"How are the passengers doing? Is it on its way to the hospital?" ask Aril.
"..."
"What..!!!" Aril shouted.
Heard a shocking news to him. Aril is very sorry to comply with his request.
"Sorry Den, I shouldn't have wanted you. At least I have to get out of that car first. Not just leave you alone." regretted Aril.
It turns out that what he got was bad news. Deni and Alea's car exploded and caught fire just as police arrived at the scene. With Deni still in it.
That was obvious because there was a charred body of a man in the car. His body will soon be taken to the hospital.
"How am I going to explain to Alea about lo.." Aril frustrated.
Why did the calamity not stop coming to Alea's life. Always endanger his life.
"Al, I'm sorry. Cannot hide Deni. You have to fight in there, with your son. You have to live."
The entire Deni and Alea family had already arrived at the hospital. They're heading to the operating room. They saw Aril sitting on the floor.
"Aril, how are Alea and Deni?" ask Mr. Malik.
"Alea's still in Mr.'s operating room. But Deni, sorry Mr." Aril looked down not strong to give the bad news.
"What's going on?" now it was Mr. Malik's wife who asked.
"Sorry Mr. Madam, I did not manage to save Deni. His body caught fire in the car that exploded shortly before rescuers arrived for evacuation. As for me, I should immediately bring Alea because of her extremely severe condition. I'm sorry I couldn't think clearly. I obeyed Deni's request to leave him and immediately bring Alea to the hospital." explained Aril with a little stammering, along with feeling sad over Deni's death.
"Pa, Deni couldn't have died, right, pa? There's no way Deni's gone any more than us." Deni's mother is hysterical, hearing Aril's explanation. It was shock that knocked him unconscious.
Mr. Malik immediately took his wife to get a doctor's treatment.
"Ril, I'm asking you to take care of everything. Let us wait for Alea here." said Mr. Aran.
"Okay sir, I'm sorry."
Aril went to see Mr. Malik. About Deni's funeral. Will it continue that night or wait for tomorrow.
Mr. Malik asked Aril to take care of whatever was needed, he decided to do the funeral tomorrow only. His wife's condition is also better.
Aril then left. Take care of everything. Even when the hearse carrying Deni's body, Aril was unable to see it.
Aril went to see Mr. Aran.
"Sorry sir, I'm interrupting. I can't see Deni's body. Police asked to provide information about Deni who was last seen. To tell if it's Deni's body." said Aril.
"All right, I'll be there. Please accompany my wife here first."
"Good sir."
Aril looked at mama Alea who was sitting pensively in the waiting chair in front of the operating room. Occasionally rubbing her melted tears onto her cheeks. Mama Alea cried without a sound.
Mama Alea was again overshadowed by past events. Which always puts Alea in danger.
Aril and mama Alea were aghast when they heard the sound of baby crying. They were grateful that the baby could be born alive. Shortly after, one of the nurses came out with a baby covered in her cradle.
"Mr Madam, the baby was born safe and sound. Female gender. But because of his weight is still lacking so must be done intensive care" said the nurse.
"Yes, how is my son?" ask mama Alea.
"Still handled by the doctor, ma'am. Please be patient."
The nurse then took the baby to the nursery. Simultaneously, came a middle-aged man approaching Aril.
"Excuse me, Aril?" ask the man.
"I am the lawyer of Mr. Malik's family, I was asked to help Mr. Aril take care of the necessary things. And I also need to talk to you alone."
"Oh, wait a minute, sir. Wait for Mr. Aran to come back here. There's no way I'm leaving the Madam alone here."
"All right, I'll wait here."
Not long after, Mr. Aran has returned.
"How's Mister?" Aryls.
"Police can confirm it was Deni's body because the little clothes left were exactly the clothes Deni last wore out of the house this afternoon. And also the wedding ring shows that it's Deni." explained Mr. Aran.
"All right, excuse me sir. I have to go." said Aril.
"Mr Aran, I'm sorry for this" the lawyer said.
"Thank you Mr. Doni." replied Mr. Aran who was already familiar with the family lawyer made because several times had met.
"I'm sorry. There are still many things I have to take care of." said the lawyer then went after Aril.
Aril and Mr. Doni sat together in the hospital lobby.
"What do you want to say, sir?" ask Aril to the point.
"I just want to hand over the relic from Deni mas. Please read it."
"For me? Is it not wrong sir?"
"No, actually the whole family does not know the real situation mas Deni. Before this accident, Deni was very ill but hid his condition because he did not want to make the family sad. Moreover, according to the doctor there is no medicine that can cure the pain." explained Mr. Doni.
Aril immediately opened a letter from Deni.
*Aril, maybe when you read this letter, I'll be gone. Because I entrusted this letter to my lawyer to give this to you after my death.
I want you to be the father of my son. Please replace me who can't take care of Alea anymore. Only you can trust me to take care of Alea. Love her. And make her fall in love with you again. Make her your wife.
Thank you
Deni*
That's the letter of Deni. Aril feels this is a heavy poignancy. His heart has not healed yet of Keyla's wounds. And now, Deni had instead asked her to love Alea again.
"I just want to deliver the letter, but later when things have improved a little bit. I will ask the whole family to come together to hear me deliver the last message from Deni mas. And at that time, you must come too." said Mr. Doni.
"Okay sir, thank you. Call me later." replied Aril.
"Well, Aril, excuse me. I want to see Mr. Malik too."
"Yes sir, please."
Mr. Doni headed to the room used to care for Mr. Malik's wife. Arriving in front of the nursery, Mr. Doni knocked on his door and went straight in.
"Good night sir." said Mr. Doni when he came in.
