Love for the Mentari

Disgustedly

Riri finally came home after two nights in the hospital. For two days Riri did not talk much. He more often rested because of the influence of drugs and psychic fatigue that he faced.

Damar and Sugi did not dare to ask much about his condition, because every time they discussed Hadi he always looked agitated, then nauseous and vomited his stomach contents at that time.

The incident was very imprinted in his mind, he felt disgusted every time he heard the name Hadi called. He has not been able to get rid of the smell of cigarette smoke and liquor that he had breathed from Hadi's mouth from his mind.

Along with Dion, Damar dropped off their belongings from the car. While Riri on the orders of Damar has first entered the house and is now sitting on a couch in the living room. He seems less excited.

"Dance, the business of villas and stalls let me handle it for a while. You better take a long leave. Do whatever makes you calmer" said Damar with a worried face, he sat next to Riri.

Dion just silently looked at Damar with a confused face. He felt the atmosphere of this house was not as usual warm and full of laughter.

Riri just nodded not answering Damar's words, he seemed to close his eyes and occasionally sigh.

"Dance, you're okay, right? For two days we all felt different. You keep your distance from us, like there's a high wall around you. I'm confused, Dance, try to tell me what's on your mind"

Riri was unmoved, there was no sign that he would answer Damar's words

"Come on Dance, help me to understand how you feel. You don't pity us, we all love you Dance. Especially Sam, during his time in the hospital he felt the most guilty about your situation now. Even to get close to you he hesitated once"

Damar breathed

"I know what you're going through is hard, but at least you can share it with me or anyone, I'm not calm to see you like this"

Riri opened her eyes, she turned towards Damar. He looked doubtful but then he finally opened his mouth "I feel disgusted kak" his tears back in his voice sounded trembling

"I can't remove the foul smell of her mouth from my memory" Riri said with tears streaming down her eyes

"Even now all the things that I breathe smell just as rotten ... I'm even disgusted by my own body odor"

Damar brought himself closer and hugged Riri with a feeling of sadness and pity. He tried hard to hold back his tears that had also been welled up.

"Dance.." she said softly while stroking her back.

"Everything will be fine, this too will pass. You're strong, I'm sure we'll get through this well. We'll always be there for you"

Tari's crying became in her brother's arms. He looks weak and helpless.

Dion looks sad, he can't do anything right now. Suddenly he remembered his uncle Yanuar, a psychiatrist who was the younger brother of his mother. Uncle Yanuar is one of the best psychiatrists at the moment who he is sure can overcome the traumatic experienced by Riri. But he wanted to wait for the right moment before throwing the idea at Damar.

After crying, the exhausted Riri finally fell asleep in Damar's arms. He was also in a carriage to his room.

Damar's phone vibrated, Sugi made a call

"Yes Sam" Damar replied as he climbed down the stairs

"Where's Riri?"

"Dari just went to sleep, she's exhausted Sam. He experienced PSTD (post traumatic stress disorder) exactly as the doctor thought yesterday, and we also had a chance to discuss this before, right?!"

Sugi was silent for a while, Damar also knew that Sugi was sad and disappointed in himself.

"Calm Sam, we'll help my brother recover. You don't have to think things through. You're here, right?!"

"Dad wants to be a little while after my business is done, but I'm afraid Riri refuses to see me. Last night he said he wanted to be alone for a while" Sugi said slowly

"Here you come. We'll talk slowly later with Dance. The good news since he fell asleep was that there hasn't been a single time that he's delirious like yesterday"

"Oh yeah?! Nice dong. Ok I must have come" closed it short

Damar then opened an online food delivery app, ordered some food and put his phone back in his shirt pocket

Dion stared at him unblinkingly.

"You why Dion?!" Damar asked, he knew Dion wanted to tell him something

"Hmm should we take Riri to a psychiatrist?!"

"My plan is so, hopefully he will. I'm afraid she's afraid and refuses, so Dance can be more and more shut out of us even everyone"

Damar nodded "later to discuss his plan. I don't want us to directly say we want to take him to a psychiatrist"

"I know what you mean by brother. Later I try to talk to uncle who knows who can meet him at my mother's house outside of work hours while chatting ordinary"

Damar smiled in relief, he felt half his burden lifted at this moment.

"Dion I'm so grateful for all your help to me and Dance"

"Ah this is not how big, only the two of you accepted me well even though everyone said I was bad and useless. Even I've been considered a sister by you it's been amazing to me" Dion smiled broadly revealing his white teeth

Damar patted his shoulder "Iya Dion... Yes" he replied, smiling

They then return to their respective activities. Damar and Dion look busy with his Notebook at the dinner table. For a few days, their work has been neglected. Especially Damar, in addition to taking care of his own company he also had to check the bookkeeping and some reports from the Priboemi stalls and Villa Lembayung.

The day went by dusk and the sound of a gate opening and a car coming inside. The typical Sugi's firm footsteps sounded closer.

"Rio, is Riri awake?" tanyanya while sitting at the dining table

"No, check up" Damar replied with a calm face and a reassuring look as if to say Riri was fine, and he didn't have to worry too much.

Sugi looked at Damar for a moment with doubt, but finally he rushed up the stairs to go to Riri's room. He actually could not help but look at his situation today

Mr. Doni also sat next to Damar. He whispered to Dion. I don't know what they're talking about

Sugi without a sound slowly entered his room. He looked at Riri's face that looked innocent and calm in his sleep. His hand stretched out to touch his cheek, but he did. He was afraid that Riri would be surprised and disturb his rest.

He remembered two days ago in the hospital. Several times he calmed down the delirious Riri in fear in his sleep. But this time he was quite happy because his sleep turned out to be more sound than in the hospital.

Sugi then came out of Riri's room to discuss some things with Damar.

"Your business is done?" Ask Damar and Dion.

"I have" replied Dion

"I again check the report, all the while" Sahut Damar without looking at Sugi

"I brought word about Silvi. My mom said she'd be transferred to the Mental Hospital age checkup from the doctor at the time"

"Place fits" Dion chirped with an annoyed face

"Well pregnant, right?! pity is also. But it was not comparable to what he had done to Tari" Damar shook his head

"She miscarried in a cell yesterday when her parents visited. Now being treated in the hospital" Sugi said, he sighed, there was as much pity in his eyes. Especially after he heard the story from his mother that Silvi now looks very sad.

A second later everyone fell silent with their own thoughts

"What about Hadi?" ask Damar

"So he's still hospitalized, and it's likely that his legs won't be able to function back to normal"

This time Damar looks upset "Why don't you get his brain anyway?!" ketus

"I also heard the information about his claim, he was charged with kidnapping and detention, attempted rape* and the threat of his imprisonment of about 18-20 years"

Damar's face hardened, he looked dissatisfied with the information.

"But don't worry I'll make sure he's given the maximum penalty" Sugi continued

Although Damar still looks disappointed but he still nods his mind to Sugi

"I intend to take Riri to a psychiatrist" Damar turned to Sugi

"Dad it looks like it was necessary"

Dion approached himself to discuss their plan to introduce Riri carefully to the psychiatrist in question at Ms. Siska's house
