CURTAINS OF THE PAST

ABOUT THE CAMELLIA HORIZON

Time continued to roll, whether or not how long Toni lay in a coma in the room smelling of the drugs. It is the Iffah who always counts every second, minute, hour, day, week and month.

He always comes in whenever the clock is there. He never went to see his beloved husband.

That morning Iffah came with a photo in her hand. Every time he walked into the room, he would lean against the outside wall. He would prepare his sweetest smile for Toni. Not only that, even he smeared a bit of powder on his face that looked pale.

“Assalamu,alaikum..Morning my handsome husband..” Say it with a big smile while landing a kiss on Toni's forehead.

“You know? Today I will tell you one thing that will make you happy.” Iffah smiled back. But who knew his heart was devastated at that moment. Talking to someone he loves very much, but that person is not able to hear the conversation.

“You're curious, aren't you? If yes, guess first.” The ink is as if talking to someone who can answer every word.

“Today I'll bring news from Milka. Yes, Milkanya you, and now also be Milkanya me right?

He sends his greetings to you dear.” Excited Iffah whispered in Antoni's ear with a tone and expression that was so tempting.

“But you take it easy, we all told you that you were very busy. So you can't meet him. He misses you so much, even several times he nagged me to bring his papa there to meet him.” Iffah said so freely conveying a message from Milka.

“Oh yes, one more. Kamelia and Kemil were born into the world yesterday. I can't come, because I don't want to leave you here alone. I'll go there later, later if you're with me. Therefore, you quickly wake up.. “ Iffah sing her lips.

“Because you can't get me to visit the horizon, so we just made a video call last night. And Milka was also quite calm as it seemed with the presence of Cakra, her younger brother who

adorable it.” Iffah took a breath and threw it again violently.

“We were first by Kamelia, she had given her son by the name Cakrawala. Though, you also like horizon.” Cursed him while stroking Toni's arm which he held up in front of his face when

“Oh yes, last night Kamelia sent me a photo of Cakra. I was able to print. You wanna see? If you want, open his eyes. Don't sleep on, why the hell?” Grouse Iffah with spoiled.

“Hmmmm, yes. I'll see it.” Iffah seemed to give up. Iffah showed the photo she brought earlier in front of Toni who still had not opened her eyes at that time.

“He's handsome, isn't he? His eyes look the same as yours, squinty. Hehe.. I will have a chance to see a photo of your mother while in the village. Your mama's eyes are narrow, the same as Om Idris's. The eyes of Kemil, too, of course. But he also has a chin, just like Kamel. His skin is white, his hair is thick, his eyebrows are also, his eyelashes are very pliable.. Hmmm gemeees. Ah, I can't wait to pinch her cheeks.. Quickly wake up yes, I mohoon.” Although she spoke with a smile, her tears escaped

just like that.

“You know? There are a lot of things right now if you ask me how much.” Iffah put her head on Toni's arm.

“Merinduced. Missing you is something I feel a lot right now. Hurry back.. I'm almost killed miss this.” Pinta Iffah with a voice that started hoarse.

“Ya, already. I'm afraid that if you don't miss me for a long time. I'll just go home, yeah.” Iffah kissed Toni's forehead and moved without looking back. And that's the heavy palling she did as she left her husband lying weakly on top of the little bed of space from the size of the hospital.

And every time he closed the door of the room again, he would lean back against the same wall before he entered. And there he will cry out, expressing the burden he held inside.
