NO DIGAS ADIOS (Don't Say Goodbye)

NDA - 100-S

Mr. Anton walked down the hallway to the ICU room in a hurry. Instantly his mind became chaotic because tomorrow is an important meeting to discuss a new project that will work with clients from Australia. He paused for a moment, and called Irham, but was not picked up. To be clear, it's almost midnight. It's time for people to sleep. Also when contacting Renata.

Not wanting the project to be canceled, he sent a message to Irham and Renata each so they could handle Adam's duties.

On arrival in front of the ICU, a nurse was seen just coming out of there. The atmosphere was quiet and very quiet. Mr. Anton slowly stepped to the door and his face stiffened when he saw Adam lying helplessly inside. Some medical devices are connected to the body of his favorite staff. They range from oxygen hoses, infusion hoses, blood transfusions and bedside monitors next to Adam's nursery bed.

Adam stabbed? Mr. Anton is not out of thought. Who did it?

"Good night sir" a male nurse tapped Mr. Anton as he watched Adam from behind the ICU window.

"Oh yes, good night" Anton turned his head. The nurse smiled at him. His face looks soft because it holds back sleepiness. Maybe because tonight is his schedule, he's here.

"ee... Mas, I want to ask, the patient who was in there, who was brought here?" ask Mr. Anton. Because all he knew was that Adam's parents were in New York.

"His family, sir," the nurse replied. "Is my brother a patient?"

The family? Mr. Anton's forehead shriveled, then he hurriedly nodded to answer the nurse's question. "Yes, I... distant brother... If you may know, which family drove him here? Why...not here?" Mr. Anton dyed.

"His wife brought him here sir. And now his wife is in the treatment room because she had passed out."

Wife? Mr. Anton is getting confused. Adam is single.

"Wife? Wait..." Mr. Anton turned to the ICU room and looked back at the nurse. "The patient inside is called Adam, right? Adam Lucas Prawira?"

The nurse nodded. "Yes right."

"Mas, it means wrong people, because as far as I know, Adam is still single. She's not married."

"If I do not know about it, sir. But the fact that brought him here was his wife."

Mr. Anton fell silent. Not yet divided from his thoughts about the calamity that befell Adam-why he could get stabbed-now he had to think again about the status of his favorite staff who turned out to be married. How could he not have known Adam was married? Why did Adam hide his status?

"Oh, yes if so, thanks for the information."

The nurse nodded slowly. He said brother, I didn't know his brother was married. His mind before it passed.

...🌺🌺🌺...

Mr. Anton: [Ren, please meet today you handle with Irham. Don't get cancelled. Because Adam couldn't have come. He is getting a disaster. Tonight he was stabbed by someone, and is now in the ICU.]

Renata was shocked when he received a message from Mr. Anton that morning. He's smothering his own mouth. Adam was stabbed by someone? Didn't she and Selenia celebrate their 31st birthday last night? Oh my God, what is this?

Even when he met Irham at the office, the boy was just as shocked as he got the same message from Mr. Anton. Renata's feelings were not out of order during today's business hours. It was not only Adam who was on his mind, but also Selenia. Especially their happy day. Renata still remembers how excited Adam was yesterday when he told him that his wife had prepared a special surprise at Carlos cafe for his birthday.

That was why, the afternoon after returning from the office, Renata immediately rushed to the hospital. He goes straight to the ICU room and finds Selenia and Cia there. The two ABGs were sitting next to each other in one of the seats outside the ICU.

Upon seeing Renata's arrival, Cia only took a quick glance and then shifted her sitting position, intending to make room for Renata.

"Selenia.." up there, Renata's eyes were already glazed over. It was unbearable to see Selenia who looked so devastated. Plus looking at the clothes Selenia was wearing, surely she had not returned home from last night. How could she go to the hospital wearing a dress like this?

This morning, feeling a little stronger, Selenia did not want to continue to be in the treatment room. She wanted to always be near her husband, even though she could only wait outside the room. It hurt his heart when he saw Adam lying weakly in the ICU room.

Selenia looked at the weak Renata. As Renata approached and hugged her body, she could no longer hold back her tears.

"You are strong, Cell...." Renata was crying. "Who would do this to Adam?"

Selenia shook her head slowly. "I also do not know...why is he so evil with my husband...what is wrong...?"

Renata took off her embrace, cupped Selenia's face and wiped her tears. She already considered Selenia like her own sister.

"Hopefully the culprit will be found soon. The important thing is that you should always pray. Mr. Adam is a strong man, he can definitely go through all of this" Renata gave support to Selenia.

...🌺🌺🌺...

Renata arrives home after maghrib. He was shocked when he saw Devan's car parked in his yard. Why is he here? Why not send a message or phone first if he wants to come? With a quick half-run, he entered the house and was flabbergasted when he found Nola laughing cheerfully playing with Devan in the living room.

