Love Smells

Chapter 77 Passes the Comma Period

After the post-surgery Dhita's condition improved, all the family felt very grateful and hoped Dhita back healthy as usual.

" Alhamdulillaah Ma'am, our daughter has survived" said Mr. Setyo as he continued to stroke her hair.

While the rest of the family is outside, they take turns to look after Dhita.

" Yes sir, I also feel very grateful that our daughter finally got the appropriate donor liver" replied Ms. Safitri who was sitting next to her husband.

" But.is not the image that....." Ms. Safitri did not continue her words.

" That made a scene at the wedding of our daughter Ma'am" said Mr. Setyo forwarded his wife's words.

" Yes, sir, how can he change so fast?" Mrs Safitri asked herself.

" Maybe God has opened his eyes, ma'am, we do'a, may he be a woman who is Sholeh." saran Pak Setyo to his wife.

Ms. Safitri nodded confirming her husband's words.

Shortly afterwards Mr. Setyo felt his daughter's hand move.

His fingers began to move.

Apparently Dhita has made it through the coma period.

" Dhita, my daughter!" sir Setyo was happy to see his daughter starting to move her hand.

Slowly but surely, Dhita began to open both her eyes.

He saw the shadow of his parents.

" Sir, Ma....!" dhita called out softly, her voice sounding faint as her mouth and nose were covered by an oxygen mask.

" Yes son," replied Mr. Setyo and Bu Safitri simultaneously while bringing his face closer to Dhita's face.

" Well.mas....A...r." said Dhita faltered.

" A moment I called." said Mr. Setyo then came out of the room to meet Arjuna who was sleeping in a long chair, which was located in the hospital corridor.

It just so happened that Arjuna was alone because the others had come home after visiting Dhita briefly post-surgery.

" It seems like he's very tired" muttered Mr. Setyo feeling unbearable to wake his sleeping son-in-law.

Finally, Mr. Setyo decided to undo his intentions.

" Let him wake up by himself, pity him," said Mr. Setyo and left.

Just a few steps Setyo walked, suddenly Arjuna's voice called out to him.

" Body!" call Arjuna when he sees his father-in-law about to enter Dhita's room.

" You've woken up Ar,?" ask Mr. Setyo to turn his body back.

" Yes sir, I'm sorry I overslept." replied Arjuna while fixing his seat.

" Dhita, she wants to see you!" mr. Setyo said that his daughter was conscious.

" My wife, is she dead, sir?" asked Arjuna with a smile.

" Yes, he's calling your name" replied Mr. Setyo reassuringly.

Without making small talk Arjuna directly entered the ICU room, without caring for Mr. Setyo who shook his head to see the behavior of his daughter-in-law.

And when Arjuna had reached the room, he saw his beloved wife glancing at him.

" Dhita, my wife!" exclaim Arjuna while approaching Dhita.

Then he sat down next to his wife.

" Mas.." Dhita's voice sounded very soft.

" How are you doing, the wound still hurts?" despite only waking up from her coma, Dhita still remembers about her husband who was injured as a result of Bastian's lash.

Dhita stretched out her hands to touch her husband's face.

While Bu Safitri felt bad if he was with his son and daughter-in-law for too long, he decided to come out.

" How are you, where's the sick?" arjuna asked while observing his wife's body covered in blankets.

" The pain is here mas," Dhita answered still in a weak voice, her hand pointing to the upper cavity of her abdomen that had scars from liver transplant surgery.

" I why mas?" tanya Dhita felt strange on her own condition, because all she remembered was the injured part of her back pierced by a knife.

But he also felt pain in the upper cavity of his stomach.

" You have liver failure" replied Arjuna, holding his wife's hand.

" Liver failed?" Dhita repeated her husband's words.

" Yes, and lucky Citra is willing to donate her heart to you" Arjuna explained, recounting all the events that his wife experienced while in a coma.

Starting from the doctor's statement about the disease in Idap Dhita until he managed to get a liver donor from Citra.

" Picture mas, where is he now?"

" I'm here!" the answer from the direction of the door came from Citra, he was sitting in a wheelchair with a nurse who helped him.

As in previous days, Dhita always smiled even though she was still a little forced, because she endured the pain in her back and upper abdomen.

" Picture, come here!" Dhita waved her hand despite being weak.

A nurse helps Citra push her wheelchair towards Dhita.

The image can not walk alone because the condition is still weak but not as weak as Dhita. He used a wheelchair to help her.

" Please leave us." Citra said to the nurse.

Then looked back at Dhita who was still lying weak.

" I'm sorry Dhi," Citra said softly, tears began to pool in her eyes.

" No Cit, nothing to forgive, I just want to thank you," Dhita tried to get up but her condition was too weak not possible.

" Ow!" tekik Dhita when he felt such intense pain in his body.

Dhita's face grimaced with pain.

Breathing gasps.

" Be careful dear," said Arjuna swiftly helping his wife justify the position of Dhita's body as before.

" You're still too weak, don't force it." The image pushed his own wheelchair closer towards Dhita.

" How are you doing?" Dhita still had time to ask the state of Citra, even though he was much worse.

" Don't think of me Dhi, I'm fine." replied Dhita, holding Dhita's hand, who was trying to get closer to her.

" If it wasn't for you, maybe I would have...."

The image placed his index finger on Dhita's lips.

While Arjuna watched them with happiness, eventually Citra changed for the better.

" No Dhi, you're a good man you'll live on to remind the bad guys like me." The image lowered its head.

" You're a good woman Cit, it's just that God still hasn't opened the door of your heart that time."

" And now seeing you change I'm so happy" Dhita said unceasingly, her lips outlining a smile.

" So from now on we all have to live in harmony, help each other is much more beautiful is not it," Arjuna who had just been silent, now spoke up.

His hatred for Citra seemed to disappear just like that, since Citra donated her heart to Dhita.

" Yes you're right Ar" Citra said staring fixedly at Arjuna.

As if I were still hoping for this guy.

Getting a fixed gaze from Citra, Arjuna immediately approached Dhita and kissed his wife's forehead with affection.

Not without reason he did that, only he wanted to remind Citra that he only belonged to Dhita Pratiwi.
