A Story of the Haram Child
Chapter 27 Between Love and Heartache
Anarya who began to realize from the influence of tranquilizers felt his entire body as if it was crumbling dimly. The pain spreads throughout the joint. Slowly he opened the net and circulated his gaze to the corner of the room.
For a moment his gaze stopped on the two figures who used to clash with each other, but now they sit side by side sleeping with each other's heads. Bu Bram's hand was also above Daneela's arm, it was holding Daneela's fingers.
Anarya could hardly believe it, several times she wiped her net to make sure. The view remains the same. To be more certain, Anarya pinched her own arm.
"sickness. Yes, it's real. I'm not dreaming. Since when do they get along, huh?" murmured Anarya with three frown lines on her forehead signifying her sense of wonder.
"Aaw ... Why is my body so sick?" lamented Anarya when trying to get up want to sit down.
"Anarya, are you awake?" asked Daneela who was shocked by Anarya's moaning voice, she woke up and approached Anarya.
Ms. Bram who was asleep with Daneela also woke up and rushed to her son.
"Want a drink, son?"
"Yes, Ma. It's so thirsty."
"Here drink." Bu Bram offered a bottle of mineral water which was immediately welcomed by Anarya.
It did not take long, 600ml mineral water only a few gulps. Dahaga that struck vanished like giving rise to new hope for him.
"When did you guys get along?" tanya Anarya could not hide the growing curiosity.
Ms. Bram and Daneela looked at each other, throwing smiles at each other. Gently Bu Bram grabbed his son's shoulder.
"I'm sorry, Mama Anarya. All this time Mama has taken away your happiness, but not now." The soft voice calmed Anarya's heart.
"Thank God Mama finally realized that. Narya's been tormented all this time, Ma. Every second of Anarya's life was filled with guilt for Daneesa's late life."
"Now atone for your guilt by opening your heart to Daneela" whispered Bu Bram.
Anarya looked at Bu Bram with a clueless look. There was a big question mark in his mind. As if knowing what her son was thinking, Ms. Bram smiled.
"navity ... Mama's sure you can find your happiness with Daneela. By Nesa Putri Anarya, your little angel."
"But, Ma."
"Sttt ... Why don't you ask Daneela directly, if she's willing to be Madame Anarya?" it was Goda Bu Bram who made Anarya blush in shame.
"Da-Daneela .. emm .. ma-ma-you ..." Anarya's tongue became muffled, the nervousness she had experienced when expressing her sense to Daneesa she now felt again.
Daneela who was waiting for Anarya to continue her sentence looked down in embarrassment. His heart was pounding, beating unnaturally beyond his usual frequency. This was the first time he opened his heart to men.
"Daneela," called Anarya as she touched the hand of Daneela who was busy twisting the tip of the shirt.
"Yes." Yeah."
"Do you love me too?"
Daneela was surprised by Anarya's question. Why didn't he just shoot me with 'I love you? Why should I ask you to reveal my feelings?
"Answer, Daneela. I want to hear it directly. I-I'm .. I'm afraid if there's a rejection."
Daneela tried to stare at the male netra before her, trying to dive into the clear netra that shone a lot of sadness there. Many injuries caused him to feel afraid.
"I'm Daneela, you might see Daneesa in me. But I want you to love me as Daneela, not Daneesa." The sentence slid lightly from Daneela's lips, a request that was at once her hope.
"I realized that, you are indeed his twin brother, but not a single bit did I find the figure of Daneesa in you. Daneesa lives in my little daughter, that's why I love Nesa so much."
Momentary silence. The sound of the clock ticking and the sighing of subtle breaths were heard.
"If I love you, all regardless of my past. I want to start over with you without you revealing my past."
"And that too if you accept my present condition." Anarya's face was down, there was a deep sadness she felt, especially because of the condition of her legs now.
"Anarya .. pin it on me." Daneela grabbed the back of the hand of the man who is now experiencing the crisis of confidence.
Netra Anarya roundly did not believe what she heard.
"No, Narya ... Daneela asked to be proposed." seduced Bu Bram with a happy smile.
"You sure?" With a hopeful look Anarya asked for certainty.
"It is 100% like I believe that you are a loyal man who will try to make me happy until later." Daneela's smile was on her lips.
