Red Noctah
The Part 51
"Echo Mode?"
Curiosity led the woman to follow in the footsteps of her ex-husband. Husband one night, full of wounds and traumas, even his blood always rippled when he remembered the incident, where the night was seen and let down by two men at one time. That's why you hate the culprit so much.
The woman choked, her net widened when she accidentally discovered Mas Gema entering the room. If you wonder in your heart what business Mas Gema came to the room. The woman covered her mouth with both hands in shock. Or maybe he just took a test. What exactly happened to him, those bad thoughts instantly branched towards him.
The man entered the main door of the special room, a row of green, red, and yellow orange chairs on the wooden floor welcoming his arrival. Breezy cool air conditioning and some paintings on the walls momentarily divert, impressing the calm air.
The atmosphere was still early in the morning, the space was still quiet. One of the cable TV channels lights up in the waiting area. The show features artists Demi Moore and Miley Cyrus fighting like mother and son. The short hour hand is still nine. Some people also went in there talking cheerfully. They greeted the receptionist. Like the office of a travel agency, the staff looks alert and friendly welcoming those who come. No guests stand clumsy or confused.
Except, the agency waiting room almost never put a weight scale in one corner. If some of the officers dressed as doctors did not flail, there was no sign of a health care facility. A small counter in the back corner of the room doubles the drug storage. Some boxes are scattered on the floor. An officer was taking stock of the drugs.
In a similar room of this agency office, guests came with different purposes.
Some of them were people who had just first come to the room like him. Where health services to undergo HIV testing and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) at Jakarta Hospital. Others may be family members or close relatives of patients who regularly come to take antiretroviral drugs to treat HIV infection.
Some of it is an inseparable part of that space. People with HIV and AIDS (ODHA). Echoes visit the room to meet with doctors and nurses who are like family to him. That morning he stopped by before he started. Everyday the man is still seen helping in the office although not as active as before, even the leader has been diverted to his sister Bisma.
“Now the purpose of my life is to be independent. I can live a healthy and better life. Gratitude can help others. If for others I am not ready.” It's the echo sound.
“Moreover” Echo is to confront those around him if they know he is HIV positive with all his problems. Until now, no one knows the condition of Echoes, only his sister knows. Even at first both parents did not know, but now they finally know because of the condition of the echo at that time. Requires treatment in the hospital.
"Sorry, Mother? Mama want a test? Or take a drug?" Someone who was there asked to look at the woman who seemed to be confused.
"I'm sorry, I went in wrong" the woman replied. His chest still felt tight and could not believe what he saw.
"When!" the man said his name. The two were flabbergasted, never expecting to meet at that place, Echoes had just come out of the consul's room. Their eyes met each other, before finally choosing to sit together with great fear and curiosity.
"Today the Lord revealed the truth to you, here I am, the breng*sek man who three years ago wished to be with you. I'm sorry, Bila," please sound sad.
The woman was shocked to hear the story. A sense of tightness immediately enveloped his chest.
"Please, don't hate Bhishma, I'm the one who doesn't know myself, he did it because he didn't want you to be harmed, for my foolish actions who still wanted to ask for my rights that night. I should have understood that. God gave me punishment for what I did behind your back."
The former echo of living with a like-minded style. Distract from religion and morals. One of them changed partners. It's a privacy for personal, but when knowing the woman of his dreams today is Nabila, a beautiful girl who has long desired Bhishma in college, clearly disturbed instinct.
Wishing the woman happiness and sister Gema could end her adventure. Until the eve of his marriage, the results of the test were snorted by Bisma, but the brother still wanted to fuck the woman who had just legitimately become his wife who had been deceived by the betrayal behind him, the man's soul was torn apart You were an instinct to do something so that Gema really away even divorced him.
That night really happened, Echoes so angry, even Nabila hated it. But it's okay, as long as the woman remains healthy and apart from the snare of her husband brengs*knya. Bhishma hoped that what she was pouring on the girl's womb would lead to a new life. All that became real, the man was also hurt but he was happy when he found out that if she was pregnant, of course the man would be responsible for marrying her. With hope, can give affection, and love. Change the wound of the divorce.
Expectations are not in accordance with reality, in fact Nabila is so traumatized and hates it. The only thing that torments the man the most is when he cannot be honest with reality. At the risk of being hated for life, or of being open-minded but life-threatening echo of the woman.
***
Mr. Hans and Ms. Mita were shocked by what happened to her family. Bhishma also chose silence, contemplating himself with a blanket of sins of forgiveness. Successfully marrying the woman to atone for her sin at once, has not been able to make her heart calm. When the abuse and abuse came from the mouth of the woman he loved so much, the man's heart ached, but he accepted it because he was wrong.
Apparently the suffering was not over, the peak of his patience was tested when the woman decided to leave. Bhishma is like a frustrated person accepting it. Every night the prayer never broke, hoping his wife could come back and forgive him.
Sad, sick, when only the news of Razik's birth that he caught without being able to attend and complain. Only through his cute pictures, the man was slightly comforted, the punishment was too heavy, the longing that was slipping on the chest could only be spilled on the prayer mat. Wishing his wife back, at least he could hug the child even though their path was no longer the same.
The echoes themselves are now quite conscious, the man is even trying to live a better life. By not wanting to disturb his sister's life and hoping they can reunite.

“I want a place where anyone can be accepted, listened to, and no longer feel alone. They don't have to worry about coming, don't have to be afraid of taking the test, and don't need to feel hopeless or alone when the HIV test result is positive,” said Dr. Winardi, an internal medicine specialist who helps in that room.
Echoes try to follow the treatment according to his sister's advice by continuing to lead a healthy life. The man wants to try to be good at his age. Even if possible, want to apologize to Nabila when there is time to meet. However, shame still dominated his inner self. But God is so good that he gives us that opportunity now.
HIV and AIDS have changed the lives of the Echoes. It also encourages people to respect limitations. When limitations are accepted as a process, the appreciation of life and relationships with others becomes more real and meaningful. By continuing to educate fellow people who want to share. God punished him in a different way.
Echoes hope to continue to be a source of inspiration for many. That he deserves to be good and grateful his life can be useful to others.
Starting small, maybe eventually rolling into something big. Like a snowball. Not because of their strength but because many people, especially patients and families, donor partners, health workers, and service communities, take part in various aspects of combating HIV and AIDS problems. One more thing, family support is always there. They never leave when they are at the lowest point. Echoes are grateful to have a family that is so considerate and accepting of him.
When busy shrinking his tears, sore, but he was quite relieved by the curiosity that had dominated his heart.
"Yourself, why are you in the hospital?" ask the man.
