Hold on or let go!

The eps 96

By midnight, I felt like someone was rubbing my head. I, who was sleeping next to Alby, looked up at my head. I saw Alby looking at me somehow. His hands did not stop rubbing my head.

"A? Need something?", I asked. Alby nodded slowly.

"Drink!", he said in a soft voice. I wonder why Mak or the others didn't come here. Is it because there is already me?

I give mineral drinks with straws. Alby drank it slowly.

"Thank you!", said Alby. I nodded to agree.

"Neng knows where Aa is here from?", Alby's voice rattled.

"Mas Sakti was telling you this morning."

"Sakti doctor?", Alby parroted.

"Yes, he's on duty at this hospital." Alby's speechless.

"Sorry!", said Alby again.

"Do not think about anything else, just rest A. If you need anything say it!", I said.

"Sorry for hurting you, sorry for bothering you!"

I know what to say if it's like this. On the one hand, I feel sorry for what Alby is suffering from. But on the other side....

"It's still midnight A, rest again!", I asked. Alby shook his head weakly.

"I don't want to sleep anymore."

I scrunched my eyebrows.

"Why?Yeah, what do you want if you've been this literate?"

"He won't sleep again. Aa is afraid that if it will wake up, neng does not exist. Aa wants to stay here, same Aa. Don't go any more than Aa."

Geez, is she afraid I'm leaving her?

"I will make Aa until Aa is healed!" I said. But Alby shook his head.

"It doesn't heal. If he recovered, he had a reason to leave Aa. I don't want to!"

Oh my God, since when did he look like this? Is it because of the pain?

"Yes, I'm not going anywhere A."

Alby smiled his smile even though his face still looked pale.

"Promise? Neng isn't going to fight Aa's divorce?", asked Alby, as if she was a child afraid of losing her toys.

I took my breath, and I threw it away slowly.

"God, as long as I can survive A. But .. As I said, I don't know until when I can survive."

Alby clasped my hand.

"Until any time, neng only has Aa. Aa's love only makes Bia one!"

"Yes rest again, it's still A's night!"

Alby shook his head again. And try to lift his body so as not to lie too much.

"Want to sit? Doesn't it hurt?", I asked.

"Just go up!", said Alby. I've also raised the hydraulic gurney so that Alby can be a little upright. Although I heard he grimaced with the pain in his stomach.

My current position is standing next to the gurney.

"So this is enough?", I asked. Alby nodded.

"Neng enough!", said Alby. As I was about to get ready to sit down again, Alby held me back.

"What?", asked me.

"He wants to know the state of our son. Can Aa wipe her stomach?", asked Alby to look me in the eye. I also nodded. Leads Alby's hand to touch my stomach.

Alby's burly palms rubbed my stomach which had begun to harden.

"Udah starting to look neng?", he asked looking up at me. Because my position is higher. I'm nodding.

"Aa want to kiss neng's stomach! What about?", asked Alby.

"Next time A. Now that Aa's condition isn't possible!", subtly reject me. I could have been lying next to him, but I chose not to.

"Yes!", he answered listlessly.

"What matters is that you hold it, right? The utun also knew, if it was his father's hand!"

Alby smiled a little.

"Come!", he said.

"What?", I got close to his head.

Alby grabbed my head, my slightly bent position made it easier for Alby to peek at the top of my head.

Yes, I miss this dear full kiss from her. I pulled away from him, but Alby held me back.

"Please! Hold on, baby! Whatever Aa's gonna do to keep our household going."

I froze in place. Then a brief kiss on my lips landed perfectly. I bought my eyes. All four of them he stole an opportunity in a cringe.

I turned my body back to sit on the bench. My hand was back at Alby's.

"Neng slept here, same Aa. It still fits!"

''Ngga. Just here!", reject me. Alby slowly closed his eyes. I did the same thing. I'm just in a sitting position.

"Papa said he'd take care of Alby? Why is papa back? Let Silvy take care of Alby pa!", said Silvy annoyed at the arrival of his father. The presence of Hartama who returned home, became an interesting thing for Titin, Mila and Sapto. Because before, Titin will take care of his son. But Hartama forbade it. Hartama asks Titin and Mila to keep Silvy at home. Same with Sapto. She's just scared if Silvy needs anything.

"There are Alby!", replied Hartama briefly.

"Who's pa?"

"The wife!"

"What's? Bia?", asked Silvy.

"Well, who is Alby mas?", asked Titin.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Kok papa even biarin Bia who take care of Alby anyway? There I am pa! If not, there is a aunt with my mother!"

Hartama looked into his daughter's eyes.

"Father ask them to bring you here!"

"But why pa?"

"Because he has the right to do so."

"But Silvy doesn't like Pa! Alby's getting closer to Bia. Silvy doesn't like it!"

"I don't like it but that's the truth Silvy! Be honest! Papa is disappointed by your actions that will end your life and your future grandchild."

"But this is all because Alby said he wanted to leave Silvy pa!", Silvy choked.

Hartama is still in his place. He finally realizes how much wrong he has done to his daughter, daughter-in-law and daughter of his best friend because of his unfinished feelings of revenge on Titin, his former wife.

"Son! Let go of Alby!", said Hartama suddenly. Silvy's eyes widened, as did the other three humans in that place.

"Pa!"

''Papa doesn't want you to expect Alby who will never love you Vy! You also deserve to be happy son!", Hartama holds his son's shoulder.

Silvy threw his papa's hand off his shoulder.

"What do you mean? Didn't you say you would obey all my wishes? Including making Alby and Bia separate? Papa remember right?"

Hartama nodded slowly.

"But it's not fair to you, son. Alby is the same as you, but Alby's love for Bia. Papa doesn't want you to be more disappointed, son!"

"Nga! This isn't papa! My father will definitely obey all my wishes!", Silvy choked, not accepting his father's words as usual. Her father has always supported her wishes during this time including Silvy's ridiculous desire to ask Alby to marry her.

"Son...!"

"Stop pa!" said Silvy, turning his body back and walking back to his room. Mila swiftly helped silvy. Silvy prefers Mila to Titin, her own mother.

Hartama dropped his body weight kesofa. His eyes closed with his head turned to the ceiling of the room.

"To, my friends are talking!", Hartama told Sapto.

''Well sir!", said Sapto without refusal. Hartama got up from the sofa, then walked towards the back garden.

The two elderly men sat on the porch bench.

"It turns out, Bia's my best friend's son To!", Hartama said starting his conversation. Sapto was stunned to hear his master's remark. But he has not dared to interrupt Hartama's remarks.

Hartama breathed.

"Almarhumah Salman, Bia's father, my friend. What I'm getting right now is none other than Salman's help and interference."

"Salman helped me, he gave me business capital until now my company is getting bigger."

"But when my efforts began to stand and run stable, I returned to Surabaya, Salman was no longer there. I lost track of Salman, To. Until finally, a few days ago I dreamed of seeing her again. When I visited my project in east Java, I got the fact that...Bia is Salman's daughter."

Sapto is still listening to the story of his boss.

"Burse me to Titin, hurt a lot of people. Not only my daughter, but also Bia and Alby, To!"

Sapto sat down next to his boss.

"What should I do?", asked Hartama.

"If you're talking about materials, it looks like you have to restore Bia's rights, that's my opinion. But when it comes to children's marriages, it seems that only they can decide, sir. Sorry, if what I said was presumptuous!", said Sapto.

Hartama looked at the blackened sky of the capital without stars.

True said Sapto, he should be self-aware if there is a right Bia in his property. And their marriage, Alby who must finish it even though later his daughter who will feel the sadness. But at least it's better, than in the future it will hurt them all.
