EVEN THOUGH MY WIFE IS BLIND

44. Difficult Choices, Decisions And Determinations

Dalvin and Soraya arrive at an Alaskan hospital. He parked his car in the basement, then helped Soraya out.

"You wait a minute..." Pinta Dalvin opens the back door. Suddenly Dalvin's face turned confused.

"Where's my bag?" Mumbled.

"Is everything okay?" Soraya asked tensely.

Dalvin again remembered the big and sturdy men who confronted them earlier. "Ah shit..."

Dalvin shut the door of his car very hard and swore many times. "certainly them... Those who took the bag..."

Dalvin pulled his own hair. He's so upset.

"Viii..." Call Soraya trying to reach Dalvin with both hands.

Dalvin was so lethargic to welcome Soraya's hand. He hugged Soraya and cried at the top of his wife's head.

"We'll just go home... It's all fate, right?" Soraya said.

Dalvin shakes. He took Soraya out of his arms, then took Soraya's cheeks while looking at her face with deep feelings. "We can't give up, Sora... After so far on our journey, we can't just give up..."

"But..."

"I'll talk to Sony's doctor... If necessary I will kneel down and beg him..." Dalvin assures Soraya.

"But Vin..."

"You believe me, right?" Dalvin asked with trembling lips to hold the pain.

With a heavy heart Soraya nodded. He threw himself into Dalvin's arms. "I'm sorry... I've always been a hassle..."

After a long sigh, Dalvin invites Soraya to see Sony's doctor. He asks Soraya to wait outside, while he himself will see Sony's doctor inside.

"Dalvin?"

Dalvin looked surprised. Someone he knew very well had been in the presence of a Sony doctor.

"For a long time no see, Vin..." Sapa Duta grinned, making Dalvin feel fed up.

"What's the need for him to come here, Doc?" Dalvin's question began to be overcome with anger.

"Oh..."

"It just so happens, Doc... It's my regular schedule to go to this hospital to talk stocks with the director of the Alaska hospital..." Cut the Ambassador before the Sony doctor explains.

The Sony doctor glanced at the Ambassador, then smiled nodding.

"Since he got married, he decided to be independent, Doc... We were no longer home, and because he was busy, he rarely visited..." Said the Ambassador with a smile.

"Oh so... It's fitting that Mr. Dalvin looks surprised at the presence of Mr. Ambassador, yes..." Sony's doctor's letter. "Let's sit down, Mr. Dalvin..."

Dalvin's clenched hand held back strongly. He sat next to the Ambassador with a sense of laziness.

"Miss Soraya is ready for surgery, sir..." Doctor Sony.

"There's actually something I need to talk to the doctor about..." Dalvin was hesitant.

"Tell me, sir..." Sony doctor said, looking closely at Dalvin.

The ambassador glanced at Dalvin with an incomprehensible look.

"Emmm... I've previously raised funds for my wife's operation, Doc... But..." Dalvin again stopped his words.

The ambassador deliberately presented his body to Dalvin as if he was sympathetic and wanted to be a good listener for his half-brother.

"But how, sir?" Ask the doctor Sony is still faithfully waiting for Dalvin's remarks.

"I was robbed... All the expenses I prepared were taken all by them, Doc..." Reveal Dalvin with red eyes.

"Mugged?" Sony doctor and Ambassador were both shocked after hearing Dalvin's story.

"Why did it happen, Vin?" Asked the Ambassador with a look of pity staring at Dalvin.

Dalvin clenched his hand again. His heart was very upset, and he had great suspicion towards Ambassador about what he had just experienced.

Sony's doctor looked expressionless for a moment.

"Please, Doc..." Whine Dalvin again.

Just as Doctor Sony was about to speak, the Ambassador pulled Dalvin's arm by force. "Let's talk for a second..."

****

Dalvin's upset. He shook the Ambassador's hand from his arm violently. His gaze was as if he was dealing with an enemy.

"Don't embarrass Fernando's extended family, Vin..." Ambassador Said.

"Don't pretend to care... I know this is your kingdom..." Ketus Dalvin's.

The ambassador grinned happily. "Whatever your accusations are against me, it won't change things, Vin... The hospital will not approve your request... We just talked about this hospital's expenses..."

Dalvin pushed Duta's body against the wall, then gripped his half-brother's shoulder in anger. "Give me my bag, Ambassador..." His shouting.

With ease Duta took off Dalvin's grip. "Have enough evidence to accuse me? If he does, just report him to the police station..." Ejek Duta.

"Bad..." Dalvin prepares to hit, but the Ambassador swiftly restrains his hand.

"Don't waste your time, Dalvin Fernando... Corneal transplant surgery for Soraya should be done immediately... Otherwise, you know the consequences yourself, right?" Said the Ambassador with a cynical smile.

Dalvin's breath roared loudly. He looked irritated at the look in the eyes of the heartless Ambassador at all.

"I'll pay for all your wife's treatment, but then let her go..." Connect the Ambassador with his vows.

"Devil..." Shouted Dalvin.

"That's a choice, Dalvin... Decision, you decide..." Sneer the Ambassador with a sly smile, then pass from before Dalvin.

Dalvin was very upset. This time he felt his defeat. And not even if happiness is really on his side.

He repeatedly hit his head which felt very hot restraining his own anger. When he began to feel tired, he was sitting limp on the long bench of the hospital.

A while later, he walked over to Soraya who was waiting for him.

"How, Vin?" Soraya asked looking hopeful.

Dalvin clasped Soraya's hand tightly. "The operation is about to begin, Sora... Be prepared..."

Soraya nodded with a happy smile. "Thank you, Vin... This must be very difficult for you..."

Dalvin just looked at his wife guiltily. Suddenly, her tears flowed down her cheeks. "I'm sorry, Sora..."

"Why?" Soraya asked with a confused look.

"It's okay..." Dalvin covered his mouth with his own hands, trying to endure the pain of his heart remembering what would be his decision.

"Whatever happens, please be strong... You're the toughest girl I've ever known, and I have..." Lirih Dalvin.

"Ma.mmm..." Soraya nodded. "I'll be able to see soon, Vin... I'll see your face..."

That feeling is getting stinging. Dalvin hugged Soraya tightly as if he didn't want to let go again. The hospital came to inform him that his operation was ready to begin.

With a heavy heart Dalvin let go of his embrace towards Soraya.

"Wait for me, Vin..." Pinta Soraya before he left.

Dalvin did not say, he just looked at Soraya until his wife disappeared behind the operating room door.

"It's the right decision, Sora... Your happiness is more important than anything... I'm sure, after you see later, you won't need me... You never saw my face either, did you? So, there's nothing to worry about..."
