LOVE & VENGEANCE

Five Candidates

“Master..”

Gerry walked into Anshell's office with five blue maps.

“I'm no longer in the mood to take care of Gerry's work, just leave it to Jordan. Tell the man to take care of all the company” said Anshell while twitching her dizzy throbbing temple.

Gerry nodded in understanding, the middle-aged man placed five blue maps right in front of his master.

“I'm not here to bring work documents, sir. But, I brought the documents of five prospective kidney donors. Two of the old are women who are willing to give their kidneys with a large fee,” said Gerry.

“Price is not a problem for me. I just want my Mommy to be healthy again that's what's more important.”

Gerry gave a nod of understanding. “Have you investigated the case of the successive accidents that left Mommy and my sister seriously injured?”

Anshell retrieves the map placed by Gerry. “According to eyewitnesses, the car in Kendari Jojo suffered a brake blong to hit a truck load of building goods until it resulted in a consecutive accident.”

“Oh, yes. What about Jojo?”

“Jojo critical and equal be in operating room.”

Anshell rounded his eyeballs, the man gasped in shock at the final map.

“He donated his kidney too?”

“Meanour, Nona—”

Aretha hugged the pale-faced ten-year-old boy. “Tante is glad you're out of the hospital.”

Viola smiled weakly while Beby smiled bitterly. Her daughter was forced to be discharged because the doctor had raised his hand. “Doctor deliberately sent me home, Aunt.”

Aretha glared, looking at Bebby standing in the doorway. “What do you mean, Beb? Why did the doctor send Viola home?”

Bebby approached and hugged Aretha. The woman was crying in the arms of her best friend.

“You'll be healed, son. I promise you'll be healed.”

“Bu...” Ogre Viola rubbed the crying shoulder of Bebby. “Viola no longer works. Viola's coming, Mom. Most of the cost will be great if Viola is in the hospital,” said daughter Bebby.

“Husshh. Bebby's gonna get well, Grandma's sure. We go to the state hospital in Bandung tomorrow. You don't give up well, cu.”

Nek Ijah hugged his only grandson and also the two women beside him.

“Don't give up, son, I beg you. You must be strong, do not think about the cost of treatment. I will try my hardest so that you recover.”

Dygta wiped her tears listening to the cries of the woman in the pink-painted room. “Mother appointment, if Viola recovers. I'll take Viola to Korea to meet Viola's idol there, Promise's mother. But, you must recover first, son.”

Beby clasped tightly onto the princess' hand, a hand so small. “Bu..”.

“Please don't talk to others. Mom and Grandma are planning to take you to Bandung. You'll heal there. Please, I can't afford to lose you, son.”

Aretha nodded slowly accompanied by crying as well as Nek Ijah who had always been with his favorite grandson where Bebby worked hard to find money for the treatment of his daughter.

The sacrifice of a mother is so great, even for the sake of the recovery of the princess who suffered from leukemia makes Bebby decide a shortcut to find big money for the treatment of Viola is not small.

By being a night woman at Club Madam Olive, Bebby was able to pay for the room and medicine with a large amount.

“Prepare your goods. We go to Singapore,” said someone who had just entered a pink room.

The four women who were crying were suddenly arriving by Toby and were already standing in front of him. “You mean?”

“I need an explanation, Beb. But I want you to explain after we go to Singapore.

"There was one of Anshell's friends in Singapore who dealt with diseases like this. So, please don't waste time because another hour my plane has to fly,” said Toby did not want to be denied again.

This is to save the princess, her future stepson. He was equally unwilling to lose the beautiful princess who looked at him with a sad look.

“Come, Mom. Pack.”

“But, Son. Should I go there with a passport? I don't have a passport.”

Toby snorted softly, of course, he had everything ready when Nek Ijah and Beby were told to go to the public health office to take care of all insurance for Viola.

“By..” call Bebbey slim. The woman looked at Toby with tears.

Beby was ashamed of Toby's kindness all along. Toby hugged the four women in front of him even though the two arms that stretched out long were not enough to hug them all.

“Sssstt…. You don't have to cry. I will suffer more if you in particular, are discouraged.”

Toby grabbed a pale little hand, the man smiled widely. “I want you healed. Can my daughter be excited to fight for life?”

Viola nodded slowly. “Thank you, Om.”

Toby gave a slow nod. “Now, come. We get ready.”

Nek Ijah nodded slowly, and he quickly got ready to go to Singapore while Aretha helped Nek Ijah.

Bebby hugged his beloved playboy. “Thank you very much, By..”

Toby kissed the top of Beby's head while holding his hand. “Health Viola more important, Beb. I'm the same as you, I don't want to lose my step-son candidate,” said Toby accompanied by laughter.

Viola laughed softly. “Thank you, Om. Already love Viola and also Mother.”

Toby gave a slow nod with an answer.

 Twenty minutes later…

“You come with me. You have a passport, right?”

Aretha gave a slow nod, she's got. Anshell used to make it unbeknownst to him the same as what the man did when explaining where the man could get a passport for his family.

“Tomorrow I work.”

“Depart from there only, use the morning plane with Dygta. How?”

“Yes, Tha. Yuk, rather than your own at home,” persuaded Beby.

Dygta helps the tie guy who knows who it is carrying his belongings, for a while until Viola recovers Mom and her brother will live in the bule man's apartment.

Aretha took a slow breath. “Darren how?”

“Ah. Yeah, I forgot. He's out of the operating room. Thank God, the operation went smoothly though—”

“While what?”

Toby took a slow breath. “He will be disabled. Roll the ribs patas, Aretha.”

Aretha's eyes widened with a gaping mouth. Toby clasped Aretha's hand tightly. “His family will bring treatment abroad to restore the state of Darren.”

“Trust me, Darren strong he will recover.”

Bebby hugged Aretha. “He will be fine, Tha.”

“But he's like that because of me, Beb. I swear, I'm so guilty.”

“It's best we go. Dara's gonna call me for Darren's progress. We go now yuk,” take Toby.

Aretha stared at the simple new house before her eyes, Aretha was silent for a moment to decide if she would stay or follow them.

The village girl wanted to atone for all her sins to Darren. “Come..”

Aretha took a slow breath, she gave a slow nod and went along with Toby and Bebby.

“Ka Aretha…. Can you come home?”

While waiting for the next chapter, stop by my friend's work first, thank you
