Bima's Second Wife

chapter 147

Bima decided to take Dena out of the country. Although the doctor there had stated the harsh reality for Dena but Bima did not give up. Liver cancer in Dena is already advanced stage and the cancer has spread to other organs. It is less likely that Dena will survive, only drugs and chemotherapy will prolong Dena's life, with Dena's great spirit.

"Mas, don't cry dong. I'm strong too, you don't!" dena with her smile. Bima realized that he was wrong, he should be able to strengthen Dena, not even make Dena sad because he saw her cry.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't a good husband all along." Dena reached out her hand touching Bima's jaw and pulled Bima's face down until they looked at each other. Dena linked her forehead to Bima's forehead.

"I'm sorry mas, will not be able to keep my promise to live forever with you." they were silent for a while, then Dena smiled amusedly to make Bima distanced her face.

"Why?"

"Remember that time? Second time we met?" Bima laughed a little. Yep. He remembers everything when he met Dena.

Short story. (Wouldn't want length, many emotions turned out 😅😅 😅)

At that time Bima helped a girl when she wanted to be harassed by her ex-boyfriend. And one year after that they were reunited in a matchmaking event by their parents who were friends with each other.

Funny thing is they both escaped from the matchmaking event without knowing each other.

When he reached the cafe where the meeting Dena reasoned to go to the toilet and ran away. Dena hid in Bima's car, without knowing whose car it was. When Bima got into his car Bima was surprised to find an intruder in the back seat.

"Sttts. Don't make any noise to get caught!" pinta Dena who is still hiding because her mom and dad are looking for her, right next to Bima's car.

And they ended up going all day. And laugh at each other because they have the same fate. They still don't know that they're going to be paired with each other.

The afternoon when Bima drove Dena home and found a tantrum from the mother. Then the mother fell silent and smiled to see Bima who had just come out of the car.

Dena who feels Bima is her superhero because it saved her first. Since then Dena has always admired the figure of Bima even though she does not know the name or anything about Bima. Only limited to his memory with a smile on Bima's shady face.

"If I had known you would be in a match, I wouldn't have run away." Dena laughed gigglingly at her husband who was also chuckling. It was how stupid his face was at that moment.

Lily stared at the empty bed that had been left behind. It has been a long time since Bima went abroad for the treatment of Dena. While the company was taken over by Adi Mahendra, the father-in-law.

Longing is certainly Lily feel after all Bima is the person she loves besides Bimbim who is not yet clear where she is.

Only once in a while Bima's phone was definitely due to Dena's coercion. Because Lily thought it was impossible for Bima to take the initiative to call her first.

Dena's situation is better now, seen from every video call they do Dena's face is more radiant. Lily felt grateful and happy because of that.

The sky is adorning this afternoon. It appeared that some people in all-black clothes were still standing in front of the mound of land that was clearly still new with the colorful petals of flowers on it. The vast burial ground looked empty, leaving only those who were still lamenting the fate of the soul that had just left its body.

'That's why Bima loves Dena. Of course because only he who is Bima mas love!' lily's monologue was accompanied by a warm melt on her cheek. Adit embraces Lily's shoulder giving her strength.

Bima stared at the mound of red earth before her, tears were no longer dripping from her eyes, but her wounded heart, she said, and empty to see the figure that had been a reinforcement in his life is now buried in the ground. Lonely for Dena down there, and for Bima whose heart had been broken long ago.

Bima no longer knows if after Dena's departure he can live his life well. How could he have gone through his toughest days if his heart-boosters had even gone before him.

Blank. Hollowly. Fragile. And want to follow in the footsteps of Dena alone it feels.

Bima's body collapsed and fell right on the red ground, making some people panic and bring Bima into the car. Bima has been standing there for too long, maratapi fate of the wife who now will not feel pain anymore.

Ratih and Adi decided to bring Bima to his residence, the house of his mother and papa at least will not make Bima remember things about Dena for a while. Lily followed the advice of her mother-in-law. Bima would be better surrounded by people who love him. Adit and Roman help bring Bima up to the car and drive her home.

Now there are four people standing there. It was still in the cemetery, with a middle-aged woman who was crying out in a wheelchair, as her body was limp and could not stand up straight because of the child's departure. Refused to be brought home, and now he's here to take the baby away.

Right beside him stood a man with a gallant posture even though he was now over fifty years old. Just as bad as the wife who must give up the only center of affection and heir to the throne in her family.

Behind them stood two people from two different generations. Rian and the grandmother who saw the beautiful scenery and pity of the two people in front of him.

"Why reward, our son. hiks..." Ana William, the mother of Dena, weeps and mourns the fate of the boy who went before her when Dena was young, but no one can guess, right?

Ana continued to cry with occasional patting of her claustrophobic chest. The husband can only hold tightly to his wife's hand which is getting smaller because it is too late in grief, considering the child who covers his illness makes them feel like a bad parent.

"What's wrong we reward? Den.. Dena.." isak Ana who kept crying with tears that never stopped flowing from there. "What's our fault that Dena's gone faster?"

Always the same in question makes Rian a little furious with the question of the mother who he thinks does not need to be questioned again. It was clear according to him. Don't remember that woman that used to be...

"Do you not understand. Miss Ana Kamila Sasmitha?" the voice made Ana and her husband look back.

"You...who?!" with the rest of her strength Ana asks, because the driver of the child knows her full name before marrying the man standing next to her. No one knows. That name was a secret in his past.

"Just the one you never expected, madam." Then without permission Rian passed from there, but his steps came to a halt as the grandmother held her arm.

Ana and her husband don't understand all this.

"He's Adrian, Ana! The child you left behind!"

Like a bolt of lightning striking on a clear day, the mother's statement made Ana instantly speechless, her eyes blankly staring at the dashing young man before her. Until then he did not know what happened again, because as he remembered the husband kept calling him until he did not hear the voice again. All dark. Ana was unconscious.
