Keynna bowed languidly in the front waiting seat of the ER. Her hand held her head that was throbbing pain due to the incident of her stings of the mother.
Tap
The sound of footsteps rang out behind him. At the end of the bend of the corridor, Lisa, Anna, Panji and Regan appear. They went straight to Keynna.
"Key, aren't you papa?" ask Lisa while sitting next to her.
Keynna looked up, his face wet with tears.
"Take me, Lis. Smoke me." isak Keynna. Lisa hugged Keynna with Anna rubbing her shoulder.
"Patience to you, Key. I'm sure you're okay." comfort Lisa.
"Eh btw, where's Saka?" chirp Anna.
"Oh, he's in the parlour now again on the road" Regan replied. Anna nodded in understanding.
The doctor appeared shortly. Keynna immediately rose up followed by Anna, Lisa, Panji and Regan. They all approached the doctor.
"How's the doc of my mom? I'm okay, right?" ask Keynna.
"Relax Key, let the doctor talk first" Anna said.
"Kirana's Bu condition is fine. Fortunately, Ms. Kirana was immediately taken to the hospital, try if not, heart attack patients who had not received help for too long can immediately die" explained the Doctor.
"My mother did have a history of heart disease but the disease never recurred again" Keynna said.
"It looks like Ms. Kirana is in shock with something or she could be too exhausted. So his heart work is back to normal. The disease is not severe enough, not to have to be operated. Just always be diligent to check-up every month."
Keynna just breathed a sigh of relief.
"Can I meet my mom?" ask Keynna.
"Please. But wait after the patient is transferred to the ward."
"Okay doc, thank you."
"Either. Excuse me first." said the doctor back into the ER.
Keynna felt his legs drown directly in the chair. Lisa and Anna are loyal to her left right.
"Lo don't papa Key?" ask Lisa to worry.
"Lo want a drink first? Your face is very big." said Anna.
Keynna just shook his head slowly. His mind was now on the mother.
***
Kirana is still under the influence of drugs. Doctors deliberately injected sleeping pills in low doses so that Kirana could rest in peace. As the doctor said, his mother was very tired and did not get enough sleep. That's what makes Kirana's heart work weakened and eventually had a heart attack.
But to be honest, Keynna was convinced there was one other reason. The reason that makes Kirana disease relapse. Papa's wedding news.
Four of his friends accompanied him. As the day neared night, they all forced Keynna to return home. Moreover Anna, the girl should not be in the hospital too long. Let them all go home by force.
Ten minutes after her friends' departure, Keynna sat alone beside Kirana's bed. He has not changed his clothes and still wears a school uniform. Anna initially offered to change her clothes, but Keynna refused because she did not want to be away from Kirana.
Crewman
Keynna who was closing his eyes with his hands supporting his head immediately woke up when his stomach made a rumbling sound. He held his stomach wrapped around because he had not had time to eat lunch. It's even night.
Tok
Keynna turned to the door. He lethargicly got up and walked towards the door. And as soon as it opened, he found Arshaka standing at the door with her hands full of luggage.
***
Arshaka and Keynna were sitting in waiting chairs. Keynna noticed Arshaka's activity of unloading all of his luggage. Arshaka took a goodybag, he handed it to Keynna.
"Gue doesn't want to change clothes." declined Keynna when looking at the contents.
"It's a mess, and you're still wearing a uniform. Cakra is no malem school." said Arshaka.
"Serious cave. I'm really not in the mood."
Arshaka looked straight at Keynna's eyes, "Gue is serious too." she said in a heavy tone.
Keynna brushed off Arshaka's view. He then glanced at the food that was in another goodybag.
"Food for me, right?" tanyakanya.
Arshaka followed Keynna's line of sight and nodded. Arshaka then took out the food he brought.
"Gue deliberately asked the caretaker to make masakin lo. Cobain."
"Thanks." -."
Keynna then began to bribe his food. He nodded his head.
"Enak." praised.
