The frail shoulder trembled trying to dampen the sobbing, but Dito was not blind, he knew Winanti was crying in silence, he also knew the cause.
Naya's sharp gaze as if judging him, Dito was silent because he did not have any authority over the girl beside him, Winanti's improper position also silenced his mouth which would already speak to defend further.
Dito wanted Winanti to realize what he was doing was wrong.
Sometimes Dito looked at Dio who was still asleep in his carseat.
The car stopped on the shoulder of the road making Winanti look at Dito who was still looking straight ahead.
“Why stop Doc?”
“Dito, just call me Dito, Win” said Dito who began to urinate just because of a call.
Winanti looked down in silence.
“Crying” one ambiguous word that is able to make Winanti again straighter staring at the wonder of the man beside her.
“Yes, if you want to cry then cry, but after that already, do not constantly lament sadness, finish what started, fix what is broken” explained Dito, it seemed Winanti had heard that long sentence, she was no stranger to it.
‘Stop! crying time is up’
‘Stop wailing’
‘Solve what started’
‘Fix what broke’
“Win! Are you okay?” Winanti looked at Dito who now had two.
‘You okay?’
‘Na, you okay?’
‘NANA!’
“Aaarrrghh, quiet!” winanti screams as the voice continues to repeat in her ears, while her head does not stop pulsing.
Dito immediately drove his car back, he had to take Winanti back to the hospital.
At first glance looking at Dio who was still a henchman in his sleep after the scream, his heart thumped when Winanti was unconscious.
His hands are busy calling while driving, hopefully Galang is still around the hospital.
“Ya Dit?”
“Lang please help me..” after telling her the complicated situation and Galang agreed to help her Dito refocus with her steering wheel.
When entering the ER one gurney was faithfully waiting, with paramedics and Galang there, Dito accompanied Winanti who was brought in for treatment, Dio was safe with Galang there, he believed in his best friend.
“Patients with a history of retrograde amnesia and lymphoma” Dito told one of the doctors who will treat Winanti.
“Ardito?” his full attention to Winanti had to be paused when someone mentioned his name, his jaw tightened when he knew who was greeting him.
“There are no other doctors?!” ketus Dito, while the same age man before him could only silently peck, a sudden meeting.
“If you don't trust me, you can take action here, I'll backup you” again Rian tries to be calm, their meeting after so long makes both of them great awkward.
Dito sighed, he shouldn't be selfish, right? Winanti needs handling as quickly as possible, aware of his mistake Dito allowed Rian to take over the care of Winanti, even though they work together, but taking someone's work for personal reasons is not ethical.
Rian took action immediately.
Dito sat in dismay, once again he felt as just an unlucky bearer to someone who meant something to him.
‘Mas Pras, happy birthday yes!’ Dito smiled happily as the girl moved forward timidly towards him.
‘This, there is a small gift for Mas who is still a child’ he said again half mocking, instead of angry Dito instead slowly scramble the top of the girl's head.
17 Year anniversary gift.
Beautiful times with the candles.
“Relax Ar, your Cannabis is fine, just a little shocked due to the sudden pressure, does she slowly remember you?” asked Rian who acted as if he was familiar with it, if he did not remember this Dito hand hospital would have been itching to punch the man in front of him.
How dare he call Winanti like that, Cannabis sativa, the Latin name of marijuana, as opium is Winanti for him.
“Dit, Dio looking for you” said Galang with watery eyes in his sling, his best friend is not aware of someone else in front of him.
“Galang?!” his head turned slowly, suddenly Galang's face sharpened.
“Eh there are traitors here, can still live quietly?” asked Galang sarcas while giving Dio to his best friend.
Rian laughed, even though he didn't like the call. His gaze turned to the small man who was grabbing Dito's coffee photos slowly staring at him.
“Dia?” the question hangs while trying to grab Dio who immediately Dito keeps out of his reach.
Rian sighed softly, his mistake was unforgivable and it never seemed like he would get an apology from this good friend of his.
“He's Sarah's son too right Ar?”
“Not your business!”
“But if it is true then it will be my business Dit!” it was not Rian who replied, a woman with teary eyes tried to get close, she missed her flesh and blood, but Dito always tried to keep them away.
His intention to invite Rian to lunch together makes him meet again with his past, as well as the child he had longed for.
The beautiful woman's steps slowly approached, staring at her baby with a burning longing.
His son is grown, Dito takes good care of him.
“You don't deserve it anymore, remember?! Custody fell on me” said Dito fiercely and again gave Dio to Galang and asked him to stay away, he felt he had to warn these two disgusting humans not to bother him anymore.
Sarah wept, she was again kept away from her baby.
No longer wanting to muscle out with her ex-husband, Sarah knelt before Dito, leaving the two men beside her briefly shocked.
“Please Dit, I just want to see my son, I want to hug him, I beg your forgiveness, do not forgive me, I am not a good wife, but nevertheless I am a mother, I am a mother, wasn't your punishment enough all this time? My heart hurts Dit, I am tormented, your revenge is avenged, please let me meet my son” Sarah said with a sob.
Dito's heart wasn't that hard, but given what both did to Dito and his son Dio, this was nothing.
Rian who saw his wife begging her ex-husband and friend who he had betrayed could not do anything, they were wrong, natural if Dito insisted not to forgive both.
“Mother? You're a mother? If you forget, I once begged you, for the sake of my son I would be willing to beg you to stay with us even though you had an affair behind my back, you remember what you said back then?” dito recaptured his old wounds.
“You prefer this man over us, even when Dio is intolerant of formula milk, you refuse to breastfeed him, is that what you call a mother?!” Dito growled angrily considering how difficult it was to find a suitable milk mother with her child, while the woman who called herself a mother instead chose to go with her affair which was Dito's own friend.
Sarah closed her eyes withstanding the pain, she knew it was too much, but everything she did had a reason, Dito could not always blame her.
“You're acting like you're the only one hurt here Dit!” sarah's anger peaked, all this time she had tried to relent and humble only to make this man of her past aware of the reason she did it all.
But Dito will only be a selfish Dito!
