The next morning, in the hospital.
Geo woke up early. His head was still slightly dizzy with the scent of the hospital. He looked, looking to his left.
Syakila's still asleep. Is Syakila still asleep, or unconscious since she left the operating room last night?
He also saw Sardine. The man still looks the same as Syakila, still sleeping. Geo saw Beni and Anton sleeping on a long bench, inside the room. They both still sleep.
Geo looked at the infusion bottle hanging on the pole, beside him. There was only an infusion bottle hanging there, and there was still a little more. While the bottle was a bag of blood, it was no longer visible on the hanger. The needle was no longer in his hand.
Apparently, the doctors and nurses take very good care of the patients. Or is it because he is the owner of the hospital, so he is very awake in treatment?
”Beni!” call Geo, his voice is very slow. So Anton doesn't wake up.
”Beni!” once again Geo calls Beni, waking Beni up from her sleep.
Beni and Anton who vaguely heard someone calling Beni's name, they both blinked their eyes.
”Beni!”
Beni and Anton both heard clearly, Geo's voice calling out to Beni. They were both shocked and woke up. Beni rushed over to Geo. While Anton, he sits well in the long chair.
”Uncle, sorry, my voice has awakened Uncle.” Geo said. He was not happy when he saw Anton also woke up.
”It's okay. Anyway it's morning, it's time to wake up.” said Anton. He saw Syakila and Sardin still sleeping.
”Geo, is there anything you need?” ask Beni.
”Hum, I want to drink. But, warm water.” replied Geo.
”Oh, ok! I'll get you.” Beni walks into the dispenser and opens the lower door of the dispenser and picks up the glass. Beni filled the glass with warm water, then brought it to Geo. ”This, take!”
Geo took the glass from Beni's hand and drank the water until it ran out. He gave Beni an empty glass. Beni took it and put it back in its place. And he sat back in the chair.
”Did the doctor come here?” ask Anton, to Geo. But, his eyes were on Syakila and Sardin.
”But! Let's just wait. Maybe, soon the doctor will come.” replied Geo, his view also leads to Syakila and Sardin.
”Uncle, if Uncle wants to go home, go home. Sardin and Syakila, let me and Geo pay attention. Uncle does not need to worry about the two of them.” said Beni.
”Thank you! But, I want to hear for myself an explanation from health development doctors Syakila and Sardin, then I can go home quietly.” Anton said.
Beni and Geo fell silent. They both knew very well how much Anton was worried about Syakila and Sardin. Sardin is the niece and Syakila is the son of his best friend, Halim and Sarmi.
Tok tok! ”Excuse me! Does my arrival interfere with your free time?” ask the doctor from the door of the room.
”Oh, no, Doctor! Come, comein!” geo, Beni and Anton.
The doctor entered the room. Behind the doctor, there was a nurse who followed by carrying a tray containing medicine and bandages. The doctor walked to Geo's bed.
”Check Syakila and Sardin first, just check me.” Geo's word.
”Oh! Alright!” according to the doctor, he continued his steps to Syakila's bed. He began to check on Syakila's condition.
”Why hasn't he woken up yet, Doc? Same with Sardin, he had not been conscious since he left the operating room. What is the cause? Are they both comatose?” ask Geo.
The doctor still did not answer. He still predicts Syakila from his heartbeat, heart beat, pulse, breath, and eyes.
Finished checking Syakila even the doctor has not given his response. He switched to checking on Sardine.
”Syakila and Sardine conditions, physically improved. They should both have been conscious. But, this was more towards the mental of the two of them. It seemed, the two of them had no intention of regaining consciousness. There are things that prevent the two of them from regaining consciousness.” explained the doctor.
”What? How could such a thing happen Doctor?” Anton, Beni, and Geo both asked. The faces of the three of them looked sad.
”Yes, this also often happens to patients who are desperate. Most patients like this are triggered by things that may be painful. Perhaps, the person they most want in their life is trapping them both in nature. Fearfully, if the two of them were not immediately aware, the pulse, heart rate would gradually weaken and they would continue to fall asleep. Forever.” the doctor said.
Geo, Anton and Beni are shocked. Slept during the dive..isn't that the same thing as dying?
If so..did the two of them meet together in dreamland? They are happy there and do not want to end their happiness, so they do not want to return to this world? Because in this world, Syakila is my wife and Sardin.
His face looked sad looking at Syakila and Sardin. It is also explained from the eyes and breath.
