The Story of Dara

CHAPTER 93. Grief

"No papa sir..I am not papa..," said Dara trying to stand up straight wiping her tears violently before folding back the test results of her husband who had just opened.

"Is there a problem with the test results?" nathan asked curiously.

Dara shook her head, trying to put the folds of paper into her envelope back with her trembling hands.

Nathan was silent, hesitant about Dara's answer, but there was no courage to ask any deeper questions.

"You sit down first, I'll get you a drink." Nathan said before stepping into the fridge to pick up the cold drink inside.

Dara took a deep breath before exhaling slowly, trying to control her feelings to stay stable.

"Should I tell Mas Erfan everything? but I'm scared, I'm so scared to see him get hurt." Inner Dara looked at her husband who looked calm in his sleep before raising her head upwards trying to hold back her tear from falling back.

"Drink first Ra," Nathan said, giving him a bottle of water.

"Thank you sir" said Dara, taking over the water bottle from Nathan's hand before stepping her limp legs to sit on the couch, followed by Nathan, who would sit nearby.

"Is everything really okay, Ra? you can tell me,"

"Yes sir, everything is fine" Dara replied trying to open the bottle cap.

"Why can't he" murmured Dara softly with her flowing tears.

"What's the matter exactly? are the test results bad?" Nathan asked inwardly before taking over the bottle that Dara had in hand, and helping to unscrew the bottle.

"You won't be able to unscrew the bottle with hands that tremble like that Ra," Nathan said, returning the bottle to Dara.

"Thank you..," said Dara Lirih taking over the bottle from Nathan's hand.

"I know Mr. Nathan won't believe the fine words I say, how can something good be good enough to make my body tremble like this, my tears also why can not stop anyway," said Dara in his heart after downing his drink.

"Ra..," called Erfan after waking up from his sleep.

Dara immediately wiped her tears, immediately putting her bottle on the table before putting her test results into the bag.

Taking a deep breath and exhaling it slowly looked back at Nathan who was staring at him.

"Yes, yeah..." Said Dara standing up and moving her legs closer to Erfan in the follow with Nathan behind her.

"Mas Erfan is awake? want to drink Mas?" ask Dara before arranging the position of her husband's bed to a sitting position.

"No Ra" Erfan looked at Dara before turning his gaze toward Nathan who was standing beside his bed.

"Have you come, Than?"

Nathan nodded his head slowly, "How are you doing?" ask Nathan.

"It's better, did you get the test results?" Erfan asked extending his hand towards Nathan.

"Sir Nathan has given me the test results, Mas" replied Dara grasping Erfan's outstretched hand, trying to find strength in her husband's hand.

"How did it go? I want to see."

"The results are good, there's nothing to worry about." Dara smiled, looking at her husband.

"Sorry Mas, I was forced to lie, I was confused, I was so afraid of your reaction." Dara said in her heart trying to strengthen herself.

"You crying?" erfan asked as he looked at his wife's reddened eyes.

Dara shook her head slowly, "I don't cry Mas,"

"Is there a problem with the test results?" ask Erfan to investigate.

Dara shook her head slowly with her tears flowing back. "O Allah...What is with these tears? why can't you stop?" Inner Dara Subdues her head.

"Thank you Than" said Erfan staring at the departure of Nathan who was only answered with a nod of his friend's head.

"I want to see Ra's test results, am I in trouble?" erfan looked back at his wife.

Dara straightened her head back, to stare at her husband, "Wait until Mas Erfan recovers huh? you should focus on your recovery first!"

"I want to see now, give it to me now Ra," Erfan said firmly looking at his wife.

Dara took a deep breath before turning around and stepped up to take the test results that were inside her bag.

"This is Mas's test result" said Dara gave the test results to her husband.

Erfan immediately took over the test results from his wife's hand, his once normal heartbeat now started pounding, beating faster because of the fear that started lodging in him.

Erfan opened the envelope on behalf of Mr Erfan Pratama, took a deep breath before pulling out the white paper inside, opening it slowly before reading the writing inside.

"So I'm abnormal?" erfan said softly with his trembling hands still staring at the test results.

"Mas" said Dara Lirih touching her husband's hand.

"It turns out all the trouble is in me Ra?

I can't give you offspring, I'm the problem!" erfan said with the look of his own eyes staring at Dara.

"We just did the test Mas, could have the results wrong right?" said Dara took over the paper from her husband's hand, immediately folded it and placed it on the bed.

"We can do the test again" said Dara trying to strengthen her injured husband.

"For what? to make sure I'm a weak man? a man who doesn't have the ability to make you happy?" erfan said, his tears staring at Dara.

"Mas Erfan is not a weak man," answered Dara gently wiping away her husband's tears as her own tears flowed down her cheeks.

"I beg you not to say it like that Mas, Mas Erfan's ability to make me happy far exceeds my expectations Mas, I am very happy, I am happy Mas," said Dara hugging her husband.

"It's a trial for our marriage Mas, God is testing how big and strong our love is" said Dara stroking her husband's head gently.

"People say I'm a perfect man, even I feel like that Ra, I'm rich, I have everything, I have a beautiful and nice wife like you, she said, but why did God give me flaws that made me feel weak and helpless? the flaws that make everyone question my manners." Erfan broke his cry.

"We just need to find a solution to this problem Mas, we can do herbal medicine or whatever it is, Mas Erfan should not despair huh? we can definitely go through this exam well," said Dara still hugging her husband.

"You know how I feel now, O God? why do I feel this is so unfair to us? why is it that when women out there are not ready for a child you easily leave a child in her womb, but why not me? are you still unable to believe me and Mas Erfan?" said Dara inwardly tightened her embrace.

***

The next day, Erfan was released by the hospital.

The grieving couple had entered the house after getting off the car driven by driver Mr. Subrata.

Cklek Dara opened the door of the room while leading Erfan to walk closer to the bed.

"Slow down Mas" said Dara, helping her husband lie on the bed.

"I'm just cooking, huh?" it's eleven o'clock, Mas Erfan has to take medicine." Dara again confirmed her husband's blanket.

"I don't want to eat Ra, I just want to sleep." Erfan closed his eyes.

Dara stood looking at Erfan with a sad look, "I'm also sad Mas, but I don't feel disappointed with you at all, I already love you very much, I've been very, and because of that love I will accept all your shortcomings." Inner Dara wiped away her dripping tears staring at Erfan before turning around and stepping her feet out of the room.

Seriate.
