Eps 168 - The Path of Destiny
After the Doctor dealt with Gio's injuries, Gio immediately came out of his ward what was more after the Doctor made sure there were no internal injuries. Gio had to meet the Firda family who must have come by now.
Accompanied by Gerry, Gio looks for Firda's family and they see Firda's family running in the hospital hallway. When they saw Gio, they all immediately approached Gio in a hurry.
"Where's the fir, Gio?" ask Ummi Aisyah. His voice was still trembling, tears were already welling up in his eyes.
"He's... He's in care, Auntie" replied Gio nervously.
"Di... In nursing?" Ummi Aisyah asked in an almost inaudible voice.
"Where is Michael with Gabriel? They're okay, right?" ask Umm Aisyah again.
"Mh... They are also in care, Auntie" replied Gio who made Umm Aisyah feel confused and afraid "How to treat? Why is everything in the care, Gio?" his cry hysterically, even the people who passed by the mermen turned their heads and looked at Umm Aisyah in wonder. Gio himself was increasingly afraid to tell the truth, just knowing all of his treatment had made Ummi Aisyah so hysterical. What if Ummi Aisyah knew the true story?
"Gio, why silence?" ask Ummi Aisyah again in a louder voice "Why is everything in the care? What accident happened? They're all okay, aren't they, Gio?"
"Aisha, Istighfar, son. Calm down, dear.." cried Abi softly, Ummi Aisyah listened to what Abi said. He took a breath and said Istighfar so deeply.
After feeling calm, Gio taught the Firda family to sit down. They also come along.
Then, slowly and with a very heart Gio tells the real events, but Gabriel has not had time to tell Gio that Adrian is Edward. So Gio only told me that they were attacked by Gabriel's enemies.
"It is true, O Allah..." Ummi Aisyah held her chest that felt so tight, tears streaming down her cheeks, breath like choking in her throat.
"I'm sorry, Auntie.." said Gio exclaimed "It's all my fault, if they don't get out of the house to take me home, maybe this won't happen" he said regretfully, saying, it was seen from the look in his eyes that did look very sorry and hit, his voice was also so vibrating.
"This is the way, son.." said Grandpa as he patted Gio's shoulder "We're just praying right now"
While Umm Aisyah could only cry in the arms of her Mother, her husband, her daughter, her daughter-in-law, were all in a very appalling state. Ummi Aisyah could not imagine how they were at this moment, how sick they were at this moment.
"Where are the people who attacked my son, Gio?" ask Grandma later.
"They're all three dead, Grandma. But Adrian doesn't, he's still alive"
"He survived?" asked Ummi Aisyah and Gio nodded weakly.
"Alhamdulillah" said Ummi Aisyah arrived which made Gio and Gerry immediately frowned deeply. The two of them stared confusedly at Ummi Aisyah who said Alhamdulillah when criminals like Edward managed to survive.
"Gio..." Ummi Aisyah shuddered in her own horror the sadism that was so easy to pronounce by Gio "Tante did not want Aunt's daughter to be a murderer, Gio. Now that the man survived, that means God himself will judge him..."
"But the man is already very evil, Auntie" said Gio who was inexhaustible with his Ummi Firda's thoughts.
"Has this case been handled by the police?" asked Ummi Aisyah again and Gio nodded lazily then said with emphasis.
"If I'm in town, I won't let the police get close to my battle arena" Gio sighed as he clenched his powerful hand "The cop finds out that Adrian is still alive and the cop flees him to the hospital, completely stupid. Should the man be allowed to bleed to death in the middle of the rice field" Gio growled with vengeance, his eyes so sharp as if he wanted to exterminate the enemy this time as well.
"Gio, we live by the law, son.." continued Grandfather who saw Gio's young soul blazing with uncontrollable anger "That is with the law of God and the law of the land, we can't be vigilante..."
"But what state law in the form of prison confinement is worth the crime, Kek?" tanya Gio was full of emphasis.
"The state will make wise laws, Gio. But if the law is unwise, or unequal, then there is still a law from God waiting for it, son. God will repay one's evil or good even if evil and good are a speck of dust" said the grandfather who managed to make Gio speechless, he bowed and sighed deeply. For a long time he had no relationship with God, no thought at all, Gio judged himself no matter what happened to his life.
"Is God..." Gio shook with a quivering voice, he still bowed his head inside in "Is God going to save all of his, Cake? A firda? A mini? Michael? Farhan Om? They're all good people, and Micheal's even a holy boy"
"It's God, son. If God wants them to be okay, then they will be fine under any circumstances" said the Grandfather, who made Gio breathe a little. Because at least now he has hope and there is something he can do, which is pray.
....
Meanwhile, the doctor injects Gabriel with an anesthetic before taking him to the operating room. They clean Gabriel's wound, treat him and sew him up. And though unconscious, yet the look on Gabriel's face still showed his anxiety, Gabriel's forehead creased deeply. He is like a man under pressure.
After performing the minor surgery, they moved Gabriel to the usual outpatient room. And they immediately informed Gio and the others.
"My daughter-in-law's okay, isn't she, Doc?" tanya Ummi Aisyah was still in tears.
"God willing, Mom. Mr. Gabriel will be fine, no internal injuries or very serious injuries. Now we just have to wait for him to wake up" said the doctor.
"Alhamdulillah, O Allah" Grandpa, Grandma and Umm Aisha gave thanks. Now they're just waiting for news from the others. And the Doctor who handles Firda also gave good news, Firda and her womb are fine.
"But Ibu Firda still has to be hospitalized, ma'am. The condition of the mother and her fetus is very weak." said the Doctor "Don't let Mother Firda depressed or in shock, it can be dangerous for her womb"
"Inysa Allah, Doc" said Umm Aisyah and again the tears just soaked. He did not know, whether it was happy tears because the princess and her help are fine, or are tears sad because her husband and grandchildren are also Mini no news?
