The Bond of Our Love

CHAPTER 115 - Wife Or Child??!!

He hopes his words can make his son feel better. Because that was all Lesti could do.

"I told you, I even begged you all. If I'm gonna explain everything later. Notnot now. You want to know, what really happened? That night I was so desperate. Because Zahra just kept rejecting me. She continued to refer to Fajar as her husband.

Just as you know, that's what he knows. After he lost his memory, after the tragedy. And that has exhausted my patience. I was jealous of my wife constantly mentioning another man's name as her husband. But I can't be mad at him. Because he's clearly innocent.

So that without being prevented, I kissed and touched her. It was my way of making him remember again, in the times we used to go through together. And I'm so happy because he didn't resist my touch. Because his heart could still feel that I was the husband he loved. Until we were both unaware, if at that time we were outside. Diarea crowd.

But you can't be patient waiting for my explanation. Because you are ashamed. So you're busy with your own assumptions. Busy with your tarnished reputation because of us. Am I not your real child? You should know that I love my wife very much.

I would never do such a lowly deed, with a woman who wasn't mine. I must have my own reasons why I can do all that. Again you prove, if reputation and good name are much more important than me. And this time, it felt much more painful than it used to be. Because the lives of my wife and daughter could be at stake"

With a reddened face and tears still lingering on his handsome face, Rahul told me and took out his uneg-uneg at length. And he kissed Zahra again.

The words he said sounded soft and smooth, but it felt very piercing for Lesti and Helmi who were in the front. It felt like they were slapped hearing Rahul blame him.

They never expected, if the situation would be as severe and fatal as this! Rahul's right! This is all their fault. Again they have become bad and selfish parents. Again, they disappointed their youngest child!

*******

Zahra was taken to Dirgantara hospital and immediately put in the IGD room. Rahul seemed impatient waiting for his wife who was being examined inside. His mind was so stifled and agitated, that he kept pacing around unsettled in the waiting room.

Helmi, Lesti and Gala could only sit quietly and watch Rahul with feelings of sadness and sympathy. But they could do nothing but pray and hope that Zahra and her baby would be fine, and her condition was not too serious.

Likewise with Dawn who stood with a face that looks so worried and anxious. Another case with Amora and Naomi who seemed to sit quietly, and did not see the slightest look of worry on the face of the mother and child. Because they expect otherwise.

A few minutes later, the door opened and the doctor came out. Rahul approached the woman's doctor quickly.

"How's Doc, my wife is fine right?!!" Rahul asked impatiently.

"Continence broke. Mrs Zahra should have a C-section right now" the doctor replied anxiously.

"Yes Mom I understand. But we have no other choice. Her fertility has broken, so her pregnancy can not be continued until the age of nine months. So inevitably, the baby has to be born right now. Otherwise, the consequences could be fatal...."

"Do whatever it takes as long as my wife and child can survive" Tukas Rahul quickly and decisively. All he had in mind right now was the safety of Zahra and her son! And he doesn't care how. They both need to be safe and well!

"Sorry sir, the bleeding is pretty heavy. It was triggered by the severe stress and pressure experienced by Ms. Zahra, which makes her currently in a critical phase. So then.... We can only save one of them" the doctor said hesitantly and fearfully. The doctor's words made Rahul so shocked and angry.

"What?! Can you save only one of them?! Then what can you do?! Aren't you all paid to save all your patients without exception?! Then how could you kill one of your patients?!

I don't want to know, save my wife and son!! Save them both!! Not just one of them!! If one of them does anything, I'll make sure you'll all be sorry!!"

Rahul roars. Even the threatening words came out of his mouth in frustration. Rahul's attitude made the doctor's guts shrink even more, until his body seemed to tremble.

In any case, he could not underestimate the anger or threat from the man. Because what he was facing right now was a family member of the main owner of that large hospital. Wrong, it can affect their lives and work, if not careful in taking action.

"Rahul, calm yourself. I'm sure they had no intention of killing either Zahra or the baby. They are just trying to do what they can do. Maybe the condition is currently an emergency, and not as easy as we imagine"

Gala approached Rahul and tried to calm his emotional and uncontrolled sister.

"How can I calm down?! While the lives of my wife and children are on the edge?! Maybe for you it's easy to talk like that! Because Big Brother never felt in my position!! How could I be required to kill one of the two people I love?! You guys satisfied now?! Your reputation and good name may be saved!!

But instead, the lives of my wife and child will be lost!! You think my heart doesn't hurt, accepting the fact that my own wife thinks of another man as her husband?! You think I'm not ruined?! But I tried hard to hold it!! Because I would be much more ruined if I lost them forever!!"

Rahul roared incoherently. He expresses his emotions to everyone who is there. Making them all speechless with deepening feelings of sadness and guilt. Helmi approaches Rahul.

"Papa understands your feelings very well. Papa and we are all really sorry, if we were the cause of what happened to your wife. But we really don't know the truth. You should have told us in the first place, so that this misunderstanding would not happen. We are family. You shouldn't have to cover anything up, so we can support each other"

Helmi spoke slowly and pressed down a bit. Trying to give understanding to the youngest child who is crazy. Rahul remained silent for a few seconds. Then he tried to catch his breath. It seemed that Helmi's words could calm him down a bit.
