Cassandra Loving

Congratulations and Unsafety

Pras had opened his car door but he could not bear to go out and let Cassandra cry alone in the car.

Therefore, as soon as his papa arrived before him, Pras just stared as if asking for time. Arik looked at Cassandra with pity and then bowed.

"Everything will be okay. I'm here" Pras said, then tried to hand a box of tissue to Cassandra.

Cassandra took a sheet of tissue and wiped her tears. Then when it was a bit quiet and opened his eyes, then he realized that Arik Gudono had been standing next to the car, precisely next to Pras sitting.

Through the half-open car door, Cassandra finally asked, "What am I, Om?"

Arik. It seems like it takes time to answer. His usually cheerful and full of laughter was now emitting sorrow.

"Papa you have met," said Arik Gudono but with a face that looks unhappy.

Both Cassandra and Pras raised their faces. It was as if there was great hope emanating from the eyes of both of them. I've met you, haven't I? Isn't this a good thing?

But the facial expression of Arik Gudono next who still looks moody makes Pras immediately sensitive.

Meet him under what circumstances? Congratulations huh? Injured? Died yet?

"Pa...?" Pras said nothing. He knew his father understood his point. He needs a more complete explanation.

With a sudden bad premonition filling his head, Pras immediately clasped Cassandra's hand tightly.

"Papa you fell down. There was a foothold and his hand was successfully held Mayasa. But the time the rescue team came, plus the health condition of your father and the conditions of the field that are prone to collapse, then he could not survive." Arik said while holding his breath.

Don't ask how Cassandra responded to this news. He only clasped Pras' hand tightly and did not say a word. His eyes stared straight ahead without blinking. Surprisingly, he did not cry.

Arik Gudono saw Cassandra's response which he thought would be hysterical with a concerned face. Then he continued talking again.

"Now he is looking for ways to bring his body out of the building so as not to harm the evacuating team. Because buildings cannot be predicted whether it is safe. The aftershocks and ruins that might have occurred were unpredictable." Arik.

Pras was also silent without a word. Her hand held onto Cassandra's hand which she felt was wet from sweat but strangely cold at the same time.

Cassandra's lips were tight but held back from shivering. His eyes slowly flickered rapidly like a broken lamp.

And the next scene was that the eye was shedding tears without a sound. Cassandra bit her tongue hard with bated breath.

"Just "crying. I'm right here." Pras hugged straight away. And break that cry.

Arik Gudono immediately left because a voice called him to come. Looks like a call from the head of the rescue team.

The man with long hair and an eccentric look also passed away. Pras could only look at his back away from behind the windshield of his car.

If not restrained because he felt obliged to accompany Cassandra, Pras would have pursued her papa and asked with all his might. "Pa, but Mayasa survived, right?"

Unfortunately the question was not the power he asked, especially in front of Cassandra who was grieving.

Pras was worried. Anxious thousand worried. He wants to know if Mayasa survived? Did Mayasa fall? The story of his father was incomplete.

Cassandra cried more and more and Pras hugged her tightly while stroking her back. Accidentally his knee touched the radio button when his leg moved to comfortably sit up because while hugging Cassandra.

Ah, why is Hugo's song always the soundtrack of his sad story?

Again this is an old BigHigh song that Cassandra listened to every day after her mother died. And now his father, the only family he had, also left him.

"I'm here..." Pras's alarmed voice worried Mayasa was heard calming Cassandra down.

I don't know what kind of man Pras is. He is able to calm others when his own heart is not calm.

Pras can try desperately to make Cassandra comfortable to enjoy this grief when her own heart is actually no less grieving.

Is this love? Nope.

This is a form of responsibility and proof of the promise of a grown man in the presence of a dying father. "If Cassandra hates me as a husband and one day insists on asking for a divorce after Om is gone, I will still love her and take care of her as a sister."

And he's a man who holds promise, even while hugging Cassandra his eyes are not free to look at the busy rescue team far ahead. Pras certainly hopes to see Mayasa taken by the stretcher, whether safe or not.

"If you have any trouble, I will help you quietly behind my papa. Three of your children I'll take as my children as well. Create education, health, and all the things you can do for their future while you are still an employee of Pragu Group.

Office rules will make you retire in 13 years. Luna still has to go to school and college when you're 50. May, don't mind much. We will not live forever. But the kids still have a long future.

Never give up again, right? I helped pay off the debt you used to use for the medical expenses of your late husband. If you're afraid, consider it a debt..."

The conversation was again remembered in the head of Pras who is now jumbled not because of its contents.

Yes, Pras was close to Mayasa in the difficult times of the widow of 3 children. When the woman wanted to give up, Pras, whom she mentored, walked into her life and became a savior angel. Pras threw away the medicine that Mayasa was about to take to the trash and hugged it while crying.

"You really helped me because of what, Pras? Not because I like it, right? But out of pity, right?"

And the same question now Pras heard from a different woman. Among her cries, Cassandra asked a question that contained more or less the same.

"You're like this just because you feel sorry for me, aren't you, Pras? Actually you don't care much? You're just sorry that I'm alone now and have no one, right?" ask Cassandra while sobbing.

And the fool Pras answered with the same answer as he had answered Mayasa's question. The answer that made him bound to his deeper feelings for Mayasa.

"No! I care because it's you. Because you are a precious woman in my eyes. I won't leave you alone after this. You got me," Pras replied when right at the same second the figure was caught by the sight of his eyes.

Yes, a few meters away in front of there, the figure of Mayasa who was chaotic and slightly injured was walking limping while being swept by the medical team.

"She survived..," Pras whispered inwardly in relief. His eyes closed and again he was quiet among the piles of Cassandra's fragrant hair in his arms.

Pras' tears did not come.

Cassandra felt those tears. He thought Pras was crying because of it. Cassandra is too innocent to know that her future husband once had a deep relationship with Mayasa that makes her cry now.

Unfortunately the tears were for Mayasa, not for him...

I don't know when Cassandra will know...
