Black Pen On White Paper
Chapter 26 [Mysterious Man]

“sorry, I as his personal doctor have been very very very hard work in order to cure young lady. I called two of my friends who work in pharmaceuticals to make medicine to cure and repair Lia's heart, but it looks like we're just moving seawater using a spoon”.

“it's not true. You've worked so hard that Lia still survives to this point and can still play and eat together at the dinner table. I'm very grateful to you because Lia is still able to give a smile from her face. It was all thanks to you” replied Petra .

“but as I said just now, I can no longer hold back and keep Lia any longer.I only have one conclusion and can distort the condition of the heart Lia sec this”.

“what's the conclusion?” ask Petra back.

“make the young lady laugh for the end of her life. Time will not last long. His life will be pruned because of his illness from birth. An innocent girl who should always play with her friends and laugh with her grandchildren is unfulfilled. At least, we've all done a lifetime of regret, but regret will never get you right. It is better to avoid regret than not to do what” answered.

Hearing the man's words, Petra spontaneously stiffened at the place.His heartbeat was so pounding as if and his breath was so tight. Petra wanted to cry in that place, but she knew it would make things worse.

“please keep this secret from Lia papah.please keep this a secret and do not let papah Lia know if I know the condition of Lia's heart once again, please, I want to ask you for help, ' said Petra, bowing her head before her.

Instantly as Petra lowered her head, the man spontaneously stroked Petra's head and hair with his big hands. It felt like Petra had dreamed of being elus by her own papa, and at that time Petra felt that she was being elus by her late papa up there.

“you are already big yes, son Petra” said the man.

Not long after the man stroked Petra's head, the man then left her at that place.although he had left Petra, somehow elusan his hand still felt in his head.

His elusan hand was so smooth, from a large and strong hand, he randomized Petra's hair.Warm and large hands seemed to make it unable to stem the tears.

In the end, Petra sat next to the door of the house.The door was so big that he rested his shoulders there while squatting and bowing his head. Tears dripped incessantly, like rain, her tears unceasingly soaked the floor of the porch of the house.

“I love Lia, I love her. But he was no longer able to live long. I wanted to cry in my own room screaming at the end of the bed, but I knew it was useless. I guess, if I don't do anything, I'll be stuck in regret just like Ananda Petra Prakasa in the future.I don't want to be that me, I don't want to be, I want to be who I am without regrets” thought of him while letting tears drip down the floor of that porch.

Petra was still imagining about the hand rub from the man Lia's personal doctor.I don't know why, it was like he had felt a bolt from the man's hand. Petra did not have time to look at his face and did not have time to hold his palm, but at least he had obtained a head rub from the man.

In the end, in the middle of the sobs of petra, he was approached by himself from the future. Petra Charleston Prakasa had appeared before him while standing tall and carrying his handwritten letter.

As usual, he gave the letter with a sad face, guilt and regret. His eyes were red and swollen with hair that was so random. Petra received the letter without saying a word and let herself go from there.

When he opened the envelope and read the letter, in the letter it said “already 9 days you did not wake up. Your body must be weak right now. You did and experienced what I didn't and didn't experience before. I hope this is a happy ending for you. But in the happy ending, there will certainly be sacrifices on every journey. Go to your house right now and save your grandmother there.In your grandmother's room, look at the loom table that your grandmother has done her job well. Also, use your brain when going into the house. You'll remember everything. You have to remember what is important and what is not important to you. At least, you should use your brain to bring everything that is so important to you”

When Petra read the letter, she was a little scared and ambiguous about saying “save your grandmother”. Spontaneous Petra thought that her grandmother was in danger. His heart rate was too fast that he had trouble breathing. His mind was chaotic and could not think clearly.

“but I also have to do what is in the letter.I can't continue to sit and cry in this place” thought inwardly.

In the end, he stood up from the place. Petra rubbed her tears against her cheeks and stared intently towards the front, she slowly removed the adhesive infusion that was stuck to her hand and then slowly released the infusion manually.

He used the adhesive from the infusion as a cover for his infusion hole so that his blood does not come out splattered. After that Petra ran from that place towards the front gate to catch up with Lia's personal doctor motorbike.

When Petra was at his bike, breathless and head so dizzy, Petra said she wanted to ask him to drive her home.

“tholong sir, tholong me. akhu please tholong me. Uueeghhh...” he said with a breath ngos ngosan.

“why? Are you chasing a dog? Why did you take off the infusion” asked the man so worried and panicked.

“not so. Please take me as soon as possible to my house in Pianika, near Saxophone street. Please take me to my house immediately. This is precarious” Petra told the man.

“it's not too far for me. All right. Ride fast” he said.

“thank you so much” he replied while nodding his head.

In the end, Petra got on the man's motorcycle and let him go home quickly. Honestly, he did not know the location of Lia's house, so he did not know the direction of the way home.

Apparently, only 10 minutes away by motor speed 50KM/H, Petra and the man arrived in front of the house.

“thank you very much, pak” Petra said as she nodded her head.

“actually, what happened?” ask the man.

“ti-not what happened, sir. You better go to your call immediately, I am afraid because I, father so late to meet the call tak” said Petra.

“it's okay what” replied.

“again, I thank you very much for your help, said Petra again bowing my head.

“calm saj-“ he said stopped.

“why sir?” ask Petra.

“did you light a bonfire in your house so that the smoke came out of the chimney?” ask the man a little suspicious.

“I don't know at all” Petra replied while staring at her house sharply.

“i don't think it's just a campfire. The smoke started coming out of the living room window, and there was an orange-colored light from inside the house. I guess it's true not only is bonfire” he said starting to realize something.
