Painful Love (Painful Love)

A Story in the Past

Twenty-nine years ago, in a country located at the southern end of the Malacca Peninsula, a young woman had just arrived at a luxurious mansion. Rubbing the stomach very gently as if afraid to hurt the fetus in the womb. Yes, at that time a beautiful white woman like porcelain was pregnant with a four-week-old fetus.

"Honey, Mama is so happy that you finally came to this world to complete our happiness. Mama did not expect if God immediately put you into your stomach after waiting for three months," said Annchi, the woman's eyeballs radiate happiness because after so long God finally granted all his prayers.

The shoulder-length haired woman immediately accelerated her pace when she saw the door of the two-story house open wide. In front of the entrance there is a four-wheeled vehicle unit that is believed to belong to his two in-laws.

"I'm sure, Papa and Mama must be happy after hearing this news. Didn't they always urge me and Fengying to have a baby for three months!" annchi lirih.

Meanwhile, Fengying's parents continue to urge the child to marry Renata, the angel-hearted girl who is considered more worthy of being part of their family. "Mama doesn't want to know, you should immediately divorce Annchi and marry Renata. Your wife does not deserve to be with you especially she has not yet given offspring to our family. Mama is embarrassed, every time they gather their families always ask the same thing. So, you have reason to divorce that woman."

"But, Ma, I don't love Renata. The woman I love is Annchi, not the others" Fengying paused on her stance.

Fengying's birth mother kicked the table until a loud voice echoed through the room. "Fengying, don't argue Mama's words! If you do not want all the luxury facilities and companies that you lead, Mama retracts," threatened the woman with sharp eyes.

"Ma, I ...."

Not yet finished Fengying spoke, the melodious voice of a woman interrupting the debate between the two.

"I'm home!" annchi with a face of sumringah.

Suddenly, everyone in the room immediately turned to the source of the voice. Smirk's smile was painted on Annchi's in-laws face. "It's good because it's coming. Sit down, there's something Fengying wants to tell you!"

Annchi looked confused. The two eyebrows are linked to each other. The woman's eyes stared at the in-laws and her husband in turn. However, he still obeyed the request of his mother-in-law.

"What's the matter, why is the atmosphere here so tense?" ask Annchi curiously. The woman's palms squeezed into each other. For some reason, he felt like there would be a big storm ahead of him. However, he tried to get those negative thoughts out of his mind.

"Ehm .. actually, a-I--"

"Fengying, say it quickly!" annchi's in-laws said.

Fengying stared softly at the figure of the woman he loved. Before saying, he first took a deep breath to gather courage in the chest. "Annchi, from this moment on I'm cutting you off!" said the man with his eyelids closed. Both hands are clenched to the right and left. There is a pain in the heart when you say that sentence.

To be honest, Fengying heavily let go of Annchi, her first love and first lover. However, he had no choice but to divorce the woman across the street. He does not want to live poor without support and all kinds of luxury facilities from both parents.

Returning to the present, Yudhishthira appears to be in a plane flying above the sky. The man sat by the window, looking at the white of the clouds and the blue of the sky from within the great bird made of iron.

It only takes about an hour, finally the plane landed perfectly at Yogyakarta International Airport. Yudhistira rushed down after the plane had completely stopped and the seatbelt light had been extinguished. Two female flight attendants were standing to the left right in front of the plane door.

"Thank you for your trust in our airline. See you next time" said one of them. A smile on the corner of the lips.

Yudhistira just nodded slowly in response. It is not that he does not want to return their words just that he is currently in a state of anxiety and wants to immediately meet Latifah, in the hospital.

"Sus, the room in Ms. Latifah's name, where is it?" yudhistira asked one of the officers who worked behind the reception desk.

One of the receptionists began typing the name Yudhistira mentioned. In less than five minutes, the woman in a batik uniform replied, "In the room of Cempaka. The room is on the second floor, out of the elevator turn right."

"Thank you!" Yudhishthira exclaimed and ran straight towards the direction that was pointed out to him.

However, when he saw the elevator door was still moving upwards, Yudhistira decided to turn the direction. He was looking for an emergency staircase that would take him to the second floor. Running fast as if you are in a time hunt. Breathing and lungs seemed to be about to explode, but it did not quell Yudhistira's desire to meet his beloved mother.

When the door of the emergency stairs opened, the man's eyes were immediately fixed on the figure of a beautiful girl who was sitting in the waiting chair. Then, he approached Erina and stood in front of her. "Daddy, how's Mama doing?" his tanya was even barely audible. The heart was like being crushed by an invisible hand when it saw for itself the gray clouds lodged in the face of Erina, his beloved sister.

Instead of answering the older sister's question, Erina's body trembled violently. Both shoulders move down and up accompanied by sobs slashing the heart. Although he did not see the man in front of him, he was sure that the man was Yudhishthira.

"Doctor said, we have no hope anymore, Mas. Cancer cells continue to spread throughout the body. Doing chemotherapy or drugs will not work, stopping the development of cancer cells. We are only asked to resign and wait for when the time comes," Erina replied amid her sobbing. Tears fell on both cheeks.

Yudhistira took a deep breath as he closed his eyes. As a doctor, of course, he could predict this event would happen to Latifah, but he did not expect the development of cancer cells so fast that the hope of recovery was no longer there.

"Mas understands your sadness, Dek. However, this is not the time to reflect on the unfortunate fate that befell Mama. Now all we have to do is to give support to Mama to continue fighting even though all the doctors have raised their hands. Doctor Inspiration and team are just ordinary people, they may say the length of Mama's life in this world is only three months or one year, but we never know the will of God."

"Yes, who knows God gave Mama long life." Yudhistira rubbed the top of Erina's head gently. "Yeah, don't cry anymore. We better get inside, Mama must be worried when she wakes up not to see you're in there."

Without rebutting, Erina obeyed the words of Yudhishthira. He nodded weakly as he followed the older brother behind.
