In front of the operating room, all of Raymond's family gathered. Raka and Christy's best friends were there, too. Even Tristan and Vani were there. Omah and opah Christy, straight from LA. After hearing the state of their son, Raymond.
Their feelings had not been able to calm down until now, they were waiting with a huffed heart. The operation lasted three hours, still very long. Richard was very agitated, as seen from his movements. He couldn't calm down since then, always pacing back and forth, then sat down and stood up again.
"Richard"call Vira, the man's humpback made him a little surprised.
"yes, why?"asked Richard while rubbing his forehead.
"you can't believe it, pity Chris. If you are nervous like this, Chris must also be anxious" said Vira made Richard turn to look at Christy. The girl also looked agitated, Richard exhaled in a ruffled breath.
"i bought you a drink. Drink first, let your feelings be good" said Vira gave Richard a bottle of mineral water.
"listened" said Richard and drank the mineral water.
"why don't you go to the office?"richard looked at his girlfriend.
"how can I work, if my mind is full of you. I couldn't calm down, when I found out today the operation was done" said Vira made Richard smile very thinly. Even that smile was barely visible.
"thank you for understanding my condition" Richard said, holding Vira's hand.
"Chris, you okay?"asked Fara when she saw Christy was very pale.
Richard and Vira immediately approached, and saw Christy's condition. The girl looked very pale, Michel immediately checked the girl's pulse.
"Michel what's wrong?"asked Richard and sat down next to Christy. Embrace his shoulders.
"his pulse is weakening" Michel said worriedly.
"princess, does anyone hurt hmm? Tell my brother" said Richard holding Christy's hand.
"i'm just dizzy bang. I'm fine" said Christy, smiling in front of Richard.
Siska was approaching Christy. But the king immediately held him. The igu woman looked at the King heartily, she wanted to see Christy's current state.
"mother, look at Chris"kara Siska.
"i understand your feelings. But if you show up in front of Chris, it will only make things worse" said the King made Siska even more sad.
"all this is my fault" said Siska trying to hold back her stuffing.
"stop beating yourself up bun. It's all been happening. Gradually, everything will improve. Trusting the King" said the King and hugged Siska.
As for Christy, she carried Michel to the ER room. The girl's condition was not good at the moment, her body was extremely weak. His pulse was very weak, his face was pale. Michel is very worried at the moment.
Michel paired the infusion on Christy, at least it's useful at the moment. Christy was lying in a gurney, her eyes tightly shut. Michel slowly wiped away the sweat on the beautiful girl's face.
Michel was very worried at the moment, Christy made him worry. Just like Richard, he was very worried about Christy. He wants to keep Christy in the ER, but he has to stay in front of the operating room with the others.
Richard shuffled his hair in frustration, his current condition making him almost crazy. Everything was very difficult, he was confused how else.
Tristan walked up to his grandson, and sat down next to him. Richard glanced at his opiate, Tristan understood the meaning of Richard's current gaze.
"you must be strong Richard" said Tristan grasping the hand of his proud grandson.
"can Richard ask opah anything?"richard asked Tristan.
"why didn't opah ever say that you can also read someone's mind? Why would Richard know that now?"richard's question made Tristan pause for a moment. He breathed out, then looked back at his grandson.
"opah also did not know, what was the reason Raymond hid about it. But opah sure, surely she would have said that to you. But your attitude has been very cold to him" Tristan said, leaving Richard even more confused.
"Richard is like this, there's a reason for this. Opah knew that" Richard said making Tristan nod.
"Richard, listen to the opah. Every human being has made a mistake. Whether it is small or big. One of them is your father. Opah knew she was making a huge mistake. Thought of a woman, just for revenge. But it's already gone Richard. Your father didn't give up his responsibilities either, he always kept Steven at a distance" Tristan said, leaving Richard speechless.
"but opah, because of his actions. An innocent child, in an all-out humiliation. Always got the nickname bastard. I should have been responsible" Richard said staring at Tristan's face.
