Trapped in the Love of the Past
Trapped in the Love of the Past
Eps. 51
I opened my eyes slowly, I looked around the room with whitewashed walls. There's an infusion needle stuck in the back of my hand. I still feel a little dizzy in my head.
I felt someone hold my hand tight. After I looked to the side, I found Rohman sleeping in a sitting position.
I want to wake her up. But this heart is so heartless. If I look at her face, she looks exhausted.
But it turns out that Rohman realized that I was conscious. He woke up and smiled at me. He clasped my hand even tighter. As if not to get away from me.
"Dear, I'm sorry." He said as if very sorry. I'm here a little confused.
"Mas, why are you apologizing?"
"Sorry baby, because of me you've become like this. You must feel pain because of me. I should have picked you up and not left you alone."
"Yes, you are not wrong. This is all Chika's doing. It's not your fault."
"I'm the cause of all this, baby. I'm so sorry, I'm sorry."
"Mas, you're not wrong. There is nothing to forgive. Because it doesn't want you either." Rohman seemed to shed tears. I'm not getting along with him.
"Mas, then what about Chika?" His face turned serious as he was about to tell the story of yesterday.
"Chika miscarried yesterday. But destiny says something else. During the surgery, he breathed his last breath. Chika's dead, baby."
"Innalillahi wainnalillahi. You're serious, Chika died."
"Dear, he's buried."
"Gosh, I didn't expect her age to just get here."
"Now you don't have to be afraid anymore, baby. There's nothing bad about you anymore."
"But, what about Andry?"
"Yes, andry told me everything. He and Rio are under Chika's threat."
"I thought something must be wrong."
"Yes, Andry's sister who is still in school is held captive by Chika. He was threatened to kill his brother if he did not comply. That kidnaps you."
"Oh my God, he's so desperate to do that."
"While Rio was, he was Chika's neighbor who lived a peaceful life. He's an orphan who only lives with his grandmother. He's also under threat from Chika. That would kill her grandmother while she was away at work. Rio finally obeyed Chika's will."
"But will Andry and Rio be imprisoned for their involvement?"
"No, baby, you just calm down. They're all safe."
"Thank God, I hope so too."
"Yes, you rest again, baby. Good thing you and your son are doing well."
"Yes, mas. I'm still traumatized by yesterday's events."
"Not to think about it anymore. Everything's gonna be okay."
"Yes, mas?"
"For a while you stayed at my house."
"No, I'm at the boarding house. What will people say."
"No need to care about people. We will soon be married too. Let me talk to the local RT."
"Yes, it's up to you."
This morning I was allowed to go home. And as agreed yesterday, I'll be staying at Rohman's house for a while. Later if the wedding preparations are finished, I will return to Salatiga until the day H arrives.
I was welcomed by the Rohman family. They all don't mind if I stay here for a while. I am also very happy to be treated like this.
Rere and Andry came to see me. They just came here because of work. I watched Andry who just looked down. He did not dare look at me.
"Thank you Rere, Andry, you guys took the time to see me. I'm sorry I've been troubling you."
"Sorry, I just got here. You see, I took my vacation last week."
"Luck it off, I'm thankful to be here."
"Ehm, Cha. I'm sorry about what happened yesterday. A I was forced to do it because under Chika's threat. And my sister's also in Chika's custody."
"Yes Ndry, I know everything. Let's forget it, like we're okay. Your sister's okay, right?"
"Yes, thank God my sister doesn't why. It's just that he's still a little traumatized."
"Hopefully pass by and return to how it was."
"Yes, amen."
As we were chatting, my brother Rohman came with a drink and a piece of cake. Her name is Mirna, she's still in high school. He was very nice to me too. I even had a conversation when I first came here. The person is very cool and can respond well to the conversation.
"Thank you, Mirna, you're even bothered like this."
"Mbak's only drink, I don't feel bothered anyway."
Mirna smiled, but I could notice that she occasionally glanced at Andry. Andry also had a chance to see Mirna. But I don't mind all that. It was just a coincidence that they looked at each other.
"Oh yes, what about the day after tomorrow? The time is almost near, just let's count the days."
"Mom wants no show ngunduh mantu, baby."
"Ehm, that's it."
"Yes, do you mind?"
"It's up to you, ma'am. If I'm important, then I'm good enough."
"Yes already, later if you are really enjoying us fitting clothes. The invitation is so we just spread it later. Ijab event plans later on Thursday dear the 10th. And for the 13th reception on Sunday. Others such as catering and decoration let the mother and brother determined."
"Yes, I'll follow. I'll call my family to take care of the letter."
"Thank you, baby, you'll take me."
"Yes, same thing."
Mom and Dad joined us sometimes we joked and laughed together. It was so warm to be in the middle of them. Hopefully this will run smoothly without any obstacles. As already has. I don't want that to happen again.
Even I've been trying to bury it in the past. And I hope they won't be present in my life again. I just want to live in peace without any problems.
Because it's cool that we all talk until it doesn't feel like it's noon. Andry and Rere decided to say goodbye. I say a lot of thanks to both of them.
"It's noon, father, mother, Icha and Rohman we're both saying yes."
"I thank you so much again for visiting me. To you Andry, I have absolutely no grudges. You forget what happened yesterday. That's not our will, is it."
"Yes, Cha. I just feel guilty for you."
"That's it, the important thing is that it's over, and we're all safe. What happens let it pass."
"Yes, then I say goodbye. Let's all, Assalamualaikum.
"Getishalight." We all returned Andry's greeting. It feels so relieved. My taste for my best friend has paid off. I've met them both. Because since Jimmy's tragedy, I've met so rarely. Only now can we gather even if only for a moment.
