SAKURA, A LITTLE WIFE

Hiro Kiandra Ichiro, a Japanese man of thirty-five years of age, sat nervously in one of the hospital's waiting chairs. Every now and then his hand scooped up a frustrated face. How could he have hurt someone. Moreover, the critical condition that the doctor had mentioned, made Hiro even more uneasy. Guilt, of course, had gripped him for this hour. Hiro's tails glanced at the woman who was sitting not far from him.

She was the wife of Mr. Umar Ibrahim, the man whom he caused harm an hour ago. Actually there was no intention in Hiro's heart to harm someone like this. It's just that he can never predict the name of a disaster. What made Hiro regret that he drove his car fast enough earlier, that he didn't have a chance to dodge it when the accident happened.

Hiro had hit Mr Umar Ibrahim who was crossing the road. It was still Hiro who was wrong here. Because Hiro was not careful with his car. Actually, Pak Umar had turned on the sign light when he was crossing the road. But Hiro didn't notice earlier. Plus the speed of the car he is running. Until the tragedy of the accident was inevitable.

Hesitantly Hiro stood up from his seat and walked over to Pak Umar's wife. Hiro sat beside the woman. The woman who kept crying because of the deep sorrow she felt. The husband is fighting with his life in the operating room.

"Mom, I'm sorry." This was the umpteenth time Hiro had expressed his guilt. Indeed, he felt very guilty especially to the victim's family.

With the palm of her hand, the woman shrank the tears that had not stopped flowing all this time.

"It's okay. Don't feel guilty like this. Nobody wants to have this kind of disaster, kid__" said the mother hanging.

Hiro knew and with a forced smile Hiro said, "My name is Hiro, Mom."

"Ah, yes Hiro. Don't continue to feel guilty. I'm sure, you will be fine in there," said the mother firmly. Pak Umar's wife was trying to be optimistic that her husband was in there, he would be fine.

Hiro felt a little calm. At least the victim's family that he crashed into didn't completely blame him and it made Hiro quite touched. Hiro knows that Pak Umar's family is a good family and they are not vindictive. Hiro kept praying without stopping, hopefully Pak Umar can get through his critical period.

Hiro and Pak Umar's wife, both of them were nervous waiting for the doctor to come out of the operating room and give news about the condition of the man who was fighting death in there.

"Mother ...!" exclaimed a girl who hurriedly approached the sitting mother with her back leaning on the hospital waiting chair.

Hiro looked up at the presence of a girl who was still wearing her school uniform. The girl's long hair was in a ponytail so that it seemed to sway when the owner was trotting toward her mother.

Pak Umar's wife, who was sitting in a sitting position, has now stood up to welcome her eldest daughter.

"Sakura ...." said the mother softly.

Then the two women of different ages embraced each other, bursting with grief over the tragedy that had befallen the head of their family.

"Mother, how is your condition?" asked Sakura as soon as they took off their hug.

"Sit down." Her mother's face, which looked calmer, led Sakura to sit on a chair that was provided in the waiting room a few meters from the operating room.

Sakura, a cute brown-skinned girl who is none other than the eldest son of Mr. Umar Ibrahim, follows her mother's orders. They both sat side by side.

"Father is still in there." His mother said with a sad tone.

Sakura's eyes were straight ahead, following her mother's eyes. A closed room above the door was written 'Operation Room'. Sakura's heart rumbled to find the only man she loved was betting her life in there. Without realizing it, tears flowed back down his thin cheeks.

Earlier, when Sakura had just returned from school, even the girl had not yet arrived at her house, a neighbor who accidentally passed her gave the news that her father had an accident. And without thinking, Sakura did not continue her intention to return home. Instead he immediately ran towards the hospital in a hurry. Sakura panicked too sad. Is it true that his father had an accident. And it turned out that when he arrived at the hospital, everything his neighbors had informed him was true.

Sakura looked back at her mother.

"Mother, how did you get into an accident. Tell Sakura what really happened, Mom!"

Mother held Sakura's hand, looked at her daughter's face. "Sakura, this is a disaster. We just pray that you can get past this critical period."

Mother will not tell how the chronological details of the accident that happened to her husband. Because he himself also does not know exactly how the accident happened. There are also no eye witnesses. Luckily the person who crashed didn't run away. And she is responsible for bringing her husband to the hospital. Even the man who bumped into her husband waited anxiously for news from the doctor who was performing the operation on her husband.

It was clear that sadness was seen in the eyes of the two of them and accidentally Sakura's eyes met the sad eyes of a man who was also sitting not far from him.

Indeed, Hiro, feeling guilty, could not escape observing the mother-child interaction. Hiro could not do anything but pray for Pak Umar who was betting his life in the operating room. Even Hiro didn't dare to enter into this conversation between mother and child in front of him.

"Who is that man, Mom?" Sakura asked making Hiro have to look at the two of them.

Mr. Umar's wife glanced at Hiro, then turned to stare at her daughter.

"Sakura, he is ...." It was very hard for Pak Umar's wife to reveal who the real man was with them at the moment. He was afraid that Sakura could not accept what had happened to her father as a result of that man.

It turned out that without her mother having to tell her, Sakura immediately guessed it. "So, it is this uncle who has made you bad?" Sakura's voice was a little loud with a fierce look at Hiro.

Hiro, the man looked up at Sakura. He couldn't hide Hiro's face. With difficulty Hiro swallowed his saliva seeing the face filled with anger was being shown by the teenage girl in front of him. Inwardly Hiro said, it seemed like he would be in big trouble facing that girl. Yes, the daughter of Mr. Umar Ibrahim. Someone he's been hurt for the past few hours.
