When That Sense Is Present

28.Where are you Anty? said miss.

Nani comes with a panicked face facing Alif, the woman is frightened because Antyka he did not find. Alif was already uncomfortable when Antyka asked for permission to get out of the apartment on her own. If only his feet could walk like they used to. Alif must have run.

"Why did you leave Antyka?" alif intonation is rising.

"Bu Antyka asked me to buy you a drink, sir" Nani could only bow. Alif grunting

" Take me out of this apartment. Let's find Antyka by the way. Hurry...!" alif's anger is overflowing.

"Ba ..baik sir" said Nani terbata. Then Nani pushes Alif out of the apartment.

Alif no longer cares about the pain he feels. In his mind there was only Antyka's safety. Until noon Alif and Nani look for Antyka. Nihil, he can't find Antyka.

Alif was frustrated. He was very worried about Antyka. All bad thoughts flashed, imagined Antyka was injured, kidnapped, or persecuted. The shadow tormented Alif. Alif yelled at him. Feeling guilty and unable to protect Antyka. He was like a stupid loser. Alif drove his own wheelchair violently until he fell out of the wheelchair.

"Mr Alif ..." Nani screams in confusion as Alif falls over

"Where are you Anty?" said Alif who was still lying below. His heart was broken.

"dr Alif." a woman approached Alif with a run.

"dr Farah is that you?"

"Come, help me lift Dr. Alif" Farah told Nani. "We go home, Dr. Alif must get treatment "

"I don't want to go home, I have to find Antyka" Alif insisted on not being treated.

"doctors need to be treated, about Antyka I'll help find her"

Alif endured the excruciating pain. Eyes closed. Farah and Nani try as slow as possible to push Alif.

"Please get me some warm water in the basin !" farah orders Nani when they are already inside the apartment

Farah painstakingly cleaned Alif's dirty feet from the fall. Then with the help of Nani, Dr. Farah laid Alif on his bed.

"Dr Alif take it easy, I promised to find Antyka. Now the most important thing is that Dr. Alif rest. I'm going to get a painkiller so Dr. Alif can rest"

Dr. Farah took the medicine from inside her bag. Opening spuit and installing needle. Then inject fluid that can make Alif pain subside.

The woman gave him a blanket, then sat down on the bed. Staring at Dr. Alif who had begun to calm down because of the effects of the drug he had just injected

Farah seemed more free to scan the room that Alif occupied. The proud man was now helpless. Farah had been holding on to feelings for a long time. But always the rejection he got. Farah is still patient because Alif has never been seen close to any woman.

But without her guessing, suddenly the news of Alif's marriage spread. Farah was devastated, every way she tried. Farah believes she loves Alif the most. Farah becomes obsessed when she learns that Alif is the son of a wealthy conglomerate named Haris Pradipta.

It didn't feel like Farah was in Alif's room for so long. Until Nani's screams are heard. Antyka's home. Farah came out of Alif's room. And Farah got the reaction she wanted from Antyka..

***

Antyka went into the room. He saw Alif sleeping. Nani has told all the events that Alif experienced. Feelings of regret and guilt in Antyka's heart.

" Mr. Alif, forgive Anty" Antyka said. His hand rubbed Alif's face. A kiss on Alif's forehead he landed full of taste and deep, making a sense of comfort and opium for Antyka

" Antyka..., are you okay ?'' Alif woke up when he felt warm on his forehead.

" I'm sorry Mr. Alif, Anty passed out and then helped people"

"Fainting...?"Alif was shocked and woke up from his sleep. But the pain from the fall was still very strong. Grimacing alif resisting pain and urination to wake up. His body remains lying.

"Anty, Mike's gonna pick you up tomorrow. I don't want this to happen again. Stay in Jakarta. Don't wait for me here. Wait for me to come home" Alif said firmly

" But Mr. Alif, Anty.." Antyka's speech was cut off. With the screams of Alif.

"You don't know how anxious I am here Antyka. I've been guessing that doesn't happen to you. Please understand my feelings, I'm tormented with this fucking leg. I failed to protect you here. This kind of feeling torments me Antyka"

"Sorry" Antyka lowered her head while shedding tears.