"Abisin."arshaka's word.
"Lo want?" bargain Keynna.
Arshaka shook his head, "Make it."
Keynna sniffed her shoulders and began to eat again.
Arshaka then kept quiet. He looked at Keynna who was very greedy at his food.
Keynna realized that Arshaka continued to stare at him silently.
"No one wants you to say that?" ask Keynna.
Arshaka was silent for a moment.
"Lo's not okay?"tanyakanya.
Keynna smiled faintly. He then nodded.
"Gue isn't okay anymore" he replied.
"Yokap lo's disease is not very chronic. Just need regular check-ups every month." said Arshaka.
"Where do you know? That's exactly what the doctor said." exclaimed Keynna in surprise.
"Gue stopped by the doctor who ngerawat nyokap lo. It's what it is." explained Arshaka.
"Why don't you go straight to me?"
"I'm afraid you can't talk."
Keynna was silent but a second later she nodded.
"Gue is the least powerful person if you have to tell the story of the nyokap condition. Fortunately, he is fine now. I can't bear to imagine if he's why." said Keynna lirih.
"Gue found me unconscious in his room. Shadow my fear when I knew that he had a heart attack. I thought his heart was all right. Because it never relapses again. But..." Keynna couldn't hold back the crying. Her face flushed.
Arshaka brought herself closer to Keynna. He clasped Keynna's shoulder and pressed the girl's head against her. Keynna refused.
"Gue's really scared. Tomorrow's his birthday and I don't want to celebrate his death either. I can't bear it when my mom leaves. I have no one else." isak Keynna.
Arshaka was silent. He let Keynna spill it all.
"And I know why I think I'm this. Why would he suddenly have a heart attack."
"Why?" ask Arshaka.
"Gue found my wedding invitation in his hand." replied Keynna.
Arshaka asked no further. He understood the point of trouble.
Keynna suddenly sat up straight. She's not crying anymore.
"Saka, you go home" he said suddenly.
Arshaka frowned, "Why?"
"Because it's a shame."
Arshaka's eyes narrowed, "Lo won't do anything weird right?"
"What's weird do you mean?"
"Anything. You told me to come home because there was something, didn't you?"
"There is no Arshaka. Seriously. I just told you to go home because it's too bad. Tomorrow you also have to go to school. Btw, I'm clearance tomorrow, tell me."
Arshaka did not answer. He kept watching Keynna carefully. His sight scoured.
"Why see me mulu? I know I'm beautiful but not seen gini dong too. Fake gold clay cake lo." decak Keynna.
Arshaka returned to her flat expression.
"OKAY. I'm back." break it up.
Keynna nodded with a smile.
"Thank you again for coming here. I know you're busy." said Keynna.
Arshaka nodded, "Gue turned back." said.
"Be careful on the road."
Arshaka stroked Keynna's mane slowly then left.
After Arshaka died, Keynna walked to the mother's room. He opened the door and saw that Kirana was still asleep. Keynna walked slowly, trying not to wake Kirana up.
Arriving at the edge of Kirana's nursery bed, Keynna rubbed the back of Kirana's hand. Her tears instantly dripped but she quickly wiped them. He really could not bear to see Kirana in this weak state.
"Ma, I'm going first. I'll be back here."pamit Keynna.
Keynna smiled and walked out of her mother's ward.
But before leaving, he took the time to meet the guarding nurse.
"I have a business for a minute, can you please take care of my mom first?" pinta Keynna's.
The nurse nodded.
"Please call when there's anything." continued Keynna.
"Well." answered the nurse.
After his business was completed, Keynna left the hospital.
***
Keynna took a taxi to his destination. His car he stayed at home because he had stopped by the house. Along the way, Keynna's face was lethargic and pale. Tonight, a decision will affect his life in the future.
After driving for forty minutes, Keynna arrived at the gate of a luxury house in the center of Bandung. This is his father's house, Reon.
