Escapees

Risks

A week since the incident, Niah is overcome with guilt and has hurt Arya even though Arya and Anita do not mind her.

“Already Niah, don't think about it.it's all just an accident” said Anita tried to comfort Niah, Anita could not bear to see Niah continue to grieve.

“But Nit, because of my carelessness I have injured doctor Arya” replied Niah with a sad face. There is regret that stuck in her heart , how could the two sisters who were so kind to him be hurt by it just because of his stupidity and carelessness, he felt truly sorry.

“Niah...had told me all just an accident.again, Arya's sister is okay, had left for work this morning” said Anita while hugging her best friend. Niah looks very fragile, there is no spirit in his eyes, which there is only a deep regret over the fate line that must be lived.

“ But ..however I have injured your brother Nit, the one who should not be hurt because of my misfortune” Niah lowered his head with tears that kept pressing about to come out.

“Ush..can't say that Niah! So I believe this is God's way of getting you closer to Him, if an event happens then becomes a cause of our closeness to Him then it is not worth us to call it bad luck, he said, because everything that happens in the world there is wisdom contained in it for people who want to think” Anita continues to advise her best friend.

“But Nit, my future has been destroyed, I do not know how to rise up to rearrange my life Nit” clear water that had been hanging in the corner of his eyes finally spilled, finally spilled, Niah can not imagine the life he will live in the future, is there still hope for him to return to being an accepted human being. His mind was chaotic and ambiguous, I don't know what else to do now.

“I want to go home Nit...but will my parents accept me back?” niah said with a pias face, he could not imagine the reaction of his mother and father to the news about him out there.

“Nit..I'm sure there are no parents who can not forgive their children, you will never know how they will react if you never try it” Anita said there is a truth according to Niah. He should try to apologize first to his papa mama, about how their reception was about later.

“Tomorrow Sunday Nit, surely papa mama is at home, can you accompany me Nit?” Ask Niah with a clear face.

“ Of course dear” said Anita while pinching her best friend's cheek, there is a smile of relief that adorns Anita's face seeing her best friend can smile a little.

The next day Niah leaves for her parents' house, because Arya's holiday takes them, along the way Anita clasps Niah's hand to strengthen her determination to meet her parents.

Niah grew nervous when he arrived in front of his house, it was heavy to step his feet into the house that he had long left.not much changed, his vast garden was growing many trees , from the outside looks their gardener who is busy watering the flowers that bloom, he did not realize the arrival of his master was because he was busy caring for plants next to his house.

With the gontai Niah steps accompanied by Arya and anita entering the courtyard of the luxury house, the atmosphere looked very quiet. Slowly Niah pressed the bell that was located beside the door, long Niah waited until a frail face figure stood in front of him. “Mba Niah” shouted the middle-aged woman while scattering her arms around Niah, they hugged each other and let go of the longing that had long since arisen in each other's chests, respectively, Arya and Anita are moved to witness the heartwarming encounter between her best friend and Asri's mom.

“Mba Niah anywhere? I've been looking everywhere !” said the woman while continuing to hug Niah who was also incessantly rebuking.

“Where's mba?” Asked Niah while stepping in, he no longer remembered Anita and Arya who accompanied him home. Only the Asri Artnya mba allowed Arya and Anita to enter and sit in the living room.

While Niah went straight into her mother's room, her steps stopped in front of the room, she watched a woman sitting in a wheelchair facing the window, his gaze was blankly staring at the roses flourishing in the garden beside his house, his body thin and squeaky, far from his appearance three years ago when Niah left this house.

“Mama...” Niah ran to hug her mother, while the woman did not respond to anything, her gaze was still empty as if unaware of the arrival of her child.

“Mah...maafin Niah mah” said Niah in a cry while hugging the legs of her mother, but the woman was still silent, only warm droplets flowed in the corner of her sunken and pale eyes, he didn't budge from his place at all.

“Mother pain mba” Niah glanced towards the voice, at the door seemed mba Asri standing with my eyes.

“Since when?” Ask Niah with a hoarse voice .

“About a month since mba Niah left this house” replied the woman while wiping the clear water that had trickled back on her cheeks.

