The In-Law Choices

Chapter 15

Zack POV

Sanusin, the bodyguard who was driving the car, took us to the hospital, driving very fast. Skillful car-mobik in front, he was indeed assigned to escort and become a racer in a crucial time like this.

"Faster, bring the car!". Mami asked with a face that looked very anxious. He continued to roar, crying lamenting the condition of the dummy drooping on his lap.

I looked back to calm my mother. "Mommy calm down! Daddy's gonna be okay". My persuasion.

Mami looked at me sharply, her gaze implying that all this was due to my fault. I looked forward again avoiding the sharp gaze of my mother, I know now her feelings were so hard hit that her ever-shady gaze turned sharp like that.

Sampi in the hospital, daddy was immediately rushed in the ICU room to do an examination and given treatment.

Mami kept pacing back and forth waiting for the doctor to come out carrying news, her face looked very anxious and sad. Occasionally wiping away the tears flowing down her cheeks. His eyes had been puffy from crying since then without stopping, without getting tired of worrying about the condition of daddy inside.

Seeing her like that, I decided to call Aunt Shela to come calm my mother. I took a cell phone and looked for Aunt Shela's name contact. I had to suppress the shame in this heart before actually contacting him.

Hufh

I take a rough breath mentally strengthening, this is for the sake of mommy, her mental health must also be maintained before the disease relapses again like it used to be.

"Hello aunt". Sapaku after the call is connected.

"Hello". Aunty sounded sniffled answering my greeting. But I must still convey my wishes, I hope Aunt Shela will come here.

"I want to ask aunty for help". Overshipped.

"When I ask for help my voice sounds soft like this, what do I need to help". Sindir aunty Shela but still asked my wishes even though it still sounded sniffy.

"Daddy is now again in hospital, please come accompany mommy here yes, auntie! I beg!". Obviously I pleaded with aunt Shela to come calm mami.

"You wait for your location, aunty try to come visit if there is time". The call was turned off unilaterally by Aunt Shela.

I bowed lethargic because Aunt Shela sounded not too concerned anymore with mommy. Previously they were very familiar because they were friends from High School, but now I'm sure it must have been caused by this incident. Not long after I refused to marry Cleo at dinner with our parents, there was a fight that caused daddy to have a heart attack after being content to beat me to release his emotions.

Now that I am not ashamed to ask them for help to come here, they will definitely refuse to be spread heartache for my own actions. I have broken a close friendship between these two families, I feel guilty for my presumption to speak for a moment without thinking.

I looked up to see the mother who had been sitting limp in the chair, I wanted to approach her, but my guts whistled when I remembered the sharp look of my mother while in the car. But seeing the situation as it is now, I as a child could not bear to embrace her to share the sadness.

I throw away my ego for the sake of feeling comfortable, I will not be able to calm down if I only pay attention to such a sad mother without someone accompanying her beside her.

I stood up to the mami, but when I was near and wanted to hug the mami from behind, I arrived. . .

"Aante! How's it going on aunt?". Call Cleo while running anxiously closer. His eyes glanced at me at a glance then turned back towards mami.

Mami who heard him turned her head slowly with weakness, her lips slightly smiled when she saw Cleo running towards him.

"I'm definitely coming auntie! I know aunty must be sad and need someone to accompany aunty at times like this". Reply Cleo gently. He rubbed my back gently.

She leads mommy to sit back in the chair before her.

"Tante is afraid of you per. . .". Mami hangs up and cries in Cleo's arms.

"Usstt, don't say so auntie! Om will definitely survive, We are equally praying Om Panji yes, Auntie!". Persuade Cleo still calm mami.

I was relieved to see that my mother was already a little calmer in Cleo's arms, I was grateful that Cleo still wanted to come to accompany Mami in a moment like this, even though I had let her heart down repeatedly.

Cleo was actually very kind and reliable, but my heart could never accept her to be my life companion, I had already placed one woman who would be immortal in this heart. His name will never be replaced by anyone and I hope his name remains etched beautifully there to Jannah.

"Have I been able to come in to see my husband, doc?". Lirih Mami's. He never sleeps last night waiting for the condition of the daddy stable and can be visited.

"Can! But only one person at a time, so if you want to visit it you have to take turns". Advice from Dr. Sara. The doctor who monitored Daddy's health.

"Okay, doctor!". Mami went straight in with a face that still looked very anxious.

Imaged by his gestures, my mother was angry with me, maybe it was true my guess, she blamed this incident entirely on me. I couldn't do anything about it because I knew it was all my own thing.

Mom came in for Cleo, Cleo smiled warmly and rubbed her shoulders. "Auntie must be strong! Distribute the power to om inside!". Soft Cleo's sahut.

After my mom entered the daddy room in the care, I approached Cleo. "Thank you for coming with my mom".

Hufh

Cleo let out a rough breath. "Overnight's events were not their fault, why am I vengeful for them! They've been considered my own family". He said without looking at me for a second.

" so you don't worry, our problems will still only be our problems without involving our parents. But if they hate you, you take it! Because I don't want it all, they hate you purely for your own mistakes". Reciprocity.

I died a death, his words are true, I can not blame this situation to others including himself and his family, he said, he simply interrupted her wishes and both of our parents happened to strongly agree with his request.

"You eat first! That's already the lips of cooking and then brought here to eat together". I diverted the conversation. I don't want to continue discussing your conflict right now as my feelings get more and more confused and dilemma.

Cleo's gaze shaded forward facing which was a plain white wall with no decoration or writing. As if the burden of his mind was also severely tormenting his inner being. I was sad to see her like that, but my heart refused to approach her.

"No need, I don't taste to eat, you eat alone!". Reject Cleo and walk away from me.

My phone vibrated indicating there was a notification of incoming Wa messages. I reached into the phone in my pocket and read the contents of the message Asyah sent.

"I think I saw you in the hospital, huh? I involved you in front of the ICU room with a couple of bodyguards and two sobbing women near you".
