Two Rings

Black Cloud

Melati still drooped limp on her bed, crying made her strength drain.

He was waiting for the arrival of his parents, it felt he could not bear to express all that became his pain.

Several times, Melati tried to contact her mother. However, his phone call was not connected once.

"Mom and Dad should have come" muttered Melati.

He was about to get out of bed, but his steps were stopped by the sound of his cell phone.

Melati immediately grabbed her phone, her forehead shriveled when she saw the incoming call from an unfamiliar number.

"Hello, who is this?" Ask Jasmine politely.

"Good day, Mom. I from hospital X want to inform you that there is a family mother who had an accident and is now getting help in the ER room," said the caller over there.

The deg!

Melati's heart was again stuck in a sharp dagger, without scaring the information giver, Melati immediately ran and intended to go to the hospital in question.

"God, what else is this? What are you planning for me" Melati's heart ached so much, she had to stand strong and make sure what was really going on.

"Non, where are you going?" Bi Ai asked, as she passed by her master.

Melati did not answer, so hasty steps. His tears were unceasingly flowing, as much as he could to dispel bad thoughts about his parents.

Melati opened the door of her house, and her steps were restrained, staring at the figure standing before her at this moment.

Melati melengos, passing Dion who keeps blocking his way.

"Where are you going?" Dion asked as he held his wife's arm.

Melati did not look back, she just brushed off her husband's hand.

"It's none of your business!" Sahut Jasmine.

Melati stepped back, but again Dion blocked her.

"Mel, listen to Mas. I can explain everything, '" said Dion.

"Don't stop me! I have to go, Mas. And one more thing, I don't need any more explanation from you! Everything is enough for me!" Jasmine Exclamations.

Dion is still struggling to get in the way of Melati, he does not want to miss the opportunity to explain everything to Melati.

Melati was upset, she had to rush to the hospital, but was blocked by her husband.

"Mas, I said step aside! I have to go," Melati snapped.

Dion looked at Melati, "where are you going?" Ask Dion.

"I have to go to the hospital! The hospital called me that my family had an accident, and I had to confirm the truth!" Answer Melati.

Dion was surprised, "what? Then take you to the hospital!" Fresh Dion.

"No need! I can do it myself" Melati refused.

Dion insisted that he force his wife into the car and quickly entered.

"Mas! I said I could go alone!" Jasmine again.

Dion did not answer, instead he locked the car door and immediately drove his vehicle.

"Show me the way to the hospital!" Dion.

Melati did not reply, she had to endure her anger at this moment. What he was currently thinking was the truth about the news coming to him, he had to make sure that it was not his parents.

***

At Anna's mother's house, Rissa could only sit in the doldrums.

He was taking care of his mother-in-law who had just died, Rissa still did not know what to do at this time.

"Sa, where are Dion and Melati?" Ask Anna's mother in a weak tone.

Rissa helped her mother-in-law to sit down, and she leaned her on the back of the sofa.

"Mas Dion is meeting with Madam Melati, Mom. He wants to explain everything" replied Rissa.

Anna's mother fell silent, she looked at her daughter-in-law with a glare.

"Sa, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, because of Mom, you have to endure all this." Anna's mother caressed her daughter-in-law's face, she felt sorry for Rissa having to accept Melati's rude attitude towards her earlier.

"Mom, don't apologize. It's time for everything to come out, ma'am. I have also prepared myself from the beginning, and I also accept whatever the attitude of Mbak Melati. I'm ashamed, Mom..."

Rissa was down, she held back her tears so as not to get any heavier.

"Mom, I've decided. I'm going to back off" said Rissa.

Anna's mother was surprised, she didn't want that from Rissa at all.

"Retreat? What do you mean talk like that, Sa? I don't want you to go" said Anna's mother.

Rissa begged her mother-in-law, she wouldn't be able to continue this.

"Mom, I've asked Mas Dion. I'll ask for a divorce, when my baby is born, and it's 6 months old. At least my baby must get exclusive breast milk first, after that I can be a little calm if I have to leave it with Mas Dion and also Mbak Melati," said Rissa with a heavy heart.

Anna's mother shook her head firmly, "no, I don't want you to go anyway. I want you to be Dion's wife!" Excited Anna's Mother.

Rissa is not struggling, this is not the right time to discuss this with her mother-in-law. Rissa chose silence, and calmed her heart as well as her mind.

***

At the hospital, Melati headed for the ER with half a run.

He could not wait to see his family, so surprised he found someone sitting next to the emergency room.

"Dad..."

Melati hunted the father, then hugged him tightly.

"Dad, why is this? What the hell is going on?" Ask Melati.

Melati's father could only cry, he hugged the child with a sad feeling.

"All... It all happened so fast. It was raining heavily when we were going to your house, Mother asked the driver to increase the speed of the car. In the middle of the journey, somehow the story suddenly there was a fallen tree. The trunk is large, and it's overriding right above the position where Mom's sitting."

Melati's father tried hard to explain his chronology to the child, although in him, he was still traumatized by the incident.

While crying, he was crying. Dion, who was right next to him, tried to calm his wife. But again refusing, she pushed strongly on her husband's body.

Melati's father who saw the incident, suddenly wondered about what happened to the child and his daughter-in-law.

"But, is Dad okay?" Melati asked while checking her father's body condition.

Melati's father nodded, "Dad and Mr. Driver only received minor injuries" he replied.

Melati was grateful, at least she felt a little relieved. And now, he just waited for the results of the examination of the mother.

Almost half an hour Melati and the others waited in front of the ER room, they waited anxiously.

And there came out two Doctors who dealt with Mother Jasmine, they put on a tired and lethargic face.

"Dok, how's my wife doing?" Ask Dad Melati.

"Yes, Doc. How's my mother doing?" Melati asked.

The two Doctors exchanged glances, and they also sighed heavily.

"I'm sorry, Ma'am, sir, we've tried our hardest. But God wants something else." One of the doctors answered.

Melati and her father fell silent, as did Dion and the driver. They were digesting the answers given by the Doctor, and they were also dissolving in their minds.

"What do you mean Doctor? So Mother..." Melati's voice stopped.

"Sorry, Ma'am, sir, the patient is not helped." The doctor explained everything.

Melati fell silent, Melati's father who had been trying hard, now could no longer hold her body. He collapsed, and was also unconscious.

Melati could not do much, two bad kabafr he got simultaneously, and on the same day.

Dion, who was helped by his family-in-law's driver to resuscitate Melati's father, also tried to appease his wife.

"Don't touch me!" Jerky Jasmine.

Dion was surprised, he took off his hand on his wife's body.

"It's all because of you! If only you hadn't done that evil thing to me, maybe I wouldn't have experienced this! Now you're satisfied, Mom? Are you satisfied that you ruined my life? Satisfied you!" Melati's voice was so high, she vented all her emotions along with a bitter cry.

Dion couldn't speak, today's events he never imagined. His heart was broken, seeing his wife crying hysterically.

"I'm sorry, Mel. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ruin your life, I didn't want any of this to happen."

Inner Dion was so tormented, his tears finally slid down.

"Mothers... Don't leave me, Mom. Please don't leave me. I need you, Mom. Lord... Give me back my mother, give her back God..." Turtle screams continued Melati uttered, he roared crying so badly.

Black fog enveloped life Melati that day, she had to accept two grievous realities at once. She had to accept the fact that her husband had betrayed her, and she also had to accept that God took someone very precious in her life. Even for forever.
