Love In The Dream Realm
Chapter.33

Andra's spirit in the ICU room looked at Citra in surprise, because the girl he did not know always came to see him. Even her gaze implied a heartache, as if the girl was so saddened to see her unconscious state.

Andra's spirit came out of the room to find out. Outside, his mother was chatting with a girl he did not know.

At that time the spirit of Andra participated in listening to the chatter of his mother with the girl next to him. He was also curious about who Citra often visited him.

"Is he her boyfriend?" ask mama Andra.

Amel was confused to answer. Because from what Citra has told you, Andra is a mysterious figure.

At the same time papa Andra walked over after ending her phone and saw Amel. "Is your friend inside?" tanyakanya.

"Em .. yes, Om," said Amel, nodding.

"Ma, you better go home and rest. Now let me wait for Andra!" papa Andra's orders.

"Well, if there's anything, let me know, Mas!"

"Yes, let me take you forward!"

Mama Andra nodded then stood up and attached her bag to her shoulder. "I'm sorry, excuse me to go home, okay? thank you for visiting Andra, please tell your friend too!"

"Good, Aunt. Be careful on the road!"

Papa and Andra's mother passed away and Amel remained alone. Andra's spirit who felt that she did not know Amel finally went back into the room.

Inside the ICU room, Citra was seen sitting next to the cage where Andra was laid. The image looks very sad to see the unconscious Andra. If time could repeat itself he would tell Andra not to come back to his house, so that Andra would be fine.

Andra's spirit saw the girl in front of him reciting a prayer for him. Sometimes the girl shrinks her tears. At that moment the spirit of Andra felt as if there was a breeze blowing around him. Cooling and saturating.

When Citra will move out, Andra's spirit follows her again.

The image that just came out of the ICU room was greeted with Andra's father.

"Thank you for visiting Andra again!" papa Andra.

"Sama-sama, Om," Citra said while nodding and smiling. "Can you have a chat for a second, Om?"

"May, what's up, son?" ask papa Andra.

The new image realized that there was no mother Andra there. "Where is Andra's mother, Om?"

"I told him to go home so he could rest. Because, it's been since last night he was on guard at the hospital," he said.

Citra nodded in understanding, she then sat first in the waiting chair before starting the chat, and papa Andra followed her.

"Om, is your business done in my house?" ask Citra.

"Yes, already. Thank you for allowing me to solve my problem" said Andra.

"Together, Om!"

"If I may know if you have lived in that house since childhood?" ask Citra.

"True, I was born and raised there. When I started college, I left home. However, my parents still live there. After my mother died then the house I sold because no one occupied."

"Did Om have a brother? em ... I mean sister?" tanya Citra.

"No, I'm an only child!" papa Andra.

Single child! papa Andra was the only young man who ever lived in the house. Could it be that Papa Andra is the young man who buried the fetus beside his house like in my dream? batin Citra.

The real image wants to ask about the thing he saw in his dream but there is Amel, fearing that papa Andra will be offended if his disgrace is revealed. Eventually Citra chose to hold him back. He was afraid that Andra's father would be angry and would not allow him to visit Andra again.

"All right, I want to go home first, Om. It was late afternoon" Citra said.

After saying goodbye, Citra and Amel left the hospital. Andra's spirit still followed him from behind, but while in the spirit loby Andra was restrained and could not continue his steps to follow Citra.

After driving Amel home, Citra then went home. He did not enter the house but went to his side to make sure. Surely beside his house there was no mound of earth beside his bedroom window. That means papa Andra has moved the fetal grave.

"Alhamdulillah, hopefully this house is comfortable and quiet to be occupied again" Citra said.

He went inside his house. Turn on all the lights because it's getting dark. Adzan maghrib. He closed the door again, then went to the bathroom to clean himself up.

After bathing and changing clothes, Citra came out of her room to go to the kitchen to make a warm drink. However, how surprised he was when he saw there was a woman in the kitchen.

The woman was sitting behind him at the dinner table. His long black hair was allowed to unravel to his back.

Imagedly the heart of Citra beats faster. He was about to run but his legs were hard to move.

"Hey!"

"Aargha!" screamed Citra as someone patted her back from behind. He was so shocked and scared.

The woman sitting in front of him turned to look back at Citra.

A young and sweet woman smiled at him.

"Mother's child why dumbstruck at the door?" The image looks back, apparently the mother who patted his shoulder.

"When is the mundane coming?" The image back asked.

"New, my dear. I went to your room and you just took a shower. Oh yeah, this is Aunt Mila. She'll be staying here for a while until her baby is born!" said the mother while herding Citra closer to the dining table.

"Hi, Image!" said the woman named Mila while reaching out to Citra.

Citra welcomed the hand out and smiled back at him.

"Let's sit down, baby! Mother had stopped by the road to buy food for us. Let's move you to the bowl for a while, we'll eat together!" said the mother while putting a package of food on the kitchen.

"Let me help, Ma'am!" Mila moved closer to the side. Clearly visible belly distended signifies if the gestational age is large enough.

"No need! you don't get too tired, you're going to end the long journey. Poor baby will be exhausted. Let's sit down again!" push mom.

Mila complied and sat back in her place. The image of watching him from where he sat, he thought Mila was indeed quite kind and polite.

"Auntie, how old is the pregnancy?" ask Citra.

"Nine months, Citra," he answered, stroking his distended stomach.

"Oh, good health until the birth later yes, Auntie!" citra politely said.

"Aamiin, thank you!"

"Everything has been gathered, yes" said the father who had just joined the dining table.

Mother then serves her food at the dining table. Dinner starts quietly.

"Eh, wait, Mas! nih, there are slices of leaves," said MIla while scooping slices of chives from Citra's father's plate.

"Ekhm, thank you!" citra's father said then continued eating.

That made Citra look in wonder at Mila. How Mila can tell if her father doesn't like leeks.