The love between them is huge. I really envy their love. Especially, I am very envious of Sardin. He got a sincere love from Syakila. In comparison to me, Sardin is nothing. Is there really no love in your heart for me? Does living with me leave you shackled? geo's mind again. He sighed again.
”So, we have to how, Doc?” ask Anton.
”Is there any other way to make him come back to his senses?” ask Geo.
”Try to get the patient to talk. Deep in his subconscious, surely they will both hear your call and come back to their senses.” proposed the doctor. The doctor walked over to Geo.
The doctor saw that the infusion bottle hanging beside Geo had run out. He removed the infusion needle from Geo's hand. He also checked Geo's condition.
”Your condition is much better. There's nothing to worry about anymore. Just take care of the gunshot wounds on your shoulders and thighs. I will replace your wound bandage first.” said the doctor.
”Hum!” sahut Geo's.
The doctor opened the old bandage in Geo's wound. He cleaned the wound and gave the medicine, then, he re-wrapped it with bandages. ”It's done.” he said.
He went back to Syakila. Caring for the wounds on Syakila's body. After finishing giving the medicine and bandaging it back, the doctor also gave the ointment medicine for bruises that were on Sardin's body.
”The examination is done. I say goodbye first, if there is need for anything, or something urgent, just call me by pressing the yellow button on the right side of the bed.” said the doctor.
Beni, Anton, and Geo look at the button the doctor meant. ”Good, Doctor!” tell them three.
The doctor came out of the room.
”Beni, find breakfast first for the three of us.” Geo's word to Beni.
”Oh, Alright!” sahut Beni's. He saw Anton, ”Uncle, Uncle want breakfast what?” ask Anton Beni.
”Hum, no. Thank you, just buy breakfast for both of you. Me, no need. I'll go home first to take a shower and change. After finishing eating breakfast at home, I just returned to visit you with my wife.” said Anton.
”But, Uncle.”.
”I'm really grateful. It's not that I rejected your good intentions, but, really, I don't need to. My wife must have been waiting for me to go home at this time.” said Anton, cutting off Geo's remarks.
”Oh, fine then! I will not force.” said Geo.
”Hum.” Anton stood up. ”You're healing fast. Uncle said go home first.” said Anton, saying goodbye.
”Iya, Uncle. Be careful on the road.” say Geo and Beni.
Anton out of the room.
”Soto or meatballs for me. I want to eat fruitful.” replied Geo.
”Alright! I'm going first. Don't move much, lie down. Recover yourself.” said Beni.
”Hum!” that's the only word from Geo.
Beni is out. Making breakfast.
Geo got out of bed. He sat down on the side of Syakila's bed. In his face Syakila's face is still seen sleeping.
Her hands raised, stroking Syakila's smooth cheeks.
At the beginning of our marriage, you and I never got along. You. you, me. I. we are always in conflict. I always hurt you. Is that what makes you not want to be with me?
Syakila.. as time goes on. slowly. Your tenderness while taking care of me.and your rude attitude when you are angry with me. Everything..makes me.I love you. I feel comfortable being around you.
Syakila. I thought you also had the same feeling towards me, after all this time we were together. But. unfortunately.your love and love is not for me.
Geo sighed.
Shakila, should I just let go of you and give you to another man with my own hands? My love is so great for you.I'm afraid I can't do that.
Syskila, I once thought you cared about me. Worry about me. Because you drove bullets and knives for me with your own life.
I don't know if my mind is right or not! All I know..you must not love me, right? But..can I hope so? Wish you loved me. Syakila.I look forward to the time your love comes to welcome my love...
”Capital aware Syakila...there is someone who is waiting for you, for you to realize...you do not want to see Sardin? The man you love. He is now lying in bed next to you, not yet conscious.” said Geo, without seeing Sardin.
Geo sighed. ”Syakila..if you are aware later...will you be angry with me? Hating me? Sardin must have never told you the truth about what happened to your father, right? It wasn't me who killed your father.your father and Kevin, the father of Antonio and Marlina did have a feud back then. Me... nor my father, has nothing to do with your father's death.” Geo said again.
”Syakila, I hope you don't hate me when you realize later.you are a precious woman to me after my mother. I love you... love you so much.”
Without Geo noticing, Sardin heard his words. Sardin had regained his senses, however, hearing Geo's voice, he todak. Sardin closed his eyes again, when he heard the sound of the door opening.
Geo. apparently you really love Syakila...But I'm sorry, I won't give Syakila to you. I also love Syakila, Sardin thought.
”Geo, sorry, I've been out a long time. Em. I bought you meatballs. Is it okay?” ask Beni. He gave the bowl of meatballs to Geo.