"Sleep here" Alif asked Antyka to sleep by his side. Alif saw Antyka who did not resist and was downcast feeling increasingly ill. Maybe his words hurt Antika. Alif was also injured.

Antyka was sleeping on Alif's side, she felt very guilty. Especially if you think about Alif to the point of falling. Antyka tilted her body hiding her face on the side of Alif's body while sobbing and continued to apologize.

"It's Anty, I'm not angry. I was just worried and scared. If you're really missing" Tangis Antyka really made Alif turn upside down.

After a while, Isak Antyka died down. The two were silent to each other's feelings.

" Tomorrow brother Mike comes to pick you up. Come home, I'll try to heal. The right school is done quickly. Don't think about me. There's someone Mike's gonna take care of. I'm also sorry Anty yelled at you earlier" Alif said slowly after their feelings subsided.

Antyka can only give up. He is well aware of its existence actually makes Alif's condition not good.

"Anty can still call" Antyka said amid her disappointment.

"Yes, I'll call you every night"

"Promise..? " Antyka's eyes are already glazed. "Sir Alif, don't let Dr. Farah in this apartment. Anty doesn't like it"

"Yes, I didn't invite him. Suddenly he came and helped me, Antyka" At first glance a smile rose on Alif's face. How can Antyka still think to be jealous of him, who to move should be helped.

"Thank you, Anty is relieved" Antyka blinked her eyes. To expel the dew that is almost overflowing again. Which wife would be willing to have another woman approach her husband. I don't know if that thought just crossed Antyka's mind. Antyka is not yet an adult. But she was already a wife, her female instincts were working.

***

After arranging all Alif's needs, Mike immediately took Antyka to the airport. All along the way Antyka could only be silent. Mike was busy with his tablet. Antyka stared at the street, it was hard to leave Alif there.

Mike put the tablet down while he was on the plane. The man only occasionally noticed Antyka who was awkward with him. When you are at altitude. Suddenly the quiet Mike, giving Antyka advice.

"Don't be sad, everything's gonna be fine. Forgive Alif, for a man in a situation like Alif is very painful. Men have high egos that women may not understand"

"Yes" said Antyka briefly. Mike smiled at his young brother-in-law. He remembered his own wife at that time. Even Lira was younger than Antyka back then. Mike admits he's a jerk. But it is love that makes him act recklessly.

**

"Mother, forgive Anty" Antyka hugged her tightly. Mommy can only re-rub Antyka's back. Calms Antyka's feelings. She did not want Antyka to cry again. Near them was Mike still standing awkwardly.

"Yes" said the mother looking intently at her daughter-in-law.

Mike then walked to his car. Open the door for mother and Antika. then close it when Antyka and mother have entered the car. The car started moving towards the residence.

Mike held up Atyka's bag and went inside the house. Then he said goodbye to the mother who had sat in the living room with Antyka

"Wait Mike" exclaimed the mother when Mike was about to ask the mother's hand to say goodbye. The man shows actions that reflect a sense of courtesy to the mother, although the mother is always strict.

" Yes mother" Mike waited for the mother to go to the dining table.

"Take this for Lira and the kids" Mother gave Mike a paper bag.

"Thank you" Mike told his mother. Then he crucified and said goodbye to go home. There was a warm feeling in Mike's heart. Although the mother only mentioned the name of Lira and her children, but Mike knew that what was in the paper bag contained Mike's favorite food. Mike smelled the scent .

"You rest first. Later in the night we eat together" said mother to Antyka.

Antyka was already in her room. He threw himself on the bed. His eyes looked at the sky. The feeling was empty, then Antyka opened her phone checking the incoming messages and then replied to them one by one.

**

"Where are you, Anty? Brother wants help. Can you come to my mom's house ? Zeindra can't keep her company, she's on duty, Anty. Kak Luthfi and mba Karin are out of town" Lutfi's voice from there.

