with a smile that was hard for him to endure.
Jonathan sat down before Edelweis, he took a glass and poured water into it. “Lo don't get me wrong first. I didn't mean anything. I just don't like the same people who want to, leave that responsibility. Not professional.”
Edelweis smiled even more, he shook his head indifferently. “Whatever, I don't care. The point is, you're anxious too because I'm not in the office?” Edelweis chuckled, he put away the milk of the pregnant mother he was making. He folded his hands on the table. “Why don't you call me? Ask me where, then. Let's not worry. Don't you have my number? Feeling, I have saved my number on mobile phone deh.”
Right, no. Edelweis was very confident. Therefore, Jonathan was actually reluctant to ask that question. But, his mouth could not hold back, and finally the question came out.
“Gue said, don't misunderstand me. Anyway, I do not care where you actually go, only if you have no news and something happens the same lo, I will also be wrong. Mama same Papa, must have wronged me if you why-napa.”
Edelweis smiled faintly. “Oh... Yes, but I hope you really worry about me.”
Jonathan threw his face away, he didn't look at Edelweis. However, he also did not leave in front of the woman. His eyes now saw Edelweis sipping chocolate milk.
“Since when do you drink milk to sleep?”
Edelweis had just gulped down half of the glass, he put the glass back. “Since today. Since the doctor advised me to drink milk pregnant women.” replied Edelweis, he sniffed his shoulders.
“Lo from doctor?”
Edelweis chuckled, he smilingly looked at Jonathan. “That's right, you're talking to me, Jo! Do you think Jo Lo actually cares about me? Aye, right? Yes, honestly! I'm not mah, I swear.”
Jonathan clucked, he rolled his eyeballs lazily. “As far as you are, I do not care.” said Jonathan, he was ready to leave. However, Edelweis' words managed to undo his intentions.
“Gue to Mami's funeral with Papi, Jo. Don't know why, suddenly I passed out there.”
Jonathan couldn't hide his surprise, “Terus, how?” jonathan asked, the anxiety implied clearly on his face.
Edelweis smiled thinly, “Luckily there is someone who helped me. He took me to the hospital, he happened to be a doctor. The one who helped me was a doctor. So, I was treated for a while there.” Edelweis showed the traces of the infusion in his hands. “Tuh, look. I'm not lying, seriously.”
Jonathan knew that this time Edelweis wasn't lying at all.
“Doctor say what same lo?”
“Gue is only recommended for rest and not too much thought.”
Jonathan frowned. “Lo thinkin' what the hell, Del? You feel you have no burden whatsoever. Work in the office is also Sinta who handles everything. Have any load try lo?” jonathan asked confused, Edelweis should not have a burden indeed.
“Unfortunately lo know, Jo thought me what is it?”
Jonathan quiet.
“No? So, you have no right to assume that I have no mind let alone any burden. Everyone has times, only the difference is there is appointed, there is no. And, I'm not the kind of person who'll show the burden of my mind.”
“Lo do not want to ask, what is the burden of my mind now?”
Jonathan should have said no, but his mouth said something else. “What?” ask Jonathan.
Edelweis smiled happily as Jonathan asked, but stared at his stomach. “What is the fate of him, huh, Jo? If he knows, it turns out his parents have a relationship that is not like the relationship of normal people out there.”
“Means lo?”
“Yes, we know, Jo. How is our relationship. I live together, there is not even a little chemistry between. Our relationship, still... Same as before. No progress at all.”
“Del, what the hell lo. You even know how our wedding is. Lo—”
“Iya, I know.” Edelweis stood up. “Gue knows we're married because we're being betrothed. I know, you don't love me but each other. You made a ridiculous deal, which I never even thought you could make like that. I also know, you have intentions what's going forward about our relationship.” Edelweis was standing before Jonathan, who was still sitting in his seat.
“But, Jo. Don't you want to open your heart? You do not want to try to intertwine our relationship like a real husband and wife? Do you want to?” lirih Edelweis, he stared fixed Jonathan who could not dwell for a while.
“Del, kita—” Jonathan has tried to stand up, but was held back by Edelweis so that the man is still sitting in his place.
“Don't for me because I'm sure, it won't be possible. Try to think, for her sake.” Edelweis drew Jonathan's hand, carrying the man's hand to the belly of his queen.
“For her, Jo. For the sake of lo.”
