The fingers of the fingers that still looked pale slowly gave a signal of movement, two seconds later followed by the eyeball that moved under the eyelid that was still closed. The eye blinked slowly over and over again to adjust the glare of light that penetrated his net, along with his efforts to reach full consciousness.
Noticing the movement, Ms. Amitha who was sitting next to the gurney quickly pressed the nurse call button. A faint smile and tears of gratitude fell just from the corner of the middle-aged woman's eyes as soon as she saw the princess had started to open both eyes.
Not long after, a female doctor with two nurses came in with a half-run. The doctor took penlight out of his snelli bag and shone a light from the tip of the penlight towards Rachel's pupils, examining the possible impact of the accident as well as the surgery that had been performed on her. As soon as the pupils responded, a smile was reflected on the doctor's lips.
After examining several other vital parts of the body, the doctor and the nurses resigned and went from the treatment room nuanced soft green with floral wallpaper along the wall of the room.
For a moment Rachel's gaze circled through the room and came to a halt right in front of the mommy's face looking at her with a smile in her tears.
"Mom...." He shrieked in a voice so hoarse again weak.
"Yes dear. It's mommy son. You need what? Wanna drink?" He asked while gently rubbing Rachel's bruised bluish arm.
Rachel shook her head slowly and closed her eyes again. Trying to restore his entire memory. A minute, two minutes, until once the pieces of his memory fused together, he suddenly forced himself to wake up from his bed.
"Vir... Vir... Where, Mom? Where is he? Where's vir??" He asked while trying to get down from his gurney, though his vision was still spinning.
"Silence, calm down! You just realized." Mrs Amitha said trying to hold Rachel's shoulders to stay in her gurney.
"VIR..., WHERE IS HE? SHE'S OKAY, RIGHT?" His screams demanded answers.
"Dear, she's fine. We'll meet him later. You are still recovering." Ms. Amitha hugged Rachel tightly.she herself tried hard in front of the princess.
"NO, I HAVE TO SEE IT MOM.... !!I NEED TO SEE IT RIGHT NOW. PLEASE TAKE ME TO SEE IT, PLEASE..... " The cry of hysterics in Mrs Amitha's arms was accompanied by her sobbing.
The door of the room suddenly opened, Mr. Wijaya entered in a hurry to be surprised to hear the sound of screaming from outside.
"You're conscious, son?" Sapanya and immediately hugged Rachel with Ms. Amitha at once.
Rachel let go of her second hug, pulled both of Mr. Wijaya's hands and looked at the two brown eyeballs belonging to her daddy. "Dad...Vir's okay, right?" Ask, but Mr. Wijaya could not answer it. He pulled back and hugged his daughter.
"I want to see it, Dad...! I wanna see it... Take me to see it....." His ink with such a low tone and a cry that sounded so bitter.
Ms. Amitha shook her head slowly and looked at her husband's nanar. But Mr. Wijaya nodded in response to his wife's gaze.
"Yes son, daddy will take you to see. Can you walk? Want Daddy to hold on? Or Daddy get me the wheelchair first...?"
"No need dad, I can walk. I'm doing fine. Take me to see it immediately."
Mr. Wijaya immediately took over Rachel's body and swept her down from the gurney. Ms. Amitha turned her face away, wiped her falling tears and pushed the iron support of Rachel's infusion bottle, following Mr. Wijaya's steps leading Rachel to the ICU room.
From the end of the corridor Rachel was able to see some foreign men standing guard in front of a glass-walled room. In front of the room was also sitting Rey alone on an iron chair with a straight forward view. Raya herself has returned to work in other parts of the hospital.
Rachel strengthened herself and accelerated her pace despite limping in the arms of Mr. Wijaya. His heart immediately beat fast while capturing the slightly gripping atmosphere ahead, especially the look on their faces all that seemed so sweet. Full of pain.
"Dad.I can do it myself..." He releases himself from the chest's arms and takes over the infused iron pole from Mommy and pushes him and steps slowly toward Rey. Mr. Wijaya pulled Ms. Amitha into his arms who could only stand still and observe her daughter while holding back her cries.
