Getting Married to My Enemy: Wounds in Marriage
Blindfold

Dara's knees were limp and it was as if her bones were unable to support her body anymore. He approached, watching the woman who was now lying weak, even as if she was lifeless.

The sound of the tool mounted on his chest seemed unable to make him regain consciousness. Dara clasped her mother's hand, tears unceasingly descending on her cheeks. Will this be their farewell? Dara could not afford to be separated from her mother forever.

"Mama, it's Dara, please open your eyes" said Dara, the doctors and medical team were out, leaving families wanting to say goodbye to patients who are medically hopeless.

"Sister, sister, what should we do?" ask the frightened Alma. Since childhood his mother always pampered him, of course he was not ready if he had to let go of his mother.

"We pray Mama quickly siuman yes, Al," replied Dara trying to strengthen Alma in the middle of his heart which was also down in sadness.

Rain just fell silent in his place. Looking straight at the woman who was lying stiff as if she was helpless again. He wanted to get closer, but again imagined the face of Timo and also his father, imagined how Megi with his floor left them even though he had begged the woman not to leave.

"Sir, should you approach there?" tiger said as if he understood the debate of feeling in Rain's heart.

"no need. I was here just to accompany my wife, "she replied shortly. Though Tiger clearly knew, if his employer was also sad to see the state of Megi. In any case, the woman was the one who had given birth to her, and at this time her mother was dying.

"Mama" cried Dara restrained, when he saw Megi's eyes open, although not perfect. Dara thought it was a big step forward, and it was likely to bring her mother to recovery.

"Call the doctor, please call the doctor" cried Dara. Rushing Rain gave Tiger the order to call the doctor, and he subconsciously approached looking at the woman's face.

Right, Megi is awake. The woman looked at them one by one, then left on Rain's face.

"Rain," called out to him in a weak, almost inaudible voice.

Wherever Rain might be willing to go forward looking at the woman, she remained unmoved in her place.

Back the woman called out, even with all her might to raise her hand, hoping Rain would accept her helping hand.

Seeing no reaction from her husband, Dara got up and stood beside Rain. "I beg you, come closer. Don't you see that he's in so much pain. Forget your ego and your grudge, no matter how she is your mother," Dara said tearfully. There was nothing else he thought. Responding to do what made her mother happy in her last seconds.

However, Rain was still immune to her heart. Untouched, he did not move at all. "Please, Rain, this may be your last farewell, lest there be any remorse left in her life for not forgiving the woman who gave you life" whispered Dara wiping away her tears.

Slowly his hand went down, down Rain's arm and down until it fell into his fingers. Dara tied their fingers, then clasped the man's hand. Trying to convince Rain, if the call is not wrong.

"Come on, honey, I beg you. For my sake," whispered Dara so gently in the midst of her grief. Rain turned his head towards Dara, looking at the girl's sad face. This was the first time the woman called out to him with a word of affection. Rain stared at the netra.

He wondered what this woman's heart was made of so that it could still be gentle and also care about the person who had slapped her.

"Rama-in... Ra-i-n." he said. Rain was still unmoved, not wanting to touch the woman's hand. Tiger came with the doctor, immediately they got out of there so that the medical team could check on Megi.

Rain silently observed the examination, then the doctor retreated, drawing closer to him.

"Sir, the patient's condition is not improving, even more dropping, this is called the critical phase, should the family prepare themselves," said the doctor slowly.

Dara, who heard the doctor's words, was crying hysterically, even she was sitting on the floor.

"Come, rise. You better say goodbye to him, because the time is not long" said Rain, memapah Dara who was unable to stand.

"Mama, if Mama wants to go, then go'lah, Ma. We are sincere," said Dara who said his sentence with sadness in the heart that was too deep.

"Mama, I have to how it will be without, Mama," said Alma who sobbed at Megi's side. The woman still seemed to be gasping for breath, her one-on-one breaths beginning to sound low.

He continued to look towards Rain with a faint look but full of great guilt. It was as if he was about to be ready to leave but still had to wait for Rain's apology.

"Go away, I've forgiven you" said Rain who managed to attract the attention of Dara and Alma. Right after Rain's sentence reverberated in the room, Megi's tears dripped from both corners of his eyes, still staring at Rain. His gaze looked relieved as if he had gotten the supplies he wanted for his long journey later.

Megi's gone. There was a smile on his face as he left this world for good. The crying of his two daughters led to the woman's departure. Rain was still stunned in place. There was a clear grain pooling in the eye pelukan, then hurried him out of there.

Rain took his own time, breathing fresh air for the sake of his chest that felt tight. He understands now, that there are times when a person must forgive, forgive something that has made his mind tormented.

That night he escorted his mother to the afterlife with a sincere apology from her heart. He realized that there was no point in holding a grudge against his mother who was now able to survive.

***

Megi's funeral was arranged and prepared by Tiger. He ordered that Megi should make the final tribute properly.

"Didn't you find that jerk?" tanya Rain stared one by one the people who came to pay their last respects to Megi. He could clearly see the mourners from behind his glasses.

After prayers and events, Megi was buried that morning. The cries of Dara and Alma sounded earthy to each other, even Dara to the point of fainting exhaustion crying over the departure of their mother.

"We're home" said Rain, holding his wife from there and bringing her home. Rain had invited Alma home with them, because everyone had also disbanded.

"You guys go first, Bang. I still want to be here with my mom" he said, not budging. Rain who felt sorry and worried asked Tiger to assign his men to guard Alma.
