Papa To Kirana

Chapter 72 Go

I sat far away from Brother Alan and Sister Lily in the hospital corridor. The gaze of Brother Alan whose eyes glared red never broke from me. Beside her, Lily calmed down by continuing to rub her husband's shoulders. D 

I looked down at the floor, ruffled my hair, biting my lower lip to resist the raging taste.

The IGD door opened, and the male doctor who handled Alexa came out with his eyeballs staring at the three of us in turn.

“Here is the husband of the patient?”

“I, Doc. How is my wife? All right, right?”

“Sorry, Sir. Due to the hard impact that hit the abdomen, so that the patient had a miscarriage and had to undergo curette surgery,” explained the doctor who looked inside at me.

I shook my head strongly. My lips trembled unable to speak, while my eyes began to heat up, the water pooled at the end of my eyes, and incubated a single clear grain.

“No, Doc. You must be wrong. Alexa is unlikely to miscarry. Try the doctor check once again!” I said with all emotions in mind.

“Sorry, Sir. We've confirmed that your wife has had a miscarriage. We have tried our best, but the life of the fetus in the patient's womb can not be helped. We are sorry about this.”

The doctor lowered his head and left us.

My world feels broken without a breath. A few hours ago I just found out the gender of my son, and now God asks to go back to His side.

Why is it so soon that my son is called before the Almighty?

Bugh.

One punch Brother Alan lay to my cheek, accompanied by screeches from Sister Lily. I staggered to the side.

And one more punch landed on my stomach which I did not reply to, even though I could. Alan's brother shouted thunderously to the corner of the hallway.

Meanwhile, Lily's sister is overwhelmed to hold back her husband who has been out of control.

I took a huge blow from Brother Alan. It hurts. But the pain I feel is not worth the pain experienced by Alexa.

“I told you, take care of my sister properly! But what is this? WHAT?”

Brother Alan shouted horribly right in front of my face. Once again punching my nose to drain the blood.

“Honey, enough. It's not Balin's fault,” said Sister Lily calming.

“It's not his fault Balin, you say? Obviously he as a husband can not keep Alexa,” Kak Alan glared at his wife. Then immediately throw a sharp glare at me again.

“I am indeed to blame. I deserve to be beaten,” I said sobbing.

Then, came Mirza, Alea, Rama and also Mother. They helped separate Brother Alan who wanted to beat me to death.

It took a long time for Alexa's eldest brother to be able to calm down. Until finally, Lily took him home.

At the end of the hall, a man was watching a man being hit many times. Not coming to break up, but instead she arched a triumphant smile.

He saw how the man there was resigned to the blow he had received, and then some people approached to the two to separate the man who was in a great rage.

“Taste, Balin! This is just the beginning. I will destroy your family slowly.”

The man turned around, and walked away.

We stopped for a moment right in front of the operating room door.

I stroked my wife's curls which were immediately greeted by a forced smile. Tears kept dripping from her eyes, and then my fingers wiped Alexa's wet cheeks.

“What's with your face, Balin?” ask Alexa who is looking at me. “You were hit by Alan?”

I smile, “It's okay.”

“This is all my fault,” Alexa whispers that are almost inaudible.

I shake and smile at once.

“This is not your fault. This is the disaster that befell our household.”

“But I can't take care of our baby,” isak Alexa with increasingly heavy tear patters.

“My fault also let you down to the kitchen.”

I kissed Alexa's forehead, closed my teary eyes so that one tear fell on Alexa's cheek, fused with her tear and then flowed into her chin.

If only I had come out of the room, and I had fallen. Then nothing will happen to the baby conceived by Alexa.

If I had fallen, it might have been just a bruise I got. It is not a sore wound that scratches this heart.

I let go of the kiss, opened my eyes and let out a long breath.

“Sorry, Sir. We have to do the operation now,” said the nurse interrupted.

“Wait!” alexa commands in a slow voice.

Once again Alexa's eyes looked at me, I brought the ear closer to Alexa's lips that wanted to convey something.

“Jaga Kirana at home and check CCTV!”

I was astonished by Alexa's words, but I had not had time to ask, the nurse had pushed the gurney into the double-leaved door.

My gut tells me I have to do what Alexa says. Although a part of me wants to keep company until the operation process is complete.

I'm a little quiet leaving Alexa in the operating room because there's still Rama and Mom. Brother Alea and Mirza have returned to their homes.

I accelerated the speed of the vehicle as it crossed the streets, while in the mind wondering.

What did Alexa mean to tell me to check the CCTV and look after Kirana? Kirana will always be taken care of.

Was this any interference from Harsa?
