Behind the Rain and Memories

47. It's Time

Alina had difficulty moving her legs, she was glued to the spot staring at the nanar at the scene that made the tightness, it felt mixed into one. Not knowing what to say, happy or sick.

Wishing everything was just an illusion like his nightmare back then. Moments after seconds he waited patiently, minutes changed but the shadow did not go away until the surrounding sounds made Alina aware that the illusion was real.

Bryan Delano Pratama, the figure who hid behind the veil of death, now inevitably had to appear, the wife a moment ago experienced a great contraction. He had just arrived at the mansion where his wife lived. Just introducing himself to the husband and wife who welcomed his arrival, the hysterical screams of Adinda echoed making the whole house panic and scatter over.

" Dinda why are you?" bryan asked anxiously to see his wife sitting at the bedside grimacing her stomach. Still far from the actual Hpl, but predictions can not be used as a benchmark.

" Your water broke baby!" exclaimed the middle-aged woman observing the clear flow of Adinda's legs. If Bryan is not wrong he is Widyawati, his aunt Adinda who is none other than Max's mother. Adinda has indeed shown her family photos so she has known the face even though she has never met directly

" We're taking the hospital now tan" Aunt Widyawati nodded and gave Bryan room to hold Adinda.

" Papi will prepare the car" said the middle-aged man who is none other than Hardi, his father Max.

Bryan was a little confused to face this awkward atmosphere, but the hardness of the heart of Adinda who suddenly wanted to give birth in Indonesia made him unable to refuse, Adinda had a thousand ways to make it melt. Everything became inevitable, maybe in a while she would meet another. Just thinking about it made Bryan dizzy, he could only resign maybe it was time.

On the way Bryan did not forget to contact his mother and also Sarah who from yesterday afternoon had arrived in Jakarta but they stayed at a star hotel. The plan is new today they will be in touch with the Adinda family together.

Until the nearest hospital, doctors and nurses in the ER took action. Families are asked to wait outside until paramedics finish preparing everything for labor. Because there is already an opening, the possibility of Adinda can undergo a normal delivery process.

A nurse asked the patient's husband to fill the administration considering they had never checked up at the hospital, lucky one of the doctors referred by doctors in Singapore did work there. So Adinda can get the best service. Just as they expected.

In the middle of his shoes unconsciously Bryan met a face with someone who noticed him earlier. Bryan was stunned, his body stiffened. His blood circulation seemed to have stopped. Sweat runs down his temple. Not expecting the figure he hoped he would not meet was precisely the first to find him. The world is really narrow. Among many other hospitals why the girl is also here, even this location is said to be quite far from where she lives.

" Alina," that was all they said next, they kept looking at each other, a longing bursting into the man's chest, but his common sense was still left and Bryan rushed to the gurney of the wife who had just come out of the ER to be taken to the delivery room. Bryan inevitably went inside to accompany her, even though on one side he wanted to talk to Alina, explaining everything. Honey the timing is not right. Something more important now.

It hurt to see the wound implied in Alina's eyes, "I'm sorry Al," her inner voice along with the door that had been closed tightly.

Alina was stunned, it was hard to believe if people who were believed to have died were still alive, even looking fit. And most painful of all, the man was the husband of Adinda, the cousin of his own lover. What kind of fate is this, as if life is playing tricks on his feelings.

Alina began to digest them one by one, her memories drifting back on the day of the funeral.

" I'm sorry, brother, we can't wait for my brother to wake up from fainting, Bryan's stitching marks seeped so we decided to finish his funeral right away,"

" But let me see it for the last time Sar, please,"

" Something that has been closed is not good to open again, son, you have to learn to mengikhlaskan," added Aunt Merry, his mother Bryan.

Alina was speechless, and accepted whatever Bryan's family had decided to do, letting go of the most beloved without even having a chance to say goodbye.

" Dear, are you here too?" widyawati asked, because it was raging with Alina's mind until it was unconscious with the surrounding situation.

" Yes tan, I was accompanying the consul Gladys, "

" Ooh, how's Gladys doing, son,"

" It's been a lot better Tan,"

" Thankfully, she must have been very bored for almost a month back and forth to the hospital,"

Alina forced herself to smile.

" Adinda already wants brojol, now she's in the same husband," explained the middle-aged woman sumringah.

Alina miris, everything became clear. Bryan is married to Adinda, mutating in Adinda's pregnancy can certainly be the cause of the destruction Alina began.

" Bryan is still alive ma'am" explained Alina with teary eyes, the girl trying hard to hold back the crying. It's not like throwing away tears just for people who never care about themselves.

Ranti was flabbergasted to hear her daughter's words. He listened carefully to Alina's story that just flowed. For Alina nothing needs to be covered when it needs to be the whole world knows how much of a jerk Bryan is.

" What are you going to do, son,"

Alina smiled cynically, "i will follow her game, if necessary I will make calculations with them, just look at them will regret having played around with Alina,"

Ranti is quite understanding of what Alina says, but revenge is not a good solution, especially if Alina takes advantage of Max.

" I think there's no point in getting revenge, son, that I want you to move on, don't you already have a partner, each of you, just think of Bryan's cunning as a blessing because then you're finally reunited with Max,"

Recalling Max, Alina circulated a conscious gaze from the fainting she was already in this room and the person she first saw was only mother.

" Max is out, he was the one who took care of you, when mom came he immediately said goodbye,"

" Where's ma'am?"

Ranti turned her shoulders. Alina frowned, she knew very well how Max was. There's no way that guy left her for no reason, especially she hasn't been sober. Curious about what the man did. Alina came down from the gurney.

" Where are you going, son?"

" I'm gonna go find Max ma'am,"

" You're still weak wait a minute, just back away,"

Alina insists on making Ranti inevitably follow her daughter's steps, Alina walks towards the delivery room, maybe Max is there, but there is no one and she asks the sister, ' she said , the girl in white clothes explained that Adinda had given birth and was transferred to the VIP room of mother and child.

"Udah Al, back to where Max had come back," said Ranti again, Alina had no choice, she did not want to meet the others at least for now. At the same time he met Tirta.

" Wanted from earlier it doesn't know here, Gladys is done and we want to go home now,"

Alina just remembered her purpose in this hospital, meaning she fainted long enough, fortunately she asked Tirta for help earlier to pick up Gladys when they were done.

" Sister first with Gladys I still have the same business mom, oh yes mom, introduce this brother Tirta, brother Gladys,"

Ranti shook the hand of the young man who nodded politely, she had already heard a lot about Gladys and had already visited him while being treated but had only met the older sister this time.

" I saw Max at the hospital with a few people, it seemed like there was something serious they were talking about so I kept coming over, said my greetings" Tirta said before passing.

Alina thanked him for the information he got she immediately ran towards the direction in question, leaving the exhausted Ranti following her daughter..

From a distance, Alina sees Max getting involved in a fistfight with Bryan, Bryan's condition is arguably not good, because the man did not retaliate at all. Only Sarah kept screaming hysterically but no one was huffing.

Alina continued to run, intending to stop the two men without noticing the situation she crossed the road, suddenly the girl bounced away once a minibus hit her body mercilessly.

" Yarineaaaa"
