The Love I Don't Miss
Part 22 (Bad News )

Zio arrives at the home of his first wife, Naura Azalea. Beautiful and graceful women who are in the field - Zio as the only woman he loves on the face of this Earth.

His handsome face looked lethargic, making Naura who welcomed his arrival immediately ask, what is wrong with the husband.

"I was just drinking too much last night." replied Zio accordingly.

"Related?" Naura touched the soft jaw of Zio. Support him with both hands with his clasped fingers. Observe more closely the tangled face of her husband.

"Yes, Sayaang!" zio answered reaching for Naura's waist to be tighter. He placed a gentle kiss on the forehead of the beautiful woman. Trying to carve a smile even though it is clearly visible if the smile is a pushy smile.

"Do you want lunch?" naura asked to shift the focus away from the question that would never be answered.

"May.." replied Zio smiling faintly.

Soon they rushed to Naura's lunch. Usually Zio is always eager to eat Naura cuisine. But this time he seemed to be eating very lazily.

However, a woman's heart must know, if there are those who are not being good to her husband. There is something that my husband is hiding.

After lunch, Naura invites Zio to relax on the balcony of Naura's house. Trying to dig up what the husband is hiding.

But until half an hour of chat, Naura did not get what she was looking for. When it almost works, the sound of Zio's cell phone ringing shifts Zio's concentration.

📞 "Hello, Ma?"

📞 "Good afternoon, Mas? my name is Lia nurse from Citra Medika Hospital."

📞 "Oh, what's up, huh? why is my mom's phone on you?"

📞 "The owner of this phone has an accident on the Bypass line with her husband."

📞 "WHAT!"

Sontak Zio moved from his leisurely seat. Standing up facing the blue sky. And Naura as well. He faintly heard what the nurse said.

📞 "Citizens helped him by bringing to our Hospital. When I check the contact list to contact my family. From the name it says, it looks like Mas is his son!"

📞 "Yes! my child! how are my Mom and Dad?"

📞 "Sorry, Mas... Can you come to the hospital now? I can't explain it over the phone. Because your mom is still in the operating room.

📞 "Alright!"

Answer Zio without a stale base. He ends the call immediately.

"How, Mas?"

"Mama and Dad were in an accident. You want to go to the hospital?"

"But what if they see me and come back as angry as they used to be?"

"You don't have to meet them. I just want you to give me some support!" zio was very sad.

Naura nodded slowly. She rubbed her husband's chest which looked fluttering. Getting such bad news, of course, made him panic.

"We also have to pick up Calina!" said Zio. "If Mama and Papa are conscious, let Calina see, not you."

"Yes, Mom!" naura answered following whatever her husband ordered.

***

As planned, Zio, Calina and Naura ran around in the hallway of Citra Medika Hospital which was outside the city. If calculated, maybe the location of Sakita House is in the middle between the capital and the hometown of Zio and Calina originated.

"The accident patient on behalf of Mr. Raihan and Ms. Reni!" zio said to the receptionist.

"Please come with me, sir!" said a male nurse standing at the reception desk.

Of course all followed the fast pace of the male nurse with a face of grief, panic and worry that mixed into one.

They were at the door lined with two. It says Operation Room. Just as it had arrived, along with the door opening and a doctor came out from there.

"How are my parents, Doc!" zio asked frantically with a slight stomp.

The doctor glanced at the two women who were on Zio's right and left sides. Two women who looked very in touch with the man in front of her.

"Can we talk to each other in my study?" ask the doctor as soon as possible.

Zio just nodded slowly. Then they immediately entered the doctor's office.

"Pak Raihan, breathed his last while on the way to the Hospital" said the Doctor was full of regret because he had not had time to handle the victim.

Zio stared in disbelief at the doctor. There's no way his Papa died that fast. Repeatedly he turned his head to the right and to the left. I wish all this was just a dream.

But he was actually in a doctor's office. Spoke four eyes with the man in the white suit.

The tears of Zio Alfaro just dripped. Without any thrashing and or even hysterical.

