JUST HUG ME FOR A SECOND

VERY DEEP SORROW

"Go away. Ihate you. You weren't there when she and I were fighting. WHERE'RE YOU?!" Aluna was hysterical and came back crying. Evan tries to hold Aluna, Aluna rebels and tries to let go of Evan's embrace. "GO! I said go, I hate you, Van," Aluna pushed Evan away while pushing him hard. Tears continued to wash over both of them.

"I'm sorry. I don't mean to," said Evan, Richard immediately approached Evan and calmed Evan, while Aluna with Marissa.

"Me and her are fighting alone" muttered Aluna crying and this time Marissa held her, Aluna's cries sounded sicker and slashing.

At the age of 8 months, Aluna had to give birth to her child, because of the contractions that occurred due to the crash of the time of day with Jamia.

There's nothing Evan can do now, Aluna seems to hate her so much. Very silly no, only this time he acted silly and even fatal for him.

Evan looked at Aluna with regret, there was no good reason for that. Aluna has a right to be angry. He disappeared when Aluna needed him.

Understanding the increasingly chaotic circumstances, Richard immediately took Evan out. Followed by Vishnu and Tama, while the others are with Aluna in the treatment room.

With devastated feelings Evan sees his son in the morgue. There she found her baby lying wrapped in a plain white cloth in a state of lifelessness. His face looks very handsome with a facial structure that looks like Evan, with a nose that also looks sharp. Her skin is pale white. Seeing it so that Evan's heart was broken, Evan's cry broke and he knelt before his son's body that had been stretched stiff.

Aluna's father tries to lift Evan's limp, but Evan doesn't want to get out of there. He had already waited for this day, and now he was missing this moment because of his stupidity.

Right now it is very, very, very broken. This is what people call the world collapsing. It turned out to be very painful.

"Sorry son. Sorry ... Sorry." That was all Evan could say while kneeling before his son's body. There are currently no words that can describe his suffering.

Her in-laws again tried to calm Evan down.

"This is his destiny. It's not your fault." Her in-laws continued with her to calm her down. "Aluna is just being very emotional. Don't listen to Aluna. It's not your fault" said his in-laws again.

But it was unable to alleviate Evan's regret. She heard how Aluna held back her contractions in order to wait for her arrival, until she lost her son.

Evan clasped his face and went back sobbing. Aluna's father rubbed her daughter-in-law's shoulder.

***

Today is their son's funeral. They took their son to his final resting place. Every step was painful for them. Evan could only speak a thousand languages and Aluna was unceasingly crying and was being placated by Marissa. Aluna's cries grew unstoppable as the ground began to cover the tomb. Aluna felt

increasingly devastated when faced with the reality of the baby he was born 8 months had to leave him.

While Evan was just glued without a word with his white clothes. Evan was just feeling like all this was still a dream.

...***...

Everyone is dissolved in grief. Aluna still doesn't want to talk to Evan. She was still weak after giving birth, but she did not want to eat anything. He was still very grieving, it made everyone worry. Evan was still as messed up as Aluna.

...***...

That night they slept with each other back. Not a word came out of their mouths.

Aluna slept crying with tears soaking her pillow. Evan sleeps though not with tears, but is clearly visible on his face if he is very grieving. His eyes were blankly staring. Until he fell asleep in his pain.

...***...

"You don't want to eat?! From yesterday you haven't eaten" said Evan trying to get close to Aluna.

"Do you care, I live or die, WHAT CARE YOU?!" snapped Aluna. Making Evan choked swallow his bitter-tasting saliva.

"I care, because I'm your husband" said Evan gently as he touched Aluna's hand, but was quickly picked up by Aluna. Evan pulls his hand, Aluna is still very angry, so she always defecates from Evan.

Evan looked at Aluna's pale face, he tried to touch Aluna's forehead. Just a moment, then his hand was back on the edge by Aluna.

"You're feverish. I called the doctor, yes," exclaimed worried Evan.

"I told you! Don't come near me again. I'm sick of you. Get out of here" cried Aluna hysterically. Evan was back to hearing it. How much do you hate Aluna for her?

"I held back my contract to wait for you, until he died. I foolishly expected a man like you. You're just the one who took my chastity by force. You only did it because of your depraved attitude. How could you care about that kid. You're just a bastard I wish I could be an angel. Stupidly I wish too much on people like you ... I'm stupid enough to kill my own son for someone like you." Aluna continued to be hysterical and emotional. It made Evan confused as to what he should do, Evan stood looking at Aluna.

"I think our togetherness has been able to straighten out your thoughts about me," muttered Evan began to grow angry and carried away his emotions as well.

"I never knew who you were. You're just a stranger who came suddenly into my life. Go away, I'm sick of you. Seeing you made me remember again with my son and the incident" said Aluna sharply with tears that continued to wet her cheeks. Evan looked at Aluna and swallowed the bitter-tasting return of her saliva.

"Aluna you're just depressed. I go first" said Evan as he walked away. But he just turned around, Buuukkk.... A vase of flowers hit Evan's back, Evan stopped his steps, he clenched his hands trying to hold himself back, as he began to regain control of himself, he took a deep breath without turning to Aluna. He immediately left Aluna who was out of control in the room.

Before leaving Evan took his car keys, he looked at Aluna for a moment, Aluna looked back at him sharply, in the eyes of the two of them clearly they were trapped with their respective emotions. It's free to talk now, which makes things worse, Evan thought. Evan disappears from behind the door.

***

His mother was shocked when she found Evan coming early in the morning. Evan immediately ran to his room without greeting his mother. Rima who looked at Evan's arrival early in the morning seemed shocked, he immediately followed Evan to his room upstairs.

Rima saw Evan sitting on the bed with a blank look. Like a heavy burden was on his shoulders.

"What's up?!" ask Rima.

"I just need some time to calm down, Mi" Evan said. Rima knows Evan must have another fight with Aluna.

"Yes, you rest first. It will be calm later. You go down to eat, yes," said Rima.

"Mi!" call Evan before Rima can leave.

"Yes?!" rima shouted while looking at his son.

"Hug me!" Evan cried again, Evan was feeling very bad when Aluna thought of him as a bastard again. Rima came up to him, and hugged him warmly, Evan was very hurt at the moment, but Rima was still confused by his son's behavior. "Am I a very bad man, Mih? I've been trying to make up for everything!" said Evan.

Now Rima knows for sure Aluna said something that hurt her son's feelings, so she looks very hurt to hear it. Rima let go of his embrace, and looked at Evan inside.

"When a person is angry, he will look for words that are very painful in order to hurt others. But if it subsides, then they will regret it. So do not be taken heart if Aluna is angry, yes," advice Rima soft with a warm gaze, it makes Evan calm. Rima smiled looking at the face of her son.

"You're a good boy. Exceptionally well. Lookie! Everyone respects you. Even the professors at Oxford love you all. As a child, the hajj and the neighbors all liked you" Rima recalled trying to encourage her son.

"He remembered that again. It was as if it had just happened" Evan said back in disarray, throwing his gaze out the window. Rima shook her head slowly, and hugged Evan again.

SERIATE...
