Forced to Get Off Bed

22. Trapped In The Shadows

Life is about travel, right? So, just enjoy the process, do not think about the ending.

Although in fact, Ambar is ready with the ending that God has determined for him. Ambar is also ready if someday, God will take his life.

It's just that the process Ambar is facing right now is not easy. Moreover, making her husband and sister united? That's an impossibility. But fate no one knows, right?

“I have decided, that we will still go to Mayalsia. You just set the time, tomorrow or the day after.” Digta opened his voice after a long time they just remained silent while sitting on the bed.

Ambar looked up from the phone in front of him. “Mas, I've booked the villa at the top for tomorrow.” Ambar showed proof of transfer on his phone to Digta.

Digta threw the book he read into the bed, then looked at his wife intently. “Why do you always make your own decisions?” Digta's intonation is rising

“Mas, usually I also make the decision if we want to go on vacation, right?” Ambar's face without sin.

“Ambar, this concerns your health issues. Why do you always behave arbitrarily, when there is something more important than a vacation! That's your treatment.”

Ambar smile. The woman shifted her body closer to Digta, and deliberately leaned her head against Digta's chest.

“Mas, for me, spending time with family for the rest of my life is the most important thing. And I don't want to miss a single moment with you, Mom. I also want to be in your arms every minute, every second.”

If this is the case, Digta can do nothing but surrender. To be honest, he was sad. But, how to express that sadness in front of his dying wife.

Digta was the same, he did not want to miss a single moment with Ambar.

“You yes, Mas. To the top tomorrow? Please ...” Ambar looked up at her husband with a face full of pleading.

Again, Digta took a deep breath. “Iya,” said briefly.

“I can't come, Mba, I have to go to college!” So said Zeya after hearing the invitation from Ambar this morning.

Now, they are having breakfast together.

“Holiday is a few days. Later Mas Digta will help get permission with your lecturers,” said Ambar clearly that made Digta choke on his food.

“Ambar...” Digta glares. Why bring her name again.

“Mas...” But, again Ambar issued a sharp move. The woman simply touched the hand of Digta who was on the dining table. “I've asked permission with teacher Ciya for a holiday, and you also have to help Zeya.”

“Mba, I can't take a day off. I have to go to college. Yes, right, Mas!” Zeya gave the code from the look in her eyes at Digta.

“Ng—iya.” Digta was confused as to what to answer.

“Mas, please dong.” Ambar begged again.

Digta cannot be digested. His heart also melted to see Ambar's face.

Finally, Digta could not dispute Ambar's request. “Yaudah yes, later I will help Zeya get permission.”

“Isss!” Now Zeya is upset. To the point of kicking Digta's foot under the table.

Making Digta slice in pain. “Aw.”

“Why, Mas?” Ask Ambar in shock.

“Nothing.”

***

Again Zeya is caught up in this ridiculous journey! Why does Zeya have to follow where this is going.

Though Zeya is young, can still spend a lot of time with friends and girlfriends.

Not in this way!!!

Zeya sat in the back seat while staring at the window next to her with a gloomy feeling. While Ciya continues to sing in the car and enjoy this trip full of joy.

“Tante Zeya, know the song Jalan-Jalan to the Top of the Mountain is not?” Ciya asked a question.

to be honest, Zeya was lazy to respond or return Ciya's gaze. Remembering, he was so overbearing with this trip.

But, Ciya's innocent face made her heart melt.

“Not a Walk to the top of the mountain, Ciya. But, going up and down to the top of the mountain,” said Zeya finally with a smile.

“Oh, wrong yes means. Um, how's the song, Auntie?”

“Gini, up and up to the top of the mountain very high. Left-right I see, many cypress trees ha ha ha ha.” Zeya is singing. Ciya followed the song and they sang together.

Without Zeya knowing, if Digta stole a glance towards Zeya from the front rearview mirror. And without Digta noticing, Ambar also noticed Digta who was looking towards Zeya. Ambar commented a smile.

***

After a long journey because a little stuck in traffic. Finally, they arrived at the villa that Ambar had booked.

The villas are quite spacious and luxurious, and the view around the villa is also very good. From the villa to the tea garden is quite close.

Zeya pulled out a cell phone from inside the bag and decided to take a walk around the villa.

“Zey, where are you going?” Ask Ambar see Zeya way out of the villa.

“Mau sightseeing, Mba,” Zeya replied.

“Do not go far, it is already dusk.”

“Okay, Mba.”

Digta ignored Zeya's departure and sat down on the sofa with Ciya.

“Honey, good cold weather like this eating noodles, deh,” said Digta gave a code to his wife who had just sat in the chair.

