Scratches of Past Wounds

Doni's Arrival

The light sat beside the bed of Binar. While Blue fell asleep on the sofa bed that was available in the room. VIP room with facilities such as Deluxe room four-star hotel. It is not the Light that chooses but this is all at the initiative of Fakhrul.

The light did not ask but also did not refuse because when taking care of the administration Fakhrul was the one who offered. It's up to... !! The light does not light up. His mind was too busy with the condition of Binar. There's nothing else.

After a while, the door opened slowly from the outside. Rania appeared with a bag of food pouches in her hand. Three servings of Bento from a famous restaurant. There are several types of fruit and also several bottles of mineral water.

Rania was about to pick up her children from school and promised to come back after driving them home. And now here comes Rania. Bring dinner supplies because the sun has orange color in the western horizon. The night signs are coming soon.

Rania's arrival suddenly shifted the view of Light from Binar towards the door. The friend's warm smile rubbed on him. Especially seeing something in Rania's hands. Make the Light stomach ask to be filled immediately.

From this afternoon at the cafe they only ate Dessert and a glass of iced coffee. His intention was to have lunch at home but it was canceled due to this unexpected incident. As a result, the stomachs of both women can be sure to be empty at this time.

" Thank God you bring food, I'm hungry but don't want to leave Binar. Afraid she was conscious and shocked when she didn't see me. " Say the Light as you rise up and step towards Rania. Welcoming the tote bag containing food from Rania's hands.

" I know, because I'm hungry too . That's why I brought this . " Reply to Rania . They were sitting on the sofa next to Blue. Without waiting any longer the two friends began executing the appetizing Bento.

" Good... ! " Say Light in between her mouthfuls.

" Because it's free. " Rania chuckled in jest.

Both of them smiled while bribing their food.

" There's your ex in front. " Celutuk Rania suddenly made the Light look up at her. Make sure his ears don't hear wrong.

" Yes, he asked to be informed that Binar was awake. " Next Rania.

" Hmm.let's just. As long as he doesn't show up. To be honest, I still feel uncomfortable being around him, looking at his face, or talking. " The Light spoke her feelings.

" But I can't throw him out either, because he's still Binar's father . Maybe it was time he saw the results of his actions. " Advanced Light.

" But I saw regret on his face. And look sincere... " It wasn't just Rania who saw that Light either.

" Yes, I saw it too. But the rice is already porridge. His regrets are no longer useful. Even I repaired the debris he left behind until now never finished. Suffocate... " The face of Light returned grim and his eyes were again glued to the tiny figure that still had not opened his eyes.

Rania no longer said the word, not wanting to make the Light even more sad. Rania chose to continue eating. So did Light, back bribing his food until it was gone.

" I went back magrib, right? You alone is okay ? . " Said Rania Later.

" Well, it's okay, I'm used to it. Thank you, Nia . Good thing there's you if you don't know.... I must be confused myself. " Sincere Light.

" That's what friends are for. Just relax ! " Reply Rania.

*****

" Hello, Brother...

"..... "

" VIP 3 fourth floor. "

"..... "

" Ok, I'll wait. "

Rania closed the call from her phone. Rania's conversation just now with someone caught the attention of Light.

" You picked up your husband ? " Task the Light.

" No, Brother Doni. Mas Adnan left for Bogor after taking me here earlier. " Answer Rania.

" Why not drive yourself ? "

" Where can I drive a night alone with Mas Adnan. Never hit people, because my eyes are a little myopic at night. " Rania explained.

" Oo. is not permitted. "

" Enter Brother.sorry . After Mas Adnan there was a meeting in Bogor. " Greet Rania.

" It's okay once in a while. Often very ogah. " Answer Doni casually, while stepping in with a gaze that cannot be separated from the Light that pura busy fixing the blanket Binar.

" Uuh. " Sulang Rania's. Then they stepped closer to Binar's bed.

" How is his condition ? " Tanya Doni was stale breaking the awkward atmosphere created.

" Not woken up from that. The doctor said he was deliberately given medicine so he could get enough rest. " Reply Light is a little stiff.

Doni just mangut mangut hear the explanation of Light. The silence was re-created. The three just stared at the sleeping Binar.

" Mother... ! " The attention of the three moved towards the sofa bed. Blue just woke up from her sleep. Perhaps his body was tired and shock made him need a longer rest than usual.

" Blue is awake. Come... wash your face and his hands just finished it eat, yes !? " The light approaches Blue then helps her stand up and pushes Blue gently towards the bathroom.

While waiting for Blue, Light tidied up the used blanket Blue used and prepared Bento for dinner.

Soon Blue came back with a fresher face.

" Come greetings, Aunt and Om first. Tawari all eat. " Blue went straight to Rania and endured it with reverence and the same thing was done to Doni.

" Aunty and Om eat the same Blue, yuk ! " Take Blue offer.

" Aunty just now, honey. " Answer Rania.

" Om her ? " Task Blue towards Doni.

" You are... Om not hungry yet. " Say Doni with a slight smile.

Blue went back to the couch for dinner. Rania and Doni follow Blue from behind. Blue sits between Light and Rania while Doni sits on a single sofa.

" I'm sorry, the food's staying. If you want I can order it in the cafeteria. " Speak the Light awkwardly on Doni.

" No, I'm not hungry either. Relax . " Answer Doni.

The three adults engaged in light conversation while waiting for Blue to finish eating. Not long after that Blue had finished his meal.

" Nia, can you get me a coffee. As usual. " Said Doni arrived.

Rania who felt strange looking at Doni confirmed her hearing. After getting a code from Doni's gaze finally Nia left without protest and did not forget to invite Blue. Of course the light felt uncomfortable. But Light was helpless when Blue accepted Rania's invitation with joy.

As a result, only Light and Doni remain in silence. The light shifted the awkwardness by peeling off some of the green apples that Rania had brought earlier. While Doni watched every move of the Light.

" How... ? " Doni's voice drew the Light's gaze towards him .

" What... ? " Tanya Light did not understand.

" Continue from our introduction. Of course you understand what I mean, don't you ? We are old enough to understand the purpose of our meeting the other day. I just want to know what your answer is. Or to make it easier to understand .. what do you want ? " Obviously Doni .

" I was afraid to answer too quickly, because to be honest I was still in the dilemma stage. " Reply to the Light as it is. " What about you ? " Task the Light back while looking at Doni.

" I'm the same as you, too much consideration. " Doni leaned back and folded his hands in front of his chest. Back he was staring at the Light within like looking for something there.

Spontaneous Light lowered his head and continued his work of cutting fruit. And a few seconds passed by Doni returned to his voice.

" Can't we just get married without consideration ? " The light again raised his face flabbergasted by what he had just heard.

" that is....
