The End of the Story

Letting Go

Adit was already in the hospital, he was silent where he stood when he saw Ana from the gap of the glass door.

Although he did not know what happened to Ana, but he did not see Ana's big belly.

Shortly thereafter the Doctor came out and explained Ana's condition to Adit. The doctor explained that Ana was fine, but the baby in the womb could not be saved.

"Harsh collisions make the patient experience bleeding and premature rupture of the membranes, it makes the baby in the womb must be born prematurely, but the patient is late to be taken to the hospital so.... we apologize for not saving the baby's life" the doctor explained.

Adit lost his power. He fell on the floor after hearing the doctor's explanation.

He felt that he had failed to keep Ana and the baby in the womb properly. He felt that his world was completely paralyzed by then.

"I hope you can be stoic and strong, because I'm sure the patient now needs the strength of the people closest to him," the doctor reminded Adit.

Adit just kept quiet by covering his face. He sat on the floor with tears that he could no longer bear.

His heart was completely broken and in excruciating pain. He does not know what to face Ana, he even fails to look after a baby who has not seen the world, making him feel like the worst man ever.

"Forgive me and Lisa mas Adit" said Ms. Desi, full of guilt.

Not only Adit, Miss Desi and Lisa could not hold back their tears after hearing the doctor's explanation.

They also feel guilty for taking Ana to the hospital too late. They even resigned if Adit fired them that day.

Adit wiped away her tears, arranged her heart and strengthened her heart to stay strong in front of Ana because even though the child in Ana's womb was not her child, she loved her as much as she loved Ana.

After Ana is transferred to the ward, Aditpun enters Ana's room. She clasped Ana's hand, hoping she could accept what had happened to her baby.

Soon after Ana blinked, Ana opened her eyes and realized something different.

Ana pulls her hand from Adit's grasp and rubs her already flat stomach.

"Adit, where's our baby Dit? he's good, isn't he?" asked Ana with teary eyes.

"He is. he is in An's heaven" Adit replied in a hoarse voice.

He was really heavy to say that, but inevitably he had to tell Ana what had happened.

Ana shook her head softly with tears that had already drenched her cheeks.

"He is happy in An's heaven, he will be an angel who will wait for you there" said Adit with his hand.

Ana just kept quiet along with the pain that pierced her deeply. Her tears did not stop dripping even though there was not a single word spoken from her lips.

The deep pain seemed to have taken away his life. He regretted having refused the presence of the baby in the womb and now his karma has come.

The baby she had conceived chose to leave because of Ana's desire in the past. She was right to regret her actions, to blame herself for what happened to her baby.

Adit then wiped the tears on Ana's cheek, he knew how much pain Ana felt at that time even though Ana was just silent.

"Stay me Dit" said Ana with a trembling voice.

"I'll be here with you" Adit replied.

"I need some time to myself, please," Ana said, looking into Adit's eyes.

Adit then releases his hand to Ana, kisses Ana on the forehead and leaves Ana's room.

Ana held onto her stomach and rubbed it slowly.

"I'm sorry dear mama, forgive mama for not being able to take care of you well, dear mama is the same you even before mama sees you, please forgive mama," said Ana by shedding all her tears.

Ana cried with a heart-wrenching voice. In an instant, he lost his spirit in life.

Unable to hear Ana's cry, Aditpun went back in and brought Ana into his arms.

Ana cries in Adit's arms, as does Adit who cries without a sound. Imagine when the tiny baby was born with his cry, making them fall further into grief.

"I'm sorry An, I should have taken better care of you guys" Adit said in a hoarse voice.

"It's all my fault, Dit, because I've done something that's out of bounds and I even had time to reject his presence, this is all my fault, this is karma for me!" said Ana with tears falling from both corners of her eyes.

"I'm not a good mother Dit, I can't take care of her, I haven't even heard her voice," continued Ana who sounded increasingly bitter and stifling.

Time passes with grief over Adit and Ana. That afternoon's sky led them to their baby's final resting place.

"He was happy there, brother, I'm sure he had felt the same affection before Ana was born" said Andi who tried to strengthen her brother.

"Patience dear, this has been the way of God, mama is sure God will love the gift behind this ordeal," said mama Siska trying to strengthen Ana.

Adit and Ana just kept quiet by staring at the small tomb before them.

Not only Adit and Ana, Andi and the mother are also teary-eyed when they learn of the bad events that happened to baby Ana.

"Don't get late in the sadness of Adit Ana, your son is happy in heaven, he also wants to see you happy," said mama Siska and then invite Andi to go, give Adit and Ana time to both be there.

After Andi and Siska's mother, Ana drops herself next to the little mound. He wept and lamented in Adit's arms.

"He went Dit, he really did go" Ana said with her sobs that broke the silence.

"You have to be strong An, you have to keep going on with your life well, I'm sure he's always seen us from there and he definitely wants us to be happy" Adit said.

Ana still sobbed with grief until she lost her consciousness in Adit's arms. Adit then carried Ana towards his car.

Andi who saw it immediately opened the car door and drove her car to go home.

Adit delivers the aromatherapy oil in Ana's nose, making Ana regain consciousness from her stupor.

But Ana again cried in Adit's arms, for her every breath with grief that so painful.

Time passed, days changed nonstop.

It's been almost a year since she became Dimas' wife. He still works for Adit as Adit's personal assistant.

