The Bond of Our Love

CHAPTER 37 - The Rescue of Zahra

"Yes Brother was right, my mother-in-law should be buried immediately. I have a responsibility to bury him properly and honorably. I have to pay my last respects to him" Rahul's tone has begun to soften.

"I've spoken to Papa. He said Mrs Sakinah will be buried in a special cemetery area of the Dirgantara family. After all, he is part of our family"

"Yes Brother, thank you" Rahul nodded and tried to smile even though it felt heavy.

"Come on" Take Gala.

"Hey! Quickly bring the stretcher here! There are more victims here!"

"It seems that there are more victims found" Rahul observed the activities of two SAR team members who were trying to rescue victims who were still buried between the rubble and mud. The location of those people was not far from their standing position.

"Leave it. There is still a SAR team taking care of it. Come on, let's take care of your mother-in-law" Gala brought Rahul back and pulled his arm. Rahul just obeyed his brother's invitation.

After the death of the two brothers, the activities of SAR team members are still continuing. Two men were seen running with stretchers. They immediately placed the victim of the woman with a slightly protruding stomach on the stretcher they were carrying.

The condition of the young woman's victim looked very sad. His body was dirty full of sand and mud. His body was full of wounds and blood.

"Sa..ty.a" The woman was delirious in a very small voice, unable to pierce the ears of the four men in orange uniforms who were saving her.

They continued walking on a stretcher with the poor woman lying weak.

Amora and Naomi seem to be eating their food in a luxurious and elegant restaurant in Jakarta..

"What's? So your husband and in-laws have made it, found Rahul?" Naomi asked curiously.

"Yes that. I was surprised when I first heard that. Mama know? the entire house immediately became excited when they managed to find out the location point of the sibuta"

Amora answered with ogah-ogahan while eating her food.

"So right if Rahul is still alive? So, where did he live all this time? Same who?" Naomi gets more involved with her son's story.

"Geez Mama, how do I know. Mama thinks I'm paranormal? Besides, what do you care about me all this time where he lived and with whom? I'm even confused, how can he still be alive? I thought he was dead in the plane crash" Amora said arrogantly.

"It's good that he's alive. That means, we still have a chance to make him our gold mine"

"I mean Mama?" Amora scrunched her forehead.

"You know? apparently all this time, Gala was not Helmi's biological child"

"Well! How can?! If Gala wasn't Papa Helmi's real son, then who was she? And, do you know where you're from?" Amora was surprised not to play hear her mother's statement. He never knew about this.

As far as she knew, Helmi had two sons. Gala and Rahul are the same. Both heirs of Dirgantara Group. Even Gala was much more powerful because she was the first child. That's why he obeyed his mother's words to marry the man.

Though in fact he admits that Rahul is much more everything than Gala. His only flaw was one, he was blind whereas Gala was not.

"Mama knew from a friend of Mama who he said also knew well with Lesti. She said Gala was the daughter of Lesti's marriage to her first husband who had died"

"So, the Gala is just a child continued Papa Helmi? What does that mean?"

"Yes, as a stepson, there's no way he could freely rule over his step-parent's wealth? It's definitely his biological son who's gonna be the heir"

"I mean Mama.... Rahul?"

"Who else, baby? Who will all the wealth bequeathed for, if not for his biological children? Moreover, if he could give a descendant. His position will be stronger. Not like you and Gala, who have been married for five months, but you're still not pregnant"

"What does Mama mean talk like that? Mama's gonna tell me I'm mand*l?!" Amora felt offended and ignited emotions with her mother's words.

"It's not like that either, dear, I mean. Yep.... Oh, never mind, forget about that. Now the most important thing is, after this Rahul will definitely return home right? You should be able to take his heart. If necessary, make her fall back in love with you, until she wants to marry you"

"Mama seriously talking like this? Mama forgot I've been Gala's wife? Mama too, right, who used to tell me to approach and marry her?"

"That's first baby. Before Mama knew that Gala was nobody. Let's just say we already know, so why do you still want to keep a stepson while you can still get a biological child? Like, why do you still maintain fake items while you can still get the original item?"

"You don't have to worry too much about that, baby. If you manage to make Rahul fall back in love with you, everything will be easy. Because love can defeat hate of any size. After all, he used to be crazy about you. So I guess, now is not a difficult thing for you to get his heart back"

"Step him blind Ma. What do you want, Mama's only child to be the wife of a blind man? Where do we put our faces, Ma?"

"Dear baby, you don't need drama. Nowadays, physical is a number. The most important thing is money. It's good dong, if Rahul is blind. Later, everything he has you will manage it. Yes, your job is to act as a good wife. That's it, easy?"

Amora was silent at the idea of her mother. Is he still able to conquer Rahul's heart, and make the man go crazy again after what he did first?

An ambulance stopped right in front of the hospital yard in Magelang. From inside the ambulance came four men in white uniforms.

They pulled out a gurney containing a woman lying unconscious, with wounds all over her body wrapped in bandages.

Oxygen mask and infusion as a health support device installed in his body. That woman is none other than Zahra.

The four nurses immediately pushed the gurney into the hospital. A handsome, tall and burly-looking young doctor accidentally runs into them while being corridor.

"This why?" The handsome doctor pointed at Zahra who was lying unconscious on top of the gurney.

"This is Doctor Dawn, one of the victims of flash floods in the xxxx region. The situation was quite severe, so we brought her here to get intensive care" one of the nurses explained.

"Alright, prepare the operating room. But first, check the condition"

"Okay Doc" The four nurses resumed their activities at the behest of the handsome doctor.

Amora and Naomi, who had just arrived at the luxurious house of the Dirgantara family, were immediately stunned to see all the servants of men and women, were busy tidying up and decorating the luxury house with bouquets of white flowers.

"Ra, what's going on? Why is the house decorated and decorated like this? What kind of event is there, why don't you know?" Naomi asked confusedly.

"I don't know Ma either. Bi" replied Amora just as confused. Not wanting to assume too long, he finally reprimanded the butler who was working not far from them.

"Yes Madam"

"What's up? Why is the house suddenly decorated like this? Full of flowers like this?"

"I don't know the lady either. I just got an order from Mr. Gala on a cell phone, he said this house must be cleaned up, because the body will be brought home soon"

"Bi Susan, where are you going to put this?" A young maid admonished the butler named Susan.

"Oh, just put it there. Let me help you" Bi Susan pointed to a place to put a bouquet of flowers in the young maid's hand. Then he led the woman to follow him.

After the two different generations of servants were again busy with their work, the mother and son resumed their conversation.

"Ma, how did Susan mention the body? Whose body? Is it not.... Rahul's body?"

"What a peck, honey? Is it possible that your husband and in-laws actually found Rahul's body? Ouch. If Rahul dies, our plan fails"

Naomi answered in panic. It is not imagined if Rahul really died. Even though only that child can make him master the Dirgantara Group.

"Ma, it looks like they're home. Come on" Invite Amora when you hear the sound of a car outside the house. They went straight to the front door.

In the front yard of the Dirgantara family luxury house, they saw Gala's gray Lexus car followed by an ambulance behind him.

"Ma, how come there's an ambulance? Let's not be right again, it's an ambulance carrying Rahul's body. Ma, is it true that Rahul is dead?" Amora pointed to the ambulance that had just stopped in front of the terrace of the house.

"Yes, where did Mama know. Let's see it first"

"That's Mama, Papa and Gala" Amora pointed to her husband and a pair of in-laws who had just gotten out of the car.
