Accompanied by a parting smile on her lips, while tightly gripping her little daughter's Love, Adit took a few steps back from Dinda's pale body lying in her bed, and paused for a moment on the threshold of the dividing curtain.
"Bismillah, here I release you for your good and happiness, dear. Come back quietly, meet the true Owner of you..."
After satisfying his last glance, Adit closed his eyes for a moment to surrender to the Almighty.
Next he turned his body and walked away from Dinda's room with a smile that still appeared while looking at the face of the little princess who was very similar to her mother, down Dinda's beauty.
The little baby squirmed slowly and opened his eyes, as if he was looking at the father who kept looking at him. A small smile was seen on her tiny lips, as if giving strength to her papa that everything would be fine. A moment later, Cinta fell back asleep quietly in her warm embrace.
"We are strong, son. We'll always be together. Papa will always love and love you, guard and protect you..."
Arriving at the nurse's desk, Adit hands over her little daughter to a nurse who had previously brought Love from her treatment room.
"Suster, this is my baby. Please take her back to her room. Poor him for too long here. Thank you." Thank you."
The nurse immediately stood up and received Love from Adit's hands. After that he immediately took the little baby out of the ICU room.
After the baby is taken by the nurse, Adit confronts the other nurse there.
"Suster, I'd like to see a doctor to tell you something important." He said without hesitation. His heart was fully convinced, this decision was the best.
"Good, Sir. Let me take you to the doctor's office."
Another nurse swiftly stood up and asked Adit to follow her. They walked out of the room through a different door from the one that Adit had previously entered.
A few minutes later, they arrived at a medium-sized room, in which they saw a guard doctor who happened to belong to the team of doctors who handle Dinda, busy with patient care files stacked on the table.
After first knocking on the door and welcome in, the nurse followed Adit to the doctor.
"Excuse me, Doctor. Someone wants to meet you." The nurse who delivered Adit conveyed his purpose.
The doctor closed the report he was reading and looked at the front of his desk. Seeing Adit there, the doctor immediately invited Adit to sit down, while the nurse said goodbye to return to the ICU room.
"Yes, Father? How's it?" Ask the doctor kindly but still show the seriousness of his attitude.
"I've made up my mind, Doc. I'm..." Adit let out a long sigh before continuing his sentence.
Along with Adit who had opened his mouth to speak again, another nurse entered the room without permission and interrupted the conversation between Adit and the doctor.
"Sorry, Doc. Please come to the ICU. The patient on behalf of Adinda must be treated immediately..."
Spontaneous Adit stood stiffly before the doctor who also stood up quickly and rushed out of his room with half a run towards the ICU room not far away.
Adit who was originally silent, realized and hurriedly followed the fast steps of the doctor who had left him far enough. By the time he got out of the doctor's office, the doctor had disappeared behind the door of the side ICU room, which is specifically reserved for doctors and health workers.
"Brother should wait at the front door. The doctor will see you there." Said a nurse who was about to enter the room.
Adit nodded his head then stepped both legs that felt trembling, with the chest that still continues to pound hard. His heart was beating very fast, the nurse said in the doctor's office a moment ago.
"Have you left, baby? I haven't even had a chance to tell the doctor..." Despite being completely sincere, it is undeniable that Adit's heart continues to beat painfully feeling the tremendous loss.
The whole family was shocked to see Adit coming from the outside. To their knowledge, an hour ago Adit walked into the ICU room with his daughter Love, but now Adit is coming from another direction and is no longer with his daughter.
"What's up, Dit? What's going on?" Mama Indri looked at her son who came with a tense and silent face without a word.
"Where is Love?" Ask Arya's father who continues to hug his wife who is still sobbing.
Adit took a deep breath to calm himself down. If his heart had been calm and relieved after making the best decision, for some reason now his feelings are raging again erratically.
"From Dinda's room, I went straight to see the doctor and was escorted by the nurse through a side door closer to the doctor's room."
"Have you made your decision?" Ask Papa Satrio carefully.
Adit nodded and looked at those sitting before him one by one. He has to convey his decision.
"I don't want to weigh in on her steps, if it's time for her to go back to her owner..."
Papa Satrio stood up and approached his son. Adit's embrace was accompanied by several light pats on his shoulder. He strengthened the son.
Adit returned his papa's embrace tightly. Soon he let go of Papa Satrio's embrace to move on to Dinda's parents who were sitting next to her.
The man lowered his body, sitting between two pairs of Dinda's parents' legs while clenching his hands in front of his chest.
"I'm sorry, Dad, Mother. I'm sorry....."
Unable to hold it anymore, finally Adit's crying spilled in front of Aryan Father and Mother Nina, who also covered with tears.
Papa Satrio has sat back and hugged Mama Indri who again sobbed softly.
Time is almost dawn, when the whole family is dissolved in the deepest and most intense grief. A nurse came out of the room and looked for Adit.
"Father Aditya, you are asked by your doctor to go inside immediately." Said the nurse.
Adit rose from his position and set foot toward the door of the room. Once Adit arrived, the nurse immediately opened the door and let Adit enter first.
Adit walked towards Dinda's bed that was bounded by green curtains like the color of the sterile clothes he was wearing at this time.
The doctor stood waiting for him at the end of the barrier that was slightly open. His face flat made Adit unable to guess what had happened behind the curtain.
But sincerity and his original decision, made him have prepared his heart well and as hard as possible to face the reality that happened.
"Please come in, Mr. Aditya." The doctor gave Adit room to go back to see his wife.
Adit continued his steps past the doctor. The second time he entered the room. He had reached the edge of Dinda's bed.
His eyes caught something different than before. Some of the medical equipment that was originally still installed in Dinda's body is no longer visible. The breathing apparatus that had been covering the nose and mouth was no longer there.
Adit's heart seemed to drift in no direction. After his true love story with Dinda, the first and last woman he will always love.
His eyes were tightly closed withstanding the clear fur that had almost escaped from the corner of his eye. He set his breath as calm as possible, so as not to look weak in the presence of his beloved wife.
There was clearly a shadow of Dinda's face in the blink of her eyes. Her beautiful face, her charming smile and her ever-long indulgence. Everything about Dinda is always full of beauty for her.
Adit still continues to float his memories one by one created during his time with Dinda for more than five years.
But suddenly he jerked and opened his eyes immediately, when his ears heard the voice of someone calling him.
"Dude........."
