My wife Little Child

Chapter 17

Dira just finished attending all the courses. His hands were nimbly typing something on his hp. Yes, he just booked a taxi service online. Because today no one can pick him up, and Sisi was on vacation, aka no lecture schedule.

He accelerated his pace towards the front stop of the campus. Shortly after, his phone rang...

"Hello, assalamu'alaikum Ma..."

"Wa'alaikumsalam," replied Mama across the street, sobbing.

"Mama cry...?? What's the matter, Ma...??" tanya Dira was full of anxiety.

"Dira... Papa you.." said Mama stammered.

"Why is Maa...??"

"Your father fell in the bathroom of his office this afternoon. He was taken to Pelita Harapan Hospital... Doctor's sins, Papa you had a sudden heart attack. Papa was in a coma and treated in the ICU." continued Mama while sobbing.

"How are you doing now, Ma...??" dira asked worriedly, and she also started crying.

"Now Papa's condition is starting to improve. And it's been moved to the ward..."

Isakan Dira is getting louder. "Do you know which room Papa's in?"

Mama immediately told the floor and room where Papa was treated.

*****

Pelita Harapan Hospital.

"Sir, Papa...!" Dira barged into a room numbered 408.

He saw Papa lying on a hospital bed with a pale and weak face. An infusion hose was placed in his hand. Half-run Dira approached her papa.

"Papa... Dira please... Papa don't do anything... Papa must be healed.." he hugged his papa.

"Mafin Dira Pa.., because he has become an ungodly child." Dira's cries get louder.

"From now on, Dira will recite all of Papa's words... Dira will obey Papa... Papa's origin is healed...!" the crying of Dira is becoming more and more.

Papa stroked Dira's hair weakly.

Dira tried to stop crying, wiping away her tears. Then he took a deep breath, "Dira was willing to accept the match...!"

Papa, as well as Mama who was standing next to Dira, looked so shocked.

"You.. sure, honey...?" ask me weak papa.

Dira nodded steadily, "During this time, Dira had never been happy Mama and Papa. If this matchmaking can make Mama and Papa happy, Dira will do it. Provenance... Papa should be healed...,"

Papa and Mama's eyes looked teary, holding haru.

"Thank you very much, dear..," said Papa softly.

A week later.

That morning, as usual, Papa was getting ready to go to the office.

"Pa.." muttered Mama while putting a tie on her husband's shirt.

"What's the fuck you talking about...?"

"Yes, of course, about our lies Pa. Our play at the time, if Papa had a heart attack. Mama's a messian with Dira, because we've been lying to her...,"

"What can I do Ma. That's the only way. So that he would accept this match. Shh, already. We don't talk about this anymore. It's just our secret, and so is Adit. If Dira finds out, she's probably getting mad at us,"

Lady Amanda can't say anything more.

*****

On Sunday, a cafe.

"What the hell is it, honey? Tumben, you asked for a sudden meeting of gini," asked Alif softly.

Dira was silent for a moment, trying to gather courage. Then, he held Alif's hand slowly.

"Lif, I'm sorry..."

Alif scrunched his forehead, suddenly his feelings became uneasy.

"Would have... From now on. we... Breakup."

Alif stuck amazing. It was as if a huge hammer had struck his chest.

"You... kidding right...?" he pulled his hand out quickly.

"I'm serious" continued Dira while trying to take her eyes off Alif.

"But why...? I have the same fault as you...? Try, you said. What's my fault. Let me fix it...!"

Dira shook his head weakly, "You're not wrong about Lif,"

"Why then...??" alif was almost frustrated.

"I. want to be fooled,"

"Keep it!??" jakak Alif fast.

"I have no other choice, Lif. I don't want to be a bad boy. Moreover, Papa had a heart attack. I don't want anything to happen with Papa,"

Alif melengos's.

"I'm sorry, Lif.." Dira's tears began to spread.

Alif let out a rough breath, then he slowly grasped Dira's hands tightly. "You love me, don't you...? You love me, right.. same me...?"

"Yes, I love you and love you. But I also don't want to dispute the wishes of Papa and Mama..."

Alif took another breath, trying to control himself which began to fall apart, "We eloped!"

Both of Dira's eyes rounded violently, quickly pulled his hand, "That's impossible! Could be Papa's heart disease recurrent. If anything happens to Papa, I can't forgive myself..."

Alif shuffled his hair in frustration. "But I love you so much...!"

Dira began to sob softly, "I'm sorry, Lif.." he said. Then he rushed up from his seat, "Sory, I can't stay for long." continued Dira as she passed from before Alif quickly.

"Diraaa...! Waitw...! Don't stay with me...! I really love you...!!" alif shouted loudly, like a frustrated person. Unheeded were the views of the other cafe visitors, who stared at him in wonder.
