Loving You In The Dark

THE THIRD MEETING

Dion is now in the post-surgery treatment room, there are several broken bones between his calf bones and his hand and still a few more injuries.

Dion was among the lucky ones, as both of his friends, Bram and Yudha died at the scene.

The others, fared almost similar to dion, which suffered injuries and fractures.

Dion was still unconscious at the time, even though his condition was stable.

There was Ummi and Abi who were always at his side, and never broke up praying' for his recovery.

**

Slowly Dion tried to open his eyes, and he saw the situation around him.

Dion remembers once, the fateful incident that befell him, and his friends.

I see his ummi asleep with a sitting position and his head is leaning on the mattress on his bed.

Iya feel guilty to his ummi, if only he heard the advice of Ummi, of course this incident will not happen .

Even yes now do not know, like the fate of his five friends.Dion again felt pain all over his body, and so sick, he fainted again.

Dion has been in the hospital for almost two weeks, and now he has been able to go home.

Dion still had to use a wheelchair at that time, because he could not walk, and he had to use a cane to walk, at least six months to a year back.

The accident not only broke his feet and hands, but also his spirit. Dion must now bury his dream as a professional basketball athlete.

In addition, he turned into a quiet and very low self, he did not even want to go out, even though he was only on the porch of his house.

Dion was in a wheelchair all day and was only in his room. There was nothing Dion did except to daydream with his empty eyes.

Seeing the state of his son, Ummi Dion felt sad and tried to advise him.

"Dion," said ummi.

Dion did not answer but did not look at Ummi.

"Dion, Ummi knows you are saddened by your current state" she said, rubbing Dion's head affectionately.

"But son, you should be grateful, because you survived the incident, unlike your two friends, Yudha and Bram who died in the accident."

"So did Trya who had to give up one of her legs in an amputation."

"Dion as long as you are patient and sure, you will be healed son," continued Ummi, but Dion remained fixated, silent without the slightest adornment of his Ummi words.

It has been a month since the incident occurred, and Dion's condition has improved.

Dion changed drastically, yes is now a figure who is shy and inferior.The days are passed with solitude and sadness.

Ummi Dion intends to take Dion to a disability rehabilitation center. Ummi hopes that Dion's mental and life spirit will recover.And Dion can appreciate his life, which is now.

They had arrived, and Ummi brought Dion in, but Dion refused.

"What is Ummi?" ask Dion.

"Here is the place of rehabilitation of people with disabilities, here they are not only physically recovered, but maybe also mentally."

"You will study here for a while" Ummi said.

"I mean Ummi, Dion has become disabled right? " ask Dion sadly.

"Maybe by seeing and hanging out with them, you will become a grateful person."

"At least, you're luckier than them."

"There you are taught to work on making sculptures, ceramics and painting, you will be preoccupied with useful things" Ummi Dion said in length.

"No Ummi!" Dion snapped at Ummi.

"This time you have to want Dion or Ummi to take you to your pesantren mr de'm." Ummi Dion threatened.

"You never heard of Ummi, Dion."

"Then you're like this." she said again.

Dion was forced to obey his Ummi and enter the orphanage.

There Dion saw, little children playing with his carefree in the yard, They felt no burden in their lives.

It turns out that the place also accommodates children who drop out of school and there are also some people who also use a cane to walk like themselves.

Dion was getting upset with his Ummi, for bringing him to a place like this.

Dion walked while grumbling until he had unknowingly bumped into the person in front of him.

"Hi, if the road uses eyes," said Dion annoyed, because yes it has been upset before.

"Blind, huh ?"sergeant Dion again.

As Dion hits a girl, the girl then fumbles at the felt of the item that fell on the floor and picks it up.

After getting the item, the girl walked slowly, fumbling with her cane.

Dion realized that the girl was blind.

Dion was stunned, he felt guilty for yelling at the girl and insulting her, but he had to, who apologized for nudging the girl.

Dion then looked around some of the rooms there, there he saw them learn to paint, make sculptures and others.

Most of them had physical flaws, but they could work even more than normal people.

Dion awakens from his daydreams when Ummi comes to his approach.

Ummi then brought her into a room, and there were some children who were younger than him.

Dion sat down, apparently there was a therapy room for their scrape recovery. Dion hears narratives and orations from caregivers aimed at supporting and encouraging them.

Dion did not care even impressed acu.Tak in the slightest did hear his.iya even busy with his handpon.

Furthermore, Dion was told to choose several classes, there were several classes such as sewing, sculpting and making sculptures and ceramics, painting and much more.

According to Dion everything feels boring, and no one attracts her.

Dion was bored, and wanted to quickly leave the place.After being forced Ummi Dion also chose a fine art class.

Dion and Ummi, then intend to go home, yes back to the relationship with the girl who was hit earlier.

Dion can now see her face a little clearly, it turns out that the girl is beautiful, but it is not her beauty that attracts Dion, but it is like a stranger to the face of the girl.

But then Dion just passed by, without apologizing to the girl.
