Love And Wounds

Danu's Secret

Kirana was in Keysha's room. The woman was holding a bowl and spoon trying to persuade Keysha to eat because from yesterday Keysha did not eat a single thing.

"Son, come on eat a little. hmmm.." coax Kirana.

Keysha just kept quiet and didn't chim in with his mother's words. His mind was raging, his heart still ached unable to accept that he had lost half his life, the child he was carrying.

"You'll be healed, son. We're just waiting for word from the donor so you can see again." Kirana explained.

"I don't need a donor or anything" Keysha said.

"If one day someone will donate his eyes to me, I will refuse" she said.

Hearing his daughter's words made Danu ride apitam. He was furious that Keysha did not want to receive an eye donor.

"You.." said Danu while pointing at her daughter.

"We're here trying to get you better, Keysha. Why are you even saying that?" Danu.

"Why do I see my world again, Pa? Even though I have healthy eyes, the world still feels dark to me. I found happiness when I knew that there was a heartbeat in my body. My heart warms as I greet her in the morning and at night." Keysha said, tears falling on her eyes.

"If I can choose, I want him to stay with me Pa. Even though it's impossible, I still hope that she's still in my womb."

Danu can't say anything anymore. He regretted forcing his will by having Keysha marry Kevin. He looked at Kirana, his wife's shoulder going up and down when he saw Keysha crumbling like this.

This incident reminded him at that time, they also had lost a child that made Kirana at that time was depressed.

The Danu and Kirana were a very small family. Both are far from being content. At that time Kirana was pregnant with their first child, of course, the news is good news for both.

At that time Danu was still working odd jobs. He sometimes works as a building contractor. Rough work but still on the halal track.

At that moment a disaster is befalling their small family, where Kirana accidentally slipped from the bathroom. Danu immediately took his wife to a nearby clinic because at that time it was because Kirana was bleeding.

Arriving at the clinic, Kirana is not directly handled by a doctor because Danu does not pay off his administration directly. Danu had argued at that time, even he knelt down to beg his wife for immediate handling.

"I'll pay off the rest soon, I promise it won't be long. Please save my wife and child." pinta Danu.

Long enough Danu begged, finally Kirana was immediately able to handle. Danu ran out to seek reinforcements for loans.

There were no friends in his life. Everything seems to close their eyes when Danu wants to borrow money. Eventually, Danu decides to borrow money from a loan shark.

The tenant is a man who lives a kara. He has quite a lot of wealth because of his success in business even though it is a black business, which is nothing but the illicit trade of crude oil.

The tenant will lend Danu the money on condition that the man must repay him with the services. Without a second thought, Danu agreed. The man took the money back to the hospital.

When he paid all the costs, he also got the bad news that his son could not be saved. Kirana is weak and cries and blames Danu for not being by her side when she is examined by a doctor. At that time, he was looking for a loan just to get the care of his wife.

Danu is upset because his life is not enough to be underestimated by others. If only the doctor was quick to handle her husband, of course they would not lose their future children.

Danu felt really bad. His wife was severely depressed because of the incident. Danu was determined that someday he would succeed, he did not care even though his success was on the wrong track.

Danu kept his promise to carry out the mission said by the loan shark to pay off his debts. Until in the end, Danu was sent to be the right hand of the loan shark.

Time went on long enough, and in the end the loan shark was stricken with a deadly disease. He also gave all the assets owned by Danu because the man was the one who always accompanied him during his life.

He laundered all the money in his account to make his illegal business a legitimate profit asset.

After making a lot of money, the two moved to the city. Danu started his business from scratch again. Because he was used to it and even became a sycophant it did not matter to him as long as the man benefited from the results of his hard work.

That's where he built a foundation. Create a boutique for the wife to have several branches. After achieving his success, both were again blessed with a child. Keysha's presence at that time was indeed warmly welcomed by both. Danu, however, doctored his wife not to give her excessive affection. Because the man was afraid that if something bad happened, Kirana went back into depression.

It was from then on that Kirana gave affection for her daughter secretly. Danu darkened his eyes due to his success. And Keysha never knew the story of his parents' past.

****

Danu and Kirana leave Keysha alone inside. Keysha really doesn't obey anyone. In his mind at this time there is only the figure of the child he dreamed of but now it is gone.

From a distance, Kevin came back while carrying Keysha's favorite food. He had heard the waiter when Keysha asked to make ketoprak, Kevin also brought the food.

From the glass Kevin looked at Keysha with his blank look. The man let out his breath lamenting the terrible fate that befell his wife.

"Please persuade Keysha to eat, she hasn't eaten since yesterday" Kirana told her daughter-in-law. The woman still showed Kevin a good attitude. While Danu threw away his face when he saw the presence of his daughter-in-law.

"I'll try to persuade him, Ma." - Kevin.

The man entered the room. He approached Keysha who was sitting while hugging his knee.

"Key, I'm here" said Kevin.

"I brought you your favorite food, ketoprak. I heard from some of the kitchen maids, you asked me to make this food." Kevin added.

"Stop persuading me, you don't know what I'm feeling right now. How could I swallow all that food?" timpal Keysha's.

"It's not just you, Key. I was also devastated when I found out that you were pregnant. I'm also upset why I didn't get any news about your pregnancy back then" Kevin explained.

"Tell you? You even ignored me. I intend to tell you about my pregnancy, but I haven't been able to tell you that you have given me bad news first." Keysha said.

"I'm sorry, how can you forgive me?" pinta Kevin's.

"Certify me!"

"Key, I'm not going to divorce you. I'm menci.."

"Don't say anything, Kevin! Your words won't change it. My decision is unanimous! since her loss there's been nothing left between us." - Keysha.

Kevin bowed lethargic while staring at the branch in his hand.
