Open Your Heart Back for Me

Open Your Heart Back for Me
Goodbye Doctor


The death of a person will be a mystery and and cannot be denied, only the owner of life itself knows when the death will come to pick up. So too with dr. Hendra Darmawan, he and his family have done all they can to cure his illness, but there is no path to recovery.


After saying goodbye all his family Hendra was relieved, sitting quietly looking at the beautiful twilight sky.


“Pi, I love twilight, because it is just like you, even if your arrival is short in my life, but your presence will be imprinted in the heart. From dusk I learned all the beautiful things in this world can not always be had,” Marta said with a quiver.


“We will be like dusk and land, see each other and can not touch each other, greet each other but do not reply to each other. But trust me I will always see you through that beautiful twilight,” reply Hendra staring at the twilight sky.


“Pi, if you can be honest .. I don't want you to go, I want you to accompany me to see the sun set every afternoon,” said Marta.


“Darling ... I am the same twilight; the dusk that dared not say goodbye, the twilight that always refused to go despite being forcibly driven by time, forced to part by circumstances. But believe me, that is not my wish,” Hendra replied sadly.


When the sun had left the sky leaving a bright cloud that ruled the horizon, its beauty made them so calm and silent, Marta said again in her heart.


‘Constrate my heart Lord’ he said in a thread of prayer.


“Mi, I'm tired, want to sleep,” watered Hendra in a small barely audible voice.


‘Is it time for him to leave?’ marta asked in her heart, she was still standing looking up at the sky, not wanting to hear the word goodbye from her husband, her hand holding firmly the handle of the husband's wheelchair. After strengthening his heart, he finally replied with tears.


“Good sleep in peace, dear,” he said in a raucous voice.


Hendra did what Marta said, he laid his body on the back of a wheelchair and closed his eyes forever.


After a few minutes of silence waiting. Marta seemed to have no confidence to feel her husband's face with a trembling shoulder, after she did not breathe anymore, Marta finally lunglai next to Hendra.


“Happy way my lover, wait for me at the door of heaven later, forgive me,” said Marta hugged the husband who had not moved anymore.


Ines, Ms. Narti stood not far from them and ended up crying.


“She's gone Bi,” said Ines slowly.


“Happy way Son, you will not feel any more pain in your body,” said Bu Narti they both approached and hugged Marta.


“Nes .. He's gone, I asked him to go,” Marta said in a loud cry to the attention of everyone who saw.


They all cried to feel what Marta felt, the loss of a loved one was heavy. Axell and Nicolas run and suddenly look at the man who always defends and always helps them both whenever there is a problem.


Axell with his body shaking in tears in the garden chair, when Lina and Gunawan were still sitting in a chair not far from them, Novi approached his family.


“Pi ... she's gone,”ucapnya sobbing. Gunawan ran over to Hendra's body, hugging the child who was treated like a child himself.


Hendra's departure incised sadness in the eyes of all his fellow doctors, as he was known to be a kind and helpful man . Hendra was also very active in social events and often did free treatment on people who could not afford it.

Tomorrow morning.


After being taken care of everything, Hendra was taken to the mourning room, Marta was still sitting still, she seemed to not believe that her husband had left, just this afternoon they both talked to each other, talking about dusk, he said, now the man who married her six years ago was already lying stiff in a crate, no more sweet smiles to be given to her, no longer praising her delicious cooking, even though it actually tasted bland.


“Ta, Did you not tell Amber?” mama Narti asked, holding Marta's palm.


“I don't know, Bi,” answered Marta, she sat like a soulless body, her eyes fixed only on the face of her husband who had closed his eyes.


The more she saw, the more she could not believe that her husband was gone, and she assumed that Hendra was still sleeping.


‘Wake up again, Let's go for a walk once more, see the beach’ whispered Marta staring at the body that had been stretched stiff.


“Ta .. wake up,” whispered Ines as Marta was silent like a statue.


“Ya Why?” He looked at Ines with a sad look.


“We have to bring them both here, they have to see for the last time,” Ines said.


“How about they cry?” ask Marta.


“Better cry now and they know the truth.”


“Alright, do whatever,” said Marta resignedly.


Nicolas and the two sisters returned to the hospital.


“Why are we coming here again? Kan yesterday had met with Papi Om,”ucap in Amber chatter, he did not want to call Nicolas with the name Daddy, for the beautiful child his papi only one, only Hendra.


“We'll see dear Papi,” said Nicolas rubbed Amber's pretty face with the back of his hand.


‘Fortunately you Ko these two children love you very much and I envy’ Nicolas said in his heart.


“Are we going to take Papi home?” keanu asked, his hand was busy playing the robot toy in his hand.


“Pronounce good-bye to your Papi,” Nicolas said in a vibrating voice, their two sisters immediately understood that the children's Papi was dead.


“Papi indeed go where?” ask Amber again, she always asks a lot of questions and the questions never break up.


“Papi will go far dear, already yes .. let Daddy drive quietly let us quickly until,” said sister Amber holding the two-braided child so her lips stop babbling.


“Sus, where is my Papuans?” He asked again.


“Bapi Amber will go to heaven, stay with the stars, then she will see Amber and Abang from there,” Sister said,


“Oh, will he come back again?”


The two sisters looked at each other with very difficult questions, if they were honest the two children would be sad, if they both lied they were sinful.


“Papi will keep an eye on if both are from heaven,” Nicolas said.


Not too long later they finally arrived, all staring as the two of them walked into the room.


“Pap-” Amber fell silent, she looked at her sister confused as to why so many people were.


Everyone was crying as Amber approached and looked at her papi face with a hearty look.


“Papi why sleep there,” said Amber standing in her coffin.


“What Papi doesn't wake up again?” keanu asked to look at her Mommy, Keanu's statement as if it made Marta aware that her husband would not wake up again, she cried again.


“Mami why cry?” ask Amber with teary eyes.  Ines hugging Amber.”


“Pronounce good-bye to Papi dear.”


“Papi good-bye,” both said wistfully.
