The Angel of Wounds

Chapter 140

Rama and Ivan were about to return to Hasna's room in the lotus pavilion. They abandoned their intention to see the psychiatrist who accompanied Marissa during the investigation. Description from the Doctor, Rama thought it was representative for him to take a big decision.

"Ivan, we're going to Marissa's treatment room." Rama said in front of the elevator.

"Good, Sir. Then, we go straight to the third floor." Ivan. The assistant immediately pressed the elevator button that read the number three.

Shortly, the elevator doors opened.

Ivan watched the rooms with rows of numbers beside the door. Until the second step stops right in front of the room with the number 175.

"Tulip 175." Ogre Ivan.

"This is his room, sir. Tulips 175." Ivan. The man turned to Rama.

Rama also drew closer to Ivan with the room door partially open. There was a woman sitting on the patient's bed, and put her blanket to her chest. His face looks agitated.

"Mrs Marissa, now Miss Marissa rest first, yes." Saying a girl in front of Marissa.

"Please don't leave me, Doc. I'm scared." Marissa said in a nervous tone.

"Mrs Marissa, there's no need to be afraid. There's me, sister, also Mr. Tomi who will accompany mom." Speak to the doctor in a soft tone.

"But, Doc, that cop will definitely come back here." Marissa said with eyes that began to look glassy.

"I don't want to be in jail, I don't want to, Doc." Marissa seemed to shake her head.

"Help me, Doc. Please tell the police I'm innocent." The usual face looks haughty, now looks clear. Even his cheeks looked wet.

Rama and Ivan still listened well to the chatter of the people who were in the room. Until a voice shocked both.

"Sorry, what interests you two, huh?" Rama and Ivan turned their heads, and found a nurse standing right behind them, with a probing look.

"ee... Sus, sorry before. We were visiting our relatives. The address we obtained corresponds to this room, tulip 175. But apparently there are no relatives we are referring to. Has it been moved to another room, huh?" Rama asked, trying to distract the nurse.

"In this room there was only one patient. No other patients." Nurse.

The two men looked at each other. They had to quickly rack their brains to get information from the nurse.

"Oh, so yes, Sus. What pain does it hurt, just alone in this room? There are not three beds, right?" Ask Ivan.

"It just so happens that the patient is in special care."

"special handling? Seriously sick?" Ask Ivan again.

"No, the patient is a little depressed. Too bad, especially when you're pregnant." Rama and Ivan just nodded at the nurse.

"Then, you_"

"Ivan, I just got a message if our relatives are in the pavilion." Sahut Rama before the nurse asked what made them suspect. Even Rama is seen opening the chat application and showing a glimpse at Ivan in front of the nurse. It was as if he had just gotten a chat from someone.

"Oh, okay." Ivan understood the code that Rama gave him.

It had been more than thirty minutes that Ivan and his boss were sitting opposite each other in the cafe opposite the hospital, with no one to open their voices. Even the drink that Ivan ordered was almost toilet, while Rama's drink was completely cold.

"We're both father-to-be. We are also husband. It's just the conditions that make us different."

"If we change positions, I won't be able to see my wife die. Experiencing uncertain conditions between life and death, like your wife."

"Sir Rama too, I am sure will not be able to if I am in my position. Losing a child who will soon be born into the world."

Rama looks to massage his temple which feels pulsating. Tomi's words a few hours ago again ringed in his ear. Even Rama can still clearly remember how the look on the face of the man who became Marissa's husband.

Ivan faithfully noticed the change in the look on Rama's face. His boss was seen breathing deeply several times. Even his eyes seemed to be closed for a moment, like he was thinking about something so heavy.

"Ivan, what do you think? Should I suspend Marissa's detention? But I'm worried if he's reckless and goes back to harming my wife." Rama said without looking at Ivan. His sight looked far away.

"I'm sorry, sir, if my advice will not be pleasing to you. But, after listening to the explanation of Doctor Andrean, also saw firsthand, even if only at a glance, how Marissa's condition. I think you should postpone Marissa's legal proceedings." Rama listened and focused on his personal assistant.

"It's not just Marissa going to do it anyway. The child in the womb will also feel. I am very worried if if the psychic condition of Marissa will affect the baby in the womb. Maybe I am the cloud of that problem. But from Dr. Andrean's explanation, I can conclude that it's not very good for the development of the baby." Rama breathed slowly.

"I will not ask you to imagine changing positions like Marissa's husband told you. I'm sure you're very wise to address this matter."

Ivan's words were right. However, if Marissa is behind bars, the baby in the womb will also feel the cold of the prison floor. The guilty mother, not the child in her womb. Because of his mother's selfishness, his son suffered the consequences. That's not fair. The guilty Marissa, it should be only the woman who served her sentence. Baby no.

Drrrtt, drrrtt, drrr

Rama's phone lying on the table shook. A call came in from Mr. Darmawan, his personal lawyer.

"Yes, Mr. Darma."

"Good night, Mr. Rama. Sorry if I interrupted your time. But I must immediately convey this to Mr. Rama, as a matter of consideration." Said Mr. Darmawan from across there.

"Say, Mr. Darma."

"The police have conducted an investigation according to procedure. But, there's a pretty serious obstacle, sir. The suspect was depressed and under psychiatric observation. If this case continues, it is not only the suspect's psychiatric concern. But also the safety of the baby in the womb. Moreover, the suspect had bleeding again."

Rama breathed heavily upon hearing his lawyer's words.

"Now, the police can not carry out detention, citing the health of the suspect. Because the hospital also expressed objection if their patients leave the hospital in such a condition." Continue Mr. Darmawan.

"But again, the decision is in the hands of Mr. Rama, as the complainant."

Rama looked straight at Ivan who was in front of him. His personal assistant was still listening to what Rama said.

"We're suspending the case temporarily, until Marissa gives birth. At least his psychic is also better prepared when the punishment has been set later." Rama said without turning his eyes to the assistant.

"Good, Sir. I'll take care of everything soon." Said Mr. Darmawan.
