"What about Aunt Maya?"
"Still the same. My mother doesn't care about me anymore. She's busy preparing for Arga's wedding."
Talking about her own mother made Ayash sad. Maya is not too willing to talk to him, especially when it comes to Prita's problems. Maya only responds when she talks about Dean and Livy. It seems that Maya really can no longer behave like she used to do to Prita.
It's not just Maya who is like that. Prita also always avoids if there is Maya. Prita thinks Maya doesn't exist. Both are like strangers.
Ayash always tries to be in the middle of being a neutral party. He wants to re-correct that broken relationship. However, it was precisely he himself who was caught in the middle.
"Why not tell everything honestly to aunty? The effect is Prita is wrong. I'm also heartbroken to hear Prita scolded by Aunt Maya."
"Talking won't change the past, will it? It does not guarantee that you can change your mindset. Moreover, there is involvement of Kak Arga as well. Not necessarily Mama believes."
"Then will you continue like this?"
"There is no solution other than this. As a husband, I will continue to protect my children and my wife as much as I can. As a child, I will continue to respect my mother. After all, Mama was the one who gave birth to and raised me the most."
"Yourselves, how are your wedding preparations going?"
"I leave it to the Raeka family. My parents are still in Singapore."
"Sir Arga really, yes, want to marry Andin?"
"Said so. I haven't seen Arga or Andin either. They're still in J's town."
Silent mood. Irgi still hesitated to tell the events of a few days ago that he had seen. He was weighing the impact if he said it. But, as a friend? it would be unfair if he didn't say what he knew.
"I've met Bayu in the hospital." finally Irgi said it too.
"Continue?"
Irgi was a little hesitant about the response Ayash gave. He looks relaxed. "You don't have a problem with that?"
"For me the most important thing now is Daniel's recovery."
Ayash again struggled on the pile of files in front of him. Actually discussing about her family problems made her chest tight. Although he looks relaxed and calm, actually his mind can not be separated from Prita and Daniel. He was very worried about both.
Brak!
Ayash's door was forcibly opened. Looking at Gino, the company's security emerged from behind the door with gasping breaths.
"Sir! Dean's missing!"
Suddenly Irgi and Ayash got up from their seats. They walked over to the security.
"Where was Dean last?" ask Ayash.
"So it was playing with me in the lobby downstairs."
"Irgi, please invite other security to check all corners of the office. Let me and a few other security guards check in the outside office."
Irgi nodded.
Ayash immediately ran into the elevator to the lower floor. Dean always makes a fuss in his office. But, this is Dean's first time ever disappearing.
Arriving in the lobby below, he invited two security people to accompany him around the company area to look for Daniel. Every corner of the building and the bushes are scrutinized in as much detail as possible. However, Dean was not yet seen. Ayash glanced towards the road. Who knows Dean's desperate to cross alone into the city park. Dean is a child of his own liking and never afraid of danger.
After fifteen minutes of searching for Dean I haven't met. Ayash returns to the lobby of the company to have security look for Daniel again inside the office.
Not long after, Irgi seemed to run carrying Dean from the left side of the building. Dean wept roaring with his bloodied left hand.
"Quick we get Dean to the hospital. He fell down the emergency stairs!"
Ayash's breath was choked. One more problem came that made his heart almost loose. Ayash followed Irgi into the parking lot.
Ayash immediately started his car while Irgi sat in the back seat still carrying Dean. Dean's crying didn't stop either. In fact, his voice raised his screams because of the pain in his wounds.
They took Dean to Citra International Hospital. Irgi runs back to take Dean to the IGD. There, Dean's wounds immediately got treatment. Both Irgi and Ayash almost fell because of Dean.
Ayash and Irgi still have to hold Dean because the child refuses to be held by doctors and nurses. He kept screaming as his wounds were cleaned and about to be sewn. Overwhelmed, doctors finally gave the sedative until Dean was unconscious and they continued the process of sewing the wound.
"Why can Dean's hand be torn like that?"
"It looks like it scratched iron when it fell from the emergency staircase."
"Oh, my God.... My knees have no energy to stand. That kid really worries me."
Ayash repeatedly sighed to calm himself. His heart rate's still pounding because of Dean.
"The boy was very worried. Breezy from the surveillance she's gone. Fortunately, me and the security went down the emergency stairs and heard her crying. The area is quiet, there is rarely anyone passing by."
One of the nurses approached them, "Excuse me, your son's wound is done we sew. He could be moved to the treatment room."
"Ah, yes. Sisters. Please place my child in room 404 of the room with my child also being treated there. Can, right?"
"Good, Sir. We'll move the father to the room."
Some nurses pushed Dean's bed into his nursery. Ayash and Irgi take different paths to get there. Because the elevator that is near the IGD room is devoted to medical personnel and patients so they have to use other elevator access.
Arriving in Daniel's room, Dean arrived earlier than Ayash and Irgi. Prita looked pale looking at Dean's presence there. He who was feeding Daniel had to stop because his head was dizzy. One sick child has made him weak, plus Dean is also sick.
Ayash sat next to Prita, hugging the woman so as not to panic.
"Why is this so? Dean why?"
"You take it easy, Dean just fell down and his hand was scratched by iron. But it's been stitched up by the doctor."
"Oh, my God... If it's okay why did Dean faint so?"
"So she couldn't stay still so the doctor gave her a sedative. You take it easy."
"How can I calm down? I think I'm gonna faint. What's wrong with our kids? I don't feel good as a mother."
Just saying that he was fainting, Prita finally fainted in Ayash's lap.
Ayash could only sigh. Lately Prita often fainted when she got news that made her shock.
