BETWEEN THE CEO AND MAFIA 2

The Fight at the Hospital

Prita slowly opened her eyes. The first sight he saw was a white ceiling. His head still felt a little dizzy and his body was limp. He remembered that he had lost consciousness when he met Dr. Hansen.

"You're sober? Do you still feel dizzy?" ask Ayash.

"Where are the kids?" instead of answering Ayash's question, Prita asks about her children.

"Livy is playing. Dean is." too."

Prita tried to sit himself down. Ayash. Prita could see Livy playing with Leta on the floor covered in carpet. Next to his bed, there was Dean lying down while playing his robots.

"Daniel?"

"Daniel is in the next room. There was Mr. Ahmad guarding him. You just calm down. I was just there too."

"Is he conscious?"

"Yet. But the condition is stable we do not need to worry. Trust the doctor too. It is better now that you eat, so that you can take care of the children. If you pass out like you were ready to take care of the kids?"

"Want me a bribe?"

"No. Let me eat alone."

Ayash takes a tray of food in front of Prita. "Eat."

Prita started feeding her food. He was not very appetizing, but he forced himself to keep eating. True what Ayash said, he must be healthy because there are three small children who still need him.

Chequek!

The door sounds open. Mama Maya comes with Papa Reonal. Their faces looked very anxious. Prita doesn't like seeing Maya coming. His heartache about the matter of the adopted child is still there.

"Oh, Oh my God. I trembled as Ayash told me that Daniel and Dean had fallen into the abyss. Dean, honey... Are you okay?" Maya immediately rushed to hug Dean who was sitting on his bed.

"Your body to these abrasions and a lot of bruises. Does it still hurt?"

Dean shakes.

"You'll have to keep Dean's check, who knows there's an internal wound."

"Already, Ma. The doctor checked everything" Ayash replied.

"Where's daniel?" ask Reonal.

"There's in the next room. Ahmad's guarding her."

"Then papa went to the next room first, wanted to see Daniel."

"Yes, Pa."

"Mama was here, Pa. Still wanna go with Dean."

Reonal went out to Daniel's.

"This is the story of how did your two children fall into the abyss? Play all the way to a place of danger." Maya starts nagging. He could not bear to hear his grandchildren why.

"It's an accident, Ma. No one expected something like this to happen. They were also children, not yet knowing the things that could harm them."

***** eating Prita tastes disappear. As a son-in-law he felt constantly cornered and was considered not to be good at caring for children. Although Mama Maya did not directly blame him, but because of Prita's sensitive feelings she felt that she was being scolded.

"This is why else Leta could be here. Don't let this happen because of her too."

Leta who was initially still cheerful accompanied Livy to play her face turned cheap. The guilt he felt came back. He realized, indeed the incident was because he was less alert to guard Daniel and Dean. When the two children played, he was busy collecting wildflowers to be strung together into a crown. Leta deserves to be blamed.

"Mama fired Leta because she wasn't good at looking after Livy. You guys re-employed him. It's repeated again, right now? What if Daniel is unconscious? Will you not regret it?"

"Mama, this is a hospital."

Prita glanced at Leta. His back seemed to shake. It seemed like the young lady was crying while holding back the sobbing. He just stared at the wall, not daring to look at him or Maya.

"Leta, your responsibility! If anything happens to Daniel, I'll report it to the police!"

"Mama! It's not Leta's fault!" snapped Prita.

Only once could she speak in such a high tone in front of her in-laws. Everyone was stunned when Prita spoke. Especially Maya, Prita was always polite and meek in front of her. Although sometimes Maya blurted out scathing words, Prita never denied. This time, Prita dared to speak in a high tone to defend a nanny?

"If it's not Leta's fault then whose fault is it? You're a mother but you're not worried about your son at all, are you? Mama like this is also worried about them, you yell at mama like that."

Ayash immediately stepped forward to pull his mother out of the room.

"Already, Ma. It's a hospital. Why are you looking for a storm here?"

"Who's looking for a storm? Mama is worried about the kids. Moreover, they were in the hands of an imprecise person like Leta. Don't you care about your kids?"

"Ayash said it was an accident, not Leta's fault. Unless Leta deliberately pushed them into the abyss, it could only be called a criminal act."

"Delivery is also something that cannot be forgiven. And again, why could your wife be like that? He was yelling at Mom, right? Is your wife also insane after successfully taking you away from your mama's mansion?"

Ayash rubbed his face rough. He could no longer bear the patience of his mother. But considering Maya is her mother, Ayash still tries to keep her speech so as not to hurt her.

"Ma, the one who asked to leave the mansion was me, not Prita. Please, let us arrange our own household. We're all grown up to make our own decisions."

"What kind of adult decisions? Like hiring Leta, the guy you fired? That was a fatal decision!"

"Ma.... "

"Already, already.... Mama wants to see Daniel's condition first."

Maya leaves Ayash and enters Daniel's treatment room. There was already Mr. Agus and Reonal who were chatting.

"How's it going, Pa?"

"It's still unconscious."

Maya sees Daniel lying in the treatment bed. On his hand was attached an infusion hose and a hose for blood transfusion. Daniel's head was bandaged. His nose is also still attached to an oxygen hose.

Although Maya had been less close to Daniel, but seeing the condition of the small child had to be fitted with medical equipment that made him feel empathy. The small body that used to look agile to play now rolled helplessly in the hospital room.

He held that small, powerless hand. Maya's tears are falling. He felt regretful all this time being less kind to Daniel. However, Ayash has said that Daniel is his son. But he was still suspicious just because Daniel had no resemblance at all to his father.

"Wake, Son. I'll buy you a lot of toys."
