Nayla opened her eyes, she could see Mother Aisyah and her three best friends were nearby. Their faces showed concern for her lying weak, Mery who was checking on Nayla smiled as she saw her now-sister-conscious friend.
"What are you thinking until you are unconscious again" asked Mery as a doctet she understood Nayla's condition.
"I'm just scared" replied Nayla softly.
"Don't think too much, Sandy loves you so much she won't do anything like yesterday anymore" replied Mery who knew what Nayla was afraid of.
"Don't dejavu, fight back and forget. You're pregnant with Nay, it's not good for your baby if you're often unconscious" Mery patted Nayla's hand with a smile, he knew Nayla was very afraid of the violence and infighting she caused. When that happened in front of him, he would constantly remember and feel fear.
Nayla nods her head in order to understand what Mery means, until now she has not been able to eliminate the fear caused by past trauma.
The long walk did not make him tired, he immediately said goodbye to the mother and left once the vehicle that was in his overlap reached his grandfather's residence. The little girl ran small through the path, a shortcut to quickly get to the lake. He who was impatient to play in the lake sped up his run, accidentally hit a boy who was playing with other children.
"Hey.if you look around" snapped the child he hit. The child's body was the largest compared to the others, making the little girl afraid.
"I'm sorry I didn't see you" the little girl replied, making the other children laugh.
"Ha.ha.ha..awakna badag but henteu katingali (his body is big but not too big)" said one of the other children who were there.
The words of his friend who laughed at him made the boy who was hit by the little girl angry, he did not accept being the laughingstock of his friends.
"Kadieu (here you are)" called the boy while yelling at the little girl who bumped into him and looked at him with a sharp gaze.
The little girl shook her head, she did not want to get close to the boy she hit. Seeing that the little girl was not following her wishes, the boy approached the little girl and pulled his hand and walked along while dragging the little girl.
The other children fell silent from their laughter and let their friend drag the little girl down the tree.
"Take off" the little girl asked by shouting while enduring the pain in her hand.
Brucks.
A boy kicked the boy who pulled the little girl, making the big boy fall. Do not accept being kicked suddenly the big boy fought back and retaliated. They fought each other and kicked each other, both can only be separated after two fathers who happened to pass there saw the fight.
"Hans.. hik..." Little Lala cried to see Hans hurt for helping her.
"You don't cry La, I'm fine" Hans replied as he cleaned the wound on his face.
Mama Rita tells Sandy the story of her childhood, who fought because she wanted to help Nayla. "You remember?" he asked while looking at his son who was just silent and nodded his head.
"Since that time Nayla couldn't see people fighting and fighting, let alone the fights were because of her. She will continue to fear when she recalls the incident" explained Mama Rita who got a story from Mother Aisyah that it was the cause of Nayla unconsciousness.
"Why do you have to fight with that guy? He's just Nayla's past, Ndy?" Mama Rita sighed harshly.
"Nayla will soon be the mother of your child, she has given up her life to walk with you"
"It's not time for you to fuss with the men from Nayla's past what else until fighting, you'll be a father not a child anymore" Mama Rita patted Sandy's shoulder gently.
"Sorry ma, I can't hold back my emotions" That's all Sandy can say from all her mother's advice, she already regretted what happened two days ago.
"I have no more problems with the man ma, we have made peace" explained Sandy that he and Nuno have apologized and forgiven each other.
"But Nayla doesn't know yet" replied Mama Rita, who told Sandy that she had not told her about her peace with Nuno.
Sandy arrived at the residence of Father Dimas, he immediately glided with his vehicle after talking to Mama Rita who gave him a lot of advice. Sandy wanted to accompany Nayla tonight and not want to leave her, she came in when Bi Ati opened the door "My wife is sleeping bi?" he asked, when he saw that no one had gathered in the family room as usual.
"Mbak Nay's in Den's room, but aunt doesn't know what's sleeping yet"
Sandy walked towards Nayla's room after getting an answer from Bi Ati, she opened the door slowly afraid of waking up his wife who might have fallen asleep.
"I'm sorry dear" kissed Sandy Nayla on the forehead while lying next to his wife who was asleep, he immediately cleaned himself and changed clothes when entering and saw Nayla who had gone to dream.
His sturdy hands hugged Nayla and his eyes closed, today it feels very tiring because he had to travel back and forth Jakarta - Bandung and had to finish the work he left last weekend.
Nayla could feel there was a breath on her face as she woke up from her sleep, she smiled as she opened her eyes looking at Sandy's sleeping face. Nayla put her head into Sandy's arms, she wanted to feel a warm embrace that could reconcile her heart.
"You're awake, baby" Nayla's movements keep Sandy awake, "Hemm" replied Nayla who closed her eyes again.
Sandy moved to stretch her arms and look at Nayla's face. "Don't let go of his embrace" Nayla's pinta makes Sandy undo her intentions and just kiss the tip of his wife's head.
"Why should I force myself to go back to Jakarta?" ask Nayla who still wants to be in Sandy's arms.
"I can't sleep without you" Sandy replied as she raised Nayla's face to see.
"Gombal" Nayla said, making Sandy laugh "Now is no longer the time to fight my dear" he replied, and hugged his wife tightly.
"Lala forgive me, I really don't know the story of our past makes you so always feel afraid" Sandy always tightly embraced Nayla, imagined by her how Nayla through her days against the fear caused her.
"I promise I won't do it again, don't be afraid anymore dear" Sandy stretched her arms and looked at Nayla's face. "I promise for our son" Sandy rubbed Nayla's flat stomach.
Nayla did not answer, preferring to go inside Sandy's arms to feel the warmth and comfort of her husband's embrace.
