LOVE IS A WOUND

Chapter 43. I'm Deformed

The morning after breakfast Rangga sat on the bed. He sees Love with a blank look. Repeatedly, he tried to open his mouth, but not a single word came out of his lips. He bit his lips and looked at the ceiling tensely.

Seeing her husband like that, Love was worried. She hugged her husband's arm and said, "Mas Rangga, what is Mas thinking? Why are you like that?"

Rangga looked at Love, and her tears came down. He said in a hoarse voice, "Love, I. What can I do with a wheelchair?"

Love frowned, and said, "Mas, this is all just temporary. You don't have to think about that anymore. Everything's gonna be fine. I'll be able to get back to normal and walk."

Rangga laughed bitterly, "Why yesterday I didn't just leave. I've been sentenced. This must be all in return for my crimes, especially with you. My life has been different. I'm just a disabled man right now" he said sobbing.

Love swallows saliva, "No, Mas. Nothing has changed. You're still the same guy. Which makes me fall in love." Slowly, she embraced her husband.

Rangga sighed. "Love, I can't do much more. I'll just be a burden to people."

Love looked at her husband sharply, "I'm sure you're still a good father to me and our son. We still have the same dream and the same opportunity. We just need to change the way we see things in life."

Rangga raised his face and opened his eyes. "How about my job and my company? What about our lives someday?"

Love smiled, "We'll finish it together. We'll find a way out."

"Are you sure? I can't do much anymore." Rangga shook his head.

Love raised his gaze, "I'm sure Mas can still do many things, as long as you are together with us. Never feel tired or unable to do something, as long as you are still with your family. There's a Nick Bang who'll help."

Rangga sighed and hugged his wife. "I'm lucky to have you all, thank you for making me feel better" Rangga said.

In silence, Love smiles. She knew that her husband would rise from adversity and remain a good husband and father. No lack of physicality will change the love and affection in their family.

Nick and mama arrive at the nurse's room with a lot of food the middle-aged woman comes in. Rangga immediately wiped the rest of the tears on his cheeks.

"Good Morning Rangga, Love," said Mama. Love immediately stood up and peeked at the woman's cheek.

Nick sat on the sofa in the room. He just greeted with a smile.

"Please bring breakfast. You should eat. Remember your baby" said Mama.

My mom opened the breakfast she bought. Sit near Love and start feeding the woman. Love had refused her and wanted to eat alone, but she insisted that she feed Love a lot.

Rangga stared without a blink of the interaction of the two. She felt ashamed of Mama Merlin. The woman can immediately love and love Love even though she just met. That's proof that the woman is so good.

After Love finished her breakfast. Nick and Mama said goodbye, because they had to finish the job.

"Sorry, Honey. Mama cannot accompany you. Mama has to finish the job she left this week, if you need your help or Nick, you call us right away" said Mama with a guilty face.

"Ma, I can take care of Mas Rangga myself. Mom just finish her job. Don't feel so bad" Love said by hugging the waist of the woman he had considered to be his real mother.

Mom then kissed Love's cheek. Smiling happily at Love who had begun to return cheerful, unlike when Rangga was lying in a coma.

"Remember, you also have to take care of your health. Don't eat late. If you are sick, who will take care of Rangga later." Mama said while rubbing the cheeks Love like talking to a child.

"Yes, Ma. Mama must also take care of her health" replied Love.

Mama Merlin and Nick say goodbye to Rangga and Cinta. The woman walked to the door. After the two are lost from sight, Love re-enters her husband's room.

"You're lucky to find a new family like Mama and Nick" Rangga said.

Love smile. He sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Rangga lovingly.

"I'm also lucky to have you, Mas," said Love to make Rangga feel appreciated.

"I am very lucky to have you. Please don't leave me. I want to be with you until we age" said Rangga with a hand held Love.

"But I ask Mas must be eager to heal. Let's see when our son is born, Mas can help me look after him."

Rangga nodded his head in response. Close his face, and kiss the forehead of Love with tenderness.
