(Family) Bound
I loved you

Shaka stopped at the first hospital he saw. After the car stopped, Fabian brought out Anin's body with Justin's help. Some medics approached with a gurney. Fabian who was still panicking wanted to follow him into the action room but was prevented by one of the nurses.

Fabian sat in the waiting room with Justin and Shaka who had just finished administration. The man looked several times rubbing his face wet with tears. For a moment he looked at Justin sitting next to him, then leaned his back and head against the wall.

"You're lucky. At least I've felt a father's affection until I was 11. Your mother loves you very much too." Fabian said with a glaring look at the wall in front of him.

Justin and Shaka who heard Fabian turned towards him.

"From birth I didn't know who my father was. While my mom was just busy having fun with different guys every day. Dad's right. My mom is indeed a ja**ng." Fabian said in a choked voice.

"Every day I receive scorn from the people around me. At the time, I didn't understand why they hated me so much. Is that a bastard..?? What is pe**cur, why do they call my mom like that..?? And who's dad. Why is everyone asking..??" Fabian.

"I was so happy that one day my mother asked me to meet my father for the first time. Although it was awkward at first but Dad loved me and always protected me." Fabian smiled as he recounted the first day he met Anindya.

"I'm very happy. I don't care if people always scoff at me and my mom. And I became too greedy. I don't want you to share his affection. Every time you tell me about you and show me a picture of you taken secretly, I get scared. I'm afraid I love you more than I do." Slowly Fabian's tears flowed down.

"Dad rarely met me after meeting Soraya and marrying her. I used to think that because I loved Soraya more and when I told her that she was pregnant, I was more and more afraid that she would actually dump me. That's why I paid people to damage the car Soraya used to use. I drained all my savings and even took some of my mother's valuables to pay that person. I didn't expect you to be in Soraya's car either." Fabian said it was getting sobbing.

"After Soraya's death I thought I'd love me again, but it turned out that she was completely away from me. Dad didn't come to see me at all and forbid me from showing myself in front of him. And when I found out that you were still watching and protecting you from a distance, I hated you again. I feel like you're the main reason you don't love me anymore. I have spent almost my entire life hating you. And now I know why Dad left me. Not because I love Soraya or you more, but because I'm not her son." Fabian laughed softly as if laughing at himself.

"I never cared about the Wongsonegoro family's possessions or status. I forced you to sign the transitional documents because I thought dad would do anything to keep you from suffering. He'll come back with me if I stop bothering you. But look at it now. Looks like I'd rather die than watch you suffer and come back to me. I must look ridiculous, right..?? Men my age are usually busy chasing the love of a woman. Or even build a house. But I was busy chasing my father's love. I can get love from many women. They even happily threw themselves at me. I admit my face is not very handsome, but my money always charms them. As for my father's affection, I can't find it anywhere." Fabian.

"Although short, fond memories with my father always danced in my mind. Especially after my father left, there was not a single man that my mother brought to love me. They were busy beating me. Farah was the son of one of the men. Which she left with her mother after they separated. His fate is not much different from mine. But at least there's Vino who loves him." Fabian said back to monologue and then silent for a moment.

"I'm sorry." Justin turned back to Fabian with a surprised face to hear the man's apology.

"I shouldn't hate you for something you never even realized. The hatred that made us both hurt, and made me lose my father. Ii'm sorry. After confirming father's condition, I will turn myself in and make amends for all my mistakes. I am tired of living in endless hatred and waiting. Please take care of me." Fabian said with a face so resigned.

"I'm really mad at you. But I never hated you." Justin's Sahut. Fabian turned his head and looked at Justin in disbelief.

"My life has been exhausting enough. You know, with all that schedule. And as you said earlier. Hating is exhausting." Justin said casually as he spread his shoulders. Fabian just kept quiet and lowered his head.

"Sorry.." A nurse greeted them.

"Father can come with me for a moment to the Emergency Installation action room. I see your head is hurt." The nurse told Shaka.

Shaka stroked his head that was bandaged carelessly. He remembered that his head was hurt.

"Go, Ka. Your wounds need to be dealt with." Justin's Order.

"Can I borrow the phone..?? I need to call my family." Shaka asked the nurse.

"certainly, sir. Please." The nurse walked over and showed Shaka the direction.

"Justin..!!" Hendra's voice called.

Led by Anindhita and Leo, the man seemed to be trying to walk quickly with difficulty. Alex himself seemed to run a little after them.

"Where is Anindya..??!! Where's my son..??!!" Hendra asked with a trembling voice.

"Grandfather, calm down. oom Anin is being dealt with." Justin tried to calm Hendra down.

"You..!! Why are you doing this..??!! What's wrong with my son and granddaughter..??!! You're not even Anindya's child, why are you forcing her to acknowledge you as her child..!!" Hendra shouted with his index finger pointing towards Fabian. Hendra's breath gasped for holding back his emotions.

"You want my treasure..??!! Take everything..!! I don't give a shit..!! But leave my children and grandchildren..!! Don't bother them anymore..!!" Hendra cried while hitting his walking stick into Fabian's body.The man just silently received Hendra's anger.

"Dad, stop..!!" Anindhita is assisted by Justin and his two friends trying to stop Hendra who is rampaging.

"Please don't make a fuss..!! This is a hospital not a market..!!" Exclaimed one of the fierce-looking nurses who came with a security.

"Anindya's patient family..!!" Hendra will only answer when he hears someone say his son's name.

"I'm his father, Doc." Hendra told the female doctor who came out of the operating room.

The doctor looked surprised and silent for a moment when he saw Justin. The woman then blinked her eyes and slightly shook her head as if trying to wake herself up.

