My girlfriend, my mother's boyfriend
Chapter 44's
As soon as Clara arrived in Indonesia, the girl went straight to the hospital to meet her father. Mr. Budi, his father's right hand and successor Burhan welcomed him with a sad face
"How's Papa doing, Om?" clara asked sadly. His eyes were red from crying all the way.
"The doctor is working on the healing of Mr. Agus. We all hope that you will be fine" replied Budi.
After some time waiting finally the door of the operation was opened and some medical team who took care of his father came out of the room.
"Doctor, how's my dad doing?" clara asked with tears she could not hide.
"We've done our best. There are complications in the body of Mr. Agus due to the disease he suffered."
"I beg you to save my father. Do whatever it takes to save my father, Doctor, I beg you." he sobbed.
"We're sorry, we've tried our best. You should see the patient immediately. Surely he would also like to meet you one last time" the doctor said sympathetically.
As soon as Clara entered, her gaze only centered on the pale face of her father lying on the hospital bed helpless. Several hoses were installed on his body, making Clara's grief increase. The man's breath sounded weak.
Clara approached clasping her father's hand as if it was their last meeting.
"Papa, this is Clara coming, Pa," she whispered in her tears.
Agus' current state made him unable to answer his daughter's call. He could only hear and the teardrops in the corner of his eyes indicated that he was so happy to meet his daughter.
"Papa know, I now remember everything" he said, wiping away the tears on his cheek. "I remember our wonderful memories of being with my mom. Papa I miss, I'm sorry, this unfilial child. I should be with you right now, a time when you need me" he said.
Mr. Budi who was in the corner of the room, was powerless and finally came to shed tears.
Agus finally exhaled his breath. The deep sorrow that Clara felt for the departure of her father. There was no one to accompany him when he needed a backrest. The departure of her father makes Clara realize that now she is alone, she must be strong to continue her life.
Agus' funeral was held that day. Clara still faithfully wept for her father's departure by embracing Agus's tombstone. Clara was so devastated, she was crushed to the brink. Her biggest regret was when her father asked her to return to this country Clara turned him down just for fear of meeting with Angkasa. So is the error that should be bestowed on the Space?
"It's Clara we'd better go home" said Tomi, their family's lawyer. Today Mr. Tomi will read the will left by Agus.
Actually Clara did not care about her father's estate but because the lawyer said Agus also left a letter for her that he wrote when the doctor had sentenced her to chronic illness.
Clara's family arrives home. Inside her father's study, Clara, who was sitting down, listened to every line of Tommy's words.
Although not read aloud, everyone must have known that Agus's inheritance would be handed over entirely to his only daughter, Clara.
'Clara's my daughter, please,
When you read this letter, you will no longer be in this world. I hope you stay strong. Do not dissolve in sadness for Papa's departure. Grab your happiness.
Clara, Papa loves you so much, papa would love to spend Papa's last moments with you, but Papa won't force you to come home with Papa. I'm sorry papa, Cla, the last time you visited abroad actually wanted to say about Papa's deteriorating health, but Papa couldn't bear it, didn't want to see you crying and grieving over papa's condition.
Clara, Papa's guilty lot to you, Papa shouldn't have forced you to divorce with space. At the last moment, Papa found out that Tiara had lied to Papa. It turned out that the child he was carrying was papa's flesh blood. He aborted it just for the sake of being with Space.
Papa was guilty to Angkasa who did not believe it at that time, instead asked him to leave you. If you really love Space then pursue your love. Papa hopes that with or without your old memories, you will be happy.
Greetings dear, Papa.'
Clara re-folded the letter, uniting it with her father's will. He will keep it as a memory, like a treasure from his father's legacy.
The girl took a deep breath. In her letter, her father explains about Angkasa and asks her to pursue the man if he is the one Clara loves. But what's the point? it's too late.
"So how could there still be a story between you and me? while by your side is already him, or should I forget you and seek my own happiness? but where is my happiness? as far as I go back to this place I can still find someone who can replace you in my heart."
In order to take care of Marwah her father Clara decided to return to Indonesia. After all, the best graduates abroad like himself would be very easy to get a job in his own country.
It was not until one month that Clara was accepted to work at one of the largest hospitals in Jakarta.
For the business of his father's company, Clara entrusted to Pak Budi who was none other than their own relatives.
When his father was alive, he had already introduced Budi as an honest person, so Clara believed that Budi would be able to develop his father's company.
"Thank you for joining this hospital. Introduce this to my son, doctor Desta," said the head of the hospital as well as the owner of the gem mother hospital.
"I'm Clara" said Clara thrusting her hand before the young and handsome doctor. "It's nice to meet you."
"Together, Doctor. Hopefully we can be a compact team" he smiled, which caught Clara's attention.
Since that introduction Clara and doctor Desta became close. The two often spent time off together. At first Clara was disinclined because of the attention given by the handsome doctor, how not, not once or twice, Desta brought her breakfast. When visiting out of town or traveling abroad as an envoy from the hospital to attend the seminar, Desta will also not forget to bring souvenirs for Clara.
"Don't be too good ah, later I fall in love with you," the teased Clara smiled. Of course, he was just joking with his words.
"You don't know, my goal is to make you fall in love with me."
