Dusk And Suffering

59. Coral Story

Dusk kept his promise to his father, acting ordinary in front of his mother, showing as if he did not know anything. However, behind his usual attitude, Dusk secretly checked himself to find out the state of his kidneys. He wanted to know if his kidneys were okay and suitable for his mother.

Yes, twilight feels waiting for blood donors from others is very long and can not be expected. Before anything happened with his mother, he finally took the initiative to donate his own kidney.

"I'm sorry, ma'am because mom is breastfeeding so we don't recommend donating a kidney. We don't want with our actions this to affect Mom's health, so that it will impact Mom's children as well. Living with one kidney is not easy, ma'am. Women like this mother should have a healthy physical and psychic. So, sorry we couldn't grant Mom's request."

That was the answer from the doctor when Dusk expressed his intention to come to the hospital. He finally came home with empty hopes. He came to the hospital with great enthusiasm and hope, but once he arrived at the hospital his hope was broken by the doctor's words.

Until that afternoon, Alan and Alana's first birthday. Aldi brings good news on a special day. He told everyone that Manda had a kidney donor who was suitable for him.

"Serious sir?" Pekik Dusk.

"Seriously, this was Pakde's been informed by the hospital."

"Then to Mas Aldi's number?" Akmal asked.

"Yes, the one I wrote my number. Manda does not want, he said later if there is a ringing hape he hopes a call from the hospital. The more you expect, the more it will hurt. That, he said."

"Oh there are those who are afraid of being broken by hope as well, yes it turns out," Akmal said.

Manda replied with a sneer.

"When's the operation?" The twilight asked.

"Next week. So your job from now on is to take care of your diet and health. Let's have a healthy surgery day and be ready to heal."

"I took care of Mom first too. Ask Mom. Since I've been honest with me about the pain, I've always taken care of you."

"Mother is honest with you? Sure?"

"I forced it."

The luncheon event finally continued with delights and was full of laughter, already like a whole family without problems. Though one of them was thinking about something, Akmal who had begun to suspect a little by little change in attitude Coral.

"Where do you want to go to school? How if we are just one school, let our friendship not break up." Andra, the closest friend to the Coral. You could say their closeness is like a brother. Both being an only child makes them complement each other.

"Can. Learn from now on, lo. We enter the favorite High School that is at the end of the road. The girls are pretty, good for toys. Make baper they keep staying."

Andra's question made Karang mind wander about the problems he experienced from when he was a child until now.

If Karang used to hear harsh words and expressions from the mouths of his parents, his eyes are now forced to see the condition of his parents who are always far apart and rarely greet.

It was rare to have a fight between them, but what was clear now was that Clara and Akmal were like strangers on one roof, at least that was what Karang caught from what he saw.

"Gue wasn't traumatized or numb, I just didn't have love. And love in my opinion, nothing."

"Why do you want to play women? I'm naughty, I admit I'm naughty. I know the same things we should avoid. But I don't have the same thoughts as you. For me, women should be taken care of, Rang. We are born of a woman, do not hurt their people. They have a soft heart, lo baperin doang continue to stay, yes if that girl is okay. What is his mental state?"

"Lo is not like me, because you are surrounded by a lot of love," replied Karang and returned to smoking his cigarette.

"Emang lo, isn't it? We are the same, Rang times. Our parents both have their own busy lives and seem to forget that they have children."

"But lo's parents adem ayem. Although they are busy from morning to evening outside the house, they have time for you, right? They have quality time for themselves and also lo. Actually, it's not a lack of love than me. You feel less, right? If you see me at home, maybe you'll be grateful, you have parents now. I just want to stay at home for two days just envy you. Try out the final exam later you sleep my house. Let's be more grateful to have parents now."

"Aren't you at home twenty-four hours? That means you have no limit dong to thank him. Do you have a problem with your parents? I think I see the weight of Rang."

Suddenly the eyes of the Coral warmed up, before long his vision was blurry. His chest felt tight, it hurt so much if he had to remember what he had experienced during these fifteen years.

"Rang, you can tell me we, have been close for a long time. You consider me a brother, right?" Andra who noticed the change in the look of the face of Karang, he touched the shoulder of his best friend. And at the same time the Coral tears that were once crammed in the eye pelupuk have now splashed out.

"It's a long story, Ndra. If I tell you a story, I'm afraid you're so sorry for me."

"Lo doubt our friendship?"

"Just because I'm Ken lo, I feel like I have a family. Teach me things that are not, things that lead to negative things. But, on the one hand I'm grateful I have lo, lo who's always been there for me."

"Yes, what's wrong, dong? Lo why?"

Flowing the story of the Coral from his age to understand the circumstances surrounding it until now. Andra showed a surprised face.

"So you're Mr Akmal's son? Successful entrepreneurs who have plagued rape cases in the past? You're serious, Rang?" An unexpected and incredulous response was shown by Andra. "So you ever see your brother?"

"No, I have no intention of wanting to know, find out and care about Papa's past. I have no business."
