Father to My Son

chapter. 32

later that night, Renaldi again wrote something in his diary about the new year now and looked out the window

"in this new year, what I want to do. I would love to see fireworks out there. If my life is still long, I would propose to Erin and marry her. and if that happens, will Rangga give up his wife for me? I know, you're still here, Rangga. It's just that no one can see you right now, right? Erin really wants to see you"

and after saying that, Renaldi suddenly fell down and vomited blood on the floor of his room.

"i can't believe this, will I end up here in the end? and no more seeing Erin and her son?"

there were fireworks coming from outside the window. Renaldi finally tried to look out the window with the rest of his energy today

"that's the fireworks that I'll see with Erin later.I'll make sure to see it with Erin later"

renaldi's voice and body weakened further and he eventually fell unconscious in his room.

late in December, Erin finally tried to ask Renaldi's parents about Renaldi's current state.

"sorry, Renaldi's father and mother! there's something I want to ask you" Erin said

"what is Erin?"

"how was Renaldi in the days before? is she okay?" ask Erin

"about Aldi yes. Aldi definitely didn't tell me about it either" said the mother

"yes, Renaldi said that he did not want to hear bad news about him" Erin said

"hm... then I will tell you. at this time it can be estimated that Aldi can not live for long anymore, his condition is getting worse.even yesterday Aldi fainted again in his room" said the father

"we as his parents couldn't even give Aldi a last pleasant thing" said the mother

"yes, we are bad parents" said as he rubbed his eyes

"no need to cry, you are good parents to Renaldi, let me just dedicate happy moments to Renaldi" said erin

Erin walked back to the hospital to visit Renaldi there.

"today I was not excited like that time.it turns out soon yes.when I almost found a father for Raka but, it seems I can not find it. maybe Raka should go back to what she used to be, living without anyone Raka could call father."

arriving at the hospital, Erin again opened the door to Renaldi's room and saw him looking out the window. Renaldi who realized Erin was visiting him immediately smiled at her and greeted her warmly

"you just came Erin?" ask Renaldi

"yes."

"you're sad. What makes you that way?"

Erin did not answer and just stayed in front of Renaldi's room, and finally Renaldi tried to walk and pull Erin into his room.

"it's not good to just stay in front of the door. let's talk to me, I will definitely answer if there is something you want to ask" said Renaldi who still smiles at Erin.

suddenly Erin hugged Renaldi tightly and cried on her shoulder

"don't leave me. I beg you, don't leave me alone here.I already know your current situation, your father and mother are crying because they see your current condition. so please don't leave me here and be a father to my son"

"i know that and I want to be like that too, but, just this time..Can I see fireworks with Erin and the others?"

"uh?" Erin was suddenly startled and released her embrace

"yes. I want to see fireworks with Erin and the others. will you?"

"i. yes I will if it makes you healed."

as soon as Erin said that, Renaldi was suddenly startled and could only be speechless about it. Renaldi can only lie with his words and his current condition.
