Girl One Night

Girl One Night
The Tragic Life of Keyla (French, Parisian)



** Happy Reading **


* Graceful Pov's *


I've finished two packs of Bread and one cup of coffee in my hand now my body is sitting in the garden of the Hospital but all my thoughts are in France right now.. they reworked what happened in the apartment a few years ago when they saw Keyla covered in blood this morning.


Still in doubt but I kept in touch with Gerry anyway he must be waiting for news from me about the cancellation of our meeting today..


" Angun Ka from anywhere ? why ignore my call." Gerry asked from behind the phone near my ear


"I'm still at Gerry Hospital, sorry I was doing emergency surgery so I didn't have time to pick up your call." My answer.. "You want to meet now ?" ask me again


"Come, but it seems like it will take a lot of time to get to the hospital, because it has to rotate directions to get to where you are. The road that used to pass was closed by the police. There is a big investigation, it looks like there was an accident involving an important person.. I saw there were some people who were wearing full suits." Brother said.


I was still speechless, still hesitant to tell my sister who was involved in the accident she just told me about.


"Come here, Gerry, there's something important I need to tell you." I said.


"Okay, maybe in two hours I'll be at the hospital." Answer Gerry.


I got up from my seat to return to my room.


My step continued to enter the Hospital until it ended in front of the ICU room, eager to see Keyla but I undo my intentions when I saw some people were in the windshield looking at the patient who was still unconscious in the room.


"Doctor Gracefully." The voice of a man from behind my body instantly made me turn my head. A little surprised to see the former Hospital Chief behind me with the woman I knew was his wife and the older Hospital Owner now in his wheelchair staring back at me..


"The Professor." Answer me while bowing my head slightly for politeness.


"Mam, this is the doctor who saved Keyla." Mr. Manaf said to an elderly woman who is the most respected in this hospital, but he was stabbed in a wheelchair.


The old woman who owns Ruma Sick where I work grabbed my hand into hers. Then say thank you very much for saving his grandson. I smiled and told him it was my duty, which of course there was God's intervention there..


They smiled at me and asked permission to go to Keyla and I let them.


I saw Mr. Handoko from HG Group and his wife Ratih's mother, and a couple of married men of the same age as those I guessed were Rosa's parents who were also there..


Papa has been wrong to demean people, they treat Keyla is very valuable, hopefully all the words - the words I heard yesterday will not reach the important people in front of me..


When fear came upon me, I knew papa very well, he would do anything to make everything around him go as he wished, even if the way he used was wrong. Seeing severe injuries on the side of Keyla's body it seems someone indeed accidentally hit the car that Keyla used.


"Oh my God, may this be wrong in my mind." Overshipped. What a matter of papa to us his family, I really hope Keyla's accident this time has nothing to do with papa. It was enough of all the suffering and tragic life of Keyla in Paris a few years ago that was caused by my sister Gerry..


I took a deep breath and then exhaled it. I slowly turned my body and then brought my steps back to my room.


A message came into my cell phone from Gerry, saying twenty more minutes were coming to the hospital. I replied and told him to go straight to my room..


After that I laid my body on the bed in the room. Bed that I usually wear if forced not to go home because there is an impromptu recreation that I can not leave..


Just had my eyes closed, probably because I was tired and my mind was racing in my heart and my mind made my body feel very anxious to rest even if only for a moment..


I got up from my bed and went down to the sofa not far from my bed. The door to my room was open, Gerry was already there..


"Here's Gerry." I said while patting the empty sofa beside me.


"Ka Anggun well - well screed ?" Gerry asked as he stepped closer and sat next to me.


"I'm good" I replied, nodding my head. "Just a little tired." My welcome. This sudden big operation this morning did drain all my energy and emotions. Various fears came to my mind, afraid that if I could not bring Keyla what the head of the Hospital where I worked wanted. Fearful Gerry will feel sad and guilty if Keyla can no longer return to his life.


"Gerry, do you know why I asked you to come ?" I asked.I saw Gerry nodding his head without saying a word. He knows where his mistake is.


"A few years ago I found Keyla unconscious in a pool of blood on the emergency stairs of our apartment. I don't know what happened to her, which I obviously could've guessed she had a miscarriage." I said I had started to hiccup because I could no longer hold my tears any longer because the foetus that my power could not cover at that time was my nephew. About to recall the suffering of Keyla at that time, even worse, which caused all that was my younger brother. It was fortunate that Roby was an OBGYN doctor who had worked in a hospital.


"Sister Roby brought him back then, though not back completely. An eight-week-old foetus could not be saved, Keyla was in a coma for two weeks Gerry, without family there was only me and Roby's ka at the time." My face with a voice that has been shaking.


"Explain to me everything Gerry, what relationship were you in at the time ? if you knew you'd left your seed in his possession, why didn't you marry him and let him go that far ?" I asked and this time I was angry with my sister.


"Our relationship is only One Night Stand students who have just finished college. I'm sorry, I fell in love with her at the time, so that the forbidden relationship was unsafe." My sister answered, which made me angry.


"If you've fallen in love with her, then why let her go ?" Ask again.


He who chose to go, before deciding to go to England I had to look for it everywhere, but could not find it. Until we met again at an event that Papa hosted at the hotel a few days ago." Gerry replied calmly but softly.


"If I knew he would be gone when I woke up from our long slumber, maybe I would have withstood my drowsiness that night in order to tell him to stay by my side. and maybe there won't be any regrets that I feel like right now." Said Gerry.


I silently stared fixedly at my sister's face, looking very clear if she was frustrated..


" What should I do now ?" He asked with a few drops of tears starting to fall on his shoes.


"Keyla heard all the humiliation papa had this morning, then left me without turning her head" said Gerry.


I'm really surprised to hear Gerry's story if Keyla hears everything with her own ears the curse of papa.


"She left and I didn't have the courage to hold her back, Keyla's horrible, cynical look made me feel cramped.. Last night we were fine, even we talked about marriage but this morning papa ruined everything." Hearing everything my sister told me made me sad. I grabbed her body and hugged her tightly, patting her on the back giving her strength.


"There's something I want to show you, but you have to be strong with this." I said after letting go of our embrace and it was seen that Gerry was back in control..


Gerry and I walked out of my room to the ICU where Keyla was. Fortunately there was no one there, maybe the Keyla family is back and I feel relieved at this time.


But because Keyla could not be visited we could only see from the big glass. My tears fell to see the state of Gerry that I had never seen before, we never experienced this chaotic life even though papa always made us disappointed, this time I saw my other sister.


"The patient I operated on this morning was Keyla, she could barely return, yet I still firmly believe she was the same strong girl she was a few years ago." I said.


"Maybe there'll be a lot of obstacles for you to be with, I won't ask you to stop loving Gerry. But you must know that good love is love that does not force. A love that is ready to let go if that love is no longer able to be happy." I want Gerry to love Keyla well without obsession.


I saw my brother sitting down and squeezing his head against the glass wall. I'm sure this time he felt devastated to see Keyla helpless before him.


"Fight if Keyla is worth fighting for." I said give it back some spirit.
