Mentari in the Night Sky

Past: Family Compassion

The first greeting I got when I got home was the worried face of my mother. He immediately scanned my body, to check if there were any other injuries besides my cheek. As soon as she made sure there were no other injuries, she immediately gently held onto my swollen and flushed cheeks. He also immediately gave me a hug, ignoring the presence of Stephanie and Caroline.

I haven't seen either father's or William's face. Only my mother and a few servants in my house greeted me with worried faces. Mom pulled my body into the living room after she finished hugging me. It is fitting that I do not see the face of father or William, at this time father is talking with Doctor Anthony and also Doctor Margaret. William was busy with the phone.

If the slap Ken gave me made me call 2 doctors, what would Ken look like tomorrow?

"Does it hurt to be held like this?" doctor Margaret asked while gently touching my cheek.

"Can you open your mouth?"

I obey everything I am told. I have no energy to refute speech or ask the reason 2 doctors are in this house. My body was tired and wanted to lie on the bed.

"The inside of your cheek is torn a little. Looks like Ken slapped you really hard.”

The sentence that had just come out of Doctor Margaret's mouth was able to make father and William turn their attention to me. Dad even came up to me and clasped my right hand tightly. A grasp filled with anger. I held my father's hand with my left. I didn't want Dad to show his anger because I was afraid of what he would do.

William called me because something happened. I let go of my hand because I knew for sure that Dad would never let go of his hand before I let go. I never let go of my father's hand because he wanted to see him release my hand, but he held both hands until he lost a contract worth 5 trillion. From then on, I never waited for Dad to let go of his hand. I don't want the company to lose because of my childish behavior.

“Doctor Margareth!!!" caroline screams filled the family room that had been very quiet.

Doctor Margaret welcomed Caroline's embrace before finally focusing on the wound inside my cheek. Dr. Margaret cleaned up the remnants of the blood and looked once again at my inner cheek until I was sure that the blood was not coming out. Dr. Margaret is currently speaking with Dr. Anthony. Now that I know the connection between the two, Doctor Anthony is the doctor in charge of Dr. Margaret. Moreover, this is the second time I have met him because at first my personal doctor was the same as Arthur. And also before becoming my doctor in charge, Dr. Margaret was the doctor of Stephanie and Caroline. I don't even know how you can take a doctor from the Chester family, where their family is notoriously unwilling to let go of talented people. Or, Doctor Margaret isn't as talented a doctor as I thought?

"The doctor will give you steroids to deal with pain and inflammation. If your inner cheek comes back to bleed, call the doctor."

I just nodded.

"How does the doctor know if Ken slapped me?"

The first question that came out of my mouth and the one that shocked Doctor Margaret.

"All the doctors knew about this. You don't have to worry because this news won't spread to the public" he replied calmly.

"..."

"You should be grateful to have a father and sister who love you so much and love you."

Father's question made the two doctors who had been in the family room follow my father into his study. The mother who had just looked at me now hugged me for the second time after hearing the full story that happened from Stephanie and Caroline's mouth. I am grateful to have friends like them who also earn the trust of my family. I am also grateful because of them, I do not need to always tell all the things that happened and recall the pain that I felt.

"It should have been when he ran away from the meeting that I realized something was wrong" William said as he touched my cheek.

"I'm sorry, I won't let anything like this happen again" William continued.

"Do you do anything to other companies?" ask Arthur.

“What do you mean?” reply William sharp.

"No, Zeta wants to cover up what's going on and then why should I make trouble?" william continued after a moment of silence because Arthur did not answer his question.

"I'm just afraid you're doing something bad."

"Arthur," scolded mom.

"What do you two want to drink? Auntie's gonna get it."

Stephanie and Caroline immediately stood up from where they were sitting, knowing that they were not supposed to be in this room. They decided to take their own drink, as a form of their escape from this room. Mom immediately smiled and took the two friends to the kitchen leaving me with my two brothers.

"You shouldn't beat up Ken and let his father beat him."

"If you're with us then, I'm 100% sure you'll do the same thing I did."

"Can you stop talking about this?" I'm tired of the drama that happened today.

"From now on, I'm not going to let someone get to you easily" William said before dying in the living room.

"I agree with him. I won't let my sister get hurt a second time."
