Hate But Love

Hate But Love
102 (season 2)



"Syifa harmed Zara? But why mas, Zara never harassed Syifa," said Diana lirih.


Anton sat down in front of Diana. He tried to calm his wife. That is the reality and cannot be denied. Syifa was like a wild girl who was obsessed with the wealth they had. Syifa would not accept it if anyone wanted to harass her.


"That's the truth, baby. Don't cry anymore" said Anton and he gently kissed Diana's forehead. Diana did not expect that Syifa would do it. And it made her feel guilty.


Anton requests that all be kept secret from everyone including Zidan and Zara. Let them assume that it was purely from an accident as Zara was less careful.


***


Days pass. Zara has been hospitalized for five days. But there has been no sign of Zara regaining consciousness. Zara's condition is getting better every day.


Zidan is still faithfully waiting for Zara. He even handed over his office to Fanny. For a while, Zidan did not want to be bothered with any other problems. He wanted to focus on Zara's recovery first. Since Zara entered the hospital, Zidan has not returned home to rest himself. Zidan was too stubborn and he wanted to stay beside Zara.


This morning, the doctor went back to check on Zara as usual. They examined blood pressure, infusions and a hose attached to Zara's nose to support her food.


"How's doc? Why is my wife unconscious?" asked Zidan who was standing next to Zara. The doctor also wondered why Zara had not opened her eyes. Though his condition is also getting better and he should have opened his eyes again.


"We have patience, sir" replied the doctor. They're still watching Zara.


Slowly, Zara's fingers began to move. The panicked Zidan mixed with pleasure to immediately hold Zara's hand and try to wake her up. But the doctor immediately arrested Zidan and shook his head slowly.


"Let it go, we wait until Ms. Zara opens her eyes" the doctor said. Zidan nodded slowly and looked back at Zara intensely.


Slowly, Zara started to move her head. He opened his eyes after several days of unconsciousness. The first time she saw him was her husband. Zidan smiled broadly when he saw Zara staring at him.


"Darling," said Zidan. Zidan immediately sat down on the chair beside Zara's bed.


"We, where are we?" ask Zara slowly.


"Good morning Mrs Zara, I am your personal doctor. Ms. Zara is being treated in hospital. I'm sorry, I checked for a minute ma'am" the doctor said. Zara nodded even though she was still in a daze.


After checking and making sure Zara was okay, the doctor gave orders to the nurse to immediately remove the aids in Zara's body, including a hose attached to her nose that was used to provide food intake.


The doctor took Zidan to his room while waiting for Zara to be removed from her dowry. Right now, Zidan and the beautiful doctor were in one room.


"Look sir, temporarily let Bu Zara be treated here for the next few days to make sure again. I'm just afraid that Ms. Zara is not ready to accept the fact that she has lost her baby" the doctor said.


"Darling, how are you?" zidan asked, approaching Zara. Zara was already crying while leaning on her bed. Zidan went to Zara and hugged her.


"Zidan, tell me where's our baby?" ask Zara who is still in Zidan's arms. Zidan kissed the top of Zara's head repeatedly.


"Darling, you calm down. Because the impact was too hard, our baby could not survive and died" Zidan said. Actually he was not able to tell this to his wife, but sooner or later Zara had to know it too.


"No, you must be lying to me, right?" said Zara as she thrashed and lashed Zidan's arm. Zidan brought his forehead closer and Zara's forehead closer. He rubbed Zara's cheek gently.


"Darling, this is all true. We have lost our baby" Zidan said bitterly. Zara's getting sobbing. He neglected to take care of his own son.


"It's all my fault Zidan. I can't take care of our son. I'm not a good mother" Zara said. She was crying feeling guilty.


Zidan again grabbed Zara and kissed her forehead. He tried to make Zara not to grieve and recount what had happened.


"Rest, you just realized. You also just had surgery. The doctor said he should not move much first. I'll call papa and mommy and tell them you're conscious" Zidan said gently. He put Zara in bed and covered her.


"Don't tell them first. I wasn't ready to meet them" Zara said. He turned his back on Zidan. Zidan rubbed Zara's head and kissed her at a glance.


"All right, I'll accompany you here" Zidan replied. He sat down on the chair beside Zara's bed while watching Zara.


Zara closed her eyes and her tears just flowed. His chest felt tight and he grew sobbing in silence. Zara could not yet accept the fact that her baby was dead due to herself.


"Why should it happen to me? Son, daughter... Forgive my dear mama," Inner Zara. His hand grabbed his blanket and tried not to make a sound. He did not want Zidan to realize that he was currently crying.


Zidan knew that Zara needed time to calm herself down. He also knew that at this moment Zara was secretly crying. Zidan only wanted to make room for Zara so that her heart would be calmer and accept this harsh reality. Zidan was eager to grab his wife's body and let her cry in his arms. But he can't do it right now.


"Darling, I'll stay right here, next to you. We both lost our babies. Do not hold on to that sadness yourself. I'm your husband. You can lean on me and spill that sadness" whispered Zidan. He kissed Zara's ears at a glance. Zara's body was getting shaky. She was crying under her blanket.


"How can I face you, Zidan... I made us lose that baby... I can't face you for now, "Zara's inner self is feeling more and more pain in her chest.


The atmosphere in the room was quiet. Both Zidan and Zara were silent. For hours, Zara remained in her position.


"Don't blame yourself, baby. It wasn't your fault, it was an accident" Zidan's inner self noticed Zara. Unexpectedly, Zidan shed his tears. He feels sad if Zara is in this condition.
