Happy reading & ''Double

Eps earlier.

"Thank you, Renata, you gave me enough of a chance" Jamie said, holding Renata's hand.

"Mommy and what are the doctors doing here?" Celia asked, whose eyes were fixed on Renata and Jamie's hands.

And without Renata knowing her mother-in-law was not far from where Celia stood and saw Renata's proximity to Jamie's doctor with a probing gaze.

Renata spontaneously removes Jamie's hand.

In her little heart she felt guilty towards Celia. Feeling like he betrayed his son.

"Emmm mommy was chatting with the doctor, asking about Daddy. Did Celia meet daddy yet ? Daddy is awake, you know," said Renata as he stood up to Celia and grabbed her in his lap.

"Mommy crying?" Celia asked with a look on Renata's face.

"Yes mommy is crying, mommy is moved glad daddy is awake," she replied lying.

"Daddy, keep looking for mommy. Re. re. so aja said daddy," said Celia while mimicking her daddy.

"Princess's happy daddy's up ?" Jamie asked Celia's doctor while rubbing her head.

Celia nodded her head, and then yawned from drowsiness.

"Like her sleepy Celia, I'll put her to bed again" Renata said.

"Are you going back to the hotel? Or is it here to accompany Fabian? " Ask Jamie's doctor.

"Emmm I don't know yet, look at it later. Jamie I better get back to Fabian's room. Everyone's gonna be looking for me,"

"Yes, sure. Be strong Renata's. I'd like to rest but you don't worry Fabian is still under surveillance. I'll be back when needed" Jamie said, saying goodbye.

"Thank you Jamie," Renata said with a deep, sweet look and then left Jamie's doctor with Celia in his arms.

"Where are you son?" Fabian asked her mother when Renata entered her husband's room still being cared for.

"I've met Jamie's doctor, me. me. me. asking how Fabian mam is," replied Renata stammering who somehow felt her heart pounding when her mother-in-law asked.

Mami Fabian felt there was something else with her daughter-in-law. He was a little surprised after seeing the closeness of Renata and her nephew doctor Jamie, but what Renata said made sense. Renata could have discussed the health of her son Fabian. Therefore he tried to remove the negative thoughts from his head. Moreover, Renata is a good woman and has never done anything despicable while being her son-in-law.

"Yes, Jamie's doctor also said Fabian will continue to be monitored. Mami is sure things will get better. Oh yeah, looks like Fabian's always looking for you. Here Celia, let the fat mommy go" said her mother-in-law as she took over Celia from Renata's embrace.

Renata approached Fabian whose eyes were closed. His feelings are still chaotic not out of concern.

It hurts, that's what Renata feels right now. It was like yelling, cursing and scratching Fabian's face.

Asking for an explanation of all the things Fabian has done behind his back but there's no way he's negligent now isn't it ?

With Fabian slowly opening his eyes, he smiled seeing Renata by his side.

"Sorry.sorry Renata" said Fabian weakly.

"Sssstt rest first Fabian. You have to heal first" replied Renata smilingly trying to hide all her pain.

Fabian looked into Renata's eyes with his eyes.

Renata no longer calls her dear as usual. His heart felt wry.

Fabian tries to reach Renata's hand in his hand but Renata avoids by pretending to rub his own arm.

"Is the AC not too cold?" Ask to divert the conversation.

Again Renata's rejection made Fabian's heart feel wry.

"Fabian, I'm back at the hotel. Celia was already sleepy after all it was late at night. There's Hendrik and Mami might be waiting here. I'll be back tomorrow. You rest" Renata told Fabian.

Fabian did not answer.

This woman used to call her dear now no longer.

This woman used to always accompany him to spend the night now saying goodbye.

"It seems like my true suffering is about to begin," Fabian's inner self inwardly.

"Don't think like Fabian. You have to heal" Renata said as if he could read Fabian's mind.

Renata lowered her head and kissed Fabian on the forehead with a grievous heart full of wounds.

Fabian closed his eyes enjoying the touch of Renata's lips on his forehead. In my heart, I hope the time to stop for Fabian to enjoy this moment longer.

"I'm leaving" said Renata, leaving Fabian.

One tear drop came back to the corner of Fabian's eye without Renata being seen.

***

The sunlight greeted through the thin white curtains, slightly blinding the eyes and it made Renata wake up. Renata stretched her body to reduce her fatigue.

Beside him fell asleep Celia with the thick blanket of the hotel. Celia in the arms. "Mommy has Celia, mommy must be strong" whispered Renata at the top of her son's head.

"Wake up baby, we have to meet daddy," said Renata while stroking her daughter's back trying to wake her up.

Hearing daddy's words, Celia immediately opened her eyes despite still looking sleepy.

"I've woken up mommy, I want to meet daddy" she replied with a perfectly engraved smile.

And Renata just smiled bitterly realizing how much Celia loved Fabian so much. Then what if one day Renata had to move away from Fabian's side? What should he tell Celia?

***

Jamie's doctor has been in Fabian's room being treated. Now Fabian has occupied the inpatient room due to his improved condition.

Renata entered the room holding Celia's hand. The two pairs of eyes looked so mesmerized by Renata's presence. They are Fabian and Jamie's doctor.

Renata tries to hide her pain in the presence of Fabian. While on Jamie's doctor, Renata tried to ignore the full view of the puja.

Celia splashed into Fabian's arms and spoiled.

Today Fabian will do a thorough examination. And if the results are good will soon be moved to the Hospital in Jakarta for further treatment.

***

Tonight Renata and her mother-in-law are sitting in front of Jamie's doctor.  Listen to all observations and examination results.

"Everything is showing good results" Jamie said.

"There's just a little bit of a problem, as I said before the left Fabian's shin cracked maybe because of a great impact. Make Fabian will have trouble walking," Jamie's doctor explained at length.

Renata is shocked, and mother Fabian looks even more panicked.

"Why is my son going to suffer paralysis, Jamie ?" Fabian asked her mother with tears that had run down her cheeks.