"your father can't do anything either. His intention is to take revenge, but he is instead trapped in love with the woman. He is confused by his own feelings. He loves two women at the same time. And he has to choose" Tristan said, recalling his son's past.
"and Raymond he prefers that Siska of yours. Because she thought, Siska is her legal wife. As for the woman, it was only the object of her revenge. But his love appeared. It made him worry" Tristan said, causing Richard to shuffle his hair in frustration.
"opah, how could Richard accept all this? This family is broken. The man Richard was proud of, even made a very fatal mistake" Richard said.
"you must forgive your father, Richard. You've been cold to her for years. Richard you should know, you are the only one who looks so much like your father. Starting from the nature, to the feelings" Tristan said that managed to make Richard a little confused.
"what do you mean?"richard looked in confusion at Tristan.
"about feelings, you two are very similar. Trapped with love. You both love two different people. At the same time" Tristan said shrinking his voice.
"Richard didn't understand the meaning of opah" Richard said ambiguously, trying to cut off his eye contact from Tristan.
"opah knows, you still love that girl. But now, you love other girls too. Who is your lover now" Tristan said, making Richard exhale with rage.
"wrong speech. I don't love him anymore" Richard said, making Tristan smile.
"your mouth can lie to opah. But your heart, can't lie Richard" Tristan said with a very serious look.
"you should be able to choose Richard. Opah doesn't want to, you end up just like your father Raymond" Tristan Richard said, staring at his opinion.
"Richard what to do, opah?"richard looked at Tristan.
"tell me the truth, don't lie about your own feelings. And the girl who loves you right now. Poor him. The bitter reality though, you must say" Tristan said as he patted his grandson's shoulder
"don't be weak. Opah knows you can get through all this" Tristan said, hugging Richard and vice versa.
Tristan loved Richard very much. He knew that his grandson was the strongest. Always get through all the problems. Whether it is difficult or not. Tristan knows Richard can.
"don't worry. Opah is here for you" Tristan whispered in Richard's ear.
"thank you opah" Richard said.
"return the general's love" said Tristan smiling. Calling Richard, as general.
12 Hours have passed, doctor Rio just came out of the operating room. The state of doctor Rio stopped in a mess. There were a few splashes of blood on his doctor's shirt. Richard instantly approached, and looked at the doctor Rio.
Without saying anything, doctor Rio immediately hugged Richard. Everyone became confused as suddenly doctor Rio cried. Everyone's feelings became mixed at this moment.
"what's going on?"asked Richard to release the arms of doctor Rio. Staring at him questioningly, while Rio's doctor looked down.
"Rio, tell me what happened" said Tristan who also knew Rio.
"what, you're gone?"richard asked very hard. His tongue felt very weak.
"humans cannot live without hearts, Richard" said doctor Rio who could no longer hold back his tears.
Siska was sitting limp, her heart feeling very broken. Raka and the King immediately held their mother firmly. Everyone is very sad at the moment.
Christy who had just appeared, instantly fell silent upon hearing the words of doctor Rio. The girl looked at Michel softly, with Michel quickly embracing her. I hope it calms him.
"dad" call Rio's doctor to Tristan Raymond's father. He always called Tristan daddy. Just like Raymond.
"thank you for always sowing Raymond all this time. Even to the end of his life" Tristan said hugging doctor Rio. Both sobbing.
Vani Raymond's mother was crying. Fara and Tasya tried to calm him down. Everyone was devastated, as were Christy's parents. Megan and Wijaya were very sad to hear that.
Richard could only be speechless, confused as to what kind of reaction. Hearts broken? That's for sure. The person he was proud of, was gone forever. It can't be back.
A gurney was pushed out of the operating room. He's a gurney bag looks like someone covered in a white cloth. Richatd held back the gurney, slowly opening the white cloth covering the person's face.
As he opened, Raymond's face was seen there. Looks very pale. Richard felt his legs very limp. He held Raymond's hand. Looked at his father's face. Begging in his heart, wishing this was just a nightmare.
