Missing In The Heart
Chapter 98. Knowing the goodness of Mahavir.

Rachel was back in bed on top of her safe, her right hand was also re-insulated with an infusion needle. Both of his eyes looked swollen and still looked the remnants of his crying. But his breathing was beginning to sound regular.

On the side of his gurney stood his two parents who looked at him with concern.

Ms. Amitha wiped the corner of her eyes for the umpteenth time, raised Rachel's blanket to her chest and looked at her husband. "Did James not want to change his decision at all?" Ask her husband in a lowered voice so as not to disturb his daughter.

Mr. Wijaya just nodded without making a sound. His brown eyes can not be separated looking at the state of his daughter.

Mrs. Amitha sighed softly, looking a disappointed streak on her face. "How is our son going forward? As you can see, she loved her husband. It's not just guilt like your best friend accuses. Can't you see the love in your daughter's eyes?"

"Darling.I'm not a heartless man. She is my only beloved daughter. But what should I do? All this happened because of his own actions. And apart from that, we have a hand in this. We're the ones who are guilty here. We got her married the wrong way."

"But still. Can't you persuade your best friend?"

Mr. Wijaya sighed harshly and then pulled his wife in his arms. "You know how James is. I have begged him many times but the result is nil. He's a strict man, what he's said will never be drawn. At least as a parent we have to understand because he also wants the best for his son. Hopefully Vir can recover as soon as possible and get back to straightening all this out and picking up our daughter." He then gave a glimpse of the top of his wife's head.

Ms. Amitha just nodded slowly, her heart felt in the crumb looking at her daughter's state. But he also cannot do much.

"Oh yes, quickly find your son. He must still be lamenting Mahavir's departure somewhere in this hospital." Next, let go of his embrace.

"Yes, maybe Lily was with him. Your daughter's asleep, use the time to rest first, you've been sleep deprived here." He then stepped outside the room.

Mr. Wijaya rubbed his face then hit his body sitting on the sofa and leaned his back. Just about to close his eyes, I faintly heard Rachel's voice calling out to him. With a swift Pak Wijaya got up and approached.

"What's up, son? Wanna drink?" He sat next to his daughter's gurney and gently rubbed his forehead.

Rachel nodded slowly. He returned to shed his tears. "Dad...I miss him.i can't see him anymore.." (Dad, I miss him, I can't see him anymore.)

"Please son.one day he will surely come back." (one day he will definitely come back.)

"It's all my fault dad... Such an mahavir because of my selfishness..." He sighed with sobbing. "When I knew her true self, I hated her so much dad. I was angry and disappointed at his actions that had lied to me. I don't even want her son who was in my womb. I have hurt her many times with my sharp words. I'm so guilty of him dad... I'm guilty.hiks..hiks..." The next is getting sobbing.

"No, baby, you're not wrong. Mahavir is also completely innocent in this regard. It's all Daddy and Mommy's fault. We shouldn't have lied to you and married you the wrong way."

Rachel moved her body around to face Mr. Wijaya. His hand raised pulled the big hand that rubbed his forehead.

"I don't regret my marriage to her, dad.but I wonder what reason daddy married me to her, daddy himself knows that I hated her so much. Why dad?"

"I'm sorry daddy son, we think it's best for you both." His words go hand in hand with a long breath. Paused for a moment, looked down at the corner of his eyes and then raised his face again. "Daddy is worried because you keep being closed to other people. Be cold to any man because of the shadow of Dirman. Cultivating unwarranted hatred due to misunderstandings. While he himself loves you so sincerely and always tries to take care of you from afar."

Back Pak Wijaya sighed.

"Without you knowing he's been helping you since you settled in London, son. To be honest he is the one who takes care so that you can enter college easily at your dream University, he to find you the best mentor in the field of fashion. He asked some famous models to be willing to be your model when launching your first. Even he is the one who has been looking for you a building for your office and designed it yourself according to your taste until you just accept the solution without knowing the process. All the money and expenses you used to pay it all are returned to daddy in the form of savings in your name. Van for your office operations that you think daddy bought, that's also he who bought it, not daddy son. He also chooses the best people to accompany you without your knowledge at all. He is the one who has been behind your success without expecting anything in return. Time and time again daddy refused his kindness, but he still insisted. He said it's okay if you don't return his feelings, he's happy enough just to see you happy. He made daddy promise to keep it all from you." Unmistakably. He rubbed the corner of his eyes and gently rubbed the back of Rachel's hand.

