Married for Papa

Hospital

Bandung

cring cring

Bryan's cell phone rang out loud and filled the hospital corridor. Bryan stared at the phone screen to see who was calling at night.

"Daddy." Bryan murmured while sliding the green button on the flat object.

"Halo daddy, yes, my grandmother is in the hospital room. Aunty Merlin said, grandma had fainted because she was worried about being taken to the hospital."

"The doctor said the grandmother passed out due to high blood pressure (hypertension).

His blood pressure reaches 200/120 mmHg while the normal blood pressure of an adult is 120/80 mmHg.

Already done examination of blood-urine tests, radiology and ECG and the doctor stated that the grandmother had malignant hypertension, which is severe hypertension that is an emergency. Fortunately, it was immediately taken to the hospital so it could be treated immediately. It's likely that grandma will be treated for the next few days." Bryan explained at length the state of grandmother to her daddy.

While there, Reymond seemed worried about her in-laws. It's not that he doesn't want to visit just that he already made an appointment with Alexander to discuss Aluna and Bryan's matchmaking plan. Because he did not want to disappoint so Ayunda mommy Bryan asked Reymond to keep coming while he and Bryan decided to go to Bandung without Reymond's company. Shera is not coming because she is currently focusing on the midterms.

"Ry, who's calling from?" Ask Ayunda to her eldest son.

"Oh, this is from daddy."

"Where, mommy wants to talk to your daddy."

Bryan gave his cell phone to Mommy.

"Hello dad, how was the show. A success? Mommy really wants to meet Aluna. She must be so beautiful right now like her mom." Disappointed look emanated on the face of Ayunda's ayu.

"Success mom, only Aluna has not been able to give certainty to us because he thinks this is too sudden. Yes, I hope Aluna will accept this match."

"Yes dad, mommy was hoping that Aluna could be our daughter-in-law. Mommy's been loving Aluna since she was a kid."

"Keep how's Alex, dad?"

"Alhamdulillah healthy mom. Alex is still the way he used to be, nothing changes just the age that's growing."

Ayunda chuckled at her husband's words.

"Would this matchmaking make Bryan forget the girl?" Ayunda seemed doubtful about her husband's decision to match Bryan to Aluna.

"Mommy take it easy, I'm sure 100% sooner or later Bryan will forget about the girl. It's as good as the girl is that Bryan can't forget her?" reymond answered Ayunda's question.

"Mommy was afraid of dad, if the marriage happened to make Aluna tormented. Wanted to put where our faces are if Bryan reaches Aluna." Ayunda's complaint to Reymond.

"Mommy don't think too much about that. Let me and Alex take care of that." Reymond is still trying to convince Ayunda.

"Alright, I trust you dad."

"Yes dad, mommy wants to go to the cafeteria first. Mommy's stomach is hungry. I haven't eaten anything since. Bye daddy!"

"Bye mom!"

Ayunda returned the phone to Bryan and walked towards the elevator leaving Bryan alone in the hospital corridor.

"Ry, are you serious about accepting this match? Don't let you disappoint us! Remember, once you make a mistake daddy won't forgive you." Threat Reymond.

"If daddy's been pushy, what can I do? Besides the girl I love so much has gone to leave me somewhere. So there's no reason for me to refuse."

A sneaky smile was painted on Reymond's face.

"Good, daddy's proud of you, son. Yeah, daddy hang up. You rest. Take good care of your mom and grandmother. If the condition of the grandmother has improved, immediately return to Jakarta. We'll discuss the continuation of your match."

Eventually the phone call ended.

But Bryan was still at the end of the hospital corridor. He seemed to be thinking about something. To think of someone he loves more than anything in this world. Someone who is so important in his life even Bryan willing to give the whole world to the girl.

Bryan's memories go back to the past, his first meeting with Eliza. A girl who was loved by him. Helper girl and at the same time Bryan's first love. Then Bryan took out the latest flat object with the logo of the apple bitten in the upper right corner. His finger touched the phone screen and searched for someone's name.

"Hello Rudy, have you found Eliza's whereabouts?"

"Not yet sir, we have not found any information about Miss Eliza. Looks like someone deliberately blocked access to find Miss Eliza's current whereabouts. Even our trustworthy people give up." Rudy was Bryan's confidant.

Rudy is a confidant and Bryan's best friend. They were friends when they were both still sitting in High School. Rudy was the second person to meet Bryan at High School after Eliza.

"What?! How could such a man give up. Aren't you taking care of it?" bryan shouted in frustration. He was not aware of his words that were bothering hospital visitors. All eyes were on him.

Finally Bryan shrank the volume of the sound so as not to disturb other visitors.

"Continue looking for information lest you just give up. Anyway, I have to meet! I don't want to hear any excuses. Understood?" Bryan said in a whisper.

"Good sir."

Bryan turned off his cell phone and walked into the hospital's VIP classroom. There lay a grandmother who was resting. Realizing that someone had entered, the grandmother finally woke up and saw who had come. It turned out Bryan was the grandmother's favorite grandson who came.

"You why Ry? Why is your face so tangled? Are you making a fuss again with your daddy?" Grandma's full of questions.

The confusion between Bryan and Reymond is no longer a secret. The whole Ayunda family in Yogyakarta and the Smith family in London already knew. So do not be surprised if there are times when they often disagree.

"No grandma, I'm not in trouble with daddy."

"Grandmother listen, she said your daddy is planning to match you with his best friend's daughter. Is true?"

"Yes, daddy met his best friend."

"Continue how does it go? When's your engagement date?"

"Don't know, daddy called just to make sure that I'm willing to marry his best friend." Bryan's face was sad.

Grandma Rina knew the sadness of her beloved granddaughter immediately stroked Bryan's right hand gently. As if giving strength. Bryan was indeed very close to Rina's grandmother even closer than her mommy.

"Ry, grandma knows until this moment you still love Eliza. Still expecting her back but what your parents did according to grandma was for your sake. They don't want you to drag on in grief. Eliza's been gone a long time leaving you Ry. He left without saying goodbye and did not give you any news. Your mommy and daddy are no longer young, they need a successor to the Smith family lineage. While in our family, you are the only son so there is great hope for us so that you immediately give this family successor. You understand Ry?"

Only Lina's grandmother understood Bryan's feelings. Even if Bryan is cold and indifferent but to Rina's grandmother he can melt.

"Understanding grandma." Said Bryan while hugging Grandma Rina.
