Diorama Love (RaniAnggara)

Bereft

Ranu Kuncoro was struck by lightning at night when he heard that his wife and step-sister were lying in hospital in a critical condition.

Ranu immediately asked Irwan Handoko for permission to go to the hospital. He was like someone who was driving a car alone at high speed to get to the hospital.

Ranu Kuncoro could not think clearly when he arrived at the hospital. Bik Nah and Mr. Bambang, his wife's private driver were waiting for him in front of the operating room.

"Mrs Risa and Ms. Silvia are both undergoing surgery, sir," said the bik nah with a sad look on her face. Fortunately, that time, I returned to the Kuncoro family home. Bik well forget the list of groceries that he will make for shopping needs tomorrow. And he saw two men with very good looks coming out in a hurry from the master's house.

Bik nah immediately shouted for help. The two men who knew the whereabouts of the bik nah rushed to escape by car for fear in the crackle of the citizens. Bik now found the two women in the house had been lying on the floor. Both are in unconscious condition.

Bik Nah immediately called Mr. Bambang and helped by some residents around them took the two pregnant women to the hospital.

Ranu Kuncoro rubbed his face violently. He couldn't imagine what was really going on. How was Risa's condition at the time of the incident. Ranu Kuncoro can only hope that Risa and the baby in her womb can be saved.

After an hour of waiting, the operation was finally completed. The doctor came out of the operating room. Ranu immediately approached the doctor who had just performed surgery to his wife and sister.

"The patient's family"call the nurse who is next to the doctor.

"I'm her husband, doc" said Ranu Kuncoro with a look of anxious expectation.

"I'm sorry, we tried our best. But there was only one baby we could save. And the other baby died in the womb. Sorry, we're so sorry" said the doctor with a sad face.

Ranu Kuncoro himself could not say anything more. His voice felt stifled and unable to ask anything else. How could he accept the true circumstances. Ranu didn't know what to say to his wife later.

"There's something I want to say personally with you, come with me" the doctor told Ranu Kuncoro.

Ranu also followed the steps of the doctor who walked to his study. Ranu followed the doctor with a shaky step. He can't think of anything. His mind was empty after hearing what the doctor had just said to him.

"Please sit down, father," said the obstetrician who has been treating the health of the fetus in his wife. Ranu sat in a chair in front of the doctor's desk.

"I'm sorry, if I had to say this to you, I know it's not easy for you and your wife to accept this fact. But fate says otherwise, you and your wife must let go of this incident. I hope that my father and mother can sincerely give it up for the common good" said the doctor giving his advice.

"Ja.di.di.mean the doctor, who died is ba.yi.."Ranu Kuncoro could not continue his words just now. Ranu is unable to speak according to the reality.

"I know it's not easy for my father and mother to accept it, but it's all fate. However, there is something important that I want to say. I can't decide this alone. Your sister wants to give her daughter to your wife. He doesn't want your wife to get depressed later after knowing that your daughter has passed away. As a doctor, I can't decide this by myself. That's not my authority. Please you and your sister to decide what is best for Miss Risa," said the doctor giving complete authority to Ranu Kuncoro to decide on her sister's request.

Silvia lay on the hospital bed with tears that could not be blocked. He felt so guilty about what his sister-in-law, Risa, experienced. Silvia felt very guilty about what had happened to Risa. He could do nothing to help Risa.

"He is a famous businessman. He made me his lustful woman. And I've fallen in love with him. I don't want to part with her that's why I'm trying to conceive a seed from her. But he didn't want this kid. I'm planning to move house and have all my clothes packed. But who would have thought his men came to the house. Sister Risa wants to help me because I will be taken by them. But...but ....,"Silvia could not continue her story because she burst into tears after remembering what had happened to her brother-in-law.

"I beg you, do this request of mine, mbak Risa will not be able to hear the real news, I.please.mas,"silvia said in a tone pleading with her half-sister to accept her daughter as their biological child. Because Silvia felt that her brother-in-law would not be able to accept the real situation. Silvia would not have the heart to see the deep sadness would be felt by the sister-in-law who had been so good and cared for him like her own sister.

Ranu Kuncoro walked towards the room that placed the newborn babies. He saw a beautiful baby girl. On the cot was written a name that made Ranu Kuncoro could not hold back his tears from flowing.

Baby Lady Risa Kuncoro.

As soon as the writing is written there. Ranu Kuncoro could not stem his tears from spilling.

I'm sorry, son. I can't take good care of you. Father who has been guilty of this. Dad is not a good father.

Risa started to blink her eyes and saw the glare of light illuminating her vision. Risa looked to the side and saw her husband sitting facing a baby basket in front of her. Risa instantly shed her tears upon seeing what was before her.

"Mas.."call Risa with her weak voice. Ranu Kuncoro turned his head and found Risa crying while looking at him. Ranu rushed to Risa's bed and held the hand of his newly awakened wife from her dope.

"Mas.he...."Risa could not continue her words because she felt very happy because the child in her womb was saved. Ranu Kuncoro just nodded his head.

"Yes.he.our daughter," replied Ranu Kuncoro before his wife. Risa was so happy and crying while smiling towards the tiny baby. She felt so happy and grateful that her baby had managed to live. Risa already felt hopeless because she thought she could not save the child in her womb.

"Thank God, you saved our daughter" Risa said in her prayer. Ranu Kuncoro just fell silent while wiping his endless tears. Ranu was sad and happy to see what happened to his wife.

I'm sorry Risa. I did all this for our good. I don't want anything bad to happen to you. I want you to be happy even though the way I do this is wrong. But I'd rather not see you sad if you knew the truth.
