DARREN'S HATRED

9. Understanding Darren's Health

Now members of Smith's family and Darren's two best friends, Willy and Qenan, have gathered at the doorstep of the ER room. They all looked panicked.

"Honey. Never mind. Cease crying. Everything's gonna be fine. Believe me!" entertain Aqneta to Darka.

"Hiks... It's all my fault, Ma! If only I hadn't stopped Darren's bike. Darren will definitely not fall. Darren is like this because he avoids me... Hiks," isak Darka.

"Huussstt!" It's been... It's been. Mom won't listen to that anymore. Everything's gonna be fine. Darren's gonna be fine."

THE CLUCK!

ER door is open. And a doctor came out with a nurse, and they approached the doctor.

"How is my son, Doctor?" ask Erland.

"Before I answer your question. I want to ask first. What can?"

"Please, Doc! What do you want to ask me?"

"Look. It's about your son. Does your son have a problem in his heart?"

DEG!

Both Erland and the others were shocked upon hearing the question from the Doctor.

"Ma-sorry Doctor. Why are you asking like that?" ask Erland.

"When the patient is down here. Conditions cannot be said in good words. His face was pale. Though I saw the patient only suffered minor injuries in the temple and his leg was sprained due to being squeezed by his motorcycle. When I do an examination of the patient. The patient lost his heartbeat for half an hour. Over the course of fifteen minutes, I managed to get her heart rate back up" the doctor replied.

The suddenness of it made Agneta shake her head and her tears vying out. "No... No." Agneta spoke and stepped back.

"Sister Belva... Hix... Older brother... Hiks," isak Agneta.

"Mama." Davin and the others panicked when they saw Agneta who was suddenly hysterical.

"Honey. What's wrong, huh?" Erland was really worried to see his wife who was suddenly hysterical.

"I'll excuse you then. You can all see the patient when the patient has been moved to his room" said the doctor.

"Thank you, Doctor." Evan replied to the doctor.

"Take a seat first Brother Agneta, Brother!" exclaim Evan.

Erland and Davin help Agneta to sit down.

"Honey. What was? Why are you like this? Why did you suddenly mention Belva, the mother of my seven sons?" ask Erland.

"Come, Ma! Tell us that. Why did you say our birth mother's name?" ask Davin.

"I'm sorry... I-i'm sorry! I'm really not aware of this. I really didn't realize it" Agneta said.

"What, honey? Don't confuse me" said Erland.

"Darren," said Agneta.

"Darren" said those who repeated Agneta's words.

"What's the doctor's question about whether Darren has a heart problem?" agneta Lirih.

"Don't tell me.." Erland's words were cut off because Agneta had already nodded first.

"Yes. Darren's heart is troubled," Ye Jin replied softly

DEG!

Like being hit by a big hammer right about their hearts when they heard the words from Agneta that their beloved was sick all this time. And they don't even know that.

Erland directly dropped her body onto the floor. All six of his sons from Belva cried. They have failed to become Father and also Sister to Darren.

Darka approaches Agneta. And look into his eyes. "Hiks... Tell me this is all Mama's lie. Hix... My sister's all right, Ma? My brother's heart is fine, Ma?"

"Where do you know that Darren has a heart problem?" ask Andra.

"From your biological mama. Mother's sister" replied Agneta.

FLASHBACKS

"Sister. You okay?"

"I'm fine, Agneta."

"Agneta."

"Yes, Brother. What's up?"

"Do you want to do one thing for me?"

"Anything for Brother. I'm gonna do it. I love you, sister. You are the second mother after Mama. You're always there for me. You always give me the best."

Belva smiled happily at the words of her sister. Then Agneta hugged Belva's body tightly. "Say Brother. What should I do for you?"

Belva kissed Agneta's head. "Marry my husband. And take care of my seven sons."

Agneta immediately released her embrace from the Big Brother. Then he looked at his sister's pretty face. "Sister. Have you gone crazy? How can I marry your husband? You're still alive, brother. You're still with me now. Don't make me a bad sister to you, sister."

Belva again smiled at the words of her sister.

"You don't have to get married now. Marry when you are no longer in this world."

"Sister, enough! The longer you say, the more you digress."

Belva crouched in front of Agneta. Then his hand clasped Agneta's hand tightly.

"Belva. Listen Brother. Brother's age won't be long. Do you know how big brother is doing? My sister has seven sons. And everything is small. Especially Darren. He's still one year old. And even Darren has not known the face of Brother and Darren also has to get a lot of attention and affection from Brother. Brother was afraid that Big Brother wouldn't be able to give all that to him."

"Sister. I'm sure Brother will be healed. It's not like it's been a week now Brother and Brother Erland are in the process of treatment. Don't disappoint Erland, Brother!"

"That's exactly what you're afraid of, Agenta! I'm afraid everything will be for nothing."

"Agneta. Brother please. If you are no longer in this world. Please take care of my brother's sons. Love them, take care of them like you love and look after your biological sons. Especially Darren. Give more attention and affection to her. Because Darren is different from my other six sons. Darren has a problem in his heart. As long as Darren is happy and not depressed. That's as long as his heart's gonna be okay. Quite the contrary. If Darren is always crying, sad and depressed. Then his heart will recur. If his heart keeps recurring, then his life is at stake. So Brother beg of you, Agneta! Please grant Brother's request. Take care of them for Brother."

Agneta cried hearing the words from her sister, then Agneta hugged the body of the Brother. "Alright Brother. I will take good care of my seven nephews. Especially Darren. I will love them and take good care of them. If I break my promise. Then I won't live quietly. Forever."

"One more thing. Please keep this matter a secret to Erland."

"Why Brother? Erland's brother deserves to know."

"Sister does not want to make Erland sadder. First Erland would be sad to lose Big Brother forever. And Brother did not want to make Erland even more sad when he heard the news about the condition of his youngest son. When it's time, you can tell Erland."

"alright. I promise I will keep this matter a secret to Brother Erland. And I promise you that you'll always keep my niece's heart from ever relapsing."

"Sister trusts you. You can do it well."

FLASHBACK OFF

"Belva... Belva... Hicks." Erland cried when she heard the story from Agneta. "Why are you keeping all this to me Belva? You gave me happiness and didn't want to let me dissolve into grief by hiding about our youngest son's condition. Why are you doing this Belva?"

"Papa." Gilang approached the father and then hugged him. "Pa. Maybe Mama did all this because of Mama's great love for Papa. Mama doesn't want to see Papa sad. It's enough Papa is sad about losing Mama. And Mama doesn't want Papa to be sad when she finds out Darren's true condition. That's why Mama only told Mama Agneta. And proof. Mama Agenta managed to keep Darren all this time, entertain Gilang.

"What does Gilang say is right, brother? Now do the job Brother. Brother's duties as a Father to Darren. Brother has failed to be a good Dad, a caring father and a caring father to Darren. Prove to him that Brother is the father responsible for him. Fix your relationship with Darren. Don't lose it a second time" Carrisa said.

Carrisa looked at her six nieces and nephews, the Six Sisters of Darren. "And you also improve your relationship with your youngest brother."

"Good, Bi! That was indeed our initial intention" Adnan said.

"We don't want to linger being hostile to our own sister" Dzaky said.

"Yes, already! Then let's go to Darren's room now!" exclaim Evan.
