She's No Ordinary Girl

It's All Over

The clear thread from the corner of Milan's eyes continued to drip nonstop. When Edo pressed the wound so that the bleeding stopped in his stomach.

Tania, meanwhile, also took part in an ambulance on her way to the hospital. He looked stiff, his fingers clasped tightly into Milan's helpless hands.

"Milan, you must endure!" Edo continued to rub his half-brother's head nonstop, while one of his hands pressed down on Milan's abdomen.

Milan simply replied with a smile, his eyes flashing slowly motion as if as a reassuring gesture.

Yep. It is sad to see Milan dying. Tania clasped Milan's hand and placed it in front of her chest. Hope to strengthen Milan.

**

Ambulance has arrived at the hospital. The same hospital where Raffa was treated earlier. 

Doctors and nurses took immediate action. Tania and Edo waited.

Tania looks so agitated. He paced non-stop in the waiting room. Makes Edo think fast, in order to calm the woman he loves so much.

He immediately pulled out a flat object from behind his luxurious coat and contacted Burhan without Tania's knowledge.

"Tania, sit. Everything's gonna be okay." Edo stretched out his hand, and Tania immediately sat down closer. 

"Edo—" Tania's remark came to a halt due to hesitation.

"Yes, tell me," Edo replied, his voice now shriveling with fatigue while massaging his temple.

"May I borrow your shoulder for a moment? The shoulder where I used to lean on when I was injured," Tania sighed, softly. 

Without answering, Edo grabbed Tania's head, and leaned on her shoulder. 

Then, Tania closed her eyes with a hint of her tears flowing in the corner of her eyes. 

"I don't want to lose him, Edo. I know he forced me to get caught up in this marriage. The marriage that had never been my dream, even his name was never written and filled my room. But ... In fact, I can't live without him" Tania lamented unknowingly.

Edo took a long breath. "Sometimes, what happens doesn't go our way."

"Yes. You are right" replied Tania. 

Then he held his body position. For a moment Edo lowered his eyes, making the two exchange glances.

"Have you accepted this marriage?" ask Edo doubtfully.

"It probably wasn't, but it's different now. Isn't it clear enough what I'm saying?"

"Yes, I was just a little hesitant" said Edo with a wry look.

"Excuse me, Milan Mahardika's family?" the voice of a man in white clothes shocked the two.

"We Doc," agile them together. He made the doctor smile, then allowed them to come in and visit Milan.

"Wait!" call Edo, stop the step of the doctor who treated Milan, almost go away. 

"Yes?"

"Will my brother be okay?" ask Edo, make sure.

He was afraid to accept the harsh reality and his heart was not fine. He was so afraid of losing an older brother who since childhood always regarded him as a rival even a bearer of happiness.

"He's definitely improving. Come in, and make sure of yourself!"

The doctor raised his hand to the door of the room where Milan was treated. Just then, Edo replied with a slight smile and a nod of his head. 

Minutes later, his feet began to step into the room. Following Tania who had already sat next to Milan.

"Milan's not conscious yet, is he?" Tania immediately sat up in an upright position, then rubbed her tears repeatedly as Edo asked.

"There's no shame in being caught crying. Sometimes, crying is needed to calm down and heal the wound a little bit" he added.

Tania's eyes were blank, looking at Milan straight ahead. His mind drifted somewhere. Until the Milan finger book finally moved.

"Milan, you realize? I'm not leaving you, you're the best big brother I've ever dreamed of. I never hated you, I loved you, look! I even keep your love!" edo continued to whisper non-stop.

The sound of footsteps made Tania and Edo stand by. The sounding steps are getting closer. Make the two rise to fortify Milan who lay on the bed.

"It's me" said the burly middle-aged man who then stopped his steps.

Tania looked at her heart, she was no longer eager to meet Burhan. All the problems that occur because of it. Tania's life isn't even quiet about it.

"What else is it here for?" ask Tania, cynical indifferent. She turned her face away, choosing to look at her husband who was lying closed her eyes in the patient bed.

"I just wanted to apologize" Burhan said.

"I'm sorry? Sorry for being a loser?"

"Tania! edo snapped, surprised to find the girl he loved dared to oppose his own biological father. The Tania he had known had never been so.

Tania turned her head, looking intently at Edo then, her eyes shifted towards Burhan who could only reply with a sad look.

Burhan walked closer with a bitter smile. He approached Milan who turned out to be conscious and looked at him.

"Stop! Don't come near my family again!" sergeant Tania. Highlight his eyes sharpen.

Burhan quiet. He seemed to think hard, while staring at Tania who looked so overpowered by emotions.

"But, Son. I'm your family too" Burhan replied. 

His eyes began to dew, staring at the princess only wayangnya now dare to rebel. The once gentle Tania had completely changed since Reyhan's death.

Although Reyhan is Tania's real mother's killer. But the man gave her enough love. Maybe he feels guilty or even wants to atone for sins?

"If you really were a father who loved me. Not waiting for me to mature into acknowledging me as your son. You shouldn't have used Raffa as a revenge pawn either!" Tania's jaw is hardened, her cheeks are red.

"Look, you see! My husband is lying down like this right now because of you! I hate you, dad! Very! Stay away from me from now. Let's just say I died with Mama since I was a child," Tania added with her empty eyes turning mellow.

Edo approached Burhan. "Tania's willing to live her own life, after all she's used to being without Om Burhan isn't she? I promise I will always be by his side with Brother Milan if anything happens!"

Burhan raised his face. Seen from the corner of his eyes was a clear circle flowing profusely.

Tania was so disappointed. Because all this time Burhan only dared to tell his men, not introduce himself as a father directly.

That day, the rain fell so heavy, accompanied by thunderous lightning that was heard reaching the room where Milan was treated.

Although sad, heavy, disappointed, but Burhan must accept the harsh reality. In the end, he stepped closer to Tania for the last time. Of course with goodwill.

"Tania ... All assets will be in your name! May you be happy without a father! Take good care of yourself, as you wish.I will never appear before you again" Burhan said, then he hugged Tania's body tightly.

The girl was still dumbfounded, yet she did not dare to raise her hands back at her father's embrace. There was a sense of calm, warmth, radiating throughout his body. 

'I regret what I said, Dad!'

Clear thread from Tania's cheek finally dripped no less hard. At the same time, Burhan saw Milan had opened their eyes. And he looked at her triumphantly. I don't know what that means.
