Daniel did not think that the man told by Emma was very different from the man in front of her now. The man looked weak, pale and did not look ferocious at all.
Clear threads began to wet the man's cheeks as Daniel said his goal was coming. He did not expect that the man who would marry his daughter would come for his blessing, he said.
"My daughter is a good woman and loves her family. You won't regret marrying her."
It's not like Daniel imagined, what's going on. Daniel felt that there was a tangled thread between them. Or maybe the man in front of him was pretending to get his sympathy.
"Sorry in advance, I didn't mean to interfere in your family affairs. But why are you different from what Mia told you. Or are you pretending? if so, you just mention the number, whatever I will give as a form of my determination to marry your daughter."
Daniel did not make any more pleasantries, he would not waste time just to serve the man's charade. Sorry not to be prejudiced, but to see how mamah Emma wept when telling her husband's crimes. Then Mia who hates her papa. It was impossible that the man was so good now. Or maybe he repented and went back on the right path.
"Bring the money home to Mia son, I don't need it. I bless your marriage, may you be a good husband to my daughter and make her happy." Willy smiled wryly, his inner being sliced every time he remembered his family. If time could be repeated, he was eager to replace the time that once was only sorrow for his wife and child, he wanted to fix everything.
"Sorry sir, I don't mean to be rude to you. It's just that you're so different from what Emma's mom told you." Daniel immediately apologized, he had already charged and thought recklessly.
"It's okay, son, what he said is true. I am a man who cannot make my family happy. Think of it that way and forever it is." Willy confirmed the scarf that had slipped off his neck, he wrapped it again to cover the cold.
"Sir, don't you want to meet them?"
Daniel tried to offer the possible.
"An impossible desire, son, let them be happy with their lives now. There's no need to remember me anymore who only brought wounds for them." Willy grimaced as he tried to get up from his seat. It became increasingly clear that the man was in pain.
"Sir..you..."
"Son, is there anything else you want to say. If there isn't, can you leave now. I want to rest" Willy said after he woke up.
"Sir, can I help you. Are you in pain? Your face is so pale, how about we go to the hospital." Daniel could not let the man. As a doctor, of course, he knew that a man named Willy was not well.
"No need son, I'm fine. Just need to rest for a while, later also heal by yourself."
Daniel went from there with a heavy heart because he felt something was up.
"What exactly is he covering up, it feels like I can't just leave him. Did I just go back and ask? Maybe if I insist, he'll tell you what really happened."
Daniel who opened the car broke his intention, then turned his body back. He walked back into the house. The door was slammed again before entering, but there was no answer from within. Maybe the man had fallen asleep that fast. Daniel was still trying to knock on the door, this time he knocked on it a little hard but there was no answer either.
Daniel's mind started to get anxious when he didn't get an answer. He also decided to break down the door whose wood had begun to decay. With just a little energy, the door opened. Daniel immediately sought the whereabouts of the father of his future wife.
Daniel searched every corner, until he stopped in a closed room. He guessed the guy was in there.
"Sir Willy are you inside??" There is no answer like that. Daniel did not waste any more time, he immediately forced open the door of the room.
Brakk!!
"Sir...!!"
The man's body was already lying on the floor of his room. Soon Daniel sought help from neighbors to help raise his future father-in-law.
Daniel decides to take Mr. Willy to a nearby hospital. It would take a long time to get her to the hospital in the city.
Doctors said the man had a serious illness and needed further tests to confirm it. Daniel expected that. Soon he agreed to the examination.
A few moments later, the results of the examination came out. There's a lump on the back. Daniel saw it, maybe it was a tumor or it could be something else. It needs blood tests and others to find out if it is dangerous or not.
After Willy's body stabilizes, Daniel decides to take him to a larger hospital.
"No need son, I don't need to be taken anywhere. My disease can no longer be cured. It's okay, just let me stay home until the time comes."
That request was what Daniel heard on the way to Star Medical Center hospital. Before the man finally returned unconscious.
As soon as Daniel goes straight to check on Mr. Willy. Until he finally detected cancer cells in his body. Precisely on the back, and from the results of the examination also detect that the cancer has begun to spread to other organs, so it may be difficult to cure. Surgery may be risky, but chemotherapy may slow the spread of cancer cells.
Daniel gives the best care and tries his best. Until the man realized.
Mr. Willy said that no one should know about his illness. What does it mean he's known, and been hiding it all this time. He also insisted on going home and refused to chemo. Daniel could not force and finally let the man go home but he still gave supervision.
Until finally Daniel decided to tell the story to Emma and also suggested that Mia and Felice to meet their papah. Mamah Emma agreed, she even wanted to come along but Daniel forbade her. The condition of Emma's mother's body is not possible to leave, she is also worried that her meeting with her ex-husband could cause shocks in her brain that could endanger her life.
to be continue...
