Mom For Bhara

65: A Horrible Day

“Mama..”

Natasya smiled bitterly at the weak call of her little son. Usually the boy would call out to her excitedly, but look now. Bhara looked helpless in Johnathan's lap.

“Hai, Darling,” greet Natasha to Bhara, “Bhara already ate, Son?”

The child simply nodded as he continued to look at Natasya's face with a sad look. Natasha and Johnathan throw grieving glances at each other as their usually cheerful son becomes moody.

“Bhala want to hug mom,” lirih Bhara.

Johnathan immediately moves Bhara's body into Natasya's lap. By the way, they met in a room without a glass barrier, so could freely interact.

Natasya clenched her son's small body and gently rubbed the boy's head. Meanwhile, Johnathan sat beside them with a gentle smile.

“Mama when to go home?” ask Bhara.

“A minute, Honey. Soon, mama will be home,” replied Natasya.

“Mama isn't lying, is it?” lirih Bhara who hesitates about her mother's speech.

Natasya chuckles, “of course not. Mama's really going home in a minute. Just waiting for the trial.”

“Mama ndak will be imprisoned, right?” ask Bhara again.

“Bhara...,” call Johnathan upon hearing a demanding question from Bhara.

Natasya looked at Johnathan while shaking her head, gesturing for her husband to remain silent.

“Why should mom be in jail? Mama is innocent,” Natasha replied casually, “iya right, Bhara?”

Bhara looked up to see his mother for a while, then back to the sniff in the warm embrace of the Woman, “iya... mama ndak calah.

Natasha smiled with satisfaction at her son's answer. Then, he looked briefly at Johnathan who had just been silent listening to the conversation of the mother and child.

“Ekhm...,” Johnathan cleared his throat before starting to speak, “Natasha..."

“Iya?” reply Natasya.

“Dad has spoken with the court to advance your trial schedule. He said the hearing will be held tomorrow morning,” Johnathan said.

Natasha nodded her head understandingly, “thank God, I can quickly get out of here.”

Johnathan smiled a little at Natasha who was relaxed and chose to enjoy time with Bhara who now began to sleep in the arms of the mother. But on the other hand, he felt quite worried due to Natasya's calm demeanor. I don't know, that woman doesn't seem to be emitting the right emotions.

“You okay?” ask Johnathan.

Natasha turned her head and scrunched her forehead, “of course. What's up?”

Johnathan shook his head slowly, “it's okay. It's just, your condition looks better than yesterday.”

Natasya chuckles softly, “Isn't that good, Doctor John? I need to stay in good condition for this problem to quickly finish.”

Johnathan was silent to hear it. The man's guess is very precise. This wife put aside her trauma and forced herself to look fine.

“You're not okay, Natasya,” says Johnathan.

Natasha's forehead wrinkled a sign of disagreeing with Johnathan's remark, “actually what does Doctor Johnathan want? Wasn't the doctor asking me to stay focused so that the case is over soon?”

“I ask you to forgive yourself, not to pretend to be okay,” rebut Johnathan.

“Quite, Doctor,” Natasya said, “do not make my mind more chaotic. I'm not pretending, but I'm trying.”

Johnathan could only sigh. The man chose to hold his wife's right hand gently.

Natasha smiled sincerely, “I know that, Doctor John. You are always there to support me. I don't need to share anything now, because there is no sadness that needs to be shared. The presence of you and our son is enough to calm me.”

That's how this little family faced post-kidnapping trauma that ended horribly a few days ago.

Natasya who tries to forgive herself and face her trauma with the help of drugs from a psychiatrist, Bhara who is quite devastated and confused by the tragic events that have happened to her and her mother, who is, and Johnathan who has been through all sorts of fears.

However, the three of them had gathered again. And they will try to heal from that trauma together.

...----------------...

On the other hand, Hendry had just come out of the student directorate office to take care of the leave on behalf of Natasya. The condition of his son-in-law is not possible to enter college in the near future. Even if the trial is over, Natasya still needs time to recover from the trauma.

“Dad!”

Hendry turned his head towards the source of the sound several meters in front of him.

“Oh, Alan!” reply Hendry when he saw his youngest son who just called him.

Alan ran over to get to his father. The father and son are now walking side by side.

“How, Dad? Already approved?” ask Alan.

“Aman,” replied Hendry, “Natasya got a leave of absence for three months.”

“What?! Just three months?! What is not less, Yah?” yell, Alan has objections.

Hendry grunted dejectedly, “less how, anyway? Natasha can see a psychiatrist while in college. Besides, do you think Natasya wants an extended leave? He will definitely be angry if until father apply for leave for him more than this.”

True, Alan just remembered that his best friend was the least like to leave college. In fact, one of Natasya's dreams is to graduate from college in 3.5 years.

Henry and Alan entered the same car. The plan is, they will go to the hospital to see Anjani.

“By the way, what do your friends think about this incident?” asked Hendry to the son who was focused on driving.

Alan raised his shoulders indifferently, “ya. sometimes they talked about Haikal's death. But so far, I haven't heard anyone vilify Natasya. Good, I won't let anyone insult my best friend.”

Hendry nodded his head in understanding.

“Dad,” call Alan makes Hendry turn his head, “what is Sabrina involved in this case?”

“Of course,” replied Hendry sure, “you know for yourself at that time, if Haikal had met Sabrina before the kidnapping happened.”

Alan recalled that, then nodded his head in understanding, “then, will Sabrina be punished for this case?”

“Of course!” exclaim Hendry.

That confident answer made Alan look at him with a puzzled look. Why does his father sound so sure?

“What father... has done something incriminating Sabrina?” ask Alan full of questions.

Hendry turned his head with a meaningful smile, “just relax, I know what you have to do. Sabrina will get the punishment she deserves.”

Alan smiled happily at his father. In his heart, he felt proud to have an all-great family.
