Exchange Body

Something Strange

"And may you forgive me, dear. Forgive me for all the mistakes I've made with you. I also want to say, I really can't live the life you've been living, Dina. A life that feels so bad because of the treatment of those around you."

As Albi spoke those words in front of his body, a guilty face was very clearly drawn. It seemed, he really felt very sorry for what he had done all this time.

Albi stopped for a moment. He lowered his head for a few moments. Clear circles slowly seeped in the corners of his eyes.

Quickly, the clear dew he wipe so as not to spill. He who is quite fragile remembers how his wife was so steadfast as to stay afloat. Therefore, he also wanted to try with all his might. Trying to stay strong just like his wife. Passing through it all alone with a hardened heart.

Alba raised her head back. He tried to carve a sweet smile for his wife. He kissed the hand with a lot of feeling.

"You're my very strong woman, Dina. You are an amazing woman. You are steadfast through this bitter life of yours. For that, you calm down, baby. I'll be strong too and stay afloat."

"Maybe, exchanging our bodies is a gift from God. God wants me to understand how bitter the life you are living is. He wants me to realize that I have an amazing wife. Which all this time I've been wasting away because of the stupidity I have."

After saying those words, Albi stared fixedly at his own face. He really wanted the face he was looking at to open his eyes. Be aware of what has happened now.

"Oh yes, dear. Tomorrow I'm allowed out of this hospital."

"If for some people, getting out of the hospital is their greatest hope. But it's not with me. Because for me, getting out of the hospital was a bad thing that I had to accept. You see, I won't be this free to meet you, Dina."

"Dina. I really hope you open your eyes before I leave this hospital tomorrow. And I really hope you open your eyes when we're both here. When it was just you and me in this room. Because I don't want anyone to know that we're exchanging bodies right now, baby."

Albi said expectantly. However, that hope is not all going to come true. Because it was not until two minutes of hope that he said, the voices of two people he knew very well were heard in front of the entrance of the room.

Quickly, Albi left the body where Dina was there to avoid her mother and Sela. He did so not out of fear, but out of not wanting to argue and cause trouble again and again. In order not to complicate himself who is now in Dina's body. Giving up was the best way he could do it.

Although he was no longer beside his body, but what his mother and Sela were talking about was still very good. Because their existence is very close, only one curtain apart.

"I can't come here for aunty tonight, tan. There's a sudden job that I have to finish" Sela said.

"Well, auntie can't take full care of Albi tonight, Sel. Aunty there is an important meeting that can not be left. Previously, aunt wished you were taking care of Albi later tonight when aunt is not there. But unfortunately, you are also busy," said mama Albi in a tone filled with disappointment.

"Mm .. How is aunt? We are both busy. But, Albi also has to be there to keep him okay as long as we're not next to him."

"Yes, but that aunt's business is pretty important, Sel. Aunty should meet with an out-of-town client who came this afternoon. Because tomorrow, that client has gone back to where he belongs. Anyway, not good either, if you spend time with such an important client."

"Yes anyway. Can't wait to meet clients. You see, I'm the same auntie, Tan. There's an important meeting I have to go to tonight."

"It's impossible to be her sister, Auntie. Their people have many tasks, which they have to do as long as they're on duty."

"Then? What do we do now?"

Mama Albi stared after the question she asked. While Sela was getting a gaze, did not immediately reply. He even fell silent with his eyes staring back at Mama Albi.

A moment of silence, Sela finally spoke up as well.

"I know what we have to do, Auntie."

"What?" mama Albi asked enthusiastically.

"Please ask Dina to take care of Albi tonight. He will be able to take care of Albi because he was declared cured by the doctor this morning, right?"

"What's!? Huh! You didn't say anything wrong, did you, Cell? Just ... that ... What are you talking about? Aunt didn't hear me wrong, did she?"

"Tante didn't hear wrong. I'm telling you right. We ask Dina to take care of Albi. Think of it as a farewell to Dina. Isn't it hard tomorrow she won't be here anymore, tan?"

"Iy-iya anyway. But aunty doesn't like it when she's close to Albi, Sela. You know, how much a aunt hates her. Don't like aunty when she's close to Albi."

"Aunts. As long as we don't exist, he'll always be with Albi. What, when we need him, we can't use him to do what he always does behind our backs?"

The words immediately made mama Albi silent. All this time, he had never thought that Dina would do what he had forbidden. Because she always thought, Dina was afraid and always obeyed what she said.

"So ...as long as we're not around, she always comes to see Albi, Cell?"

"Yes of course dong, aunt. How could he not come here to see Albi try? The distance between him and Albi's bed was only limited by the curtain."

"You're right too."

"Dina! I know you must have listened to what we've been talking about. You are here now!"

The loud voice of Mama Albi was heard filling the room. Albi who had eavesdropped earlier, certainly could not ignore the call. He also left his bed.
