Kei And Layla
Chapter 54: The Labyrinth
After the surgery, Dr. Kenzi has not allowed anyone to visit Layla due to her critical condition.
Kei and Raiden are still faithfully waiting outside Layla's room in the infirmary. While Mbok Darmi and Mang Usman say goodbye to bring the equipment needed Layla later.
Kei stood in front of the door of the room, leaning his body against the door. While Raiden was sitting leaning against the chair, his face was staring upwards.
Kei glanced at his watch which showed at 20:45. Kei took a deep breath.
"Clara must have been looking for me. But, if I go home what about Layla?" mummy Kei slowly.
"Why are you still here? why don't you just go home?" asked Raiden looking at Kei for a moment. But Kei just kept quiet.
"You don't have to be hard on Layla's guard, there's me" Raiden said.
"As far as you are, I..." Kei did not continue his words. Kei looked straight into the hospital hallway, as a woman walked up to them. Kei looked at the figure of the woman who was getting closer.
"Clara" said Kei slowly.
Clara walked closer to Kei. He looked at Kei with a look of annoyance. Clara's been looking for him all day and her guess turns out to be true, that Kei is with Layla.
"I've been looking for you all day, you're here." Clara crossed both hands on the chest.
"Clara me-?"
"What?" cut Clara, "let's go home." Clara lowered her hands and immediately held Kei's.
Kei brushed off Clara's hand, "yes I'm home, but not now."
"Why?" clara asked, her two eyebrows clinging to each other.
"Layla's in the care, she's..." Kei did not continue his words.
Clara patted him on the forehead, "oh, my goodness. Layla again, Layla lgi" Clara quipped.
"I'm sorry Clara" Kei replied.
"Kei, Keila is crying if you're not home." The eyes of Clara sayu.
"I. I'm sorry."
"No, you should go home. There's a friend here who's looking after Layla." Clara glanced at Raiden for a moment.
"But-?"
"No! you have to go home!" exciting Clara.
Clara immediately pulled Kei's hand, and forced him home. Kei is forced to follow Clara's steps rather than later even fuss near Layla's room and disturb her.
Raiden, who had been silent, sighed deeply, staring at Kei and Clara's backs, missing at the end of the hospital.
When Kei and Clara arrived at the hospital yard, their commotion continued in the car. Throughout the journey they fought because of different desires.
"Conscious Kei, right now, I am your wife!" clara exclaimed with a focused gaze forward.
"I know Clara. But, Layla needs me" Kei replied glancing a moment at Clara.
"Enough!" clara exclaimed, "you think Keila doesn't need you?!" Clara stopped her car.
"I beg to understand Clara." muttered Kei Lirih.
"Let's!!" call Clara, with both hands hitting the steering wheel of the car, with a sharp gaze towards Kei.
"You don't have to arrange for me Clara said Kei, "you must remember, I married you in a state of amnesia."
Clara fell silent, "then?" ask Clara, "what do you want?"
"I want you to understand my situation now" Kei replied.
Clara's lips clenched, her teeth clenching in anger. He nodded his head staring intently at Kei.
"Well if that's what you want, now you're out!!" shout Clara.
"Clara me-?"
"Get out!!" cut off Clara, she widened her eyes staring intently at Kei.
"Don't I mean ak-?"
"Get out!!" cut Clara again. He turned his face to the window, then he exited the car door and walked to the left of the road to open the car door. Then he forced Kei to get out of the car.
"Clara, listen to my explanation first" Kei said. Then Kei got out of the car and Clara closed the door.
"Listen to me well well," Clara's eyes glazed over, "you want to go home please, not come home is up to you, I'm tired."
"Clara, listen up!" exclaiming Kei pulled Clara's arm.
Clara brushed off Kei's hand, rushing back into the car. Clara stared at Kei who shook the car door trying to open it.
"You're really outrageous" murmured Clara.
"Clara, open Clara." Kei's eyes looked at Clara from behind the car glass.
"Clarraa!!" call Kei shouting loudly, as the car driven by Clara drove at high speed leaving Kei on the side of the road.
