AIRING With You

48. Broken

A man smiled when he heard the news that the woman he loved had been proposed to by his lover. Immediate application in front of a large family. He really did not expect that such a thing would happen. Should he be happy now?

"It's appropriate that they all close the door for me to enter" he murmured.

Regrets must be there, but he had to accept everything because this was indeed his fault. He shouldn't have done anything stupid that would ruin everything. Jealousy makes him unable to think clearly. Doing a very harmful action.

"I'm sorry, Na."

The man started to stand up and took the car keys on the nightstand. He came out of his room. The question of the father made his steps stop.

"I'm going to see Mom first."

Under these circumstances one name she remembered, mother. He drove to the hospital where his mother was.

"Whatever bad your mother is, she's still the woman who gave birth to you."

That's what the man behind the wheel holds. He was angry, but now he has made peace with reality. He had grown up and had to be a wise man just like his father.

The man's steps came to a halt when he was already in front of the treatment room. Her heart ached as her mother was talking to herself with the bolster she was hugging. Wjahnya very cute and the more days the body gets thinner.

"Khi, whatever you want, I will definitely follow. As long as Khia stays with Mom."

Moments later his mother's face was sad. He just daydreamed, and looked at the bolster he was hugging.

"The condition hasn't shown a change."

Khairan turned to the origin of the voice where the doctor who was handling his mother explained. Khai just nodded. He could only smile.

"He's really lost to Khia."

Khairan could not answer anything. His eyes were still on the empty-eyed mother. He wanted to embrace his mother's body. For almost two months now Khairan has not visited because of his busy life.

"I'm going in first, Doc." The doctor nodded.

"Mother" call Khairan. The woman is still flinching. Still staring at the bolts with a very empty look.

"Mom, sorry. Khai just saw Mom."

"Khija."

It was just her sister's name her mother had mentioned. Khairan will not be jealous because Khairan is used to his mother's treatment like this.

"Mom, may Khai ask for one hug? Khai is broken now, ma'am."

Khairan smiled with dewy eyes. His mother is now the place to complain. Although not heard at least what became a burden in his heart has been conveyed.

"Mom, is this how it feels when love is unrequited? Khai is just love itself. While he ... Loving another man. A man who says he's better than Khai. Does Khai have no right to be happy, ma'am?"

Khairan looked at his mother who was back in stupor. Khairan couldn't hold back his tears. His heartache was now multiplied because he remembered that his mother had treated him first. However, that sense he put it away. He can't remember that because it happened. Even the pain leaves a mark that will never go away.

Khairan hugged his mother's body so tightly. He felt very guilty because when the brother was gone, Khairan who still prioritizes emotions and ego would not worship or see the body of his brother for the last time. If, time could be turned back, when it did, he would get rid of his ego, hug his mother's body so tightly and say, "there is still Khai, Ma'am. Khai will replace Khia."

Unfortunately, one thing that cannot be changed is time. However, she also felt lucky because now she could hug her mother's body without the woman rebelling. After a long time he was waiting for it and only then he could feel when his mother entered the mental institution.

Khrisna, he follows the son and his body will be silent in the hospital window when he sees a scene that is very rare as long as he has Khairan.

"You should love Khai too. He's your real son even though I'm not his real father." Khrisna breathed a heavy sigh. His life journey was very steep and winding. His life test was also very difficult. However, he was able to get through it because he believed the test was to be faced not to be avoided.

The birth of Khairan strengthened his heart. At first he wanted to throw away Khairan, but his heart could not bear especially when he saw Khairan's beautiful eyes. He also realizes that Khairan is innocent at all. Since Khairan's birth, Khrishna has come to terms with the heartache of his wife's betrayal.

"You're a great man."

The doctor who treated Eriska praised Khrisna. He was a friend of Khrisna. The father of Khairan just smiled hearing that.

"You were able to educate Khairan to be a very good boy. Much better than the late Khia."

"Khia is the child that Eriska and I will be. Therefore, Eriska pampered him greatly. He promised himself that he would obey everything Khia asked. Whatever it is, and I can't interfere in educating Khia."

"Even if you have no role in educating Khia. Now you have been very successful in educating Khairan. Moreover, the sincere affection you give to him. Later, Khairan will become a great man." Khrisna looked at his son who was hugging his ex-wife.

"Yes. I wish it was like that too."

"I'm sorry, Khai. I still don't want to reveal your true identity. Dad loves you too much. I don't want you to leave Dad if you know the truth."

.

Khairan had just returned home from the hospital when dusk arrived. She didn't go home because she was crying too much. Too much complaining to the mother to cause her eyes very swollen.

"Khi, we should have switched positions. You're here and I'm in heaven there."

The other side of Khairan's humorous and cheerful attitude is like this. He will change drastically when alone. He is like a chameleon, able to put himself in various situations because he does not want others to see his sadness.

As if sitting alone in the iron chair of a deserted garden, he was disturbed by the sound of the two human dissension. His ears that wanted to feel the calmness were instead interrupted by the noise. Khairan only sighed harshly. He wanted to be angry, but he was still sane. As a result, he chose to go from there..

"I didn't do it! I can't remember!"

Khairan only shook his head when he heard such harsh words coming out from the mouth of a man. It was so bad for Khairan. Khairan began to step away from the iron chair he was sitting in.

"But this is what you do."

Khairan's steps stopped when he heard the voice of the woman who chimed in the words of the man ba jingan. He remembered whose voice it was.
