Heart Thief

Daren Condition

...****************...

Daren is immediately rushed to the hospital, while Aska and her team are still looking for the whereabouts of Rein and Abian. The time showed at 04:00 am when the fire was successfully tamed by the fire team.

"Hows it? Did you find the person I mentioned earlier?" Ask some of his men and the fire team.

"We didn't find anyone else, sir. The burning house has also been inspected, and there have been no fatalities" one of them replied.

Aska rubbed her face rough. He is confused to find Rein and Abian. Where the hell did they go? Were they kidnapped by the people who hurt Daren? The ambush this time can be declared successful, because the main suspect has been arrested. However, Aska is still not satisfied, because her goal is not only Daren, but Rein and Abian. The second goal of Aska was to pick them up.

"Then tonight's ambush mission I declare is complete, because the suspect has been arrested. I will go to the hospital first to see the state of our target. Bripda Heru and Bripda Deni came with me, and the others were able to return to headquarters" Aska said.

"Ready, Sir!" His men answered.

...******...

In an ICU room, Aska stood stiff. In front of him lay an unconscious Daren. The man's body was filled with life support cables deliberately installed by doctors. Daren is asked into a coma, with a body full of external and internal injuries. That said, he ... is dying!

It certainly makes Aska's mind so not calm. Not because he was worried about Daren, but because Aska was confused where else he had to find his wife and nephew. The only person he could question, was instead comatose like a dead person.

"Where are you, Rein?" Aska monologued softly, then took a deep breath before she spoke again in front of Daren's body lying helplessly, "if you really love this man, I'm willing to let you go. But at least allow me to watch my child born into the world, because I believe the child you bear is my son. Maybe at that time you did it because you were bound by obligations as my wife. Sorry, because I was too selfish to love you. I promise I won't take our son. I will always pray for you to be happy."

After saying that, Aska went outside the ICU room. He had to return to headquarters to report the results of the ambush he had his team conducted last night to his superiors.

"You two stay here to look after the suspect. If there's something or someone who claims the family wants to see him, hurry up the information to me! Suspects should not be visited by just anyone. Understood!"

"Ready, Sir!" As soon as the two men of Aska answered his word.

"Oh, yes. I'll send two officers to replace you. You can go home after they come," said Aska again.

"Good, Sir. Thank you," said one of Aska's men.

Aska smiled as she nodded her head, then walked away from the hospital where Daren was being treated. Sunlight was already illuminating the universe, when Aska left the hospital.

****

After returning to the headquarters and reporting the results of the ambush, Aska was allowed to go home. He hasn't slept all night doing his job.

However, instead of resting the body, Aska roamed. The man chose to look for his wife and nephew around the city. I wish I could find them somewhere.

At such a time Aska became regretful, because he did not then look for Abian when the child disappeared. Waiting for Rein to drive Abian home was a mistake. Aska thinks Rein will change his mind because of Abian, apparently not. The woman prefers to stay with Daren, and instead lets Abian stay with her.

Aska who felt deadlocked stopped her car on the shoulder of the road. He no longer knew where to look for his wife. Many times he had his own face. Aska looks so frustrated.

The vibration in his pants pocket made Aska choked. He reached into his pants pocket to grab his vibrating phone there.

"Mother?" muttered Aska, while he looked at the phone screen that showed the name of the contact of the mother who contacted. Aska flickered for a while until the flickering screen suddenly became dim. The call ended because Aska did not answer.

A few seconds later, the screen came back on. The mother contacted him again, and for this time Aska immediately pressed the receive button.

"Waalaikumsalam," replied Ranti across the phone.

"What do you need Aska's phone for?" ask Ask glorify their conversation.

"There's no need for anything, Aska. Ambu just suddenly misses you guys. How about Rein? Did he come back to your house?" ask Ranti who previously knew Rein left the Aska house.

"Yet, Ambu. But Aska has met him. Said he wanted to stay in the parlour for a while." Aska was forced to lie to her mother, so that the woman who had given birth to her no longer asked for Rein's whereabouts.

"Oh, that. Yeah, or, it's okay. Let Rein be with his family first. I understand, how she feels. After this incident, you should introspect yourself, Aska. Your wife is not a doll that is only used as a display at home. Ambu asked Rein to marry you not just to take care of Abian, but so let your real wife. You should learn to love Rein, or. He's been good all along with our family. This is you hurting her heart."

Aska let out her breath hearing Ranti's long advice. Everything her mother said was inversely proportional to reality. It was Rein who left Aska, when the man had already declared his love for his wife.

At that time, Aska pretended to agree with the accusations of her parents, who thought Rein ran away because of being hurt by Aska. The man had no other reason, as he did not know the real reason for Rein's departure.

"Yes, Ambu. Aska. Later if Rein calms down, Aska picks him up at the orphanage," he tells a lie again.

"Well, I, atuh! That's Ambu's son. Uh, where's Bian? You want to talk to her."

Aska choked, a scratch on his forehead indicates if he is confused to answer.

"Aska's? You, tea, still there?"

The mother's question made Aska's mind awake again.

"Yes, Ambu. Aska's still here. Ehm .. but Aska is no longer the same Bian. Ask again for work, Ambu. Bian's at Asti's house."

"Asti still comes to your house often? You, tea, kumaha? Don't tell the Bian to be familiar with Asti, oruh! Later if Rein finds out, he'll get jealous."

"Keep Aska must lead Bian to whom else, Ambu. Bian can not be tipped to just anyone," pleated Aska, "that's also what Rein wants, let Asti be his substitute," Aska continued his words in a slow tone.

"You, tea, by the way what? You are not horrified." Ranti could not hear Aska's last sentence.

"No matter, really. Ambu, it's old, yeah. Ask to continue working." Aska distracts her mother, and wants to end their call.

"Yes, already. Ambu hang up the phone. Later if Rein has come home, Ambu news, yes! You want to talk to him."

"Yes, I'll call Ambu again. Assalamu'alaikum."

After hearing a reply from the other side, Aska pressed the red button to end the call. His mind was completely fucked up. How could he explain to both his parents, if in fact Rein and Abian disappeared together?
