Frans who while still living in the office dimess has not found a suitable rental or boarding house for him, he said, as for choosing to rent a boarding room or farmhouse in the area near his office is not thought of anymore because it includes flood-prone areas. Frans did not want to be difficult if later his residence was exposed to flooding although not all areas were affected by flooding but still made it difficult to move later.
Frans, who was busy in front of his desk computer, received an incoming call from his half-sister, Frances, the third daughter of his father Ridwan, with Yenni, Ridwan's first wife. Fransiska reported that Ridwan was rushed to the hospital for bleeding in his brain due to his high blood pressure.
Frans who received this news was a little surprised even though he was not close to his father but still Ridwan was his biological father. Frans asked Fransiska to continue preaching, and only be able to go to the hospital later in the afternoon. Because the work in his office at this time can not be left alone.
In the afternoon after finishing his work, Frans asked his superiors and personnel to return home early because his father was currently being treated at ER Hospital Indah, Indonesia, the distance from the office to the hospital takes only 20 minutes. Frans decided to bring a change of clothes because if Ridwan had to be hospitalized he planned to take care of him tonight.
Arriving at the hospital Frans directly to the Emergency Unit of RS Indah, it appears that Maria and Fransiska were present along with her husband Fransiska there, Frans who saw the three immediately greeted them. Ridwan who is being treated intensively in the UGD can only be moved to the ICU room tonight because it is currently full of patients.
Frans learns from Fransiska that Ridwan, according to the confession of Lela, Ridwan's third wife, has complained of a tremendous headache since nightfall, but in the afternoon he was told to his children, especially Fransiska, when his father was unconscious. According to the doctor's examination and the results of the CT Scan of the brain, Ridwan had bleeding in his brain because there were several broken blood vessels. So that it is currently in a state of coma, and needs hospitalization.
Frans, whose current condition could not help his father's medical expenses at all, volunteered to take care of Ridwan during his hospital stay. However, Ridwan's other children no one can wait for him at night because Princess and Nico are still young Maria and Frances have a family so it is impossible to take care of him during the hospital. While Lia's first child Ridwan and Yenni are currently abroad following her husband who is a WNA and Anes Yenni's youngest child is finishing her college which has entered the final semester.
A week Ridwan had to be treated in the ICU room despite being aware and able to communicate with the family who visited him, but his condition was again unconscious. Due to the bleeding that experienced half of Ridwan's limbs can not function properly, Frans who this week took care of his father at night alternating with Yenni and Lela in the morning until the afternoon, starting to feel tired so great because he could not sleep well in the hospital, Frans could only steal time to sleep during the day when his work at the office was not too much.
The cost of care that is growing to almost exceed 120 million makes Lia and Fransiska who indeed bear the cost of hospital care, which is, deciding to take their father home for outpatient treatment while seeking alternative treatment after consulting with Ridwan's other children including Yenni.
During Ridwan's stay at home and undergoing nerve therapy, Frans chose to stay in his father's restaurant just to help run his father's business after work, because Lela's third wife Ridwan must take care of her husband who is now paralyzed helpless in bed. Moreover, both children are still in elementary school until they still need more attention.
2 weeks at home Ridwan's condition worsened so that it had to be rushed to the hospital again, lucky to learn from previous experience Ridwan has been registered into a free health program provided by the government, which is, so this time the family does not mess around the cost of care during the hospital because all has been borne entirely by the government even though it must be messed around by a complicated process of requirements and bureaucracy.
Frans had to keep his father in the hospital every night, while after returning home from work he had to help keep the restaurant owned by Ridwan who remained operational considering there is his wife's child who still needs daily expenses, for example, although there was help from relatives and relatives, it still did not cover the cost of living for the third as long as Ridwan was paralyzed due to the pain he suffered.
He who was from childhood did not know his biological father did not feel too lost, if not because of coercion by his aunt Nita. Frans actually had no intention to find where Ridwan was. But no matter how Ridwan's blood flowed in him, Frans, who spent a month looking after Ridwan during his father's hospitalization, felt a little relieved to have been devoted to caring for Ridwan for the rest of his life.
There was a minor disagreement between Ridwan's children from Yenni with Lela and her family about Ridwan's funeral whether to follow Ridwan's previous beliefs or follow the beliefs of his wife Lela while Ridwan during his marriage to his third wife only believing limited to the KTP column only. Feeling that Lela and her family would not be able to care for their father's grave, Lia as the eldest son decided that their father was buried according to their beliefs and Ridwan's previous beliefs, moreover, Ridwan's funeral costs will be fully borne by Lia who immediately returned from abroad after receiving news of his father's death.
Frans, as the oldest Ridwan boy, had to follow the funeral procession of indigenous people and also religiously adhered. Directly apply for leave of absence to the company where he worked until his father was finished, through the help of his friend Kevin. The procession until Ridwan's funeral takes three days, in addition to waiting for several family members and relatives who live outside the city including Lia Frans' older half-brother who just arrived on the second day of Ridwan's death.
During the night of the process of the casket lid on the second day of his father's death considering that all the children of Ridwan had gathered including his grandchildren. Frans is surprised by the arrival of his ex-wife Rissa accompanied by Rudy Tan and wife Joice who represent the wie family to convey sympathy and expressions of sorrow. The presence of Rissa at night to make her feel sad because her ex-wife is like someone else in her eyes, Rissa seemed to come as just an ordinary guest as if nothing had ever happened between the two of them.
During the funeral home, Rissa did not talk much only Rudy and Joice who often spoke at length with her, and she did not talk much, When the three say goodbye, Rissa just mince words to mourn without daring to look into the eyes of her ex-husband.
After the departure of Rissa Frans just took a deep breath and exhaled loudly, it seems like Rissa did not consider it anything else just an ordinary friend, just waiting for the time until Rissa completely forgot about it. Not wanting to be too late in disappointment even deeper, Frans immediately flocked to the guest table who came to just thank them and invite them to chat.
For him at this time his relationship with Rissa is like a sweet as banished, bitter taste indeed but that is the destiny he lived.
