HEY JUN

91

Atha stepped up with gontai down the hallway of Siloam Hospital Surabaya. The meeting with the two brothers Juna produced a new fact from the pieces of information he got.

What happened between Juna and Diandra, what caused Juna to be frightened when he heard the name Diandra. Everything was answered from the narration of Juna's two brothers.

Atha could not blame Juna. Her husband was just a victim. But somehow her heart ached when she imagined her husband was struggling with Diandra.

Is it wrong for Atha to cry? Is it wrong for Atha to be sad. During the trip to Surabaya, Athalia was incessantly crying. Although Lita had persuaded him many times, giving positive sentences that strengthened him. Atha was still in pain.

He is confused to meet Juna. He wants to get angry, he wants to go on a rampage. However, once again Juna is innocent in this case. Atha just needs a great soul to accept Juna's past. It would be unfair to punish Juna.

Chequek.

Atha is shocked when Juna's nursery door opens before he knocks. Ayesha's figure appears from behind the door with two nurses. Atha was relieved. She was not wrong to leave her husband to her old friend.

"Hey, are you back? Did you get any information about your husband's events?" ask Yesha.

Atha nodded. His face is still gloomy.

"Your husband is sleeping. Since last night he was restless and could not sleep. I had to inject a sedative into him."

"Just do your best!" sahut Atha cold.

"Why? Is something bad going on?" ask Yesha.

Atha was silent, clear circles back flowing down her cheeks. Yesha was shocked. He was curious about Athalia's attitude. Not wanting to be the center of attention, Yesha brought Atha into her room. Yesha would invite Atha to speak from heart to heart.

"Say! What do you know about your husband?" yesha opened the conversation.

Silence, there was only the sobbing of Athalia in Yesha's study.

"I don't know if it happened like that? My heart hurts, Sha."

Atha's cry instantly broke. He gave his emotions to his friend. Atha told me everything he knew about Juna. All the stories that he got during his time in Madura also Atha told Yesha.

"Your husband is innocent, Tha. If you leave, it will make the trauma even more so" said Yesha softly.

"I... I. need to calm down. I need time to think clearly."

"It's not that I don't want to support you, Tha. You've only been gone for a day, Juna is not calm like that. I can't imagine if you don't come back like you promised. Juna will definitely be getting down. The mentality will fall again."

"I'm not ready to meet Juna. I feel..feel...."

"Can you not remember her past anymore? Now you're Juna's future. He went through a difficult time. That event was not Juna's will. He is the victim of the impingement of one's lust. Please think carefully!."

Atha nodded. He wiped the remains of tears on both of his cheeks.

"Please yourself! I suggest you see Juna right away. I don't want Juna to get restless because I haven't seen you."

"May I feel disappointed in Juna?."

"Has Juna ever been disappointed in you?" Yesha asked back.

"What disappointed you about Juna? He's not beating you up. He didn't betray you. Juna is just a victim, a victim of Diandra's lustful indulgence. You should strengthen Juna, accompany Juna through his traumatic period. Not the other way around" continued Yesha.

"If you're disappointed that Juna struggled with another woman before marrying you. I don't think that's Juna's will. Your husband is an innocent man not a playboy who likes to play women" Yesha closed the contents of her lecture to Atha.

He then got up and asked Atha to meet Juna. The doubting Atha was silent, which upset Yesha. Yesha pulls out Atha's hand and takes her to Juna's nursery.

"Hurry in! I'm afraid that if Juna wakes up he's back on edge because he didn't see you" Yesha encourages Athalia into Juna's room. He then fled leaving Atha alone.

Atha slowly approached the cage. She could see how her husband was sleeping. Atha sat beside Juna, observing the peaceful face of her husband.

Atha's hand stretched out, rubbing Juna's face slowly. He tried to strengthen his heart to stay beside Juna. He tries to strengthen his heart not to discuss Juna's past.

Her husband has suffered for a long time. Her husband deserves to be happy too. Although in his heart, there was still a bit of pain with Juna's past. Atha should try to make peace with that. The future of his household could be threatened if he continues to bring up the problem.

"E... Eugh... Eugh....."

Juna's head moved left and right. Atha immediately patted her husband's face. She tried to calm her husband who looked restless in his sleep.

Juna opened his eyes slowly. His smile immediately rose when he saw the face of Athalia before him. Juna woke up from his sleep. He sat down and hugged Atha.

"You're back?" ask Juna happily.

Atha nodded. He returned Juna's warm embrace.

"I couldn't sleep all night. I'm afraid to be alone. You're not going anymore, are you? Your business is done, right?" ask Juna again.

Again Atha nodded. He was unable to answer Juna's question. Atha was still busy crying, her emotions re-emerged when she met Juna.

