Forced to Get Off Bed

21. Don't match us!

Zeya washed her face in the hospital toilet sink while staring at her reflection in the mirror.

Ambar must mostly eat drugs that make his mind so fucked.

How could Ambar ask Zeya to be his successor. And marry Digta?

Now that Zeya understood, why Digta's attitude was so strange to her earlier. In fact, they have agreed to get along. But, Digta suddenly ignored Zeya and refused to look at Zeya.

Digta must have known about this.

“Aisssh!” Zeya kicked the sink so badly. But, his legs were not how strong it was even in pain. “Aduhhh...aduhh.” Not to mention that there were people inside the toilet watching Zeya with strange gazes.

Zeya was wrong. He rushed out and followed Ambar in a special round of chemotherapy.

Zeya looked over from the glass window, watching Ambar with a sad look. Unknowingly her tears were flowing. Zeya wasn't ready if Ambar left her that soon.

Zeya's phone rings. An unknown number twinkled on his phone screen.

Zeya frowned, but still received the call.

“Ha—“

“Where is Ambar?” The voice across there instantly cut off Zeya's speech.

“Who is this?”

“Where's the ad? Ambar is with you?”

“Mas Digta?”

“You don't misunderstand me first. I was forced to ask for your number with your friend and call you because Ambar did not pick up my phone. I'm home, but I don't see Ambar. Neighbor said he saw Ambar go with you in a taxi. Ambar where now?” Digta spoke at length. His tone was so worried about Ambar. Making Zeya reflect, how could Zeya get married to Digta, at a time when Digta loved Ambar so much. Also, Zeya just wants to marry the man she loves.

A beautiful and happy marriage is Zeya's dream.

“Zeeya! You are with me, aren't you?!” Digta snapped which made Zeya aghast.

“Eh, yes, Mas. I'm again in the hospital with Mba Ambar.”

“Ngapain?”

“Against Mba Ambar chemotherapy.”

Digta was silent for a moment. “Already, I followed to there.”

“Iya, Mas.”

The connection was also cut.

***

Digta drove his car at high speed. Digta did not want to miss the moment with Ambar, even though he had to accompany Ambar chemotherapy.

At once, Digta wanted to talk about her and Ambar's departure to Malaysia for treatment. Because Digta has applied for leave at his college.

After arriving and parking the car in the hospital basemant, Digta immediately entered the hospital. Towards the floor where Ambar chemotherapy.

In the hallway, Digta saw Zeya sitting in the high chair alone. The woman looked up her head while leaning her head against the wall. His eyes were peaceful.

Digta being clumsy must be near Zeya, as he is unlikely to marry this snot boy.

“Which cup?” Digta sat down next to Zeya. But his eyes were looking straight ahead.

Hearing Digta's voice, Zeya opened her eyes and looked in shock. “Eh, Mas has arrived.” Zeya put some distance between them.

“Which cup?” Ask Digta again.

“In that room.” Zey pointed to the right.

Digta said nothing but got up and approached Ambar's room. He could only stare at Ambar from the glass window, the woman he loved so much was lying weakly.

Digta couldn't see this. So, he sat back in the waiting chair.

“I already know,” said Zeya suddenly.

Made Digta look over.

“Mba Ambar match us, right,” said Zeya again.

Digta. “Who told you?”

Digta grinning. “Never dream, Zeya.”

“Dih, who also dreamed of marrying Mas Digta. So, Mas Digta don't get geer huh! Because at any time, I would not be his wife Mas Digta.”

Digta laughs. A terrible laugh if heard. “You think I want to?” The laughter disappeared. “Ambar will stay alive, I will bring it to Malaysia tomorrow.”

“What?” Zeya.

Digta did not need to answer Zeya's shock. Because shortly after, Ambar had finished chemotherapy and left the room.

“Loh, Ms Digta is here too?” Ask Ambar in shock.

Digta got up straight from the chair. “You're done?” Digta embraced Ambar to leave immediately. Leaving Zeya alone who was still sitting on the chair.

Ambar stopped walking, then looked back. “Zey, ayuk.”

Zeya got up and followed their steps from behind.

****

Zeya sat in the back seat of the car while watching Digta who kept holding Ambar's hand and kissing Ambar's back.

Digta loved Ambar so much, so even if Zeya did not marry him, Zeya was sure that Digta would have preferred to be a widower for life.

“Mbar, there's something I want to talk to you about.” Digta started a conversation in the car.

“Why, Mas?” Ask Ambar curiously.

“I've applied for leave for the next week.”

“What are you doing for leave, Mom? Feelings, we have nothing to plan a vacation, deh.”

“I'll take you to Malayasia, Mbar.”

Ambar froze instantly.

“I'll accompany you on spinal cord transpaltation in Malaysia.”

“Mas...” Breath Ambar heavy. “I won't do that.”

“Why, Ambar? Why did you refuse?”

“For what, Mas? I told you, everything will be free.”

“Nothing is free in this world, Ambar. That's why we have to try first.”

“I just don't want you to be disappointed later, Mas.”

“I will not be disappointed, whatever the result I will receive with a roomy chest, Ambar.”

“Mas...” Ambar squeezed, touched her husband's hand. “Enough, I don't want to do anything. I just want to live quietly, until the time comes God calls me, Mas.”

“Omong empty, Ambar! I won't be ready to lose you. And I would not, if anyone replaces your figure in my life.”

“Mas...”.

“I don't want to, Ambar. Don't match me with your sister. Even if you leave later, I'd better be single for life.” Digta tightly gripped the steering wheel until his knuckles turned white.

Ambar crying. And Zeya himself could do nothing but silently watch their showdown. Zeya will also not approve Ambar's decision.

Finally Digta's car parked in the courtyard of the house. Digta got out of the car first and slammed the door.

Ambat and Zeya were surprised.

“Mba, I agree with Mas Digta's words. I also do not want to replace Mba Ambar. And I'm also not getting married to Mas Digta.”

Ambar looked back. “Zey, Mba please. You have to take care of Mas Digta and also Ciya.”

“I'm sure Mas Digta doesn't need to be taken care of, he's grown. And Ciya? If Mas Digta doesn't raise Ciya alone, he can give Ciya to Mama and me. We will keep Ciya at home.”

“Mba believe, if your destiny is to be together.”

Zeya smirked blandly. “What is this Mba God? It can determine the destiny of man. It's all just Mba Ambar's wits.”

“Zey, this is the last request from Mba. And Mba wants you to grant Mba's last wish. It's all for Mba, Zey. To make Mba calm in nature there later.”
