Flower Seller Girl

Marry again?

Dion put his phone lazily on the table in front of him after a call a while ago. This morning the table was messy with books scattered by Lily. But now the books are neatly arranged.

Dion's attention was focused on one book, Lily's diary at the top. His hand was then moved to grab the square object.

Slowly the other hand stroked the peach-colored book lovingly, as if it was Lily's form. All she knows, in this diary book, Lily usually spills all her outpouring of heart.

He carefully opened sheet by sheet, as if afraid to make the sheets of paper will be torn. He had read it once before. Even now he would dare to read it because only with this could he treat his longing for Lily. His hand continued to move open the sheets until he finally found a scratch of ink writing Lily that attracted his attention towards the last page.

Papa's giggles were weird this afternoon. Papa repeatedly said let me be the same Mas Adnan should be able to look after each other like siblings. So that papa can go quietly when the time has come. What try. Papa is scared.

It was always close to him when many customers were queuing at the store. Papa also repeatedly said let me be a strong woman. What I am less powerful. Lifting a giant cyclic plant and its pot I can also. Basic papa.

Dion smiled for a moment before continuing to read Lily's writing on another page.

I don't know why suddenly I want a neighbor mango in front of the house. So tantalizing. I told Mas Dion to let him ask for it. Eh he was angry and instead bought another mango. I want the mango of the neighbor. I also want Mas Dion to climb and pluck it. I thought I wanted a lot, yeah. Rich pregnant woman cravings again.

Dion saw the last sentence that Lily had written. But it can still be read clearly. Maybe when writing it Lily feels ambiguous or careless. Dion's face was filled with regret. If he knew at that time Lily was cravings, he would suppress his narcissistic nature to ask the neighboring mango for the sake of pleasing Lily. Dion continued reading Lily's writing.

This morning with a heavy heart I had to let go of Mas Dion. Even now I hope Mas Dion cancels his departure and chooses to go home. I don't know why it feels rich to be left forever.

Unknowingly, Dion's tears flowed down the river. Suppose he obeyed Lily and told her not to go. Suppose that... Uh. He didn't want to think that would make him sicker. A pain that does not bleed. Pain that cannot be expressed in words.

Dion hesitated to open the next page. Whether you want to continue reading or not. His curiosity will pour out Lily's heart as big as his heart is very sick. Finally Dion's hand moved according to his conscience to open the next sheet.

Dion saw a picture of usg there. Dion was getting a lot more broken in a row, really. She believes it was the result of Lily's pregnancy. Recollecting how happy mom was when she told herself about Lily's pregnancy. Recollecting again how shocked he was when he heard the news. But then turned happy because he also craved the presence of children in his marriage.

With trembling hands Dion took the ultrasound photo. He watched for a moment to try to decipher the picture. Not understand. He saw there was a bag and he believed that it would be his son. Long ago.

Her eyes are now fixed on Lily's next writing.

It turned out that because I was pregnant so this morning my head was dizzy and nauseous, even until I fainted. This is what pregnant looks like. I can't wait to tell Dion. I guess he's happy, yeah.

A year has passed without any change happening. Except for Clara and her accomplices. The judge put the woman in jail for a long period of time following a fine to be paid. While the thugs who have killed papa, sentenced to death.

The walls of this room bear witness to how pitiful the poor girl was. Lily has been transferred from one hospital to another to get better treatment. The best psychiatric doctors in this country have been called to overcome it, even from abroad have repeatedly examined Lily. Psychotherapy and anti-depressant drugs have been given. But there is no change. Lily's body seemed to be opposed to healing.

Dion stared at Lily's body from a distance. Currently several mental doctors from different countries were handling it inside, he was on a rampage. That is how it is every day even every time if it is not injected tranquilizers. Even several times his hands and feet had to be tied up for attempted suicide.

It's not that Dion won't come to calm Lily down. Each time he approached his wife, Lily would be increasingly hysterical and called out that Dion was one of the causes of the death of his father and fetus. Yeah, thats.

Some time later the best doctors in his country came out as well. Dion immediately approached. “How, Doctor?” tanyanya in english. Although he had seen what happened inside through the door gap, but a trace of hope for Lily's recovery he pinned on the heart. Hopefully this time the doctors will pronounce a different diagnosis from the previous doctor.

“The disruption of his brain function is really fatal as well as his mental. He's really hard to communicate with. None of our questions or statements have been properly addressed. He just screamed and shouted, ” the bright doctor who had a body height of almost two meters was with pity. “Excuse us,” he continued again with a sorry face.

The doctor who works at this mental hospital– who became the doctor Lily– gave some advanced information that basically there was no significant change to Lily after she participated in the examination earlier.

“Then how can I get my wife cured, Doctor?” Dion's frustrated. I don't know what else he's gonna have to do for Lily's recovery.

“Today you've given your best. The rest we leave to the Powerful,” the doctor's chimpanzee encouraged Dion.

“How?” tiara asked as Dion had just emerged from the entrance of the house. Tiara has been in Indonesia for a week. This is the second time he has visited Indonesia for a year after a cruel fate befell Lily. This time, only he came.

Tiara also contributed to Lily's treatment by bringing in great doctors. But it all feels in vain.

Dion shook his head weakly and dropped his body on the sofa. Mommy and Papi were there too. The hue of sadness that emanated on the parents' faces was very obvious. Dion felt his parents were getting older. I don't know... Maybe because for a year this is only sadness felt by papi and mami, just like him.

For some time they were all silent in their respective minds. Until Tiara opens her voice by saying, “you should get married again, Dion.”
