Husband Setting

Hero

The sky grid was already full of sun-light, when Darren woke up. The man's eyes were puffy and looked dazed, his head was also dizzy pulsing. No matter how long he slept on Jen's arm, still sound in peace, as if not disturbed by the earthquake of the world, he was unable to remember at all.

"No need to worry, he'll wake up soon." Doctor Luna jerked Darren's daydream, so the man turned his head. He smiled weakly in response.

"There are more important things you should know." Darren froze, something was twisting his heart. Makes the body weak instantly.

Hopefully not!

The beautiful doctor had not rested since last night so his face looked cute. The situation is too terrible, let alone sleep, he is not even able to breathe freely until—maybe, the situation is better.

Doctor Luna just said it was time to visit the twins. The rest, he just lowered his head and took a quick step. Once outside the NICU room, a group of people came and greeted him in an embrace.

"You are strong, yes, son .. a father must be strong to face trials." Desy clasped Darren with tears in her eyes, while Rendi simply patted Darren's shoulder and mutely. Maybe talking would make him unable to hold back his tear dam.

Darren tries to renege on his bad thoughts. Fortify yourself with forced rigor and keep saying that all is well.

"Be a strong man in front of your son, always remember, there's still Jen who needs you."

Darren's gaze was weak, falling on Kira who was still a few steps away from him. When his body was limp, in front of the woman who gave birth to his wife, he felt he was the worst and useless man.

Desy lets go of his embrace, giving Kira and Darren a chance to talk.

Darren feels this is his fault, Jen and her kids like this is because of him. It was still early in the day, and he had already received endless misfortunes.

Darren slammed at Kira's feet, he piled up with deep regret. "I'm sorry, Ma .. forgive my stupidity."

Kira certainly gasps at Darren's actions, hastily he aligns himself sitting in front of Darren.

"Darren ...." Kira rubbed her hair up to the man's shoulder. "Son .. don't say that. Mama doesn't think so, dear .. We can't force our will to destiny. Man can only surrender, Son .. All provisions are His."

"Darren ... come in and look at your son!" Harris voice. The man was hurt, but felt there was no point in blaming. "Someone loves him more than us, son."

Darren raised his gaze towards Kira who was smiling weakly, then towards Harris, then got up slowly.

"I'm sorry Darren, Pa ...." Darren finally hit Harris and shed a cry there.

He continued to strengthen his daughter-in-law who looked very hit. Darren's freshness is really tested, Harris salutes that. If it were him, it would have roared and swore. Protesting an injustice.

Darren finally went in after he collected the remaining small fragments of kink. Inside here everything was squeezing, the sound felt like a razor that sliced through every side of Darren's heart.

Luna continued to guide her until Darren saw where her son was lying. The two faced each other, as if saying goodbye to each other.

"He's a really strong kid. With his really bad circumstances, he was able to endure for quite a long time. He really is a wonderful little guy. Just like her mother." Luna tried not to cry saying that, but in reality, given how Jen and this tiny baby struggle, her tears just fell.

Always like this, he became a strong witness of human survival. Even if they are very small.

"The Hero should be waiting for Mami Siuman ... Mami would be so happy to meet Hero. Papi forgot to tell you about unfortunately mommy to you, son ...." Darren smiles in front of a small belly button bearing the name of the Hero who was born and left him on the same day.

Darren repeatedly kissed the navel of his son who had been a savior for his other brother. The hero seems to absorb all the parasites, sacrifice himself, escort his brother to see the world, and keep until his twin is sure to be good and stable.

Yes, Ace was declared healthy without any flaws when Hero opened his eyes and closed for good. They both had time to cry as if they did not want to be kept away, even Ace did not stop crying until the Hero had really left.

Darren cried again, he could not imagine those moments. At dawn he still saw his children asleep, but only a few moments later, everything was different. He could no longer embrace his greatest son.

"Let's go back, Brother ... Brother Jen is awake." Dinka accompanies Darren to the funeral. He also seemed to be grieving and regretting everything. He really hopes to get a chance to fix things.

Darren sighed, then said slowly, "Hero dear, who is calm there, yes, Ace and mami are fine here. Papi will take good care of them as Hero teaches. Papi comes home first, Papi will come back with Mami and Ace. See you soon, yeah, kid ...." He hugged and kissed once more the Hero's belly button before moving on from there. Even a few steps away, Darren still turned his head and looked at the tomb of Hero, as if unable to separate from him.
