114. Anamnesis

"Mommy, why are you so restless?" a question slid from the beautiful woman the same age as her son. Nana approached Mahendra's mother who looked unsteady, sitting pensively in one of the hospital hallways. 

Last night was quite a chaos when Wiryo's anger flared knowing his wife and daughter were allowed to see his condition and be there with him. The head of the Wenceslas family argued and asked them to leave his room. The old man was against looking weak in front of them, let alone laying helplessly in  a hospital bed. It became worse with the fact that the man – who was usually referred as the elder – hid all of his problems from both women for years.

Both women of the Wenceslas family were immersed in their thoughts and strings of speculation after speculation. Event after event in the past now demanded to be explained. Mrs. Sukma and Gayatri were devastated after knowing Wiryo's attitude all this time.
