249. Comma ...

Anna looked at her husband's face with teary eyes. Her lips seemed to be trembling as if she wanted to talk but not a single word came out of her lips.

"Kok diem the Bund ?. Where is my super cute and chatty Mother. Don't tell me now Mother is nervous because of the more slender Dad's ngling," Nathan's tease greeted the laughter of everyone in the room.

Nathan's words made Anna blush in shame. Bayan who saw him smiled and pulled Anna into his arms. A moment later Anna appeared sobbing while returning the husband's embrace.

The atmosphere in the room was filled with freshness. But a moment later the laughter reverberated in the room.

As promised to the doctor, Nathan did not give everyone a chance to ask about Bayan's condition. Nathan was always trying to shift the conversation and it worked.

Bayan can only lie down while listening to everyone's conversation. Sometimes he laughs at the behavior of Nathan, Nicko and Fikri while scrambling to tell their funny experiences. Beside her Anna seemed faithful to accompany. Bayan turned his head and smiled when he realized Anna was looking at him.

"Thank you for everything Bund. Sorry Dad for making you worried" Bayan said half-whispering.

"Ssttt .. don't say that. Mother sincerely does everything because Mother loves the same Father," said Anna with a smile.

"I am also very much like ... You, Anna ...," said Bayan earnestly, holding his wife's fingers tightly.

Of course Bayan's speech made Anna's face meet red. The woman was happy not dumbfounded to hear the husband's declaration of love. It feels the same as when Bayan proposed to her first.

Anna was moved and hugged her husband. Maybe Anna will continue to do so if Nathan doesn't remind her that Bayan needs a break, too.

After Bayan lay down and closed his eyes, Anna went to the sofa bed and lay there. Shortly after, Anna fell asleep. Very sound as if the fatigue waiting for Bayan Siuman for five days has paid off.

That night Nathan decided to go home. In addition to longing for his wife and three twins, Nathan also wants to give his parents a chance to express their longing.

"There must have been a lot of things that Dad and Mommy wanted to talk about after Dad didn't wake up for five days" Nathan said when Hilya asked him why he left his parents at the Hospital.

Anna woke up the next morning with a fresher body. He smiled to see Bayan still sleeping on the bed.

Anna got up and walked to the bathroom to clean herself and ablaze. Afterwards Anna performed the Fajr prayer in the room as usual.

When the clock strikes at seven in the morning, doctors and nurses enter the room to check on Bayan's condition.

But Anna was anxious when she saw the tension on the doctor's face.

"What's the doc, why is My Husband ?" ask Anna impatiently.

"What's this patient like since I left last night, ma'am ?" ask the doctor.

Anna frowned at the doctor's question. Her memory returned when the doctor came to check on her husband's condition shortly after awakening.

Anna remembers very well if she, her son and daughter-in-law had tried to fulfill the request of the doctor. They keep Bayan's emotions stable. They didn't even ask Bayan anything about the cause of the fainting for days.

"Mrs Anna ..," called the doctor and gently touched Anna's arm.

"Y-yes doc. My husband just had a little chat with me last night Doc. He also listened more than he spoke. What the hell is it, Doc?" ask Anna again.

"It is with a heavy heart that I must convey that now Mr. Bayan is in a coma. And the patient can be in this condition in an indefinite time. It could be longer than before" the doctor said carefully.

"What ...?!" anna said she couldn't believe it.

Although it was said carefully, it still made Anna surprised. Even so surprised Anna almost fell. Fortunately the nurse quickly held her body until the woman did not fall to the floor.

And it was at that crucial moment that Nathan, Nicko and Fikri came. The three barged in when they saw Anna crying.

"There's a Bund. Why are you crying ?" ask Nicko while hugging the mother tightly.

Anna just shook her head while pointing towards Bayan who was still lying down. Then the doctor explained what happened and of course it made Nathan, Nicko and Fikri shock instead of kepalang.

"But I was fine last night doc !" fikri said hysterically.

"Betul Mas's. There are blood vessels in the head that rupture because the blood pressure exceeds the normal threshold" said the doctor.

"Please do something doc !" pinta Nathan had unwittingly blocked the doctor's arm.

"Yes. But We also ask for cooperation from the family so as not to hinder and doubt Our performance," said the doctor while staring at the Bayan family alternately.

The doctor's words made Nathan sober and rushed to unravel his hand.

