Truly Love

The Death of Mother Dea

Elsa came out of the hospital toilet to change her clothes and clean herself. After that he hurriedly returned and now he had seen the doctor who dealt with the Eagle. Elsa really hopes the Eagle is okay.

"Doctor, how's our son doing?"

"Your son is still in critical time. We'll wait until tomorrow, if we're still unconscious, we'll have to have surgery because there's probably a little bleeding in the brain."

The doctor's words were so ringing in Elsa's ears. He was afraid, the Eagle could not get through his critical period.

"May I meet the Eagle."

"Maybe, there are no more than two people."

Elsa was able to pick. He hesitated to see the Eagle. He was so heartless that he had to look at the helpless Eagle. Until the two Eagle elders came out, Elsa was still staring blankly and standing by the side of the door.

"Elsa, you're the Eagle. He definitely wants you to be the cool one," asked Bu Dian when he saw Elsa hesitating.

"Hmm, Elsa can't afford to see the Eagle aunt."

"Udah, no papa. The eagle must have been smart if you were next to him. You're in yeah."

Finally Elsa obeyed the words of Bu Dian. He slowly stepped his foot into the Eagle's room. "Elang," Elsa shut her mouth after seeing the Eagle's state with a bandage head and breathing apparatus attached to her nose and an infusion needle attached to her hand. "Elang, I'm sorry." Elsa sat on the chair next to the Eagle's bed. He looked at the entire body of the Eagle that was not moving at all. "Lang, get up. Don't keep quiet gini, you're usually nosy about me." Elsa's tears couldn't stop. He held the Eagle's hand and rubbed it. "Lang, I love you..."

...***...

Dea now only stared at the mound of land studded with flowers while holding a gravestone bearing her mother's name.

"Dea, that. Let's go home," take Om Dirga but only in the back of the deck from Dea.

Fandi is now crouching beside Dea. During the funeral process Fandi continues to help Dea. "Gue know, you don't want to leave your own mother here. I used to do the same thing as you. But you have to be sure, this is God's destiny. Maybe this is the best way for your mom."

As if not hearing Fandi's words but actually Dea heard. She wiped her tears and looked at Fandi. There's one thing he has to finish. "I'm going to the hospital now."

"Lo want to see the Eagle?"

Dea fell silent.

"Lo don't see your guests at home first? You need a break too."

Dea shakes. "If you don't want antherin, let me go to the hospital myself."

"Gue is not possible to bring your own motorbike with a gini-like condition. Come on!" Fandi stood up and extended his hand to Dea to help her stand up.

Staring at that hand for a moment and then grabbing it. Dea was feeling weak and her legs were tingling. Never imagined by Dea, it was Fandi who was in the moment he slumped at this time.

"Sa, you're looking for Dea." Bu Dian said quietly as he told Elsa who was still sitting near the Eagle.

Just nod and then he stands up. After exiting the door, Elsa sees Dea along with Fandi. Elsa approached him and sat down beside Dea. Fandi was so sensitive, he stood up and got permission to see the Eagle.

"Gue mourns the passing of your mother. Sorry, I haven't been able to go to your house."Elsa started the conversation while just staying alone.

"Sir papa. I'm actually here to give this." Dea gave the bracelet with the initials E&E which Eagle wasted that time. "This bracelet should be given to the Eagle for a long time. But because the Eagle is hurting the same way, he threw this bracelet away and I took it because I'm sure the Eagle didn't really throw this away."

Elsa clasped the bracelet and looked at him. He used to look for bracelets like that. Elsa now started crying again, why would she waste her time with the Eagle and just let her down.

"Elang is just love. I could probably replace you in the Eagle's heart. Make an Eagle, you're everything. To take care of you, he doesn't care about himself. You have to love the Eagle like he loves you. Make him happy. The happy laugh of the Eagle is only there when he is with you."

Elsa nodded then she hugged Dea. "Thank you for making me aware of my feelings. And I'm sorry because of me, you're the same Eagle so..."