Some whispers are always heard Early considering she has not been pregnant after almost a year of their marriage.

Although Dini tried to ignore him, but deep in his heart he was also sad. He and Dimas have checked with the experts and they are both equally healthy.

He and Dimas could only wait until God gave them faith.

"Do you have to resign, baby? it may be your busyness that makes you ungodly......"

"Ma, Dimas told me not to talk about this anymore!" dimas said cutting off the mother's words.

Dimas know the conversation about it always makes Dini sad and he has warned the mother or his father not to discuss it in front of Dini.

"Sorry dear, my mother did not mean to offend you," said Mama Dimas in Dini.

"No papa ma," replied Early by trying to smile.

Dimas and Dini then went home to them.

"Darling, how about next month's vacation?" take Dimas when they get home.

"Vacation? both?"

"You can take whoever you want, maybe you want to take Andi with you?"

"Andi? same Anita?"

"Well, we can go on holiday to the villa so we don't have time for a long trip!"

"Okay, I'll tell Anita, you tell Andi?"

Dimas nodded his head and brought Dini into his arms. He loves his wife very much, no matter what happens he will always try to make Dini happy.

"Here, my mom is really kangen with you, how are you?" asked Mama Siska who immediately hugged Dini.

"It's good ma'am, mama how are you?"

"Mama's good, too, baby, how? still empty?" mama Siska replied at once asking by rubbing Dini's stomach.

Dini just smiled awkwardly at Mama Siska's question. A stale base that was too nauseating for Dini.

"You have to eat a lot of vegetables and meat, baby, you....."

"Let's go!" said Andi who arrived arrived and hugged the mother in front of Dini.

"Mama still wants to talk to her early let her...."

"Andi go first ma!" said Andi then kissed the cheek of the mother, so that her mother stopped talking about things that make Dini uncomfortable.

"Dimas same Early excuse me aunt," said Dimas to mama Siska.

"Yes, be careful," replied mama Siska.

Then they get in the car. Andi as a driver, while Dimas and Dini are on the back bench.

"I'm sorry about what my mom said!" andi said to Dini.

"No papa," reply Early brief.

Andi drives Dimas to Anita's house. Soon Anita came in and sat down beside Andi.

Andipun immediately drove Dimas' car towards the villa owned by the Dimas family that they had visited several times.

"What holiday are you on in college?" ask Anita to Andi.

"Nit semester break, I took most of yesterday's vacation!" answer Andi.

Yes, Andi has already enrolled her S2 at the best university in her city. As Aletta had told her, she would start her life better.

About Dini, he still let Dini be the only occupant of his heart, but he had forgotten his sadness.

The pain he felt had melted away with time. Now he has made peace with his heart and restarted his steps to tread the path of his new life.

Arriving at the villa, they immediately dropped the body on the sofa in the living room.

They talked about many things and then rested in their rooms before preparing for a barbeque party in the front yard.

"You still work at Adit Din's company?" ask Anita to Dini.

"Yes," replied Dini while cutting the meat.

"You are very lucky Din, Dimas can understand all your decisions" said Anita.

"How are you with Andi?" ask Anita.

"I'm with Andi? just like before, we're just friends" Anita replied.

"Nit, you watch the fire, I'm going to the mini market!" andi told Anita.

"I went to the minimarket" Anita replied.

"You sure? dare alone?"

"How dare you buy what?"

"Buy snacks, let's not weigh all this," replied Andi.

"Okay, I'll go first!"

Anita then leaves the villa to go to the minimarket.

Shortly thereafter bi Em came to Dimas.

"Mas, I'll go for a minute and call you to get some firewood!" say bi Em on Dimas.

"Bather where's bi?"

"At home, won't I stay for a while?"

"Aja who calls bi, distance if aunty to the house on foot, at this hour also no ojek!"

"Thank you if that's the case," replied bi Em.

"Where's Dim's house? I was there!" ask Andi.

"Far away from here, you won't know!"

"Let's have a GPS!"

"Here the signal is difficult, you are here rather than stray even difficult!"

"Darling, I'm going!" say Dimas in Dini.

"Yes heart," reply Early.

Now there are only Dini and Andi in the courtyard of the villa. Since it had not been the two of them for a long time, they were a little awkward.

Confused about how and what to talk about, Dini accidentally injures her own hand.

"Abs!!" early Strangulation.

"Why Din? got knives?" asked Andi who only answered the nod of Dini's head.

Andi then took cold water and washed his fingers with cold water before cleaning his blood.

"Be careful, don't be careless!" said Andi while attaching the plaster to the wound Early.

Dini just smiled hearing Andi's words. He was happy to be that close again to Andi.

"Why?" asked Andi who saw Dini kept smiling by lowering her head.

"No papa," replied Dini who was still hiding her smile.

"Dimas treat you well Din?" ask Andi.

"Yes, he is the best husband for me" replied Dini.

Andi just nodded her head then sat down next to Dini.

"How are you with Aletta?" ask Dini.

"Aletta's? we still communicate several times, but not so intense, because we are just as busy" replied Andi.

"Anita?"

"As you can see, I used to be with Anita ya kayak gini" replied Andi.

"Don't you ever think about who your future will be?"

Andi shook her head slowly by looking up at the night sky.

"Why? is there someone in your heart?"

"Yes, there is," replied Andi.

"Who?"

"You," Andi replied with still staring at the dark expanse above him.
