Fathan asked sharply and in disbelief. Is she really going to marry Fathir?
Seeing Fathan's reaction, the smile on Alma's face instantly disappeared. His feelings were now filled with fear and regret. He was afraid that the man would come back to do bad things, and also regretted that he had introduced Ayun.
"True, I will marry Fathir, Brother," Ayun replied kindly with a sweet smile that looked beautiful on her face.
Without saying anything, Alma immediately pulled Ayun out of the place to make Ayun jump in shock, as well as Fathan who was surprised because of what his mother did.
"W-What's up, Auntie?" ask Ayun in confusion. Of course he felt astonished because suddenly Alma forcefully pulled him out of the room.
The doctor and nurse who saw them coming out also looked a little shocked with a puzzled look, especially at this time Alma's face looked very pale like a frightened person.
"What's up, Auntie, what's going on?" tanya Ayun returned while holding onto both of Alma's shoulders making the woman gasp.
"Ti-no, Swing. You shouldn't have met her, she shouldn't have known about your whereabouts, she shouldn't have known that Fathir was going to marry you" Alma said excitedly, his face turned pias with panic that made his entire body tremble violently.
Swing was stunned when he heard what Alma said, let alone seeing the enormous fear on the face of his future father-in-law.
"Calm down, Auntie. Everything will be fine, nothing bad will happen" Ayun said slowly.
Alma shook her head to refute Ayun's words. Her feelings turned agitated and chaotic, still vividly remembering how Fathan looked when he found out that Ayun was Fathir's future wife.
"We should call Fathir and his papa immediately, we should tell them about all this" Alma said later.
With trembling hands, Alma tried to grab her bag lying on the table. She had to pick up a cell phone immediately in order to contact her son and husband.
Swing stared softly. It hurt her heart to see what Alma was doing. Look, it turns out that all this time it was not just Fathir who lived in suffering. Even the parents suffered much more than their children.
So what happens if this problem continues to drag on? Doesn't that mean their suffering will never end?
Swing then approached Alma and immediately hugged the woman's body tightly making Alma gasp. "Calm down, Auntie. God willing nothing bad will happen, trust me." He spoke softly.
Alma immediately sobbed while expressing the fear she felt. He is afraid that Fathan will again commit a crime to harm Fathir and Ayun. If that happened, then he would not be able to live anymore.
"Astaghfirullahal'adzim, Istighfar Aunty" said Ayun as he stretched his arms. He wiped the tears on the woman's face. "Tante must not say that, for every speech is a prayer. We should"
"Mama!"
Ayun was unable to continue when she heard the voice of someone's call, she turned to look towards Fathan's room, as well as Alma and everyone else in the place.
"Geez, Mr. Fathan!" the doctor screeched with a panicked face as he saw Fathan already standing at the door holding onto the wall. No more infusion needles were attached to the man's hands, as well as breathing apparatus that should always be worn.
The doctor and nurse immediately approached Fathan who was looking at his mother and Ayun, while the two women were glued to their spot with dumbfounded gazes.
"Mama!"
Alma gasped when she heard Fathan's call. "Be-stop right there, don't come any closer!" He pointed right at Fathan who was about to walk towards him, and stood right in front of Ayun as if protecting the woman.
Both of Fathan's eyes returned glazed with a pushy gaze. The fear and anxiety on her face seemed to hit her chest.
"Master, you can't be like this. You should-"
"Take me off!" Fathan threw out the hand of the Doctor who was holding onto his arm, not caring if at this moment fresh blood flowed profusely from his hand.
"Mama." Fathan called his mother again with grief, making Alma more bullied. However, another thing with Swing. He felt as if Fathan had no intention of hurting him at all.
Brucks.
"Fathan!"
Everyone exclaimed loudly at the same time when they saw Fathan's body falling on the floor, even Alma's hand was stretched forward as if to catch his son's body.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry" said Fathan, trembling. His head bowed before his mother and Ayun. "I'm sorry, Ma. I'm sorry for making you suffer like this, I'm sorry." He really felt very sorry.
Instantly the atmosphere turned silent because of what Fathan was doing. The doctor and nurse beside him did not dare to do anything, nor did the mother who was silent while looking at him sharply.
"Auntie." Swing holding Alma's hand made the woman flinch and immediately turned to her. "Are we going to let Brother Fathan like that continue?" He asked slowly.
Alma sighed heavily while trying hard to calm her feelings. He looked at Ayun who was also looking at him expectantly, as if to say that everything would definitely be fine.
"What, what do you want to do, Fathan?" asked Alma hesitantly .
Fathan immediately raised his head and looked at the mama softly. "Me, I just want to talk to my mom. I want to talk to that woman, too."
Alma fell silent, she still felt doubtful and indecisive. The feeling of fear also still enveloped his heart.
"Help, Brother," said Ayun with a sincere smile as he approached Fathan, making Alma fixated on the spot. "But Brother has to go back to the room first, after that we can talk."
Fathan looked at Ayun deeply, as if he was judging the woman before him at the moment.
"Is Fathir really going to marry you? Does he love you?" ask Fathan.
Swing was stunned to hear the question Fathan was giving, while Fathan himself continued to stare at him sharply. "God willing we will marry, brother. And whether he loves me or not, isn't this marriage the answer?"
Fathan fell silent, trying to find honesty from the look in Ayun's eyes. A moment later, he clasped the woman's hand to make Ayun growled, as well as Alma who looked on in panic.
"Thank you, thank you for giving love to Fathir. Thank you for giving me the happiness I have destroyed. Me, I feel so happy. I always asked God that He return to bring happiness to my brother, and bestow all of Fathir's troubles on me as penance. And now God answers all my do'a-do'i" said Fathan quietly, but very conditionally of meaning.
Fathan was not angry when he heard that Fathir was getting married, only that he did not believe that his sister was truly free from the bitter times he gave.
Of course feelings of guilt and regret continue to haunt him, especially when he heard the news that his sister suffered greatly. Anyone will also suffer greatly with what he did, until finally he was determined to commit suicide because he considered that it is no longer appropriate to live after aoa happened.
But God still did not take his life. Maybe God wants to show if now his sister is okay, to make him feel a little relieved.
Ayun was stunned to hear the words of Fathan who felt very sincere, as well as Alma who again sobbed to see his eldest son.
After what happened, Fathan was brought back to his room by the Doctor and checked thoroughly. While Ayun and Alma were already outside the room.
"Oh God." Lirih Alma while rubbing her face. Today he really felt like he was being swayed by the feeling, to the point that it felt almost crazy.
Swing himself felt really happy. What Fathan does is like giving hope for Fathir's recovery, because indeed all problems start from the man.
At the same time, Evan is seen running into the hospital after getting a call from the Doctor. Sherly was also buying lunch.
"W-What's up, Doctor? What happened to my daughter?" evan asked with a gasp of breath after running around to see the Doctor.
Sherly also asked in panic and worry. He had even sobbed in front of the Doctor with a feeling of fear.
"I want to tell you if just a moment ago Suci woke up from her coma."
