As Strong as the Mentari, as Soft as the Moon

Episodes 104. That man turned out to be my husband

I opened the door of Faaz's doctor's room hard. The door slammed into the wall, causing a noise. Doctor Faaz who was resting gasped at my behavior. He rubbed his face and immediately corrected his sitting position.

"Fara...?!" he said when he saw me standing in the doorway. His hands fixed his glasses. "What's wrong? tanyanya while looking at me. And there was a big question at the end of his gaze.

"Why didn't Faaz tell me that these eyes belonged to my own husband, Brother Keanu?" I said with a trembling voice. "Fara.I have a reason why I didn't tell you.." Faaz said. "Because Keanu's brother asked for it?" I said with a high voice. Doctor Faaz let out a heavy sigh. While his hands repeatedly rubbed his face rough.

"I'm sorry, Fara." Faaz said feelingly. "A month ago, Keanu had an anuphal shortly after he fell down the stairs. At that time he was trying to save your child" said doctor Faaz.

Deg.

I'm stunned. Doctor Faaz's words managed to blow my mind. "A month ago? Saving our son? I don't understand, Brother...Hasn't Keanu's brother been gone since the accident? But why did you say a month ago?" I asked full questions. I'm fucked. Really gamang.

"I'm sorry, Fara." said doctor Faaz. His voice began to shake. "Say the real brother. Don't make me more chaotic" I said softly because my energy seemed to have disappeared like water evaporating just like that.

"After the accident. We take you to a different place. Because you have different wounds. And Keanu was worse than you and Satria at the time. In addition to losing both legs, he also had a tear in his stomach. Tearing it to damage the side of his kidney and scratches the respiratory system yes. It would be a miracle if he survived at that time.

Doctor Faaz Flashback On

"Faaz.." said Keanu stammered shortly after he regained consciousness from a two-week coma. It's really a miracle. Miracles from God. With all the injuries he suffered, the doctor predicted that it was impossible for him to survive. "Fara.." said Keanu still stammering and very shrewd. "Fara survived. He's in the treatment room" I said, trying to break down a smile.

"How's my face now? What percentage of my damage" he said trying to laugh. "Bro.you're still handsome" I chuckled despite saving my grief over the events that my best friend experienced. He also laughed while enduring his pain. "Then the damage?" ask again. "Ninety percent." I said.

"My legs?" ask again. "It looks like it should be rested, bro.." I said. Keanu again chuckled in the middle of his pain. "And Fara, how is he. Just say Faaz.." said Keanu lirih.

I breathe heavily. Do I have to lie about Fara's condition? Or should I be honest? And shall I say that at the request of her mother, you were declared dead before Fara? I'm gamang. My mind is at great war. "Say Faaz...Don't lie" said Keanu who had to make me swallow my saliva.

"For him you're gone, son. My mom said it. Sorry mama...?" said the Vienna mama who had just arrived. "Ma...What's mom doing?" keanu. "It's for your own good. Don't you want to be a burden?" said the Vienna mama who made Keanu speechless. Only her tears kept flowing.

"I love you, Fara. Ii'm sorry. Maybe this is the best" Keanu said later. I cried in my heart to see the pain of my best friend, Keanu. "Faaz, please take care of Fara. Let him know about me as he believes right now. And give him the best treatment. All costs you don't have to worry about" Keanu said. I'm speechless. Unable to speak. Only my head is weak.

Doctor Faaz Flashback Off

I'm stunned. My tears are falling free. "I can't stop thinking, why does Brother Keanu have such thoughts. Is it not like husband and wife, then like the sorrow will be lived together? But why did Brother Keanu choose to leave me far away" I said feeling. "Keanu never left you, Fara. He is always close to you" said doctor Faaz who sat on the floor next to me.

"When in the cemetery he actually accompanied you. He forced me to join you. The night your son was forcibly taken, he tried to save him. And that night was also his last night" Faaz said. I'm stunned. My mind wandered back and targeted the events in the cemetery. But I did not see the bright spot of his presence. "Ghifari.." said doctor Faaz.

Deg.

"Ghifari...?" lirih. Hearing Ghifari's name called, suddenly I was gagu. "He took the middle name of your son, Rafan Ghifari Abdullah" Faaz said. I closed my face and cried. "It was my stupid move that I didn't recognize him. What kind of wife am I..?!" pilu. "The situation is a little different, Fara so you don't recognize it" Faaz said. Yes, Robby, I have felt his presence. I even mentioned Keanu's brother when Ghifari was near me. Why I don't trust my own instincts. I'm ingrained.

I sobbed when I remembered the night my son was forcibly taken. At that time Keanu's brother came to see me as Ghifari. And he congratulated the birth of his own first son. Yeah, Robby, even with his imperfect condition, he's still worried about me and his son. The attraction of the boy I just born turned out to be unable to be ignored. Apparently he was so curious about the look and feel of his little baby that he came to see us. I believe he was happy at the birth of his first son. Unable to imagine how his face reaction when looking at the face of his son at that time. But why does he still retain his lie? He had the opportunity to acknowledge who he really was.

"And when your son is in danger, he tries to save him. But unfortunately its limitations become a barrier. It was even fatal to himself. Keanu fell down the stairs. And that just aggravated his wound. Not to mention the new wounds he suffered. That night was his last night. But before his departure, he made a statement about his property and cornea. His statement was made in front of his lawyer" Faaz said, shrinking his tears. Apparently he was not able to recount the suffering of his best friend.

I was crying like that. This reality is so heartbreaking. I don't know if I'd be able to live this life on my own without you, brother. You're the only man capable of giving color to my life. I'm sure you can't be a memory in my life. Because you are the present and the future for me.

"From Keanu." said doctor Faaz while thrusting a blue envelope. "Letter...? From Keanu's brother?" I said as I stared fixedly at the blue envelope in the hands of doctor Faaz. My hands grabbed it...
