The Substitute Mother?
16. An answer

Ocean

Throughout the operation, the Ocean mind could not calm down. Even his heart kept pounding. But as a doctor, he must try to get rid of his thoughts and personal problems. Especially now he is struggling with the physical of a patient who needs his immediate treatment.

After the operation, the ocean returned to his room. Without taking off his operating robe, he immediately grabbed a cell phone to contact Tatiana. But his phone was inactive. Even up to the fifth call, the woman's mobile phone who still holds the title as his wife is still inactive.

The ocean scooped up her face in frustration. He took off the rough robe of his operation and put it in its usual place. Then he walked around in his room. He wanted to go home and see Tatiana, but unfortunately he could not. Although he had completed his surgery, after this he had to return to the meeting with the doctors who had been involved in the operation to discuss the results of the operation in order to be written in a report.

Seeing the bushel containing lunch that Tatiana brought, the Ocean was rushing to open it. It just so happened that he had not eaten since. After finishing the delayed lunch, Samudera immediately cleaned the tableware and prepared to go to the meeting room of the doctors.

...***...

The ocean could finally breathe a sigh of relief. He's really tired. I can't wait to get home and meet his wife and kids.

Ocean jerks. He remembered that Tatiana's phone had been inactive. Before returning home, he wanted to contact Tatiana first. But when he glanced at the ancient Spikoe cake Surabaya and steamed layer Surabaya orders Tatiana made him undo his intentions. He wanted to surprise Tatiana. He is sure, Tatiana will be happy to see what he wants not to forget he bought it.

The ocean also drove his car at a fairly high speed to his house. After entering the yard, he immediately put his car into the garage. Since the clock is still showing at 7, the door of his house has not been locked. The ocean also opened the door while carrying a paper bag containing Tatiana's ordered cake.

But when he entered the house, he was greeted with heartbreaking tears Ariana. The ocean also placed a paper bag order Tatiana and her lunch bushel on the guest table and rushed to run towards Ariana.

"Sir, Ana why cry like gini?" tanya Ocean panic. He wanted to welcome Ariana into his carrier, but Samudera remembered, he had not cleaned. It is not good to approach the child immediately before cleaning and changing clothes. The hospital is a place to treat the sick to be healed, but that does not mean coming home from there we are clean. No one knows how the air is there. What the Ocean touches as well, there could be germs and bacteria and viruses that unwittingly stick to his body.

"Dad, huhuhu, father, mother where? Which mother, Dad? Huhuhuh ... Why does mom not exist? Which mother, Dad? Mother where?" Raung Ariana made the eyes of the Ocean wide.

"Bik, what's the matter? Where's the bundle going?" tanya Ocean curious.

Bik Una fondled Ariana while trying to ease her cries. But instead of subsiding, Ariana's tears became more and more.

"Anu, den, Ms. Tiana, Ms. Tiana does not know where. Ma'am Tiana suddenly disappeared," said Bik Una nervously.

"Disappeared? How could? Last afternoon, from the hospital she went home right?" cecar Ocean.

Bik Una nodded, "at noon Tiana did come home, Den. Even mbak Tiana had asked me to iron the favorite shirt with Sam, but the bibik fitting finished ironing and want to ngasiin Aden shirt, it turns out that Tiana already does not exist. Bibik tapped on the door but it wasn't opened either. Keep neng Ana awake and nyariin mbak Tiana to the room, but neng Ana nemuin mbak Tiana. Called also can not, so neng Ana so cry continuously from earlier because Mbak Tiana did not know where, ' I made Una make the Ocean stunned.

"Didn't he say anything like that, bik?"

"Nothing, Den. Coming home from Aden's lunch anter, Tiana also said nothing. Just ... "

"What's free?" tanya Ocean curious.

"So bibik mergokin mbak Tiana saw her wedding photo on the back. His eyes are like glass. Headless. Kayak out crying," said bik Una considering how the look of Tatiana's face was.

The ocean widened its eyes. Jakunnya up and down.

"It's quiet, honey. Maybe you have a little work to do. Will be home soon. I'll take a shower." The ocean that could not wipe Ariana's head rushed to the room. He wants to take a shower so he can take over Ariana. Poor Bik Una, he must have been troubled trying to silence Ariana since.

Entering the room, the Ocean feels the feel of the room feels different. I don't know what's wrong, but the Ocean feels something is wrong there. But the ocean doesn't know what it is.

The ocean rushed into the bathroom and cleaned up. He flushed his throbbing head to make it feel cold and refreshing. But even if the water has been flushed, his mind still rages. Worry also dominates his head.

"Where are you, Tiana? Why don't you go tell me?" Ocean restores her wet hair in frustration. He wanted to explain what had happened recently. Let's just say he wants to make a confession, including what he saw earlier.

After the bath, the Ocean rushed out and looked up at the bed and then the dresser chair. Usually Tatiana put her clothes between the two places. Tatiana did her job as a wife and mother very well. Although he always treated her coldly, Tatiana did her job as well as she could.

The ocean breathed heavily. I don't know why since at the hospital his chest feels tight. It was as if there was a big block squeezing him. Even his heart was beating fast. It was as if there was a bad feeling ready to lunge into his days.

The ocean, which found no clothes in its usual place, opened a large closet in the room. Then he took the original clothes and put them on. For some reason, his hand suddenly seemed to be led to open the closet door next to him. The super big cupboard has 4 doors. Two special doors of her clothes then two more doors for Tatiana's clothes.

The eyes of the Ocean are rounded with the heart being pumped over and over. The next side of the closet was empty. Only the kebaya and songket that Tatiana wore during their marriage contract. Then the blankets and sheets that they often wear. Then the next door is all still the same as it was two years ago. Triana clothes and accessories. Nothing changes or shifts at all.

His heart's getting louder. His heart seemed to want to be forcibly snatched from its sockets. The ocean is moving backwards. He looked at the closet. Not even a single Tatiana outfit was left out at all. Thought absentminded. His head turned there and there, watching all the sides in the room. Nothing has changed. It's all the same as it was two years ago. Even the picture frames in his room did not increase or change. All same. Including ... dresser.

Stunned ocean. It was like de javu with what he saw. The atmosphere was the same as she was last year when Triana left for good.

"Norwegian ... No, it's impossible if you leave me? Naw. You must be leaving, right? And will definitely return. Yes, you may be shopping or you are going to your best friend's house right? Wh who? What's name?" Not even the Ocean knows who Tatiana's best friend is.

The ocean grabbed her hair in frustration. He tried to contact Tatiana again, but still could not.

"Aaargh .. "the screeches are frustrating.

The night was late, but there was no sign of Tatiana's return. Even Ariana had fallen asleep from exhaustion crying.

The ocean pacing on the terrace of the house. Expecting Tatiana to come home suddenly, but until the hour hand has shown almost midnight, Tatiana still did not appear as well.

Fear begins to come. Considering that all of Tatiana's clothes were out of place made her terrified beyond measure.

"No, there's no way you're going. That's not possible."

With a desperate look mixed with fatigue, the Ocean returned to his room. Once again he looked around, hoping he would find any trace of Tatiana there, but nothing at all. It was as if Tatiana had never been there. Never been in that room. Never slept in that room.

The head of the ocean is throbbing pain. He nodded his buttocks at the edge of the bed. Until his eyes finally caught a piece of paper folded on the nightstand. The ocean immediately took the paper and opened it. The bones of the Ocean instantly melted helplessly. What was written there ended up being the answer to his unease.

"Goodbye, Mom. I apologize for my presence you never wanted."
