Bandung, Indonesia
14.00 WIB.
With an anxious look Milan sat leaning back while repeatedly glancing towards the wall clock, the ICU room. The anxiety he felt, made him forget if there was a circular watch.
Shortly afterwards the door knocks berythme, reaching the ears of the listener.
"Lake in!" milan's orders, he still looks flat.
Edo and Tania appeared together from behind the door. Trying to slow down so as not to disturb the sick. Milan looks tired.
Milan closed his eyes while leaning against the wall, and sat down on a dark brown sofa in the corner of the room when the sound of slightly noisy footsteps could be heard approaching.
"Milan, I'm hungry! Not having lunch, you have a solution?" the typical spoiled voice managed to make Milan open his eyelids and turn his head.
Milan was surprised, seeing Edo standing parallel to his wife as if waiting for instructions.
Milan sighed lightly. "Go there! Find food, just pack it for me!"
That heavy voice should have been an order to ease Tania's hunger. But somehow, since then it just makes it like being stabbed by a dagger. His heart turned sad and made his eyes slightly dewy.
However, Tania is not a whiny girl, she does not want to be considered weak by anyone. That's how Raffa taught her life experiences.
There is no heart as hard as a coral if it deals with the heart. But at least Tania is not the girl she used to be. His life has changed a lot because of the harshness of life.
Edo watched despite being silent. He slowly walked towards the exit away from the couple he believed were now falling for each other. It may be disturbing or just not feeling good.
"I'm the only one out! You're just here waiting for Raffa, I'm a little worried about him." Edo hissed with a high voice.
It's okay that he feels a little pain, the most important thing is that the girl he loves feels comfortable and safe.
As if guarding from the heavy rain that fell rapidly, that is how Edo took care of Tania's heart and love. Make sure Tania is comfortable and okay. Now he is getting used, to his own belief, that love must not have. Enough to keep it in your heart.
There was no sound of Milan or even Tania trying to stop her steps. Making him speed up his steps to leave the room.
His steps began to slow down as he walked alone in the hospital corridor. He stopped for a moment, then walked again.
"Milan let me follow you!" tania shouted, successfully making Edo turn his body while linking his eyebrows together.
He was shocked, almost in disbelief. If Milan may feel sorry for him, give a little meeting room even if just say hello to his misses.
"Tania, things are getting complicated. I'm even more tired of guessing you shouldn't come out with me. You'll be fine and safer with my brother." Edo half-screamed as he raised his hand for the girl in front of him to stop his steps.
When Edo gave the suggestion, Tania could only shut up and stare in the shade. Not a word came out from his reflexively clenched rancid lips.
"Edo," call Tania half-run. Only a piece of that name came out as Edo continued to walk.
Edo again stopped his steps, when he heard Tania's scream. The girl half ran over to Edo who never turned around.
"Edo, all this time I've never apologized properly to you! Forgive me," he said, accompanied by a raucous voice and sobbing. While both his hands were coiled around Edo's body, while the chin of the beautiful girl he was resting next to the shoulder of the man he used to love so much.
I want God to freeze time when all the moments with you take place. A moment that will never last forever, for you are no longer mine.
Edo closed his eyes for a moment, his chest warmed up. His heart was pounding again, a pounding that was not even felt for too long and made Edo forget how it felt.
Minutes later, Edo stretched out Tania's two hands that were attached to her body.
"Don't make the person who loves you disappointed, again. Let's hurry! Milan's brother is waiting" Edo asked. Making Tania look up at the tall man.
The handsome man who always looks neat always understands how women want. He immediately pulled out a light blue handkerchief from his shirt pocket. He slowly rubbed the remaining clear hair on Tania's cheek.
"I've been completely letting you go." Edo spoke while rubbing Tania's smooth cheeks.
Instead of stopping to flow, her cries became more and more. Although the cry was not accompanied by a voice, but it could be clearly seen a stroke of Tania's sadness and regret.
Minutes later, the two left the hospital, heading for a roadside restaurant with a fairly close distance. The distance is only two hundred meters from the hospital.
For thirty minutes the two spent eating together while just chatting lightly about everyday life.
Shortly after the ringing of the cell phone from behind the suit Edo wore made Tania frown.
"Who? New girl huh? I know yes, later," his cerocos is endlessly busy investigating.
Edo knitted his eyebrows together. "Sister Milan."
"Edo, don't take too long. No need to buy food for me! Raffa's awake, quick!" screams from across the phone sounded shrill then cut off unilaterally.
Edo immediately got up to the cashier. He no longer even cared if Tania was eating or even finished. Her indifference made Tania guess.
Why does he look worried? Whose phone call was that? Could it be that I am in danger here?
Netra Tania was watching the surroundings. Then speed up his steps towards Edo. He unconsciously wrapped his hand into Edo's arm. Edo was surprised, then glanced at him for a moment.
Without making small talk, Edo immediately grabbed Tania and stepped with wide strides. Tania even half-running trying to compensate. Even so he was also embarrassed to ask, so he preferred to be quiet.
***
Edo immediately entered the room without knocking on the door, while Tania immediately ran over uncontrollably. He was no longer able to resist his longing and sadness for Raffa.
There was no resentment, disappointment or disbelief that Tania had shown to Raffa. Raffa also returned the embrace of the woman who had been considered a sister by him for a long time.
Suddenly, Raffa's eyes rounded as he looked at someone wearing all-black robed clothes. Take the gun out from under his cloak.
And.
Dooor ...!
The sound of gunfire was inevitable, making a body fall down and drenched in blood. Instantly the situation became boisterous with the sound of hysterical cries from other patients and also some nurses.
Everyone left the place around the incident.
