As Ika Natassa said:
The taste is as simple as a warm greeting from the right person.
βββββ
Still Max POV's.
With a definite step, I walked out of Lisa's bedroom door. While exhaling a sigh of relief. At least, I've seen it fine and it's enough to overcome my anxiety.
If everything Haikal says is the truth, I'm the most important person in Lisa's life. Then I can't prevent it. That's Lisa's right, because I think she's forgotten everything. But the truth is not.
I could not feel my footsteps had taken me to the front of the ICCU room, where Tika was treated. I slowly pushed the door and went inside. I went straight to the room where Tika was at the very end. Right in front of the nurses' desk.
I was surprised to see him alone. Lying down while closing her eyes then suddenly opening her eyes, looking at me.
"Just come, Max?" slowly oozed.
I replied with just a slow nod and pulled out the chair to sit down immediately. But Tika clapped her hands on the bed, gesturing for me to sit next to her. I obey.
"I haven't been able to say thank you, you've always protected me. Always keep me in check." Very slowly Tika said the sentence per sentence. Sambi held my hand. I stroked his fingers and smiled at him.
Then I asked her where her husband had gone? It turns out that Jefri is going to his son's incubator room, along with his family. Then suddenly Tika asked me, about Lisa.
"Max, do you know how Lisa is?" smirking again.
"He's doing fine. Same with Alex."
"Oh, great. I think he's why."
I couldn't help but feel my mouth telling my sister this, if Lisa was actually an accident, right at the moment she felt a deep breathlessness yesterday. But for some reason, I still feel there is something strange about all this. With all the things that happened to them both.
I forgot for a moment all the feelings that were troubling my mind at this moment. It's good if I just focus on my family. Alex is going to take care of Lisa.
"Where is your husband?" Since I entered Tika alone without being accompanied by anyone.
"Oh, he's seeing the twins with his family. They came here."
I nodded my head then I also told Tika that mamah left her a greeting.
***
A week later ...
Today Tika is said to be able to go home and remain on an outpatient basis. But not with his son, the twins still have to stay in the hospital because it still requires a series of other treatments.
Not many people invited Tika to come home from the hospital. Because Tika and Jefri themselves have decided to go home on their own. Because they both also want to prepare a room for their twins.
"I want to see the twins?" Tika asked her husband for permission when he was about to move from his bed to a wheelchair.
"Sure, I'll go there first, too." Jeff smiled at his wife.
I helped them bring some stuff that I had put in Jefri's car. Then follow them to the nursery to see the twins who are still in the incubator room.
Both seem to be asleep. Seen from his closed eyes and also their chest that moves up and down. Some tools were also attached to his body. Do not forget the oxygen hose that threatens the two nostrils of the twins.
We saw all of that from outside the room that was clad in thick glass walls.
"You guys want to go home?" haikal's greeting appeared suddenly beside Tika's wheelchair.
Hearing the words that Haikal said made my heart full. It was like a farewell sentence. I patted Haikal on the shoulder and told him to look after the twins and do his job. Haikal just nodded slowly.
Then Haikal also offers Tika so she can go inside the room to touch the twins and of course Tika wants that. Haikal then took over Jefri's duties and pushed the wheelchair that Tika impatiently wanted to touch her son.
Me and Jefri are just waiting here.
βββββ
Tika POVs.
Haikal pushed the wheelchair I was wearing into the incubator room, so I could touch my son directly. Yes, I did use a wheelchair, not because I could not walk, but so that I could recover faster from injuries and other surgery.
The state of the gunshot wound on my chest had also slowly started to gradually improve. Even the blood that used to come out, seeped from there, now no longer happened. It's just that I can't get a shock that's too loud first for a while.
Haikal and I got to the door of the incubator room, a nurse helped me to put on a special upholstery before entering the room. When he was ready, Haikal pushed me through the door of the room.
The crying voice of one of my children was so loud. I don't know why he was crying. My heart was filled with the sound of her crying. Then Haikal also allowed me to carry them one by one.
This is good if you have a brother who is responsible for the entire state of the hospital.
The baby boy is already in my arms. He who had been crying, had now started to calm down. I put her to bed and kissed her before I finally got back to the nurse. Likewise, the baby girl who had fallen asleep when the nurse lifted her up and gave it to me. Either her tiny face always makes me shed tears.
Haikal grabbed my shoulder, I kissed the little guy's forehead again and gave it back to the nurse. After that Haikal brought me out of the room.
"When can I take them home?" I asked after I got out of the incubator room.
Haikal looked at me, then put his hand over my head and stroked it. "Quickly, pray for it."
"Can I come here every day?" my door.
"You better get home rest. Every day, as long as the twins are here, I'll send them the video."
Haikal pushed back on my wheelchair after before, I took off my special shirt. Jefri and Max were waiting for me at the other door. We walked to the hospital lobby together.
Jefri stepped in first to pick up his car and take it to the front of the lobby to get closer.
"Enough rest at home? Don't walk." Max told me.
"Kal, will the marks be lost?" I'm worried about the scars and the surgery that's on my body right now.
