On Bed Om Rudy

A truth

Myla opened her eyes slowly, the faint scent of medicine and alcohol smelled along with the sight of white walls and dark blue curtains. His head was dizzy as if he had gone up on a merry-go-round at high speed. An infusion needle was attached to the back of his right arm, his heartburn felt pain that punched him up to his back. Myla would definitely fall unconscious like that if she had a severe shock that made her stomach acid suddenly recur.

“You're up, son?” aunt Katrin asked worriedly, her mother had changed clothes, it meant that she was completely unconscious for a long time. Myla fell silent and spread her gaze looking for the figure of Om Rudy.

“Mana Papa, Ma?” reply Myla with her somewhat hoarse voice.

“Papa went home for a while to shower, earlier Mama and Papa changed take care of you.” Aunt Katrin was about to take Myla's hand but the girl refused subtly by pretending to move her hand.

“What has happened between Mama and Papa? Do not lie to Myla because Myla is an adult,” Myla said firmly. Pain in his heart feathers back stabbing with the restraint of emotions that almost overflowed.

“Papa cheated with Liany because Mama first cheated with leaning, so?” continued Myla again with tears that melted slowly.

“Mama is not what you think and about Papa .. Even though Mama is disappointed but Papa is just self-absorbed, she will not leave us just like that.” Aunt Katrin looked at her daughter with a sad face, not until when this secret was held firmly.

“Why with Liany? Why that woman, Ma? Liany already Myla thinks like Myla's own sister!” exclaimed Myla who was still holding back so that her cries did not explode.

“Liany is innocent, Mama has spoken to him, his reason for moving quickly because he wants to avoid Papa,” replied Aunt Myla as calmly as possible.

“Myla don't believe it! Myla wants to meet Liany in person, Myla has to talk to that ungrateful woman!” exclaim Myla with growl. With the remnants of his strength he wanted to get up and get out of bed.

“No Honey, don't do this.. don't get up first, you're still sick, son!” prevent Aunt Katrin from seeing Myla leave her bed. Myla had her shoulder restrained but the girl rebelled, with all her might, Aunt Katrin hugged and calmed her daughter.

“Sayang... calm down first, we talk about this well, calm Myla, calm ...” refer Aunt Katrin. Finally the girl's cry broke out as well, Myla was disappointed and angry at her papa. During his life the figure of Om Rudy was a perfect man in the eyes of Myla, his father was never rude, angry never raised his voice, his father looked so loving his mother even adored the woman who had given birth to him. It is unexpected for Myla if her father turns out to have a fragile side and is able to double the heart of her mother.

“Papa jamaaat ..!” Myla was stunned in her tears, it was hard to accept the fact that the superhero she adored turned out to be just an ordinary human who could make mistakes.

“Patience, dear... everything will be fine, everything will be fine,” whispered Aunt Katrin still hugged Myla tightly.

“Everything will not be the same again, Maaa.. Papa has changed, Papa jaahaaat!” exclaimed Myla with her cries. The girl was really hurt. Aunt Katrin held it deeper, her tears had fallen on each other. Myla would definitely get hurt if her husband accused her of cheating in front of Myla.

Liany noticed Satria and Rangga who were playing together, the boy had started to learn to talk and most surprisingly Liany was precisely the word ‘Papa’ which first came out of Rangga's tiny lips. Liany until he was anxious because of the name, Satria was very happy to hear Rangga calling him papa.

“pappaah .. Paaappaah,” chattering Rangga while patting Satria's cheek.

“Iyaaa Rangga, Papa's handsome son, Papa Darling's son,” Satria landed her kiss on Rangga's cheek which made the boy laugh as Satria's rather rough chin touched his cheek and neck.

Liany smiled, then her gaze was shifted on the golden ring on her finger, soon Satria will officially become Rangga's father. He never expected that his heart would be anchored to the man who had hit him, slapping Satria's cheek until the man also took Liany who was sitting on the highway when he was about to give birth to Rangga. His lips gave a smile, the foreign man who first met Rangga, hugged him lovingly even though he looked stiff. Then now Satria has been trained to clean Rangga if the baby urinates or changes disposable diapers.

“Hayooo self-smile..ntar your kesambet!” exclaim Satria while poking Liany's cheek. Inside Satria's sling, Rangga had started to look restless and sleepy.

