I let my footsteps go, not wanting to disturb Mom and Dad's rest. But it was useless because they were waiting for me. Their eyes were looking out at me, a sincere smile even though it looked like it was forced, maybe it was painful, because his face was full of injuries. I don't want to cry, but unfortunately my tears don't have brakes, so easy to come out again and again. And behind me was a man who had just closed the door, Emperor.
There was a clear sound of Dad and Mom's body-detecting monitors, infusion hoses stuck in my greatest human hands. The smell of disinfectant so pierced my sense of smell. I'm sure Dad's not comfortable with this smell. My anti-drug dad.
I thought maybe Dad would get angry and sue the Emperor, holding him accountable. And I was appointed to take care of it. Or a big indemnity.
I looked at Mom, her eyes were reluctant to open, her head bandaged, it must have hurt a lot.
''Bu..'' I look at my bidadar face with love, a face that continues to smile and speak softly, still looks ayu even though the age is no longer young. I grabbed her slightly outstretched hand, I pointed it at my lips, I kissed the hand that always made me good food, touched me fondly. Even with just these two hands, Mom can take care of me, the house, people's orders, and Dad at the same time. I remember, Mother is an anti-hurt person, if you see a little wound, you will definitely run towards the P3K box, then you nimbly change like a doctor. Patently cleaning and then treating. Then what about this wound that Mom got on her body.
''You are so beautiful with your hijab and your toga shirt. Mom was so happy.'' His words were limped but still heard in my ears very clearly. I deliberately wear my tog clothes in full, want to show today her princess has reincarnated into a proud woman.
''You're happy today baby ?'' His words were very soft and weak. I nodded my head quickly despite the fact that I was very sad.
''If you are happy don't cry, it doesn't fit your shirt.'' I put my head up, I immediately wiped the tears on my cheek, though again and again kept breaking out. I covered it with my big smile.
I wanted to hug Mom as usual but I was afraid to make her sick.
''Arshila..'' Father called. I closed my eyes, swept away my tears, strengthened my heart and body, my man, my first love, my protector was no less pathetic than his situation with my bidadar.
''Father's spoiled daughter is very beautiful.'' He said with a limp.
''What else if you don't cry.'' I stopped my crying as much as I could.
''Here..hugged Dad for a moment.'' The love made me want to cry.
''Why just a moment Well, even I want this hug a long time ago.'' I hugged her slowly and carefully. Dad widened his smile.
''Don't be sad let alone cry over Dad like this, because it will make Dad sad too.'' I nodded in understanding.
''Dad is very proud of you, with a hijab that covers your beautiful hair, baby Daddy who used to wet the bed is now a mature woman.'' I laughed with Dad's jokes even though my cheeks kept getting wet.
''Honey, don't hold a grudge in your heart huh. Don't blame anyone for this. This has become his destiny.'' It was as if I understood that I was upset with the man who was still staring at the side of the bed. It's like watching a drama.
''No going Well.'' I said to Dad.
''Dad recover quickly with Mom too, I want to show you something.'' I take my phone, I show you the building that's ready to operate. Just inaugurate it.
''This is my shop there will also be a cafe there. You know, all this time I was also working, modelling the business that I started from scratch and from my own efforts without damaging the money that Dad sent.'' I want to be proud of Mom and Dad.
''Seeing your daughter succeed with her ideals, I was crowned miss cum laude today. The shallow brain that Dad always scorned used to be now the brain of genius. I don't want to congratulate me.'' With a face made to sulk.
''Congratulations, you are our pride. Without being miss cum laude or being a boss, you remain our pride. Of course we want to celebrate and inaugurate it with you.'' 'If our lifespan is long.' Dad smiled.
''If so soon be healed, and get out of this ugly bed.'' Syila Hardik.
''Syila was able to buy him a bed that was much nicer than this !'' Arrogant Syila who makes Daddy and his mother entertained.
Their room was indeed one, to strengthen each other and that was Dad's request.
''Dear.. Can Mom and Dad ask for one request ?'' Ask Dad.
''Why just one ? Even a thousand requests for Shila to do for you, as long as you recover quickly.'' Mom and Dad smiled again.
''That's too greedy, dear, just one and we hope you grant our request.'' Please Dad.
''Say Well, whatever it is Syila will give.'' My promise.
''You've already agreed.'' A little pause. He looked at the Emperor. I followed his eyes. What's up, Daddy wants to get him into prison, I even want to skin him right now.
''Marry the Emperor.'' Say with certainty. Syila immediately stared at her father in disbelief.
''What ? Dad was talking wrong ?'' But the father's arm gave an explanation if he was right to ask her to marry.
Syila began to protest, Why should I marry Well, let alone this careless man. Syila once said that Syila did not want to get married, did not want to have a relationship with a man other than Dad. His request was changed, yes.'' Persuade Syila.
''It's a shame to listen to Dad carefully. Dad's not afraid to face death, Dad's okay with all the pain in Dad's body, the one you're afraid of, I'm afraid when Dad's time is up and forced to leave you alone and have no one to protect you and love you.''
''Who will leave whom ? Nothing will change between us. Syila does not want to get married.'' Even I just graduated, and already have to marry this guy. Not want. Father and Mother's request is one. But it's the same as asking for my whole life.
Suddenly Dad was like having trouble breathing, he felt tight in his chest and Mom somehow from when, his eyes seemed closed.
I panicked, my cry became, the man had already run out to call the doctor.
''Dad, what's wrong with you, hang on, you don't allow me to leave. Please hold on for me !" I was crying so much. Fear enveloped me. I never thought that something like this would happen.
When my career and education are good and all there is in my hands, the grip with my loved ones should even be released.