After paying argo and saying thank you, Keynna got off the taxi. He walked towards the door of Reon's mansion. He knows that his papa is at home, seen from Reon's car parked in the garage.
Tong
Keynna rang the bell. Before long the door opened from inside. But the one who opened it was Reon's maid.
"Is there?" ask Keynna directly.
"She, Non. Let's go in." The maid looked puzzled at the cold look of her master's son.
Without saying anything, Keynna went straight into Reon's house. This was his second time and probably his last to break into Reon's house.
Keynna walked into the living room, and Reon was sitting on the couch reading a book. Keynna screeched cynically, seeing how calm Reon was now. Keynna pum approached him immediately.
"Pa, is papa really going to marry that girl?" shoot at Keynna.
Reon is shocked by Keynna's sudden appearance. He took off his glasses.
"Keynah? Since when did you come? Sit down first."
Keynna shook his hand, "No need. Just answer my question now." asserted Keynna.
Reon closed the book and looked at Keynna, "So you asked what?"
"I asked, is Dad really going to marry her? With that whore chick?"
"Keynna, she's your mom's candidate. Can you put a little respect on her?" said Reon softly.
"I will never honor the one who destroyed my family." - Says Keynna.
"So.can you answer my question now?"
Reon was silent for a moment, he nodded. And it makes Keynna's heart ache.
"Why is he really going to marry her? Then how's mama?!" yell Keynna.
"Keynna, papa and mama were divorced two years ago" Reon said.
"Yes, because papa cheated on him! Papa betrayed mama who is as good as my father likes to mourn together! Why is papa doing that? WHAT'S WRONG MAMA?!" Keynna Jokes. His breath gasping with anger.
"You little boy, you don't need to know." Reon said coldly.
Keynna was flabbergasted in disbelief.
"Don't you know, Mama's now hospitalized? You know, if your mom had a heart attack? Papa knows what? BECAUSE MAMA SAW YOUR INVITATION!"
Reon froze up.
"Your mom's in the hospital? How's keatannya? She's okay, right?" ask Reon worriedly.
Keynna smiled in disbelief at Reon's reaction.
"Papa's worried? Why is it only now that papa is worried about his condition? Why not from before? Why not when you decide to cheat, why not at that time? Let papa not be cheating." isak Keynna.
Reon instantly softened as soon as he saw Keynna's tears, "Keynna, papa apologize. But you have to marry Linda."
"Why? Why are you married when your wounds have not healed? Did you not hug your mom enough two years ago? Be married?Papa's not sane!" keynna.
"Mas."Call Linda from the second floor.
Reon and Keynna. But Keynna's eyes were wide at the sight that the serpent woman was holding a boy. Probably about two years old. And his face was very similar to his papa as a child.
"What's this about? Who's the kid?" ask Keynna confused. He demanded an explanation from Reon.
"He's..." Reon looked flabbergasted. Keynna started thinking no.
"Could possibly..."
"Yes, right. He's our son. Jefrey Aden Iskandar." Linda interrupted as soon as she approached Reon.
"What's? So you guys..."
"You were right about that two years ago. My dad and I did not do it intentionally. And it turns out I'm pregnant. Mama you know about that. But I never asked Reon to get a divorce from his wife. Your own mother asked for it. So don't blame Reon." Linda explained lightly.
Keynna clenched her hand. His mouth tightened.
"Damn it!" yell Keynna.
Plaques
Keynna slapped Linda hard.
"KEYNNA!" Shouted Reon furiously.
Keynna stared fiercely at her papa, "WHAT? PAPA WANT TO HIT ME BACK? WANT TO FUCK THIS GIRL?"
Reon was silent even though his eyes were staring angrily at the behavior of his daughter.
"You shouldn't slap Linda in front of your sister." Reon sighed.
"Sister? I'm the youngest, pa. And I'm not at all willing to have a sister like her." Keynna pointed out Jefrey.
"Girlgig!" Jeffrey cried for a moment. Linda looked panicked. He tried to calm Jefrey down while enduring the pain of Keynna's slap.
