EVEN THOUGH MY WIFE IS BLIND

42. Message From Rio

Almost a month passed, and the patience in Soraya's heart had also run out. Soraya was so upset. He went on a rampage by throwing down everything within his reach. Anger was controlling him at the time.

"You're playing me, aren't you? You think I can't pay? Whatever I pay..." Shouted Soraya blindly to Rio who was looking at her with pity from the corner of the room.

"Who are you really? What plan are you thinking of me? Why is there no certainty yet?" Soraya's insistence is getting inflamed.

Eventually, he began to get tired. He leaned against the corner of the closet, then dropped down there. He took his knees and cried.

"I'm bored... I'm tired of being cooped up here, locked up in the dark of my world..." Bump Soraya with a soft-sounding voice on the sidelines sobs her tears.

Seeing that Soraya had started to calm down a bit, Rio started to approach then crouched down before Soraya. "Patience a little more, Soraya... The cornea graft has a procedure. Must find a clean and healthy cornea..." Persuade Rio carefully.

"Lied..." Ketus Soraya as if she did not receive any explanation from Rio.

"At the hospital there was a patient who had advanced cancer... The doctor's prediction is that his age will not be long, and his cornea is also very good. He was also willing to donate his corneas after he died..." Rio said trying to make Soraya understand.

Soraya. Suddenly his face looked confused. "Died? The eyes of the dead?"

"Yes... There was no way a living person could donate his eyes... Doctors wouldn't approve of that anyway..." Obviously Rio.

"Huh?" Soraya was stunned to hear Rio's speech. "It's so bad of me... Then I'm so mean, huh?" Soraya's nod to herself so suddenly.

"Evil how? You're not doing anything..." Denying Rio.

"Every time I think it's impatient to see again, it means that every time I expect someone's death..." Soraya felt guilty.

Rio held Soraya's shoulder. "That's the nature, Soraya..."

"No..." Soraya shook her head quickly. "Save the patient... Don't expect his eyes for me. From today on, I will learn to better appreciate the flaws in myself..." Soraya.

"It is impossible to expect his recovery, Soraya... I'm surrendering..." Denied Rio giving up.

Soraya felt Rio's shoulder then slowly got to his cheek.

PLAAKKS

One slap landed hard on Rio cheek until he himself was shocked by it.

Rio just fell silent to receive that slap. He no longer dared to look at Soraya's windy face.

"You're a doctor, right?" Hardik Soraya while groping Rio chest until it ends on his chin. He gripped Rio's chin furiously.

"What do you deserve to be called a doctor, huh?" Shouts again. Soraya's teeth churned in restraint from the anger that was stirring her soul.

"heal her... Don't think of me, and never give up until the end..." Soraya's orders are still controlled by anger.

Rio held the hand of Soraya who was currently clutching her arm, then slowly released herself from the grip of Soraya.

"If I come home late tonight, come to the hospital... I want a check up... Tomorrow you will see again, Soraya... I'll call my close friend to help you..." Rio said. He got up from the front of Soraya and went out of his room.

Soraya. "Rho..."

Soraya's first call towards Rio made her footsteps stop. He turned his head for a moment to his right side, but then resumed his steps.

Rio closed the room door. He leaned against the wall next to the door, then slowly knocked himself down. Suddenly he was crying by himself and sobbing there.

Rio got back up and came out of his house with a stagger. He felt the world turning at that moment. With gontai, he kept trying to step into the street to find a taxi.

****

Soraya had been asleep next to the closet since the incident. He recalled Rio's message before leaving. He tried to feel anything to find the whereabouts of his watch.

Long enough to search, he finally found the clock under the bed. His watch was slammed when he got angry this afternoon.

He felt a soft clock hand that was not coated with glass so he knew the clock was in what number.

"Rho..." Call Soraya while walking slowly in a direction she herself does not know. When his hand reached the wall, he quickened his pace in search of the existence of the door.

Soraya looked panicked. He found the door of the room after repeatedly tripping over the object he himself threw earlier. Several times calling, there was no telling from Rio at all.

"Do I have to go to the hospital?" Soraya muttered hesitantly.

Soraya was still waiting, but somehow he waited, the signs of Rio's arrival did not exist.

He slowly walked while looking at the wall, looking for the existence of the outer door of the house.

The cold weather is gripping. He kept walking down the street. His sharp hearing captures the sound of a car engine roaring from behind him. He hopes to get a ride to Mitra Cahaya hospital, but even the deafening long horn he gets.

Along with that loud bang followed. His body shivered in fear when it heard the screams of someone asking for help. Without a second thought Soraya rushed towards the voice.

"God... What have I done?" Soraya tried to put her hand into the car. "Give me your hand..."

Luckily, the people who lived there quickly arrived and drove Soraya along with the victims of the accident to the nearest hospital.

"How's he doing, Doc?" Soraya asked worriedly.

"He had a very hard impact... We'll wait for the patient's family to follow up..." The doctor explained.

"What hospital is this, Doc?"

"Alaskan Hospital, Miss..."

Soraya is increasingly haunted by feelings of guilt. Until the crash victim is conscious, Soraya is secretly monitoring his progress.

"Take me to Mitra Cahaya hospital, sir..." Pinta Soraya to the taxi driver he was riding in.

"Good, Miss..."

Arriving at Mitra Cahaya hospital, Soraya searched for Rio's whereabouts. He asked the entire hospital about the doctor there named Rio.

"Sorry, miss, there's no doctor here named Rio..." Answer one of the doctors at the hospital.

"There's no way he's fooled me so far..."

"Wait, Miss... Is Miss looking for Rio Anggara?" Another doctor came over.

"Aggara Rio?" Soraya looks confused. "I also don't know her name is Rio Anggara..."

"Miss Soraya, isn't she?"

"Really... I'm Soraya..." Soraya replied quickly.

"That means Rio Anggara is what Miss is looking for..." Said the Doctor.

"But, isn't there no doctor named Rio?"

"He's not a doctor, but a cancer patient in this hospital..."

Soraya. He was really surprised to hear the doctor.
