A Wife's Escape

Little Angel

Keyran who decided to seek the wind finally headed to the hospital garden. Arriving there, he sat on a white bench around which there were not many people.

From a distance he saw so many people walking around who were also looking for fresh air like himself. There are many patients, patient families, nurses, hospital staff, the elderly, and children who are playing there too.

"Huh ..." Keyran sighed, he now felt much more relaxed. He can take off a little tired due to the underwearing events that have happened to him lately.

Tired, it feels much more exhausting than working all day. Though I just sat and waited, but once he woke up the result was different from my expectations. Even when his entire family came, he felt nothing less, he did not need my existence.

After all this I finally realized. That waiting is exhausting, being ignored is painful, but not knowing what to do is worse suffering. Whether or not the future can continue together, despite all that, I just want him to accept me and admit me.

"Now I'm really confused ..." Keyran bowed lethargicly, just staring at his own knees.

Shortly thereafter, a tennis ball rolled down and hit his leg. Keyran then took the ball, then he looked up and looked around. She saw a girl with her hair braided, and also wearing a patient uniform was approaching her.

The little boy bowed in embarrassment, slowly he extended his hand. Then in a soft voice he said, "That's my ball ..."

"Here," Keyran gave the tennis ball a warm tone. The little boy looked up, looking a cheerful smile on his face from getting his ball back.

"Thank you, om .." he said happily. Then suddenly he sat down next to Keyran. The little boy clasped his ball tightly in front of his chest, then he turned to Keyran while saying, "Luckily there is a good om, this ball is a gift from mama ... Yuna would be very sad if this ball was lost ..."

"So your name is Yuna?"

I didn't ask where the ball came from.

"Yes, who's this good name?"

"Key, just call me by that name."

"Greetings, Om Key ..." Yuna then invited Keyran to shake hands. When the handshake came off he immediately said, "Om Key is sad, huh?"

"Why ask that?"

Little boy knows, it seems like my face does look very depressed.

"Ehmm .. i-it's Om Key who's often in the outpatient room over there right?" yuna asked as she pointed at the main building of the hospital that was behind her, she also pointed her index finger at one of the open windows.

"Yes, but what's the connection?"

"Yuna asked because she often saw that Om Key was daydreaming staring out of that window. But Om doesn't wear a patient uniform, so Om Key must be his family of patients who were treated there. Mama said, if you are sad so as not to drag on, you should tell others. If you don't have any friends to tell you, you can tell Yuna. But Yuna didn't force it either ..."

"How old are you?"

"Eh?! 10 Years, actually almost 11 anyway. What happened to my age?"

"It's nothing" replied Keyran who then shifted his gaze.

It could be that a 10-year-old boy would talk to me like this, my father never said that.

The conversation between Keyran and Yuna ended. But Yuna still did not leave, she no longer took the initiative to start the conversation, she just played the tennis ball by throwing it up but not too high.

"Hm ..." Keyran started to feel a little troubled, he doubted something and occasionally glanced towards Yuna.

Maybe this kid has a point too, after all he's a kid, he won't understand but at least I can tell a story, and it can relieve my feelings.

"Hey!" call Keyran.

"..." - ".Yuna did not turn her head and still continued to play the ball.

"Hey, kid!" Keyran began to growl.

"..." - ".Yuna still did not look.

"Hey, I'm calling you!"

Yuna was still silent, and realized that Keyran took the initiative to poke her shoulders, then Yuna turned her head. "What's up, om?"

"Didn't you hear me?"

Could this boy be deaf?

"Listen," Yuna replied spontaneously.

"When you hear why not answer?"

"What did Om Key call me? I said hey and boy. Besides me, there are a lot of other kids here. Mama said, if you call a person it must be by his name. Om Key himself already knows my name, so for the next one must call me by name. If om forgets my name, then I remind you again that my name is Yuna!"

"Oh, Yuna .. I'll remember."

It turned out that this brat was similar to Nisa, the two of them were both emotionally draining! But ... This is good too, maybe the way he thinks will be the same as Nisa. If it's like that then it can be likened to me talking to Nisa.

"So, why did Om Key call Yuna?"

"Because I want to tell a story, but Yuna has to promise not to tell anyone. Including her mama Yuna! Can you?"

"Yuna can, after all Yuna also rarely met mama .." said Yuna who looked a little moody.

"..."

Did I speak wrong? He was very excited to mention his mama, but once I brought him up he was sad.

"Why is he silent? Come on, quick story! Later Yuna was taken away with sister nurse, Yuna's playing hours are almost over."

"Okay, I'm starting. Yuna asked why she was sad, she was sad because she was sick, she ..."