Juna felt that Athalia's shoulder was shaking. He immediately broke his embrace. He was shocked when he found his wife crying.

"Hey, why are you crying? What the hell's going on? Did anyone hurt you?" ask Juna worriedly.

Atha shakes. He tried to smile in his tears.

Juna is confused. He wiped his wife's tears. Soon Juna landed a kiss in his wife's face.

"I don't like you crying."

"Sorry, Jun! L'm... L'm... It's just too good to see you're okay" Atha told a lie.

"No one likes to cry like you. You why? Is there someone bothering you?" ask Juna again.

Juna hush. He looked at his wife's face deeply. Suddenly Juna's face became sad. He looked down and held Athalia's hand.

"Am I not okay? Did Yesha's doctor say anything about my illness?" ask Juna sadly.

Juna's question certainly made Atha confused.

"You must be sad because Yesha's doctor said that I am very ill and my age is not long" Juna concluded.

"Ti.ti.dak, June. Hey, why are you saying that? Yesha didn't say anything to me" said Atha frantically.

"I remember the soap opera scene that Mother often watched. The scene is exactly like this. His wife cried because she knew that her husband was no longer old."

"Yuna...!!!" Atha immediately cut off the words of her husband. It could be that in a blue day like this he even discussed the soap opera scene.

"Why yell? My guess is right?" ask plain juna.

"No...! No...!! Your guess is so untrue. You're doing fine. You just need to be treated with routine."

"really? So I can go home now?" ask Juna happily.

Atha nodded.

Juna jumped out of his bedroom. He who is not infused and not in pairs of any tools can immediately move with agility.

Juna picked up her clothes, stuffed them in a bag and immediately pulled Athalia out of her nursery.

"Hey, Jun! Where are you going?" ask Atha.

"Go home" said Juna as he walked with his hand that was pulling Atha.

"Wait for the doctor, Juna. At least Emier or Yesha checked you out first" Atha said.

"no need. You said I'm fine, not like the guy in the soap opera that you watch. I want to go home soon. I don't feel right here" Juna said as he dragged Atha away from the hospital.

Bali Island

The roar of the sound of beach waves clashing ripples break the silence of the beachside atmosphere. The sky is orange, the sign of the night is coming soon.

A woman stands on the beach. The woman stared straight at the pepper of the waves that came and went to her. No one is accompanying him at this time. Because he is alone.

Diandra, Juna's former lover was daydreaming on the beach. For almost three years he was in Bali, away from his family and chose to befriend the waves and sand.

Diandra who tried to rearrange her life after a few years ago messed up by the father and ex-husband.

Huh..! Diandra took a deep breath. His mind wandered far ahead. Diandra recalled the incident three years ago, when he viciously handed over his crown to Juna.

Diandra does not regret doing that. Juna deserved it. He thought after giving his crown, he and Juna could unite. The plan for Arya to divorce him has been successfully implemented. However, Diandra miscalculated. He forgot not to take Juna with him.

If that time Diandra woke up first than Juna. Surely he will immediately bring Juna to Bali. Settled in Bali and married Juna after the divorce process was completed.

Diandra is a fool. Too enjoying the ferocious game of Juna makes him forget the plan. It should be, Juna was still by his side if he could still control the game. Diandra regretted it. He regretted his stupidity.

"It's been three years since that incident. Hey, Jun! How are you?" Diandra.

Diandra started walking on the beach. He walked barefoot, leaving both his feet on the broom of the occasional passing wave.

"I heard the news when you were gone. Is that true? If that's true, can I catch up with you?" diandra said again.

"Three years have passed and I still have this taste for you, Jun" Diandra said, stopping her steps.

Diandra chose to sit on the beach while hugging both knees. He stared at the vast stretch of beach sand before him. Diandra took a deep breath. He tried to calm his troubled mind.

"I want to go home, Jun. But I'm afraid I'm not seeing you anymore. I wanna go home, wanna hug you and take you back."

Diandra saw a wooden branch. He took the twig, used it as a stationery. Diandra wrote on the sand. He wrote Juna's name many times. He seemed to be channeling his longing to Juna through his writing. Diandra continued to write even though later the writing of Juna's name would disappear swept by the waves.

"Mr......"

Diandra looked back. A two-year-old boy was running towards her. The boy ran while laughing with both hands that he spread out wide.

"June... No running! You will fall" cried Diandra.

The boy did not heed Diandra's words. He ran and jumped towards Diandra.

"Mama... Mamma... Come on, go home" take the boy. The boy continued to laugh while playing the tip of Diandra's hair.

"Juna has a bath?."

"Here you go, Mama."

"Have you eaten?."

"It."

"Now what does Juna want?" ask Diandra gemas.

"Juna wants to play with Mama. Lobots, guns and fishing" said the boy.

Diandra laughs. He then walked to bring Juna home.
