ARROGANT CEO IN LOVE
Micky Go

Micky wiped the tears on Daren's cheek. She was not used to seeing her brother cry, especially just because she saw him sick while the person who should be more worthy of Daren crying was next to her, Nora.

"Please promise to come back!" daren told Micky, who was wearing surgery clothes and was ready to be taken by the doctor.

Micky smiled and nodded. "Please promise to be with Nora!"

"We'll always be together, the point is you focus on yourself. You have to fight. You understand?!" Nora cheers on Micky.

Micky nodded slowly. It was his father and mother's turn that gave him some messages. Nancy cried, while Krish just stared bitterly as if he did not want to let Micky go with the doctor to the operating room.

Nancy kissed the top of Micky's head without being able to say anything. Krish kisses the back of Micky's hand and smiles soothingly.

"I know you can," said the father, making Micky moved.

The doctor tells everyone that the surgery is about to begin and Micky must be taken immediately.

"You can do it!" daren said towards Micky who was swallowing saliva from nervousness. Two nurses grabbed her cage to prepare to be taken out of the room.

Micky stared at Nora, Daren, and his parents one by one. Then a clear spot trickled down at the end of his eyes. He didn't know if he would survive or not.

***

Time goes by very fast. Four hours ago Micky was taken to the hospital, until now there has been no sign of doctors going out. Krish and Nancy had left the place since then because they reasoned that the place would only make them more desperate.

Daren and Nora sat on the waiting bench. Daren doesn't talk or steal Nora's attention, she doesn't have time to do that while her mind is seized by Micky's circumstances.

Nora turned her head towards Daren, then looked at the watch in her hand. "You haven't had breakfast?" nora asked making daren somewhat turn her head. "We can go to the cafeteria if you want."

Daren did not answer. He first stared at the operating door which was still tightly closed and showed a red light indicating the operation was still ongoing. He had plenty of time to eat until the doctor came out of the room. The problem is, Daren is losing appetite. He was already impatient to hear the news that the operation was going smoothly.

"Daren, don't force yourself to fuel your health" Nora said.

Daren sighed. Although she was in a sad state and had no appetite, she finally agreed to appreciate Nora's persuasion.

Finally, the two went to the canteen on the seventh floor which was located quite far from the operating room. Nora is happy, Daren still cares about her health. She is completely insensitive Daren agrees just to appreciate her request.

***

Daren and Nora return to the front of the operating room. They only spent about half an hour because they could not wait to hear the results of Micky's surgery. The father and mother are also in the hospital waiting for results like Daren. They had a short conversation with a considerable distance from Daren and Nora.

After nearly six hours of waiting, finally the status on the doorstep signified that the operation had been completed. Daren got up from his seat, waiting for the iron door to slide open.

Daren's parents did the same. Their hearts were beating very fast, unable to hear what the doctor was going to say.

Finally the expected one came out too. Door sliding open. The doctor came out while removing the mask and hair cover. His expression was flat so Daren could not be sure clearly what was happening.

"Everything went well!" the doctor got a long breath from everyone. "We've done our best and Micky fought very hard for the success of this operation."

"Can we see him, Doctor?" daren asked impatiently.

The doctor hesitated. There was something that made him stare flat instead of smiling when this news was good news. "Sorry, Sir. Can you come with me for a minute?" The doctor spoke to Krish who was equally flat-spoken.

Krish and the doctor left the room to go to another room. No one was suspicious of them because the three people were impatient to see Micky's situation.

The atmosphere of the room is still dark. Operating lights and some tools are being tidied up by the nurse. Daren interrupts behind the chair to stare at Micky's face covered in an oxygen mask. His forehead was wrapped in bandages so that his face could barely be recognized.

Nora grabs Micky's very cold arm. He saw those two closed eyes. Looks pathetic.

Medical devices continued to sound, becoming the only sound that filled the void. DAren did not stop smiling because Micky will finally return to his normal life after the recovery period. The burden seemed to disappear just like that, he felt so relieved that he could not wait to invite Micky home and see his sister went to college as usual.

For nearly fifteen minutes, they stood in silence staring into Micky's closed eyes and listening to the medical instruments that kept ringing.

Micky's eyelids twitched. It made Daren jump instantly. He patted his mother's shoulder to tell her Micky's sign would be aware of it. Nora smiled in amazement.

The sound of the medical device next to Micky grew louder. Daren doesn't know what it means, but he believes it's a good sign.

Both of Micky's eyes opened perfectly. The light from inside looked bright as if he was not sick. Unfortunately, he could not talk or just show a smile because half of his face was covered in an oxygen mask. Only her hand remained in Nora's grasp, twitching to hold Nora very tightly.

Nora looked anxiously instead of being happy like Daren and her mother.

A while later, Krish came up with a flat expression. He just spoke to the doctor. That conversation made him look good. There was not the slightest smile on his face.

Both eyeballs Micky looked at one by one the people around him. His hand that was holding Nora tightened and the monitor sound grew louder.

"Rest!" daren. "The operation worked."

Micky moved his eyeballs again. Something's not right. He wanted to reveal something if he could do it. Unfortunately, he could say nothing but show anxiety through the glare of his eyes.

Micky shifted his eyeballs towards Nora, hoping that Nora would know the pain she was feeling right now.

Nora understood what Micky was saying through her eyes. Nora looked on pity to see Micky's tears falling. This was not the result of the operation Nora had expected.

Micky's hand is getting weaker and longer. The monitor sound that was originally dashed, now sounds louder. Daren's smile faded when he saw Micky's eyes closed. Nora had already cried first, let alone Nancy, she had been as much as in the arms of her husband.

"Micky!" greet Daren to make sure Micky is okay. "MICKY!" daren exclaimed as the monitor next to the gurney showed a straight line. The buzzing made Daren's cry break.

Micky's eyes had closed perfectly, his hands drooping. His whole blood stopped flowing.

"Micky!" isak Daren doesn't care if he's famous as cold and heartless.

Nora shut her mouth unexpectedly. Micky's gone.
