Aji fell asleep after being given medication by a doctor. Before, he could not sleep and continued to complain because his eyes felt dry and sore. Cilla waited patiently for her, despite the many worries that were in her heart. He feared that his son's eyes could not be treated and that it would lead to permanent blindness. Cilla could not imagine if Aji experienced all this.
Cilla asked the doctor about her child's illness, "My son's eyes why Doc? Is it because you stare too often at the laptop screen and also the phone?"
"It's not the main problem. It is caused by bacteria or viruses. Probably because of dry eyes. Frequent staring at the screen of a mobile phone or laptop can reduce the frequency of blinking. It makes the eyes sore because it is dry. As a result it becomes painful. Then, the eyes redden and feel itchy. It can cause easy bacteria and viruses that attack. Hopefully it won't be fatal."
The description of the doctor made Cilla continue to feel anxious. Finally Cilla tried to find out about his son's illness through the Internet.
From the information that Cilla obtained on the internet, he could conclude if, the part of the eye that has the potential to be damaged by the danger of cellphone radiation to the eye is the retina. Direct exposure to blue light radiation from HP screens can cause damage to the retina of the eye. This leads to a loss of central vision - the ability to see objects in front of us. Cilla shuddered in horror at imagining that it would be until all the children in this world happened.
Cilla reopened the other information. Apparently there are other disorders that can be caused by cellphone radiation. The early cataract. Symptoms of radiation cataracts can begin with blurry or blurred vision, not recognizing color clearly, poor vision at night, seeing something like shadowing or doble, and also glare if the lights around it are too bright.
Cilla is becoming more understanding. But he already knows from the doctor if the main attack on Aji's eyes is not from the radiation of the mobile phone and also the screen of his laptop. But there are bacteria that attack it. Although the cause of one of them is the thing above.
The treating doctor is still studying what bacteria cause Aji's eyes like today.
Just as Cilla was about to get out of the room where Aji was being treated, the door suddenly opened and it looked like Gilang was coming with an anxious face.
"How's Aji doing?" ask Gilang without saying hello first.
"He's sleeping." That's the only answer that came out of Cilla's mouth.
"I asked her what she wasn't doing?" Gilang explained about the question answered differently by Cilla with a voice that sounded annoyed.
"What do you care?" asked Cilla sewot because she felt pressured by the tone of voice from Gilang.
"Hi, I'm asking you all right!" Gilang felt challenged.
Cilla was silent and did not want to answer the question from Gilang. He does not want to argue, later it could wake Aji who is sleeping fast.
"Cilla," called Aji to ask for an explanation of her question.
Cilla took a deep breath before answering a question from Gilang.
"Everything has been returned to normal by Aji overnight. After finishing, Aji felt if his eyes hurt and sore. Now the doctor is researching what virus attacked Aji's eye."
The information from Cilla made Gilang feel guilty. He also asked Aji to return the data and cash of the company that Aji had taken yesterday. As a result Aji had to force his eyes to work more than usual.
Glazed squeezing his neat hair, now he looks a little messy but why even look more...
Cilla shakes her head to see Gilang in his current state. There was something Cilla did not want to feel. Cilla finally threw her face in the other direction.
Gilang stepped towards Aji's bed. She stroked her son's hair and face, then kissed Aji's cheeks while whispering, "I'm sorry Papa Nak. Papa promises to make amends for all Papa's previous mistakes. Get well soon!"
Cilla who was looking at Gilang by accident, felt something strange with Gilang's attitude. 'Why did he close his eyes?' ask Cilla in heart.
Coincidentally, when Gilang opened his eyes, he looked also at the eyes of Cilla who still saw him from earlier. Both of them were silent for a while after that Cilla who first cut off her eye contact and turned her eyes to the other direction.
Gilang smiled at Cilla's behavior that was caught watching him. He got up from his seat near Aji's bed, and Gilang stepped closer to Cilla.
"Is there something strange about me? Or are you starting to get fascinated with my face?" ask Gilang with his heavy voice.
Cilla was nervous to hear the words of Gilang who was so close to where he stood today. Cilla did not dare to look towards Gilang. He was still afraid of what happened that night. Although now, there is something that disturbs Cilla's heart with the existence of Gilang who comes and recognizes Aji as his son.
"Say Cilla, do you want to be my wife? It's for Aji, for his future."
Gilang suddenly says his desire to make Cilla his wife. Of course Cilla did not believe what she had just heard. Moreover, all this was only for Aji.
Cilla shook her head, refusing a request from Gilang. He did not want to accept it, because he did not want to have more hope than what Gilang currently offered. 'Being his wife for being just for Aji.'
"Why?" tanya Gilang wanted to know the reason Cilla rejected him. "Is it because I'm guilty, I bought you that night?" ask Gilang again. "I'm sorry for that!" continued Gilang.
Cilla closed her eyes, expelling all the bitter memories of her former life. The sorrow and distress he had endured over the years could not be easily forgotten. There are many reasons why he turned down Gilang's offer to be his wife.
"I'll ask you to Aji later, if she's awake." Gilang again said without caring about Cilla's current feelings.
"No need!" answer Cilla quickly. He did not want Aji to be affected by Gilang's words later.
"Why?" tanya Gilang wanted to know.
"Aji won't accept you as his father." Cilla gave an answer that will certainly be said by Aji later.
"I haven't asked Aji, and Aji hasn't heard my question, how can you know the answer?" Gilang felt that it was all just the reason Cilla rejected him.
"You heard it last night. Aji doesn't want to acknowledge you as her papa" Cilla replied.
"That's because he doesn't know yet. And you didn't tell." Gilang still remained in his stance even though he knew if he heard Aji's words and it wasn't wrong.
"Sorry, pardon. Any parents from Aji Putra? Asked to the administration!" A nurse came to tell, and made the two both speechless and did not continue the endless debate.
"Sorry, I'm staying" Cilla said.
"Shut up here. I will take care of his administration!" Gilang said firmly and did not want to be denied again.
