The present...
"Where is Karina ma?" jo asked after a few days of waking up from his coma.
Farida who was putting the dining place on the table after feeding her son stopped her movement. Farida was speechless, she was at a loss to answer her son's question.
"Then I saw him ma?" jo's words again made Farida more tight in the chest.
Because based on the explanation of the doctor a few days ago after Jo woke up, the doctor advised not to make Jo's mind too heavy to think. And both of Jo's parents were forced to nod their heads in agreement.
They can only do what the doctor says for Jo's recovery. Farida let out a heavy sigh, turning to look at her son's expectant face waiting for the desired answer.
"Carina.ehm...Karin was meeting her parents." Entertain Farida smiled gently at her son who was still looking at her curiously because it was like he could not believe her mother's words. Jo immediately pulled out her blanket to stand up.
"Mama lied, right?" ketus Jo was about to stand up but he immediately staggered holding his head that felt throbbing pain.
Jo endured such intense pain in her head.
"Jo, rest, boy! You haven't healed properly. The doctor says you should take plenty of rest and take regular medication." advises Farida holding Jo down and wiping her back to bed.
Jo also complied because he felt a great pain in his head. Farida helped him with an anxious look on his face staring at his son in pain and he couldn't bear it.
"Karina's parents are dead. How could he possibly meet his parents?" Jo looked at Farida flatly after feeling her head better.
Farida gasped with the words of her son.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to lie" Farida replied at last, she was sitting on the chair next to Jo's bed staring at her expectantly.
"She was with her husband ma, when I found her" said Jo smiling bitterly as she recalled the incident in front of the airport a few months passed but for Jo, she said, it's only been a few days since Jo hasn't believed in her coma.
"Jo... Maybe you're wrong?" amur Farida stroked the arm of her sad-looking son.
Jo shook her head, she wanted what she saw to be wrong, but Jo believed it was Karina's face, though slightly changed and different, Jo couldn't be wrong. She hugs him, holds him but his scent is different but Jo brushes him off believing Karina is his only woman.
"I hugged him ma, I held him. I can't be wrong." replied Jo bitterly.
"If you're completely healed, we'll look for each other, okay?" tawar Farida stroked the back of her son's hand.
Jo turned to look at Farida and nodded in agreement and smiled sweetly. Farida smiled back.

The sound of the door of Jo's treatment room opening, the two turned their heads together staring at the open door.
"How are you doing, son, you're all fucking around? Sorry, I just got back from a business trip." asked Alensio kindly, smiling gently at his son looking strangely at him.
Jo did not answer and looked at Farida questioningly. Farida looked at Jo who asked for an explanation through her eyes.
"Your father has also approved of your relationship. Your father is also trying to find our daughter-in-law" explained Farida again glanced at her husband giving a code.
"Previous papa apologizes for being blinded by treasure because of your matchmaking. Before you finally know all their vices. You should not impose your will." said Alensio with a face full of regret.
"And now it's all free pa, because papa I can't be with Karina. Because papa is now Karina's missing. Is not my wish fulfilled?" sindir Jo with a flushed face held back her anger.
Alensio suffocated to hear his son's statement, all this because of him. So stupid of him just because he wanted a higher status made him blind to everything.
But Jo just kept looking away in the other direction. His heart is still hard to reconcile. He still wants to rearrange it.
***
After more than a month of treatment, Jo was allowed to go home. Farida begs Jo to come home to take care of her. Although Jo repeatedly refused, Jo finally collapsed with the decision of his mother. Farida promised no one would impose his will on her again including her papa if she wanted to do something.
As long as it does not endanger her safety Farida assures her wishes as well as her father's. Although Jo still hasn't talked much to her papa. He was already willing to answer his papa's words even though it was only one word and two words. And his attitude has been able to accept the help of his father even though he still rarely speaks.
"Where are you going, baby?" ask Farida gently when serving breakfast at the table to help the waiter.
Jo flashed in the dining room from the floor of his room above who was already dressed neatly. Half of formal. Jo turned to look at Farida and had a glance at Alensio who was preparing for breakfast at the dining table as well.
"I'll be out for a minute ma." said.
"Breakfast first, son, it's already prepared. Mama cooked your favorite food. You don't want to try?" pinta Farida looked at Jo, who was also staring at her.
Jo stared at the favorite meat soup already prepared at the dinner table. He sat down without saying anything. And ready for breakfast. Farida smiled seeing her son according.
"Where do you want to go? If you may know." asked Farida when she saw that Jo's soup would run out.
"To Karina's house." Jo replied leisurely without burden. Alensio and Farida looked at each other, still not understanding his son's intentions.
Alensio pressed his shoulders without comment because he already knew when the two used to live together.
"I'm leaving, assalamualaikum." said Jo left the dining table with her car.
"Wa'alaikum salam." answered both.
"Do you know anything?" ask Farida to investigate.
"That's how!" answer Alensio stupid time.
"Darling, you know they used to live together. So you've known their relationship since when?" exclaim Farida lodged her protest.
"Since they married siri."
"WHAT?" farida's screams led Alensio to end his breakfast and avoid interrogating his wife, whom he was sure to blame.
"I'm leaving... Assalamualaikum..." Alensio peeked at his wife's gawking at her irresponsible husband about information that was still very interesting to discuss.
"Wa'alaikum hail.. babe wait!" Farida was chasing her husband.
"This morning there is a dear meeting, I must leave immediately." elak Alensio reasoned to peek again his wife's forehead softly.
"But ..."
"Continue later when you get home, baby. Bye.." interrupted Alensio cut off his wife's speech and waved his hands goodbye and got into the car whose driver was ready.
