💮 Happy Reading, and good luck always 💮

''Son, mom and dad will be separated. So you should think about who will come with.'' Say Mother.

DEG.....

Lightning tub in broad daylight, somehow problem after problem comes together. He had just broken up from Dafa, but now he had to accept the fact that his father and mother were going to be separated. Iren wasn't too surprised if his parents would split up. Because lately his parents often quarrel because of their respective busyness and rarely have time for family. But that made Iren did not expect if his parents would split up so soon.

Seeing Iren who was silent but whose eyes were already filled with tears, made Hafiz panic and worry a little.

''Ren, what's wrong? Is there a problem at home?'' Ask Hafiz. Suddenly Iren cried loudly, it seemed like he could no longer hold back his tears. Hafiz intended to pull over first, but unexpectedly from the opposite direction there was a car driving very fast. Even a collision is inevitable. Iren is unconscious, while Hafiz is severely injured, as he protects Iren and uses his body to cover Iren's body from impact. So Hafiz was quite badly injured.

During the two weeks Iren was in a coma, neither of his parents visited him. Hafiz, due to an accident, had both legs paralyzed. He also spent the rest of his life in a wheelchair. After Iren regained consciousness, Iren always blamed himself for what happened to Hafiz.

flashback off

Alif fell silent after hearing what Mira told him. Alif accidentally searches for Mira after he drives Iren home. Alif wanted to wait until Iren told him himself. But considering how Iren is, it seems that even though the sky is collapsing, he will never want to tell a story.

''So it was because of that jerk that made Iren become like this?'' Alif asked after he was silent for quite a while.

''I also do not know that about it, it could also be because of the divorce of his parents. I'm the only one whose best friend doesn't know about Dafa. I only often heard that Iren had a girlfriend and was engaged to the man who helped her, Dafa. I kept urging my brother to tell me what happened to Iren, only then did I know it happened.''

''And do you know Lif, ever since that accident, Iren has always blamed himself so much that he insisted on taking care of my own brother. No one in our family blamed him. Because it may have been the destiny and will of God. But Iren did not think so, Iren ended up staying with us to take care of my brother.''

''My brother feels so sorry for her, he doesn't want Iren to spend the rest of his life just taking care of her. Therefore, my sister asked to move abroad with my father and mother so that Iren could enjoy his youth. But after the departure of my brother, it turns out Iren even prefers to return to this village, said Mira.

''Then, how could Jils know about Irena's engagement?'' Ask Alif.

''After the divorce of her parents, it turns out that her father Iren married the younger brother of her mother Jils. Maybe the tantenya told me, ate the damn girl can tell! I really want to tear his mouth. Swear to!'' Mira really wants to vent her emotions. But unfortunately, her husband always had a way to make her unable to do anything.

''I will protect her Mir, '' said Alif spontaneously.

''Ha? What did you say?'' Mira actually knows that Alif likes Iren. He also thinks that Iren actually still has a taste for Alif. Two people who still love each other, but why fate seems to play with their love.

''Dear, Mura cry!'' Shouted Dimas from inside.

''Yaaaa! I've heard it. Even your daughter's voice reaches Hong Kong.'' Mira. His daughter if crying is very loud voice. Mira also say goodbye to Alif, and advised Alif not to discuss anything about Iren's past in the city.

...................

The next day, Mira had arrived in front of Iren's house. But the house was still tightly shut.

''Is the girl not awake yet?'' Inner Mira. He then knocked on the door of the house. But after a long time of knocking, there was no answer and even like there was no one inside. Mira tried to look from behind the window, Mira was very surprised when she saw Iren lying on the floor near the fireplace. He immediately tried to open the door while shouting for his best friend, but still there was no answer and the door could not be opened. Because Iren locked it from the inside. Fortunately, Alif came with the artisans. Alif was confused when he saw Mira in a state of panic.

''What are you doing Mir? Why are you screaming?'' Alif asked who was confused to see Mira in a state of panic.

''If, please Iren Lif! Looks like Iren passed out. Since then, I have been calling his name, but he did not wake up. Look out the window! Iren was lying on the floor!'' Mira.

Alif panicked after seeing her. He asked the builders to open the door. After the door was successfully opened, Alif immediately approached Iren and it turned out to be true, Irena was unconscious with several bottles of medicine scattered beside her.

''What happened to Iren? after you deliver it. Did you guys fight last night?'' Ask Mira to Alif.

''No, we didn't fight at all. Even when I came home, he was still smiling and fine, Alif said.

''Wawat! Don't-don't...''

''Don't-Don't what Mir?'' Ask Alif. Because Mira didn't continue her words.

''Actually after that incident, Iren was severely traumatized. He also took tranquilizers. We accompanied him to consult with the doctor. And the doctor said, because some of the events that happened to Irena, made her mentally shaken. And it can recur anytime. But we did not expect, if it turns out that Iren had always harbored it himself. We don't think the disease is coming back. Because Iren never showed any symptoms and even he never told us anything, said Mira.

''The official immediately took Iren to the hospital to get help. Panic and worry were clearly drawn on the faces of Alif and Mira. The doctor checked Irena's condition and said Iren just needed time to rest. It seemed like he was extremely exhausted and was overly fouling his mind. The doctor also advised not to bring up anything that makes the patient relapse.

Mira can't stay in the hospital. Because because of panic, his daughter was left to the artisans. Mira was also happy to go home first. While Alif is guarding Iren.

''Why are you doing this Ren? I hope, after this you won't do it again. I promise, I'll take care of you, and protect you. From now on, I will never let anyone hurt you again. I hope you wake up Ren.'' Inner Alif while grasping Iren's palm.
