Old Love Rival Remains

Waiting and Hope

Unmindful of his wife's expression that was so piqued by his shock, Papa Ardan half ran out of his room, down the hospital hallway with a feeling of extreme dismay.

The arrival of Papa Ardan coincides with the medical petigas that are lowering Ardan's body.

Papa Ardan was really shaken. The only son he had, was very badly injured. His coat, shirt and trousers were littered with his fresh blood.

Papa Ardan's legs feel weak. Papa Ardan started staggering and almost fell. Fortunately there was an Endi supporting him.

"Thank you" said Papa Ardan with trembling lips and body without seeing who was helping him.

"I'm here" said Papa Endi. He was also shocked to see Ardan's condition.

"Endi," he called slowly with a very tangled face. He was grateful that his close friend had come with him.

"Ardan and Vienna need our do'a" said father Endi trying to strengthen his friend's heart.

Everyone who saw Ardan's state must have given up. His face was very pale and his body began to cool when Papa Endi touched his hand. They are in dire need of a miracle from the Almighty through the hands of the trusted medical personnel.

Papa Ardan shed tears. He cursed anyone who had dared to harm his only son to this extent.

Papa Ardan closed his powerful eyes. The pain in his chest felt doubled. He was afraid that this was his wife's doing. He was afraid of the karma his wife received through Ardan.

Who is the executor? papa Ardan's inner being is so hurt.

Papa Ardan took a slow breath to relieve his extremely tight chest cavity. He also loosened his tie to make it easy to breathe.

Dina who was waiting, became gasp at the blood-soaked Ardan before her eyes.

"Ardan," he screamed while holding Ardan's gurney.

"You familiar?" ask one of her doctor friends while holding Dina's body that almost fell.

Dina did not reply, tears kept flowing as she looked at that handsome face that looked extremely pale.

Dina was just about to check on her inpatient patient, feeling strange seeing the crowd of doctors and nurses in front of the entrance.

Rare occurrence. The doctor who is there is a senior doctor who usually waits for special patient patients. Very thick pockets of course.

Then what they are waiting for is an important person and very rich.

Out of curiosity, Dina waited and ignored her duty.

Just for a moment, his mind defended his wrong actions.

Both with their same female colleagues only a few months received, they waited.

Not long after the ambulance that brought Vienna came.

Mama and Papa Viennese who had come directly to the medics who were moving the body of their beloved daughter to the hospital gurney.

Mama Vienna held back her tears in the arms of her husband who tried to stand firm. Tears also dripped on his old face that looked.shaken violently.

Gaga called herself when she was about to leave the house with her wife. The two of them were already in the car, preparing to go teach.

In a slow and nervous voice, the always calm Gaga told Vienna she was being taken to the hospital.

Papa drove off the car with a raging feeling. The fear of losing her only daughter made her even tighter with the car, crucifying one by one the car in front of her. Because they passed the underpass which thankfully didn't get stuck.

Mama Vienna just kept quiet, letting her husband drive his car like he was being chased by a demon. His heart felt empty and his bad thoughts flew over his brain.

Just this morning Ardan promised he would really take care of Vienna. But now the two lay helplessly and drenched in blood.

Now faced with the fact that their only daughter was very severe in her condition, she felt weak and helpless. But papa Vienna tried to survive, there was his wife who was just as shaken with him. Perhaps more, because he had conceived and brought Vienna into the world.

In the minds of papa and mama Vienna was busy thinking about what had happened. Why they both could be so badly injured.

Ardan and Vienna were immediately taken to the operating room. Followed by those closest to them.

They all waited in silence feeling tense, and continued to offer thousands of do'a.

Even Eri's doctor went inside, because he's a heart specialist.

"Tante," called the Goddess half-run when she saw Mama Vienna. Sita also followed from behind. Both of them looked messy with clothes that still had blood stains.So they had washed their hands and faces in the sink.

"Goddess" said Mama Ardan who recognized one of Vienna's close friends. But she was still sitting and in the arms of her husband. His body is so limp. Fortunately, he did not faint.

"Tante," isak Dewi started again. He immediately sat down on the bench next to his empty aunt. Sita followed next to the Goddess while cupping both her hands to her face. The water also dripped.

"Ap... What happened?" ask mama Vienna brick.

Several times the nurse went back and forth from the operating room. They carry many blood bags. Fortunately the blood supply for both blood types is available in very sufficient stock. So no need to look for it to PMI or need a donor.

"Vienna... Ardan. Dewi also ... do not see the incident. Just hearing,. Very loud," said Dewi in his speech.

"They fell in cuddles, Auntie. Ardan seemed to be protecting Vienna by letting his body touch the asphalt first."

Mama returned to tears. Papa Vienna tightened his wife's arms.

If they both survive, papa Vienna will facilitate the blessing of mama Ardan. Papa Vienna himself will ask for it.

Papa Ardan who was standing not far from where the Goddess was, heard very clearly.

He closed his eyes with a grievous heart. Said his best friend Endi right, the truck braked because it saw Ardan.

Perhaps Ardan initially watched over Vienna crossing alone, but when he saw Vienna almost run over, Ardan ran to protect Vienna. The driver who was ready to crash into Vienna's body was shocked to see Ardan and braked.

That's papa Ardan's assumption. Perhaps also people who know a piece of the incident that his only son experienced with his lover must think so too.

How his wife did that. If his suspicions are correct, he does not know if he can still forgive his wife's grave sins.

It was just that, disturbing his thoughts, why would Ardan let Vienna cross alone. Why not get to the door where Vienna works? Did Vienna ban it?

Papa Ardan shook his head trying to expel the heavy burden of his mind. He must be strong. He cannot be weak. The operation has been running for two hours. But the lights are still on. No doctor has come out to tell me.

"Om, Pa, have a drink first" said Gaga, giving papa Ardan and his papa two glasses of warm coffee.

"Om not thirsty" he refused.

"Don't do it, Om. The operation has not yet been marked when it is completed. Make more energy, Om," persuaded Gaga.

"Sum a little, let it go" said Papa Gaga persuaded while taking a cup of coffee offered by Gaga, her son.

Gaga then approached the Viennese parents with coffee and tea. Adhi gives warm tea to Dewi and Sita.

"Drink first, Om, Auntie," said Gaga.

"Thank you" said the father, receiving a glass extended by Gaga. He gave his wife a glass of tea that shook her head.

"We have to fill the energy, baby. We have to be strong. Vienna needs us," persuaded his father to force his wife to drink. His wife already looked pale from continuing to cry without a sound.
