About Dimas And Ella

"What's the Ndra?" nadhira asked while holding Andra's arm.

"We have to go to the hospital now, Om Adit died, and Mama passed out!" andra answered while turning on the engine of his car.

"What!" nadhira shouted in disbelief. Because from the news that he heard, two days Mr. Adit's situation has improved, why is now arriving to die.

Andra drove his car at high speed, because the distance to the hospital, was still quite far. Nadhira closed his eyes, trying to shake off the fear in his heart.

Forty minutes later, Andra and Nadhira had arrived at the hospital. Andra parked her car, and rushed down to the ICU.

Nadhira followed him behind, he also accelerated his pace, offsetting Andra's footsteps.

In front of the ICU room, Andra saw Bik Surti who was pacing back and forth alone.

"How's Mama Bik doing?" andra asked when she arrived in front of the ICU.

"The lady is not yet awake, sir, and the doctor is still examining her now" replied Bik Surti.

"Then About Adit?" ask Andra.

"It has been taken to the morgue" replied Bik Surti.

"I'll see Om Adit first Bik, if the doctor has finished examining Mama, please call me" Andra said as she looked at Bik Surti.

"Okay sir." replied Bik Surti while nodding.

"Come Nadhira!" take Andra with Nadhira's hand.

Nadhira nodded, and followed Andra's footsteps.

They continued to walk through the hospital hallway, and eventually they entered the mortuary.

Andra saw a man standing guard there.

"Where is Mr Adit?" ask Andra.

"What do you mean Aditya Rahman, a 60-year-old man, who just died a few minutes ago?" ask the guard.

"Yes." answered Andra.

"Let's come with me" said the guard as he stepped his foot.

Andra followed him behind. While Nadhira, he clasped Andra's hand very tightly, seeing many corpses lined up in the room, Nadhira felt his hair begin to bristle.

Shortly thereafter the guard stopped his steps. He looked at Andra.

"Please" said the guard.

Andra nodded, then stared at the body that was covered in white cloth. With trembling hands, Andra opened the cloth.

His heart was beating very fast, as he stared at Mr. Adit's already pale face with no life.

Without feeling his tears began to drip, why was he leaving so quickly?

Andra remembered that her day with Mr. Adit, she often made it difficult for the man, and had not had time to apologize, the man had already left her.

Andra hugged the body of Mr. Adit, even though he was just another person, but Andra felt very lost. He was used to depending on the man.

And his tears flowed more and more, as he remembered his mother.

Mr. Adit is the person he loves, Mr. Adit is the spirit of his life, and now he has been gone for a long time. Can his mother accept all this fate?

"Why Om Adit left so soon, why would Om Adit leave me, and Mama. Mama has suffered enough with her past, I hope Om Adit always happy Mama. But why now Om Adit even left Mama." Andra said in his heart.

"Wake up Om, wake up!" yelled Andra interrupted between his sobs.

It was as if he could not accept this reality.

Nadhira rubbed Andra's back slowly, knowing that her lover was very sad to face all this.

Nadhira helps Andra to wake up, and let go of his embrace to Mr. Adit, seeing that Andra's face was wet with tears. Nadhira helped rub it with the tissue she was carrying. Then Nadhira again covered Mr. Adit's face, and he looked at Andra, holding both hands.

"I know you're very lost, but don't cry like this. This will make him sad, sincere, and pray for him, may he get a beautiful place by his side." said Nadhira softly.

"How about Mama." muttered Andra very slowly.

"Why with Aunt Mirna?" nadira did not understand.

"Mama must be very sad, the proof is now until fainting. Will you be able to accept all this." said Andra, and her eyes again glazed.

"You mean?" nadhira asked, he increasingly did not understand the words of Andra. He knew Ms. Mirna had fainted, but what it had to do with Mr. Adit's death. Nadhira only assumed that Ms. Mirna had fainted, due to exhaustion.

"Om Adit, and Mama love each other. Om Adit is the spirit of Mama's life." replied Andra.

Nadhira gasped in surprise, he opened his mouth. A reality he never imagined. So far Nadhira thought, if their relationship is only limited to superiors, and subordinates.

And even more surprisingly, why Andra could easily accept all that. Because of what Nadhira knew, Andra really wanted her father to come home, and her parents back together.

Nadhira had not had time to ask further, arrived Andra's phone rang, it turned out Bik Surti.

He told me that the doctor had finished examining Ms. Mirna.

"We're going to Mama's place now!" andra said while looking at Nadhira.

Then they stepped out of the room, and headed back to the ICU. Andra rushed into the room, she saw Bik Surti, and a doctor was standing next to Ms. Mirna who was still closing her eyes.

"How is my mother doctor?" ask Andra.

"It's improved, maybe you'll soon be aware. Miss Mirna was too tired, and the burden of her mind was too much. If you are aware please try to rest enough" replied the doctor.

