A girl sitting in front of the ICU room appeared anxious to hear the information that would be announced by a doctor who had just examined someone she cared about.
"Doctor, how is he doing?" the girl asked with great concern.
Was it still appropriate for her to care? Was it still right for her to be worried after her beloved had thrown so many insults and even resorted to violence against her?
"His condition is critical at the moment, he needs time for recovery," the doctor replied.
The girl bowed her head respectfully, thanking the doctor for examining her beloved.
"Thank you so much, doctor, for examining my beloved. I will take good care of him," the girl said innocently, with bruises on her cheek.
"This might be very difficult for you, but I truly hope you can handle it. Stay strong," the doctor said.
The girl shed endless tears, receiving a light pat on the shoulder from the doctor before he walked away from the patient's room. Meanwhile, the girl entered the room filled with the smell of medicine and the sound of medical devices next to her beloved's bed.
"Darling," she called.
Her name was Irsya. She walked up to her beloved, who could only lie weakly in the hospital bed with a very pale face, making Irsya cry even harder.
"Forgive me, my love. I couldn't take care of you properly, I'm sorry," Irsya said.
Irsya poured out all her sadness and frustration onto herself, thinking that all of this was her fault.
"I'm sure you can get through this, my love. Please, don't make me this sad," Irsya pleaded.
All of this was not Irsya's fault, in fact, she was the one who had been wronged by her beloved. It all began one month ago...
One month ago...
Irsya, a beautiful and innocent girl, had no friends because she was a victim of her father's violence.
"Irsya, come home," the girl had just returned from school and saw her mother having an affair with her lover in her room.
Seeing their struggle, the eighteen-year-old girl was shocked. She never expected to have a mother who would shamelessly engage in an affair in front of her child like this. Irsya's body trembled as she witnessed the betrayal.
"Irsya! Get out of this house!" her mother shouted loudly.
Her mother cruelly pushed Irsya away, forcefully ejecting her from their home in the midst of a stormy rain, leaving the girl in silence, crying.
"Mum, please open the door. I promise I won't tell Dad. Mum, please open the door. It's cold, Mum, it's cold."
The 18-year-old girl had to taste the bitterness of life, witnessing her mother's infidelity in front of her own eyes and now feeling the cold from the rain pouring over her body.
"Mom, please open the door, Irsya begs."
The girl stopped knocking on the door of her home, no matter how loudly she knocked, her mother wouldn't open the door for her. Living in a cramped and densely populated neighborhood filled with low-income residents, this girl didn't want to inconvenience her neighbors. Their beds had to be shared, and adding Irsya would only burden them further.
"Maybe I can sleep in a shop instead," Irsya said.
