" All the administration is done, and there's the rest of the deposit, " said Adrian giving the remaining deposit money in an envelope to me.
" Lunch mama.
Adrian who stood in front of me turned his body quickly. Looking towards Henry who came with Resilient. Henry immediately smiled broadly at us, Adrian and I.
My heart seemed to fly from where I saw Adrian and Henry meet. My heart rate is more than normal until it feels weak.
" That....Tough ," I cried stammering - the brick trying to break the atmosphere. The extremely extroverted Henry extended his hand to Adrian who stood stiffly looking at him.
" Henry.." said Henry to Adrian.
" Henry.....? " The inevitable shock was seen on Adrian's face. His forehead creased, like he remembered something. Adrian's eyes narrowed. Adrian turned to me then turned to look at Henry again before Adrian finally reached out his hand to welcome Henry.
Maybe he remembered at the beginning of my marriage to Mr. Satrio I once called Henry. I mentioned Henry so clearly many times, Adrian must have heard.
" Adrian," he answered stiffly and defiantly.
Two young men who are opposite each other like the North and South poles. Like fire and water, like winter and summer. They looked at each other with gazes that I could hardly understand. Stand straight facing high balanced among them.
" I'm a friend of Ms. Arin, maybe even more" Henry said starting talks between them.
While the tension is clearly visible. I want to run away from this room, get as far away as possible and not see what will happen to them.
" Are you the one who's paying for the treatment here ? " ask Adrian without further ado - stale to Henry.
" Yes, because your father is incapable,"
" Don't overreact. I mean Mama Arin is still my papa's legal wife. They're not divorced and they're not getting divorced,"
Adrian called me 'mama" . During my marriage to Mr. Satrio, his father Adrian called me mama. He just called me "You ", "Him ", "That woman ". Although many times Mr. Satrio reprimanded and asked him to call me mama, mother, mother. Adrian still doesn't care, keeps calling me as he pleases. During my stay at Pak Satrio Adrian's house was very good to me, even though his cold attitude exceeded the ice in the North Pole. only one shortcoming he never wanted to admit and call me "Mama".
" why not get divorced ? Not because I love Arin, right ? But because of self-worth and dignity. "
" You.." Adrian's hand clenched and prepared to give Henry a fist. Henry's increasingly challenging attitude made the atmosphere more chaotic.
" Believe Sister Arin if you do not want to divorce, do not be abandoned like this. I'll take forcibly from your papa if Mbak Arin continues like this."
" Buuukkk" The sound of a loud punch hitting Henry's jaw that still holds the Tangguh. Although Henry can deflect Adrian's punch by taking a few steps back, Adrian's punch hits Henry's jaw. Henry's right hand held Tangguh while the left refused Adrian's blow.
I screamed in fear seeing them. Tough hands clutching Henry's shirt and crying as hard as they can. They stood still motionless. Without a second pause a punch also landed on Adrian's jaw. " Buuuukkk," a loud voice sounded.
" That's for your papa who's already made Mbak Arin cry" Henry's outspoken voice echoed in this room.
Adrian didn't deflect Henry's punches. Adrian stood up to protect me. If Adrian shifts his body, it hits me holding Thavisa. Or if Adrian steps back, it'll push me down. That's what I can catch from Adrian's actions. While willing to reverse the blow on Henry, there was Tough in Henry's sling. I stood behind Adrian, intent on separating those who were fighting. But lost quickly with some blows that have occurred between them, Adrian and Henry.
A few footsteps ran towards us.
" What's wrong mom ? " ask some nurses.
" Help, this is a hospital. Don't fight here. You two better get out !" The middle-aged nurse's orders. Although female, the nurse's voice was very firm and loud.
" Henry, please take the Tough home, please" I asked Henry. I was picked up by one of the young nurses. While the other nurse took Thavisa in my arms. Thavisa who also joined in crying loudly added boisterous memekak, her lips turn blue and vibrate.
" Well, I'll take the tough home" replied Henry.
" You and I still have something to talk about" Henry told Adrian, who stood haughty. Both of his hands were inserted in both pockets of his black jeans. Adrian remained silent not responding to Henry's words. Turn around and walk to sit on the couch in this room.
" Mom, take a break, After the doctor's visit and after lunch you can go home" the middle-aged nurse told me. Netra he glared resentfully at Adrian and Henry.
Henry walked towards me closer to Tangguh who had eased his cries. I kissed Tough over and over again before Henry brought him home.
The tense atmosphere continued for minutes between me and Adrian. We mute together in each other's thoughts and chaos. I tried to calm myself by closing my eyes, but I couldn't. My eyes were wide and riled.
" Is it still sick ? " just ask Adrian who is still sitting on the sofa crossing his legs and hands that play HP.
" Hurt ? No. "the answer is calm.
" But your jaw is turning blue,"
" Don't you notice, besuk is also missing. Drink up, you must still be tense looking at us." Adrian walked over to my bed and poured me a bottle of mineral water. I smiled at Adrian.
" Did women now prefer young men ? ask Adrian. I turned to Adrian who was sitting in the chair next to my bed.
" Can't you see, she's probably my age ? adrian's cynical voice made me more and more cornered with questions that made it difficult for me to answer. I kept quiet in the puddle of questions Adrian gave me. I just looked at him with a fading glare. I don't want to answer Adrian's questions.
" Why do you want to marry papa if you have a boyfriend or you........ cheating from papa ? Looking for the warmth of the bed ? "
" Arian ! " my chuckle doesn't accept Adrian's accusation. " I've never cheated on Mr. Satrio. I knew Henry before I married Mr. Satrio" I replied with a fire. Adrian just sighed and exhaled strongly.
" I'll visit you often at papa's request" Adrian told me.
" Why didn't Mr Satrio visit me ? "
Adrian was silent as if he would not respond to my question.
" Why not him himself ? " my voice is clearer this time. Adrian remained silent unwilling to answer my question.
" Why did he take care of me and my children. Yesterday I got used to it without him, without your family. Now that I'm used to why you and your family are messing up again my calmness" my tears broke in the voice. I want to rebel, I want to scream, this is not fair to me. Am I not allowed to be happy ? Is it my destiny to suffer forever ?
Adrian did not answer. His face was flat and without burden. He would rather play the HP he held than answer my questions.
Remember Adrian, right ?
Seriate.........
