FRIENDS ... (Our Story)
The friends 87
Andra finished explaining the results of his investigation which then continued with the story of the family version of Farid Angkasa and the family of Richard Davidson.
The two married couples looked at each other and did not believe that their stories had a connection.
"and now Faya is in critical condition, she needs a negative A donor. Just like Richard's blood type" Andra said, turning to Richard Davidson.
Richard Davidson looked at Andra.
"even if we haven't done a test to prove that he's Regan, but I'll do it in the name of humanity. We should help each other" he said.
"thank you very much Mr. Richard" said Maya's mother.
"same mistress" replied Richard Davidson.
"now I understand why I feel so familiar when I meet Faya. She looks a lot like you baby" said aunt Melani staring at her husband.
"we have to prove it first baby, because after all Faya now has a family that takes care of her from childhood. We have to respect Mr. Farid and Mrs Maya" Richard Davidson said, holding his wife's hand.
"we as Faya's adoptive parents will not stand in the way of your intention if it is proven that Faya is your son, we will try sincerely for Faya's happiness because she really wants to meet her biological parents" papa Farid's.
"thank you Mr. Farid" said aunt Melani.
Melani looks at Maya's mother.
"lady, thank you for bringing Faya into your family and making her what she is now" he said.
"same-sama madam, Faya is a good boy" said mama Maya.
Andra's room door was knocked. He immediately shouted asking the one on the side of the door to enter.
"excuse Dr. Andra, Dr. Hadinata said the operation must be done immediately because the patient's condition is declining" said the incoming nurse.
Everyone looks at each other. Andra immediately stood up.
"we don't have any more time, sister, please take Mr. Richard for his blood. He is a donor for Faya and also you check again the blood bank who knows there are other donors just in case" explained Andra.
"well, doc, please sir" said the nurse politely inviting Mr. Richard to come with her.
"you're here with Narra, I'll be right back" Richard told Melani.
Madam Melani nodded.
Before leaving Richard kissed his wife's forehead and went to follow the nurse.
"i'll be back in the operating room" Andra said.
"we're good to go out first" said papa Farid. He invited his wife out of Andra's room.
Andra, Narra and Ms. Melani stay there.
"it's a shame you should rest" Andra said as she approached Narra.
"i'm fine, Nda, I beg you" pinta Narra.
"Na, Andra right you look tired. Auntie accompany you to rest here" said aunt Melani.
Narra looked at aunt Melani and turned to her husband.
"all right I'll be here" he said.
Andra smile. He rubbed Narra's cheek and kissed his wife's forehead.
"i'm going yes" she said.
Narra nodded.
Andra immediately rushed towards the operating room. He was a little relieved because his wife wanted to obey to rest.

Richard Davidson was lying in bed with a transfusion hose attached to his arm. He remembered his meeting with Faya. All this time she felt close to Faya but she herself did not understand what was happening to her.
"if Faya was Regan, I would devote all my attention to her to changing the time we didn't spend together" Richard said slowly.
Without Richard realizing it, there was someone who kept watching his movements and now the person looks busy with his phone. He called the man who told him to.
"sorry big master, all secrets will be exposed. They already know the story just that they will still do DNA tests to ascertain the truth" he reported.
"trus how is the child now ?"
"still in the critical condition of the great master, they will continue their operation after receiving a blood transfusion from Mr. Richard"
"keep an eye on them, report every incident to me"
"good big master"

Narra and Madame Melani are now in Andra's room. Narra lay down while mistress Melani sat leaning back while stroking Narra's hair. His eyes were empty, like he was thinking.
"aunty all right ?" ask Narra.
Melani jerks. He smiled at Narra.
"auntie is fine. Just a little confused" he said.
"why auntie ?" ask Narra again.
"aunty feels very happy to finally find Regan but aunt also feels bad with both parents Faya. They take good care of Faya, grateful aunt Regan is in a good family and love him and it feels unfair if now aunt takes Faya from them" explained Ms. Melani.
"because it's aunty holding back here when I know that actually aunt is very worried about Faya's condition ?" sahut Narra's.
"and one more thing aunt, you don't know this. Faya has the same birthmark as the aunt on her back" Narra said, taking her phone on the nightstand and opening the gallery.
He opened an old photo where the seven of them were swimming in Sheva's hotel pool. It is clearly a birthmark on the back of Faya who is bare-chested and only wears shorts with other male companions.
Madam Melani was unable to hold back her tears upon seeing the photo. He believes that Faya is Regan.
"aunty.." said Narra lirih.
Melani wiped her tears.
"aunty is fine" he said.
Madame Melani's phone rings. Apparently her husband called when the transfusion was over and she would be waiting in front of the operating room.
"rest, we leave everything to the power of prayer" Melani said.
Narra nodded.

Erga held out a canned milk pack one drink to Mr. Richard.
"please sir, he said after the blood donation should drink milk to restore the condition" he said.
"thank you" Richard said, taking the canned milk. He opened it and drank it.
"sit down" Richard told Erga, pointing to the empty spot next to him.
Erga sat next to Mr. Richard.
"have you been friends with Faya for a long time ?" ask Richard.
"yes sir"
"eits, don't call me that. Just call me" Richard said. He wanted everyone there to be informal with him.
"sorry om, yes we have been friends from small because our house is close together" said Erga.
"how is Faya's daily life ? I want to know him" Richard said.
Erga then tells about their childhood with Faya. Richard listened attentively to Erga's story, as if he didn't want to miss a single story about Faya that might have been Regan.
"he's a good boy" Richard commented.
Erga nodded.
"he's a good friend" he continued.

Operation Faya went well. They waited until dawn.
Everyone was sitting on a chair with their eyes closed. The sound of the door opening woke them up. A team of doctors came out of the operating room.
Everyone rushed over.
"how's my son doc ?" ask mama Maya.
"the operation is going well and the patient is past his critical period. We will immediately move the patient to the treatment room. You should all rest" said Dr. Hadinata as the head of the team of doctors.
"thank you so much doc" they all said.
"we excuse you" said Dr. Hadinata who was then accompanied by other doctors.
"Ri, we'd better talk in my room" Dr. Hadinata said.
Mr. Richard nodded. He walked with Dr. Hadinata.
While Andra approached mama Maya and papa Farid.
"would the ladies and gentlemen allow us to do a DNA test on Faya ?" tanyakanya.
The couple looked at each other. They look like they strengthen each other through their eyes.
Papa Farid embraces his wife's shoulder.
"do the doctor, we allow it" he said.
Andra mangut's. He then nodded and left.
Erga, Desta and Sheva and Keenan are still there approaching papa Farid and mama Maya.
"Faya will be fine" said Sheva.
"yes, thank you kids. Thank you Keenan, you are all always there for Faya" said Maya.
"sama ma" chores Erga, Desta and Sheva.
"sama-sama aunty Maya" said Keenan.
Before long, the nurses came out by pushing the lying Faya brangkar with various hoses that were for nothing.
"we will bring a special room patient requested by Dr. Andra. The patient cannot be swiped until he is conscious. And you can all rest in the glass-restricted patient room" the nurse explained.
"good sister" said Keenan representing the others.
They followed Faya's brangkar to his treatment room. There was no sound, all seemed to be distracted by their eyes on the weakly lying Faya.