"Wait a minute!" Yuna interrupted. "Om Key is married?!"

"Well, why?"

"If Om Key is married, then where is the son? Tomorrow let Yuna play with her, will ya?"

"Can't, I don't have any children yet. But ... Yuna just pray hopefully soon om can have children, so later Yuna can soon play with children om!"

"How can you not have it? Did God forget to send a package to Om Key?"

"P-package?!" ask Keyran astonished.

"Yes, package. Mama said, after mama and papa got married, they both had to perform a special ritual to ask for children. If the special ritual is done in earnest, then God will tell the angels to deliver the package. And the package was a child, or it could be called a little angel. Fortunately again, the good-natured angel does not charge postage. But Om Key is a good man, why did God forget to send a package to om?"

"Haha ... It's possible that the angel forgot his home address om."

Jeez, why did her mama Yuna equate the child with the online shopping feature?! Then that special ritual means .. aahhh forget it! It seems like this Yuna was educated in an unusual way. If in the future I have a child, hopefully later Nisa will not explain that the child was downloaded.

"Hmm .. that's possible, but Yuna will pray that the angel will quickly remember her home address Om Key! So that his wife can get pregnant quickly!"

"Yes, I hope the package doesn't target in the middle of the road. Now you can start telling stories?"

"Please, so other than wife om sick .. then she why?"

"He was angry with om, and before he got sick, om was also angry with him. Now I want to make up, but I don't know how. That's why you can be sad ..."

"It's easy, just apologize! Mama said, sorry is not because who made the mistake first, but because they want to fix the mistake."

"If it were ... Yuna also did not understand. Sometimes mama and papa Yuna also quarrel, and mama is angry with papa for days. But in the end they also made up, Yuna remembered that they made up because papa gave up, papa finally obeyed my mother's request."

"What did her mom Yuna ask for?"

"Mom asked to buy a new expensive bag, and mama asked for it on an old date, so papa was angry."

"O-oh ..."

This is very different from my case, if it's about that then Nisa and I won't fight. Even if I remember .. The things Nisa wanted were mostly ridiculous items. Last time he wanted a limited edition rabbit-eared bando.

Suddenly, a nurse walked over to Yuna and Keyran. The nurse put on a gentle smile as she said, "Yuna, let's go! Yuna still had to take medicine and rest to recover quickly. Yuna doesn't want papa and mama Yuna to be sad right?"

"Sister nurse, give Yuna a minute. Yuna still wanted to accompany this om.." pinta Yuna with a pinched look while holding Keyran's arm.

"Ehmm ..." The nurse started to get nervous as she looked towards Keyran.

What miracle is this?! I finally get to meet the man of my dreams! It turned out that taking care of Yuna could get a blessing in disguise, moreover Yuna seemed to be quite close to her. If I knew it was going to be like this, I should have stayed by Yuna's side instead of just looking from a distance.

"Yuna can't be like this" Keyran said, removing Yuna's hand from her arm. "Yuna had to obey what the nurse's sister said. After all for a while om will continue here, so Yuna can meet with om every day. We'll tell you again tomorrow, okay?"

"God ..." Yuna was willing to go with the nurse, but when it was a bit far away she suddenly looked back while shouting, "Om Key listen to my words!! Girls are always right! So just give up!"

Keyran was silent but smiled and nodded. He continued to look at Yuna until her shadow was no longer visible.

"I'm sorry ..." Keyran is back.

If just apologizing it's not a problem, but if I give up. The last time Nisa asked me was for a divorce, but after thinking hard all this time, still I still couldn't find a way out.

"Either would it be what her reaction would be if I appeared in front of her. I'm so curious about that, maybe I should try it later."

***

Keyran who had argued with himself repeatedly finally managed to establish himself. But he suddenly stopped when he was about to open the door of Nisa's nursery.

Strange ... this is not as good as before, lest the Nisa family have gone home. But this is good, if I go in then there will only be me and Nisa.

CLAAK ...

The door was opened, and Keyran guessed that even Nisa's family had gone home, but there was still one person, Reihan. Reihan is currently just busy playing mobile while sitting next to Nisa. Keyran was also a little disappointed when he saw Nisa who had fallen asleep again. He then walked closer to the patient's bed, he said nothing and just rubbed Nisa's head.

"The others have come home, why don't you come home?" keyran asked without looking at Reihan.

"Sister Nisa can't be left alone yet, so I'm waiting for your arrival." replied Reihan whose gaze can't be separated from the phone screen.

"When did he fall asleep?"