"Mamaaaa...!" pekik Nola saw Renata's presence in the doorway.

With a quick movement, Renata greeted Nola with a hug and carried her. Thank God Nola is fine. His inner.

Devan stood up and smiled. "Hey Ren" he said.

"You... Why come here?" Renata feels quite strange with the arrival of Devan this time. Because since Nola's birthday, she never showed up again.

"Lhuh..." Devan chuckled for a moment. "It's wrong that I want to see my son?"

"That's not what I mean. Only.. You can if you want to come here send a message or phone first to me."

There is such a deal. But somehow, it feels heavy for Renata if Devan comes to see Nola when he is not home. Especially if looking back, when Devan was willing to leave him and Nola for other women. And it was from then on that Devan never showed up again - just once on Nola's first birthday. After that, he disappeared like he was swallowed by the earth. Then he came again with a lawsuit so that Nola's custody was given to him. Which after being traced, it turns out he did that because his second wife could not give offspring. Devan's shadow carrying Nola's run always haunts Renata's mind. Devan is a famous person.

"Sir Ami....!" Renata calls Nola's nanny. She didn't want her son to hear her debate with Devan.

Ma'am Ami emerged from the back room and Renata immediately gave Nola to him. Looking at Renata's attitude, Devan's previously mediocre face turned slightly stiffened.

"It's not complicated, Van," Renata replied after Mbak Ami and Nola moved away. "I just don't like it when you come here without asking permission. I'm sorry Van, but this is my house, I have rules in it."

"I just want to meet Nola, play with her, that's Ren. Wrong?"

"Who is it that you don't see Nola? I don't deny you, I'm just asking you to tell me first. That's it."

"I'm her dad Ren!"

"Why are you carrying that word now, Van? Back when you left me with Nola, you didn't want to have a child?!"

"Kok you're going to reveal Ren's past? It's over, right? You've won the trial, you've got custody, and we've agreed that I can look at Nola whenever I want. Why are you so confused now? You want to keep me away from Nola on purpose?"

Renata closed his eyes for a while and sighed. "Nothing at all I have such a rich mind. I just want, if you want to meet Nola, you should talk to me first, that's it."

Devan looked at Renata straight. He saw a lot of differences in Renata. When he was his wife, he wasn't this stubborn. But soon he realized that the position of Renata then and now is much different. It is only natural that his attitude has changed. It's only natural that he's being overprotective of Nola.

"Yes is ok." said Devan later. "OK I'm sorry if my attitude makes you uncomfortable. Next time I want to see Nola, I'll talk to you."

Renata nodded. "Thank you for understanding," he then threw his body on the sofa, and again called Mbak Ami so that Nola was invited to the living room.

"This is the same dear Papa," Devan took Nola from Mbak Ami's sling. The little boy greeted cheerfully and anxiously. "Mama's tired.." she sat Nola in her lap.

Renata smiled forcefully. His lips were smiling but not with his eyes.

"Indeed, every day you come home at this hour, Ren?" ask Devan.

Renata shakes. "So I stopped by the hospital first, so I came home late."

Devan's forehead shriveled. "Who is sick?"

Renata's body stiffened. "Adam. My GM, Semalem said he stabbed people."

Mission completed! Devan's main goal here was actually to figure out how the man is doing now. He's the same office guy Adam, his secretary, too, so he must know what happened to him. Oh, it turns out he's still safe and in the hospital?

"What?!" devan's face pretended to be shocked. "Continue, what's the situation now, Ren? In which hospital?"

"He's still in a coma in the ICU. At the International hospital."

Goody! Hopefully you will not survive.

"Van.." said Renata then with a full tone of inquiry accompanied by a look of intimidation at Devan. Suddenly, a strange thought occurred in his brain.

"You... Why do you worry about me being so rich?"

Renata thought, as long as he knew Adam, Adam never got into serious trouble let alone fuss with people. But ever since he and Devan had hit that time in front of this house, trouble after trouble approached him in a row. Starting from the terror, to the accident experienced by Selenia, which turned out to be Devan's actions because he still holds a grudge. Then, does what happened to Adam this time also have something to do with Devan?

"You... sure you don't know anything about Adam's calamity?"

Devan's forehead shriveled. "meaning? You're accusing me of doing that?"

Renata fell silent. Hopefully it's not Devan. But who else? Adam never had problems with people.

"I feel really bad Ren in your eyes" said Devan dramatically.

"Eee.. sorry.. sorry Van," Renata said. He was confused by his own thoughts. Why should I think that far.

"It's not pa-pa" replied Devan ketus.

Renata standing. "Well, if so, I'll take a shower first. Nola, Mama took a shower first yes dear," he said as he mentowel her puffed cheeks Nola.

As soon as Renata passed, Devan breathed a sigh of relief but was also irritated.

Shit, you're still alive? It seems I have to finish you off with my own hands.
