Handsome CEO Shadow Wife

Stories of the Past

Dian and Lestari looked at each other, trying to weigh whether it was necessary to tell the story of the past in a time like this, while Dhatu stared at the two in turn.

"Did I ever make Mas Dirga hurt and feel guilty like now?"

"How's Dirga doing?" tanya Darma was standing next to Dhatu.

Rina and Krishna rubbed Dhatu's arms and smiled soothingly. Dian and Lestari breathed a sigh of relief because everyone was already among them, until there was a transfer of conversation that could delay what they should have told Dhatu before their wedding day. Perhaps, the two of them did not feel foreign anymore.

"Mas Dirga is still fighting inside, Pa. Please help his prayer," said Dhatu trying hard. Darma and Sanjaya hug Dhatu in turn, saying encouraging words for the woman.

After exchanging news and stories, they all sat on the benches in front of the operating room. Lestar and Dian sat flanking Dhatu, while the others tried to make room for the woman.

Dian said that when she heard the shocking news from Lestari, she immediately contacted Rina and asked for help to be delivered to the hospital. Actually, she did not want to bother her son's best friend, but Dian's mind was chaotic and there was no way her husband could bring his own car from Jakarta to Bogor. Lucky Rina wanted to help them and invited Krishna to come along to be their driver. Dhatu is very lucky to have so many people who love him.

"Tu .. Have you eaten?" tanya Lestari rubbed Dhatu's hand. Dhatu shakes weakly. She did not want to leave her husband struggling alone.

"What the hell are you, Tu? You're pregnant, don't think about yourself. Pity a little bit about your baby, Tu." Dian. He shook his head to see his daughter who was always stubborn.

"We eat first. There is your father who can keep a while here," said Lestari while standing.

Dhatu. "I want to stay here, Ma."

Dian clucked bitterly. "Tu .. now is not the time to be stubborn. Remember son. You want to make Dirga even sadder if you see you like this?"

Dhatu's tears fell again. In fact, he had promised himself to be strong and not cry in front of his family, but he failed. Imagining the struggle Dirga blinded his heart grievous not play.

Lestari smiled and gently rubbed Dhatu's face. "We ate in the hospital canteen. After that, go straight back here. Your mom and dad will be with you. Mama please?" Lestari looked at Dhatu with a pleading gaze.

Dhatu no longer wants to be stubborn. She had to think about her baby because now it was not only herself that she was tormenting, but she was also torturing their future baby. Dhatu nodded, making Dian and Lestari smile in relief. The two women clasped Dhatu's hands tightly and bid farewell to all who were waiting there. The two lead Dhatu's weak body towards the hospital canteen.

Lestari accompanies Dhatu sitting down, while Dian buys food for his son. Lestari felt the same worry. His son is struggling, while his daughter-in-law and future grandson are torturing themselves..Really, his heart felt sad watching the scene.

"Ma ... What did your mother say? What happened in our past? Before we got married, did we meet each other?" Dhatu looked at his mother-in-law with a questionable gaze, demanding to get an answer of his every question.

"You are younger among them. You know, Dirga who used to ask you to be his bride, therefore your mother and mama made a deal to marry you after adulthood," said Lestari while gently rubbing the face of her daughter-in-law. He could see the shock on Dhatu's face.

"I really don't remember if we've been friends in the past."

"It's only natural that your mother asked a psychiatrist to erase your memory of Dirga." Lestari took a deep breath and greeted him slowly, "it used to be that while playing with you, Dirga fell into the river and her head was stoned. Dirga is in a coma and you cry constantly, feeling guilty for making Dirga crash. We all told you that it was an accident."

Dhatu still feels surprised by the story he just heard today. That's why his memory of childhood is so minimal?

"You're forced to ask a psychiatrist to hypnotize you. To forget Dirga who turned out because of the accident also became forgotten to you. We think if you forget each other is a good thing. Although we had a dream to make a message, but we do not want to force you who are traumatized because of the accident."

"I've always troubled her," Dhatu began sobbing, "forgive me, Ma."

Lestari hugged Dhatu, then rubbed the woman's back. "That's why my mom doesn't want you to know this. Actually, a few days after your wedding, Mama told Dirga everything and wished she didn't treat you badly anymore. She was just as surprised as you were and thought mama was making things up, but she was sure she would slowly remember all the past events and come back to accept you, "Lestari smiled as she let go of her embrace.

"After the accident, Dirga's sister was diagnosed with cancer by a doctor, Dirga was still too small and she had to deal with all of that after waking up from a coma. Therefore, we keep you away."

"What's Brother Delia ...."

"He died at a young age. His passing traumatized Dirga and feared seeing someone fall ill. Delia often complained of abdominal pain and underestimated her illness, which turned out to be a critical illness that was difficult to cure."

Now Dhatu begins to understand why Dirga is so frightened when he looks unwell. The cause is Delia. The older brother who left and died of such a deep trauma. Dhatu's tears are flowing more and more. He really doesn't know, if in childhood, they have gone through so many difficult times. Dhatu never thought if there was such a story between them. A story that was wiped out of his mind.

"So .. You must be strong and no longer feel guilty. Do not repeat the same mistakes that will keep you away. Pray and stay strong, ask God to give Dirga back to all of us," Lestari clasped Dhatu's hand tightly and smiled gently, the smile was contagious to Dhatu. Dhatu nodded with confidence.

Yes, he cannot make the same mistake, he does not want to be separated, let alone forget the only man who owns his heart. Dhatu could not be far from Dirga. He wanted her to always be in his life. Accompany his days and hold his hand.

"This time, I will be strong for Mas Dirga, Ma. I'll always be by his side."

The two share a smile. Yes, this time, Dhatu is strong for his little family.
