The Complicated Love #2

Raka Into the Hospital

Everyone was anxious in front of the ICU room, Raka was being treated by the medical team intensively. Sheril doesn't stop fidgeting, she's afraid of anything happening to her husband.

Shena and Sheila immediately took her mother to a deserted place. It seems like they will interrogate his mother because to the best of their knowledge only his mother was with Raka when they left.

"Ma, what exactly happened to Mas Saka?" Shena still often calls out Saka's real name rather than Raka's name.

"Sorry Mama, Mama didn't mean to hurt your Mas. Mama only talks to him about his son and ex-wife. Telling Saka that she was married before her accident." Her mother explained with teary eyes.

Shena couldn't believe what she had just heard. She couldn't believe her mother would tell Saka all that.

"Mama knows, Mas Saka is not yet the time to know all that. He's still in the process of getting there. His memory is still fragile, if forced will have a bad impact on the condition of his brain. Mama can kill Mas Saka if that's how." Shena almost screamed in front of her mother. He never thought his mother had such short thoughts.

"Mama just wants her to take back Kiano from Riana ...."

"Ma ... Jesus ...! You can't impose such a will. You know, how guilty were we to them? Expel them, Mama remember? Kiano was a kid back then, where was Mama's conscience?"

Shena continued to scout her mother, while Sheila could only calm her mother who was already sobbing.

"If something happens to Mas Saka, who wants responsibility? Mama .. realized that we had almost lost Mas Saka forever. Now it was even Mama who delivered Mas Saka to death itself."

"Shena, already! Mama already admitted it, you don't have to be so angry." Sheila tried to control the atmosphere.

Shena then leaves them both and returns to the front of the ICU room. There Sheril is still waiting in dismay, it's been two hours Saka inside and there has been no news from the medical team who handled it.

"Mba, calm down. Mas Raka must be fine. Don't worry too much."

Sheril just nodded, Shena tried to calm her sister-in-law down by giving her shoulder to lean on. Sheril's eyes have been reddened by tears that continue to flow.

About four hours Saka received intensive care, until finally the doctor came out and informed them about Saka's condition.

"How, Doc?"

"Patient has just had surgery on the head. We had to take this action because the patient had a fluid clot in the head area. Has the patient had a previous injury? Or is the patient forced to remember something from his past?"

Sheril looks over at Shena, then turns to Sheila and her mother-in-law. Shena looked at Mama a little sharply, like saying that you should be honest with the doctor.

"So, we were talking and he suddenly had a headache when he wanted to remember something. Then he fell unconscious." The conditions are like that, but not everything is right. Because it was actually the mamanyah who forced Saka to remember her past.

It's impossible for Mama to tell the truth either, because if Sheril finds out then she could just go berserk at him. Sheril loves Saka so much, if she finds out her mother-in-law is forcing Saka to remember her past then Sheril's position will be threatened.

"Have we seen him, Doc?" ask Mama Saka.

"Only one person can enter. Please one of you choose who will enter."

"Sa ..."

"I'm his wife, Doc. Let me accompany my husband inside." Sheril cuts off quickly the words of her mother-in-law.

"Ma, sorry .. but let Sheril accompany Mas Raka."

"Dad, Mba. Let Mba go first, Mama and I should go home first. Come back later, so do we have to spend more time in Bali?" ask Shena.

"If Mama, Shena and Sheila want to return first to Jakarta no problem. Let Sheril take care of Mas Raka here until she recovers."

"No! Let Mama stay in Bali. Mama doesn't want anything to happen to Mama's son."

"Mba, let's take Mama home first huh?"

Shena moved quickly to pull her mother away from the hospital. Shena was already very sick of the attitude of her mother who wanted to win by herself.

Inside the ICU, Sheril was rubbing her husband's face.

"What do you remember? Do you remember your ex-wife?"

"You shouldn't remember it anymore. Where he was when you lay fragile and almost died alone in the hospital. Raka, I'll never be willing if you come back to her."

"If you can, maybe I'd better tell the doctor to erase all your memories in the past. Let me be all you remember, be in your heart, and always be with you."

"I was wrong to leave you. Now, I don't want that mistake repeated. I regret what happened, because let me be the only one in your heart. Not the ex-wife who wasted you."

Sheril continued to talk to Saka who was lying unconscious. Medical devices were attached almost all over his body. Saka's head got a bandage, maybe a stitch from the operation.

Gently, she clasped her husband's hand. Then kiss the hand and pray that when Saka wakes up, her memory of her past is no longer there.