"It's gone but it takes time."
I let out a sigh of relief.
***
Arriving at home it turns out there are mamah, Shilla and also bi Mince.
"I want to walk alone, slowly," I asked Jefri, he did not forbid me, instead helping me to do it.
Patiently he grabbed me until we finally reached my room, after I had climbed the stairs so slowly.
"Let bi Mince be here and help you? Mama also talked to your mother-in-law." Mamah suggested that bi Mince temporarily stay at our house. To help me in taking care of the kitchen and home.
"Lagian mamah is also staying at Max's house, there is Shilla also there, jd is okay," added mamah again.
Today I really feel tired, not because I move a lot. Except for my own mind. My brain is too tired. Even many times I have exhaled my breath to reduce the discomfort I felt, since leaving the hospital.
Soon Mom and Shilla say goodbye to go home. Let me get back to rest. Judging by the two globes of my mama's eyes as she peed at my forehead, I could see that she was worried about me, just that she was trying to stay still.
Until finally they both went missing behind the stairs, then Jefri who also went down to deliver to the front of the house.
I look around me. The bedroom that I had been in for almost two months was not occupied. I miss this room. A flash of my mind floated, replaying itself scene after scene that happened while I was trying to save Lisa, all as if so real.
Even when Jefri came back to me, and sat beside me on the bed. Instantly my tears fell again, dividing both my cheeks.
Jefri also told me about the miracle I experienced. About my two children who really floated because of my carelessness. And if I remember all that, I always feel emotional.
Feeling guilty about yourself. How could I not think of my two hearts? Almost because of me, I lost two little angels that I always looked forward to.
"Sleep, I'll be at the office for a second, yeah, there's something to sign." Jefri asked my permission and kissed my forehead.
I just returned the kiss with my two increasingly sleepy eyeballs. Then fall asleep, close your eyes.
***
Suddenly I blinked my eyes, jolted from the dream that came to me in my sleep. A recurring dream I try to forget. But always present, the stronger I try to remove it, then the more often the dream is present.
When I turned my body around how surprised I was to find Bi Mince who was apparently sitting on a single sofa in the corner of my room. He was reading one of my novels. Then I was surprised when I saw him come out of my sleep.
He came straight to me, and helped me to get up and sit on the head of the bed.
"Bi, Jefri hasn't come home yet?" ask me between my seats.
"Yet, Non. Auntie stay in the kitchen for a while, Non. It's time to eat, let bibj cook first. Aunty wanted to leave it not good."
I nodded as bi Mince asked for permission to cook immediately. Prepare dinner. I glanced at the wall clock hanging over the television. It's six in the afternoon.
I slowly turned my head, grabbing the glass of water that was on the nightstand beside my bed. Then drink it until half is left.
My body still feels sore, even my two eyes still feel endless sleepiness. It's too heavy to hold my eyelids back to sleep.
I try to stand alone. Slowly lower my legs from the bed. Then try hard to stand up, approaching a bag lying on the table next to the bedroom door. Look for thin objects that are one of the most important objects for humans today, namely mobile phones.
But in fact nil. I didn't find my phone there. I checked some bags but still the results were not there.
Then by going through the dinging, I tried to sit back on the bed. Forgetting my phone for a moment by turning on the television channel. But it remains the same. My mind remained in a state of turmoil and I didn't know what made my heart feel uneasy like this. My eyelids are also no longer able to compromise, which makes me more sleepy.
βββββ
Jefri POV's.
Arriving at the office, I signed some files that I had originally read and returned to the HRD leader in my office.
Tokk tokk!
Suddenly the door to my room was knocked back. I turned my eyes to the doorway, it turned out that Mr. Hardi was already standing there. I invited him to come in. Then my eyes focused on my laptop screen.
"Excuse me. How's his wife?"
"Good, Sir. Please sit down." I invited him to sit in the front seat of my desk.
"What's up, sir?" I was a little disturbed by his presence.
"This, I'm not good. I told you a while ago that you needed a secretary. Well, I've got it and he always asks when he can start working."
I scrunched my eyebrows. I am not a pandau in hiding the expression or feeling that I feel. What else in the situation like now.
"Well, didn't I say I didn't need it?" I had expected this before, surely he had come to see me just to urge me to accept a secretary.
"But I'veβ"
"Sir, how many times do I have to say? If I need it, I can find it myself. After all, why accept new employees, if a few months ago I even laid off many employees?" I started to get emotional again.
I don't know why Mr. Hardi has indeed begun to dare to exceed the limits of my current position. I appreciate her hard work all this time, but this is not the way.
"This is the last time I tell you, don't talk about secretaries anymore with me. There's still a lot I have to do. And is not the work of the father is also still a lot of unfinished? I haven't received any reports about the project at Pandan Arum's school." I took a breath after saying that.
The look in my eyes was deliberately directed at him who now lowered his face. I don't know what the background of the woman proposed by Mr. Hardi, so he dared to discuss this matter many times to me. I urged him to accept the secretary.
