Surprising Facts

Without a word, Brother Darren guided my arm and we stepped towards the two men in front of him.

My heart is beating fast. There is a sense of anxiety and anxiety that comes suddenly. Daniel, what's wrong? Why was he at the police station, and why was his father's handcuffed?

"Daniel."

Brother Darren first greeted, before I opened my voice. I felt his grip tighten. Either because I was concerned about Daniel's situation, or I was not willing to meet him.

Daniel looked at us and looked at us. A lot of confusion lodged in his net, I can't guess what he's thinking. At a glance he commented a thin smile, then muttered to say the names of the two of us.

"What's wrong?" I asked quietly while glancing at his father—Om Markus.

Daniel did not answer, merely bowed and exhaled a rough breath. While Om Markus, he was taken away to the examination room.

Me and Darren were silent. Until the body of Om Markus disappeared behind the wall, only the clattering of steps caught my hearing.

"Papa was involved .. such as ... Mayra," said Daniel slowly.

I immediately looked at him. He nodded with his hands tightly clenched. Sweat spots drenched his temples as well as his jaws. The face is withered, like no more passion. All these years I've known him, only now to see him so screwed up. Even when I rejected him, he wasn't this bad.

"Drugs?" ask Brother Darren.

"Yes." Yeah." Daniel nodded. "Where Papa started it, it's all beyond my knowledge. Mama was so shocked, that .. her heart relapsed and is now in a coma in the hospital."

Daniel's words made it difficult for me to swallow. So great is the ordeal that is afflicting him at this time. In my unceasing heart I prayed, hoping that he would remain steadfast in the face of all the trials.

"Is this what you meant yesterday?" asked Darren, which made me curious. Whatdoes thatmean?

"Yes." Yeah." Again Daniel nodded.

"Patient, yes. No matter how complicated the problem is, there must be a way out. As Dara's father, I care about you too. Tell me, what can I do for you?" said Brother Darren.

"Not much. Just fill what I asked for yesterday. I really wish you could, Ren." Daniel pats Darren on the shoulder and steps away from us.

"Daniel," called me before he really walked away.

Daniel looked over and smiled faintly. Whether it was just an illusion or it was true, I saw his gaze exactly as it was in the past. Wh why?

"Life has something to govern. No matter what happens in our lives, that's for the best. God knows all about us. No matter what test comes, no matter how low we fall, stay close to God. That way, everything will be easy. Believe me, God is always with us" I told him.

"Thank you, I'll always remember your advice." Daniel grew a smile, but only a glance. Then he continued his steps and went into the same room with his father.

After Daniel disappeared from sight, I turned my head and looked at Brother Darren. But he still looked ahead. His eyes were a little faint, as if something was being thought of.

"Sister," call me.

Brother Darren rubbed his face and looked at me. And then hugged me tightly.

"I love you, baby, love you so much. I'll make you happy. With me, you can't be sad in the least. If something makes you uncomfortable, just say it. Don't hold anything for yourself, promise to always be happy" he said in between hugs.

"Sir, what's wrong with you? Why is it suddenly like this?" I asked while trying to let go of the embrace. Honestly, I'm still curious about the conversation she had with Daniel. However, Brother Darren did not answer, it clutched me tighter.

"Sister," call me because Brother Darren is still silent.

"She__"

"Sorry, please be polite at our place. If there's no need, we'll let go."

One of the police reprimanded us and made Kak Darren stop his sentence. We flinched and spontaneously let go of the embrace. After apologizing, we expressed the intention of warmness, which is to swipe Mayra.

The police told us to sit in the waiting room. While waiting for Mayra, I grumbled and nagged Darren. Because of his attitude, I had to endure the embarrassment. But instead of regretting his actions, he laughed happily, as if his actions were something of pride.

Shortly after, the police came and guided Mayra. My heart trembled for a moment. Friends who are usually beautiful charming, luxurious clothes and hair always follow the fashion, now only wearing blue T-shirts typical of prisoners. His hair was also messy and messy. Ahh, very concerning.

"Mayra!" I moved and slid into his arms. I don't care if a cop is still next to him.

"How are you, Ra, all right? The wedding was good, right? Dara's in good health too, isn't she?" Mayra asked a question.

The tightness in my chest grew more and more pronounced. I knew he was fragile, but was tough in front of me. I knew her net was harboring tears, but she smiled sweetly instead. Wh why?

"May, I'm sorry I couldn't help you" I whispered with tears beginning to break.

"Hey don't cry, I'm fine. Look, I'm fine, aren't I?"

Mayra stepped back and mutilated her perfect posture. I stared at him, until he finally looked down and shed tears. His smile and laughter were just fake.

"I'm your best friend, May. You're free to share with me, don't keep it alone." I approached her and wiped her tears. I led him to sit in a chair.

"My future is ruined, Ra," Mayra whispered with her head lowered.

"May___"

"I don't know how many years I can get out of here. In addition to being an intermediary, I also. Although only 2 times I wear it, but .. My test results have been positive," concluded Mayra which then makes me jerk.

"What's? Why, May?" ask me quickly.

"I'm a fool, a little bit of disappointment makes me act crazy. When there is a test, instead of running to God, I choose the wrong path. I'm a fool, Ra," Mayra said between her cries.

"May, I still don't understand. What the hell is going on with you?" I spoke while holding his shoulder.

"I haven't killed a fetus in my womb for long. Sorry, Ra, I can't tell you where it came from. Obviously, I was devastated after that. Every day I was haunted by feelings of guilt, until I finally chose alcohol and drugs to forget everything."

My eyes glared at his explanation. I never thought Mayra would experience anything so complicated. To be honest, I wonder who destroyed it. But I also cannot force. I appreciate his privacy.

"I don't accept his treatment. You are this broken, so he must also take responsibility. Tell me what can I do for you, May?"

"It's my fault, not her fault, Ra. You don't have to do anything, it's fine with your marriage." Mayra smiled at me and then looked towards Brother Darren. "Sister, take care of Kirana, yes," he continued.
