Iqbal lifted up Dania's body in his arms. Clearly visible in Dania's black bead Saka's frail body lies accompanied by various medical devices almost like her.
“Pa, brother Saka is sick?” Is it because of papa?” Saka's shadow flashed down after being pushed by Denny, his black bead glazed over ready to spill a clear liquid.
Denny turned to look at Dania and Iqbal alternately.
“Nia dear, Saka's sister is indeed sick, not because of papa.” Iqbal answered, calming Dania down and began to sob.
“But Saka's brother didn't hurt, before papa pushed back that time,” Dania hugged Iqbal tightly spilling the clear liquid on Iqbal's shoulder.
“Nia, papa accidentally. Saka's brother is sick, not because papa is pushing. There was a small stone inside Kak Saka's head. The stone is dangerous and must be removed. Now, the stone is gone and Saka's brother just fell asleep because he was tired after the coronation.” Denny's words outside trying to make Dania calm.
“If he only sleeps, why so many tools on his body?” Dania stared fixedly into the pair of black beads before her, searching for the truth there.
“Nia, the doctor installed the device, to keep Saka's brother, so as not to hurt anymore,” Iqbal tried to rotate the brain to make the innocent little girl in his arms understand.
“Iya, Saka will soon recover and be able to play again with Nia,” Clear liquid spilled on Denny's cheek, hoping his words become a reality.
In the same place, different room.
Jesika's body sat weakly on a bench, covering her face with both hands. The cry went out, because deep inside was very sad. Words from the lips kept ringing in the ears.
“Jes, drink. You'll be much calmer.” Hendrik handed me a bottle of mineral drink.
Slowly the hand covering Jesika's face came down. Raising his face looked at the man standing in front.
“Hen, I just want him to hate me, but why is it as if everything is true? If he wasn't here, meeting us, maybe none of this would have been possible? Before we lived happily, there was you and Aunt Ira. But, you can see now, I can't even be with my son?” Jesika's lips trembled in speech giving off sadness.
“Content yourself. We don't know what happens in the future, don't blame anyone. You will suffer even more, which is important now that Saka has received treatment. So, think carefully, especially Saka's recovery, Okay? Drink up, we'll see Saka again when you've calmed down.” Hendrik grabbed Jesika's hand and placed the bottle of drink in his hand.
Jesika looked at the bottle in her hand.
“Hen, you're a good man. I hope you get a good girl soon and love you.” Jesika opened the lid of the drink and downed slowly.
“I've met for a long time, but until now I haven't been able to make him love me.” Hendrik threw his back on the bench with a rough breath.
“Hen, I'm sorry not to realize how you feel, you're the best friend. Your kindness all this time, I can't reply until anytime. For me, a friend is more eternal than love. With friendship we will not hate and hurt each other. With friends we will not fear loss and heartbreak. It is easier to maintain friendship than love. You see how my love is? We can be together with friendship?” Jesika looked far ahead, deep in the heart Denny's face was still clearly visible.
“You know, I'm happy with you. I consider Saka really my son and you my life partner. We are a happy family. Numun, as happy as it was I was also sad it was all just a dream to have you two. If I can be honest, I have long wanted to express my feelings, again fear locked me away. And now that Denny's in front of you, I'm getting scared of losing you both. Can't we be together with the feelings you have towards me?” Hendrik looked at the side face of Jesika, he did not want to hold back his feelings. Moreover, Denny already knows that Jesika is Beautiful and Saka his son.
“You're right, he's already in front of me. But he's still as far away as he used to be, you're also right we don't know life in the future. But I can already imagine what my future life will be like. Her mother would never accept, any way she would separate us. I don't want to go back to him. You want us to be together, but you know I don't love you. Can you accept me with that feeling?” Jesika turned her head, returning Hendrik's gaze.
“Yes, of course I can. You just need love from me, no matter how you feel, I accept. So, can I propose to you?” Hendrik smilingly caught Jesika's face, he did not expect that the long-awaited thing would happen.
“But Hen, not now, Saka.., Jesika's lips stopped talking as Hendrik's index finger stuck there.
“Iya, I know. We'll wait until Saka gets well, then I'll propose to you. Don't worry, Saka will get well soon.” Hendrik clasped Jesika's hand and stared fixedly at the two black beads. He looked for a convincing crack, and erased Denny's shadow there.
“Mrs Jesika, Mr Hendrik, sorry to interrupt,” someone was heard calling.
Jesika and Hendrik simultaneously turned to the source of the voice.
“Can to my room now?” Doctor Joshua looked at Jesika and Handrik alternately.
“Good doctor,” Hendrik replied and then stood in follow Jesika, the two of them stepped together according to Doctor Joshua walking in front.
Inside the room, a pair of humans were listening intently to a white-coat man speaking.
Moments later, the girl cried in the man's arms. Both look very sad.
“Mr, madam, you must be strong. And I also told you. All treatment has been borne by Mr. Denny Prasetyo. He admitted as the father of Saka Bismantara after DNA tests were done.”
“How is the test done without approval from my mother?” Jesika opened her voice in anger.
“Sorry madam, Mr. Denny meets all the necessary requirements, we cannot refuse him. The result was also positive Saka Bismantara biological son of Denny Prasetyo. I work according to the professionalism of the applicable procedures,” Doctor Joshua tries to provide understanding so as to avoid misunderstandings.
“Doctor, I get it. Denny already knows the condition of Saka?” Ask Hendrik cools the atmosphere of the room that seems hot.
“Yes. I can't keep it a secret because Mr. Denny is entitled to know.” Obviously Dr. Joshua put on a calm face.
“Alright, thank you doctor, we hope and beg to do as much as possible for the recovery of our son,” Hendrik knows Denny will not stay silent because he himself has provoked Denny's suspicions.
“Sure, sir, it's already my responsibility. Thanks for the trust.” Joshua drew a smile, staring at the two interlocutors understanding the situation.
See Jesika and Hendrik leave Joshua's doctor's room. Their footsteps swayed in silence sinking in each other's minds.
