Old Man's Bed
#50: The End
After the Doctor examined Ardhan followed a nurse who accompanied him by checking drip after drip infusion in Ardhan's hand.
While Kenzia faithfully stood beside the Doctor and the Doctor also explained that Ardhan had passed his critical period and would be transferred to the hospital room.
Mommy Aira and Papa Argha hugged each other for a moment, then let go of her embrace. A sense of relief in his heart to his daughter, as well as his daughter-in-law and best friend.
"Dn ..." Ardhan moved one hand up, asking Kenzia to approach him.
Kenzia clasped Ardhan's hand and a kiss landed on his forehead and the man enjoyed it while closing his eyes, feeling a water-like stream on his forehead.
"Thank you Dad,"
"Don't go..."
Kenzia nodded, she turned to kiss Ardhan's hand. "I'm not leaving, I'm sorry Zia..."
"Sorry ...." One drop flowed from the corner of Ardhan's eye. He wanted to hug his Zi, but the pain in his stomach was still there.
"Daddy is tired Zi..." Ardhan felt sleepy, slowly closing his eyes.
"Mom, Dad."
"Maybe because of the effects of Zi's medicine." Mommy Aira.
"Don't worry baby, Ardhan must be healthy." Daddy Argha interrupted while stroking Kenzia's head.
Kenzia nodded, stroking Ardhan's forehead and kissing him again, causing Mommy Aira and Daddy Argha to throw smiles at each other.

At night. Ardhan opened his eyes a second time. He circulated his gaze, the stinging smell of medicine and he knew where he was now, he glanced right left not finding anyone beside him.
"Am I dreaming?" Ardhan wondered, but it felt like it was real. "Why do I have to wake up if I'm just dreaming? I want to sink into that dream."

The sound of the door squeaking, Ardhan kept looking straight ahead, he thought one of the nurses came to him.
"Daddy?" Kenzia smiled making Ardhan turn to the origin of the voice.
Kenzia shook her head, "This isn't Dad's dream, this is Zia, Kenzienya Daddy."
"I love you Zi."
Kenzia hugged Ardhan, with her arms around Ardhan's chest. "Kenzia loves Daddy too. Daddy knows, Kenzia's almost crazy listening to Daddy."
"Daddy remember what happened?" Ardhan tried to remember, the one he saw first was Kenzia.
"I saw you Zi."
Kenzia shook her head, "That's not me Dad, but aunt Berlin."
"But why is it similar to you?"
Kenzia told him everything according to Jack's explanation, there was not a single word that he reduced and exceeded.
"Ah, so Berlin did it. Then where is he now? did he hurt you?"
"No Dad, Aunt Berlin is already in jail. His life will be spent in prison."
"I'm sorry, I'm the cause of your injury."
Kenzia stroked Ardhan's slightly coarse jaw, fine hairs beginning to grow. Ardhan's body is no longer what it used to be, now thin and dry.
"Daddy loves me like this?'
"Iya Zi, you're my soul Zi. If there's no you, I don't know what life is like?" Ardhan said, in his life, this is his regret. He had never felt this much pain and regret this deep.
"Here, this is our son."
Ardhan's lips trembled as the hand touched Kenzia's stomach. "Mrs ...." Ardhan sobbed, he even more regretted imagining how his son would be.
"Yes Dad, get well quickly so I can accompany my days of looking after our child."
Both of Ardhan's eyes turned to look at Kenzia's flat stomach. "Darling, this is Daddy Nak. Sorry Daddy disappointed you. Daddy promised to make you and your Mommy happy."
