Isekai: Princess Marquess Becomes Entrepreneur of Tempe

Chapter 61. Testamentary

"... lona..."

Elona blinked her eyes before her petals opened perfectly. He is currently in his room again, after days of unconsciousness.

"Elona..."

There came a voice calling out the girl's name. The voice he so longed for was now in front of him.

"Sister Stefan..."

"Elona! Thank goodness you were sober!" Rejoicing Stefan immediately hugged his sister's body.

Elona tried to get out of her sleep and leaned back. Before him, there was his brother and Art who were faithfully waiting for him to recover from his stings.

"Sir is not here...? Where's Brother Iris?" Elona asked in a tone that still sounded weak.

"Iris can't come here, honey. She's pregnant right now, can't go too far."

"Sister Iris is pregnant?"

"Really! Soon, you'll have a nephew!" sahut Stefan's. "Then from that, you need to get well quickly, yes!"

Elona smiled bitterly in response. "I'm glad that's what will happen. But I won't be able to meet my niece..."

"What do you mean, Elona?"

"Sister.I'm not Tara. It's Elona, your real sister..."

So surprised Stefan when negating the statement that came out of his sister's mouth that he was fixated not budging. Samoai in the end, he made a sound,

"You're not Tara...?! Elona... Are you alive?!!"

Elona nodded her head weakly. "Yes, brother. I'm gonna go here. And after that, Tara will live as me forever..."

"Wait on! Wait!!" Art who had been silent, finally opened his voice. The man looked back and forth at Stefan and Elona alternately in surprise.

"Elona, who's Tara? What do you mean you're leaving here??"

Hearing Art's question just now, Elona smiled. Then, he stared fixedly at Art.

"Hi, Art, I finally got to meet you. Greetings yes, my name is Elona..."

"What do you mean by 'salam know'?! We've known each other for a long time, and it's even been a year!" art did not understand.

"Hehe, Art, the girl you love is not me, but Tara. All this time, she had possessed my body and lived as me in my place." replied Elona while chuckling.

"Wait on! Whatchu mean? I don't understand anymore!" Art seems to be confused by what Elona said.

"The story is quite long. You said that time to Tara, you would understand right, if told the truth?"

Art nodded even though his heart was unsure.

Elona continued, "Well, let me tell you everything now..."

Meanwhile, on earth.

The sound of the hospital machine sounds slowly in a constant rhythm. A girl has been lying in bed for a year. The girl did not open her eyes.

At the side of the bed sat a young man wearing a casual suit, with a backpack he had just dropped from his back. The young man had just finished his last course of the day, and went straight to the hospital afterwards, to meet the comatose girl.

The young man looked at the girl. She wore the girl's long hair affectionately, and let her catch the hand she was holding.

"Tara... It's me, Geri. I came again to see you.." said the young man slowly.

A thousand regrets were present in the young man's heart. Geri is completely inexhaustible at the betrayal she committed on a girl as good as Tara. In fact, it was he who chased Tara despite being rejected many times by her. Though, Tara had made him promise to make her happy because it was the first courting experience for the girl.

However, Geri is foolishly obsessed with the charm of Ira, Tara's cousin. According to Geri at the time, Ira was more able to be invited to have fun outside the house than Tara who always struggled with books. Geri just wanted to have fun for a moment. The road with Ira on the night of the accident was also the first time. He did not expect that Tara would catch him and even experience the fateful incident.

"Tara.I'm sorry.I'm sorry..."

Again, the young man wept for what had happened, as he had done every night since the girl had not awoken from her long slumber.

Suddenly, Geri felt the hand she was holding moving. The girl's spring was raised slightly, making the young man immediately greet her with a sigh. Coupled with Tara's eyelids that began to open slowly.

"Tara...? Tara! Are you conscious?!"

Geri tries to call out the girl's name to make sure that her vision is not wrong.

Tara opened her eyes and felt pain all over her body, despite having been given painkillers. Then, he saw a true Geri waiting for him, as he saw from a dream with Elona.

"Yes, Tara! It´s me! Thank goodness! I'll call the doctor first, yes." said Geri then about to get out of his chair and call, "Doctor! Doc-"

"Geri.. do not need to be called. I can not be long..." Tara prevents Geri from calling the doctor to ensure her health. But Tara herself knew that she would not be there much longer.

Geri also undoes the intention while frowning her forehead in confusion. "What does that mean, you can't stay long? Don't talk about it! No kidding!"

"I'm serious, Geri. My time isn't here much longer..."

"Tara.. don't talk like that..."

Tears trickled back on the cheeks of the man, after his feelings had been merry because he thought, he could make up for his mistakes and repeat the times with his lover. However, Tara's words shattered her hopes.

"I'm sorry. I was wrong. I won't cheat again.. but please don't go.." said Geri in a very clear tone.

"Geri.. I'm sorry you. don't cry anymore, yeah.it's all gone..."

"Neither..."

"I'm asking for one thing please..."

"What's? Whatever I do!" geri Sahut. Tara smiled at him.

"Get me my phone. Please find it, there's Om Wijaya's phone number, my parents' lawyer, call him and tell him to come here soon, yes..."

"Okay, wait a minute, yeah."

Geri also took Tara's phone lying on the table at the side of the bed. The phone has been here and there and become police evidence for the accident case that Tara experienced, until now it has returned to its owner. The LCD screen seemed to crack from being thrown when the collision occurred, but it was still able to function. Immediately, Geri opened the contact menu and searched for Wijaya's name.

The man then called the person in question. A few tens of minutes later, a middle-aged man with a half-bald head and a black suit came rushing into the room. As soon as he saw Tara who was awake, his face immediately sumringah.

"The tar! You are conscious! Geri said, You call Om?"

"Om Wijaya. This is about my parents' legacy...

I want to ask for help, so that Om helps me pay the cost of this hospital if something is constrained... Then, help me pay the cost of my rented room on Jl. Jasmine...

Then.. I want to donate all the rest to the orphanage foundation...

Please Om, let no dime fall into the hands of one of my relatives..."

Tara took a deep breath from the oxygen mask attached to her mouth and nose. Wijaya had recorded all the wishes of his late client's daughter carefully.

"Tara, why do you want to spend all your money on donations?!" ask the man not to understand. Tara just smiled weakly.

"The time I have here won't be long, Om..."

Tara closed her eyes for a moment. He heard Stefan's voice calling his name in his mind.

Wijaya handed Tara a piece of paper and said, "Sign these letters, then your request that just now will be valid in the eyes of the law as a will."

With the help of Geri, who helps hold the pen, Tara can sign all the files.

When she finished, Tara smiled again. One by one between Wijaya and Geri. It was just the two of them that he had right now.

"Om Wijaya, thank you for coming. Wijaya stroked the girl's head lovingly and with tears.

"Either. You're all good people, I'm glad to know your family..." Wijaya nodded his head.

Tara turned to Geri. "Hey, don't cry, yeah..."

"Neither..."

"Geri... continue to live well, make all this a lesson. later on in time you can fall in love again, do not hurt your partner...

Don't forget to eat regularly.You sometimes get angry if I remind you, hehe.. starting tomorrow, I can't already ngingetin you again. don't forget to finish your lecture with passion also yes..."

"Yes, yes, I promise, Tara. I promise..."

Inside his head, Stefan's voice was getting more and more audible although it was still vague. Tara knows, it's time she left.

Slowly, Tara closed her eyes, and left her home world for good, accompanied by a broken cry from her former lover.
