Drrtt..

Drrtt..

The sound of the incoming phone rang out the concentration of a man about twenty-seven years old who was driving. The man immediately looked for a tool to connect his phone that is often used to the ear. However, repeatedly he fingered to where he used to store, the object was not found as well. Finally the man chose to pick up the phone just now, and stick the flat object near his ear.

"Hello.. What's the matter, ma?"

"What's? Okay, I'm going there now!" the man was shocked when he heard what the caller had just said, his face immediately turned frantic.

The man put the flat object back in his pocket. He increased the speed of his car twice as much as before.

In the middle of the trip, he suddenly stepped on his brake pedal when he saw a woman crossing, and almost hit him.

He adjusted his wheezing breath, seeing the woman he had almost hit looked terrified. He got out of his car and approached the woman.

"Are you okay?" the woman opened both hands that covered her face.

"Nope-no. I'm fine!" replied the twenty-four-year-old woman with a strong shake of her head

The man reached into the pocket of his suit, then gave a card to the woman who was not yet known by name.

"It's my business card, if you think anyone is hurt, you can call me later. I have to go!"

The woman received a business card that had just been given by the man who almost hit her. He looked behind the body of the car that had been speeding up and disappeared from his sight.

The woman read the business card just now, where it says the man's name.

"Alan Permadi?" the woman frowned deeply.

Then he hurried to step foot from where he was currently standing.

In a hospital inpatient room, lies the figure of a man who was accompanied by his wife. She was unceasingly crying over her ailing husband, as the Doctor had already sentenced her life span to not be long.

"Ma, where's Alan? Why hasn't he come yet?" ask Faris Permadi, the man who was lying in the bed of the patient. His voice sounded faint, and his breathing was heavy.

"Wait a minute, pa! Alan will be here soon" Ressa, wife of Faris, wipes away the hardened tears on her cheeks.

Not long after, someone walked into the room with hasty steps. That person was Alan.

"Ma, why papa?" Alan looked so worried, previously he knew this papa was fine.

"This papa actually had a serious illness for quite a while, and the doctor said that Papa will soon be leaving us for good, Al.." Ressa was sobbing in her son's arms.

"Mama, don't talk like that! We pray that Papa will be healed. Get well soon, pa!" Alan wasn't too surprised to hear his papa had a serious illness, as he often found a cure in his papa's room, but he didn't know what it was, it was apparently a drug that his father had consumed.

"Allen.." Faris grabbed his son's hand trembling.

"Papa ask you, please take good care of your mama, yes! Please don't tell your sister before she comes back if something happens to you! Papa does not want if he does not focus on continuing his education. Yea?!"

"But Disa deserves to know papa's condition!" alan asserted. Lisa is Alan's sister.

"Pa, papa why, pa? Papa hangs in, yeah!"

"Al, you call the doctor now! Hurry, Al!" ressa's face grew increasingly worried, what if her husband would really leave for good.

"Yes, ma," Alan rushed out of the room, before long he returned with the Doctor and the two sisters.

"Sorry, mom. The mother and the mas can come out for a while, the doctor will examine the patient," the nurse asked.

Ressa shook her head loudly, she denied and wanted to keep her husband company inside. But Alan immediately calmed his mother and took her out.

Ten minutes passed, finally the Doctor came out of the patient room. Ressa and Alan who were just sitting in rows of iron chairs immediately got up from their seats.

"Doctor, what is my husband? Can he be healed?" Ressa asked impatiently waiting for the Doctor's answer.

In view of the look on his doctor's face, it seemed that the Doctor did not have the heart to tell the truth. He could only shake his head, which Ressa and Alan could understand.

Ressa barged into the room, finding her husband's entire body covered by a nurse. Ressa screams in disbelief when her husband leaves her and her family for good.

"Papaaaa.." Ressa's screams were heard all over the world.

***

A few months later, a girl had just come from abroad. A personal assistant walks behind him, carrying the girl's suitcase.

"Mama.. I'm h-home... Mamma... Papa's.. I'm home.." he yelled in the living room of his house.

Not long after, Ressa came out of her room. A tinge of happiness was seen on Ressa's face when she saw her daughter had returned home to arrive in the Fatherland.

"Can, baby..." Ressa immediately embraces her daughter's tiny body, as well as Disa who increasingly tighten her mother's embrace to let go of longing.

"Mama, I miss my mom." said the girl.

"Mama is also very confused with you, baby," Ressa is no less missed than Disa.

"Ma, where's papa? I also want to hug papa, I miss the same papa, too," Disa can't wait to let go of longing with her papa, but suddenly the question of Disa makes Ressa sad again.

"Ma, mama why? How, mama cry? What's up, ma? My story is mom why?" Disa looked at her confused mama, looking at her mama's eyes in turn. Why was her mother suddenly sad when she asked her father whereabouts. Why could her mother be as sad as she is today. Has anything happened while he was abroad? What's wrong with the papa?

"Mama, why are you quiet? Where's papa, ma?" Can repeat the question.

Ressa tries to catch her breath, trying to stay calm in front of her daughter. He did not want Disa to be destroyed if he heard the truth.

"Can. Papa's.." Ressa hung up her sentence, I don't think she could say any of this.
