Memories of the Past

Carol is now staring at the lockscreen on her phone with her nanorobot. A wedding photo that looks full of happiness. The smiles clearly visible on the faces of the two brides expressed their happiness and gratitude for the marriage they are now living. The story of seven years of love as if not in vain for them because they are finally at the top of it.

“I miss you wife,” Carol said so gently.

His gaze now still continues to be directed at the photo on his cellphone, a photo that is a photo of his marriage with Erlinda, the woman he so loved.

His memory now returns to the events of sixteen years ago. Yes, sixteen years have passed but the pain is still not treated. His love is still so great for the woman who used to always accompany him.

At that time Carol was driving Dhisi to check on the Goddess. Carol initially refuses to escort Dhisi and asks his subordinates to escort them. But Erlinda instead forced her to come along because after all the Goddess is Carol's child.

“Darling, I nemenin you aja yes,” pinta Carol on Erlinda who is now in their room while preparing the need to give birth to her prediction one more week.

“No, now you are mending their anther before Dewi gets worse. Dewi is still small, she needs her papa,” said Erlinda so patiently while stroking her husband's head. Though the condition of the Goddess has now continued to cry to feel her pain, but Carol is still in their room and sulk like a child.

“Akh shit. I'm really going to divorce her in a minute,” annoyed Carol who then went straight from there. Erlinda who heard it only breathed her rough while shaking her head at her husband's behavior.

At that time Carol finally really [go to take the Goddess but her mind continues to be on her beloved wife at home. Carol's really not calm. Until he was shocked by a phone call from his domestic assistant if Dhisi was going to give birth but the woman instead fell unconscious when taken to the hospital.

Regardless of anything else, Carol who was in the doctor's room to check on the Goddess immediately went and waited in front of the hospital.

A car he knew was seen entering the hospital courtyard. In a hurry Carol approached him and he could see the wife he loved was unconscious. In a hurry Carol carried Erlinda, the doctors and sisters were already preparing and carrying a gurney for her.

“Defend dear, I beg you to hold on for our child,” Carol said with her tears that had unconsciously dripped. Her hand gripped Erlinda's hand so tightly while also pushing it right towards the operating room. Because Erlinda who had been unconscious would not want to end up in surgery.

“Don't stay with me baby, I can't take care of our own child, I need you. So I beg you to stay,” Carol said with her tears that never stop flowing.

he was really not strong to see the wife he loved so much now lying unconscious. He was so afraid that he would lose his wife.

When Erlinda began to incarnate her opration, Carol now sits in front of the operating room with her gaze so sad and her body so limp she is so afraid that the woman she loves so much leaves her.

Before long their parents came with his worried gaze. They all look so riled up. Adam immediately walked up to Carol and then hit the man so hard that everyone there was screaming because of him.

“Look, you can't even look after your wife. How could you think of marrying again? If anything happens to my children and grandchildren, I won't forgive you,” lamented Adam who Carol doesn't care about at all. His heart is now so broken. Not only adam, even he himself will not forgive himself if something happens to his wife and child.

The operation went on for a long time. Carol now looks so messy. After an operation that took so long. Some doctors came out with their faces stiff.

“Congratulations sir, your child was born healthy and female. But we also say condolences as well as apologizing as much as he could not to save your wife,” Doctor said it was like a knife that now pierced his heart.

It was destroyed, it felt like it was destroyed. The woman he loved so much is now gone, leaving him for long. With his weak steps and his gaze that looked so painful. Carol walked over to his now faithful wife, closing her eyes. It looks so peaceful in his sleep. Without knowing if Carol is now so destroyed, her world seems to collapse. Half his soul went with the woman he loved so much.

“You left me and our son?” carol asked with a look of disbelief at Erlinda who was now so loyal to close her eyes.

“So our son needs you dear. Our son needs his Mommy,” cried Carol with her cry that sounded so tight right. Her tears just kept coming down without her controlling it.

Carol walked over to the baby who was now soundly asleep. Then carry her and put her on Erlinda's chest. She took the woman's hand to hug her son. Unexpectedly Erlinda let out her tears but still there was no sign of life there.

“How can I take care of our child without you dear? I don't want to, I don't want to take care of him. You must be bamngun or our son will grow up alone without Mommy and his Daddy because I do not want to take care of him alone,” cried Carol lamented her fate. So many signs that now fill his brain but he knows all that is just an assumption that cannot be realized. His mind now continued to blame Dhisi as well as his son.

“Tell your mommy to wake up son. Daddy wouldn't take care of you if you couldn't get your Mommy up,” Carol said, obviously just a bluff. But the woman did not want to open her eyes.

The family who saw it all just cried. They're definitely no less devastated than Carol. Especially when they see their grandchildren who have now lost their mothers. Their granddaughter is so beautiful.

But fate seems so evil on him to take his mother. During that time Carol never allowed anyone to touch her child. Only her mother-in-law was allowed to touch her child.

Carol takes good care of her own son. But in the end Dhisi still trying to let Carol let him take care of Queena and convince Carol if she will be a good mother to Queena and love Queena like her own child.

With various considerations, Carol finally agreed to it even though she did not fully believe in Dhisi.

The soft sweep on Carol's shoulders spread Carol's daydreams, until she found her son now staring at her father who was crying.

“Dad, why cry?” queena asked with a sad look at her father. Carol immediately wiped her tears while shaking her head.

“Just remember your mommy,” said Carol with a smile that makes Queena directly hug her father. Until they finally embrace each other to give strength to each other.

Queena knew it must have been so hard for her father to accept this. Evident by how much his father hated Dhisi. Now Queena understands why her parents are unlike any other couple in general, and why her father treats her and the Goddess differently.
