Prison Wound
Part eight's
Raditya stopped his footsteps right in front of the door in the room where Riena had been placed. His hand hesitantly wanted to open the door leaf in front of him. Considering the possibility that occurs if he forced himself to accompany his wife. Raditya was worried, Riena would instead be sad or hysterical like the reaction shown earlier.
"Pak Raditya should rest first. We will supervise and maintain the condition of your wife. If there's any progress, we'll inform you immediately." One of the guard nurses approached Raditya. He felt sorry for seeing the man so tired.
"Until when will my wife fall asleep, Sus?" raditya asked shortly after scooping his own face violently.
"We can't be sure, sir. It should be about an hour more if based on the dose of sedative that we give. But it all comes back to the patient's own physical condition. In some cases, there is a faster or longer wake-up," explained the nurse, so patient.
"Alright, Sus. I took my wife. If there's anything, let me know immediately." Raditya then left the place. He continued walking down the deserted corridor heading towards the exit. So busy and noisy Raditya's mind at this time, that he did not realize the figure of the man who had been stalking Riena's room, was now following his steps.
Raditya continued on foot, his destination was a hotel not far from the hospital where Riena was located. That he did to facilitate and speed up his response if at any time get news from the hospital.
"It's just the beginning, Dit. Let's see how far you'll hold on to this loyalty and circumstance" muttered the figure who followed Raditya earlier in a very soft voice accompanied by a sly grin.

At midnight after two hours, Riena's fingers moved slowly. His eyes were still too heavy to open. A groan slowly sounded out from his lips. It was not the word "sick" but rather the word "please" that caught on in Ratih's ears who was deliberately accompanying Riena tonight.
"Rie, try to open your eyes, Rie," whispered Ratih right next to Riena's earlobe.
"Please ...." Again, that one word came out of Riena's lips. So weak. But Ratih still clearly heard it because the position of the two is very close.
"Wake, Rie. Fight whoever is hurting you right now. Comeon, wakeup! Open your eyes. You can! Don't lose to the fear you create from your own mind." Ratih whispered a series of encouraging sentences back to Riena. His voice vibrates. Apparently, Ratih was too deeply involved in his emotions this time around. It shouldn't be ethically work, but she's still an ordinary woman. Not without reason why it could be.
God's fate is unpredictable. Riena who was in front of him now, was none other than a friend who was always there for him when he used to be in a slumped state. So long do not meet, does not make Ratih forget. Riena's beautiful paras is so typical. Even time cannot fade that beauty.
He did not expect, Curiosity turned out to bring its own blessings of kindness to Ratih. After talking to Raditya, he was so curious about the lucky female figure who had a husband like Raditya. Ratih decided to look into the room that was known from the forensic doctor before. And indeed he felt that the hand of God was at work, meeting him with someone who was always in his prayer because of goodness that could not be forgotten throughout his life.
"Please, don't touch me." The words that Riena spoke began to grow longer. His memories and thoughts are still completely dominated by the terrible events that have happened to him.
"Rie, please, open your eyes. Opponent dong, Rie. You are great, you are strong. Who he is can make you this weak. No one can weaken you, right?" Ratih rubbed Riena's hair while continuing to whisper.
Slowly, Riena's eyes opened. However, his gaze was so empty. His eyes focused upward. Not to the left or to the right. In such a long time. "Am I in hell?" tanyakanya. "What is this hell? Where's the angel who's gonna question me?"
"It's not hell, Rie. It's not in heaven either. You're still in the world. The world you said you needed a fight and a little lie to live it."
Riena blinked her eyes a few times. Gradually his mind seemed to string together the events that a moment ago experienced. The woman raised her right hand slowly which was now wrapped in a bandage right on her wrist. Yes, Riena remembered injuring that hand in order to bring her own death.
"Why don't I just die?" riena asked as she looked around the room. He realized that he was now in the hospital. A moment later, his gaze fell on the figure of Ratih. His hands reflexively wanted to pull the blanket to cover his body, but the infusion needle limited his movements. Riena tried to distance herself from Ratih.
"Rie, it's me. Look carefully." Train said it very gently. She did not even shift her body in the slightest despite knowing very well, with such a close distance, clearly making Riena feel threatened and uncomfortable. "Slow your breath, Rie. Look carefully at my face. Try remembering. Hope you don't forget. Because my face is a lot like," Ratih tried to melt the atmosphere. The mood was deliberately changed dramatically.
Riena's forehead frowned until the end of her eyebrows fused together. Given when normal conditions are certainly an easy thing. But for now, it's obviously hard to do.
"Ah, stop. It's okay if you forget. Later slowly I will make you remember my behavior. Now you drink first."
Ratih took a standing position and deftly made the position of the top of the gurney that Riena was sleeping on slightly up. Riena is now half seated.
"I'm not thirsty" Riena refused as she pushed open a bottle of mineral water and was given a straw by Ratih.
"You're still breathing, Rie. Your efforts failed yesterday. So keep drinking even if not thirsty and keep eating even though not hungry. God still loves you, Rie. Don't waste. If you want to die, make sure you have enough good." The words that Ratih had spoken just now did not represent his profession at all. What he is doing right now is his role as a friend.
Riena finally received the mineral water and drank almost half of it. Although she could not yet remember who the woman in front of her was, but Riena had no desire to refuse her presence. All Riena did after that was just pull the blanket up to the neck.
Patty smiled seeing that. Although his heart was actually very sad. What Riena did confirmed how much the woman was still ashamed and inferior to her condition.
"How's body? Is there something you complain about? Does anything hurt? I'll get a doctor, okay?"
Hearing Ratih's question, Riena immediately shook her head strongly. "No! I'm doing fine. No one touches me! I'm going home!"
Riena tried to forcefully remove the infusion needle stuck on the back of her hand with a quick and forceful motion. The look on his face really showed fear.
"No, Rie. Nay! No need to call a doctor or anyone. It's all right. I think you're okay. I'll help you get home, okay?"
