Behind the Rain and Memories

61. Profound Grief

" We shouldn't tell mom about this problem mas, hiks" isak Sherly, Aditya's wife buried her face in the husband's shoulder. They are currently on a plane bound for Jakarta. They took the first flight. Luckily Sherly's condition is healthy and allows for flight. They were forced to leave their first son with the grandmother, Sherly's mother who happened to be visiting Bali.

" Nasi has become the porridge of the deck, we pray that the mother will soon be aware and healthy as usual," Aditya timpal put his cheek on the head of the wife.

" Well what is the business with Mr. Brandon mas, do not we have to immediately return the money? " ask Sherly again.

Aditya sighed. That is what is his burden right now. How could he replace the money taken away by their vendors, the amount was quite large, Eight hundred million. Mr. Brandon as a client has given him one week to solve this problem, he needs the money for the continuation of the event he will carry out. In the short span, it was difficult for Aditya to get such a large fund, he already offered the house as well as the car for sale. No one has been interested so far. Savings money is also not much, eroded when the pandemic first. She can't possibly spend all her remaining assets, especially Sherly's going into labor. Not to mention having to pay capital loan installments at the bank.

" Don't think about the deck, let the mas find a way out, later mas will contact friends in Jakarta, hopefully someone can help, "

Sherly nodded while praying in her heart that her husband be given ease in the problems they face.

Early in the morning Audrey had arrived at the hospital with some of the items that Alina needed and also supplies. Because it is not possible to shuttle the school, he entertained his children for a while, lucky they understand and want to be left with Madam Asti.

While waiting for Alina to take a bath, Audrey prepared the food she brought on the table in the room.

Adrian took a special room for the patient's family, though Alina only entered the room this morning because she did not want to leave Mom. He sat in front of the ICU.

No wonder despite having a bath, Alina still looks haggard because she did not sleep last night.

" Eating up you rest first deck, replace the guard brother, " said Audrey pity.

Alina did not argue, but she refused breakfast because she still did not taste, she only drank a glass of milk that had been prepared and then lay on the bed that was there. The exhaustion effect made the girl instantly fall asleep.

Seeing her sister was sound, Audrey cleaned up the food that had not been touched and then put it on the nightstand and then moved out.

Alina flinched when the alarm on her phone went off, she did indeed tune the device before going to bed earlier. He did not want to linger because he had to see a doctor to ask about the state of the mother. Ask permission to visit inside.

It turned out that the doctor had only arrived at ten in the morning, while it was still nine.

" Sir, called to face the cashier, " said a nurse approaching them.

Alina and Audrey step together. Both are in anxious mode. They do not yet have a solution if the hospital charges the next payment.

" We will return the deposit that was made yesterday, please sign here, " said the cashier on duty.

Alina and Audrey frowned not understanding.

" All financing for the care of Ranti's mother was transferred to the Mulia Jaya Corps, so there is no need to deposit or pay the costs incurred for each action on the patient," the officer concluded.

Alina knew Max was behind all this. Akh Max why are you so good, while I continue to disappoint you, Alina's mind is sad.

 " You're lucky Al, so loved by such a nice guy, you shouldn't hang his proposal, he accepts you for who Al is, you can see that sincerity in his eyes, "

Alina fell silent. He knows he's wrong for doubting Max. The man was very sincere, even though his body was far away, he was always there for Alina. One thing he would do when they met later was to apologize.

Not long after Widyawati came with Orion and Gladys, they were told by Adrian.

" Why not tell mommy son? " said Widyawati hugging Alina affectionately. He was worried about the state of his future son-in-law who looked pale.

" I'm sorry I tan, we were all panicking, so there was nothing to think about at the time" Alina said

" You are patient, your mother must be healed, Max and papi are still in Switzerland, mommy had connected to the number papi, the plan later in the afternoon they will go home, " obviously Widyawati after breaking off the hug.

