Second Time

WIRA

I looked out my window and saw a car slowing down and stopping in front of Grace, who was waiting in front of the office. I saw Dafa get out of the car and open the door for Grace, her face did not stop smiling, nor did she face Grace. These past few years I've never seen Grace smile that bright on a man.

They left the office, I just stared at their departure in silence. Grace very rarely went out with a man except with Daniel whom she already considered a brother, which is why I was worried about her. I took my phone and called someone.

"Luke, watch them, let nothing happen to Grace."

I hung up the phone after Luke confirmed what I told him. I know Grace loved Dafa once so much. Grace had even fought for her feelings very long for the man. But I'm really worried because that guy hurt Grace.

Grace is my sweet little girl, her feelings are very tender and sincere to anyone. Since childhood she was very obedient to our parents, she grew up to be a beautiful girl with a strong personality. He is not weak and does not cry easily, the child is always strong in any situation.

He became a very independent child, not dependent on parents and could adapt quickly in new environments, therefore many good people stood by him. Grace always wants to achieve what she dreams of with her own hands, even she doesn't want me to get involved in achieving her goals, sometimes the kid is silly.

Sure enough, he grabbed what he wanted to achieve without my intervention. I'm so proud of him, he always convinced us to believe in what he did. So far I believe in him so much. He is truly my great son, Rose and I have always hoped that he would always be surrounded by happiness.

Today I saw Dafa return after a few years, the man looks more and more mature now. Dafa is seen chasing after Grace who no longer remembers her. I liked that guy a lot before he hurt Grace.

I took a deep breath considering the events of that time. I did not know what kind of trouble was really going on between them, which I knew Dafa ignored Grace back then. Grace never told me anything about it. He was trying to solve his own problems, I was worried about Grace when he told Luke to watch over her. Luke told me that Grace visited Dafa every day, but Dafa never met her.

I always wanted to ask Grace what really happened back then, but I said it because Grace didn't bring up the matter in front of me at all. At that time I thought that Grace could solve her own problems. Every day I look at Grace, her face sometimes looks moody but turns cheerful when with me. I'm sure he's trying to hide his sadness in front of me.

I saw Grace getting more and more lost in her cheer, sometimes at night as I passed through her room I heard a small sound of bated crying. Until the happy day, the day of his graduation. Rose and I went home first because Grace was going to celebrate her graduation with her friends.

By late afternoon, it was raining heavily outside. The sound of a motorbike was heard entering the grounds, Rose and I immediately came out to greet the boy. Grace is really weird, the kid loves riding motorcycles which sometimes worries his mother. Rose panicked to see the drenched Grace, but the boy smiled and slightly ran towards us in wet clothes and all over.

Brugg.

Rose and I immediately panicked and grabbed Grace's collapsed body on the floor, she didn't move at all. I immediately carried Grace into her room, Rose immediately changed out of Grace's wet clothes. Grace has a very high fever, I immediately called Nathanael. Doctor Nat is my family's doctor, he's been dealing with Grace's disease all along. I'm so worried about my daughter's condition, I'm afraid the disease is spreading again.

Grace had a tumor on her head, she had had two surgeries, doctors said she could not remove the entire tumor on her head at once with one operation because it could endanger her life. Therefore, the operation is carried out in a different period of time. During the time lag of his operation he had to take drugs to prevent the spread of his disease. Nat, who was checking on Grace, turned to me.

"It looks like Grace forgot to take her medicine."

"How come, he never forgot it."

"It looks like he's having anxiety symptoms, is he having problems?" Nat looked at.

"Yes, I've seen him moody lately.

"Hey what makes this kind of child sad?, is it a matter of romance, he is getting older now." Nat chuckles.

"That's the possibility, how is it now?."

"Let him rest first, I've injected a sedative. He'll sleep peacefully at least until tomorrow morning."

"Tomorrow to take him to the hospital, I'll do further tests."

I nodded and the next day Rose and I took Grace to the hospital. The examination was over and Nat took me to his room. I followed her and left Rose guarding Grace with a worried look on her face.

"She had to have surgery ahead of schedule."

"really?"

"Yes, this is his last operation, do you agree?"

"Well Nat, do your best for Grace."

"We're going to do the surgery at my hospital in Singapore."

"Yes." Yeah."

"Are you ready next week, girl? You should also tell Grace and your wife."

"All right, I'll tell them."

...----------------...

Rose and I took Grace to Singapore, we were very worried about her situation. Rose and I have always prayed that Grace's operation would go smoothly. Grace is a strong child, she has a high spirit, I'm sure she can get through it all. The boy endured his illness for years without ever complaining in the slightest, he always assured us that he would be cured soon after his last surgery.

Operation Grace was successful, her condition was stable but she was in a coma. Nat can't be sure when he'll wake up, because the spirit of someone's life depends on himself, that's what Nat said to me.

Rose continued to shed tears seeing the state of Grace who was still lying motionless, for many months. His life support tools stuck all over his body. Rose and I are trying to strengthen each other, we really can't afford to lose it.

Rose shouted for the doctor as she looked at the movement of Grace's fingers. Rose and I are so grateful that Grace is beginning to show signs of her consciousness. A few days later Grace opened her eyes, Rose and I could not help but hold back tears, how happy we were to see our daughter awake from her long slumber.

Rose hugged and kissed Grace's head, she looked really happy. But Grace did not recognize us, she lost her memory and even had trouble speaking. The words he spoke were incomplete and vague and almost stuttered.

Rose was crying again, unable to bear to see Grace. Nat makes sure that Grace will be able to return to normal speech in some time because it is one of the postoperative effects that is on her way, but Nat can't be sure Grace's memory will return again. According to Nat it depends on the strength of Grace's memory and depends on the things or events that will be captured the memory is back.

Rose and I decided to settle down in Singapore, leaving behind all the sad memories that had happened. Let Grace live again with her new self, let her not remember anything that has passed. Now he is healed of his pain. I didn't tell her any hurtful things, not about the illness she had and not about the man.

Grace continued her studies, passing her days well. After graduation, he managed to enter my company with his own business. His performance was really good until he managed to achieve what he wanted. This girl really makes me very proud.

Every day I see him growing up, but he's really not as happy as he used to be. He's been through the day well but unlike before, I see him differently. I don't know if I'm really thinking about it and worrying. I'm finally planning on seeing Nat to tell you about Grace's condition.