The relief in every heart is so real created. Smiles of despair and love are created on the lips that continue to chant prayers of hope.
***
Anarya has been hospitalized for eight days. His condition is getting better even though he cannot stand. The presence of Daneela and her little daughter becomes an oasis for her dying soul.
Today the doctor allowed him to go home. Accompanied by the steps of those who loved her made Anarya spread a smile along the way.
"Kok, Daddy's smiling to himself?" asked Nesa while struggling spoiled on Anarya's shoulder.
"Father is happy because Daddy's angel is near Dad." Jemari Anarya pinched Nesa's chin.
"Nesa is happy too, Dad. But it's even happier to be able to stay with Mom and Dad."
Daneela who heard was misbehaving. While Bu Bram was smiling, there was happiness that enveloped his heart when he saw his favorite son smiling again.
"Eyang Kung, can you stop by for ice cream? Nesa wants to buy ice cream that is a big box, so that later it can be eaten together with Dek Resti," Pinta Nesa to Pak Bram who is still focused on controlling the speed of the car.
For a moment the atmosphere became silent. There was confusion surrounding their minds.
"Nesa, we go back to Eyang's house" Anarya said as she flicked Nesa's hair behind her ear.
"Lho, why, Dad? Nesa was already missing with Dek Resti. Nesa hasn't brought her snacks in a long time."
"We'll see Dek Resti later, okay? Wait for me to heal," persuaded Daneela.
"Smile donk .. if the pout will be beautiful lost, you know." Daneela pinched the second squash of Nesa's cheeks.
"Beautiful Granddaughter, look ahead. There is a store that sells the best ice cream. So buy?" ask Mr. Bram while pulling the car over.
"Yes donk, Eyang." Nesa's netra binar instantly shone.
"Come, Ma. The Princess is coming too?" connect Nesa.
"Yes, Eyang will be the deal," replied Bu Bram excitedly down from the car.
Different angels at that time also walked in line. Nesa's little fingers held the two together. With carefree steps the little girl continued to sing and swing her hands.
The smell of ice cream lurched out tempting tastes as the shop's glass doors opened. Seemed some visitors who deliberately enjoy a delicious dish of ice cream combined with various toppings.
"Wow ... Ma, it's an ice cream palace, huh?" Netra Nesa was full of admiration to see the various images of ice cream that decorated the walls.
"Ma, can you eat here, right?"
"No way, honey. Poor Eyang Kung and Dad are waiting in the car."
"But Nesa wants to, Ma."
"So he said he wanted to eat together?"
"Oh yes, nding. Nesa forgot, Ma." The little girl brushed aside the cheekbones and grinned funny.
One ice cream box with three flavors of durian, strawberry, and chocolate, as well as several separate toppings has been fortified by Nesa's small hands. The shadow of enjoying his favorite ice cream makes him impatient to return to the car.
Just turning her body about to head for the exit, Nesa shouted out the name Resti. Sontak makes Daneela and Bu Bram's attention distracted.
Justright. From the entrance, it appears that Lasmi is holding Resti. Their gazes clashed. There's a sense in Daneela's heart. It was a huge heartache to know what she had done to her twin sister.
"How are you, Mama-in-law?" greet Lasmi with a sneering tone.
"No need for further ado" said Ms. Bram.
"Why, Ma? Yes, Daneela knows the cause of Daneesa's death. It was all Mama's idea." Lasmi half whispered near Bu Bram's ear, then smiled wickedly when she saw Bu Bram's pias-turned expression.
"Why are you surprised, Ma?" Lasmi felt above the clouds because she was able to make the woman who had been defending her lose face in front of Daneela.
Daneela who heard all the talk became re-aware that the woman who would become her future father-in-law also had a share in the death of her twin brother.
"Come, Nesa. The ice cream's gonna melt." Daneela grabbed Nesa's arm which was busy letting go with Resti.
Ms. Bram who saw Daneela step out leaving herself wordlessly felt even more uneasy. He does not want the happiness of his son who just wanted to be stirred up lost back to the country of mistakes in his past.
"Review you, Lasmi. You snake mouth, sorry I ever believed your words." Ms. Bram was so upset by Lasmi's attitude.
With a thousand steps he followed Daneela who had already entered the car. I don't know what will happen after this. Really, Bu Bram doesn't have the guts if Daneela later introspects him.