Alina nodded, inwardly impatiently wanting to meet, to be honest she felt claustrophobic with all these circumstances, sad, afraid, afraid to become one. He didn't want to show it all in front of people. Not wanting to make them anxious, especially Audrey and Aditya.

" Mommy must be strong, Al" Gladys said affirmingly, Alina nodded again, it's hard to say much at this time.

Before long, Aditya and Sherly were already in the hospital, not wanting to bother his brother, Aditya did not tell you the hour of arrival, you know they have arrived. The three of them again dissolved in bitter tears. Which child is not sad when the only parent they have lies helpless. The source of power in the family was struggling in his destiny. Ever since my father died, my mother has been the focus of their hope.

" Is there anyone here named Max, "said the nurse calling

" What is Sus, is my mother conscious? " ask Alina

" The patient has just regained consciousness, his condition is weak and he keeps calling Max's name, please call him in, we hope that with the presence of the wanted person can bring the patient to full consciousness, "

" Max is abroad, and only returned later tonight sus, maybe his children who met the patient first, " Widyawati said

" I'll get permission to see a doctor,"

Before long Alina was in the ICU room, they were allowed to enter alternately.

Alina was sad to see the various equipment installed on her mother's body, the squeaking of the heart monitor device added to the gloomy atmosphere. Alina clasped mom's hand.

" Mom, this is Alina, "

The woman slowly opened her eyes, her lips twitching to say something.

Alina put her ear to her mother.

" Son, i. mother. ma. u. talk. de. ngan Max. "the flow is stammering.

" I want to say anything to Alina, Max is still in Switzerland mom, later Alina said yes, "he said softly.

Highlight the eyes of the sad mother, making Alina confused exactly what you want to convey to Max.

" Mother.no longer, i.bu.mau.meet a.yah, "

Alina shook her head, her tears were now flowing like a creek.

" Don't talk like that ma'am, I'll get well, I'll talk to Max right, Alina will try to call, "

Like a coincidence her phone rang, a video call from Max, rushing Alina answered the call.

" Max, I'm sober, she wants to talk to you, torch" said Alina. Max Nelangsa saw the state of his girl, the face was wet with tears. Alina pointed the camera at her.

" Mom, this is Max, I'm waiting for a flight permit, I don't think much of it, we'll talk at length later, " Max said the initiative to greet the future in-laws first.

" Max, mom tit. tip Alina, ba.. Max, "the mother's words made Alina even sadder, as if she was mandating Max to take care of her and her two siblings.

" I will always take care of Alina ma'am, I will also take care of the other mother's children, the mother must recover that is most important, "Max remains encouraging despite his unpleasant feelings, even though he feels bad, it was as if Ranti's mother was going to leave them.

"Te. rima k. asih Max "

Suddenly Mom gasped, her breathing went up and down, the monitor screen showed a drop in heart rate.

Alina screamed frantically "Doctor, nurse help my mother! "

" You better wait outside, critical patient, let us handle it, "sister helped Alina out.

" Strong mother ma'am, please fight, don't leave us ma'am" isak Alina, Max who still hears Alina's voice because the video call is still connected rubbing her face rough. Heard Alina was hysterical she was crumbling.

" What happened Al, hiks" Audrey hugged her sister.

" Critical mother, she had a chance to talk to Max, she left a message to Max, now she's being handled, torch"

" O Lord, please heal mother, "sigh Aditya pleaded. He hugged his two brothers to strengthen each other.

Everyone there is also in sadness, while Adrian, who has returned to the hospital, is talking seriously using Alina's mobile phone.

Moments later the doctor came out with a lethargic face.

" Dok what about my mother? " ask Aditya to the man with the glasses and the white coat.

The doctor sighed, "We've tried, Ranti's mother is gone, "he said heavily, then patted Aditya's shoulder as a sign of strengthening.

" Mom..no, no, I don't go, so "Alina is getting hysterical while Audrey faints.