Beni himself holds a hodgepodge package and sits on the side of Geo's bed, opposite Geo who sits on the side of Syakila's bed.
”It's okay.” Geo took the meatballs and started drinking the gravy first, just eating the meatballs.
Beni opened her hodgepodge and ate her breakfast. ”You talked to Syakila just now? Trying to make Syakila aware?” asked Beni, between her meals.
”Hum.” reply Geo.
”Geo, there's actually something I want to ask you.”
”What?” Geo seriously saw Beni.
”About Marlina, Vian, and Antonio.”
Geo stopped chewing his meatballs. He looked at Beni. He already knew what Beni would ask.
Marlina, Vian, and Antonio are her family left on Beni's side.
”Did you order a shadow protector to poison Marlina, Vian, and Antonio?” ask Beni. He saw Geo still seeing him.
Are the three of them dead? sardin's Mind. He's surprised.
Last night he saw Vian, Marlina and Antonio looking fine when they were arrested by the police. Just two gunshot wounds in both Antonio and Vian's calves alone, was unlikely to make them die. Toxicating? Could Geo's shadow guard do that in front of the police?
Geo was silent. He was waiting for the next words that Beni would talk about.
”Not look at me like that. Don't pity me. I'd rather lose them than lose you. Well, I know they're just my brothers from my late mother.” Beni said.
”You don't hate me? Not angry with me? I have killed your brother.” said Geo, after a long time of silence.
Beni shook her head, ”I know you have a reason for that. After all, the goal of Antonio, Vian, and Marlina to take Sardin is to kill you and kill Syakila. If you don't kill them, those who will have a chance later to kill you and Syakila after they get out of jail.”
GEO breathed a sigh of relief. ”Yes, you are right. At first I wanted them to be in prison for introspection. But looking at those who were so vengeful, I took the initiative to attack them first. I asked one person to do the job. Before they arrive inside the cell, my subordinates will inject poison within their bodies. The poison won't make them die quickly. But... slowly.the poison works well in their blood.” said Geo.
”Hum! The feud between Halim and Kevin is long gone..Vian and Antonio are always looking for the whereabouts of Halim's son and wife to avenge them. But.. how did Antonio know that Syakila was the son of Halim?” Beni thought seriously while looking at Geo.
”Entaih! It's possible that Syakila's identity has been discovered. In any case, Marlina, Vian , and Antonio have spies everywhere.”.
”Hum! Unexpected...Syakila and you are both enemies in the eyes of the three of them.” said Beni. He smiled wryly.
”Already! Spend your hodgepodge. My meatballs are almost gone. After this.I will go home and you, keep Syakila and Sardin here.” Geo said.
”You crazy?” cerca Beni's. He was confused to see Geo. Geo is a patient at this hospital. And he's still in recovery time. ”How is possible! How could you possibly have the thought of going home? Huh huh? You're still a patient here. No, you can't go home!” voice rising.
”I'm all right. I'm so sultry, I want to go home to take a shower and change.”
”No! You just clean your body. I won't allow you to go home. Except, the doctor already said you can go home new you, I allow!” his voice still sounded high.
”Who wants to go home?”
Beni and Geo saw Rosalina walking into the room. In his hand, holding a plastic package. From the plastered form of plastic, inside the plastic it contains clothes.
”Mama!”
”Tante!” Beni put her food on the bed. He stood up and approached Rosalina. He took the plastic expert held by Rosalina and put her on the table.
”Thank God, Auntie came at the right time! Geo clean hard wants to go home. He is also a patient in the saki house. He still needs a lot of rest to recover. But he wanted to go home and take a shower. In fact, the wound he received could not get wet.” said Beni.
”Geo, get back to sitting on your bed right! You can't go home at this time. Your recovery is very important. Your wounds are still not dry. According to that, do not do things as you please.” advice Rosalina on Geo.
Beni took his food. Geo according. He sat back on his bed.
”I'm fine, Mama!” geo.
”You're not the doctor here. You can't make your own decisions.” Rosalina sat down on the side of Syakila's bed. ”How are Syakila and Sardin conditions?” tanyakanya.
”Syakila and Sardin haven't been conscious since last night. I don't know what's holding them back from wanting to return to this world.” replied Geo.
Beni continued to eat, he remained seated at the side of Geo's bed.
”Mama has breakfast before coming here?” ask Geo.
Rosalina nodded, assuring. But, his gaze swept over Syakila and Sardin. His face looks sad.
