Eldric continued to rub the back of Karina's hand that was not stuck with the infusion needle. Raga and her heart were also so tired, but El did not want to leave Karina alone.
"I'm sorry" he muttered many times. Guilt still haunts him.
Karina did not blame him for what happened. His little wife was more legowo accepting of everything.
This is the destiny that God has laid out for us, even though our mother did not come to hurt me today. There will be other events that will keep this happening. Lie if I'm not scared and sad, but I have you.
Karina said the words after she finished surgery. Funny indeed, it should be El who has to strengthen his wife. However, Karina so maturely the little woman said things to calm her husband.
"I'll keep returning it."
"Dear, don't follow your anger."
"No, Honey, I'm gonna keep giving that woman a lesson!"
"If you insist on what I can do, but promise me. Don't kill him."
"All right," El broke up resignedly.
"I love you, love you so much. I'm sorry if I can't keep my word, Hon." Eldric kissed Karina Karina's back.
Eldric turned his head when he heard the door of the room open. A middle-aged woman ran towards Karina, her tears splashing down her cheeks. Two men walked behind him.
"Dear my son, I'm sorry Mama can't accompany you" Siska said sobbing. The woman tightly hugged her daughter's weakly lying body.
"Ma, Karina just went to bed," said Eldric. Actually he did not forbid his in-laws to embrace the wife, but El also did not have the heart if karina woke up.
"really?"
Eldric only answered her with a small nod. Siska let go of her embrace, she gently rubbed Karina's cheek and then kissed her.
Tama just stood behind the wife with her fixed eyes staring at Karina's pale face.
"We sit down first, dear" asked Tama to the wife.
Siska shook her head. "I want Karina Mas."
"All right" answered Tama.
Tama stared intently at the man before her. He gestured for El to follow him, El understood and nodded.
"I'll talk to El for a second" said Tama.
"Yes Mas" replied Siska with a gaze that could not be separated from karina.
Tama moved from Siska's side, and sat herself on the sofa there. El followed what his in-laws did.
Eldric sighed.
"Sorry Pa, I was wrong. I should have been able to take good care of Karina, sorry," Eldric said regretfully.
Joe just stood next to the door, he noticed how the face of the downcast master was full of disappointment to himself.
"Do you think your apologies are enough to fix everything" Tama said in a slightly raised voice.
The middle-aged man felt angry, he so entrusted the princess's safety and happiness to Eldric, but he instead got news like this.
Eldric just looked down, he knew he was wrong no matter how wrong he was. As a husband, you should be able to take better care of karina.
"How's my grandson doing?" ask Tama by not turning her gaze away from the gurney.
"Zoe's in the NICU, I haven't seen him yet. I don't want to leave Karina alone" replied El honestly to the in-laws.
Tama could only sigh at the answer of her mature daughter-in-law. Alone with no family at all, Tama could understand how the man felt confusion with everything that happened. Even though he had a lot of men and deployed them in time together, it would not be able to overcome today's problems. Zoe, Zack and Karina are Eldric's full responsibility.
"What about her twin sister?"
Eldric shook his head, his son was still in a room in the hospital. The place where the body is kept.
"Go, finish it all. I know you haven't taken care of it either. Me and your Mama will be accompanying Karina in the meantime, Naoki will also be coming home today" Tama said.
"Well, Pa," answered El listlessly.
His heart was so fragile, he still vividly remembered when the doctor showed how Zack was doing. El's heart was broken, like a glass glass that was slammed hard.
Eldric rose from his seat, he stepped lethargic out of the room where karina was being cared for. Joe opened the door for the master. Eldric stopped his steps taking a deep breath.
"Joe, how?"
"He's already in the mansion, sir" Joe replied quickly.
Eldric's once sad eyes now turned full of trust, flashes of hatred emanating from the look in his eyes. The angry Bison was ready to finish off his enemy.
"Then how's Zack's resting place? have you finished it?"
"Already sir, everything has been prepared."
"Thank you Joe" said Eldric sincerely.
Joe was shocked by what he had just heard.
"It's my job." Joe looked down, he was moved by the thanks he had just received.