"Ehhmmm.. Patient condition is stable. Luckily the puncture wound was not deep and did not hit a vital organ. For the time being the patient is still unconscious and will soon be transferred to the inpatient room." The woman's doctor answered with a blushed face.

"Thank you, Doc." Justin replied ignoring the woman's doctor's face flushed red.

Justin was used to dealing with women with such a doctor-like reaction. Just look at him know, the doctor who handled the operation Anindya must recognize him as one of the members of Autumn River. It could even be that the doctor was one of his fans. Tomorrow there may be news of his whereabouts and the Wongsonegoro family at the hospital. Justin doesn't care.

Justin turned to Fabian who was sitting on the floor and crying. It seemed like she was relieved to hear Anindya's condition was fine. Justin slowly approached Fabian and crouched down beside the man. Justin patted Fabian's shoulder gently.

"Please wait here first. At least until Oom Anin realized. I think there's a lot you guys need to talk about. After that, it's up to you to do what." Justin said as he stood up and extended his hand to Fabian.

"Thank you." Fabian said while receiving a helping hand from Justin who helped him stand up.

Shortly after Anindya is transferred to Shaka's treatment room, Alex, and Leo leave the hospital. Fabian continued to sit beside Anindya's bed. She did not sleep last night because she waited for Anindya to wake up. Hendra who initially continued to drive Fabian finally gave up on seeing him stubbornly stick around to be next to Anindya.

Fabian's tired-looking face sparkled when he saw Anindya begin to open her eyes.

"Dad." Call Fabian while pressing the button on the head of the bed and then hold Anindya's face.

"Anne. You're conscious, son..??" Ask Hendra who walked over.

Anindhita and Justin also approached Anindya's bed which was seen trying to recognize her place. Anindya looked at Hendra, Anindhita, and Justin.

"Dad..?? Where am I..??" Tanya Anindya.

"At the hospital. This kid brought you here right away after stabbing you." Answer Hendra.

Anindya turned her head slowly towards Fabian and was silent for a moment. He kept staring at Fabian who kept his head down. A doctor and two nurses entered the room to check on Anindya's condition. Everyone, especially Fabian, heaved a sigh of relief as the doctor said that Anindya's condition was good and only needed time for recovery.

"Please leave us a moment. I need to talk to Fabi." Pinta Anindia's.

Fabian looked at Anindya with a surprised face when he heard the man calling her by the name he used to call her when he was a child. Anindhita and Justin nodded then took Hendra who was still not calm leaving Anindya alone with Fabian.

"I'm sorry." Anindya said after the door of her room closed.

"No. You don't have to apologize. You're correct. I have no right to call you father let alone demand your affection." Fabian said with a trembling voice.

"Please. Keep calling me dad." Pinta Anindia's. Fabian seemed fixated on hearing Anindya's request.

"Don't I tell you I love you. My ego is too high to admit it. I stayed away because I was disappointed that the child I already loved was not my biological child. And that affection got closed after I found out I wasn't perfect. I'm trying to accept the child in Soraya's womb. But it felt heavier, because I was so disappointed to have been betrayed by the woman I loved. That sounds evil. But I think I'd be more receptive if that kid was the result of**saan." Anindya chuckled with a pitiful face.

"With your mother, you know for sure that I never loved her and there was never any bond between us. I think I can accept you more than that kid. At least your mother didn't betray me." Anindya.

"But the anger and sadness of losing Soraya made me close my desire to see you. When your mother actually fulfilled my request to keep you away from me, I was greatly tormented. Because I can't see you at all. No one calls me Dad anymore. A call I missed so much. But again the ego held me back, and,. I asked you to leave, so there's no way I'm asking you to come back. At that time I kept hoping you would come to see me. But instead of seeing me, you hurt other people because you feel like I don't want you. And worse you keep trying to hurt Justin. I used to show you pictures of Justin and talk about him because I wanted you to know that you're not alone. You have a brother. And I want to, when Dita's problem is over. You will meet, love each other, and protect each other, like brothers. I'm against that dagger it's not because I love Justin more. But since I don't want the two children I expected to be brothers will hurt each other. I really love Justin. But I love you more, Fabi." Anindya said as she cried sobbing.

Fabian hit Anindya's body and cried sobbing in the man's arms.

"All my fault. I shouldn't have let my ego close my eyes. I should have stayed with you even though I knew you weren't my son. All these misunderstandings would not have happened if I had just obeyed my heart. I'm sorry, Fabi. I'm the one who's made you go astray and ruined your life and the people around you." Anindya tightened her embrace and sobbed. He did not care about the pain in his body due to that hug.

"No. no. Dad's not wrong. Dad's right. As a child I should have met my father and apologized. I should have come and told my dad that I love you. I'm sorry, father." Fabian said in between his tears.

"Don't hate Justin anymore. Although the blood flowing in your body is different, but he is your brother. I want you to love each other and take care of each other." Pinta Anindia's.

"No. I don't hate Justin anymore. I will love and take care of her as best I can." Fabian's fast.

"Thank you, son." Anindya said and hugged Fabian again.

"But I won't be able to be with dad for a long time. I have to give myself up and take responsibility for all my mistakes. I want to start all over again the right way." Fabian. Anindya nodded slowly.

"I'll always be with you, Fabi. I'll do whatever it takes and give you the best lawyer to reduce your sentence. Because I don't want to be apart any longer with my son. I've been away from you for 20 years." Sahut Anindya while holding tightly to the shoulder of Fabian who continued to look down beside him. Fabian could only nod because he was still immersed in his cries.