"Frankly Daddy can't bear to see it that way. His sacrifice for you is so great, son. That's why daddy's trying to get you guys together. And when there's a fraud incident at the hotel that hit you, daddy makes it an opportunity. Daddy asked him to follow daddy's plan. At first he also disagreed with daddy's request, but daddy forced him to. Many times he also asked permission to confess to you about his identity because he could not continue to lie to you. He even said he didn't dare to touch you while lying to you, but daddy forbade him. Daddy's guilty of this." His expression was long with deep regret.

Hearing that, Rachel began to tear up. Regrets are getting deeper. Her chest is getting tighter. Even breathing was very heavy for him. It was very shortsighted his thoughts on Mahavir first. How he lowered the man's self-esteem without even listening to his reasons.

"Son, don't be like this. Daddy's sick to see you like this..."

"Why is daddy hiding all this from me? If I had known everything, I wouldn't have behaved badly to her dad. I hate daddy, I hate daddy..." Her shriek was accompanied by sobs that increasingly bitter heartbreaking.

Mr. Wijaya looked down deeply, unable to see his daughter's face.

"If only we hadn't known each other in the past. If only daddy hadn't brought it first. He's definitely not going to have all this bad luck. Why did daddy bring her into my life? Why dad?"

"I'm sorry daddy son. Forgive daddy..." Grab Rachel's hand and hold it, while one hand rubs Rachel's tears. "Do you forget son, not daddy who brought him into your life, in our lives. But you're on your own, son. Unknowingly you brought it to daddy, you brought it into our family. You made it into your own life."

Rachel took off Mr. Wijaya's grasp and turned to her back. "Quite dad, I can't hear any further. I want my own dad, leave me alone first..." Shift with all. His body shook violently because of his crying.

Mr. Wijaya was silent for a moment. Swallowed his saliva, then stood up. His hands outstretched gently rubbed his daughter's head, slowly he approached and kissed her head. And then in silence, he went out. Give her daughter time to herself.

Bryan was still sitting curled up on the floor. Hiding her face between her knees and crying in silence. Lily persuaded her many times to get out of her place, but Bryan ignored her cousin's existence.

Like Dejavu, Bryan experienced the same condition when he was eight years old. Raging and rebelling when the same person is taken away from him. A man who was already a part of her life, a man she had already considered her brother, a man she loved even more than Rachel, her only older sister. It was very painful for him every time he saw Mahavir's situation like that.

Bryan still dissolved in his sadness when then felt someone's hand rubbing gently on his shoulder. A very familiar swipe. Bryan lifted his face and looked up, looking at a very dear old woman. The woman crouched down and pulled her head into her arms while gently rubbing her back.

"Have a son, this is for Mahavir's good too. We can't do anything." Her speech. "We pray that he recovers quickly."

"But why should it be carried like that. We are his family. Rachel's sister is his wife. Did something happen between Vir's sister and Rachel's sister?"

Ms. Amitha removed Bryan's head from her embrace, changed by cupping her son's face and looking at his bead closely.

As if getting an answer to his question, Bryan sighed softly. "That stupid woman turned out to be the cause of it all..." Aspersion.

"Don't say that. He's your brother. He's the one who's more hurt in this."

"Well, I know mom. So how's it going now?" Ask while standing with Mrs Amitha.

"Please promise me you won't discuss this in front of him. Don't offend anything that could hurt him."

Bryan nodded his head in understanding and embraced his mommy shoulder as he walked hand in hand toward his sister's nursery. He saw the daddy sitting on an iron bench that was along the corridor with Lily. Sitting limp and looking chaotic. It was very clearly seen dark circles and marsupials under his eyes. All this time his older sister was very close to his daddy, while he was closer to his mommy.

"Dad..." Tegur Bryan when he was in front of Mr. Wijaya. "How's Rachel's sister?"

"She was still sad and upset at daddy. He asked daddy out and needed to be alone first."

"Then, daddy and mommy should go home first. Let Bryan and Lily's brother take care of Rachel's sister."

"Yes Uncle, let Lily be with Bryan here."

"We've been sleeping a lot on the plane, dad. In the parking lot there is still Mr. Maman. Kasian also if he stays in the car. You better go home. We'll let you know soon if anything happens to Rachel's sister."

