I'M Sorry To Hurt You [Last]

THIRTY-SIX

Eliot ... Eliot ... Eliot ...

I heard the voice of Full calling me. Her sweet smiling face was looking at me. The corner of my lips curled upwards. Forming smiles. Replying to my wife's warm smile.

Purnama ...

My mouth twitched stiffly, trying to call out his name. I held my breath for a moment. What's wrong with my voice? Why does it hurt so much to make a sound?

Purnama ... Love ...

As loud as I let out a sound, it still couldn't. My voice was just in my throat. Wh why? Why is it so hard to take out a single word?

My hands were itchy and agitated trying to move, touching my wife's face - still smiling cheerfully at me. But then my smile disappeared, along with the sweet face of Full Moon which gradually faded and disappeared by itself.

Nah! Purnama, don't go. Arrh ...

I'm pinching my head. Suddenly throbbing piercing pain. Then, I felt a warm touch flowing in my hand. Holding me so strong.

Purnama ...

Sayup-sayup I heard a hoarse voice. Whisper right in my ear, say something, “Wake up, Elias! Purnama and your future son are waiting for you in Beijing, looking forward to your presence.”

Next, I heard several voices calling my name, as well as the sound of several footsteps approaching me. I reluctantly forced my eyelids open. Forcing me to wake up from the harsh reality, left my wife gone.

With a blurry look, I stared fixedly at the several faces of the doctor standing right in front of me. Shake your head to the left, looking at Mommy and Sakti's faces. Their faces looked extremely worried and anxious. But in the look of that anxious face, I saw all the joy present there.

Then I looked back to the front. Look at the doctor's face. At first glance I noticed the name tag embedded in the white coat on the left. The doctor's name is Katy. He asked me a few questions. His voice was so clear in my ears.

“Can you see us, Mr Benjamin?” tanyakanya.

I just nodded small. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Especially Sakti and Mommy, even Mommy began to shed tears. I grimaced for a moment. My body felt crumpled, like being hit by iron all over my body.

“Can you move your hand, Mr Benjamin?” ask Dr. Katy again as her eyes continued to look at me, looking at me so sharply.

I returned to the small. I put my hand on it as Dr says. Katy. Everyone breathed back. I slowly woke up, wanting to lie on the back of the headboard with the help of Sakti. My hands were outstretched, intending to take the glass over the nightstand. Immediately arrested by Dr. Katy. I cringed confused. I look at his face. My lips are moving, want to ask, ‘What's wrong?’ Just that word, but why does it feel so painful to make this sound. Clapping my chest, trying to get out a word. There was, only the pain in my throat became more and more. Feels burned.

Why my voice? I looked at Mommy and Sakti. Both of them started to worry about my situation. Doctor Katy let out a long sigh, then went back to asking, “Is there anything you want to say, mister Benjamin?”

I nodded, then started talking. Again, I can't let out my voice. Wh why? What's with my voice?

“Try saying something, Mr. Benjamin,” Doctor Katy orders.

I tried again, moving both my lips. Trying to say something. Niente. My voice still can't get out. Aaargh .. I tried to yell in frustration, still my voice was unable to get out. Doctor Katy then turned around, looking at Mommy.

“How, Doc?” mommy asked while looking at me concerned.

Doctor Katy let out a short sigh, as she turned to look at me she replied, “It seems, the voice of Mr. Benjamin so far is problematic.”

Whahuh? In other words, can I be? Nah! It is impossible ... Arrh ....

I stared at the calm water in the glass. Refusing to drink it. A fresh taste soaked my esophagus, when the clear liquid began to slide into my mouth, after a month of not drinking and eating anything, it was so delicious when the water entered filled my thirst.

I heard the story from Mommy. That I was in a coma for a month. And about Jeremy. He eventually died too. His body was buried by the hospital, somewhere. Because both Sakti and Mommy don't want to know that. Even so, I still felt his loss. However, it was Jeremy who accompanied me for thirteen years, behind his mission of trying to kill me.

Exhaling a heavy breath. Now I'm mute, though not a permanent mute. Doctor Katy said that my voice would recover in three months.

Three months? I'm laughing. My son has been born into the world. Counting. Currently the age of the seven-month full moon. Just two months left .. and I'm still mute. How will I face Purnama. How do I speak in this mute condition, say something to her, say sorry to her ...

Soon I want to pick Purnama back to New York, but Dr. Katy suggested I go for therapy. Not letting me go anywhere. Especially going abroad.

Nah! After all, before Purnama gives birth I should be by her side. I don't care about any therapy. I can get treatment and therapy wherever I am. Yep. My decision is round. Maybe after restoring my physical condition for a month. I'm going back to Beijing, picking up my wife.

A month I have been actively following therapy very strictly, even recommended Dr. Katy I didn't miss a thing. Both sound therapy and physical therapy.

And as a result, it was beyond anyone's expectations, even by myself. Didn't expect my voice to recover so quickly, and my body returned to normal as usual again. I don't need a cane anymore to walk.

At first I was almost desperate. Lucky there is Sakti and Nila continues to encourage me. Moreover, the person I love very much. Even though he didn't give real support. But my biggest motivation for recovery is her, to get back to her side. Mommy and Daddy are back in Beijing.

After healing. There's a lot to fix. In addition to the rigorous therapy I still have to undergo. I also returned my company's finances to stabilize again. He continued to monitor the full moon in Beijing through Edgar and Mommy. Thankful, my wife's condition has improved and is healthy. Randy is on his side. Continually entertaining. I could only take a deep breath, imagining Randy always on the side of the Full Moon.

I got out of the car when I entered my yard, after a month of back and forth from the hospital checking up. Finally I can be free without the need to go to the hospital again by doing my own treatment that is routine to take medication, and do voice exercises in the morning to smooth my throat. And exercise lightly for my body.

My plan today is to go back to Beijing to see my wife. Full moon will give birth in a month. Whatever happens, I'll go back to him. Although I think Purnama will still reject me. I will try to get him to accept me again.

“Elias, good luck with your business. And you two can be together again, especially keep your voice from yelling and talking too much. Also your body, do not do too many heavy things.”

Sakti hugged me so tightly while we were at the airport. Delivering my departure to Beijing. I just nodded with sign language. The okay mark goes through my finger while smiling. Replied Sakti with his little bitterness to my sign language. I deliberately did this to reduce the pain of my vocal cords, and not make them worse.

“Go! The plane will be leaving soon.”

Sakti patted my shoulder. Back I nodded. Waving hands as parting speech. Exhaling and looking straight ahead. My steps were clearly on my wife.

Honey ... wait for me in Beijing. I'll pick you up soon. Fight to get your love back.
