The Successor of the Family
Arnold's Condition

You could say Arnold's condition is fine. Although there is some nerve damage that causes the way he thinks to slow down, but it does not mean anything. The doctor examined her and said that everything was in good condition. Simply by doing therapy for the next few months then everything will slowly improve.

"So where are the others, Brother Bel?" arnold asked again after being examined by a doctor.

"Anara college, papa work, grandma and grandpa break at home. This is Kak Bel's schedule that takes care of you, so that everyone can also rest." replied Abel by hiding his nervousness.

"Mother and Alan?" ask Arnold.

"Better you rest a lot, deck. Don't talk and talk too much. Later it does not heal, you know," said Abel who tried to divert the conversation.

"What are a lot of thoughts, brother? The guy I just asked where Alan and mom are. Brother Bel just answered you," said Arnold who felt strange with his brother.

Arnold felt that something was wrong with her brother. Especially when he realized, his brother looked agitated. But Arnold did not want to think much so chose to ask instead of guessing. Moreover, his head hurts if used to think too hard.

"Try slowly. What was? Something must have happened to Alan and mother until Brother Bel could not answer an easy question from Arnold," asked Arnold trying to calm his brother.

"Huf... Alan and mom are gone. They disappeared after being scolded by papa for causing Arnold to go to the hospital" Abel said slowly.

Just what Abel said left Arnold in shock. Even Arnold was seen directly holding his head because he felt pain. Abel who saw it immediately hugged Arnold then gently rubbed his head.

"Don't think of anything heavy first. Anyway Arnold must recover first so that later we can find Alan and mother together," whispered Abel to his sister.

Arnold was silent as he closed his eyes to neutralize the pain. Before long, Arnold exhaled a sigh of relief as the pain in his head slowly disappeared. Arnold just nodded his head understanding.

"Where is papa now? Answer honestly," asked Arnold who immediately opened his eyes.

"Papa went to jail for beating the perpetrators of Alan's gang-rap and beating you" Abel explained.

Arnold rubbed his face rough. When he woke up, his shadow would be welcomed by his family. But everything was even scattered. Arnold stroked the soft back of Abel who was still sobbing in his arms.

"Arnold will definitely get Alan and mom back home. We'll be together like we used to be" Arnold said.

Abel just nodded his head. Although there was little doubt in his heart if he could bring Alan back. Because his youngest brother was already hurt by Andre's attitude. Abel also did not dare to tell about Alan being slapped by Andre. He was afraid that Arnold's condition would worsen.

Abel took off his arms from Arnold and contacted the others. It only took a few minutes, Anara and Andre's parents were already in Arnold's room.

"You're finally conscious, too, Arnold. Geez, I miss you so much." exclaimed Anara who had just entered Arnold's room.

"Whisper... I love the rich birds, just came" said Abel quipped his twin.

"Let the atmosphere not be very tense, say. Oh yea... Bel, get greetings from aa Gema." said Anara conveyed a message from SD friend Abel first.

"Whose echo? Echoes or reverberations?" abel asked a little jokingly.

"Think what physics lesson yak," upset Anara with the joke of her twin.

"That's your close friend, who lives behind SD. If not wrong, who used to help Arnold find out the perpetrator of your beating." he explained.

"God... That echo. Whoa... How is he doing now, huh?" abel asked enthusiastically.

Because at the time of elementary school, Abel did not have too many close female friends. Most of those close to him are men. They are much more attentive and pleasant when invited to be friends.

"Why are you talking about guys? Don't talk about guys, let alone girlfriends," Arnold said, reprimanding the two.

"Yes, deck. His name is also young. Time can't be dating anyway? Grandma just like grandpa did not deny really," said Anara with her face.

Arnold looked hard at Anara. Anara's guts had already shrunkenly seen the sharp gaze of her sister. The sharp gaze of an eagle makes it very similar to his papa. Luckily Arnold's nature is loving and not temperamental like his papa.

"Here we gather because we want to welcome the conscious Arnold. I even talk about guys. That'll be discussed later," said Mama Anisa.

"Grandmother is not happy. Rich is never young," said Anara with a little insinuation.

Mama Anisa just kept quiet to hear the insinuations from her granddaughter. It was precisely Mama Anisa directly hugged her grandson tightly. The burden on his shoulders was slightly lost because now the grandson was conscious.

"Don't get sick anymore. We need you and hopefully you can help solve all the problems in our family. Make your father aware that his emotions should be in control" whispered Mama Anisa.

Arnold just nodded his head understanding. She understood what Mama Anisa felt. His grandmother must have thought of his children and grandchildren. Moreover, it looked surat fatigue within that old face.

"Grandma take it easy. Everything's gonna be fine. All we need is patience, do'a, and effort. Pray for your children and grandchildren yes, Grandma." said Arnold.

Now Anara and Abel also directly scattered in the arms of both. Papa Reza also hugged there. They must strengthen each other and try to repair what has been broken. They were sure that after this ordeal, surely the relationship would all grow tighter.

"Help Arnold to heal quickly. Your spirit and do'a will be Arnold's reinforcement" Arnold said.

They all nodded their heads confidently. While behind the door of the inpatient room, there is someone who peeps and perpetuates the moment of their togetherness. Arnold noticed it and smiled smirk knowing who it was.

"Hey stalker, get you out of your hiding place. Don't be a coward." cried Arnold suddenly.

They immediately let go of Arnold's embrace. They stared at the door of the room that opened a little. There's no one making all four confused.
