ENTANGLED IN MARRIAGE

Chapter 43

"So you guys need to what's the same as me? Until coming all the way from Jakarta to Jampang-Sukabumi," asked Doctor Handoko.

"Look, sir. We're the parents of a child who had an accident nineteen years ago. The patient you are treating at Puja Medika Hospital. Parents who are not allowed to see the body of his daughter when declared dead on the grounds of the condition of the face and body of our daughter in a state of disintegration. Do you remember?" Doctor Handoko was instantly speechless hearing Anna's mother's question just now.

"Why are you quiet, sir? Is there something you're hiding from us?" ask Anna again. He was already impatient to hear what the reason for Dojker Handoko was.

"Yes, mom. I still remember."

"What is the reason the doctor forbade us to see our daughter's body?"

"The reason is as I've said before, ma'am. I don't want to see my mom and dad getting ruined. Because the fate of the mother's daughter is not as lucky as the other child, who only suffered minor injuries. The child is immediately taken home as soon as the wound is treated by the person who brought the same child with your daughter. And he claimed to be the parents of the child who had the lucky fate," hearing the doctor's explanation just suddenly made Anna's mother remember her conversation with one of the residents at the scene of the incident.

Shadow On

"Excuse me! What's up, dad? How about gathering here?" some people turned their bodies upon hearing Anna's mama question, and one person among them represented answering.

"Here, mom. Two girls were hit and run victims. Fortunately they were rushed to the Hospital by a good man who happened to pass by here.

Shadow Off

"So you mean the doctor, the person who claimed to be the parent of one of the children of the accident was the same person as the crang who took my child to the Hospital?" The doctor also confirmed.

"Rubber, ma'am," mama Anna was instantly stunned.

How weird, huh? The resident said, Beautiful and the other child was taken to the Hospital by someone who happened to pass by there. But why did this Doctor say that the person who brought Indah to the Hospital was the parent of the other child?

"Where, mah? Everything is clear, right? If our daughter does not exist, and we must be sincere and accept" said papa Abdi slowly.

"No, pah. It's still something strange" answered Anna's mother, then she asked Handoko something again.

"Emm, Doc. Does the doctor know who that guy is? His name or his features The doctor still remembers?" Doctor Handoko frowned looking a little thoughtful.

"If my name is forgotten. But for his features I still remember, he was male and had a mole at the end of his nose."

Papa Abdi looked surprised by the question mama Anna just asked so far. Though clearly Doctor Handoko has explained the real reason, about why he forbid them to see the body of their daughter first.

Papa Abdi and Mama Anna are on their way back to Jakarta. After previously they dug up some information about the death of his daughter who somehow still kept a mystery. In the car, the two of them were initially silent to each other. Until finally Papa Abdi opened his voice to break the silence.

"Well, what exactly do you know, so you ask the parents of a child who had a similar accident with our daughter?" mama Anna who was once daydreaming, now realized to get a question from papa Abdi.

"Emm, so gini, pah. Doctor Handoko said that the person who brought Indah and the other child to the Hospital was the parent of the child. While I used to be with one of the residents at the scene, they said that Beautiful and the other child were brought by someone who happened to walk there, he's a good man trying to help. You think it's weird, pah?" the man scrunched his forehead deeply while thinking.

"May you be wrong at that time?"

"Continue now what's your plan?" mama Anna was stunned while thinking.

"Yes I have to make sure again the same citizen, if the person who claims to be the child's parents is right or indeed the person who just happened to pass by?!" papa Abdi nodded in agreement.

"Yes. We have to make sure of that again."

In the afternoon, Al had arrived at a place where his mother often came there when she had problems. The place was made maam Ressa to calm his heart and mind. Villa, which is in Bandung area is the place.

Al parked the car in the courtyard of the Villa, the place looked deserted. Yet beautiful and cool. And away from noise or vehicles passing by.

The man entered the villa immediately after getting out of his car. Then look for the whereabouts of his mother there. He walked through every room of the Villa, but he did not find the figure he was currently looking for. Until finally, both his eyeballs caught a woman sitting on the bench of the park behind the Villa. He immediately approached the woman.

"Mah.." called her soft, the woman turned her head.

He was shocked to see the son who had let him down now standing before him. The woman immediately moved and intended to stay away. But the man managed to grab the wrist of the mother then in the hug of the woman's body.

"Well, I beg you for my explanation!" Al spoke right on his mother's shoulder.

Mama Ressa who is still disappointed also let go of Al's embrace. He didn't want to hear any excuses from the man. But Al will continue to explain without despair until Mama Ressa understands.

"Mama doesn't want to hear any explanation, Al! Mom's disappointed. Mom's heart hurts. Mama's ruined!" he said as he sobbed.

"But I beg you, mah. Love me a chance to make-"

"Enough, Al! You better go and leave your mom alone here!"

The situation immediately turned blue, at which time Al was now kneeling before Ressa's mother while pleading.

"Well, I did all this just because of my mom. I married the girlfriend of the man Disa loved. Lisa asked me to do this. And I fulfilled her request that I not see my mother's sad face, when Disa had to feel sad because the man she loved belonged to someone else" Al sighed.

"If Disa gets sad, mama must be sad too, right? That's what I'm afraid of, mahb I don't want to see mama, as ruined as ever, mah. Strap if my decision is wrong, I'll finish my marriage to Amera" the man added.

The sentence Al just managed to touch the heart of Mama Ressa, maybe Al's intention is good, he did not want to see himself until sad when Disa was at the point of disappointment.
