Can I Love You?

Pardon me......

When Anton is about to hit him a third time, suddenly the police rush in and stop Anton.

Datiya looked at Anton, though,

"Who are they? The cops?" inner Datiyah.

Some people walked towards Hendrik's mother, towards Hendrik and Datiyah.

"Call the ambulance, 3 people were injured."

Datiyah only heard Anton screaming to let go. After that he was unconscious.

He heard the voice of Gama.

After arriving at the hospital, the three of them were treated at the IGD, but Hendrik was taken to the operating room due to severe injuries and several fractured and broken bones.

While Hendrik's mother was not saved and died on the way to the hospital.

Gama continued to accompany Datiyah, even though he could only see from afar.

When the nurses tore off Datiyah's clothes to check her whip wound on her back. They were all shocked and silent to see the scars of Datiyah.

Gama saw the nurse's reaction and approached. He also saw the body of Datiyah who had always been covered. Gama was silent, his eyes were teary. Angry, disappointed and sad everything mixed into one.

"Since when?!? How could I not know, she has that many scars?" batin Gama's.

"Sorry sir, you should step back first" asked one of the nurses, so they are more free to provide care.

Gama retreated slowly. And sit in the waiting chair.

And look at everything that happened today.

"Sir, Hendrik's mother cannot be helped anymore. He died on that trip. Hendrik is still in surgery. What about Miss Tiyah?" Rendra.

Gama was still pensive, and nodding also shook his head at Rendra's words, busy in his own mind.

"What really happened in that house? Why and how did Tiyah become like that?"

Recalling their initial meeting after adulthood, Datiyah was indeed not as cheerful as before. But, Gama thought it was a natural thing, considering he also changed after his father died.

Remembering when they took the photo, and Datiyah did not want to wear open clothes, Datiyah who was frightened when she touched someone she did not know.

"Why all this time I did not see and realize everything that happened in front of me" said Gama slowly and rubbed his face.

"Sir, this is not at all Sir's fault."

"Datiyah's mother's family?"call a nurse.

Gama and Rendra then went forward.

"Miss Datiyah's condition is fine, and the wound has been treated and stitches. Now we're gonna move him into the room."

Gama continued to follow Datiyah all the way to the VIP room. And sat down beside Datiyah without leaving her even a little.

Mutia and Gina came too, she remained sitting next to Datiyah without moving and not even going to the toilet.

"Sister, you know? Earlier this morning Kak Tiyah shouted hysterically and broke things. And she's packed her clothes." Gina told Gama.

"Gina, we don't need to tell her now, don't add to the burden of your brother's mind. "

Mutia then took Gina away by force.

"So, you asked me to come home, because the house people told you?" ask Gama to Rendra who is still in the room.

"Sir, you can think of that next time. Now, you better eat first. Let you have the energy to. Take care of Miss", persuaded Rendra.

Gama was not hungry at all, and only thought about the current state of Datiyah.

Not long after...

" the gama? " call Datiyah slowly.

"Dad, are you awake?" said Gama brought his face closer to Datiyah.

"Sister Hendrik? Aunty? " tanya Datiyah was weak.

"You, you're fine. No one's sick, right?"

"Anton?? Where's she?" Datiya started moving his body to wake up.

"He's been arrested."

Datiyah gritted her teeth, her tears flowing. "She, it won't be long there. You don't know. What can he do."

"Silence, Tiyah. I'm gonna make him rot in jail forever."

"No... It won't be that easy. You know he has a lot of connections there. He, must have gotten out easily." She was still trying to get out of her bed.

But Gama hugged him and held off Datiyah's body. "Swstttthhh.... Sjssshhhh.. " Gama tried to calm the weeping and weakened Datiyah in her arms.

After a long period of crying, Datiyah finally fell asleep because she was still weak.

"Sir, I've brought your change of clothes. Well, you freshen up and eat."

Upon seeing Datiyah awaken, Gama was slightly relieved. He could finally take a shower and eat.

At midnight, the phone rings, and,

"Mr Gama, I'm Mala. Aira's looking for the Master."

Gama who just woke up from his sleep, saw that Datiyah was still asleep. And Gama walked slowly out of the room.

"I can't see him tonight." sighed, feeling guilty for Aira, but he also didn't want to leave Datiyah.

Gamma instantly turned off the call.

After entering the room, he saw Datiyah awaken.

"Who's calling?" tanyanya.

"Only a few people have asked about this incident."

"this hour?" tanya Datiyah was suspicious.

"If you want to see him, you can go. I don't need you here."

"Dad..." Call Gama slowly and get closer to Datiyah's bed.

"I'm sorry, who hasn't been firm about my feelings. But, I'm just really worried as a friend." Gama grabbed Datiyah's hand, but she pulled her hand back.

"I have decided to leave your home. Because what I need has been achieved. The time you have been waiting for will come. And if you explain Aira's true state, I'm sure Mama Mutia will understand and let you guys be together. " Datiyah was still heartbroken by what Gama did that morning.

"You know, now you're my choice."

"No Gama, as long as there's still Aira, and you're not really done. I don't want to be just an option for you. I'm the one who liked you first, eat me who will end this feeling."

"Although I don't know how." - Inner Datiyah.

"Better, you rest. We can talk about this when you're healthy."

"No, I don't want to talk about this anymore."

Gama took a deep breath, He must be patient now. Because he is mostly guilty.

"alright... If that is your will. " Gama also did not want to argue with the current condition of Datiyah.

He wanted to solve Anton's problem and Aira's problem first. As Datiyah said, as long as there was Aira, she knew that Datiyah would not believe her.

Datiyah closed her eyes, but did not fall asleep.

When dawn came, Gama approached Datiyah who was pretending to be asleep.

"There's something I have to take care of today, I hope you recover quickly. Ilove you. " Bisik Gama then kissed the cheeks and forehead of Datiyah.

"Aante Jihan? " gama said in surprise when he opened the door.

Datiyah was also shocked, immediately sat down and looked towards the door.
