The eagle clasped Erat Abi's hand lying helplessly on the hospital bed. His pale face seemed to cut his heart. The soul carver of his body had been lying helplessly with a few infusion hoses and his breathing apparatus. The fear of losing the man made him stupefied in tears.
"Father.wake up. Me and Mitha came for papa." he said in a trembling voice. Somehow many years he ignored the man for a pique for raising Paramitha as their child for no apparent reason. He also accused Mitha of being the child of Abi's affair with another woman without asking her or hearing her explanation.
"Pa, wakeup. Mama is gone. Does Papa want to leave me alone? where is my promise to always take care of me? wake up.don't go after mom. Papa's job is not done. Why despair like this? mama would be sad if papa was like this. At least give me time to apologize to you, pa!!" yelled frustrated eagle. Mitha who heard her husband's screams roared in. Hugged her husband tightly, and buried the grieving face in her arms. The eagle sobbed uncontrollably, not much different from Mitha's expression which also could not hold back tears. His tears had even fallen soaked the Eagle's head. The door opened again as Grandpa Hans walked in. An exception for coma patients who should only be entered by one person. Once again, it is money that has power over everything.
Grandfather Hans approached his son-in-law, looking at him coldly. Eagles know his grandfather did not like his papa so much because it was considered to separate him from his favorite daughter. But seeing the grandfather's efforts to provide the best treatment to his father made him have to think again about how he felt about the father.
"You and you, Abhimanyu suryaatmaja, listen to what this old man has to say" Hans said in a heavy voice. He even clasped Abi's fingers firmly before continuing his words.
"It's true I haven't liked you in thirty years. But seeing the love of my daughter so great to you, I wanted to know what kind of man you are that I realized that no man could be as patient and sincere as you. Listen, you must wake up for Maria's last message. Do what my daughter wants as you've kept all her requests so far. This old man is already very sorry. Are you going to add to this regret again?"
"What...what's your mom's last request opa?" this time it was the Eagle who wanted to know. Her mother loved her father so much, it was a reality. But seeing the opinion that was so persistent to say about the last message of his mother made his curiosity thrashed. Mitha rushed to pull the chair so that Hans' grandfather could sit well there.
"You can see, no, Mary's choice was never wrong." a smile full of feeling forced to shadow the corner of Hans's lips as Mitha watched her closely. The eagle just nodded. There is nothing wrong with Mitha. He was the one who was wrong for not being able to digest his feelings.
"Your mother wants Abi to marry Malika, your aunt."
"Aunty???? that can't be opa!!" shangkal Eagle fast. He knew that Maria had wanted to match Abi with Zahra and bring him to London so they could be close. In fact...Abi is not interested in him at all. Then why now even match her with her aunty? The eagle shook strongly.
"What is impossible Lang? Your aunt is divorced from her husband. Papa Richard was married to someone else until he had two children without Malika's knowledge. Truly a wicked man." Hans' hands clenched firmly. His face was disillusioned. All this time he had misjudged his daughter-in-law. The man whom he considered to be from a rich family, noble and educated descendants even hurt his youngest daughter also brought running away the company money he managed. The perfect crime.
"What can't?"
"Opa.papa just loves mom. He will not be able to share his life with other women. I know that for sure." Serried the fiery Eagle. He did not want his father to be more depressed and caused his heart to return to trouble because of a request from a deceased person. No. They can't be that selfish. What would his father's extended family say in Indonesia if they knew his son was a pawn in the Larsons family chess game???
"There's something you should know, son...." Grandfather Hans took a deep breath and exhaled strongly, pressing down on his heart. His eyes are back in the fog.
"The one your father loved was Malika, not Maria."
"Grandfather don't make it up. I've even heard straight from papa's lips if they're desperate to elope because they love each other." Hans' grandfather chuckled at the Eagle's explanation.
"Not eloped son.but Abi was forced to take your mother because of Malika's request who continued to beg Abi to marry her brother huh. Let's be the one I betrothed to Barry, Richard's father at the time, but he's already fallen in love with Abi. He even tried to kill himself twice because he knew Abi was in a relationship with Malika . Maria.he's been blinded by this love of your father."
"But it can't be opa..."
"That might be Lang. You should know too. Grandfather hated your mother because her selfishness separated Malika from Abi until your aunty had to live a hard life by marrying Barry, replacing Maria. And your father is a stupid man who has also blinded his love for Malika to absolutely no stand. This man spent his whole life making your mother happy to keep her promise to Malika. You think opa's not monitoring them? Opa knows everything. But opa knew better when she met him in person. Your father is probably the most stupid man in the world, but he is also a true man who always keeps his promises. He always treated Mary like a goddess, pretending to love her until her death. Maria.hopefully you get the best spot on His side, son." The eagle sat weakly in his seat. Staring at the man lying helplessly in front of him was unsettling. All this time he's been too mean to her.
"Papa awake. Give me a chance to apologize." And again the handsome man sniffled.
