"Dear." Leon approached Risma who was still lying on the bed, while closing her eyes. His clothes have been changed with his clothes.
Leon immediately sat on the chair beside the bed, he touched his wife's cold hand. A sense of regret also appeared, his heart was also sliced to see the state of his wife now.
'Stupid. Idiotically. You're such a fool, Leon.' inwardly.
Risma did not reply to Leon's clasping in her left hand, she just kept quiet, crying silently. Her tears came out even though she was still closed.
"Dear, I'm sorry." Leon rubbed Risma's tears, knowing that the wife was not sleeping.
Risma remained silent, her eyes were still tightly closed, the anger towards Leon was still great. She did not want to open her eyes and look at that face, it could be that she hit her husband if until he looked at her husband. Truly, right now he was very angry at Leon.
Leon raised his wife's hand and several times gave a warm kiss in the tiny hand, he cried, what else his wife did not return his words. Never say, open your eyes not.
Leon kissed his wife's forehead several times, he even hugged his wife. His face, he hid in the chuckle of Risma's neck, while saying the word 'sorry' continues. As for Risma, she was getting crybaby as well, she could hear Leon's sweet voice even a few times a hiccup.
This was the first time she had heard her husband crying so hard, even though his eyes remained closed, but she could feel Leon's tears drenching his neck.
Puk!
Collapsed was Risma's defense, he could no longer defend. She returned her husband's embrace, her heart also sliced to hear Leon cry. She could feel that her husband was really sorry and did not intentionally do that.
"Darling, I'm really sorry" said Leon.
"Why, Brother. Why?" Risma finally made a sound even though it was still closed.
Leon was still in his position, crying, even a hiccup and it could be felt Risma.
"I thought that, Elsa. Without thinking and looking."
"Hiks. Hiks .. but it's you, honey. I-I really wasn't as intentional," he continued.
Risma was silent again, she did not want to reply to Leon's words. It felt, his body was also tired, just like his mind, he did not want to argue just yet now.
"Ka-because of my carelessness, I made you bleed .. ba-even miscarry. Hicks, hicks ...." Leon cried again, even his embrace tightened.
Degh's!
Instantly Risma opened her eyes and released her embrace to Leon. His heart was beating harder than before, as if it wanted to escape from the crack of his chest. Hearing Leon's recent remarks, he could conclude that the Doctor said that she was pregnant at this time.
"Thus ... The doctor said-"
"Yes, Honey. The doctor said that you were bleeding, so Aunt Diva concluded that you had a miscarriage." Leon cut his wife's words.
"Leave me alone, brother."
Leon immediately let go of his embrace and woke up. "No, honey," he refused.
Leon again grabbed Risma's hand and kissed her many times. He also rubbed Risma's cheeks wet from tears.
Risma looked at Leon's face reddened by crying, even those eyes and nose were also alkaline. Now that face, it looks like Deren's face when he's fighting.
"Why, Brother?" Risma asked again hearing tears getting louder.
Leon who was asked only silence and shook his head, it was in response that if he really did not intentionally do it, his tears were back in his cheeks, Leon was completely destroyed.
"You killed your own son, brother."
"I didn't mean it, honey."
"Even if you accidentally kill him!"
"Darling, I-I"
"Out, Brother. BUOOOOOO!" Risma shouted loudly.
Leon shook his head again, "no. I'm not going out" he replied.
Nah!
The door opens from the outside, Dion's the culprit. He opened the door because he heard the sound of Risma's loud cry, Dion approached Leon, followed by Doctor Diva and Yuna.
Dion looked sadly at his brother-in-law, and he felt that sadness too. He knows what it's like to lose something we love so much.
"Sister, let him rest first." Dion patted Leon's back slowly.
Doctor Diva came over and rubbed Leon's back gently, "yes, Leon. Don't make him more depressed, son."
Leon shook his head, "no, Aunt. Let me stay here."
Risma now turned away, she did not want to see the face of her husband. The disappointment towards Leon was so great, as big as his current hatred.
Nah! Nah! Nah!
The sound of footsteps rang out loud from the direction of the shade, there appeared two different people of the type who were quite old, with faces of anxiety, they approached the bed that was occupied by Risma.
"Actually, what's going on?" ask the man.
"Mommy, Papi." Dion turned to look at his parents.
While the woman who was none other than her mama, Leon, immediately covered her mouth with one hand, she was really shocked by the look of her now. His son-in-law was lying weak, with an intravenous needle attached to his right hand, at the end of his forehead also a bandage.
"Actually, what happened, Dion?" The father asked back.
Mr. Andi did not know the truth, he only received a call from Doctor Diva, who told him to go to the hospital, not forgetting to tell them to come together.
"He fell down the stairs, Pih." Dion replied slowly.
"How did he fall, where have you been?" Now Mr. Andi looked at Dion, waiting for his son's answer.
"That-"
"It's all because of me, Pih." Leon cuts off Dion who wants to answer his papi. Now she stood up to let her mom sit down and look at Risma.
