Mr. Leon's Second Wife
153

Leon swung his legs quickly and wide down the hospital hallway. His face looks very tense. A phone call he just got when he was busy eating his lunch with his wife.

Yes, a police officer told her about Renata's condition. The police said the middle-aged woman had declined today. The woman suddenly had a seizure and was unconscious. The inmate is currently in hospital care in the ICU. That made Leon unable to hide his worries. He was afraid of the things that happened to the middle-aged woman who was the only biological family he had.

Leon and Aleta arrive in front of the ICU.

He saw there, in front of the room, two policemen were still standing in a standby position. Leon who looked so angry also approached the two policemen.

"sir.." said Leon.

"sir Leon?" said a policeman there. Leon nodded.

"how's my mom doing?" ask Leon.

"your mother was unconscious. The doctor is inside to treat your mother. Please wait there for a moment, sir." said the police officer.

Leon felt weak. His muscular strapping body moved backwards. His eyes seem to be condensing. What happened to her mother in there. He was afraid of things that were not wanted to happen to the middle-aged woman.

No matter how bad the woman's treatment was, she was still Leon's mother. The woman who gave birth to herself in the world. She is the only real family she has.

Leon sat his body on a waiting chair in front of the ICU. Leon rubbed his face rough. It's getting frustrating. Indeed, he was disappointed in the woman, but as a child, he still hurt to hear the condition of his mother who was getting weaker.

Aleta who was beside Leon appeared to touch the back of the man's hand. In the soft crumbs of her husband's hands as if to provide warmth and strength for a man who just a week ago married her.

Leon did not look or respond. All he had in mind right now was Renata, his mother.

ceklek...

ICU room door open. A doctor came out of the room.

Leon immediately got up from his sitting position. Near him the doctor with a tense face. Aleta followed him from behind.

"how is my mother?" ask Leon.

The doctor looked sad.

"sorry sir, your mother's condition is very weak. Her health has been steadily declining since the past few days."

"he is now conscious. He was resting inside" said the doctor.

"can we see him, doc?" ask Aleta.

"please, but my advice, please do not talk seriously first yes, his condition is very unlikely" said the doctor.

"well, doc" Aleta replied.

......................

A few moments later..

In the hospital's typical green clothes, a couple who could be said to be new was seen entering the ICU room accompanied by a police officer behind them.

As usual, the police are tasked with ensuring that the vigilante visit to the big hospital is safe without any activity that violates the rules.

Leon and Aleta approach the patient's bed where Renata is lying.

Seen there, the middle-aged woman was lying weakly with various tools attached to her body.

His body looks thinner, even very thin than before when the two husbands and wives visited the woman.

Leon felt tight. Aleta again squeezed the man's palm to give strength to her husband.

Leon and Aleta approach. Renata who was aware seemed to stare towards the two human children without movement. Leon sat on one of the chairs beside the bed. Aleta stood beside her husband.

"ma.." said Leon softly.

Renata stared at the son with glaring eyes.

"mama why else?" ask Leon.

Renata did not answer. He just kept quiet while moving his eyeballs towards Leon and Aleta alternately.

Being quiet...

Renata did not speak. Then....

"i'm tired" he said so softly.

Leon and Aleta looked up at the mother.

"i'm tired" he said again. Leon grabbed the skinny palm. Grasping the hand with eyes that began to condense.

"keep yourself well" said the woman.

"i'm sorry. Never understand what you want" Renata said

"excuse me for being selfish" he said again.

"already, don't talk about it. Mama rest.." said Leon as if he did not dare to hear the words that came out of the lips of the woman. It was like a farewell speech. Leon couldn't listen to her.

Renata closed his eyes. The woman who usually looks arrogant and mumawa it seems like she is no longer able to withstand the various pains she suffers. His body is so weak and frail. The pain that gnawed at his body as if it had managed to take away all of his strength. Which makes him now helpless with the help of various medical devices attached to his body.

Renata reopened her eyes staring at Leon and Aleta in turn.

"Leon, " said Renata.

"i'm sorry I haven't been able to make you happy" said Renata weak make Leon more afraid to hear it.

"seek your own happiness. Sorry, I can't give it as long as I live. I'm sorry" said Renata weakly.

"ma, it's ma" said Leon.

"don't call me mama. I don't deserve it" said the woman.

He looked back at Leon and Aleta alternately.

"live happily with the woman of your choice. If she's the right woman you think, I'll approve of her. Look for your happiness with him" said Renata weakly.

"forgive me all my mistakes. So that I can rest in peace without any debt I have left in this world"

Renata looked at the lowered Aleta.

"i picked up my son. I know you're an honorable woman. You're a good woman. Give her the love I can never give as long as I live. I believe you can be a good guide for her" Renata said, making Aleta's heart shake.

"i'm sorry to you guys" Renata said so softly.

Yep, yeah,

It seemed like Renata began to realize his mistake at the time of his body as if he was already unable to fight the disease that had been eating away at his body.

The general's words a few days ago like he managed to slap Renata's soul. Make him keep thinking until make his condition drop.

Renata closed his eyes again feeling the pain in his chest. It was as if he was no longer strong against the pain he was suffering from. Tired, very tired.

The breath slowly became heavier. The chest is moving up and down. Renata returned breathless.

Leon and Aleta panicked.

The man got up, called his mother's name while touching her shoulder.

"young..! mama why?!" ask Leon to worry.

Renata did not answer. His eyes were wide open with his mouth open. It was as if his breath was already in the esophagus, yet it was so difficult to escape. Leon seemed to be shedding tears in the midst of the panic that whack. While Aleta has now run out of the room without aba aba looking for a doctor to seek help.

Leon was panicking. The mother's hand held as if trying to give the woman strength to endure.

Renata is tormented. His breath was getting stifled.

A doctor with a nurse then comes with Aleta behind him.

But baby, like him they can't do anything.

The woman was almost at her end. His eyes are still wide. His mouth is still open. It was as if the tribe was so difficult to remove from its body. Making the woman a sinner as if so tormented by what she now feels.