"I'm Sorry. But please do your best. We will fully support !" nathan said as he glanced at his two brothers.

Nathan and Fikri nodded quickly to make the doctor nod with a sigh of relief.

A year later.

Bayan looks fit despite having to sit in a wheelchair because both legs are not strong to support his body. Since waking up a month ago, Bayan is still routinely doing therapy. But it seems to have not produced results because Bayan still feels both legs numb aka numb.

Bayan smiled at Nathan and Hilya's activities with their three twins. At that time the twins were learning to walk on a stretch of grass in front of a large house.

"Come on, Hilman, Hanfa !. Cepetan over here. Mama's got something for you guys ...!" hilya said loudly while showing the twins' favorite candy and chocolate in her hands.

Hilal, Hilman and Hanfa seem to laugh while competing to reach the mama who stands far ahead. Hilya laughed when her three children woke up chasing her.

If Hilya is busy encouraging the twins, then Nathan is busy recording their activities.

The sound of laughter grew louder when Nicko and Fikri joined his family. Anna, who was standing behind Bayan, laughed at the behavior of her children, grandchildren and daughter-in-law.

Bayan turned his head and smiled seeing Anna laughing happily.

"Happy thirty-first anniversary Dear. Thanks for everything. Sorry for not being able to be what you want" Bayan said, clutching Anna's fingers tightly.

"Happy anniversary too darling. Thanks for everything. If you are careful, there will be no satisfied words. But I learned to be grateful for everything" said Anna.

"If you have to," cut Bayan quickly to make Anna laugh.

"It is important that you are always healthy and long-lived. That's enough," Anna said as she gently slapped Bayan's cheek.

Bayan smiled then pulled Anna into his arms. He also landed a long kiss on his wife's forehead.

"The last of his wealth will not be realized Deh Bund," said Bayan after peeping Anna's forehead.

"Lho why ?" asked Anna while looking at Bayan.

"I-I've been picked up ..," said Bayan as he looked straight behind Anna.

Anna looked back and saw no one there.

"Picked up who's Dad ?" ask Anna.

"Senjaaa ..," Bayan said as he pointed to a point.

Bayan's reply made Anna panic and scream hysterically. Everyone was shocked and rushed to Anna and Bayan.

When they arrived before Anna and Bayan, they saw Bayan had been sitting leaning back and closed his eyes. His mouth seemed to be softening.

"Laa .. ilaha .. ilallah ...," Bayan whispered, then silent.

Screams echoed again as Bayan's head drooped to the side. The sound of screams made the three Nathan twins cry in surprise. The originally peaceful atmosphere turned chaotic.

At that crucial moment Fikri reached out his hand to check the condition of the father.

"Inna Lillahi wainna ilaihi rojiuun ..," said Fikri with a trembling voice.

Shortly after Fikri finished his sentence Anna and her children cried. Hilya, Ayu and Ramadanti are busy calming their children. Tears seemed to break in their faces after witnessing 'traveling' Bayan.

Anna was standing in front of Bayan's grave. He stared at the gravestone bearing the names Bayan and Dusk alternately. There was a sense of pain greeting his heart as he watched the adjoining tomb.

"Finally you can unite with your true love Well ..," Anna muttered with a bitter smile.

"Mother wrong. True love is Father Mother. Because with Mommy, Dad has me and Nicko. It just so happened that Dad was buried next to Mama Dusk's grave. But it was at the request of Mother also earlier," Nathan said reminded.

"But ...," Anna's speech was interrupted.

"Even though Dad called Mama Dusk by the end of his life, but believe me. Mother who won her heart and body all this time" whispered Nathan while embracing the mother.

Miraculous. Nathan's words made Anna smile.

"You're right Nath. Mother who won Father's heart and body because We survived to the end" said Anna.

"Rubber. Now we go in yuk Bund. It's almost Maghrib, you know" Nathan asked.

Anna nodded and then stepped side by side with Nathan.

Before entering the house Anna turned back to look at the tomb and saw Bayan standing with a smile towards him. Anna also saw the figure of the woman in a pale yellow dress behind Bayan. Anna was sure it was Dusk.

Anna nodded her head while smiling a sign that she had made peace with her own feelings. After that, he closed the door of the house.

While turning around Anna's body was startled by the sounds of all her grandchildren calling her name. Anna laughed and hugged them. In an instant Anna also managed to get through the sadness after Bayan left forever.
