Regrets After the Farewell

Chapter 40.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Salman's car arrived at his hospital, which has now changed hands with Safia.

The three of them got out of the car and went straight to the doctor Salman had contacted earlier. One team of doctors is Salman's own friend, Alex, even Safia will also take part in the big operation.

After Saka was taken to the operating room, Safia approached Salman who was preparing to donate. Safia's gaze seemed sad to see Salman who was very confident in his decision.

Salman did not even stop smiling, he was not afraid that later this operation would have a bad impact on his health, he just wanted his son to recover.

"Mas, are you sure you want to donate your spinal cord to Saka?" tanya Safia made sure. He did not want Salman to regret it.

"Hm... Of course I'm sure" Salman nodded without hesitation.

"But Mas, this-"

Salman ventured to touch Safia's hand and clasped her tightly. She carried Safia sitting on the side of the gurney and looked at her with a hard-to-understand look.

"For this time, let me do my duty as a father, I am sincere and confident in the decisions I have made. I know I don't deserve to be called Papa, but this is the only way I can make up for all the sins I've done in the past."

"But this is too risky,"

"I don't care about any risk. For the sake of my son's recovery, I'm even ready to sacrifice my life."

"Yes..."

"It's okay, Safia. Part of my life is meaningless, I just want my son to live his life normally. You don't have to think about me,"

"But, Mas-"

"Here, it's okay." Salman raised one hand and stroked Safia's cheek gently. "If anything happens to me, please tell Saka that I love her very much. I didn't mean to leave him,"

"Yes, I understand." nodded Safia with teary eyes. He doesn't know what else to say.

"Safia.." call Salman in a weakened voice.

"Yes, why?" safia asked with erratic chaotic thoughts. His feelings were suddenly upset, he was afraid that something might happen to Salman.

"If I may know, is that feeling still in your heart?" salman asked curiously, he wanted to know if there was still love in Safia's heart for him.

Hearing that, Safia suddenly fell silent without knowing what to answer. Salman who saw that could only smile and scramble Safia's hair fondly. "Here, don't think! Then I'll go first!"

Salman released his hand from Safia's grasp, as he stood up suddenly his body restrained, Safia hugged him from behind.

Salman felt like he wanted to scream in a moment, his legs suddenly shook with throbbing chest in pain, his blood flow racing with a heartbeat that was beating very fast.

It was very desirable for him to say how much he missed Safia. She also wanted to reveal that she had loved Safia for a long time, but her words only muttered in her throat without being able to voice it.

"Thank you, I-I"

"What's thanking you for? It's my duty as a father." Salman cut back and held Safia in his chest.

For a moment the atmosphere of the room became silent, both dissolved in their respective thoughts.

Suddenly Salman shed tears and raised Safia's chin, unconsciously kissing Safia's forehead for a while. "I'm sorry, Safia. I haven't been able to give the best to you two," she said, tilting her head and kissing Safia's lips gently.

Salman can no longer refrain from doing that, how hard he tried to pull him off but still he wants to do it one last time. "Sorry, I didn't mean to"

Salman then distanced himself after his consciousness returned, he was afraid Safia was angry because of his sassness just now.

He turned around quickly and stepped away leaving Safia still standing where he stood.

Suddenly Safia felt her blood heating up, her veins seemed to stop pulsing for a while.

Safia does not understand how she feels about Salman at the moment, which she knows she desperately needs Salman at times like these.

Out there, Salman immediately faced a team of doctors who will carry out the process of grafting the spinal cord.

Without waiting for a long time, he asked them all to go into the operating room and start the transplant. He entered the room first and was followed by the doctors, including Alex who was already on standby there.

...****************...

"Thank God, the operation went well." Alex heaved a sigh of relief after confirming Saka and Salman's condition was fine.

For three more hours the doctors tried hard to complete their task. Now the tense period is over even though the condition of Saka and Salman are still not aware of the influence of anesthesia injected into each body.

Safia herself was suddenly stunned to take turns between Saka and Salman. Her heart melted, she did not know whether to be happy or sad to see the two men she loved.

Safia still loves Salman. No matter how hard he tried to forget the man, but his feelings could not be lied to. He could not forget Salman let alone hate him, nor could he turn away from his love that was too great for the father of his son.

"Sus, they can already be moved to the hospital room. Let's hope they both wake up before their time" Alex tells the nurse who helped him deal with Saka and Salman.

"Well Doc," the two sisters nodded to Alex's words.

"You go accompany Saka, let me monitor Salman's situation!" alex told Safia.

"Thank you, if anything, please call me!" sahut Safia gave a small nod and followed the nurse who was pushing the gurney that Saka was sleeping in.

Safia is actually confused about which one to choose, she is also worried about the circumstances of her ex-husband.

At night, Salman was able to sit down after a few hours ago. His vision clouded dark as he found Alex sitting next to the gurney.

"How is my son?" salman asked with a trembling voice.

"The operation went well, Saka was also awake. You don't have much to think about, she's fine!" answer Alex clearly.

Salman rubbed his rough face and breathed as much air as he could. "Thank God, I'm glad to hear it."

Then Salman looked at Alex with a sad look. Suddenly he revealed all the feelings he had in his heart towards Safia, after which he asked Alex to help him.

I don't know what Salman told his best friend, who obviously looked very serious and tried to get off the gurney.