"You mean, what's Leon?" Mr. Andi's forehead was also wrinkled to hear his son's answer.
"What did you do to your wife?"
"Ak-I accidentally jerked her hand, while touching my shoulder. I think it's Elsa."
"So, that made him fall down the stairs?"
"I-yes, Pih."
Mr. Andi can only sigh loud to his son's answer, how can it be as reckless as that? He even made his wife fall down the stairs and end up in the hospital.
"What makes you do that, Leon? Did you guys fight?" Now her mother asked, even though she kept staring at her daughter-in-law's face.
"Sorry, Mih."
"Why are you fighting?" The father asked again.
Leon took out a piece from his front pants pocket and handed it to his papa. Although there was doubt, but he still gave up the thing.
"Because of this, Pih."
Mr. Andi took it, looked at it and opened it sheet by sheet. His eyes were wide, looking at who was in the photo. Mr. Andi clearly knows who the photo of the woman and the man.
"Giovanni?" lirih pak Andi's.
"But you know him?" Leon asked because he heard the words of his papi earlier, even though the voice of his papi was small, still he could hear it.
Mr. Andi is now looking at Leon. "So this, that got you into a fight? You almost killed your wife!" snapped it.
"It's not just his wife, Andi. But, because of his carelessness, even made his wife miscarry," said Doctor Diva.
"What?!" said simultaneously Mr. Andi and his wife.
"Yes. Risma had bleeding when she fell." The Diva Doctor replied.
Plaque!
The sound of slaps rang out loudly in the room, everyone was shocked to see it. Mr. Andi was really angry because of Leon's actions, really Leon's actions have crossed the line, only because the photo even made his wife miscarry.
"What are you doing, Leon?!"
Leon was still silent, the pain mixed with numbness on his cheek, even the corner of his lips was bleeding from the slap earlier.
"Only because of that, you killed your son! What's on your mind, Leon?" Mr. Andi again wanted to slap Leon, but was stopped by his wife.
Leon looked at his papa. Her tears rolled back down those smooth cheeks. He did not step, his papa snapped and slapped him, this was the first time in his life.
"The fire said 'only'? Pih, which husband is not jealous, if he sees his wife hugging another man. Not just once, but over and over again .. If I ask, he's just answering that the guy's cousin, Riki."
"Cousin?" Mr. Andi's forehead was wrinkled to hear Leon's words, now his eyes were turned on his daughter-in-law who was lying down.
Risma who saw the gaze of her in-laws, who was full of question marks only shook her head slowly. Begging her in-laws not to tell the truth.
"Whose husband isn't jealous, huh? I have feelings too, Pih. If indeed they were only cousins, why did they embrace so tightly, as if giving up longing, like lovers who had been separated for so long." Leon put out all his thoughts all along.
"But not so rudely, Leon. Even you made your wife miscarry!"
"I told you, Pih. I was completely unintentional. Wherever there is, a great father kills his son." Leon Lembali answered his papa.
"So now you feel right, not guilty at all? That so?!"
"White, I-I"
Plaque!
Now, the second slap has landed perfectly on Leon's cheek, even his face was also turned to the side, so hard Pak Andi slapped him. Even Pak Andi pulled Leon's collar with both hands, "what is this, what did Papi teach you? You even solved your problems with might!"
Wanting to feel Adi gave another slap to Leon, he realized that Leon accidentally jerked his wife's hand earlier.
"Current, already. Istigfar, Pih." Mami Leon tried to calm her husband, this is the first time, she saw the anger of Pak Andi.
Risma immediately got up from the bed, went down the bed slowly, even though Dion had kept her from lying down, but Risma still wanted to get up, finally Dion helped Risma to get up and down the bed.
"Let it, Mih. Papi's right, I've failed to be a good husband."
"Later awake, YES!" Mr. Andi again raised his hand, wanting to land the slap the third time, but was stopped by Risma.
"Already, Pih. Don't hit Leon again. He was also unintentional" he said. Risma immediately hugged Leon from the front, afraid if Pak Andi slapped her husband again.
Risma looked up at Leon's face, the blood on the corner of Leon's lips getting more and more because of getting a second slap of his papi, smooth and white cheeks that now look reddened, even slightly swollen, clearly visible is also the former fingers of Mr. Andi.
Risma cried again to see her husband's face, she hugged Leon again, hid her face in the chest of her husband's field. Leon was the same, he also hugged his wife and even manangis rushing again. The whisper of the word 'sorry' remained repeated several times in Risma's ears.
Everyone in the room wept, seeing the couple hugging each other while crying.
Mr. Andi also shed tears, he realized, that this was the first time he yelled at Leon, even slapped his son too. Never at all did he do that, he was a father who always loved and spoiled his children. But, he was completely furious with the stab of Leon, who was instantly enraged without finding out the problem first.
He also thought that it would be better for him to beat his son than for this matter to be known to Giovanni. Maybe his son lives by name, if Giovanni beat Leon.
And Mami Leon. He only realized that there was someone else standing in the room, even though it was quite far from them, it was still someone else among them.
"Wait, who's that girl?"
