The White Heart Jasmine

Chapter 89 - Never Leave Him

Elvan and Farel looked at each other. What happened to Tirta? Erika still showed an anxious face.

"Ma, how?" ask Elvan again.

"It must be a ring installation operation," replied Erika.

"Should it?" Farel.

"If in two days there is no significant development, that's what must be done." Erika replied with a slightly trembling voice.

How else would you like? Doctors know what works best for Tirta's condition. All three just fell silent. Bring their own minds. Elvan then chose to sit outside the room. Erika and Farel remained inside.

Elvan's mind wasn't just filled with his papa. But also Bondan and Melati. He knew again Melati was angry with him. Even their relationship has not returned well. How he's gonna handle this.

"Night, Elvan." I heard someone say hello.

Elvan. Azka came with Mateo.

"Night, Om." Elvan returned Mateo's greeting.

"How's Papa, El?" said Azka who just got to the hospital.

He just landed from a trip out of town and got word about papa. Go home a little while and go to the hospital. He happened to meet Mateo in front of the hospital.

"Not good, brother," replied Elvan. The voice of Elvan.

"I went inside first" said Azka. He entered the room followed by Mateo. Some time later Azka and Mateo returned out of the room.

"I'm worried about Papa." Azka said while

step up near Elvan and sit next to his sister.

Mateo sat down but a little far away. "Your father should take a complete break from his work. It's nothing, he loves his job, but he has to love himself more" Mateo said.

"Really, Om. After this I'll take care of the company." Elvan looked at Mateo.

"Yes, the paperwork for Rumah Garuda is almost complete, El. In a few days everything is in order" said Mateo.

Elvan did ask Mateo to take care of the Garuda House permit to be more official in the eyes of the country and not a wild container.

"Good, Om. Thank you very much." Elvan moved closer to Mateo. An idea came to his mind with regards to Bondan.

Elvan then recounts the problems that happened to Bondan. He asks Mateo how good it is that they can bring Bondan but not break the rules. So Mateo also explained and gave some advice that can be done for it. Elvan is a little relieved, he can act now to help Bondan.

Azka and Mateo left the hospital around 11 p.m. Azka did not stay overnight because she was very tired from her trip. In addition Adista is pregnant with her second child. He did not want to leave his wife often.

The night passed very slowly. Elvan barely slept. Sitting on a chair while leaning his head against the wall made his body ache all.

"El, you go home, yeah, you have to go to the office this morning. Don't get sick later too. Let Mama and Farel take care of papa. He's off today" Erika said. He elus Elvan's shoulder.

"All right, Ma." Elvan manut's. He stands. "If there's anything, let me know quickly."

"Yes, definitely," said Erika.

Almost 4am. Elvan's home. He was able to sleep for at least three hours before going to the office.

*

The Florian Park office.

Melati sees her father calling her seriously. Looks like something's up. They just got to the office. Gilang had confirmed the meeting schedule with several business partners at 10 this morning.

"Why, Dad?" Melati asked as soon as her father finished the phone call.

"Pak Tirta is in the hospital. Yesterday noon. And his condition is not good. The meeting will be represented by Elvan later," replied his father.

"Om Tirta was in the hospital yesterday afternoon?" said Melati. Then when Elvan received a call from his mother. Why didn't Elvan tell him? Is it because he's still mad at Elvan? Melati feels very bad.

"Dad, can I go to the hospital?" ask Melati.

"Go away. Maybe Mama Elvan needs a friend there," her father said.

"Yes. Thank you, Dad." Melati cleaned up her work. An hour later he rushed to the hospital.

"Aunt Erika..." Jasmine enters Tirta's room being treated. Erika looked at Melati.

Erika was alone, Farel came home at 7 a.m.

"Hi, Mel. Thank you for coming. Must be Elvan telling you," said Erika.

Melati answered nothing. It wouldn't be nice if Melati said she knew from her father. In bed Tirta was still sleeping.

"How about Auntie?" ask Melati. He's taking a bath in Tirta's bed.

"There has been no progress. Still waiting until tomorrow" replied Erika. This beautiful woman looks very tired. Her heart was troubled to see the condition of her husband.

"Yes.. Aunty can only pray, Mel. Resign and ask for the best," said Erika Lirih.

