99 Love for You

Bereft

*Alvian PoV*

Today as usual, I was filming a political talk show.

I exchanged ideas with other speakers. I feel like I'm still a layman in this field. Although my S2 studies were political science. When there was no filming schedule, Shasha scheduled me to meet with the citizens of a certain area. It was clear that the point was so that I could draw their sympathy to vote for me later in the election.

While filming was going on, I accidentally saw Shasha arguing on the phone. His face was different from the usual.

I know he's a rather temperament person. But he is very strict and disciplined about time. Shasha looked at me with a strange look. He looks very anxious. While taking a break from filming, she ran straight towards me and whispered something in my ear.

"It was an accident." he said.

I was shocked and ran away from the studio. Next time I leave everything to Shasha, she can take care of my work.

I'm heading straight to the hospital. Shasha said that Nayla and Tasya were in the IGD room. I saw Nayla sitting down. She cried. His hands and feet were trembling. I approached.

"Nay, what's going on?" I held his shoulder. She's staring.

"Mas---" her voice raspy.

"You calm down, everything will be fine. Have you called Cecil?"

Nayla shakes. "Alright, let me tell Cecil." I took my phone out of my pocket. Suddenly Nayla was holding me back.

"Mas, I have something to tell you" Nayla said sobbing.

Nayla recounts all the events before the accident. I'm stunned. Empty views. I'm thinking hard.

I have to do something. Cecilia can't know the truth. Our relationship has just improved. I decided to contact someone first before contacting Cecil.

I'm sorry, Cil. It's all for our good. This time, I have to lie to you.

...***...

*Cecilia PoV*

I was on my way to the hospital that Mas Alvian mentioned earlier. My heart is not calm. During the trip I just looked out. And my tears don't stop flowing. Why did this have to happen to me?

When my relationship with Alvian began to improve, why did God test me again with Tasya? My tears are flowing again.

Mr. Rangga offered me his handkerchief. But I always wipe my tears with my own hands.

I myself just realized if it turns out the person who drove me was Mr. Rangga. Wait!!! Mr Rangga???!! It's like it's not him. I know exactly how he treats me. He was always cold to me. Says loudly, and never talks. Why is she---- now????

Ah come on, this is not the time to think about that. Now all I have to think about is Tasya.

If something happens to her, how??? How can I live without my son??

Oh my God, please don't take her from me. . .

IGD Room, Hospital.

Cecil's legs trembled as he walked towards the IGD room. There he meets Alvian and Nayla, who still cry like Cecil.

Alvian immediately approached Cecil who was crying, trying to calm him down. But Cecil could not calm down. He headed towards Nayla who was sitting down.

"Nay, what's really going on? Why did Tasya get in an accident?" Cecil sat next to Nayla.

Nayla was silent.

"Jawab Nay, don't shut up! Hurry up and tell me what's really going on?" Cecil starts to get emotional because Nayla keeps quiet.

Seeing that, Alvian approached Cecil and pulled him some distance away from Nayla.

"Don't be like this, Cil. Nayla was still in shock. I hope you understand! Don't push Nayla."

"I should be in shock, Mom. I put Tasya on Nayla. I believe he will take good care of Tasya. But now what's going on? He's making Tasya a bitch!" Cecil could no longer contain his anger and tears.

"Don't blame Nayla! This whole thing was an accident. And this can happen to anyone. Now you calm down. We're waiting for the doctor's statement."

After arguing with Alvian, Cecilia sat a bit away from Nayla as well as Alvian. His hands were shaking and his mouth almost never stopped praying. He wished nothing had happened to Tasya.

Rangga saw the incident which he thought was strange.

While Rangga was still struggling with his own thoughts. Alvian approached Rangga and broke his daydream.

"It looks like you've got no interest here anymore, so you better get going!" Alvian said coldly to Rangga.

Rangga scrunched his forehead.

"Thank you for bringing my wife here. Now you better get back to the office. Isn't this still working hours?" Alvian.

Rangga was silent. He looked at Alvian sharply.

"You better treat your wife well. If until you make her cry again, I'm not hesitant to snatch it from you." Seringai Rangga while handing over the keys of Cecil's car to Alvian's hand. Then stepped away leaving Alvian who was unmoved to hear Rangga's statement.

Rangga stepped out of the hospital, then called Herman, his driver. He told Herman to pick her up immediately.

While waiting for Herman in the front lobby of the hospital. Suddenly a woman approached him.

"Wait a minute!!!" Call that woman who turns out to be Nayla.

Rangga was confused by the arrival of Nayla. Why did this woman approach him? Her thought.

"I'm sorry sir, if I'm presumptuous to see you." Nayla said with breath. It seems like he ran so he could catch up to Rangga.

"What are you doing here? Are you chasing me on purpose? Do we know each other?" ask Rangga flat.

Nayla shakes. "We don't know each other. But I overheard my father's conversation with Mas Alvian."

What??? Mas??? This woman called Alvian Mas?? Is he Alvian's brother? Or a cousin?

Rangga was more confused by this situation.

"What did you hear?"

"I heard if you want to take Mbak Cecil from Mas Alvian. Is that true?"

Geez! What does this woman mean? I was just talking and he came after me here?

"Whatever I say in front of Alvian, it's my business. And if I want to take Cecilia, it's none of your business either." Rangga folded his hands to his chest.

Nayla looks confused. He doesn't know what to answer. "I beg you not to take Miss Cecil from Mas Alvian, sir. Don't ruin their relationship. ." Nayla cupped both her hands together.

Rangga smiled grinning.

Why would he have to answer so tightly to Nayla? Does he want to repay Nayla for making Cecil sad?

I don't know. Only Rangga knew the contents in his heart.

And at that time also Herman came and immediately opened the car door for Rangga. Rangga said goodbye to Nayla. Rangga's car drove away leaving Nayla still glued.

Meanwhile. . .

Cecil and Alvian were still waiting anxiously in front of the IGD room. The impatient Cecil wanted to sneak inside. Alvian. Alvian asks Cecil to trust the team of doctors.

But Cecil remained worried, because from earlier he saw nurses pacing back and forth in the IGD room. He felt there must be something bad in there. And that must be Tasya.

After a long wait, one of the doctors came out and approached Alvian and Cecil. Cecil fell down immediately and sat down. His body was struck by lightning.

"We have tried our best, but sorry, God willed otherwise. Your daughter cannot be saved. The wound on his head is quite severe. Again, we are sorry for you and your mother. . ." It was obviously the doctor who handled Tasya.

That sentence couldn't Cecil just believe it. He broke out and wanted to go in to see Tasya. Alvian held both of his arms. Alvian continued to calm Cecil down, but Cecil remained unsettled. He was crying. Seemingly shrieked. Eventually he fell down, and fainted.

Nayla saw all that. And he could only keep his mouth shut as if in disbelief. He felt guilty for Cecil. But he can't say anything. Nayla ran away from the two of them. She was also crying loudly. He remembered Alvian's words before calling Cecil.

"Look good on Nay. Don't say anything and be reasonable, as if nothing happened between you and Tasya before the accident happened. Remember that, Nay!! This secret, enough we both know. . ."

Nayla closed her eyes with both hands. He couldn't believe it would all be like this. Rice has become porridge, as the saying goes.
