"Sir, let me hug my son. Just for a moment" Dee said, pleading with police.

The police just nodded. Dee walked towards Al who was standing next to her husband. Then Dee squatted to align her height with Al.

"Mother dear alike, Al. Al don't be naughty, yes, have to obey Abi. Umi just went for a second. Don't make Abi tired. Prayer should be more diligent. When you sleep, do not forget to read your prayer first. Always say bismillah, if you want to do something. Al must be diligent in eating to be healthy and more powerful. If Al miss Umi, Al can see the stars of the night, because Umi is the star in Al's life. Al-" Dee's speech was interrupted because he could no longer speak. His voice was already shaking withstanding the cries so as not to add to his son's worries.

All who watched stared at Dee and Al. But reality says something else.

The tiny hand of Al stretched out tightly to his Uminya body. It was very desirable for Dee to return his child's embrace, but his hands were already handcuffed.

"Al will always remember Umi's advice, but umi can not live Al. Al promise ain't gonna be naughty again. Al will nulut all the words of Umi. Umi can't be a bully," cried Al broke into Dee's arms.

"Sorry Mom, we have to leave immediately" police warned Dee.

Hearing the Police's words, Al tightened his circle of hands to Dee's body. Signifying that, no one can take Uminya away.

"Don't bring Umi Al, Mr. Police. Umi is not a bad olang. Al who's sly naughty with Umi, hikss. The police just take Al. Umi Al is not a bad oliks, hiks,hikss" said Al with Isak crying.

"Abiii, hiks, tell the police sir, that Umi ain't naughty. Umi always nulut what Abi said. Umi is not naughty Abii, hiks, hiks," said Al mengiba hope someone protects Uminya.

"Uncle Kevin, Aunty Naina, help Umi Al. Umi's hand must hurt in this iron uncle, onty," continued Al turned to look at his two Abinya friends by showing Dee's handcuffed hands.

Kevin, unable to see Al, chose to turn his back to avoid eye contact with the boy.

Seeing everyone who was silent, Al let go of his embrace to Dee, and turned to his family one by one.

"Grandfather, let's help Umi, grandpa. Umi's hand must have hurt" said Al sobbing Wijaya's hand asking for help. "Oma, Opa, let's tell Mr. Police that Umi is not naughty. Umi is not a bad guy, hiks," said Al turned to Dee's parents. Anyone who sees the actions of this 3-year-old child will be filled, he struggles to defend Uminya. But anger covered the hearts of all his family.

As if not desperate, Al again roared to Abinya, begging Uminya not to be taken by the Police. Ibra just kept quiet to let Al cry. Not getting any reply from Ibra, Al again hugged Dee while crying sobbing pleading for Uminya not to leave.

Dee who was not strong saw and heard the cry of her son, immediately stood up and walked with the police out of the hospital.

"Umi can't go, Mr. Police don't take Umi. Umi is not an evil oleang," Al's voice continues to be heard calling Dee not to leave. Al cried sobbing until he coughed and vomited. His saliva had already seeped out his mouth to his chin because of the strength of crying.

Dee continued to follow the police without looking back. Not able to see the state of his son. Why doesn't anyone believe him? He's not a killer. Even the husband he always made the source of his life did not believe in him at all.

Dee was already nowhere to be seen in the hallway of the ICU room, but Al did not stop crying. He kept calling Uminya. Wish Uminya would come back and hug him.

Wijaya and Dee's parents couldn't do much. While Ibra and Kevin tried to calm Al who continued to cry screaming in Naina's arms. Not seeing any signs of Al stopping her crying, Naina whispered something into Al's ear. I don't know what he whispered, slowly Al's crying began to subside, and left a small stuffing that came out of his mouth.

Since that incident no one has known and visited Dee's whereabouts at the police station. What happened to him seemed insignificant to his family. He seems forgotten. Ms. Raina was declared in a coma because there was no sign of any development after the operation. Both at home and in the office, Ibra forbade everyone to talk about his wife.

*Flashback Off

I don't feel her tears dripping. Given how heartbreaking it must have happened in his family. His hunger was gone because he was full of all his thoughts. Ibra finally decided to go back to the room.

Arriving at the room, Ibra sees Dee sleeping with a rolled up blanket. Seeing that Ibra smiled, because every sleep his wife is always making the mattress mess unless he sleeps when hugged Ibra. Dee will sleep quietly. There was a longing in Ibra's heart to be with Dee.

Ibra recalled that since Dee's return from prison, she had always slept in a covered dress. Not as usual before he went to jail. Before going to jail, Dee would sleep in a thin nightgown. Not wanting to take a dizzy, Ibra chose to re-dilate herself. Staring at the ceiling of the room thought of everything that his family had gone through.

Ibra turned to face Dee. His eyes traced every curve of Dee's face. In his little heart, Ibra misses his wife very much. But his disappointment did not compensate for the love he had for his wife. The misunderstanding blinded Ibra, so that she did nothing and trusted all the evidence that showed that Dee was guilty in the incident a year ago.

"Why is reality not to our liking? If not, maybe right now we will be very happy. But why did you destroy everything? I love you so much. But sorry, my heart is currently in a state of disarray, shapeless, and many wounds there. The disappointment you gave ruined everything. Believe me, all the harsh words I say come out without my heart's permission," Ibra softly looked at Dee's face.

Long looking at his wife, drowsiness slowly came and brought Ibra into the world of his dreams.
