Hi Love Come Back
chapter.40. Old Wounds
Cold nights with heavy rain. A young child is only 10 years old, awake alone with some parts of the body to bleed.
"Mommy!! wake up.. I'm afraid of Mommy! hiks hyks.." said the boy to the body of the woman who was currently stiff helpless beside his seat.
Not getting a response from the mother, then she painstakingly moved her body towards the driver. There was the body of an adult man who was also covered in blood with his face bowed at the wheel.
"Daddy!! waking up... Daddy... hiks hyks.." call him the guy.
The car they were riding in was no longer in shape.
The boy could not remember what had just happened. He only remembered, a moment ago was asleep in his mother's lap. Then her small body felt a shock.
When you realize that things are like this. He was so scared he didn't know what to do.
"Please!! help us!!" he shouted with strength left asking for help.
I hope someone passing by helps. But until he was not able to scream anymore. No one came.
The rain that penetrated into the car from the broken glass, added to the cold tonight. He shivered withstanding pain, intensely frightened and cold. Hugged the mother's body, as if asking for protection.
"Mommy.. Mommy I'm scared!" that's all that came out of his mouth.
Until dawn came, a local man passed by at the spot. Slowly other people started coming. Moments later, the authorities also arrived at the place.
"Hurry and help get them out!" scream someone.
"This child is still alive, give first aid immediately!" the man orders his partner again.

I was getting rid of all the bottles in this room before I got home. Chris was asleep 30 minutes ago.
"Mommy.. Mommy.. Mommy!!!" chris' voice sounded.
I went to where Chris was asleep. His eyes were closed, but he kept shouting while sobbing.
"Chris! wake Chris! Chris!" I said while shaking his body to wake up from his dream.
"Hiks.hiks.. I'm afraid of Sally, I'm so scared" said Chris hugging my body.
His body shivered in fear, seemingly having just had a bad dream. I pat her back slowly trying to calm her down.
"It's ok Chris. It's just a dream." I said.
"Sally, I'm really scared!" chris said as he cried hugged me.
When she calmed down, I helped her lean on the top side of the bed.
"Please get the medicine in the second drawer!" soft door.
I went to the place in question. I'll get a medicine canister over there. I gave him the medicine with a glass of water.
"Since when have you taken this drug Chris?" I asked after reading the label of the sedative she had just taken.
"Since the nightmare came back" he replied with a long sigh.
"Please don't go Sally! Keep me here." He begged me to hold my hand.
"That bitter memory really tormented me. That night when it was raining heavily, my family and I were on our way home. Somehow, the car that Daddy was driving got out of his lane and overturned." Chris stopped his story for a moment to take a deep breath.
"See the blood flowing from the bodies of my parents. I also felt pain in my head and body. I called them, but there was no answer. I screamed for help, no one came." His eyes looked up.
"Be in the morning, there are people who find us. Both my parents were pronounced dead. I am the only survivor. Ever since that incident, I started having nightmares." continued Chris bowed.
"The dream bothered me for up to 2 years after the incident. Thank God, then I can live a normal life. Until a few months ago... The dream came again" said Chris, covering his face with both hands.
Moments later Chris fell asleep in my lap, like a child. I took a pillow, to change my lap.
"Rest Chris. I'm home." I whispered to him.
I took my bag and I closed the door slowly. There are some text messages on my phone.
"Darling, are you still in the office? Want me to pick you up?" dean asked via text message 2 hours ago.
Dean knew when I was busy he wouldn't call or text me many times. Because he thought it would bother me.
"Sally, is Chris there? If so, please take care of her for us." sign from Claudia's sister.
I answered the messages one by one as I walked out into the lobby.
"Yes Dean, I'm still in the office. But, I want to go home. You don't have to pick it up." I sent a message to Dean.
"Yes, he's here, sister" I sent an answer to Claudia.
No waiting for a long time for a new text message to come in on my phone.
"Be careful, baby, I'll pick you up tomorrow morning. I miss you so much." a message from Dean.
"Yes, thank you. Until tomorrow morning. I miss you too." I replied.
***
When I'm going to rest my phone rings. It was a call from Claudia. I picked up the phone.
"Hallo Brother!" I said.
"Sally, please help us take care of Chris. I know this looks shameless. But Daniel and I were very worried about him." asked Claudia.
"But Brother." I answered cut off.
"I beg Sally!! He recalled the incident, during a fatal accident that claimed the lives of his parents. He had long since recovered from the traumatic injury. It seems like it's because of some bad things happening to him lately. That was the trigger" Claudia said.
"What happened to him, brother?" my many.
"Jo left him, for the sake of a man who could improve his career. Chris, already loving Chika as his own son, Chika also considers Chris as his father. His farewell to Jo, of course, became his farewell to Chika as well. Chika is crying so badly, parting ways with Chris." explains Claudia.
"Chika's cry reminds her of her crying on the night of the accident. Besides.." said Claudia's sister disconnected.
"Sighs.. Chris told me once that he was very sorry to leave you. She loves you very much Sally. He always cursed himself. His days were filled with drunkenness. Until one day he went missing somewhere, our phone was not picked up. Thank goodness you replied to my message" Claudia said.
"So it's like that. But brother, I'm sorry I couldn't do more to Chris." I replied.
"I beg Sally! I thought only you could treat the trauma. He had treatment, but there was no result. According to the psychiatrist, maybe he can recover if he finds his love again." asked Claudia.
"My and Chris are long over. At the moment, I already have someone else. I'm sorry, brother, but I will try to help him as a friend." I replied.
"Thank you Sally. Sorry to bother you. And shameless like this. Sorry to bother you at night like this. Have a good rest, Sally!" said Claudia lirih.
"It's okay brother. Good night and good rest too brother!" I said end.
