The sun looks warm, this morning Semarang weather is quite friendly. Hustle and bustle of the capital slowly returned to life, the sound of horns and then the tares of vehicles still ringing in Bima's ears.
Got word from Yudha right at midnight, Bima actually wanted to leave that very second. However, Yudha forbade and asked him to come the next day because it was not possible.
Accompanied by Lengkara, Bima stepped quickly through the hospital corridor. In fact, no matter how sick his heart, a papa still papa and Bima can not reject that fact. He was panicked, screwed up even last night unable to sleep because he was worried that something might happen.
One thing that Bima feared, honestly he was not ready if he had to lose his papa. In fact, when he entered the hospital room, Bima's tears trickled even though his papa was being fed Yudha and looked fine.
"Ma ...."
Bima's heart is still beating fast. Yudha did not say how the papa's final condition was, either intentionally or how clearly Bima felt trapped.
Only, the shady smile of her papa instantly made Bima look away and wipe away the tears. Where he wanted to be seen clearly crying, again the prestige of Bima is extraordinary and it was caught clearly by Lengkara.
"You're coming? Come closer, Bima .. let papa hold you," said Papa Atma staring fixedly at his son.
Just thinking of giving up, his world was even dark last night, until he woke up again because the cry of Bima and Yudha first descended into the world sounded slashing his heart.
Papa Atma's hand seemed to shake, it was quite difficult indeed to make a stone-hearted man like Bima melt with just tears. In fact, the son seemed reluctant to approach before Lengkara asked him to step.
Of course the reason was shame, moreover he did such a thing in front of Yudha who had been looking at him since with an illegible smile. However, for the sake of Bima's wife according and the first time after so many years he felt the embrace of a father.
It had been a long time, even he had forgotten the last time Papa Atma had held her this tightly. Maybe when he was sitting on the Junior High, exactly when Bima won the national math olympiad.
Unlike the past, it is not a compliment to his intelligent brain that Bima received. Except for the apology of Papa Atma, the highest peak of a father's remorse, he even went as low as possible in order to reach out to the apology of Bima.
"Stop, Pa. .. papa I know is not like this," said Bima stopped his papa, since he felt as if he was not talking to a different person.
"I'm sorry papa, Bima."
Again he repeated, Papa Atma will not stop before Bima accepts his apology directly. While Bima who was basically insensitive was clearly just silent even though her heart had forgiven, Yudha tried to speak sign language to the stiff man.
.
.
"What?" bima asked without a sound, but the movement of her lips was quite clear and read by Yudha.
"Tell me if you forgive Papa, Bima." Yudha kept trying despite knowing the possibility of success was very small.
"Huh?" As expected, let alone one sentence, one word only he did not understand.
"Yes, God does he really not understand? Does he feel like papa until next year?"
Bima is so different from him. If only limited to waiting for Bima, then it is free. Forced Yudha to take action and now approaching, he will try to speak so that the embrace ends soon.
"Hm, right, Pa. What you do I will never forget and _he means slowly I will forget." Bima was indeed that honest, what he felt he revealed and did not have the expertise to take his heart actually.
Yudha who heard his brother's confession only nodded slowly. Although the condition of the father had been dying last night, Bima did not have the intention to please his papa even a little.
"If papa really wants to apologize, mother is the one, not me, Pa," Bima added later, she is not as sweet as Yudha, not her talent to comfort someone.
"Yes, papa understands .. but, before you go again can you ask, Bima?"
"What's the matter, Pa?"
"Do you still hate papa?" asked Papa Atma later, his own eyes were hoping that Bima would never hate him again.
"No, Pa. I'm grateful that Papa thinks I exist .. I'm sorry if the way I open my eyes is too rude, but I've made sure your good name won't get polluted." Although Bima's prestige is high, but to apologize if he feels guilty will obviously not object.
"No, Bima. Papa who should be grateful, right you said. Papa is too stupid and too trusting with his gentleness, "sorry Papa Atma later. Although late, but at least not until the end and the relationship with the son can still be saved.
Lengkara witnessed clearly how Bima again got the figure of papa that he missed. The figure of the father who often spoke when the nightmare, seeing the scene, his heart really warmed.
"Thank you guys for coming, especially Lengkara .. You must have persuaded him, right?" asked Papa Atma gently to the beautiful woman who stood not far from Bima, it was clear her daughter-in-law played an important role in this.
"No, Pa ... Mas Bima was really worried, even since the beginning of Mas Yudha called last night she was already panicking."
Just like Yudha, Lengkara seemed to deliberately make Papa Atma touched by the sweet thing that Bima did without realizing it. Suddenly Yudha shut her mouth, worried that she who was smiling was caught red-handed by Bima and returned to being a problem.
"Papa is happy to hear it, but where is the King? Didn't you come?" Bima's eyes are breaking hearing Papa Atma's question.
"Huh? The king? King dian_jeez, miss." Bima looked at the wife who was now frowning, she completely forgot about the King.
"Where left? The airport? Let me pick you up."
"Not."
"Then?"
"In Jakarta," Bima replied instantly making Yudha choke on spit.
