Husband From Hell (Home From Hell)

The Ending Part 9

After about six hours, the doctor finally came out of the operating room.

"doctor, how's my son doing?" ask Mr. Jhonson. Natalie, who was seen daydreaming, immediately moved out of her chair to hear the doctor's answer, followed by Selly and Reynald, who helped Merry walk in her wheelchair.

"Yes, doc. How's Nicholas doing?" Reynald.

the doctor looks sad. It seems like bad news will be received.

"dok, my husband is fine right?" natalie's voice shook back.

"Sheel, relax!" Selly's trying to strengthen. He hugged his body from the side.

"I'm sorry! .. but I have to tell you the truth."

The atmosphere grew tense, as the doctor explained the actual results.

the doctor began to explain .......

"Cannot be. This is impossible, doc. You must be lying!!!" Natalie couldn't accept the doctor's answer. Likewise with Merry, his body that was too fragile again shaken when he heard the answer from the doctor. He fainted again.

"Nicholas, my son." Merry fell unconscious.

"Mom Merry, wake up, Mom!" Reynald tried to wake up. But it seemed like Merry was really shaken to hear that harsh reality. Reynald immediately asked a nurse to take Merry. "Honey, accompany Ms. Merry with this nurse" Reynald told Selly. "They'll give her an infusion!"

"I_yes." Selly quickly tailed behind the nurse pushing Merry's wheelchair, while Natalie was still struggling to believe what was happening.

"Nicholas, wake up, Nic. Banguuun!!!" he wailed bitterly while staring at Nicholas' face behind the window.

Flashback that night

After the dance, Natalie and Nicholas were still on the boat to enjoy the beautiful night around the open ocean.

Nicholas stroked his woman's hair softly, while occasionally joking with laughter as if there was never a burden between them.

Late at night, the sleepy Natalie finally falls asleep in Nicholas' lap.

Seeing the woman asleep, a smile on Nicholas' lips flashed. "Sleep my wife! ..Dream beautiful! remove all the burden of your pain with me."

Suddenly Nicholas's head was throbbing violently. His eyesight was as though it was twitching.

He tried to inhale deeply, repeating it several times in order to slightly relieve the pain.

The way it is done seems quite successful, at least the pain is slightly reduced even though it does not disappear completely.

He stroked the hair of the woman in his arms, moved to his cheeks and then his lips.

"Who will the lucky man fill your heart, Nat? I hope you'll love another man and live happily with him."

Seeing quite sound, Nicholas then carried the body of a woman in a dress that ala bridal. He went in and laid his woman's body on the bed. He looked at his face for a while, wondering in his heart if God would still be kind enough to give him more time.

But it seems not, because again the pain in his head came, this time more gripping. Nicholas is not strong anymore. He hurried to the toilet because nausea also suddenly attacked him.

Uekks

He spilled the liquid that was in his stomach. His eyes were again twitching, and his body was weak instantly.

Suddenly the shadow of death seemed to flash across him. And he accidentally saw the face of his sister, Lucia, smiling at him.

"Sister, come on! .. It's time for Brother to go home!"

The voice of Lucia, Nicholas' sister who had gone before him was loud in Nicholas' ear.

This was truly his last day in the world.

"Sister, come!" Lucia's voice was heard calling out to him. Nicholas hurriedly rubbed his face, and the shadow disappeared instantly.

"It's just a dream." He tried to convince his heart that this was just his feeling.

With staggered steps, Nicholas returned to his room. He then picked up a piece of paper and a pen inside the table. I don't know why he wanted to write a letter.

Then he sat in the chair.

The letter was apparently going to be given to two women he loved very much.

Merry and of course Natalie.

With the pain running high, Nicholas wrote the letter. When he finished, Nicholas folded the two letters. She wrapped it in the same colored envelope. One she wrote 'For my greatest woman, Mother' and 'For my most beautiful woman, Natalie."

After writing the letter, Nicholas came out of his room.

She came back soon, and then she sat down next to Natalie.

For a few minutes he kept staring at the face of a woman who he might not be able to see again tomorrow.

Although honestly deep down, Nicholas was very afraid to part with Natalie, but it seems he really had to accept whatever the decision of God. Because he knew this must be the best for both of them.

After the clock showed at 00:00, Nicholas also fell asleep next to Natalie with a hug position.

"Lord, if this is the last time I hold her, allow me to give my warmest hug to this woman I love the most. And one day I'll find us back in the most beautiful place you have."

After saying Nicholas's do'a, he closed his eyes, and it seemed to be true, it was the last time Nicholas closed his eyes. Because the next morning, Nicholas was found unconscious.

His eyes were closed and could no longer open.

doctors even predicted Nicholas would not return, because the disease that spread in his brain apparently has spread throughout his body, and it resulted in Nicholas experiencing total paralysis, both brain and physical. That means little hope Nicholas has for life again.

Flashback off

"Pa, Rey, tell me this is just a dream, right?" as if asking for a defense, but reality is inevitable. Nicholas is currently just waiting for that time, the time when Nicholas is really gone for good.