"Rachel...." Rey got up to her feet as soon as her tail saw Rachel approaching.
"Where's Vir...?" Ask. Rey simply pointed with the look of her eyes forward, where there was a wide glass to make it easier to see into a special room where Mahavir was lying in his deep sleep.
Rachel turned around slowly and stepped closer to the glass wall of the room. His pupils widened, his left hand raised smothering his mouth which was shocked to see the look inside the sterile room in front of him. His head shook in disbelief and his knees were instantly limp, unable to support his body to simply stand in place. Rachel slightly staggered to the side as her gaze suddenly turned dark, lucky that Rey who was behind her was swiftly holding her body and taking her to sit down.
Mr. Wijaya and Ms. Amitha immediately approached Rachel and were about to take her back to her treatment room.
"Darling, you haven't recovered properly. Rest first, we can go back to seeing it when you've completely recovered." Persuade Ms. Amitha, but Rachel brushed off her hand.
"I'm fine, Mom. I want to stay here, I still want to make sure." He then turned to look at Rey.
Rachel pulls Rey's shirt in front of her and gets drawn closer to her. "Rey... That's.. That's not him, is it? That's not him, is it? Answer me Rey! The one in there isn't Mahavir, is it? It's not him, is it?" He nodded with a choked voice. His tears rolled back down his face.
Rey lowered her head, her mouth tightly clenched with teary eyes.
"REYS..!! ANSWER ME REY...! THAT'S NOT HIM, IS IT?" He shouted while dropping his body into Rey's chest and crying as if there while beating the man's sturdy arm.
"Rachel... Don't be like this. You have to be strong for him. He'll be sad to see you like this." Persuade Rey while stroking the soft back of Rachel wrapped in a hospital suit.
"That's right son.., Mahavir must not want to see you like this." Said Mr. Wijaya who was sitting by his daughter's side. While Mrs Amitha was only able to be silent in her tears.
Rachel broke away from Rey's arms, pushed the man a little and looked back at his face. "What...did I get in see it inside?"
Rey nodded slowly. "We can only see it from here..." He answered with a glancing look at the glass.
Rachel took a deep breath. Sip his tears. Normalize his breathing and then slowly rise to his feet.
"Son... Let daddy help yah..." Mr. Wijaya stood up and held Rachel's arm.
Rachel shook her head, refused the help of her daddy and then pushed her iron pole along with her steps. Closer to stick to the glass wall divider room Intensive Care in front of him.
Rachel closed her eyes unable to see all that, her tears just kept falling without her being able to contain. So sick and hurt his heart saw all that. Like in iris-iris an invisible light. And what made him feel the most hit, because all of it was caused by him. He was the cause of all the misfortunes of that man.
"Vir.... I'm sorry, it's all because of me.... I'm sorry, honey....." He rubbed the glass surface in front of him, as if he was gently rubbing the man's arm.
"Vir... Hang in... Please, hold on to me...."
***
Two days have passed, during that time Rachel never separated to observe Mahavir from behind the glass. Survived standing lingering in front of the glass wall of Mahavir's room. When tired Rachel will sit in the chair that is there, and if she fell asleep in the chair then either Mr. Wijaya or Rey lift her back to the treatment room. But when he wakes up, he will go back there. Ignoring the sight of the guards who were on guard and ignoring all the pain in his body, be it pain, fatigue or hunger. Mrs Amitha and Raya were the ones who often persuaded her to eat even two three spoons.
Even now Rachel still felt at home in front of the glass wall for a full day. Continue to observe the state of Mahavir in there that has not shown any signs of waking up from his sleep.
Raya and Rey could only observe from behind, while Pak Wijaya and Ny Amitha sat slightly away in the right wing seat of the room.
".. Chel..after night, you also need to rest...." Persuade the Kingdom who had stepped forward to approach him.
"I still want to be here Ra..." He said, turning towards Raya and smiling with wounds. "Please... I can't if I don't see it for a second..."
Raya turned towards Mrs Amitha and Mr. Wijaya as if asking for her directions. Mr. Wijaya and Mrs Amitha only gave body gestures by nodding slowly. As if understanding the intentions of the two old men, Raya nodded her head and then returned to the back and invited Rey to come sit with her in the iron chair.