"sorry.sorry for always being so bad. I know I was wrong all along. I beg you. Wake up and beat me to satisfaction. I'm willing to be hit until you're satisfied, just don't go from my side" said Richard clasping Raymond's hand tightly. Kissed her many times. I wish his father would open his eyes.
For the first time, everyone saw Richard behaving like that. There was no cold face in sight, no sharp gazes in sight. There were only sad looks, sad faces and pleads.
"Richard, we have to take care of your father's funeral" Tristan said, holding Richard's shoulder.
Richard shook his head, and looked back at Raymond's face. Keep begging, that his father wake up. Opening his eyes, seeing that Richard was crying, and that was it.
"Chris, only you can" Tristan said, telling Christy to talk to Richard.
"bang" call Christy make Richatd turn around. Looked at his dear sister.
"princess" Richard said in an already very hoarse voice.
"branch should be strong. Poor dad. He must be sad to see my brother kayak gini" said Christy who tried to hold back her tears.
"princess, try to hold her hand" Richard said. Pull slowly Christy's hand, then put it over Raymond's. Christy, desperately held back her cries.
"what are you feeling?"richard looked at Christy's face.
"there's no life anymore" said Christy biting her lower lip.
"just like my brother now. Brother's life, almost disappeared. Brother's feelings are broken, brother's heart is sick and brother's mind is hurt. Nothing is good today" Richard said, and his tears just fell.
"bang, please don't believe me. I need a brother now" Christy said staring at Richard's face.
"branches need you now" Richard said, staring at Christy's face.
"dad" said the King staring softly at Raymond's already pale face.
"dad has to wake up. There's a mother here. Why do you still close your eyes" said Raka as if she did not believe, if Raymond was no more.
"Raka, Raja, you have to be patient, you can be" Dimas said looking at his two best friends.
"not alone, bro. There we are" said Fikra trying to hold back his tears.
"you are strong" said Michel holding the hands of Raka and Raja.
"Cel, I don't exist. How should I? Should I be a doctor? So that I can save my father. Just like you saved Chris" said the King staring softly at Michel's face. Michel was very sad to hear the words of the King.
"Cel, you doctor. You can definitely save me" Raka pleaded with Michel.
Michel turned his back to Raka and Raja, it was very painful. When he heard the words of his two friends. Richard slowly drew closer to his twin brothers. Slowly Richard hugged his two brothers.
Richard stroked the heads of Raka and the King, hugging the two tightly. Richard knew for sure his two younger siblings were feeling very sad at this moment. Because he felt it too.
"bang, I don't exist" Raka said with a small sobbing.
"the branch is still there for you. Let's just say, brother is the father's successor" Richard said kissing the head of Raka and Raja.
"father's sons, should be strong. No cry. You're not little kids anymore" Richard said, letting go of his embrace. Clasping Raka and Raja's hands tightly.
Richard turned to Siska, he immediately hugged her. Siska's cry broke even more, her son's embrace was sorely missed. Siska hugged Richard's body tightly, crying out.
"don't worry. There's Richard here, mother" Richard said for the first time in years. She called Siska mother.
"hiks hiks. Everything that happened, it was because of mother" Siska said sobbing.
"everything has passed. There is no point in blaming yourself" Richard said letting go of his embrace, then wiping away Siska's tears.
"opah, help me take care of my father's funeral" said Richard, who was immediately joined by Tristan.
"come here" said Richard looking at Raka, the King and also Christy. They came closer, Richard hugging them all. This family, now becomes his great responsibility. Raymond was gone, the figure of the head of the family was gone for good. Richard was devastated.
"i promise. No one can hurt you" Richard said.
"why is there a man as strong as you. Your heart is too strong, always looks strong in front of everyone. Sometimes I get confused, what are you made of? Why is it this strong? From the beginning of our relationship, I always wanted to be the first person to make you happy" Vira said.
"sorry, if I hurt you. I'm too stupid, I can't understand my own feelings. Whatever happens later, I'm sorry if I hurt you" Richard said.