"Mails..." Tirta was awake. He saw Melati.

"Of..." Melati looked at Tirta. He moved closer to the man who looked so weak.

"Sit down." said Tirta slowly.

Melati pulled the chair behind her.

"How are you? Long time Om didn't meet you, Mel. Must hurt first yes, then Melati want to look at Om." Tirta looked at Melati.

Is correct. Over a month Melati's not going to Elvan's house. In addition to busy in the office and House Garuda, his relationship with Elvan who was bad made Melati not think to the house of the Edgar family.

"I'm sorry, Om," said Melati. He doesn't feel very good.

"You're not having a problem with Elvan, are you?" ask Tirta.

Why ask that? Does Tirta know anything? Or is this a father's strong feeling?

"Mel..your first time home, at Om and Aunt's wedding anniversary... Om still remembers... Elvan hasn't said anything about you... But, that night... See him approaching you. The way he looks at you Om can tell... He's in love with you..." Tirta spoke somewhat stammeringly.

Melati just listen. Although there was a little anxiety to see the weakness of Tirta speak.

"Then, on his seventeenth birthday... Om was not surprised to see Melati in the cafe.." continued Tirta. "Look at you closer... Om know, you are a good woman... Om glad he found you for his life..."

"Mas... have, yes.do not be forced to talk a lot." said Erika. She stood at the feet of her husband.

"It's okay, honey, I don't know if I have enough time." said Tirta.

"Of..." Melati grabbed Tirta's hand and held it. His heart was deeply moved. He had not expected from the start this wise man to notice himself.

"Mel.. promised Om.. Never leave him..." Tirta's voice is getting weaker.

"Of..." Melati is getting anxious. Tirta's face paled.

"Mel.promise.." There was hardly any sound from Tirta anymore.

"Yes.I promise, Om... I promise whatever happens I'll be with Elvan..." While thanks to tears Melati already flowed on her cheeks.

Tirta smiled faintly then she clasped her chest. His face is getting pale. His hands and feet were cold. His body began to tremble.

"Yes..." Erika approaches Tirta. He's no longer reacting. Quickly Erika pressed the emergency call button. Erika looks so anxious.

Two nurses are coming. They saw Tirta's condition. Then one of them ran out.

"Suster.." said Erika.

"Mom, can you wait outside? We'll take care of the patient" the nurse said.

Erika and Melati came out with mixed feelings. The nurse came with the doctor. They entered the room and saw the condition of Tirta.

Outside the room Melati and Erika could only pray. Don't know how to.

"Ma? Papa why?" Elvan appeared. He knows something's going on. Because the room was closed while Erika was outside. And... Jasmine... Elvan looked at Melati, then looked at her mother again.

"The worse." Erika crying.

Elvan hugged her mother. The usually tough woman is now fragile. His heart is very sad. Tirta went in and out of the hospital several times. But this condition is the worst. She was so scared that she had to lose her husband. He doesn't want to, he's not ready.

Elvan hugged her mother tightly. She was crying too. Her tears ran down the end of her eyes and she wiped them. Melati looked at the mother and the child. His heart was also very sad. Elvan is a man he loves very much. Erika is a very kind and gentle woman. He even felt he found another mother in Erika even though his status with Elvan was still dating to this day.

With anxious feelings, Elvan invited his mother to sit down. Melati gets a drink for Erika which she carries in her bag. After some time, Erika calmed down. Elvan stayed by her mother's side and let Erika lean on her shoulder.

Melati sat not far from Elvan and Erika. His heart continued to pray that God would once again do wonders for Tirta. He wanted Tirta to see the promise he made today would happen. Yes, whatever happens he will stay by Elvan's side and love her wholeheartedly.

"Mother Erika.." dr. Prima out of the room.

"Doctor..." Erika stands. He approached the doctor. Elvan followed behind him.

"While the condition of Pak Tirta is quite stable, although still weak. We're gonna have an operation tonight. Before things get worse. Can you come to take care of the administration? There are several letters to be signed" said dr. Primed.

"Well, Doctor," said Erika.

"You're here with Papa." Erika told Elvan and followed dr. Primed.

Elvan looked at Erika and dr. Prima walked away.

"Why didn't you tell me Om Tirta was in the hospital?" Melati's approaching Elvan.

Elva looked at Melati.
