Being a Night Butterfly

TMFK-31

..."There is no deeper sadness than the loss of our loved ones forever. It is true that the greatest heartbreak in the world is the loss of our loved ones forever. Where when longing is passionate, we can only embrace the headstone." ...

***

Devastated Melinda's life when she found out that her baby was dead. In such tragic circumstances. The woman's cry broke and sounded very heart-wrenching. Since the bath until the burial of Atha, I don't know how many times Melinda was unconscious. 

It was not only Melinda who was grieving here, but everyone. Theo also lost because he understood how Melinda struggled to heal the child. Fatih and Dewi felt the same way. They hated Melinda, but not Atha. In fact, the Goddess was crying roaring because of so loss. How not, all this time the Goddess who always takes care of Fatih. Makes her feel affectionate towards her own granddaughter. 

"Mel," call Fatih. Not as hard as usual. 

Melinda, who was just a few seconds away, turned her head and stared fiercely at her husband. "Why, Mas? Is it satisfied that you hurt my heart like this?" 

He got up and stood in line with Fatih. His eyes glared sharply as if they were about to escape from his place. If Fatih would usually stare boldly then not for now. Noticing the deep wounds seen from the look in her eyes made Fatih suddenly unable to speak. Just looking at him. 

"Mas, all this time I fought hard to heal Atha even to the point of selling myself. Now, because of your crimes, Atha finally left me forever. You're a demon, Mum!" snapped Melinda. The tears that were about to dry up were now flowing profusely again. The pain of losing Atha has not disappeared. 

"I didn't kill Atha!" Fatih defended herself. Feeling breathless as Melinda continued to blame herself. 

"You didn't kill him directly, but because of what you did with the bad guy, I had to lose Atha. Are you satisfied, Mom! Pleased!" The powerless Melinda finally hit Fatih's chest to channel all the pain and anger mixed into one. In fact, the desire to kill the man was very strong. 

Before she could not control herself, Melinda chose to leave there and was immediately greeted by Theo who was still standing in the courtyard of the house due to the mourning atmosphere. The man faithfully accompanied Melinda. 

"Where are you going, Mel?"  ask Theo. The tone is very soft and smooth. Theo's heart was throbbing pain when he saw the look of Melinda's eyes full of wounds. It was as if he felt the same way the woman felt. Although only briefly living with Atha, but Theo already considers the child like his own son. 

"I have to go, Sir. I don't want to live with the demons in this hell-like house. Even if I need to, I want to catch up with Atha." Melinda wipes away tears that won't subside at all. 

"Don't go far anymore. Come with me." Theo held onto both of Melinda's shoulders and looked at her expectantly. 

"Mr ...."

"Mell." Theo is shocked that Melinda is back unconscious. With a bang he carried Melinda into the car and took her home. No matter the screams of Fatih or Wijaya. 

"Follow him." Vijaya ruled Zul.

"Theo, why did you bring this woman home? You have no rights to her!" sentak Wijaya when they just arrived at Theo's house. 

"Go, Pa! Never interfere in my personal affairs! If Papa doesn't like it and will fire me as a child. Fire it! Even all of Papa's possessions that were given to me, I'll give them back!" challenge Theo bravely. It also makes Wijaya inflamed. 

"You!" 

"But, Zul. He already dares to be so insolent to me!" Wijaya's tone was still very high. 

"Sir, I hope you understand the situation. It is not easy to lose someone we love forever. Do not add to the heart wound that is still gaping wide. I hope you understand my words, Sir. I know that you're a human who has if humanity." Zul is brave this time. The sense of not being able to see Melinda like that makes Zul dare to take risks. Although it must be dismissed as the right hand of Wijaya though. 

Vijaya eventually shut up and let Theo take Melinda to the room. Afterwards, Theo calls the doctor to check on Melinda and make sure there is nothing dangerous in Melinda's body. The man exhaled a sigh of relief when the doctor said there was no serious illness. Only severe stress was being experienced by the woman. 

"Mel, you have to eat to get your strength back." Theo spoke softly as he rubbed Melinda's cheeks filled with tear marks. 

"Atha .. I miss you, son." Melinda mumbled softly. However, being able to make Theo's heart feel sad and also feel destroyed. 

With a thump, Theo hugged the woman very tightly. I cry feeling a deep heartache. 

"Patience, Mel. Every human being will feel loss. Atha must have been happy there. You may cry now, but after this you must promise to rise again" said Theo softly. Hugs on the woman. 

Wijaya who saw it immediately turned his face. Seeing the scene made his heart touched and could feel as dear as what Theo was to the woman. Batin Wijaya was raging violently. It was as if fighting saw the two people who were hugging. 

"Hadstool is my life. I better catch up with Atha. There's no reason for me to stay in this cruel world." Melinda. Want to escape from Theo's embrace. However, Theo actually tightened his embrace. "Take me off, sir!" 

Theo still hugged Melinda very strongly even though the woman kept hitting her chest. All Theo wanted was for Melinda to feel calm.

"Cry as much as you, Mel. Cry until your heart is relieved. I'm not gonna let go of this hug." 

Finally, Melinda cried loudly in Theo's arms. The woman continued to mention her son's name tirelessly. Nearly half an hour later, Melinda fell asleep from exhaustion. 

Theo got up and intended to clean up. He was upset that Vijaya and Zul were still in the room. 

"Go from here. Take it easy I will return all your possessions except this house. I bought this house I built from my savings." Theo spoke flatly. His words were very different no longer as polite as usual. 

Vijaya is inflamed, but Zul tries to calm the man down and takes him away from there. However, Vijaya still refused. 

"Get out of my house in ten. If you're going to fire me as a kid, fire it! I also would not have a father who has no heart at all!" 

Wijaya almost slaps Theo, but his hand just floats in the air. "You!" 

"Slap away! I'm not scared! Just so you know, I've been feeling sick from being abandoned by my own mother and I don't want to lose the woman I love for the umpteenth time" Theo said defiantly. 

Wijaya was glued at that time as well.
