BETWEEN THE CEO AND MAFIA 2

Daniel Wakes up

Prita was sobbing in the hospital garden area. Despite the attention of those passing by, he was already unconcerned. His fortitude has been lost in a row hit by problems that never finished. Ayash sat next to her accompanying without saying anything. He let her cry and became a spectacle for people.

"I'm sorry" Ayash said after Prita began to control her emotions. The crying has stopped.

"I'm sorry I can't keep you from hurtful words."

"We're just getting divorced."

I don't know why those words were so smoothly lurched from Prita's mouth. It feels like he can no longer survive especially with the attitude of Mama Maya.

"Never say anything like that. You are currently emotional."

"Mama won't let me live in peace before I get away from you."

"I'll make Mama understand."

"Mama won't understand!" snapped Prita.

"Mama could even discuss such a thing while Daniel was still critical. Mama won't accept Daniel until anytime. Mom hated Daniel. And now Mama hates me too."

"Then what about me? What about Dean and Livy? You want to give up on maintaining our happy family just because of Mama?"

Prita cupped her palms to her face. She took a deep breath, "You never know what you've treated me like at home. What I do is always wrong in my eyes. The way I take care of my children, the way I treat you as a husband, and there are still other little things that do not go unnoticed by Mama's comments. I've been trying to hold him. As long as Mama doesn't bother Daniel, I'll accept all of Mama's treatment."

"Mama couldn't have been like that to you. He likes you a lot."

Prita.

"Okay, it's possible that right now Mama can't accept. But there's still me, Livy, and Dean who love Daniel so much. You just focus on that."

"I told you, Mama won't stop here. Mama will continue like this until you let me go."

"I don't want to let you go."

"I can no longer refrain from the words of my mother. I don't want to be depressed. I just want to focus on taking care of Daniel. I want to spend more time with him before his illness gets worse."

"Taa.... "

"Of course, we both heard it from the doctor."

"Maybe Daniel only has 5 years left."

Ayash clasped Prit's hand, "Daniel will not die now. He will grow up and even grow old. And we'll keep her company until the end of the rest of our lives."

Drrt.... Drrt...

"Attent."

Ayash took his phone. It was Irgi's name who called him.

"Why, Ir?"

"Quick back. Daniel's conscious."

"really?" between believing and not believing in Irgi's words.

"Yes, and he's looking for you."

"Why?" asked Prita who was curious to see Ayash so excited by his phone.

"Daniel is conscious" he said with a big smile.

Ayash turns off his phone and pulls Prita's hand to walk with him to Daniel's treatment room.

When they arrived, there was already Doctor Hansen and the nurse there.

"Papa.... Mama.". "cried Daniel with joy.

Sontak made the two old men immediately run to hug him. Prita's tears flowed so happy.

"Papa.. last night Daniel dream we managed to catch a big fish."

Daniel seemed enthusiastic about telling stories. It was as if he had fully healed. He thought for two days in a coma, he was just asleep and dreaming. The people around him were very worried.

"Oh, huh? You dream we're fishing together?"

Daniel nodded, "I also helped Papa pull his fishing line because Papa was not strong. It's big so Papa needs my help."

"Look at your son already this cheerful. It looks like Daniel will be home soon" said Dr. Hansen.

"Is Daniel really sick?" ask Daniel plain.

"Daniel's.... Daniel forgot that yesterday fell into the abyss?" ask Doctor.

Daniel plays his eyeballs. He tried to remember what happened before.

"Oh, yes. I'm catching a dragonfly with Dean keep falling."

"ah! It hurts." Daniel accidentally pressed his own head.

"Be careful, Daniel. The pain in your head hasn't healed yet."

"Yes Papa, Daniel doesn't know."

Daniel's behavior again made the laughter in the room break.

"Eh, Daniel's up, huh?"

Reonal came into the room holding Dean. Followed behind there is Maya who holds Livy, Pak Ahmad, and Leta. Prita threw away his face because he still remembered the incident earlier.

"Omm.... Opa.

"Then I go out first. Daniel, take care of your health, yeah."

"Thank you, Om."

"I'll excuse you, Mr. Reonal and Ms. Maya."

"Thank you, Hansen."

Doctor Hansen and the nurse accompanying him came out. Raeka holds Irgi's arm. It seems like they will still see the continuation of the family drama.

"Daniel, get healthy fast, yeah. So you can play with your sisters again."

"Yes, Opa. I'll definitely be cured."

"Smart kid."

"Mama and Papa will take Livy and Dean back to the mansion. You guys here will also be most busy taking care of Daniel. So we'll take care of Dean and Livy."

Prita does not like to hear Maya's words. She felt she could still take care of her other children despite having to take care of Daniel who was sick.

"Let them here, Ma. We rented the next room for them. After all, here are Mr. Ahmad and Leta who are taking care of them."

"Mama can take care of them too, you take it easy. You guys just focus on Daniel."

"But the kids can't get far from Prita. Mama will be overwhelmed by herself facing them."

"No, my mom took care of you as a kid. Mama can handle them."

"Dean, do you really want to come home with Oma Opa?" ask Ayash to Dean.

Dean shook his head, "I want to be here with Brother Daniel" he replied innocently.

"So he said Dean wanted to come with Oma home. Oma has a gift for you."

"I don't want to, Oma. I'm going with Brother Daniel. We'll play together."

Maya looks upset because before she goes to the room, she convinced Dean to go home with her. But the boy changed his mind again.

"That's right, Ma.... Let the kids stay here. Mama Papa just go home and rest."

"Leta, take Livy from Mama."

Leta's approaching Maya. Maya is forced to hand Livy over to her nanny.

"Dean here come with Papa. Opa wants to go home."

Dean descends from Reonal's sling to Ayash.

"Yes already then, papa mama went home first. If there's anything, just call home."

"Yes, Pa. Thank you." Thank you."

"Daniel, opa oma go home first, yes."

"Yes, Opa. Be careful on the road."

Reonal rubbed Daniel's head gently and took his wife home. Maya is still upset. He failed to bring his two grandchildren home. Moreover, her husband, Reonal, also told her not to interfere in Ayash's household affairs. How can he not interfere if it turns out that Prita has been lying to him all this time?