"I've only been dealing with cases like this for the first time" said the doctor, "it seems that there is something burdensome for Nicholas, because of the cases we have received before, he said, patients who experience total paralysis like this usually will not survive anymore."

Hearing those words, Natalie suddenly remembered her request that night with Nicholas. The promise and request Nicholas made. The promise to be next to Natalie until the child in Natalie's womb is born into the world.

Flashbacks

"I promise, Nat. I will endure until our child is born into this world. I promise, I'll hold on as long as I can."

Flashback off

Natalie's tears spilled again, she couldn't.

"Is this what you meant to hold on for me?" natalie said as she sobbed.

Soon he fell unconscious too.

"Natalie!!!" Reynald immediately carried Natalie's body to take care of the nurse, while Mr. Jhonson who was helpless could only resignedly see the reality before his eyes. The fact that the child he raised lovingly will soon leave him.

The elderly Mr. Jhonson cannot do much at this time, because his body is weak. Thankfully, there was Reynald. He's taking care of all of Nicholas's problems there, as well as Natalie and Merry.

Now that Mr. Jhonson realized, why at that time Nicholas insisted on donating his blood to Reynald, it turns out that Nicholas was very hopeful for the man to take care of his wife.

Flashback at that time

When Reynald lost a lot of blood after being shot by Erick.

Reynald's rare blood type resulted in the unavailability of stock in the hospital, requiring them to wait for blood to be sent from outside.

"Nicho, you can't do this!" Jhonson balked when he was asked to sign a certificate that Nicholas was willing to donate his blood in a state of severe pain.

"Pa, we don't have much time left. Reynald must survive."

Nicholas is the one who donated it.

"But Nicho! the doctor said it was very dangerous for you. It could make your illness worse."

"Your father is right, Nicho. You don't have to do this. It's very dangerous for you" said the doctor. Actually from the beginning the doctor also opposed, but Nicholas still insisted on donating his blood for renyald. Especially when he saw the look on Selly's face that was so afraid of losing Reynald.

"Our men are on the road carrying blood for Rey. Let's just wait!"

"Are you sure your man's gonna be there on time?" ask Nicholas.

the doctor looked down. If according to the estimated schedule the nurse will not come on time, because Reynald's circumstances are very critical, and must immediately get treatment, if not, I don't know.

Seeing the answer without a sound, finally Nicholas determination more rounded, he will still donate his blood to help Rey. Whatever happens.

"Pa, hurry up!. .. sign this! we don't have much time left."

"Nicho, why are you doing this, son? why are you thinking only of Rey? why don't you think about yourself. You also need to be noticed. You're my son, and Papa doesn't want you to do anything. Why are you so selfish?"

Nicholas placed the letter on the table, and he held both hands of his adoptive father.

"Pa, listen to me carefully. I'll only talk once because we don't have much time."

Nicholas took a deep breath.

"You know, if my disease is not necessarily curable" said Nicholas with teary eyes.

Likewise with Jhonson, he also had no power to hold back his tears.

"So soon, sooner or later, I'm going to leave, with or without donating my blood to Reynald."

Nicholas clenched Jhonson's hand. "While Reynald still has a chance of living longer than me, Pa."

Jhonson's heart was sorely sliced at the sight of that fact.

"Nicho please, Pa. Allow Nicho to help Rey. At least this is a form of gratitude Nicho because Rey has helped Nicho and Natalie a lot."

"After all, there's nothing Nicho believes in keeping Natalie and our family apart from Rey, Pa. Nicho needs Rey. He must stay alive to keep Natalie later if Nicho finally leaves, until ..." Nicholas' remark stalls. "until Natalie finds Nicho's replacement later on."

The hearts of anyone there must be sliced to hear and see how much love Nicholas has for his family, especially his mother and wife.

"Nicho please, yes, Pa!"

With a raging heart Jhonson was finally willing to sign the statement.

"Nicholas, son. Later you will get a reward for all your kindness, son." Jhonson hugged him after putting his signature on the paper.

The affidavit if Jhonson knew and agreed Nicholas to donate his blood to Reynald without anyone's coercion, and nothing if later found severe side effects due to the donation, he said, the doctor and the hospital are not responsible, and the risk is fully borne by the donor, Nicholas Jhonson.

After getting permission from the donor's parents, the doctor immediately rushed a blood transfusion, and finally Reynald could survive the kindness of a Nicholas. The man he served for years.

Nicholas looked at Reynald's face.

It suddenly struck Nicholas in the mind when Reynald first introduced himself as his personal driver. Nicholas never thought if eventually the relationship will end this beautiful.

He stared at Reynald's face, still lying weakly beside him. "Rey, thank you for all your kindness so far. I'm lucky to know you. I did all this as a token of gratitude for all your kindness. And one more thing. I beg! when you get back to health, take care of my mother, wife and child, just like you've been looking after me all along!"
