A DIVIDED HEART
Episodes 115. William's Play
Dad is now decorating the living room, he will give me a surprise birthday. This afternoon he ordered cakes and trinkets to launch his plan
All ready, he now stands in front of a decoration that says happy 23rd birthday of my daughter. He feels good because he also does not think that his daughter is now an adult and now can help him work in the company
"He's an adult now, but the things he's been through are so heavy. I couldn't bear to keep pretending like this" he sighed softly and then prepared to welcome my arrival which he thought would be home in a moment
Dad went to his room to change clothes and take the gift he had prepared, he went into his room and heard his phone ring. My name was on the screen, he was happy because he thought I was coming home soon
"Assalamualaikum, father's daughter" he said as the call connected
"I'm sorry, this is with Kuncoro sir. This is from the noble hospital, the father had an accident and is now in our place" explained a nurse who at that time contacted Dad using my phone. Without a second thought, he disconnected the call and grabbed the keys to his car that he had placed on his desk
Not long after, I arrived at the hospital. With a hasty step she headed straight to the ER, in front of the room there were several people and also the sisters who passed by
"Sorry, is my daughter inside?" ask a sister who just got out of there
"Who is your daughter's name?"
"Agnes, her name is Agnes. And I just got contacted by the hospital on my daughter's cell phone"
"Oh, that's right. The father's daughter is inside and is being treated by a doctor. Come with me, there are some things that belong to your daughter that we keep" Dad followed her, took my things and then kept them in the car. The sister also said that my car is now being checked by the authorities to find out the actual chronology of events
...****************...
William and Aira have just finished their show, and are currently chatting on the terrace of Aira's house with Andreas, Prima, Mpa Sumi and Tomi. All the invited guests had gone home as well as Andreas' wife, she left her husband out of fear for her daughter who she had left behind
Prima and William are now on good terms, there is no more awkwardness between them because the arrival of Andreas and Tomi is not only for business but also to reconcile the two
Aira also appeared, she had now changed into casual clothes. He brought a tray containing drinks and snacks for his relatives
"Thank you, you've all been willing to help me. I don't know what to do anymore because so far there has been no good progress from Agnes" William said
"But I feel bad, brother. Moreover, we have walked too far and it seems that sister Agnes herself still likes Brother only she is prestige and does not want to admit it" added Aira who is now sitting near William
"You know what else, if in a gentle way it can't make it soften then this is the right way" Tomi also doesn't want to miss
"We wait another week or two how he reacts, if he does not have progress, William must be ready to find an actual replacement"
"A real replacement?" Sumi's mother looked confused in the face of the conversation that made her dizzy, she did not know what they all meant
"Darling, this isn't what you see. It's just a play, William and Aira are brothers, they can't possibly be engaged" Prima told his wife, after all Sumi's mother thought about what she just heard
"So you mean all of you?" they all nodded
"Why are you hiding everything, I feel sorry for Agnes. Didn't you see how he looked at his face, he was silent and like a stranger here. And again, why couldn't I see him?" Mba Sumi hit Prima who had been holding back laughter from the look of his wife's face that looked confused
"I'm really sorry too, brother. Miss Agnes looks depressed lately and again, these few weeks she always sees a play that I myself cannot see. I felt guilty, I also saw his face that bore pain, he tried to stand strong though fragile and to the point that he left without saying goodbye to anyone" added Aira
"Don't think of it that way, so far you've become an amazingly great actress. You're acting so naturally" William praised Aira
"But until when will we continue to perform, brother?" ask Aira to William
"We'll wait a few more days, we'll give him our wedding invitations. How strong he will survive on his ego" William added
"The invitation is ready to be spread" Andreas chimed in
"Ready decorations!" Prima is not losing
"Catering and other equipment are installed!" Tomi nodded and they laughed
But not with Aira and Mbak Sumi, both of them are just head bobbing against men who act beyond reason and the limits of fairness
"Don't look at me like that, Aira. Your cousin is not as bad as you think, as long as you know, O. M. Kuncoro, Agnes' father also participated in this plan. He was in full support of what I was doing" William understood the cynical gaze from Aira
"Do you all know, Agnes' birthday is today. And the evil thing again you even surprise me with something like this" Everyone looked at Mother Sumi, they all did not know that today was my birthday because all they remembered just wanted to play a show. Sister Sumi herself also did not understand why she did not know if this was a play, moreover, the husband also did not tell me a little about this
"So Agnes's birthday today, just like my birthday?" Aira also looked more guilty
Mother Sumi nodded, William also looked surprised. He took his phone which from the morning he turned it off, he turned it on and just touched a lot of notifications that came in one of them was my birthday notification
"Astagfirullah" William patted his own tongue, he condemned the stupidity that happened to him. With a frenzy he then asked for advice to everyone who was there, he did not know what to gift me and how
"Calm down, I'll take care of everything. I'm going to ask Sofia for help, she's already familiar with Agnes. Let Sofia give it to your beloved girl" Andreas proposes, and they all agree
