Rio and Rico finally rejoined the others after they finished donating their blood. Without further ado, Rio went straight to Aby and looked at her daughter-in-law with a gaze asking for an explanation.
Aby who understood the meaning of Rio's gaze, sighed quite long.
"Pa, I'm confused, can't I explain later?" please Aby with a clear face, because honestly for now his mind is still on his wife who is struggling inside there.
"Let me tell you the story, because me and Calvin, know what really happened." Kenjo ventured to open his voice, and looked at Aby for permission. Aby finally nodded her head, giving her permission.
"Actually, the child that Celyn conceived, was really Aby's child,"
All of the netra that was there grew perfectly, and suddenly looked towards Aby.
Rio clenched his hand and swung his hand slapping Aby. Everyone gasped in shock, including Aby seeing Rio's sudden angry reaction.
"It turns out you're just pretending to be nice, wanting to marry my son. You're just covering up your depraved behavior."
"Swimming, Om! I haven't finished the story. Didn't you, Om heard it yourself, said the doctor, that Cellyn had never had sex? it means Aby never does anything that doesn't." Kenjo pulled Rio's body away from Aby. While Rio was stunned to realize his mistake.
"I'm sorry, Papa, By! Papa was stifled, so as not to think clearly." sizzled Rio in regret while hugging Aby.
"But how did Cellyn get pregnant with Aby's child?" this time it was Ardan who opened his voice, and was taken by the others.
Kenjo then explains everything that happened, as clearly as possible without adding and subtracting one bit. And Kenjo also showed video of Gilang and Shasa's conversation as well as CCTV footage that he happened to have transferred to his cell phone.
Everyone, unmoved, unable to say anything more with trembling bodies. Gratitude, happiness and sadness are mixed into one. Even two crystal-clear liquid spheres dripped from Rio and Jasmine's eyes. Same with Amanda and Anin. While Ardan can only be stunned, and fixated on his place.
"So, is it true my daughter denied that she never did that?" there was gratitude as well as a sense of sadness that arose in Rio's heart. A sense of regret immediately surfaced in his heart, when he remembered his anger at Cellyn, to the point of making his daughter swear and cry.
"I'm sorry, Pa. It's all because of me. Had I not applied for the condition of marrying Shasa, had she not been shown to be pregnant, it was unlikely that this would have happened" Aby said while kneeling before Rio.
Rio shook his head and helped Aby to stand up and hug his daughter-in-law."It's not your fault. You don't want this to happen either." Rio said as he patted Aby on the shoulder.
"Yes, By. Behind this, we remain grateful that God allowed Cellyn to be in good hands. Mama is grateful and grateful, when you want to marry Cellyn, even though you don't know that what Cellyn contains is really your child." Jasmine chimed in on Rio's words her husband.
"So, is what Celyn is really my granddaughter?" said Amanda with a glowing face. Amanda already considers the baby that was conceived by Celyn was her grandson, but she could not deny when knowing this reality, Amanda was really grateful and very happy.
"Even if Aby and Celyn get married, Shasa and Gilang's actions remain inexcusable. They must be punished severely." Chirps Ardan with a very flat tone but could not cover the firmness in his speech
The door opened again and Doctor Sinta came back out with a face that was hard to read.
"How, Doc? my wife and kids are okay, right?" cecar Aby is impatient.
"Look, Mr. Aby. It is with a heavy heart that I must ask Mr. Aby to sign this letter of consent."
"What agreement?" urged Aby with a feeling of misgivings.
He fell backwards and cried.
"You have to choose now, Mr. Aby. Because the time is so bad. Otherwise, you can lose all three." insisted Doctor Sinta.
"Can't you save those three, Doc?" ask Rio.
"Can't, sir. That's pretty much impossible. Come on Mr. Aby, hurry up, make a decision! I know it's very hard, but inevitably you have to decide.
"Save his mother, Don't!" finally Aby decided.
"Are you sure, Mr Aby?" ask the doctor to make sure, and Aby just nodded her head, assuring.
"All right, then!" the doctor said as he passed back into the room after Aby put his signature on it.
"Son?" Amanda approached the troubled Aby, with a look of guilt.
"Am I not a good father, ma? have I killed my children? but I don't want to lose Cellyn either, ma. I haven't been able to make it happy." Aby cried while banging her head and punching the wall so hard that the back of her hand was spitting out fresh blood. Then he fell down slowly leaning against the wall with both legs bent and hands on his head.
"Aby, don't do that, son. You didn't kill your children. You just have no other choice" said Amanda, soothing her son with tear-stained cheeks.
"Ma, will Cellyn forgive me if she finds out I killed our children? He's gonna hate me, Ma." Aby hugged her mother tightly. All who were there could not hide their sorrow anymore, seeing Aby's desperate state. Kenjo and Calvin even fell on the wall with tears coming out of their eyes, and many times they did.
"I'm evil, Ma, I'm evil. I'm totally useless." Aby hit her own head. Ardan immediately approached Aby and restrained Aby's hand from harming himself.
"Aby, Relax!" snapped Ardan while shaking the body of his son who now looked so weak.
"If you want to be useful, prove it! don't hurt yourself! if you were like this, you would even look like a loser, you know?! if you're weak like this, how can you protect Celyn, Hah?! Papa knows you're sad, but you have to be strong for your wife's sake." Ardan's voice rose and fiery.
Aby did not reply at all, she could only cry as she pleased and looked helpless. He imagined the disappointed face of Celyn later when he found out, the children he had been in for 7 months were no more.
While Rio and Jasmine and Rico could not say anything else. They do not think that Aby would rather save Cellyn than her twins.
At the moment when sadness was enveloping everyone, suddenly there was a baby cry that was not too loud, but it can make everyone who is there get up from where they sit and get closer to the closed door. Then about 2 minutes later, there was another baby sound that although not too loud, but able to make the people who were there goosebumps. (Even the author has goosebumps also fit this writing).
Not long after, the lamp that was above the operating room door was extinguished, a sign that the operation was complete.
Aby and the others could not wait for the door to open. And when the door opened, Aby immediately rushed over, approaching Doctor Sinta.
"How's my wife, Doc?"