"My mom's lala?" zio asked in a very trembling voice.

"Mother Reni had a very hard impact on the head. As Mr. Zio agreed on the phone earlier, the operation we had. But the results.we can not promise.." said the doctor back mute.

Zio's tears were flowing. While picking up Naura, a phone call from the Hospital said that Mama should be operated on immediately. He agreed, because it was an emergency.

"How many percent are my mama's chances of recovering, Doc?"

Sighing heavily, "Possibly only 20 to 30 percent, sir."

"Yeah God.." - Zio.

"Even if he managed to survive, he would most likely be disabled!"

Zio wiped away the tears that were coming down in turn.

"Your mother is now in the ICU. May God still give you a chance to live."

Zio's breathing started to get irregular, and left the doctor's room with his faint steps.

Outside the door, his two wives were already waiting with anxious faces. When Zio came out then the two of them immediately approached. Ask what happened.

"Papa's dead... Mama's still in a coma with heavy injuries." said Zio.

Make both his wives reconnect to say innalillahi. Zio chose to hug Naura. Shedding the sadness he was feeling in the arms and strokes of his wife who was also crying.

Naura was sad, more than a year she became Zio's wife. But never once has he been reunited with his in-laws after a meeting about two years ago.

While Calina, she knows that she is not part of the likes and sorrows of her husband. So he decided to step back and sit in the waiting chair. Tears of sadness alone.

After all, in-laws are his second parents. The same - he loves and respects. Losing by accident is a heartbreaking thing. Make anyone must be disappointed because they have not been able to say goodbye words.

"Sir Zio? let me take you to the morgue!" said a male nurse, making Zio regained consciousness.

Zio nodded, and his two wives walked quickly behind him. Until they arrived at the room that read The Body Room.

"Rapaa!" zio shouted slightly stifled, as the pale face of the Papa was clearly visible above the gurney.

"Pa.pa.." - Calina cried with tears and tears.

That day, grief and sorrow enveloped Zio and his wives. The departure of Papa Raihan and his coma Mama Reni, is enough to make a Zio Alfaro teary-eyed.

The funeral procession was also held that day. In Zio and Calina's hometown. Mama Shinta was at the funeral. Even Naura was present. But he played Zio and Calina's best friend.

"Cal, how can you and Zio be friends with that woman?" mama Shinta asked when they had returned from the funeral.

"Oh, Naura is Mas Zio's college friend. And now Naura's co-worker Calina." Calina's answer is lying.

"Oh.. Mama look at them so familiar!"

"His name is also a friend, Ma." replied Calina wiping her mother's arm. Not to ask about Naura who talks to Zio more often than she does.

"He's married?"

"It is.." replied Calina flatly. "Him husband was just a pilot. So rarely at home, including today." Calina is back.

"Oh!"

' If only Mama knew who Naura was. Maybe today you'll ask Calina to come home... I'm sorry Calina, Ma. There will be a time for Calina to come home. Leaving those two men. But for now Calina still wants to know the development of Mama Reni. He loved Calina... '

Calina said in her heart.

Actually, that afternoon Calina packed up. Prepare to leave Zio with all his hassles. He had even prepared a reason to be revealed to his in-laws and mother, later, if they asked.

But suddenly Zio came with panic. Finally, he got in the back seat of Zio's car. Following the husband's rapid exit from the city.

Two days after Papa Raihan's funeral, Zio had to return to work after the holidays because the family died.

Calina chose to take care of her mother-in-law. Asking for an additional leave of absence from the company he worked for the next seven days.

It was better that he was in the Hospital, than to be at home and see Zio every day. Although it is likely that Zio will return home to Naura to share his joys and sorrows with his first wife.

"Cheal, Ma.." - Calina wiped Mama Reni's arm.

The mother-in-law's body was filled with hoses and various tools to keep seeing its development.

Three days Mama Reni was in a coma, no movement found Calina. Everything remained the same as when Mama Reni entered the ICU for the first time.