Ambar chuckles amusedly. “You want me to masakin noodles?”

“If you don't mind.”

***

Zeya continued to point her camera towards the face while taking a selfie. Zeya was most happy to see the nice scenery a little, because she could look for opportunities for photographs. In fact, without Zeya noticing, he had arrived at a pine forest.

Zeya retreated in order to get the right photo for him. Without realizing, if Zeya's feet touch the end of the hill, make Zeya slip and fall rolled down to the bottom of the hill.

“Aaawwww!” Zeya grimaced as her leg was injured from being hit by wood.

Zeya looking for the whereabouts of his cell phone that out of nowhere, he tried to get up and reach the hill to bring it back up. But his legs hurt too much and the hill was too high. It is very difficult for Zeya to reach the top of the hill.

Where the day is dark, and the forest conditions are terrible.

“TOLONGGGG!” Zeya tried to scream. But all that was heard was the sound of birds chirping.

Zeya scowled and felt anxious to cry because she had to be trapped in the forest alone.

“Tolongggg!” Zeya continued to shout tirelessly. Sampiai finally Zeya's voice will run out and she is thirsty.

Zeya sat on the grass crying. “Please, I'm stuck here. Hixss. I'm afraid, hikssss!”

Zeya had no choice but to wait for a miracle. His severely injured leg hinders Zeya's move to climb up the phon and climb up the hill again.

I just want PULAAANGGGGG! Her mind was crying hysterically.

Thundering lightning began to sound, until it made the glass windows in the villa shake.

Ambar peeked out the window and waited for Zeya's unfailing presence.

“Mas, Zeya hasn't come home.” Ambar looked at her husband who was watching television in the living room.

“Iya, ntar again he also came home.” Digta replied casually.

“Mas, I'm worried. Because behind this villa there is a pine forest. He was afraid he was playing

to there.”

“No work once he played there.”

“Mas...” Ambar.

Digta Sangsung got up from the chair. “Iya-iya, I found.”

Digta used a thick jacket because the weather outside was quite cold. And by force he must find the whereabouts of Zeya.

Digta searched around the villa, surrounded the villa, then walked a little towards the uninhabited tea garden, then he walked into a pine forest.

The sky grew darker and thunderous. The wind was blowing too.

Digta kept shouting Zeya's name. “Zeyaaaa! Zeyaaa!”

Zeya heard Digta's voice. The woman tried to stand up, but the wound on her leg got worse.

“M-mas, D-digta!” Zeya tried to scream loudly even though it was difficult.

“Zeyaa...” Digta's screams are getting closer.

Zeya tried to grab a piece of wood and hit something that made a sound.

“Zeeya!” Fortunately Digta had seen the whereabouts of Zeya trapped under the hill. “What are you doing there?”

“I'm hard to move, Mas. My feet hurt a lot.” Zeya tried to speak in a loud voice to be heard by Digta.

“This you, no day other than trouble me ya!”

Zeya pout. “If you don't want to help, no need to say hello!”

“Propay!” Digta tried to go down to the hill while touching the trees around until finally, Digta managed to arrive below.

Digta let out a long sigh looking at the condition of Zeya's legs. “Ckckck, so you do not like to argue your Mba talk. It's what it is, right!”

Zeya could not be angry anymore, because she already felt grateful to be found by Digta. Otherwise, he might have been eaten by the beasts around here. Zeya crying.

“Hiksss, Mas should help me.”

“Udah ah, don't crybaby you. Come quickly, I help stand.” Digta tried to help Zeya stand up.

Now what Digta thought was, how did Digta bring Zeya up the hill in this terrible foot condition.

“Huf!” Digta long.

Shortly thereafter, it rained wide. Digta and Zeya are confused.

“Waduh, how is this?” Digta listened to the surrounding look. Until finally, Digta saw a shack like a warehouse not far from him. “We take shelter first.” Digta took Zeya a step.

But, Zeya's steps were like a snail. Irritated, Digta carried Zeya's body.

“Eh, uh, Massss!” Zeya shouted in panic.

But, Digta did not care because the rain was very heavy. They managed to get into a warehouse and decided to take shelter there.

“We wait here first until the rain subsides.” Digta smashed Zeya's body on the floor.

Zeya gave a glance around this dark room. Then, he looked at Digta suspiciously.

“Awas if I thought the macem-macem, yaaa!” Zeya crossed her arms around her chest.

Digta laughed instead. “Sorry, Zeya. You're not my type. Your body bantet and gembrot like a buffalo.”

What say? A buffalo? He said I was a bully!! Hellowww, this is not a gembrot but a montogg!
