Warm morning sunshine slowly entered through the gap of – curtain slits and landed on the white sheets where on top lay a girl with a very pale face.
The warmth of the morning sun did not disturb her sleep soundly the girl who was still faithful closed her eyes.
Whether due to the influence of sleeping pills or the condition of his body is still very weak, since transferred into the ward Azkia still has not opened both eyes.
Only his regular roar of breath was clearly visible behind the striped blanket – blue lines that wrapped around his thin body.
“ Doc, how is the condition ?...”
“ Why he still hasn't woken up as well...”, asked Melati anxiously.
“ In addition to his condition that is still weak after passing the critical period..”.
“ Also the effect of the sleeping pills injected to the patient..”.
“ We do this so that the patient's condition can remain stable with enough rest...”, said the doctor explained.
“ Mother just relax...”.
“ Soon the patient will surely wake up because the effect of the drug is almost gone..”, said the doctor calmed.
Hearing the doctor's words, Melati can only breathe a sigh of relief even though there is still a little worry when she sees the daughter-in-law still not open her eyes.
After the doctors left, there was one nurse left who would treat and replace the bandages on Azkia's back now.
Although jasmine had seen the wound last night, this morning she again saw lashes, bites and scratches that were still slightly wet tears back pouring down her cheeks.
“ Forgive mommy dear...”
“ Mother has failed to educate Ardan until he becomes a heartless cruel man like this.”, inner Melati cries.
Melati still did not get an answer to what made Ardan could hurt his wife in such a way that almost took lives.
Ardan was still silent when Faisal railed against him with various questions about what had afflicted Azkia.
Although Ardan had silenced the mouth of the doctor and all the workers who were sick and at home, but the condition of Azkia's body opened everything.
“ What is true Vira said if this has anything to do with Ardan's return to a relationship with Meysa..”, Melati's inner being suspicious.
Not without reason Melati suspects Meysa and all her actions considering the first time Ardan was in a relationship with the girl his son's personality changed drastically.
Fortunately, Meysa's hypocrisy and depravity was quickly revealed so that Ardan broke off the relationship with the lover who had a bad influence on him.
The disappearance of Meysa after breaking up from Ardan makes Melati feel calm, but who would have thought if the cunning woman came back and disrupted the marriage of her son who is still the age of corn.
“ Just relax baby...”.
“ Mother will not let Ardan or anyone hurt you again..”.
“ Once enough mama kecolongan until you suffer like this..”, mutant Melati tear.
Azkia had actually woken up since the nurse had treated and replaced the bandage on her back. But somehow his eyes felt heavy to open.
Azkia's soul that was in that fragile body was now different. Hearing all of Melati's words, in silence the girl had started to devise a plan as to what she would do after waking up.
“ Shit...”.
“ It seems that the rest of this sleeping drug is still reacting..”, Azkia swear in the heart.
Shortly thereafter, he fell back asleep to a very bad dream. Apparently, Azkia's real soul was experiencing inner upheaval there.
Melati was a little surprised as Azkia's fingers she held tightly gripped her hand. Slowly cold sweat began to appear and filled his forehead.
“ Stop mas...”.
“ Please...”.
“ Stop...."
" I can no longer..”.
“ Pain mas....”, Azkia moans in pain.
Among the sweat that filled his forehead, Azkia's tears began to pour out from his two eyes that were still tightly closed.
“ Azkia..
“ Build nak...”.
“ This mother....”.
“ Mother promises will always be beside you and protect you dear...”.
“ Nothing else will hurt you now..”.
“ Including Ardan...”, said Melati sadly.
The middle-aged woman wiped off the sweat that began to drench Azkia's pale face with a tissue while slightly patting her cheek for the girl to wake up.
Getting a pat on the cheek instead of waking up, Azkia instead cried hysterically to make Melati very panicked and immediately pressed the bell for the nurse to come.
The doctor who treated Azkia told the nurse to inject sedatives into the infusion of Azkia when she saw the girl getting hysterical with both eyes still tightly closed.
Seeing Azkia had calmed down as the injected medicine reacted, the doctor walked closer to Melati.
“ After the wound dries and the patient is allowed to go home..”.
“ As the doctor who treated her, I recommend taking your daughter to a psychiatrist considering the inner wounds she suffered quite badly..”.
“ And as much as possible should mother take Azkia away to a quiet place and away from the person who has hurt her and traumatized her like this.”, said the doctor gave advice.
Melati can only nod sadly at the condition of her daughter-in-law who is increasingly felt to be more worrying.
Ronan, who was feeling better, was going to his daughter's nursery with Jacob, who helped him push through the wheelchair he was using.
Melati who saw there was a little debate at the entrance of the ward Azkia immediately came out to see who forced her into the nursery of her daughter-in-law.
“ Ronan....”, said Melati a little surprised.
Seeing Ronan come wearing patient clothes with a wheelchair and infuse hose in his hand, Melati's heart felt more guilty.
As a result of Ardan's bodyguard who did not allow Ronan into the princess's nursing room made the middle-aged man again have a heart attack and ended up being treated as he is now.
“ Please enter...”, said Melati a little awkward.
Although Melati is not wrong, but Ronan still can not be ordinary – ordinary to the family of a man who has made his daughter like this.
Assisted by Jacob, Ronan walked over to Azkia who was left limp with a very pale face and with some blue wrist injuries.
“ Dear...”.
“ Forgive papa nak..”.
“ Papa should be able to strictly forbid you to marry Ardan when feeling papa says if he is not the right man for you. ”, Ronan said with regret.
Ronan already had a bad feeling about the arrival of Ardan who was about to marry Azkia given how hard the man refused to take responsibility after desecrating Azkia a year and a half ago.
But thanks to his besieged persuasion and seeing how happy the princess was to be able to marry the man she loved so much made Ronan eventually melt down and approve of his second marriage.
Melati could only smile wryly hearing all Ronan's words to the princess without being able to say what – what because of all the pure faults of Ardan, his son.
Ronan kissed Azkia's blue wrist with a wound that began to dry in the middle because it was strong and Ardan often remembered Azkia's hands with rope when they did the unnatural union.
“ One papa mistake is to approve your marriage...."
“ But after knowing Ardan's bad deeds to you...."
" Papa swore he would never want to bless you again with your husband.”, Ronan promised in his heart.