"I'm sorry, sir, if there's nothing more to talk about, you can continue your reporting duties and send it to my email immediately. I'll wait as soon as possible." I looked back at the glass screen of my laptop, no longer did I stare at the look on the face of Mr. Hardi who turned around and immediately came out of my room.
I don't think time has passed so quickly. When I saw the wall clock was showing at six in the afternoon. When a middle-aged man who works as an office boy in my office accidentally walks into my room and is shocked to see me who is still inside.
"I'm sorry, sir, I think you're home. So I just play right in. Again sorry, sir!" he panicked and lowered his head.
I was surprised to see that the father was already in my room, also became unpleasant. "It's okay, sir. I also want to go home. Please just clean it up." I pressed the power button on my laptop to turn it off immediately. I'm ending my work today. After a long time I did not go to the office.
After I cleaned my desk and brought my laptop home, I said goodbye to the middle-aged man who became the office boy. Then immediately leave him, so as not to interfere with how it works.
I just opened the car door and suddenly my phone rang.
πΆ
Can't we just talk?
Can't we just talk?
Talk about where we're goin'
Before we get lost
Let me out first
Can't get what we want without knowin'
I've never felt like this before
I apologize if I'm movin' too far
Can't we just talk?
Can't we just talk?
Figure out where we're growingin'
πΆ
I let my phone ring while I put my laptoo bag and some documents into the back seat. After that, I reached into my pants pocket to see who was calling me.
Max's name came up on my phone screen, I was thinking, what else is Max calling me? Do you want to ask her sister?
Immediately I brushed off the thought, then shifted the green button on the screen using my thumb. "Hallo?"
"When you're asleep, Jeff?" ask Max suddenly.
"I'm in the office again. He's at the same house bi Mince. But this is going back home anyway," I replied as if.
"It just so happens that I'll talk to you both. Can't do that?"
I thought for a moment, "Okay, I can. Where's where?"
"I'll get to his place soon. I'll share the location."
"okay." I disconnected the phone and got into the car. Sit behind the steering wheel. Waiting for Max to send us the place where we'll meet.
After I got the address of the location that was the meeting point for the two of us, I immediately started the car engine. Then go straight to that place.
As soon as from a distance I found the place where the restaurant was meant to be, I immediately turned the steering wheel and parked my car. Then walked into the place, looking for the figure of Max who was sitting in one corner of the table. Waiting for me.
I approached him immediately and greeted him. "Hey, sorry long."
"It's ok. Just take a pesen."
"Em, I'm drinking. I want to eat at home with Tika," I refused subtly then called one of the waiters at the place and ordered a cup of black coffee.
"What's up, Max?" I can't wait to hear what he's talking to me about. Even along the way to this place alone, my mind floated, thinking of the various possible bad news that he would convey.
"Dana ran away the day after Tika gave birth." Max steadily uttered the sentence after he had previously inhaled so much oxygen.
DEG!!
My heart was beating fast! I widened my eyes to look at him. My breath was cut off hearing this news. I don't know what I should say.
I raised both my hands, put my elbows on the table and then squeezed my hair so tightly. My mind was in a moment's wrath.
"But the other guy I've beenβ" said Max disconnected, making me suddenly look back up my head looking at him.
"What's Max doing?" lirihku slowly.
Max turned to the right side and to our left side. Look around and slightly move his body. "I killed him" he whispered almost inaudibly in my ear. But from the movement of his lips I understood what he was saying.
The sharp look from Max's eyes made me feel even more intimidated. The more oxygen I inhale and the harder my breath becomes for me to exhale. The heart that kept racing became one of the reasons I breathed through my mouth.
I never thought I would have to kill someone. Because I was thinking of just putting them in jail. But Max took a shortcut.
"Everything has nothing to do with you. It's purely my decision."
I covered my mouth with my palm. The hot air immediately enveloped me. Cold sweat appeared all over my body. I really can't say anything anymore.
"Jef, I'm just asking you to persuade Tika to return to Mamah's house. Because my mom and my family would also recommend staying there. Can't do? Not until I catch Dana."
Again I thought, it is not easy if suddenly I change my own decision and asked Tika to return to the house mama.
"Once my son gets out of the hospital, I can take Tika back there. There will be many reasons. But now, I can't."
"It's ok, Jeff. It's okay."
***
At exactly half-eight in the evening I reached my front yard. I didn't get out of the car. But it was fun to look at the house that I built with Tika.
Actually I didn't expect that it would be like this now. I have to fight, work hard for my own company. So that I can protect my own family without having to involve anyone else.
It's not that I'm not happy, it's just that I feel weak and meaningless as a husband. If I can't protect my little family. Now then, what should I do?
After a long time I stayed in the car, I finally decided to go into the house immediately, because of the state of my stomach that can no longer be compromised. Several times the sound of worms who protested asking for food.
"But malem really came home?" greet Tika who is already sitting on the dining table chair.
"Why not eat first?" tanyaku who saw some dishes still neat untouched at all.
"I want to eat together" she said to me. I chuckled while putting my laptop and some documents on the dining table.
"Well, where's Mince? We eat together." I peeked at the top of his head.
