Bringing Our Differences together
The beginning of rejection
Ali is seen still asleep with an oxygen hose in his nose. When handling the doctor, Ali had shortness of breath so that the doctor installed a breathing apparatus.
Tone stood beside Ali with tears of regret flowing down his cheeks, he held Ali's hand tightly. “Ali wake. Sorry me. Ali doesn't want to see you like this. It's all because of my fault for not believing in our love. Sorry me.”
Kenzo patted Nada on the back, trying to give her strength. “She just fell asleep she's just tired, soon she'll wake up.”
Ali's face was agitated, his forehead wrinkled. Nada tells Kenzo to look for a doctor to check on Ali. Shortly after, Ali opened his eyes slowly. Ali watched her surroundings trying to recognize what had happened, Ali smiled as she saw Nada by her side.
Smiling tone placed his hand on Ali's cheek, he wanted to ascertain how the state of the person he loved so much was at the moment. “Darling, are you awake? How are you doing? Does anyone hurt?”
Ali smiled happily, clasping Nada's fingers. “I'm fine. Just a little dizzy.”
Tone shed tears of regret, “Sorry me yes, because of me you admitted to scary things like this. It's all my fault.”
Ali stroking hair Tone, “Hey darling. It's not your fault. You have done nothing wrong to me. I wanted to prove my love to you but unfortunately I failed. I can't fight my trauma, I'm sorry. I can't prove my love to you.”
Ali rubbed Tone tears, “You do not cry, I am also sad if you cry gini. I can't prove my love to you, but you won't leave me, right? What if someone else could prove my love to you?”
Tone put his index finger on Ali's lips, “You don't need any proof of me anymore. I already know how you really feel about me through this incident. And you know not just now your friends have told me everything.”
“What story are they?”
Smiling tone, “Many things about you that they tell me..”
“What's the story? Good or bad? Not entirely their story is true about me to be trusted dear. If you want to know the story about me, you better ask me alone.”
Smiling tone, “One of the stories they tell is a high-class playboy love trip anchored to a woman like me.”
Ali smiled shyly, “If that's the ugly side I dong. Later if I am healthy, I will make the same calculation with them.”
Tone pinched Ali's cheek, “You're not healed yet also have thought to bales people, how the hell my love is.”
Ali grimaced in pain, “Thank you baby, you want to go back to me. I promise, I will never make you sad again.”
“You don't need to promise me anything more. Everything has been more than enough, yesterday you have proven everything.”
“I was yesterday a week without you, I was like a zombie you know? I'm not concerned about anything. I tried calling many times but you didn't pick up. I'm confused what else to do.” Ali said with a sad face.
“You think yesterday was my time without you, can I be all right? Don't know. I also don't think about work, my job is fail all. Until my boss negur me.”
“Means we need each other and will never be separated.. Thanks for giving me a chance.”
Smiling tone then came hugging Ali. Not long after Rezky went inside with Ali's parents. Nada was confused to see Ali's parents, as she had never met them at all. Ali's bright cheerful face initially turned cloudy.
Rezky introduces Nada to Ali's parents. Tone of acquaintance and shake hands with them. Ali's mother came to Ali.
“Nak, how are you? Do we need to move better Hospital of this Hospital?”
Ali looks indifferent to the whereabouts of his parents. “Mama, Papa why come here? Still aware of having children? Isn't your job much more important than your own?”
“What are you talking about, son? We love you, so papa and mama try to find a lot of money for your needs.” Mother said with tears.
Dad hugs mom, “Till whenever you're our son. You're a big boy, don't be a kid. Don't you get used to being alone?”
Tone grasping Ali's fingers, Nada tried to resuscitate him if Ali's speech had gone too far. Ali then regained his senses, he turned to where Nada was sitting on his right side. “Ali hope mom and dad get out of this room. Ali needs time to be alone.”
Rezky feels guilty for contacting Ali's parents. Rezky tried to take Daddy and Ali's mom out of Ali's nursery for a moment.
Tone rose from his seat, rubbing Ali's forehead. “They're your parents?”
Ali nodded her head, “But they are not like family to me. They're just a running bank that only gives money for my needs. They usually only give money but they don't know how much I need guidance from them. Because of them also I became a child who thirsts for parental affection and seeks affection for others. That's why I'm a playboy like this.”
“You never said all the uneg-uneg in your heart to them?”
Ali glanced at Nada, “Indeed never been frontally like this but they should be able to understand his son's will.”
Small smiling tone, “Not all things can be known by your parents. They are not human beings who understand everything in our hearts. I think it's just a communication miss and this relationship can still be repaired. Now try to talk carefully and express all the feelings in each heart. I believe everything can still be fixed kok.”
Ali paused for a moment, thinking of all the words that Nada had just spoken.
Nada continued his speech again, “I think also this depends on your perspective as well anyway. The more you are upset about something, you cannot think clearly about the positive things that are in it. Trus that is not the reason you become a playboy anyway according to me.”
“According to you like that?”
“Iya I think it is like that. And I think my girlfriend is an adult. My cute girlfriend can decide everything is best for her especially for her family wisely.”
A note to leave the room for a moment. Tone deliberately allowed Ali time to think. When Nada exited Ali's room, Nada found Ali's parents still in front of Ali's nursery and saw Mama Ali crying there. Nada approached Mama Ali to provide support.
“Tante why? Aunty kok nangis?”
“Nak.. Aunt didn't think Ali could be angry like that to us.” Mama Ali rubbed her eyes.
Tone hugging mama Ali, “Tante is-anya, how can a child be angry with his aunt's parents? It's all just a misunderstanding. Because you both do not know the contents of each other's hearts. Try if you share each other's hearts, I think everything will feel easier. Ali is very fond of om and aunt. She often told stories of the past when she was a child.”
Mama looked at Nada with a hopeful look, “Is that all true, Nada?”
“Iya aunt. He loved and respected om and aunt. Even Ali once told me that he wanted to be like his father. A wise father and can be a role model for his family.”
“What Ali can forgive aunt and Om?”
Wide smiling tones, “Definitely aunty. Ali is a good boy. He's not a vengeful. And I think aunty and om know more about Ali's true character than I do.”
Papa Ali patted Nada on the back, “Thank you for your advice to us. We should have done it a long time ago so that this misunderstanding was quickly completed.”
“Sama-sama, aunt. I'm glad Ali is happy. Aunt and aunt are happy too. But sorry aunt, if I speak too deeply into your family affairs. I didn't mean it that way.”
“Tante think Ali is not wrong to choose a woman like you next to him.” Mama glanced at papa Ali.
Papa smiled, “Sure Ali will choose the right woman, the wise one like you. Om proud to you.”
“I still lack a lot Om - aunt. I still have a lot to learn about life. I'd be nice if I could help Om and Auntie. Aunt – Om log in now. Ali I'd like to chat with Om and Auntie.”
Mama and Papa Ali went back inside Ali's hospital room. Tone left them, giving time for them to express all the contents of the heart that had been buried deep in their hearts.
