I Reply to Your Betrayal, Mas!
Chapter 4 - The Foreign Man
Chapter 4 - The Foreign Man
Nana is still hysterical. The obstetrician who handled Nana came to explain the condition of Nana's fetus.
At that time, when Nana arrived at the hospital was already in a state of unconsciousness and bleeding heavily until finally Nana's womb who had just turned 13 weeks really could not be saved.
Inevitably Nana was forced to accept this bitter reality, she was calmer and sat leaning on the patient's bed.
"Should have let me die with my son! Not even bringing me here and claiming to be my guardian!" Nana talks to Arjuna who has been presumptuous to claim as his guardian.
Juna who was peeling aple skin for Nana spoke without looking at Nana's face.
"You think I'm that cruel?I still have the thoughts and feelings to save the lives of others!"
Nana squealing. "That's arrogant.... "
Juna saw Nana.
"It's better to be an arrogant man than to be a cruel man who can only hurt women" he said with a cynical smile.
'There really is only one cruel man in the world. He even killed his wife and son.'
Nana is getting sad, her face is getting sadder.
"Eat, you better not think too much. It's not good for your mental and health."
Juna gave a plate containing apples that had been cut into small pieces.
Nana just took a piece.
"Ehmmmm, as long as I'm unconscious
self, has anyone else come to see me?"
"Nobody, do you really expect who's coming?" Juna asked again.
Nana chews the fruit and throws away her face. "Forget it!"
Stupid nana! It could be thought that Jordy would come looking for him, but the brengs*k that caused him almost to lose his life.
"May I ask you something?" juna asked after they had been quiet for a while.
Nana glanced at Juna.
"Are you a detective who wants to interrogate me?"
"Please take it that way." Arjuna placed the plate on the table then sat on the edge of the patient's bed, his hand reaching Nana's face until he saw her.
"What do you want?"
Nana brushes off Juna's hand, fearing that Juna would do him bad, even though Juna has helped her, but still they are two strangers who do not know each other.
"I saw you bobbing in the river, did you accidentally end your life or did someone else do it?"
Nana's lips twitched her tears fell down her cheeks, Juna's question reminded her of the damned incident. However, Nana chose to be quiet.
"From your facial expression I know, you've just been through a difficult time." Juna wiped away Nana's tears.
"Don't know!" ketus Nana, do not like to be touched by this foreign man.
Arjuna smiled. "Nana Delina .. beautiful name."
Nana is confused. "Where do you know my name? Oh, you saw my identity card, right?"
"Unfortunately wrong, you were found without any identity!"
Arjuna crossed his chest, why he felt at home looking at the face of this fat woman. Although her face was almost filled with acne, but Nana's beauty was still emanating for real.
Nana believes that the wallet contains an identity card and the amount of money was lost carried away by the river.
"So, you're a detective? Or the spy my husband sent?" ask Nana.
"Your husband?" Arjuna's face grew cold. "So, he's the one who made you there?"
"It's none of your business!"
"It used to be no, but from now on it will be my business! Whether you like it or not, you are my responsibility!"
"Who do you think you are? Don't just because you helped me, you can be like this. If I can choose it, I'd rather die with my son!" Nana's getting upset.
"Ending life is not the solution if you die then those who have hurt and betrayed you will dance and sing on your belly button!"
"You're getting suspicious, first know my name and now you know I've betrayed my husband, if not a detective .. lest the police?" Nana guessed the origin.
"Have not asked much later you can be more curious."
"I have to be wary of strangers like you. You could have worked with my husband!"
Arjuna laughs. "If I really want to eliminate you, why am I wasting my time helping you? Better than the beginning I let you get eaten by crocodiles in the river!" cetus Arjuna's.
"You mocked? All told you that crocodiles like to eat the meat of fat women like me!"
Nana's face scowled, she was annoyed because indirectly Juna had mocked her physique. All men are the same, they only look at women from their physical bodies.
Arjuna's laughter faded.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ridicule or offend you. To me, what your physique will be, you are still beautiful, tough and special, so don't think of anything that will break your spirit. Better focus on recovering your health so you can get out of the hospital."
Arjuna's words increasingly make Nana curious, why Nana feels that Arjuna knows a lot about him.
"You're getting mysterious, who are you, anyway?" nana asked for an answer.
"If you want to know who I am, you have to stay in my house."
"In your house?"
"Well, do you have another destination?"
Juna had already investigated the information related to Nana and was convinced that Nana had now lost her place of residence.
"Can you be trusted?"
Arjuna nodded confidently.
"I'm the only person you can trust and will never betray you!" answer Arjuna.
Nana still doubts there are strangers who care so much about her. Just her husband and best friend would betray her, let alone this mysterious man?
***
Three days later.
Nana's condition has been very improved, three days Arjuna always come to see the state of Nana. Though, Nana always drives away Arjuna, but this man insists on accompanying Nana in the hospital. Today the doctor let Nana go home. After completing the administration, Arjuna took Nana home.
"Who is there in your house? I'm afraid to disturb and trouble you" Nana said after Arjuna drove off.
"Nobody feels bothered, think of the house as your own home."
'Huh, does that mean we're just living together in that house?'
'What if Arjuna has evil intentions or wants to make me a slave to his lust.'
'No way, there are still many women out there who are prettier and more perfect than me, where maybe Juna wants to glance at fat women like me.'
Nana continues to deepen, the actions of Jordy and Zora have traumatized her. So, Nana tries to avoid anyone around her.
"If you want to help me, can you give me another place to live? I mean, we don't have to live under the same roof, do we?"
"Help nawar?" Juna chuckled, "Where do you want to live? You want that brengs*k guy to find and hurt you again?"
Nana's speechless. Of course not, in the near future he does not want to meet Jordy who will further hurt him.
Arjuna who was still focused on driving also glanced at Nana at a glance.
"So, what are your plans after this?"
Nana looked at Nanar out the window, she did not want Arjuna to see the tears that suddenly fell down her cheeks.
"I want to repay them, but I don't know where to start" said Nana Lirih, wiping tears from the back of her hand.
"They should feel more pain than I feel," Nana muttered in vengeance.
Nana hid the tears and heartache that was still gaping, but still Nana could not hold tightness in the chest. Nana's cry broke out in the car.
Arjuna who heard it could only fall silent and let Nana cry for the last time.