Kei shouted as he rubbed his hair rough, "why is it always like this! why!!" kei yelled at Clara's car until it disappeared from view.
Kei stepped gontai sitting on the side of the road, he lowered his head with both hands holding his head.
"Why.why am I always in the wrong position." muttered Kei lirih.
Kei was silent for quite a while on the side of the road, he thought of his life always having a dead end to return to Layla. Slowly Kei's tears trickled down the asphalt road. He felt a pain in his chest remembering everything that had happened to him. She wiped her tears and got up and stood up. Many times Kei wiped his tears and his runny nose. Then he turned around to approach a bridge not far from where he was standing.
Kei stood on the edge of the bridge with both hands stretched out.
"Yahahhhkkk!!!" Kei shouted as hard as he could to release the burden that stuck in his chest.
"Look? Kei my son?" greet a woman from behind.
Kei stopped screaming, then looked back at the woman.
"Dad? Mommy?"
"Oh my son, where have you been, son, we thought you were gone." Alya and Abdul immediately hugged Kei.
"We miss you so much Kei," Alya took off his embrace, "you're still alive, but why don't you go home son?" ask Alya.
Kei let go of Abdul's embrace, he stared coldly at his parents.
"I'm not your son anymore." Kei's eyes are glassy.
"Don't talk like that Kei, don't be an ungodly child!" firmly Abdul.
Kei smiled faintly at Abdul, "Child huh?" look at Kei sharply, "since you sold me to Yuda, I've not been your son anymore.
" You haven't changed at all." Alya sayu's eyes.
"Changed? why haven't you changed?" reply Kei.
"Enough, let's go home come on." Alya pulled Kei's hand. But Kei clapped Alya's hand.
"Aren't you going home...." Alya stopped her speech as her face was glared by the car lights that were pointing at her face, and stopped right in front of them.
"Father!" a boy came out of the car door.
"Keila?" Kei returned Keila's embrace which had just come with Clara.
Alya and Abdul frowned at Keila and Clara, they were surprised to hear Kei had been called 'Papa'.
"Hey, who are you?" alya looked at Clara and Keila.
"I am Kei Bu's wife" Clara replied nodding her head for a moment.
"Wife?" Alya looked at Abdul for a moment, then turned to look at Clara and Kei, "and this kid?" ask Alya again.
"This is Keila Bu, our son" Clara said.
"Then you're Mom's daughter-in-law, and Keila's Mom's granddaughter isn't it, sir?" alya looked at Abdul for a moment.
"Enough! let's go home!" exclaims Kei pulls Clara and Keila's hands home. Kei doesn't want his parents to go back in his life now.
"Let's wait, I'm talking to your mom." Clara refuses Kei's invitation.
"Who are you?" clara asked, looking at Kei's parents.
"We're Kei's parents, son." Alya's eyes sparkled.
"Dad and Kei's mother?" Clara immediately shook Kei's parents' hands, "Kei you don't say that you still have parents?"
"It doesn't matter you know" Kei replied flatly.
"Kei, don't talk like that, son." Alya held Kei's arm. Kei brushed it off.
"What are you doing?" clara asked, her eyebrows twitched. He wondered why Kei didn't get along with his parents. Clara was eager to question him. But Clara chose to be quiet first, and she would ask later.
While Kei just kept quiet, he didn't say a word. If they had met his parents, he felt that his life would be even harder to meet Layla.
"How about we go to my house, ma'am?" clara asked smiling.
"Of course it's okay son" Clara and Abdul said
"No!" Kei rejected Clara's proposal.
"Why Kei?" ask Clara again.
"Come, Papa's coming home." Whiney Keila spoiled.
'Yes dear" Kei replied.
Keila was pampered on Kei's arm. Keila pulls Kei's hand to get in the car. Eventually Clara decides to take Kei's parents to her house, though Kei strongly disapproves.
Along the way, Alya, Abdul and Clara introduce themselves and tell a lot of stories. Until they reach Clara's house, their conversation continues. Kei chooses to sleep with Keila.
"Layla.forgive me" he said.