"Udah is not papa." Dea cut off the word Elsa. "From the beginning I also knew the feeling of the Eagle only for you."

Elsa let go of his embrace and wiped away her tears. "Do you want to see an eagle?"

Dea fell silent. Actually he wanted to see the state of the Eagle but he did not have the heart. "Elang is conscious?"

Elsa shaking.

"Udah no papa, you come in. There's only Fandi inside."

Dea nodded then went inside. Sick, seeing a helpless Eagle like this. Slowly Dea walked closer. Fandi turned towards Dea. He stood up so Dea could sit down.

"Lo don't go out," stop Dea when Fandi's going out. He was afraid that he would carry his feelings more deeply if alone.

"But..." Fandi stopped his steps and turned back.

Dea just shook her head. Then he looked at the eagle. All the memories were like re-spinning in his brain. "Elang lo must be strong, there is Elsa who is waiting for you. Your happiness is in front of your eyes. Lo quickly regained consciousness, Lang," Dea said in tears. "Lo would at least want to see Elsa sad. Make him smile again." And still no response at all from the Eagle.

"Dea," Fandi rubbed Dea's shoulders to strengthen her. Sadness is like coming toward Dea. "There will be no sacrifice in vain."

Dea just nodded. If only the Eagle had not been in an accident maybe this story was over and the Eagle could finally be happy with Elsa.

"Gue was sure the Eagle could get through this. The eagle was strong, he could not easily give up. There's a lot he's protecting, even I've been his rival."

"Yes, I know." Dea grabbed the Eagle's hand and grasped it with a bitter smile. "This hand won't hold my hand anymore. Thanks Eagle. Get well soon." Dea let go of the Eagle's hand slowly then she stood up. His vision was blurry and his body felt so limp. He held his head and seemed to be fainting.

"Dea," Fandi immediately embraced Dea and swept her out of the Eagle room and immediately sat in the front seat.

"Dea why?" asked Elsa who looked at Dea like she was half unconscious.

"He had more thoughts and with conditions that are not fit to be down gini."

Dea regained consciousness again and she confirmed her seat and took off Fandi's hand which was holding her body.

"Dea, you haven't eaten yet?"

Dea shakes. Well, from morning he did not***** dine.

"Dea, you have to eat if you don't want your body down. We're eating yuk now."

"Make what? Now no one is worried about me either."

Elsa looked at them for a moment and then entered the Eagle's room again. It seems like Fandi can indeed calm Dea down.

"If you don't want to eat, I'll have the doctor make an infusion of lo."

"Gue's not very sick. I wouldn't die just from not eating." Dea folded her hands with a straight forward look.

Fandi could only stare at Dea from the side. He felt pity. He finally found another way.  "Okay, if you don't want to eat. You feel like no one really cares about you so it's better to go home." Fandi stands.

Dea is still chuckling. "Lo just go home. I can go home by myself." And unfortunately, this time it feels Dea no longer have the energy to walk. He covered it all with his ego.

Finally Fandi stepped away and left Dea. Dea looked at Fandi's back that was away. Who am I? You shouldn't care about me either.

Dea was still gathering his strength for a while. He was still daydreaming even though his tears had now receded. Shortly after, Fandi returned and sat down next to Dea. Dea turned her head and looked at Fandi strangely. "Why did you go back?"

"Gue's not coming home, I'm just buying this for you." Fandi now has a bottle of pocari sweat and a rice box. Dea just stared as Fandi thrust it for her. "This makes you." Fandi opens the bottle cap and thrusts again at Dea. "Lo's the one who said, you now live alone so you have to take care of yourself."

Dea finally took the drink and drank it. He understood Fandi's words.

"Now you eat, we go home. There must be a lot of guests looking for you."

Dea nodded and picked up the food that Fandi had also opened.

"Lo why is it good with me?" ask Dea before you eat.

"Because our fate is the same."

"Yes? You still have a bokap and you're rich. Same with me."

"Well, if I want to help someone else why there must be a reason."

The simple and mature answer from Fandi makes Dea feel a little better. Though actually the sense of loss will never be lost...
