Chapter 66

"Father." said Rania.

"Bec... Ni... A. "said the middle-aged man stammered in surprise.

Rania approached to hug her father, she cried sobbing sobbing sobbing while hugging the body of her father who felt thin and also weak. The father can only embrace Rania also crying, because one hand on the key on the edge of the bed with a handcuff. They also cry together.

"How did you find me here, Rania?" ask her dad confused.

"I accidentally saw my father when I visited this hospital and I happened to know Mr. Figo, the son of my father's business partner" Rania explained.

"You know Figo?" asked her father in surprise and only in reply to a nod of the head by Rania. "Son Figo has helped my father a lot during this time, even when his father has nothing he still helps father" said his father while bowed.

"Why haven't you been trying to find me all this time?" asked Rania while sobbing sobs.

"I'm sorry Nia's father, because I don't want to make you ashamed of having an inmate father" her father replied in tears. They hugged each other long enough while crying.

"Did you come alone Nia?" asked her father after they could ease their cries.

"No, I was together. "Rania's speech stopped when she did not see Vero in the treatment room. "I mean, I'm not alone because there's a father" Rania said.

Where'd brother go? Is there anything urgent? Why didn't he tell me? I'm so confused, Rania.

"How's your mother Nia doing?" ask the father.

"I'm sorry Dad because I can't take good care of you. Mother is no longer with us, she is calm on her side" said Rania, crying again.

"Ma... Ma's... You mean... Your mother's gone, Nia?" asked his father to confirm Rania's words, he was quite surprised to hear it until his hands shook.

Rania was crying while holding her father's hand and nodding her head with tears.

"It's all dad's fault! I shouldn't have left you! Don't ever forgive Rania's father!" exclaiming her father hysterically threw Rania's hand. A surprised Rania hit the table.

Praangggs...

The glass on the small table fell and broke into pieces.

The guards who heard the commotion rushed inside and immediately called for a nurse. His father became increasingly hysterical when he saw the guards and tried to pull his handcuffs.

"Let go...I'm not guilty! I have to see my wife! Let go of me now!" his father's screams are getting crazier.

The nurses immediately injected drugs into the infusion of the father so that he could calm down again. Slowly his father's land returned to calm and began to close his eyes, returning to sleep due to the influence of drugs.

"I beg you to stay in this room, let the patient rest so that his health does not get worse" said the nurse before going out.

"Miss has heard orders from the nurse that the patient should rest, so I hope you leave immediately so that we can take back duty" one of the guards told Rania.

"Well sir, tomorrow I'll be back again" said Rania as she fixed her father's blanket and walked out with a sad bow. As she exited the room, Rania looked at Vero who was sitting not far from the room while holding his bowed head.

"So why are you here?" ask Rania.

"I...L'm...I had arrived to receive a call from Jeff, so I could not come in" said Vero brick-strapped as a result of being surprised to see Rania was in front of him. "Have you met your father? Is he really your real father?" ask Vero to make sure.

"Of course he was right my real father, where maybe I misidentified my own father. Do I need to do a DNA test?" asked Rania in a joking manner.

"No need if you're sure. Let's go home when it's done" said Vero standing up and walking towards the parked car.

"Why do I feel like my brother's attitude has changed a little?" rania muttered in surprise as she looked at the back of Vero who was walking in front of her.

...❁ ❁ ❁ ❁ ❁ ❁...

At midnight, Rania's father awakens. He cried again when he remembered that his wife had gone home first.

"I'm sorry you can't take care of you Mom, you shouldn't leave you when you're down. We should have fought together, sorry selfish father who is only selfish. But I see for myself now that I have received punishment for what my father did to you" he murmured with a sobbing cry. Then he remembered the events in the past that flashed in his brain like a video slide.

FLASHBACKS

That day he will meet with his business partners to discuss the problems of their companies that are experiencing losses. They met at a cafe because it was Sunday.

"I'm sorry I'm late" said Fery (figo's father).

"No problem, I just arrived" said Edwin (father of Rania).

They then ordered drinks before starting to discuss their company's problems are quite precarious.

"So how are we going to take a merger offer from Mr Daniel's company?" ask Fery

"Are we not able to ask for help from the bank anymore? Somehow my hunch said this would not go according to plan" said Edwin who felt uneasy.

"Aaahhh... It's just your feelings, is not the company Mr Daniel is a big company? It could be that later our company will become a big company because we partner with them" said Fery reassured his partner.

Edwin was just silent while contemplating what his colleague said. He also drank the coffee they had ordered before going to meet their potential partners.

"I've just brought your car, it looks like you're thinking a lot" said Fery, taking the key in Edwin's hand.

"Thank you" Edwin said and entered the passenger seat.

They also drove in silence, suddenly the sky turned dark and rain fell with a rush of lightning where.

"We should pull over first, it's dangerous if we keep driving!" edwin tried to beat the sound of rain.

"There's no need for us to reach our destination soon!" fery exclaimed in the midst of the swift sound of rain. At that time Fery was trying to corner the car in front of him, but fateful from the opposite direction came a truck. Because the road is slippery due to rain, Fery was not able to control the speed of the car and throw the steering wheel to the left.

Thiiiins... Thiiiins... Thiiiins...

The sound of bumps and car brakes sounded very loud breaking the silence of the night.
