The Part 36
Cring…
“halo brother?” greet a man from across the phone.
“where are you Luqman?” ask Leo who is at the door of the Siregar family home.
“i'm out of town. There was an investigation into the murder case last week. What's up?”
“where is uncle Panji?”
“ayah is attending a seminar for 4 days so will not go home until the day after.”
“bailah.”
“ada what? Something happened?”
“no. I just wanted to visit but the house seems empty, so I called you.” Leo answered while covering up his worries and real reasons.
“ alright then. I close.”
The call ended. Leo sighed heavily and rubbed his face rough. He regretted that his attitude had changed to temperamental lately. And every time he vented his emotions, the victim was Eliza.
And today he is truly sorry. The watch on his wrist pointed at 8. The moon has appeared. He occasionally cursed himself who just drove Eliza away.
Free Leo called many times because Eliza's phone was not taken. Even his wife left without taking him
vehicles.
“where are you dear? I'm sorry..” muttered the truly sorry Leo.
He drove his car slowly while looking at the road that Eliza might have crossed.
Even he did not hesitate to come to the cafe or restaurant a few hours before, and how stupid he was, even though Eliza alone did not bring anything.
“astaga darling. Where can I meet you?”
Leo was almost frustrated. He was confused and did not know where to look. Leo also took the initiative to call the contacts on Eliza's phone.
“helo El? What's up?” greet the woman behind the phone.
“hello, is this dr. Sarah?” leo makes sure someone who talks to him is the same name
tarred.
“iya. Is this Mr. Chandra?”
“iya. Its me. Is Eliza with you?”
“sorry sir if Eliza is with me maybe I won't answer this call. Find him yourself. Speak up
be fine with it.”
“i will do it too. It's just that I don't know where he is?!” leo who has really
frustrations.
“i don't know sir either. But I warned you. If anything happens to Eliza I'll make you follow
both your parents and your in-laws.” The woman behind the phone said firmly and straightforwardly after which she closed the call unilaterally.
Leo was silent for a moment and stopped his car in the middle of a deserted road. He looked at the phone screen. A mobile phone screen showing the happy faces of Eliza and herself at their wedding reception.
“astaga! Were you there at night like this?” leo's jolt stepped on the gas.
He walked down an almost empty street. The night continued and the night grew. Leo stopped his car at
funeral rites. Leo is headed to the funeral.
Leo entered the tomb without fear. Only the flame of the lamp on his phone and the moon bright enough from the sky illuminated his path. He was heading towards the funeral that the two of them had last visited.
Leo heard the sound of crying approaching. He no longer cared who was crying. Bottom line
keep moving towards its goal.
When he got there, he saw a woman who did not sing to him. The woman who came out a few hours ago
from home. The woman was crying so much, alone, drowning her face on her knees and sitting limp between her mother and father's headstones.
“hiks...hiks...hiks...” Eliza continued to cry even though she realized that someone was now in front of her, but she did not dare to turn her head because she realized where she was at that time.
“sayang, it's me. I'm sorry yes.” Leo said as he squatted down and softened Eliza's head.
Eliza's cry became more. In Eliza's mind right now was her guilt that made the occupants
it was like her husband that she missed today.
“honey, don't cry anymore. It's all my fault. Please don't cry anymore.” Said Leo already
not strong to hear Eliza's cry and then join her tears while hugging Eliza's body.
“already, let's go home. I don't want you to be sad anymore. Forgive your husband.” Said Leo who tried not to show his sadness and held his voice so as not to shake.
Eliza who thought for a long time, there arose fear in her. Especially when Leo accords ‘pulang’. Eliza is still in her imagination that Leo will not look for her. He also tried to let go of his embrace. But almost in vain, the energy of the person who hugged him was quite strong.
“lease!! Unhand me!! I don't want to go home!! Let go of me ghost!!” the rebellious Eliza shouted in Leo's arms.
Leo who was surprised by Eliza's attitude was almost confused in the middle of the funeral.
“sayang it's me. I'm your husband.” Said Leo which made Eliza calm and raised her face.
“husband?” eliza said softly who then dared to raise her face.
How shocked to see her husband there. His body immediately grabbed the body of the man in front of him. He hugged Leo's body with possessiveness.
“we go home now.” Said Leo who was then only taken by Eliza.
They arrived home without a word. Eliza also kept hugging Leo's body. Likewise, Leo hugged Eliza possessively while not wanting Eliza to leave again.
When morning came, Leo woke up with a sore body because their position did not change hugging each other. His eyes caught a woman with her innocent face still asleep.
Leo got up from the bed and headed to the bathroom to clean his body. Eliza who let him sleep in that bed had no sign of waking up.
After Leo cleansed his body. He intends to wake Eliza to immediately clean her body. Remembering last night Eliza was sitting in the middle of a funeral.
“sayang, dear Liza, wake up. It's morning.” Said Leo while gently stroking Eliza's head.
Leo was a little surprised by the sleeping woman. He heard the sound of his breathing slightly weakening. Even Eliza's body didn't move in the slightest, unlike usual.
Every time the two of them woke up, Eliza would definitely wake up first. Or if Leo wakes up
eliza will realize first when she finds out that the side of the bed is empty.
But this time it was different, many times Leo called his name, his body showing no response. Eliza's face also paled, her lips turned blue, even her eyes kept closed.
“ah shit!”
The panicked Leo immediately lifted Eliza's body and took her to the hospital. There, Leo is only anxious to see Eliza's unmoved body, though her body begins to improve as infuse fluid enters through her bloodstream.
“what happened?” ask Sarah who just followed Leo who was holding Eliza when she was new
entering the hospital.
“what about the situation doc?” ask Leo who is very worried.
“he was just exhausted and seemed to be hungry too. Hm, nothing serious, it's just that maybe master should take care of dr. Eliza is even better. Her age is still too young. Do not make it too tired or excessive stress.” Clearly dr. Andra who had just taken care of Eliza and quite surprised the two people who were in front of her.
“apa?!” exclaims Leo and Sarah are surprised to make dr. Andra was also shocked because of the shrieking of the voices of the two people.
Eliza also began to wake up.
“ada what?” eliza asked with a raucous voice that began to open her eyes.
“nothing dear.” Said Leo while hiding his happiness who was afraid of being too excessive and
given Eliza's still weak condition.
“sorry sir, can we talk for a while in my room.” Said dr. Andra answered with a nod of Leo.
“I will keep it.” Said Sarah firmly and only taken by Loe who was a little relieved to see his wife
have realized.
“aku go first yes.” Said Leo in a soft tone that Eliza missed.
Leo followed dr. Andra went into her room. Eliza was wondering about herself
himself when he knew that he was in the ER.
“why am I here?” ask Eliza in surprise.
“you fainted. It's even terrible. Your blood flow isn't even smooth.” Clearly Sarah while sitting next to Eliza's bed and developing a happy smile remember the words of dr. Andra just now.
“why are you happy to see me sick, huh?” eliza said she felt uncomfortable because of Sarah's smile.
“how I'm not happy. My sister this one will soon be a mother.” Sarah said this time she was happy.
“don't joke. What did you say?”
“you're pregnant El.”