"Cup, cup, baby, let's go to the room." comfort Linda.
Linda walked while calming her son but just took a few steps. Keynna.
"Stop."
Linda stopped, she turned back.
Keynna looked at her papa coldly. A look he had never shown anyone.
"It's time to make a choice. Married the girl or didn't get married and stay with me?"
Reon was worried.
"Keynna, papa can't help but get married. As you know Jefrey is our son, he needs his parents legitimately and whole. He was a kid. Papa must take responsibility with him." Reon said half-heartedly. His face looks depressed.
"Then don't I need a whole parent?" reply Keynna.
"Key..."
But Keynna didn't tell him, "Pick him or me?" it becomes clearer.
Reon was silent, Linda was. Everyone felt intimidated by Keynna's aura of anger. Jeffrey stopped his crying.
"Jawab." urged Keynna.
Reon sighed softly, "Sorry papa, son. But papa chose them." Reon answered staring Linda and Jefrey in Linda's arms. After that, he looked down his head.
Deg
Keynna's eyes seemed to be shaking. But his mouth remained tightly closed. His hands were tightly clenched. His emotions were really in his mouth.
Keynna nodded softly, "OK, no problem." she replied lightly. Trying to hold back her tears.
Reon looked. His eyes were fixed on Keynna's eyes.
Keynna suddenly took something out of her bag. A family card.
Reon knew what Keynna was going to do. He panicked immediately.
"No, son. Please, Key. Don't tear it."he asked to weld it. Linda was surprised too.
But Keynna's heart was already frozen. He looked into the eyes of the father without blinking. His rapture is hardened,
"Goodbye, pa. We're not father and son anymore."
Sret
Keynna immediately tore the family card right in front of Reon's eyes. He then threw the finished piece of useless paper onto the floor.
"Now it's just useless paper. I'll send you the official letter soon." continued Keynna coldly.
Reon freezes. Her tears fell. Her eyes are red.
Without a word, Keynna left. But when she passed Linda, she stopped for a while.
Keynna looked at Linda with a piercing look. Linda looked scared.
"Congratulations, snake girl. Lo broke the heart of a child today. Hope your son doesn't follow in my footsteps." concluded Keynna cold. Then Keynna took his foot off again.
As she moved away from the house, Keynna promised that she would never be hurt again. He left all his wounds with that piece of family card. Although her tears were dripping, she did not want to weaken anymore.
While Reon, slowly fell down. His trembling hand scavenged piece by piece tore his family card. Her tears are flowing.
Duars
Lightning suddenly sounded loud. Following heavy rain. The universe seems to be saddened by this incident. On this rainy night, Reon has lost his daughter.
***
Keynna ran all the way. He did not care about the rain that poured down mercilessly. Because in reality, his heart had hurt first. He didn't care about the rain that stoned him from every direction. His nerves were raging due to the excessive pressure.
"Hiks, hysterics." Keynna kept crying along the way. He continued running even though everyone was looking at him strangely. Because when others were shading for shelter from the rain, Keynna instead ran through the rain.
This is like a Korean drama that Keynna always watches in sad times. But Keynna didn't expect that he would experience it himself. He didn't expect it to hurt like this.
Keynna arrived at a park. He ran around the athletic field. Crying loudly, screaming and cursing endlessly. Whether to be grateful or not that the sky is helping him by lowering the rain.
Tonight, on the night of my mother's birthday. Keynna got two lashes. The pain of my mother. And the father's bitter decision.
He lost his papa. The man he liked the first time. The man who became his first love. The man who always approached his bedroom and told stories to him every night. The man who always sang his birthday song.
But not anymore. He won't have any more protectors. He lost his solace. He lost everything.
Keynna lost his papa. Forever.
Keynna stopped running. He set his breath in breath.
But suddenly the rain that soaked his body was no longer felt. Keynna looked up and she saw someone was paddling her. Keynna's eyes rounded when he knew who was holding the black umbrella.
