A painful surprise
Mia calls Minah's grandmother and mb to join them in the family room. After Mia told him about the surprise Arnold had prepared, everyone nodded and looked excited.
Mia knocked on Rara's room door,
Rara: "Who?"
Mia: "This is my mom, Ra. Can you come out for a second?"
Chequek! The room door opened and Rara saw Mia's sweet smile on the doorstep.
All : "Shock!!"
Rara: "Why? What's up?"
Rara stared at the puzzled everyone standing in the living room as she exited the room.
Rara was more surprised to see Arnold walking up to her while carrying a large bouquet of roses.
Rara: "Mas, your legs?"
Arnold : "Yes, baby. Surprise, I can walk normally."
Rara: "But the therapy? The doctor said, right..?"
Arnold: "I'm cured, Ra."
Rara: "Do you think this is a joke?"
Arnold saw Rara's face flushed with anger.
Rara: "Why would you?"
Arnold could not answer Rara. The tongue felt faint to see Rara's unexpected reaction.
Rara turned quickly into her room and slammed the door shut.
He sat on the bed and began to cry bitterly. Arnold who tried to catch up with him, stopped Mia.
Mia: "Wait, Arn. Let mama aja. You wait here."
The atmosphere of excitement surprise for Rara earlier ended with awkwardness. Alex accompanied Arnold to a sitting in the living room.
Mia knocked on the door of Rara's room, she tried to open the door that opened.
Mia: "Ra, mama's in."
There was no answer from Rara, she was too busy crying to hear anything.
Mia opened the room door slowly and entered into Rara's room. Rara sat on the bed.
Mia: "Well?"
Rara: "Since when..hiks..."
Mia: "Mama just found out, Ra. Mama uda told Arnold the same thing, but Arnold said he wanted a surprise tonight."
Rara: "So Arnold is not.. hiks... paralyzed? This month... hiks... hiks.... just a lie?!"
Mia : "Arnold only...
Rara: "Already, mah. Don't defend.. hiks.. hiks. Rara didn't.. hiks."
Mia understood Rara's annoyance, all this time Rara had been patient and strong enough to face Arnold's condition. She swallowed all the words of the man about her disabled husband.
Rara never complained to Arnold. He tried to take care of Arnold and keep his emotions stable.
Rara wiped her tears, she was already very tired.
Rara: "Well, Rara's going to bed."
Mia: "Sleep, baby. Mama's here."
Rara : "Rara does not want.hiks... met Arnold. Tired, mah."
Mia: "Yes, mama will forbid him from going into the room."
πππππ
Outside, Arnold kept looking towards the living room. He waited for Mia to return, anxiety on his face.
Alex pats Arnold on the shoulder,
Alex: "Patience, Arn. Rara's gonna be fine."
Arnold: "Arnold thinks Rara will be happy to know Arnold can walk again."
Alex: "We'll wait for Mama."
Arnold: "Arnold should be honest from the beginning, reward. But Arnold wants to make a surprise with Rara."
Alex: "He's been suffering enough and lonely since you went into a coma, Arn. Rara never complained to us. But we know how she feels."
Mia: "Tie him a long time ago. He doesn't want to see you first, Arn. Tired said."
Mia emerged from the living room. Arnold began to cry regretting his actions. Mia and Alex leave her alone as their twins begin to cry.
Arnold remained sitting quietly in the living room until grandma also returned to her room. He moved to sit in the family room, his eyes could not be seen towards his room and Rara.
πππππ
At midnight, Rara's room door opened. He woke up hungry, in the dimness of the night because the lights had been turned off, Arnold could see the figure of Rara walking slowly approaching the refrigerator.
Rara took a box and ate the contents of the box.
He also took a glass of milk, massaging his waist he gulped a little of it.
Arnold's tears fell without him noticing. He only found out that Rara often woke up in the middle of the night to take food.
While he was fast asleep, he should have done that for Rara a month ago.
Arnold hit his own head. He is completely irresponsible as a husband and father-to-be.
Rara wanted to go back to her room, she had stopped near the living room. His eyes squinted at the figure of Arnold lying in the living room.
Arnold pretended to be asleep, he remembered the words of Mia who said that Rara did not want to meet him first.
Rara went into her room, and came out again approaching Arnold while carrying something. Arnold did not have time to wipe away his tears.
He felt his body warm because of the blanket that Rara placed slowly on his body.
Tears were pouring from Arnold's corner. He still refrained from opening his eyes.
She fears Rara is getting angry at her and ends up hurting herself and their baby. Rara hasn't moved on from Arnold's side. He rubbed his still sore waist.
Arnold could not bear to open his eyes, he sat down beside Rara and helped massage her back. Rara was silent when Arnold did that.
Arnold restrained himself from hugging Rara, only massaging her back.
Suddenly Rara straightened her body. He walked back to the room without saying anything more. Arnold saw Rara's figure disappear behind the door and she lay back down.
Arnold closed his eyes with his arms, hoping his tears would stop flowing for now. Just as Arnold closed his eyes, he felt his arm being hit by something.
Rara returns again, this time carrying her pregnant mother's pillow and sleeping next to Arnold. Arnold shared his blanket with Rara, letting her sleep in his arms without saying anything.
He knew that Rara was still angry with him. Arnold chose silence, falling asleep with Rara.
