Pride of Love

Accident

"It was almost midnight, and Amel had not yet returned. Where's the girl? Her phone's off, I'm calling Mayra, she's not with him either."

Andra paced back and forth in the living room, feeling intense anger and anxiety because it was almost 12 pm Amel had not yet returned. I don't know how many messages he sent to Amel's number but there was no answer.

"Did Amel go home to papa?.. ehmm.... it seems impossible, if it is certain that papa has informed".

Andra's mind became increasingly unsettled. He doesn't usually feel so nervous. It's not the first time Amel has come home in the middle of the night, but this time his feelings are very different, there was a very uncomfortable premonition raining down on his mind as hard as the rain that did come down that night accompanied by lightning and a strong wind.

Several times Andra looked out through the window behind a flash of lightning but not yet seen Amel's car entering the yard.

Dretttt...drettt.the phone vibrates, the voice calls from an unknown number. The feeling of was was getting stronger shook him.

"The accident.....???"

Andra dropped her phone onto the sofa she was sitting on.

A voice from across the street gave word that Amel had an accident.

His hunch is right, something has happened. Instantly his anger dissipated, his gaze was pushy, his hands trembling incoherently between confused, anxious, sad mixed.

Andra rushed out and started her car regardless of the rain drenching her body.

The car was speeding between the rain. On the main road not far from the housing complex, Andra stopped his car. It appears that some people are still clustered to see a car that was crashing into the road barrier and has now been given a police line.

Yes.that's Amel's car.

Andra burst out among the crowd and saw the condition of the car that was badly damaged, there were drops of blood there but it had faded and mixed with rain water. Andra's breath seemed to stop, his mind as if crushed as a car, imagining Amel's condition due to the accident.

"The victim was taken to a nearby hospital, it looks like he was driving drunk" a person next to Andra was heard talking to his partner.

Andra passed quickly to the hospital and went straight to the ICU room.

"Your wife is quite serious, her left leg bone is broken and there is a hard impact on the head. But we'll still do a further check on whether there are any other internal injuries. While we were still waiting for Miss Amelia to realize we were going to do a CT scan" a man in a white suit explained Amel's condition to Andra.

"Can I see him Doc?" Andra was no longer able to hide her anxiety.

"Please Mr. Andra". The doctor opens the door to the ICU room and follows Andra to meet Amel.

Instantly Andra's heart was so confused to see Amel lying there, blood was still on his forehead that had been wrapped in white gauze. His feet were covered in spalk and bandages.

"Miss Amelia was driving under the influence of alcohol, which made her unconscious. After realizing later we will do the next action." The doctor then left Andra with Amel who was still unconscious from his stupor.

Andra sat down next to Amel and held Amel's hand.

"Mel.... Why is it like this?, how many times have I reminded you?" A glass frame flashed across his eyeball.

"I don't want to happen what is the same Mel.... I've lost everyone I love,.... lest you....?! ahhhh...no Mel...don't!!" Andra tried to expel all the feelings of worry that were on her mind.

"Andra's...." Amel's voice was soft, his finger was moving slowly, his closed eyes were starting to open slightly.

"Mel... Have you realized?" A smile was seen on Andra's lips.

"I where?"

"You're at Mel's hospital, you've been in an accident" Andra held Amel's hand even tighter.

"My head hurts so much....!" Amel groaned and felt a great pain in his head.

"Wait for me to call the doctor"

"Please wait outside Mr. Andra, we will handle it" the doctor entered the ICU room with several other paramedics.

"Andra's... How's Amel?!" The heavy voice full of worry shocked him. Word stood behind him with a face that was no less anxious with him.

Andra sat on the waiting room chair while rubbing her own head.

"It's my fault that I agreed to Amel's request to give him a car" Firman patted Andra on the back and sat down next to him. He had made the wrong decision, it was too late for a regret.

"Sir Andra please sign this affidavit, we must immediately operate Miss Amelia's leg." A nurse approached and handed me a piece of paper. Andra did not think long and immediately signed it.

"Good night Mr. Andra, Mr. Firman, we're from the police".

Andra and Firman turned their heads at the same time as two men dressed in police clothes approached him.

"We want to hand over Miss Amelia's belongings that we found in the car at the time of the accident. Handbags, cell phones and some other personal items are all complete. Please check first...!"

"Thank you sir" Andra grabbed all the goods and signed the checklist that the police were offering.

"Miss Amelia was driving under the influence of alcohol, and from her urine test positive there was an addictive substance. We ask for the cooperation of Mr. Andra and Mr. Firman as the responsibility of victims can fulfill our call to come to the office to testify".

Bak was struck by lightning in the rain that night, Andra widened his eyes to hear the police explanation.

"Addictive zat? Prohibited drugs.... Amel was consuming the illicit goods??" A sense of shock and disbelief grabbed his heart.

"My daughter is having surgery right now sir, tomorrow morning we will definitely report. Trust me we won't be out of responsibility." The Word responded more calmly.

The police also left.

"And anyway we have to close this case."

"Amel's treatment and recovery is more important than anything, if it is proven that Amel took the drug he will definitely be put into rehabilitation centers. Under these circumstances, it is not possible, besides that we must prevent the media from making this public consumption will affect the company's reputation...!"

Andra just nodded and he could understand the meaning of the Word.

"I'm not a good husband to Amel pa, I can't take care of him, it's out of my control, and I don't deserve to be forgiven." Andra bowed lethargic as if she did not dare to look at the face of the Word because of her guilt.

"Don't blame yourself, Ndra, papa knows Amel's nature, he's stubborn and very emotional. His habitual promiscuity as when he was in Australia there, probably made him choose the wrong friend so that it plunged him into the wrong path"

"Papa deserves the blame for overindulging him from childhood....! Make all of this a lesson, the most important thing now is that we should equally fix it."

Word's thoughtful attitude made Andra feel shady and for a moment she could forget her guilt.

Word then looks to call someone.

"Papa's done all the Ndra, tomorrow come to the police station with papa's lawyer."

"Alhamdulillah.the operation went well, we have also done a CT scan no more serious internal injuries other than a broken leg bone, do not worry too much Miss Amelia must soon be awake" The doctor smiled and gave a little relief in Andra's heart and Word.

"We're going to make preparations to move Miss Amelia to the treatment room." The doctor went back into the operating room.

After being in the treatment room, Amel cried so much that it happened in the arms of the Word. His pain from the accident was nothing compared to his guilt, he also condemned the condition of his legs. Amel was very worried that he would not be able to walk again.

"Darling calm down. You don't have to worry, your dad and your husband are here!" Firman wiped Amel's hair and wiped away the tears on Amel's cheeks.

"I'm sorry Amel Pa.... Amel always troubles papa..."

"You're patient Mel, the doctor says you'll get well soon and be able to walk normally again after a few months' recovery". Andra who felt sorry to hear Amel's regret then approached him and stood next to his bed.

Amel grabbed Andra's hand and looked at her with her eyes still wet.

"Andra I'm sorry. Now I....me....!?"

"Sstttt.......!" Don't say anything else, the important thing is now that you have to get well, OK!" Andra placed her index finger on Amel's lips while holding Amel's still shaking shoulder to hold her sobs.