“Which bottle of Rangga milk? Here let me love her milk, it seems Rangga is sleepy.” Satria shook Rangga who began to fuss with thirst.

“Let me, Sat, you haven't had dinner yet ‘kan?” Liany prepared milk for Rangga, when Liany was about to take Rangga, Satria refused to give it.

“Sini, let me, you eat first mumpung Rangga same me,” said Satria who took a bottle of milk from Liany's hand.

“I last afternoon after eating chicken noodles with Chico so still full, you just eat first, after Rangga sleep I want to go home, there is still the rest of the work.”

Satria painstakingly held onto Rangga's bottle of milk and the baby sucked on it quickly. Rangga fell asleep after the contents of the bottle were gone. For a moment Satria swung Rangga in her carriage with slow and soft movements and the humming of children's songs she mumbled softly. The man waited for Liany to finish eating patiently and took Rangga into his room and placed her slowly in the box.

“Lia, I go home first yes, I have to finish my design tonight because tomorrow I still have to take care of our completeness letters.” Satria said with half a whisper, he did not want his voice to disturb Rangga's sleep. Liany looked at her phone unblinking, her throat suddenly dry looking at Myla's post on her WA story. He was well acquainted with the hand in the photo that was being attached to an infusion needle.

Liany tries to digest Myla's sentence, she tries to send a message and asks if she is being treated in the hospital or why. Blue tick only, read only and no reply.

“Hey, from now on I was talking to myself, you see what the hell until you don't hear me?” Satria takes Liany's phone and sees what makes Liany suddenly like a statue.

“Hmmm ... Myla is sick apparently, what is the status of Myla that made you move to another realm?”

Liany looks up at Satria, another “Nature? Meaning?”

“Iya, cyberspace, until I say you didn't answer. Liany, are you bothered by Myla's status?” ask Satria again.

“Sat, if indeed the status is intended for me, I must straighten it out immediately, I am not an ungrateful animal, I do not bother Om Rudy.”

“Freely explain people who do not want to hear anything, after all soon we will get married, only he does not know.” Satria held onto Liany's shoulder and twisted it.

“Do not take heart, he just misunderstood,” Satria said gently.

“Sat, what would Myla say if she knew we were getting married? I've been accused of being ungrateful, Myla used to like you and then you'd marry me? Could be Myla—“

“Don't listen to anyone, Lia. Either way Myla and I won't be together, it can't happen. I just want to be fated with you and Rangga is also our other child later. So, I don't want to just because Myla and her family made you change your mind. I'm not willing.” Satria stared intently at Liany's eyes, reassuring the woman if the two of them were meant to be together.

“Ta-but Sat, I have to tell this to Myla, I want to give her an explanation,” said Liany who was suddenly overwhelmed with guilt. True he did not seize Om Rudy but Satria, he felt he was in the middle between his cousin and the man who had proposed to him.

“Can you think about yourself once, Lia? Your happiness, your life and what do you deserve? It's too late to back out now, honey, soon you'll be officially a part of my life. Something that I already have is definitely not going to let me off again.”

Liany bowed, Satria had been very close to her life especially Rangga, it was impossible for her to retreat now.

“I don't want Myla to hate me, Sat, she's already like my own little sister, I don't want to hurt her feelings.”

“I know Liany, but know, in this life if I fell in love with Myla and wanted to be with her it would be impossible, a great sin if I married her,”

“You mean?” Liany looked up again looking for the face of the knight.

Satria took a breath and moved away from Liany. It was obvious he was thinking and weighing what he should tell the truth now.

“Satria, answer me, I'm your future wife, right? Can't I know what's inside your head right now?”

The curious Liany approached Satria and pulled the man's arm to look at her.

“What big sins will happen if you are together? Explain to me!” liany.

Satria took a deep breath. Liany's clear eyes that were highlighted on her made her melt as well.

“I and Myla can't be together. There was no love between men and women in general for Myla. I do love him but only a sister to his sister and indeed the reality is that Myla is my sister, I and Myla are a sister,” Satria explained.

Liany's shoulder jerked off a sign she was stricken with overwhelming shock, this was no joke since Satria looked very serious and with a heavy expression she said that.

“Jadi ... so Aunt Katrin .. Aunty Katrin is your birth mother you told me about the other day?!” liany asked with round eyes and a sagging heart out of place.
