THE HEAVEN THAT IS TAKEN AWAY

Part 100: How Much the Wound of Betrayal

"how is this, son? You really need that money now. You won't get the treatment you're supposed to, if the hospital administration money isn't paid off right away." Mr. Roman said he looked agitated. I could see his face looking confused.

"let's see, sir, we'll pay the hospital's administration fee now. We'll finish the transaction later, after all the hospital business is taken care of." I can't bear to see Mr. Roman grieving, his disheveled face made me take the initiative to avoid hospital costs.

"well son, you can't say anything more. You feel sorry but what power the father really needs help son Rianti now.

"it's okay sir. I understand and my brother must also be very happy to be able to help you."

"thank you very much, son."

"yes sir. Well then, my brother and I are going to the hospital administration to complete the payment."

"well okay. I'll wait for Rianti and Roland here."

"let's brother." I said as I glanced at Brother Roland, he was still silent.

I really don't think about seeing Roland's attitude right now. He remained silent where he stood, as if he did not have a single initiative. Even from that moment on, I did not hear a single word come out of his mouth.

I smiled inwardly, while Rolad was stricken with love fever. I understand and understand Roland's change of attitude.

"mas Roland, accompany me mas." I pulled Roland's hand, he was just a manut when I invited him.

After completing the payment, we went back to see Mr. Roman. I immediately handed the payment to Mr. Roman, he seemed happy when he received it.

"thank you Roland and Rianti, I'm grateful to see you. May God repay you many times all the good you did for me."

"Amen...!" Me and Roland's mas simultaneously guaranteed Mr. Roman's prayer. I looked around and found that Ayuna was not around.

"where did Ayuna go, sir?"

"he's in the room where mom's being cared for, son."

"oh yeah, where's the care mom?" I asked Mr. Roman.

"mother is treated here son." Mr. Roman pointed to the room where his wife was in the swamp, and he let me and Roland in.

I followed in his footsteps, and his wife was asleep. I felt very concerned to see his condition, looked pale and very thin.

Mr. Roman approached his wife and carefully covered her. What a very moving sight, I was amazed to see the affection given Mr. Roman to his wife.

"how long have you been sick, sir?"

"it's been almost a year, son, but it's been like this for almost two months." He said with sadness clearly drawn on his face, to make me feel the sadness he felt at this time.

Ayuna looked pensive on the other side of the bed, her face was no less moody and sad than the face of Mr. Roman. I felt the atmosphere in this room was filled with sadness that could not be described, making my mouth difficult to speak again.

For a moment, I was silent. I think back to when my mother was admitted a few years ago, she was hospitalized before she died.

I feel Mr. Roman's wife is still lucky than my mother because when sick Mr. Roman faithfully accompanied him. In the past, I was the only one who took care of my mother because my father had died.

My dad died when I was a kid in a car accident. I don't know what caused his injury, I feel that there is a strange thing about his death. But since I was a kid, I couldn't figure out what caused it.

Before the accident, I had seen my mother cry herself silently, she cried so pitifully.

"{you are evil mas, I have betrayed all my sacrifices, may God repay your treatment to me}." I often heard those words when my mother cried, she cried until she finally fell asleep.

Ever since I saw her crying, I always accompanied her to sleep. I didn't want to see my mother cry again until she got sick. After a while, my mother finally left me forever.

How big a wound from betrayal, until my mother brought him to the camp to pick him up. I really hate the man who destroyed my mother, so hopefully he will get a more painful reply.

"dik!" Mas Roland said as he held my shoulder, my daydream stopped. I cried even though I did not shed tears.

I miss my mother, the woman who raised me so lovingly. How sad the reality of my life, a woman who is full of sincerity and has immeasurable compassion, suffered until the end of her life.

I closed my eyes for a moment, trying to neutralize my feelings. I tried to forget all the shadows of the past for a moment, refocusing on the one before me now.

"why Rianti's son?"

"it's okay sir." I said with a smile covering up the true feelings.

"father must be steadfast in facing this ordeal yes, may mother be immediately given a cure." I said, trying to comfort him.

I could no longer ask, not wanting to make him sad.

"Amen..!" mr. Roman assures, his lips seem to vibrate. I could see how much a burden was squeezing his chest.

"father has eaten yet?" Ma'am Ayuna asked Mr. Roman, he looked weak.

"in that case, I bought food for you" said mbak Ayunan again.

"later, son, you're not hungry yet."

"let's see, sir, we're going to the canteen. I'm also very hungry, but I don't know where it is". I said to Mr. Roman, maybe I should take him out to eat together.

I pity to see him willing to endure hunger, for the sake of taking care of his wife. He then escorted me, but when I was about to get out I saw that Roland was about to follow us.

"mas Roland here, accompany me to Ayuna."

"i-iya dik."

I'm out of the room and on the street with Mr. Roman. Not long after we arrived at the cafeteria, I immediately ordered food for the two of us.

"let's eat sir." I took Mr. Roman out to eat after the food I ordered was on the table.

"but son,"

"father should eat, so as to take care of mother. I need my father now, I have to take care of my health so as not to get sick."

"yes son." Roman nodded, looking at me for a moment.

"let's go, sir, we'll finish this meal right away."

"i-iya son."

Mr. Roman and I started eating, trying to focus on my food. I'm actually not so hungry, I deliberately invite him to eat in this way.

I'm happy to see Mr. Roman eating food, even though he looks less enjoying. I hope and pray in my heart that he will always be given strength and health to face the trials that he now faces. Amiyy.......!
