Fat Woman That's Me

67 - The Better

That Day.

Aluna's condition is getting better, he also seemed to sit while leaning peeling the fruit brought by Herry for her.

Herry, Ello and Reni were in this room chatting and talking to Aluna, all laughing at Ello's jokes.

"Darling, can I still walk the doctor said?." Aluna asked who immediately made the atmosphere in the room at once so quiet.

"Of course baby, once you've recovered, we'll go to therapy, now, recover first." Rehan said with a sweet smile to Aluna.

Aluna smiled, but Aluna did not know that in Rehan's heart, she was very sad, she did not know when Aluna would be able to walk, his words earlier only wanted Aluna not to be disappointed, because it said Aluna might be paralyzed for some time.

Aluna returned to tasting her fruit with her smile.

"I live first, baby, I want to buy coffee." Rehan.

"Herry, take care of Aluna for a second." Rehan.

"Yes, replied Herry."

Rehan came out actually to hide his sad face for lying to Aluna. Reni, who knows her brother's heart, comes out to follow Rehan.

"Sister, I'm following Rehan's sister." Reni said, Aluna who saw was astonished.

Rehan sat on a chair in the hospital hallway, bowing his head looking limp. Reni looked and approached the older brother, sitting next to Rehan.

Rehan turned his head when he realized someone was approaching him.

"So why are you sad?." asked Reni slowly.

"I've lied to Reni, I don't even know if she'll ever be able to walk again or not, am I this evil." Rehan said softly, making Reni feel sad to see her brother's current state.

Hearing Reni's words, there was a hint of calmness in Rehan's heart at this moment. Rehan smiled faintly and nodded.

Miss Rose came to visit Aluna when she heard that she had regained consciousness, but when she saw that Aluna was sleeping alone.

"Where are they, why leave them alone?." Ask Miss Rose.

He shakes his head because Aluna who is sick in living alone. Miss Rose slowly approached Aluna, putting the fruit she was carrying on the table beside Aluna.

Aluna heard a slight voice open her eyes and saw her mother-in-law beside her. Aluna smiled at Miss Rose.

"Ma." Calling Aluna made Bu Rose rather surprised.

"Aluna, is Mama bothering you?." Ask Miss Rose. Aluna shakes her head.

Rose smiled at Aluna. "Son, I'm sorry, but you've been mean to you all along, and now you realize that Rehan loves you so much, and you can bring Rehan to a better end." Said Miss Rose

Aluna was somewhat astonished to hear the words of her mother-in-law. "Yes Ma, I've forgiven you since yesterday, after all, I'm not like this because of Mama, why do you apologize again." Answer Aluna. Bu Rose smiled nodding, there were not many words she could say at the moment.

"You want Fruit, Mama will open it for you to eat." Said Miss Rose. Aluna did not refuse, she agreed and immediately Miss Rose opened the fruit for Aluna Eat.

Aluna turned the other way, seeing Rehan appear to be on the doorstep hearing her mother apologize to Aluna. Rehan smiled from behind the door at Aluna, Aluna replied the same.

Rehan then let his Mother and the woman he loved together for a while.
