Melisa fell silent after hearing Via's explanation, ranging from the events that befell them to the incident where she had to be taken to the hospital by Father and Gibran.
"So last night Gibran saw that my sling Chandra got off the bus?"
Via nodded slowly.
"But she didn't talk about it," said Melisa.
"Maybe he doesn't want to run into trouble, Mel. Last night, Chandra took my DM anyway, just in your situation, but I haven't answered."
Melisa just nodded softly hearing Via's words.
"Yes, Mel, sorry yes yesterday I was able to open your HP to see the photos you took at the waterfall."
"How serious? The picture is there, isn't it?" ask Melisa curious.
"Nothing, Mell!"
Melisa and Via stared at each other, both still not believing the incident they experienced.
"From here, I want to see Fais as well as the other children. Actually they also want to come here earlier, but Aunt Tania is not ngizinin."
Melisa nodded in understanding. "It's okay, Vi. I understand, say hello to Fais as well as other friends!"
"Yes, Mel, you have a good rest, let me get well, don't even keep on thawing!!"
"Hahaha, yes, Viaa, yaaaaa----"
Via hugged Melisa before leaving the girl.
Less than two days in the hospital, Melisa was bored and asked to go home, after all she felt much better now, just a little weak.
"Where, Ma? Melisa can go home, right?"
"In an hour the doctor will check on Melisa's condition, if it's better, the doctor will allow Melisa to go home, okay. Have patience, dear."
Melisa nodded slowly then received the honey water that Mama offered.
Meanwhile, Gibran who was busy raging with all his work affairs was shocked by someone who suddenly just opened the door of his room.
"Lo why, Zi?" gibran asked as soon as he saw Rozi who was now standing before him with a face of panic, anxiety and worry.
"I'm sorry, Gibran, I'm going home, Nyokap was yesterday I, if Liana was taken to the hospital, I have to go there now!"
"Yes, Zi, please. I'm sorry I can't go there, later after all the work here is done, I'll definitely follow!"
"Okay, thank you Gibran!"
Gibran patted Rozi's shoulder softly, before the man finally disappeared as fast as lightning from his room.
Gibran again sat in his chair, smiling at first glance at how happy Rozi would feel when he saw the face of his baby, first child and first grandchild in their family. Gibran himself was really looking forward to the birth of the baby conceived by Liana in the hope that the baby will always bring happiness to Rozi and his small family.
Not to forget also Gibran prayed that God would facilitate the delivery process so that everything went smoothly, both for Liana and her baby.
About an hour later, Gibran's personal phone rang, there was an incoming call from Rozi.
"Callo, Zi? How's it? Everything's going well, right? Dolls or cars?" ask Gibran enthusiastically. However, there was no answer from Rozi other than a slow breath.
"She, as beautiful as her mother," the man said.
"Zi? How's Liana doing?"
Gibran fell silent after faintly hearing someone's sobs.
"He was such a good man, so good, God called him to rest in peace from the cruelty of life-"
Deg.
Gibran immediately distanced the phone, the man shook his head in disbelief. She did know enough about Liana's figure, even more so after the woman became Rozi's wife, Liana brought about many changes in Rozi's life and person, Gibran still did not expect that Liana was now gone, leaving Rozi and his little daughter who of course desperately needed his presence.
Regardless of anything else, Gibran left all the rest of his work to Gama and his secretary, left the company and headed immediately to the hospital to accompany Rozi.
Gibran was speechless after seeing Liana's pale face, but with a smile that seemed to hint that she was leaving with happiness and peace. Then the little girl who fell asleep in the baby box made Gibran's heart grimace when he imagined how the little girl had grown up without a mother!
Rozi was no longer able to hide his sadness, everything was released once Gibran came, the tears that he had previously endured were now countless more how many drops had fallen soaked his cheeks.
Gibran let Rozi let go of all the feelings he felt, tears did not always indicate weakness. Sometimes tears are medicine that lead to calm and sincerity.
For a while Gibran forgot about his own world, what he had in mind now was to help Rozi take care of Liana's return and final rest, so that Liana would be more peaceful and calm at God's side.
...****************...
At half-five in the afternoon, Mr. Felix came to the hospital to pick up Melisa, taking the girl home as he wished, of course after the Doctor checked and allowed Melisa to go home.
"Saw, what's wrong with you, honey? What else do you think?" tanya Tania because not one bit she saw a happy look on her daughter's face.
"No, Ma. Melisa suddenly miss school, miss playing with Via and Rere."
Tania actually does not fully believe in Melisa's answer, but how else, she can not force Melisa to say what is disturbing Melisa's true mind!
"Come, Gibran know if you want to go home?" asked Mr. Felix as he glanced at the back seat, where Melisa and his wife were sitting there.
"How can you tell me, Dad."
"Okay, if that's it."
Now Tania understands, this must have something to do with Gibran, right?!
...****************...
At nine pm, Gibran just arrived at the Rozi family residence, there were many people who helped take care of Liana's body, in order to be buried with respect.
"Eat first, yes, you never ate from just now-" persuaded one of Rozi's cousins, he also served dinner to Gibran, looks both men are so exhausted.
"Well, I have no taste!" rozi told Gibran.
"Zi--" Gibran stared fixedly at Rozi. "At least you still have a reason to keep your health, there is still a little princess who needs the figure of the King who will always guard and protect her!"
Gibran took a spoonful of rice and some side dishes for Rozi, at least there was an incoming energy intake.
"Lu eat too!" firmly Rozi. Gibran smiled faintly, then he also took the rice and side dishes for himself, but when he was about to enter the first bribe, Gibran immediately recalled Melisa, hastily the man reached into his pants pocket, and, taking mobile.
"Just now, Zi---" Gibran checked his WhatsApp, actually there were some incoming messages from Melisa. Without further ado, Gibran immediately apologized for not informing earlier and explained the current situation to Melisa through a voice note.
"I'm sorry, I'm so confident Lo" Rozi said after Gibran re-entered his phone.
"Zi, I've considered you more than a friend, even I feel I have a brother figure, so you don't feel my anxiety, this is my duty as a brother!" gibran.
"Thank you yeah--"
Rozi was unable to explain what kind of figure Gibran in his life, Rozi also felt the same, he felt like he had a brother who would always be there for him, he said, and made like having a family figure that he dreamed of because Mama Hesti also treated him well, like treating Gibran and Livi. Even now, it was Mama Hestilah who accompanied and took care of her little daughter in the hospital.
"Gue is lucky to be in the midst of people as good as you!" Inner Rozi.