For a moment the atmosphere became silent, only the sound of the monitor machine from inside the room Mahavir was heard to the outside. Rachel was still standing there.
Up to the pentofel-shoeing footsteps of some well-dressed foreign men and some doctors distract them all.
The foreign doctors and three senior doctors are in charge of the hospital, including Dr Manaf, who is a papa Raya, with a variety of medical equipment directly into the ICU Mahavir room escorted by several bodyguards. While some of the other bodyguards were with someone who looked like their leader stepped closer.
The bodyguards who stood neatly in every corner of the room suddenly turned pale, not least the man named Hans. Same with Rey who reflexes standing. Hans stepped up quickly to welcome the arrival of the newly arrived foreign men. He bowed respectfully in front of a tall, big, strapping man, wearing a dark brown suit. At first glance he looks like Stuart, but they are different people. Rachel had seen the man once, with Mr. James when he walked into the hotel ballroom waiting room before his wedding ceremony. His blue eyes stared intently at Hans as if he wanted to eat him alive. And a second later,
BUKKK... BUKKP.... BUKKK...
The man hit Hans right in his stomach many times. Instead of resisting or complaining, Hans even leaned more and more in salute despite still grimacing in pain. The man's eyes turned to Rey. As if realizing it, Rey stepped over and lowered her head in front of the person.
PLAKK...
A loud slap of the man was gifted on Rey's cheek, making Rey stagger and crash to the floor. The corners of his lips were torn and draining fresh blood. With panic Raya ran over to Rey and helped her to stand up.
"It's a request from Mr.James!" (That was the seat of Mr. James) He exclaimed and stepped over to Mr. Wijaya and Ms. Amitha who were sitting a little far on the right wing of the room. Slightly bowed respectfully, the man was involved in serious talks with Mr. Wijaya.
Rachel who still did not understand the situation was just silent to observe, between Mahavir who was in the crowd of doctors, a group of bodyguards, and the, Rey, who is born to Raya and her Daddy and Mommy, are currently talking to the foreign man.
Mr. Wijaya looked pale and looked at Rachel with a face that could not be understood by Rachel. Mr. Wijaya was finally seen nodding forcefully at the man. After the nod, the stranger approached Rachel.
"Good night Mrs. Alisters. I'm Albert Forrer, Mr. James's secretary." (Good night, Mrs Alister. I'm Albert Forrer, Mr. James' secretary) said, introducing myself while bowing respectfully to Rachel.
"I'm sorry that I have to say this. With a heavy heart we will take Mr. Mahavir. This is a direct order from Mr. James. I hope you can understand and not complicate the situation." (Sorry I have to say this. With a heavy heart we will take Mr. Mahavir. This is a direct order from Mr. James. I hope you can understand and not complicate the situation) he explained. At the same time Rachel saw Mahavir's gurney being pushed out of the ICU room with some medical equipment.
Rachel immediately shook her head and ran to hold Mahavir's gurney. "NO...!! PLEASE DON'T.... DON'T BRING HIM AWAY....!!" (No. Please don't, don't take her away) she cried tightly hugging Mahavir's body.
The doctors and bodyguards halted his movements, silent waiting for a hint from Mr Forrer.
Mr. Forrer approached Rachel. "Sorry Mrs's. Alister..!"'s chat...!" He said politely with a respectful bow, before finally pulling Rachel away from Mahavir.
"LET ME GO!!" (Let go of me) he shouted at Mr. Forrer's hand and pushed him violently. Remain determined to hold Mahavir.
Rey and Raya can only stay in a place where they don't know what to do.
Mr. Wijaya asked Mr. time. Forrer to calm down and persuade Rachel. Mr. Forrer nodded and gave him some space.
Mr. Wijaya stepped closer. Gently rubbed his daughter's back. "Son, this is for Mahavir's good. That's where he'll be handled better. Medical technology there is better than here." Persuaded it.
"Yes, honey..." Imbuh Ny Amitha by holding back her cries.
"No, I don't allow it. Why are you so bad? You guys made me marry her, why do you want me to let go?"
