POV AUTHOR_
As soon as he got home, Yanpa wasted Nathan's time going inside. His heart was worried thinking about Arsy.
"Assynoltom..."
"Vaalaikumsalam.. Well that's papa coming." said Bi Munah, as soon as he saw Nathan's arrival.
Bi Munah was coaxing Arsy in the TV room while holding a plate of food.
"Hello, princess papa..."
Arsy hugged Nathan tightly.
"Papa... Where's Mama Nindi? why not come home with the same papa?"
Nathan tried to smile, though in his heart it hurt.
"Prophey yes.Mama still have to rest in the hospital. Arsy why? don't want to eat, do you?"
Arsy shook his head, "I want to see Mama."
"Hemm... What if Arsy eats papa now? look papa's stomach is also empty, has not eaten. If Arsy doesn't want to eat, who's going to eat dong?"
Bi Munah who knew the state of Nindi, could only endure the crying of seeing the interaction of the two. He felt sorry for Nathan, because he went back to experiencing something like this.
Hopefully Neng Nindi survived, and can be reunited in this family.
Arsy rubbed Nathan's face gently, the little girl was very sensitive. He knew his father was sad.
"Cup. Papa don't cry. Papa is big, can eat alone. So even if you haven't come home yet, you should still eat dong."
Nathan laughed and listened to his daughter. How could he be this weak?
Even her little daughter was comforting her now.
"Yes princess.then papa clean up first yes, after that we eat and pray for mama's recovery."
Arsy nodded his head, "Yes papa."

Tomorrow, though,
Nathan comes early in the morning to the hospital, to take turns looking after Nindi.
But, once it gets there.. Nathan is shocked by the arrival of Bu Gea.
"Why are you here?" ask Nathan.
"Where is Faizal? I also want to visit Nindi."
Nathan's eyes were beaming, "So... Aunty knows from Faizal?"
Aunty said Nathan, making Bu Gea jerked. Normally, Nathan would call her mother.
"Yes yesterday during Bella's arrest...."
"Wait..Bella's arrest? what does aunt mean?"
Bu Gea was flabbergasted, so Nathan didn't know?
Nathan looked at Bu Gea intently, "Explain to me, Auntie. Whatdoes thatmean? what are you covering up?"
"That's. I think you already know everything....Bellas..."
"Bella hit Nindi."
Damn it!
As if hit by a rock, Nathan's body trembled furiously at the statement. Nathan's eyes closed... So because of Bella? he's the cause of all this.
"I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN IT WOULD BE LIKE DEALING WITH YOU!" nathan exclaimed with emotion.
"What's my fault? you ever accused me of killing Jihan, after that suddenly came to take Arsy, and now? your daughter wants to kill Nindi?"
Bu Gea started sobbing..
"Sorry.sorry Nathan. It was Jihan, now Bella's hurting you. Forgive my two daughters." said Bu Gea on the sidelines of her cries. He even knelt at Nathan's feet.
"Nathan... What's wrong?" Faizal and Lisa finally arrived.
"I should have asked you guys. Why aren't you being honest about Bella doing this hit-and-run?" Nathan looked at them fiercely.
"Sorry Nat, we just don't want to stress you out more" Lisa said
"You mean? I'd go crazy knowing who would kill my own wife. That so?"
They were all silent, no one dared to reply to Nathan's words. They feel guilty for not saying it in the first place.
"So where's Bella?"
"He was arrested, and he went to prison. His trial will be held in two days." Faizal replied.
"Explain everything."
Faizal and Lisa take turns explaining the whole case. From the start of eyewitnesses, the evidence that exists, as well as Bella's confession to Bu Gea.
Nathan felt a little guilty for yelling at Bu Gea earlier. He also walked closer to her.
"I'm sorry." That's the only word between the two of them.
🌸🌸🌸🌸
Faizal's wedding day,
Finally the day came, Lisa and Faizal wanted to cancel the marriage, because Nindi was still in a coma. However, given the invitation that has been spread, then they still carry it out.
A once-in-a-lifetime wedding, which should be full of joy, but through the cloudy faces of both brides.
Susi did not stop crying, on the one hand she was happy because the sister finally married, but on the other hand she also felt sad. Nindi was not among them at the moment.
Nathan's not coming, he's keeping Nindi in the hospital. In Nathan's mind, having bought a party dress for Faizal's wedding, Nindi became like this.
Nindi had not been conscious for a week either.
"Darling.Today Faizal married your aunt. Don't you really want to come there?" nathan said slowly. He rubbed the back of Nindi's hand which was still attached to the hose.
That pretty face was very pale.
"Today I didn't come there. Sorry.. I'm afraid my presence makes the atmosphere even sadder."
"Arsy was good at reading, his ideals changed again. He wanted to be a doctor who could cure the sick. Maybe it's because of you."
"Wake up, hug me, kiss me again, temper me. Whatever it is I'll take it well now. As long as you can heal quickly."
"Thank you for being present in my life and Arsy. Once you are aware, I will repeat these words any time you want. I love you, Anindira...."
The all-white room bears witness to Nathan's deep sorrow. He was almost desperate, waiting for a miracle for Nindi's consciousness. His soul mate is still lying calm....
