Chapter 45

"We better see a doctor," Sinta guided Doni to help her sit back. Then he picked up a mobile phone intending to contact Doctor Andi.

Not yet had time to make a call, Doni has seized and slammed Sinta's phone.

Brakk!

Sinta sighed, staring at her phone that had been separated from its original form.

"Get out!" Jerky Doni.

"Please, don't be like this. Doctor Andi said you needed treatment."

Sinta suppressed her emotions while talking to Doni. He needs extra patience now.

"Come out" said Doni, rising from his seat.

"So you're so stubborn?"

Sinta held onto Doni's body that was about to leave, "You're dying and need treatment right now."

Without saying a word Doni dragged Sinta's arm to take her out of the room. After that, Doni returned and locked the room from the inside.

"Open!" shout Sinta.

"Hey, you jerk!" Sinta banged on the door from the outside.

"Have you never thought about my feelings?" sinta's cry began to swallow, "why do you have the heart to make me like this?"

Sinta seeped her body leaning against the door. Sinta's tears came back, Doni did not answer at all his call.

Then he got up and walked towards the sofa. It seems like the night he's going to sleep outside.

***

In the morning Sinta had prepared breakfast for her husband, her eyes were swollen from crying last night.

Hearing the sound of Doni's steps approaching, Sinta flipped her body and found Doni smiling at her. Sinta returned the smile, but she felt Doni's gaze was different.

"Are you the new housekeeper?" Doni asked as she pulled out a chair for him to sit on.

Sinta was silent, the plate she was holding shook slightly. Suddenly his eyes warmed up.

"Eat," Sinta put the plate down.

Doni was confused by the attitude of the woman who was preparing food for him.

"Taste you well, too," Doni feed the food voraciously, "as no stranger to the taste of this cuisine."

Sinta looked up with teary eyes. Andi said in this case it is common, if the patient with tumor memory weakened. Maybe Sinta should get used to it if Doni forgets about it at any time.

Slowly Doni's memory recovered, he remembered if the woman in front was Sinta. He looked up to Sinta.

"I have to go." Doni stood up to finish his meal. She really did not want to see Sinta's sad face.

Sinta was just silent, staring at the body of Doni who passed away. Then Sinta ran after Doni, she wanted to ask her husband where he was going. But arriving in front of Doni's car is over.

***

In Sita's flower garden there are many pots and scattered soil. Diana was trying to plant a flower, diverting her grief.

Suddenly from the side Doni snatched the pot that Diana was holding.

"You should have used your two hands to get the ground into the pot" commented Doni, who was crouched beside Diana.

Diana remembered, Doni would definitely behave like this when she did something. His chest felt tight when remembering a time when he often quarreled with Doni because of trivial problems.

"Look at this!" Doni grabbed his brother's hand, "your nail is all black for not wearing gloves."

Diana looked at her hands with teary eyes. Later, will anyone comment on it again? he asked in his heart. He felt this was too fast. Even his brash sister had yet to give away his nephew.

"Where's Mama?"

"Mama, peeling an onion." Diana said that with a trembling voice holding back the cries.

Doni's eyes heated up, remembering that everyone around him was sad. Without saying anything, Doni stood up to leave his brother.

Upon entering the kitchen, Doni saw his mother sitting on the floor with a carpet. Many onions that his mother had peeled.

Doni took his place in front of his mother who was peeling onions.

"Ma, don't duck, I want to see your sexy face." Doni brought his face closer.

Sita couldn't hold back her crying anymore.

"Diana said, if you peel the onions with sunglasses, Mama will not cry" said Sita with a sob. "But why are you still crying?"

Sita endured a deep sadness. He could not look at his son's face. Why is destiny so unfair. What the disease should give him is himself.

"It looks like you should wash your face first." Sita leaves Doni still with her cries.

His side in Sinta's room immediately vented out his cries. She cried bitterly without holding it back any longer, Sita poured out all her sorrow.

Doni was still sitting there as Sita passed from before him. He endured the same deep sadness as Sita.

Doni looked down and was silent for a while.

"What are you doing, son?"

Mr. Diharja patted the shoulder of his downed son.

"I'm waiting for you, Pa." Doni looked at Mr. Diharja with a cheerful smile, his current attitude was like a teenager. "I was accepted into the college I dreamed of."

Mr. Diharja was sitting next to Doni, his eyes glazed over at his son.

"I hope to finish my education soon. So I can help you in the company."

Mr. Diharja could not hold back his cries anymore.

"Papa seems to be unwell." Doni looked at Mr. Diharja who was covering his face. "If I go Papa should take good care of his health." Doni expressed his hope with a plain face typical of teenagers.

Mr. Diharja's cry was unbearable when Doni was gone. He realized how bad his son was at this moment.

Doni walked out through the big door of his parents' house. The phone vibrated, notification led to an incoming message from Sinta.

"Love?" Doni stunned in astonishment.

When unlocking the phone screen, he stared at his photo with Sinta as a theme. Doni's memory recovered, he hurriedly stepped his feet to leave.

Until noon Doni has not yet returned home. Sinta was worried, the message had been sent but not read by Doni.

The sound of knocking on the door made him feel relieved, the first Sinta thought that came was Doni. But the one who knocked on the door turned out to be the courier who delivered the food.

Sinta put the food on the table. He just stared, not intending to eat it, even though he felt pain in his stomach.

Sinta called her husband's phone again, but none of her calls were picked up. He held back his stomach which was painful. Sinta's face was getting pale.

***

Sampai at home Doni immediately search for the whereabouts of his wife. When his feet were in the living room, he found Sinta sleeping on the sofa.

"You're home yet?"

Doni approached Sinta without answering his wife's question. He touched Sinta's forehead which felt hot.

"Why don't you call a doctor?"

"It's just plain heat." replied Sinta who was still curled up.

"Come, we'll go to the doctor."

"I don't want to."

"You can die."

"I don't care."

Doni looked at Sinta, "I want to die with me?" doni asked a little annoyed.

"Why? can't it?" Sinta returned Doni's gaze.

"Bas stupid."

Sinta got up from her sleep, "Yes, I'm a fool." Sinta has been holding her husband. "Stupid. Kenpa I love a very lousy husband, like you."

"All right, we're gonna die together."

Then Doni carried Sinta's body and took her into the car.