" Yes, Anty will go to my mom's house. Anty call mom first yes, brother. Anty asked for Mother's permission"

"If you can call Luthfi again. But if you are not allowed do not force Anty, there is still a Asih who can accompany mama"

" Yes, sister, Anty's gonna call again" Anty hung up. He walked to the parking lot because there the mother's driver had picked him up.

Antyka called my mother asking for permission to stay at my mother's house because there was no one to look after my mother. Mommy understands the condition of mama Ajeng who still need assistance to be more entertained. Mother allows Antyka. But it was only one night.

"Sir, take me to my mother's house. Mother has allowed it"

"None good"

"Ma, Anty's coming" Antyka hugged her mother when she got home

" Mama misses you, Anty. Are you healthy, son? how is Alif's development" mom flocked Antyka with questions.

" Mama.., she asked one" Antyka showed her pouting face. Mom just pinched Antyka's cheek slowly.

Antyka put her head in my mom's lap. He enjoyed being a mommy again. Antyka clasped my mother's fingers and kissed her.

" Anty's fine, ma. just now she's tired."

"Have your face as lethargic"

"Anty straight from campus and here ma"

"Have your permission?"

"It was over the phone"

" Trus Alif how's it going?"

"Sir Alif is only recovering, ma. Ask for his prayer, so that Mr. Alif can quickly walk again. Anty could not bear to see Mr. Alif sitting in a wheelchair. If Anty hadn't called Mr. Alif that night, maybe the accident never happened, would you"

"Anty, it's her destiny. Don't blame yourself. Now this is the most important thing to try and you help with prayer. Remember Anty, don't regret everything that happened, Iklas kiddo"

"Ma, Anty's tired. Anty misses Dad too"

"It can't be like that Anty, you have to be strong. Your fight is long. Rest there in your room. Mama always cleaned your room as usual"

" Ma, can Anty sleep with mama?" Antyka. " Can you, ma?" Antyka sulked again, Mama could only say yes.

" Now sleep in your own room there. I'm sleeping with my mom later tonight"

"In the meantime, Anty still wants to sleep in your mama's lap"

" Hmm spoiled" said the mother as she stroked her daughter's head.

"Ma, you know what ? mother is very dear to Anty. Anty's lucky to have a rich mother-in-law. Anty also shaved born to a beautiful, smart and wise mother"

"Mama also shaved, has Luthfi brother and you in mama's life. You know what, Anty? to your mother is the miracle of your life"

Antyka wakes up from mom's lap. Hugging my mom and kissing her cheeks. Then go to her room to clean up. As soon as he opened the room door Antyka directly stared at the photo on his study table. Photo with Mom and Dad. That moment happy was his. The father who always protected her was also a caring mother. " May you be happy there. Anty promised to be a strong and proud father"

At night before Antyka Already preparing to enter the room of Ajeng's mother.

" You really want to sleep with your mom?" Mama smiled amusedly.

"My mom, seriously dong, ma"

"You're on the pat too ?" mama still teases Antyka.

" May ma, miss"

" Geez Anty, it's you" Ajeng's mother became anxious herself with her daughter.

That night Ajeng's mother reminisced with Antyka. How the love story of Mom and Dad began. Antyka has always been fascinated with the harmony of Father and mother. The Antyka know they always love each other.

There's a story Antyka just found out. It turns out mom and dad have also been through something painful. But fate brought them back together again, united until death that separated them again. Antyka knows the love of Mom and Dad is amazing.

"I'm sorry ma, Anty so make mama sad again" Antyka rubbed a clear circle that flows on the cheeks of mama.

" It's Anty you're sleeping, let me pat your ass" Mama tried to smile back. Dad is gone. But in front of him was Antyka. The most beautiful gift he had with prof Damar. In his prostration mama Ajeng always pray, May later be together in Jannah.

Antyka asleep with mom's swipe. Until he forgot there was an appointment with Alif to exchange news. The phone inside Antyka's bag kept ringing. Alif was there repeatedly trying to contact Antyka. But Antyka did not answer him ......."Where are you Anty, she says she misses?" lirih Alif in her frustration.
