Black Heaven

To the Hospital,

A white Avanza was speeding away under the hot sun. The car that Aji was driving managed to split the density of traffic in the Ciputat area. Aji's mind becomes more chaotic after meeting with Gatot and Tommy. The entire sentence that Mr. Gatot said before leaving the cafe, managed to make Aji feel guilty to Intan.

"If you blame Intan on this, it means you blame God, because everything that happens in your life is God's destiny."

"I know you're disappointed, but I don't accept that my adopted son was judged for a mistake he never committed!"

Aji squeezes the steering wheel of her car because she can't imagine what's really going on. Mr. Gatot did not want to explain what really happened to Intan. It made Aji's head become dizzy.

"What's really going on? then who is the house referred to by Mr Gatot?" Aji monologue.

"I have to see Intan, I have to make sure what's really going on" Aji muttered as he steered his car towards the hospital Tommy had mentioned.

Aji's car stopped in the hospital parking lot after spending twenty minutes. He got out of his car and swung towards the reception desk in the hospital lobby.

"Excuse me, I want to ask— where is the hospital room of a patient named Intan Rahma Ayunda?" aji asked a nurse who was on guard.

"Jasmine room number 12, sir," said the nurse after looking for data Intan on his computer, "please you enter through the door, then straight just keep turning left, then straight, the entrance of the jasmine room is near the garden huh, sir." the nurse explained where the room was looking for by Aji.

"Thank you" said Aji before passing in front of the nurse.

Meanwhile, Kinar was pacing in front of the door of Intan's room. He is restless at the thought of Papah and Kakanya never returning, he is afraid that Tommy will do violence to Aji.

"Duh! why are they flailing back!" muttered Kinar with a fretful look on his face.

"Hopefully they managed to bring Aji here, I can see the state of Intan." Kinar looked at Intan who was sleeping on his bed.

Intan has not fully recovered, sometimes he still vomits, the effect of rising stomach acid. Of course, because excessive alcohol is what makes the condition as it is today.

The happy sparkle had disappeared from the look of his eyes. Now the look in his eyes only shows the fragility that is in him. His heart has withered because his love has gone away, the hope of becoming Ummi's daughter-in-law Sarah has been washed away by tears that flow.

Kinar did not complain in the least despite having to take care of Intan these few days. His mind was a little calm because Bu Leni was still in Serang to this day, he was still waiting for the mother who was sick.

Tok ... tok ....

Kinar gasped when he heard the door beside him on tap from outside. He opened the door to see who was coming. There was a twinkle of happiness that emanated from the look in his eyes when he saw the presence of Aji there.

"Please come in, Bang!" Kinar gives Aji a way to get the man in.

"Thank you" Aji said before entering the room.

Aji was standing at the side of the bed, where Intan was lying weak, his face was pale and a little thin. Aji felt guilty when she saw the face without make-up that was sleeping.

"Has Intan had lunch?" aji asked as she turned her eyes to Kinar.

"Already, Bang. Three spoons, he can't eat too much" said Kinar.

"Hay," said Aji while looking at Intan.

At first glance Intan looked into those shady eyes that always made her flutter, but shortly after, she turned her gaze the other way, there was no sweet smile to welcome Aji like she always did.

"Kinar .. For now I don't want to see anyone, please don't let anyone into this room except Papah and Bang Tommy." Intan changed his position. He tilted his body and turned his back to Aji who was still at the side of his bed.

Aji was stunned after seeing Intan's response after seeing her presence. Honestly, Aji was disappointed after Intan ignored his presence. Aji just wanted to apologize for all the hurtful words that came out of her lips a few days ago.

"I came here to talk to you, Tan. I want to apologize for hurting your heart" Aji said, staring at Intan's back.

"Kinar .. I want to rest, I don't want to be disturbed!" intan said with the position of the body that does not change.

Finally Kinar gave Aji a code, so that the man immediately came out of the room. Kinar escorted Aji out of the room, "if you still want to see Intan, you can see from here," Kinar walked to the glass window near the door.

"Do you know anything about Intan?" aji asked while looking at Kinar.

Kinar turned his gaze in the other direction, he could not bear to look at the shady eyes that he thought were scary, "Although I know, I don't want to say anything before Intan gives permission," kinar said while turning his gaze to the window to see the state of Intan.

"Look, she's crying again! that's what he's been doing these few days" Kinar said after seeing Intan's shaky shoulders.

After Aji and Kinar, Intan was intrigued by having to see the face of the man who haunted his mind these days. The sense of tightness that had faded is now back present, making Intan again remember his bitter past.

There was nothing else Intan could do but spill all his wounds in tears. Drinking alcohol he could not do anymore because his body was not okay. His condition has not fully recovered.

Kinar returned to the room after conversing with Aji. He was also frustrated to see the current state of Intan, he was confused to have to do especially to restore the sweet smile of his best friend.

"Tan, already dong—don't cry still yes," said Kinar while sitting on a bed Intan.

"You should tell him, let him know what's really going on, too" said Kinar, staring at Intan's body, which was no longer shaking.

Intan was silent, he didn't know what to do. Never mind to talk, just look at Aji it feels like he can't. The tears kept dripping if the two black beads looked at Aji's shady eyes.

"Why is he coming again, Kin? I still feel pain when I remember everything he said. It feels like he is not the Aji I used to know" Intan said in a trembling voice.