"For a long time, this room was the best class, very comfortable for my lazy brother, so he was easy to sleep."

"Oh, good if it's comfortable." Keyran gave a small smile, then suddenly he kissed Nisa's forehead.

The scene was briefly seen by Reihan, but Reihan was silent as if he was camouflaged with air, he acted as if he had never seen it.

"Nisa, you know what? Today in the park I met a little boy, he looks a lot like you. His attitude, his gaze, his smile, even he is also good at sweet words just like you. If we have a child, our child might look like him. Haha ... It will only happen if we continue to be together."

It all depends on the word "if"

"Emmm ... Now that brother-in-law is here, I'm leaving huh?"

"Go, you can go."

"Okay," Reihan kept his phone and immediately got out of the chair. But just before he came out, he suddenly looked back. "Oh yes! My mother's father had told me that my sister-in-law could leave Kak Nisa if there was a need in the office. Brother don't worry, later we will take turns to look after Sister Nisa."

"No need, I know which is my priority. I can still work from here anyway."

"Oh, okay. Tomorrow after school me and Dimas will be here again."

Ckck ... If you only knew that my brother was just pretending to be asleep. But yeah how else? At a time like this you two are both cowards. It is a suitable couple.

***

Yes there you have it, Nisa continues to play the show again and again. He only wakes up when his family visits or when Ricky does a routine checkup. On the other hand Keyran was also the same, he approached Nisa only when Nisa closed her eyes.

Day after day passed, to this day exactly 12 days after the operation. To this day there is still no conversation between Keyran and Nisa. But today Nisa's condition is progressing, her wounds are drying and the seams are being removed. Moreover, Ricky also used ointment so that Nisa's wounds healed 2 times faster.

Lately Keyran also no longer feel too anxious or depressed, because he every day took the time to play with Yuna. And right now it is too.

On the other hand there is still Ricky who sometimes also persuades Nisa to lower her ego. However she knows Nisa very well, and Nisa is the kind of person who is very difficult to relinquish as well as continue to hang on to her selfish attitude.

"Aren't you tired of being like this?" ricky asked while arranging the infusion hose.

"Tired? For days all I did was lie down, what was exhausting?" nisa answered while changing the TV channel.

"Ck," Ricky grinned, suddenly he snatched the TV remote from Nisa's hand and turned off the TV. "You also don't pretend to be stupid, which I don't mean! Only an idiot would believe that you happen to always sleep when there is him. Once again I made it clear, he knew that you were just pretending."

"Why indeed? I realized he knew I was pretending, but he chose to be an idiot. He had no intention of waking me up, which meant that he had nothing to say to me!"

"Huh ... Nisa, are you going to continue like this forever?"

"..." for a moment Nisa was stunned, then then she lowered her head. "I was surprised Rick, when it was accidentally met at the bazaar, your attitude was much different from the current one. Now, you're impressed like you forced me to stay with him. What does this attitude mean?"

"Huft ... turns out this is what you're asking," Ricky then puts the TV remote on the table, then he sits on the bed but turns his back on Nisa. "Do you really want to know the answer?"

"Yes, very."

"The answer .. I myself cannot give a definite answer. Actually my attitude became like this just because of you, because I don't know why I don't have the heart to see you like this. And ..."

"And what? Why is he suddenly silent?"

"If I continue, you'll have to promise not to get angry."

"Yes, I promise. Just say it!"

"Ehmm .. and I always look at you, I know that if you are depressed, you always try to divert your mind by counting, even I pay attention to hundreds. If you continue like this, it could be that your depression will recur. And it's obviously not good if you're taking antidepressants, too."

"Haha .. This reminds me of the past, you used to always observe my psychic condition, and that's why we were finally able to get close. Then ... would you also advise me to consult with that damn psychiatrist?"

"Hey, don't talk like that. Aslan would be furious if he heard his father insulted. After all, if you are reluctant to consult, then do not be forced. So this is what my attitude means, I think you'll feel better if you make up for it."

"Either Rick, just talking to him is hard."

But I think now Keyran is not too sad, he always tells me about a little boy who looks like me who often plays with him in the park. He's a good grown man, he deserves a much better woman than me.

"Huft .. It's okay, strengthen yourself first." Ricky stood up, then he turned on the television he had turned off earlier. "It turns out you still love watching sailor moon."

"Yes, you're right. You'd better go, who needs you not just me ..."

"Well, I'll see you later in the afternoon ..." Ricky took his notes and walked away. When he had just taken 3 steps, suddenly someone opened the door. That person was also not a stranger, and that person also appeared to be carrying fruit parcels.

"J-Joe?!" Nisa.