He then rubbed his mother's face, a face that had always been beautiful and graceful, now looked very pale and dull.

“Maafin Niah mah..maafin your ungodly son this” cry Niah increasingly become - so when watching his mother just look at him expressionlessly , only occasionally clear circles dripping in the corner of his eyes.

Arya and Anita approach Niah who is still resting at the feet of her mother “ Niah who is patient well, well, you can definitely get through all this” Anita hugged her best friend while Arya was swept away in a drama-filled atmosphere in the room, he could not imagine how Niah had to accept the unrelenting trials that hit his life.

“Niah , that's your husband?” suddenly his mother's gaze was directed at Aryan doctor, but Asri was surprised because only this time he saw his master was making a sound since three years.

Arya looks clumsy, while Niah is unable to say anything. “So you're married? Thank goodness.here son , near mama” Ratih's mother waved her hand at Arya doctor who was still confused to answer what.

“Ma..he is not..” is not finished Niah talks doctor Arya prevents her from continuing her words.

“Iya mah...my husband Niah” Arya doctor's answer immediately made the whole room surprised, he approached Ratih's mother and kissed the back of the woman's hand.

“Wah...you are very handsome son, take care of my son well..maybe my chance to take care of him is not much more” said Ratih's mother made Niah re-hugging the thin body of his mother.

“Iya mah...I will take good care of Niah, but mamah must heal first yah” said doctor Arya crouched in front of the woman's wheelchair. He understood very well if he did not obey the words of the woman then it would be fatal for his mental health, he said, especially considering that the first thing he said meant that it was the most profound wish for the woman. Arya did not want to take the risk if he ignored the woman's words it will make him more hit and the disease will get worse and there could be other complications of the disease. Instinct as a doctor who always prioritizes patient safety makes him forced to lie.

While Niah and Anita are stunned to witness Arya's doctor's lies, they don't understand what happened to her.

“Mba Asri, please prepare lunch for this new ma'am, sorry not to have time to cook your favorite Niah, mamah is a bit difficult to stand” the words of Ratih's mother like sembilu slicing Niah's heart, I don't know what to say. He looked at the doctor Arya who tried to speak slowly with her mother. The spirit of life was seen back on his face, unlike when Niah first met him earlier.

They had lunch together, look happy hue on the face of Ratih's mother makes Niah somewhat relieved, although he did not fully understand the attitude of Arya who pretended to be her husband.

After lunch they chatted in the living room, mba Asri unceasingly shed tears watching her employer was willing to talk , for the past three years his employer has been sitting in a wheelchair with a blank stare, various treatments have been done from inside to outside the country but the results are nil, that is one of the reasons so they did not have time to look for the existence of Niah, they can only see the face of Niah back when circulating indecent videos on social media and on TV. At first Pak Adi was very hit with the news considering that the video was clearly drawn the face of his daughter with one of his business partners from Kalimantan. But after a few days there was clarification from the police that Niah was the victim of a pimping cabal that deliberately circulated the video because Niah had escaped from them. Mr. Adi began to look for the existence of Niah, he was very sorry for the situation of his only daughter.

“Niah..!” a voice coming from the door of the family room sounded very surprised mixed with happiness, the figure of a man who was very much missed Niah, Niah ran squatting in his papa arms, crying as he pleased in his father's old chest, Niah, the chest that used to be the backrest when sad and disappointed, but now the chest is not as strong as it used to be. He has weakened to age and the sadness left behind by his only puppet princess.

No words were spoken from the lips of Mr. Adi, he continued to hug the daughter he had long missed.

“Pah..ini our daughter's husband” shouted Ratih's mother while holding the shoulder of doctor Arya, immediately Adi was surprised to see his wife had been able to speak as usual.

“Mamah..” immeasurably happiness Pak Adi watched his wife, he immediately approached his wife and hugged her with a happy feeling.

“Pah...our daughter has married pah..”ucap Ibu Ratih with sparkling eyes. Pak adi looked at Arya with confusion, it was impossible for Niah to have been married, not only a few days this daughter survived from Ninis the pimp and video Niah just circulated.

Arya nodded towards Adi sir and gestured to say his wife's words, Pak Adi finally understood, that it was all a charade.
