It Turns out I'm the Second
Ch.60 Rainbow after the storm
Gathan is on his way to his apartment. He drove his car at high speed. Lucky day is already at night so the streets are not crowded creeping like this afternoon which is indeed the time for people to come home from work, college, school, and others.
This time Gathan was driving alone, while Erwin was getting something assigned. Along the way his brain kept thinking, remembering something he had discussed with Nanda when they did the pillow talk. Well, pillow talk between husband and wife is good, not only to familiarize themselves, but also to get to know each other better and make the couple more harmonious and happy. When pillow talk sometimes we not only share the story, but also share something stored in the deepest recesses of the heart.
Like that night, Gathan suddenly recalled the photo of Nanda's parents, so he tried to ask about the parents. From the story, he knew, if his mother had died when he was not even 3 years old invited the sister who was still in the womb.
Regarding the father, Nanda tells him that his father actually still exists, but his father hated him from childhood. He had a grandmother and grandfather, then an uncle. His grandmother and grandfather died before he left his father's house.
Gathan grimaced when he heard the story of how his father who did not like to see his whereabouts, therefore, even though he had an uncle who loved him, he still chose to leave when he was 10 years old.
When he left, he met Rieke's mother who was sorry to see him sitting alone at the stop when it was raining.
Therefore, Gathan drove his car at high speed to his apartment to see a picture of Nanda's father. He hopes to know the figure Nanda calls the father. He hopes his father is still there and willing to help even if he hates Nanda.
Gathan was actually curious how little Nanda lived. What is the reason why my father hates him? There's no smoke if there's no fire, right? There must be something behind the father's hatred for Nanda. But let it be business later. Most importantly now, she must find out where Nanda's father is. Only that photo could he make a clue at this moment.
Upon arrival in the basement of the apartment, Gathan immediately exited and ran to the mini lobby and then into the elevator that will take him to the floor where the unit is located.
Gathan opens the apartment door rudely, no matter it has not been closed perfectly because his goal now is to find a photo of Nanda's father. Gathan checks Nanda's things one by one to find his picture. But he found it nowhere. Gathan also checked under the pillow, just in case Nanda kept it there after taking off the miss, but nothing. In the wardrobe, in the nightstand drawer, nothing.
Gathan grabbed his hair in frustration trying to think where else if Nanda kept a photo that would have been very valuable to his wife.
As soon as Gathan remembered, there was one thing he had not checked.
"Bag .. yes, Nanda's bag. Let's just hope the picture of Nanda's father is in that bag." he murmured.
Gathan, who was still wearing a shirt complete with a tie, even without a bandaged suit, immediately stretched his tie to relieve his breath. Then he took his cell phone and contacted the security department of the Bintang apartment.
"Well, can I help you, sir?" say the security when they know the call came from one of the residents of the apartment where he was guarding.
"Is my wife's bag still there?" ask Gathan to the point.
"Oh, this is Mr. Gathan. Ada sir. It's here." he said.
"I'll go down there and get it." Gathan said, then closed the call without further ado.
Upon arrival at the apartment lobby, Gathan headed straight for the security room. Then he immediately checked the contents of Nanda's bag, hoping that a photo of his parents was in there. After some time searching, Gathan finally found the photo in his wallet.
Gathan took the photo and looked closely at the person in the photo. The photo looks very shabby, not to mention the tear marks connected with tape makes Gathan difficult to know him. The man in the photo looks very young, of course he will have more trouble recognizing it. But ... The face was a little familiar in Gathan's eyes. And it's similar to Nanda, like the male version of Nanda.
Then Gathan flipped over the photo and found something behind it.
...Doni Kusuma's...
"What's possible?" muttered Gathan wondering in his mind.
Until the sound of the phone ringing interrupted his daydream. Gathan immediately grabbed his phone which was in his pants pocket. His forehead immediately furrowed with furrowed brows.
"Hello sir Gathan, assalamu'alaikum." said Doni when his call was raised by Gathan.
"Yes sir, wa'alaikum salam." said Gathan with an expression that I don't know.
"Sir Gathan, I'm sorry I just read your message. My blood type just happens to be AB-I therefore contacted you to offer to be a donor for your wife. Do you still need it?" ask Doni without hesitation.
The wrinkle on his forehead became more visible when he heard Doni's speech. Then Gathan flipped over the photo again and looked at it with great aim. His heart instantly beat violently upon discovering this unexpected fact.
"Sir Doni Nanda's father?" it's in the heart.
Not getting the sahutan from Gathan made Doni's forehead wrinkle deep. He looked at the screen of his phone, it was still connected. He thought his call was unbroken.
"Hello sir Gathan! Are you still there?" call on Doni to break Gathan's daydream.
"Oh yes, Mr. Doni, I'm sorry I'm still upset. If possible, please help sir. My wife is critical right now and we have not found a suitable donor" Gathan said.
"Alright, tell me the location of the hospital. I'll be sliding there soon." he concluded for sure. Gathan agreed and immediately mentioned the name of the hospital and the location of his room.
Gathan rushed back to the hospital. During the trip, Gathan was unceasingly thinking. He hoped Nanda could save him. He also hopes to meet Nanda with his father. However Gathan knows, Nanda misses his father so much that his father never wants his presence. So does Doni, he believes Doni misses Nanda very much. Especially when he remembered his last conversation when he was reviewing the project with Doni.
You are a dream husband! If my daughter was still there, maybe I'd betrothed to you first." said Doni while chuckling.
"There yet? You mean he's gone?"
"Oh, no. It's not like that. But he's gone. Go leave papa breng-seknya this. I was not a responsible parent so my son left me when he was very small." sigh Doni full of regrets.
"Are you not trying to find it?" ask Gathan curiously.
"Of course, but we found no trace of him. I'm really sorry I never acted the way a father should. I always hurt him. I can only pray that his life will be good and that he will be surrounded by good people who truly love him."
"Aamiin."
Upon arrival at the hospital, at the same time Doni arrived so they walked together to the doctor's room to undergo a first examination before the blood collection process.
Lavina and Ganindra are delighted that Gathan has finally received a blood donor so that Nanda's surgery can be prepared immediately.
The operation this time was led by a senior obgyn doctor who turned out to be the younger brother of Doni himself, the Radika doctor. Gathan was very surprised. There was a rainbow after the storm. It seems that this accident event provides its own wisdom, namely the meeting of Nanda and the two people who mean in his life. But Gathan hasn't revealed any of this. He wanted to focus on the Nanda treatment process. He wants this happy news to be a cover for Nanda's wounds that will certainly be very sad because of the loss of their prospective baby. Even with his parents, Gathan has not revealed it.
Gathan only asked the father to immediately report Reza and Freya to the police, not just because of fraud, but also the case of the attempted murder of Freya committed on Nanda which resulted in the prospective baby could not be saved and made his beloved wife in a critical state. Gathan has handed over evidence, including CCTV footage around the apartment that will certainly make Freya unable to dwell.