"Good doctor" Andra said.

"And one more thing, please help Ms. Mirna to relax, don't let her think too hard" the doctor said.

"Good doctor." answered Andra.

"I'm sorry, please call me if you need anything" the doctor said with a smile.

"Good." replied Andra while nodding.

Then Andra stepped closer to Ms. Mirna, when the doctor had stepped out.

Andra stroked Bu Mirna's hair, clasping her hand.

"Mama quickly realized yes, I need Mama. Mama has to be strong, Mama can definitely deal with all this." Andra said as she looked at Ms. Mirna gently. His eyes returned to glass.

"Patiently, Ndra, Aunt Mirna must have realized immediately" said Nadhira, rubbing Andra's back.

"Thank you Nad." said Nadhira.

Nadhira responded to Andra's words with a nod, and a smile.

***

An open room on the second floor. On a unique, simple rattan chair. Ella and Kairi were sitting together, enjoying a glass of cold drink while staring at the green grass behind her house.

They were at Kairi's house, finishing the design that was delayed yesterday.

The hour hand had shown at 12:00 p.m., they had just eaten their lunch, and now they were just enjoying their drinks.

"Gabriella." call Kairi.

"Hmmm." replied Ella while looking over.

"Who is that?" ask Kairi. A few minutes ago, he got a phone call from Dimas. The man asked about Ella to her, from her tone the man was frustrated, of course Kairi was suspicious. What exactly is their relationship?

Could Dimas be harboring other feelings for his lover?

"Silver Dimas." muttered Ella while frowning. He was a little surprised, why Kairi arrived to ask about Dimas.

"Yes, I just want to know what your relationship is like. I want to know a lot about you Gabriella" Kairi said with a smile.

"Our relationship has indeed made many people misunderstand. Many think of the kindness of Kak Dimas, because there is another meaning. But actually it's all based on guilt." Ella said as she looked at Kairi.

"People are guilty, you mean?" ask Kairi.

"My father used to work as a security guard, and sometimes also served as a driver at his home, Kak Dimas. At that time I was in 2nd grade Elementary School, and Kak Dimas 3rd grade Junior High" said Ella, he breathed a long breath, before continuing his story.

"One night, at a graduation party, Dimas came home late at night, and unfortunately that night it was raining very hard. Kak Dimas and his friends did not bring a car, because they prefer motorcycles. They can't go home on the bike, so they call home to pick her up, including Kak Dimas" Ella said. He paused his sentence, waiting for Kairi's response.

"Continue!" kairi.

"His parents Kak Dimas was out of town, and Kak Dirga was sick at the time, so Dad picked up Kak Dimas. And fateful, in the middle of the trip Dad had an accident, his car hit an electric pole, and Dad was pinned in the car. Because the night was late enough, and it was raining quite hard, help came a little late" Ella said, wiping the clear hairs that began to wet her cheeks. Remembering that time always made her cry.

"Dad was rushed to the hospital, but because the wound was quite severe, Dad fell into a coma for quite a long time. And after two weeks, I'm no longer helped, I'm dead" Ella said sobbing.

Kairi grabs Ella's body, and takes her into her arms.

"I'm sorry, I've made you remember the bitter times" Kairi said, wiping Ella's hair.

"It's okay, you deserve to know.

Since then, Dimas always blamed himself, he felt that the accident was caused by him. That night, Brother Dimas was a little pushy, but we can't blame him either, because Dad does work for his family. His parents Kak Dimas intended to compensate the money with a large enough amount, but Mother refused. Mom said if all that was a disaster, after all Dad had damaged his car Om Bram, and the hospital costs, also Om Bram who bore. So I don't want to take any money" Ella said in Kairi's arms.

"No wonder you grew up to be a good girl, it turns out your mother is also very extraordinary" Kairi said slowly.

"But it even makes Kak Dimas feel more guilty, for days Kak Dimas locked himself in the room. He was very sad, especially when he saw me sick, and was hospitalized for a month" Ella said.

"You've been sick all that time?" kairi asked in a shocked tone.

"Yes, I was so sad when Dad left. I really feel lost. And from that moment on, Brother Dimas promised to take care of me, Brother Dimas will take responsibility for my future. That's why he brought me here, and helped me start my career. Brother Dimas wants me to be a successful person" Ella explained.

"Oh so yeah." muttered Kairi.

"Yes, but now I feel uncomfortable. My whereabouts made Kak Dimas, and Mbak Yura quarrel. I want them to be happy." said Ella, letting go of her embrace.

He wiped the rest of his tears.

"You're not wrong, he's the one who can't think of adulthood" Kairi said with a smile.

"You're too innocent Ella, you still think Yura is good. You don't know, if all this time he's been planning a lot of things to frame you. But now that you're at ease, you're mine, no one will be able to touch you." Kairi said in her heart.
