Prison Wound

Prison Wound
The five part



The rain slowly turned increasingly heavy. Ratih who could not let Reno torture himself by staying silent under the rain, immediately pulled the man's hand by force.


"You think with you keeping quiet here, Rino will wake up again? If you think like that, please continue! If I could fantasize and think as foolishly as you, I wish they would come back to life. Let them testify how useless it is to harbor hatred," cried Ratih as he scooped his face several times hit by rainwater.


Reno brushed off the hand of Ratih who was trying to touch him violently. Highlight his eyes sharply staring at the figure of a woman who is religiously and also the state is actually still legitimate to be his wife.


"Nobody told or forced you to care about me. Even if I don't get Riena, it doesn't mean I want to come back to you. I've pretended to love you."


The thunderous roar of lightning in between the torrent of rain did not manage to disguise Reno's scream just now. Even those words to Ratih were more jarring than the sounds of nature around him. Patience, humility and sincerity that from yesterday he prepared, shed already. Follow the flow of rainwater currents.


"A relationship, moreover the sacred bond of marriage, should be maintained and fought for by both parties. If I'm the only one fighting, it's not just hard, but it's obviously unfair. Even if we take an oath in the name of God, I don't think God is sleeping either. I know why I finally gave up. Hope you can be better. Whatever path you take, throw hatred away from your heart. If you're not with me, at least love yourself." Ratih immediately turned around and ran away from Reno after saying that.


While Reno instead laughed loosely while challenging the sky. To shout insults at the Creator who never felt fair to him and his family.


No less messy with Reno's condition, Reyhan was found to have made a mess back in the bathroom. The tiny glass shards used to injure his own neck were not very sharp. Instead of making him die instantly, it only managed to cause scratches that were not too deep. Until the blood is shed not much. Only leaving an incredible pain that made Reyhan groan in pain.


"You're new, you've dared to do something. Just add work. You think that dead angel of heaven will welcome you? Don't dream! Not even the angel of death will take your life," said the prison warden who happened to be on a vigil schedule while sending Reyhan to the treatment room.


A hundred and eighty degrees different state occurred in the room of the doctor who examined the condition of Raditya and Riena, they were in the room for so long. Retno and Rosyani ask a lot about Riena's pregnancy. Of course, things that would be able to add and foster Riena's confidence. Especially about couvade syndrome or sympathetic pregnancy experienced by Raditya. Until the atmosphere that had begun to melt again turned a little tense when when about to say goodbye, Raditya even ventured to ask the thing that stuck in his heart to the doctor.


"Sorry, Doc, is my son okay? I was afraid, because after the calamity experienced by my wife, the doctor who handled her had given anti-pregnancy injections. Can it affect the condition of the fetus? And why didn't they find out that my wife was pregnant?"


The question posed by Raditya certainly made Retno and Rosyani compact round his eyeballs wide. They have been struggling to find a question that can awaken the soul of Riena's motherhood, even Raditya himself who asked about something that connects Riena with her dark story back.


Retno and Rosyani agree with the doctor's explanation. What is said is true. Not all efforts to abort the womb or prevention of pregnancy can succeed according to or as good as human will.


"So, my question has one unanswered. Why didn't they know my wife was pregnant?" Raditya who was not satisfied with the doctor's answer, repeated his question again.


While Riena chose not to show any expression. He's so calm. Although his heart and mind were in a row digesting the reality he had just known. Happiness, sadness and guilt begin to clash out of control.


"It could be, Dit. Usually because we are more focused on healing or knowing post-occurrence injuries. So it's unthinkable to have a blood check test for pregnancy. Or it could be because when the examination occurred, Riena's pregnancy was still faint. Because there are several cases of pregnancy that can only be detected after the age of pregnancy bimonthly and above. It happens because of several factors. Never mind, Dit. We will discuss it again sometime, the important thing is to enjoy your wife's pregnancy. Don't complain if you're nauseous or vomiting, it's your own thing." The doctor patted Raditya on the shoulder while smiling warmly and glancing at Rosyani.


Finally, they left the room. Meeting Rama and Rinto who had been since then was actually very impatient. The two men immediately welcomed the four people who were waiting for his appearance.


"Later at home. Let's go home first." Rosyani immediately gave an answer before her husband even asked. He immediately grabbed onto Rinto's arm with a big smile.


Riena and Raditya stepped back. The two looked at each other several times and clashed. But not a word was said. They are equally awkward where to start. Coupled with the existence of parents, it certainly makes Riena and Raditya more and less free.


Arriving at home. The parents ask Raditya and Riena to take a break. Although Raditya's condition seems to have been better, but several times the man still withholds vomiting as soon as he smells certain foods along the road they pass.


"Well, I want to go back to Jakarta. I want to settle the trial. After that, I want to close the same book on that case. Bismillah, I want to focus on my pregnancy."


Raditya could no longer contain his happiness. He hugged Riena again and kissed her on the forehead and cheeks, saying a word of thanks. She was unconscious, Riena was sweating a little against the anxiety of getting a slightly brutal treatment from her. The rape incident that he had experienced, made Riena's body sensitive and selective to touch.


"Ay, no!" reject Riena while pushing Raditya chest that wants to rub his lips.