Mr. Wijaya threw a glance at his wife and Mrs Amitha nodded slowly.

"alright. Lily.., Uncle asked to please comfort your sister." He said and stood up from his seat.

"Each Uncle."

"Bryan, don't act in front of your brother."

"Yep..." Bryan said lazily.

"All right, we go home first." Mrs Amitha took Mr. Wijaya's hand and moved together from that place.

Bryan sat his body where his former daddy sat. He leaned his back and crossed his hands.

"Bryan, that shoulder-haired doctor here, she is you girlfriend, right? The face is similar to the one on your phone's wallpaper."

" Hmm..." Bryan nodded lazily.

"Who is the handsome guy with her? Looks like they're very close."

Bryan scratched his head which suddenly felt itchy. "Hmm, how'd ya... Their relationship is hard to pin down."

"Huh?" Lily looked in surprise at Bryan. And Bryan just flicked his shoulders up without wanting to explain further.

In the other room of the hospital, a man sat in a doctor's office chair, while the doctor stood before him, bowing slightly to treat the wound on his face.

"Your boyfriend's coming...." Said the man.

"Yes, I saw it." The beautiful doctor answered with a focus on the man's face.

"You don't want to see him first?"

Raya straightened her back and stared inside the man in front of her. "You want me to go there?"

"Didn't you guys not see each other for long? Don't you miss him?"

Raya put the medicine and the cotton that she held back into place, "Alright, I go there and treat your own wounds" he said then turned around and wanted to leave the man. But his steps stopped because his hand was pulled back. "What else?"

"Solve this out first...."

Raya sighed, regained the cotton and betadine liquid, slightly bent down and went back to treating Rey's wounds. "I miss him too, but he needs time with his family first. I'll meet him too."

Rey pegged in his position, he did not listen to the words of Raya at all, netraya was busy looking at the lips of Kingdom who moved while talking and continued to observe the lines of the Kingdom's face so closely as if scanning the entire beautiful face. The woman's round eyes focused on Rey's lips, and she occasionally wet her lips and bit her lower lip. Make Rey's heart react and work fast.

"Don't look at me like that." Tegur Raya because it feels constantly stared at intensely.

"I missed you....." Rey unconsciously.

Raya frowned and looked back at Rey sharply. Rey nodded and lowered her gaze.

"Are you serious about that boy?"

"That boy has a name...!"

Again Rey lifted her gaze and looked at the Kingdom that was getting closer to her face. "You're serious about Bryan?"

"You think?"

"Did I really not stand a chance?"

Raya stops her activity, then returns Rey's gaze. For a few moments the two looked at each other in silence, until finally Raya cut off her gaze because she felt something pulsing in her heart. Raya resumed her hand movements on the surface of Rey's lips.

Rey grabbed Raya's fingers and grasped them gently. "I love you more than you think, Ra...." He looked at the whole face of Raya. "Since High School until now has never changed...."

Raya pulled his hand and reflexively rubbed his hand on his great white coat. His movements did not escape Rey's sight. Makes the man disappointed.

"It looks like the wound on your lips has made your mouth so rummage indistinct." Speak Raya with ketus. Clean the medicine and put it back in place. "I'll see Bryan, if you want to get out, don't forget to close the door." Then he turned around and stepped towards the door.

Rey looked at Raya's back away. His feelings suddenly stirred. Some of his heart said to hold the woman and others said to give up. For a few seconds there was an inner war in his heart. Until finally Rey got up and with her long steps immediately pulled Raya into his arms right before the woman touched the door handle.

The body of the Kingdom was pulled backwards. Two large hands were now perfectly coiled in his stomach.

"Please don't go to that young man...." Whisper Rey in Raya's ear with a clear tone.

DEG'...

Suddenly the heart of Raya was racing. His whole body is full. There was a strange feeling that he had never felt before suddenly crept into his heart cavity.

"Le... Take-off..." Raya Gelagapan.

Rey took off her embrace, flipped Raya's body slowly and then pushed her until Raya's back stuck to the door leaf. One hand raised raised the chin of Kingdom.

"Ma.. What do you want?" He asked as Rey's face drew closer to his. He could even feel the breath of the man.

"Why do you think with my position, what am I gonna do?" Rey half whispered.
