Behind the Rain and Memories

48. Travelling

It has been six months since the accident that hit Alina happened, severe injuries suffered by the girl, especially in the head that hit Alina unconscious until now, if Alina's medical term is in a coma.

The doctors who treated Alina declared only the miracle they needed, but Max never gave up, he remains optimistic about bringing in the best team of doctors to help the girl recover given Alina's condition does not allow to fly out of the country. Unfortunately all the efforts made have not shown results at all, Alina remained faithfully closed her eyes.

" Please don't punish me like this Lord, I can't afford it, just give my life to Alina, let me take her place" Max lamented in prayer.

Anyone who saw the condition of the girl would not have the heart and shed tears, Alina's slender body is now getting thinner, more thin, the once fresh radiant face changed with a deathly pale hue not to mention the variety of life-supporting medical objects that stuck all over his body.

Even Ranti the mother who always hoped for healing for her child has now revealed that God wants to take her daughter, not because she does not love, which mother could see her daughter lying uncertainly between life and death.

He also could not bear to see Max's state, Max's love was so great for Alina, the man was always faithful to be at his daughter's side, all the energy, thought, material he poured out for Alina's recovery. Sometimes Max forgets to take care of his own health.

Ranti often found Max crying alone, removing the tightness that squeezed each talk to the doctor about the development of the girl. He knew Max was starting to lose hope, but the man was very smart to hide his desperation.

Ranti does not want Max to sacrifice his future for Alina, the man's journey is still long, Max has the right to achieve his own happiness.

They both know, Alina only has a small percentage to heal, even if she recovers it is certain that Alina will be disabled for life, Ranti does not want to increase Max's suffering by letting him continue to be near Alina.

" Are you sure of this decision" Audrey asked repeatedly as she expressed her intention to take Alina away, away from their current lives.

" I don't have a choice, son, if Alina hears what I'm saying right now, I'm sure she agrees,"

" Then home how, and I want to take Alina where, I know for myself how Max, he will not stay silent" said Audrey

"Don't worry about the house, I'll also go where Max wouldn't think of, "

" But, "

" Max is leaving for Germany next week, that's when I'm going to execute all these plans, I need your and Aditya's help,"

Audrey no longer refutes, on the one hand she disagrees because Max and Alina love each other but on the other hand the mother is also right, until when Max should wait, until when, and if the worst is likely to happen, Max is ready to accept Alina as she is.

In the end Audrey complied with the mother's request to prepare everything including the departure documents. Ranti decides to take Alina to Malacca, where she will live with Sharifah, the cousin of Alina's father. Sharifah only lives alone because her husband is dead, and her children live abroad. After Ranti contacted him some time ago she welcomed Ranti's intentions, after all her residence was close to one of the famous hospitals, so they are ready at any time if Alina needs medical help even though Ranti herself decided to treat Alina at home.

" Mom, I'm tipping Alina, if it wasn't for my work not going to go," Max said with a sad look at Alina, Ranti sighed, this is what she was worried about, Max is so afraid that every time he leaves Alina, and it is not good for his mind, Max will lose focus and will affect the work, while his family, especially Mulia Jaya, is in desperate need of the man.

" Max, I must take care of Alina, Alina must also be fine, which is important now you just focus on the same job yes," advised Ranti sage.

Max nodded then looked back at the girl lying on top of the gurney.

" Dear, I'm leaving yes, you don't miss, not for a week, take care of yourself, and don't keep your eyes closed, promise yes after I go home you have to wake up," smirking Max with teary eyes, Ranti who listened to it tried hard to hold back her sadness.

" Hopefully you will understand the decision of the mother later Max, forgive the mother," the woman's inner self is bitter.

Max kissed Alina's forehead deeply for longer than he used to do like a premonition of losing a much loved one.

After making sure Max had left, Ranti immediately contacted Audrey and Aditya who indeed since Alina was sick often back and forth Jakarta.

They were preoccupied with various purposes, including hospital permits, the doctor who handled Alina also did not hold back because this had become the decision of the family. Although he had asked for Max's approval, Ranti cunningly gave a strong reason until the doctor believed it just like that. Ranti manipulated her departure in a statement she said would take her daughter to Jogjakarta, the fact she was taking her overseas, after all the flight to Malacca did not take long so it made no difference, the doctor believed it without asking further and immediately signed a letter of approval.

Ranti did have to spend all the last assets she had, including mortgaging her husband's estate, this move drained a lot of funds, especially the cost of medical equipment, etc, hiring a nurse yourself not to mention having to charter half the contents of the plane. But he was sincere, this was all for the good of Alina and Max.

" I'm sorry, mom, it's been a hassle, "

" Don't talk like that ma'am, Alina is also our sister, all the best for her we definitely support" Aditya replied.

Audrey nodded, though in her heart she kept a million pangs, her household was rocked by a tempest, but she hid them all because she didn't want to make her mother and Aditya think.

" I'm sorry you can't take us, the kids aren't there to look after,"

" Us not papa, from here the mother has been able to handle her own, put a hug kiss for the grandchildren of the mother, "Ranti alternately hugged the two children.

When the plane took off, Ranti could no longer hold back the tears that had wanted to come out, a feeling of guilt ambushed her, she said, but he knew this was the best option to let Max continue to expect his daughter was the same as pushing the man to a false hope that somehow took how long to materialize, maybe after this Max would be disappointed, he said, but he was sure Max could rise again.

Max entered the hospital courtyard in a hurry, he hastened his return, these few days he was agitated, his mind was constantly on Alina, he said, he could not connect with the video call because Ranti's hape bu was damaged, even though Ranti's mom had made sure Alina was fine, Max still could not shake the concussion, but he was not, with all his efforts he got the job done as quickly as possible.

And the turmoil became more real when he found Alina was not in his room,

" Sister, sister, did you move Alina, "she yelled at the sister who passed by.

" Sorry sir, this room is empty from yesterday, the patient has been brought home by his family,"

" What do you mean, I am his family, I am his fiancee, how could I not be told! " attack Max loudly until the sound echoed along the corridor

Nurse was nervous to see Max's anger, Adrian trying to calm his best friend.

" Let's relax, Max, we'll see a doctor to find out,"

Max does not refuse, they rush to the doctor's room that handles Alina.

" I never agreed if Alina was taken away, especially if taken out of town, how could you allow it without telling me first huh!" Max could no longer hold back his emotions,

" But his mother assured me that if all was known to you sir, she said you handed all the decisions to her because you would be in Germany for a long time" The doctor defended himself.

Max restores his hair in frustration, what exactly is Ranti's plan, without wasting time Max immediately asks his people in Jogja to find Alina's whereabouts at Audrey's house, while waiting for the news he immediately went towards Alina's house to look for another clue .

And there he only met Ma'am Asti, the middle-aged woman gave an envelope, a letter from Bu Ranti, and,.

Max immediately opened the contents of the letter, his eyes stared at the nanar on the paper and as soon as his body weakened, he fell on the floor.

Aaaargh!!!

" Max, what's wrong with you?" Adrian crouched down and picked up the paper lying on the floor, then read carefully, he understood why Max was like that, along with the phone coming in on his phone.

"They are not in Jogja" hissed Adrian told.
