"Mas, no news yet?" ask Ara to her husband. The woman came to the husband who was in his study.
The operation was carried out yesterday, but news has not been received until today. Actually the woman wanted to contact the aunt first, but Adrian forbade it.
"Not yet, dear." The man pulled the body of the wife to sit on her lap.
"Aren't you worried?" tanya Ara stared fixedly at Adrian who wrapped his arms around the woman's small waist. And Ara replied by draping her arms around the husband's neck.
"Do I look like that?"
"Mass ... I'm serious." Ara shook both shoulders of the husband who then hugged him.
"I'm just like you, baby. But it feels ... Let's just wait, yeah. Maybe Aimi's aunt is still busy taking care of Kio. Don't think of anything, we pray for the best, yeah." The man gently stroked the wife's black mane. The smell of the shampoo coming out of the half-damp hair was tempting his kiss. Unknowingly, the man brought his nose closer to sniff it.
"We call you, huh, Mas? Yes ... I'm impatient, "pinta Ara pushy.
Drrrt ... Drrtts.
Adrian turned his head, looking for the location of his cell phone that sounded. Apparently the flat object was located at the end of his workbench. Since the man's hand could not reach him due to Ara sitting on his lap, the wife offered to take it.
"Let me go" said Ara, his hand sticking out of Adrian's phone. "Tante, Mas." The woman was surprised then eagerly handed it to her husband.
"Yes, Tan," said Adrian, opening the conversation on his phone. The man activated the speaker on his phone.
"Add ... Sorry aunt just announced. Rio ... Kio was in a coma after yesterday's operation ...."
Hygiene ... Shocked and sad to infiltrate in the presence of the two people who got the news. Next, only Aimi's breath was heard which was then accompanied by a soft cry. Ara and Adrian looked at each other, they were both staring at each other.
"Tam ... Patient, yes." Only that speech came out of Adrian's lips. He really doesn't know what to say. It felt like all the stock questions he had prepared from yesterday that he would have asked the aunt evaporated just like that. So too with his lips that seem to lock.
"Auntie ... Kio's brother must be healed. We must believe and pray for it. Maybe now Brother Akio is just tired, he wants to rest longer." Ara said words that hurt herself. Evidently his tears welled up with fingers that gripped tightly the fingers of the husband. He only said those words to strengthen the aunt to cry especially Aimi who was beside Akio at this time.
"Yes ... Aye ... If for example Kio has an error ... Aunt ...."
"Tan ... already!" The couple said simultaneously. Then they look at each other again and with eye code decide if Adrian will answer.
"Akio never offended or hurt us, Tan. If what Auntie meant about the relationship of the three of us ... That ... We sincerely pray for Akio as a brother" said Adrian to calm the aunt. The man never considered Akio as his rival. Especially after he knew Ara's feelings only for him.
"You ... You guys are meant to be together. You guys are fools. Again forgive Kio yes," said Aimi. His words were like regretting something.
"August ..."
"Yes ... Yes sorry. Maybe aunt is in a rage. Really, it feels ... All of this was like a dream and unbelievable. Aunty's afraid, Add ...." A loud cry accompanied Aimi's words that she could not finish.
Furthermore, the couple was just silent listening to the crying of the aunt who was getting louder. The mother of the sick cousin was alone there. Even Aimi had roared did not accept the fate line that must be lived by the son.
Adrian and Ara did not say a word. Maybe Aimi can't get her teeth out in front of her husband and daughter. She pretended to be a strong woman who was full of passion and energy to take care of her son. Who knows if the original Japanese woman kept her heart deep.
Adrian gently rubbed the wife's shoulder, the woman immediately dropped her head on the husband's chest. It felt very poignant and heartbreaking hearing Aimi's cry, as if Akio had left this world.
Almost a quarter of an hour, Aimi cried and then gradually subsided slowly. Heard her long breaths over and over again.
"Addz, Ra. Thank you to both of you who want to listen to the complaints and the overflow of aunt feelings. Here ... we are all so sad, that aunty can not cry in front of you and Shaikha. Aunty just kept on spurring both of them." Silent moment. "Even this is only the first day Kio is in a coma, and we've been complaining like this. Why do we become people who forget to be grateful?"
"Tan, Auntie doesn't forget to be grateful. Anyone who is afflicted with trials that exceed the burden on our shoulders is sure to need a backrest. Auntie was right to share with us. May Aunt always believe in sharing with us even though we can never really give peace or a solution for Auntie." Ara expressed her ability to be the aunty's backup even though only in the form of a story.
"Thank you, honey. Pray for Kio to recover quickly and come back in our midst. Pray we will live all this."
"Sure, Tan. Thanks for letting me know too." Adrian pressed the red button ending their conversation over the phone.
"Mas ... Does a coma mean there's no hope?" asked Ara who was still hugging and leaning her head on her husband's chest.
"Srvstttt." The man placed his index finger on his wife's lips. "In these circumstances, let the power of God be decisive, dear. We are only obliged to fight and pray, after which we leave it to the Owner of Life. Let his hands work to heal Kio," said Adrian sage.
It was actually not just Ara who thought that way. In Adrian's mind, the same thing happened. But he just kept quiet without revealing it.
"Honestly, Mas. When my brother was in the hospital, and went straight to the ICU with a coma, we were all shocked. He never complained about anything all this time. And when the tools were attached to his body for three months. In the end, the mother decided to take it off and let it go. Because according to medicine, they don't exist." Ara's words made Adrian's mind more and more unbecoming.
He could not imagine the reaction of his family if he lost Akio. He was also the one who had grown up together for several years.
Is it true that Akio's age in the world is only this short?
