GRUDGE (I'm Not A Shadow)

KOMA

Jack is in front of the children's room. He saw his son writhing inside the Incubator from the transparent glass of the room.

He cried, wanting to feel like he was holding his little daughter's body. “Daddy would love to hold and pet you, baby,” Jack said softly. He linked his fingers to the transparent glass.

One month later, Jack and Mayang's babies were brought home. Jack can take care of it at home, while Mayang. It's been a month, but there's been no progress. The situation is still the same, namely KOMA.

Jack purposely, brought his wife home. He wants his wife to be treated at home and placed with her baby. Jack also brought in a nurse who was assigned to care for the baby.

“What about your son? Have you slept?” marco asked his brother.

“Already, just now!” Jack sat his ass on the edge of his wife's bed.

“If your baby is asleep, you better sleep too. It's very late!”

“I'm not sleepy, Brother,” said Jack as he clasped his wife's fingers.

“Sleep, Jack. If you're sick, what about your wife and kids?” Marco looked with pity at his brother. If at that time he did not let Mayang ride alone to the top floor, surely the incident would not happen and Mayang would not be in a coma like that.

“Emm.. All right, I'm going to bed soon,” Jack told Marco. Upon hearing Jack's words, Marco immediately walked out of the room.

After Marco, Jack kissed his wife's hand. “Honey, wake up dong. How long do you want to be like this? Aren't you tired of sleeping?” Jack spoke softly in his wife's ear. He strongly believed that his wife heard all of his words.

“Didn't you miss me? Don't you want to hug me and our son? You know what, our daughter. She is beautiful, more beautiful than you. Hehehee! You will be envious!” Jack chuckled to himself, as if he was actually chatting with his wife. Her lips kept laughing, but it coincided with her laughter. Tears flowed down her cheeks.

“Wake, Mayang. I promise, if you wake up. We'll leave the hustle and bustle of this city, we'll go with our daughter to a place away from the hustle and bustle of the crowd. A place of peace, where people are kind-hearted. Not like in this city!”

Unknowingly and known by Jack, Mayang tears dripped in the corner of his eyes. It was a sign, that Mayang really heard all the words of her husband during this time.

Jack kissed his wife's forehead, a month without seeing the smiles, cries and silly questions of his wife. Makes him so miss.

Jack fell asleep in the chair next to his wife's bed. His hand continued to hold Mayang's fingers.

The next morning, he felt movement from his wife.

“K-k-kak..” call Mayang with a clean.

“Sister Dean, Brother Marco, Sam!” his yell.

The three people who heard Jack's screams, became shocked. The three of them immediately ran towards Jack's room, Mayang and his son.

“What's up?” ask the three men in unison.

“Call the doctor, my wife is conscious,” Jack said. Makes the three people happy to hear it.

“I, I'll take Kenzo to see the doctor!” said Marco. Marco immediately ran out of the room, and approached Kenzo who was sitting on the edge of the pool. Apparently, the young man was moody.

“Ken, accompany me to the hospital!” shout Marco.

“Who is sick?” ask Kenzo with a flat face.

“The wife of Jack is conscious,” replied Marco. “Come hurry!”

Kenzo immediately got up from his seat, and followed Marco out of the house.

Not without reason, Marco brought Kenzo. Marco wants, Kenzo immediately forgets the past. Marco wants Kenzo to start a new life with them.

“You're great!” kenzo spoke to Marco.

“Who? Me!” point Marco to himself.

“Yes! Who else?”

“Great what?” marco asked with a serious face.

“Great because quickly, you can forget your fine. Forgetting past events and quickly, you can mingle and join them,” Kenzo said with a pitiful smile. His eyes looked red and were ready to let out a clear crystal.

“While I am, I find it hard to blend in with them. I feel unworthy to be around you,” said Kenzo. Now, her tears had completely fallen.

“Nothing is inappropriate, Ken. We're all the same, you know that, right? Who I was before. If we can eliminate the hatred in this heart, surely we will be able to see the sincerity of others.” Marco patted Ken's shoulder slowly.

“You know! We are all victims, victims of a Brahma Widjahja. Victims of evil and greed. Let alone your family that notabe others, his wife and children he sacrificed to achieve his goals.”

Kenzo was speechless, he stared at Marco's face intensely. He digested all the words spoken from Marco's lips.
