Don Gabriel Emerson lantern
Eps 169 - Be Strong 2
After Gabriel regained consciousness, the first thing he saw was his family-in-law praying beside him. Gabriel turned to his side and turned out that he was placed in the same nursing room with Firda who was still unconscious. As Gabriel's tears slip out of the corner of his eye, his firda, his beloved wife, his lantern, repeatedly almost dies because of him.
Gabriel tried to sit up and groaned as he felt pain in his stomach in the bandage, Gabriel took off the breathing apparatus attached to his mouth, he also pulled out an infusion needle stuck in the back of his left hand.
Gabriel lowered both of his legs which felt trembling, and this showed how weak he was at the moment. Gabriel had been hurt worse than this but Gabriel never felt weak.
Along with that, Grandpa, Grandma and her Ummi had already finished praying.
Gabriel's memory revolves around the events before his, he is reminded of his father-in-law. Gabriel immediately fell down and held the feet of Ummi Aisyah which made Ummi Aisyah so surprised.
"Gabriel.." cried Umm Aisyah immediately turned her head and held onto Gabriel's shoulders.
"Alhamdulillah, Son. You have realized.." exclaimed Ummi Aisyah who indeed felt very grateful because Gabriel finally realized as well. While Gabriel, hearing the mother-in-law's thanksgiving, made her heart tremble, her cries broke and she didn't care about it.
"I'm sorry, Ummi.." - Gabriel, "I'm sorry, because... Because. "his sense is so difficult to speak, whereas Gabriel just wants to apologize for causing great trouble and bloodshed in his wife's family
"Pig... Firda..." Gabriel really can't say a word. Ummi Aisyah understood what Gabriel was feeling, she could only cry and buy the son-in-law's hair.
"They will be fine, God willing" Umm Aisyah tried to strengthen her daughter-in-law and herself.
"Gabriel, don't do this, son." said the grandfather as Gabriel kept sobbing.
In the past, when Firda disappeared he was scared, confused, and feeling weak. But now, he felt really really scared, very weak, very confused. Because it's not just Firda that he's making trouble for, but his father-in-law, his son, Mini. Gabriel felt like he had failed to protect them.
"It's my fault, Cake.." - softened Gabriel with a brick "It's my fault..."
"Not when she blames herself, Gabriel.." continued the Grandmother gently "This is a trial from God, son. You must be strong, patient, sincere. Be assured, God will not give you trials that exceed your limits"
Gabriel wiped away his tears and tried to stop his sobs, Grandpa and Umm Aisyah also helped Gabriel return to his ward.
"Ummi's gonna call the doctor..." Ummi Aisyah.
"Tell me how, Ummi?" ask Gabriel then "Then Mickey and Mini?"
"The three of them are still in the operating room, Gabriel" said Umm Aisyah, hearing that Gabriel was increasingly feeling tight but now he held back his tears and tried to control his feelings.
"Gabriel stared to his side, where his wife was still blindfolded.
" Wake up, honey... " Gabriel cried out sadly in his heart "I'm afraid that if you keep sleeping like this, I'm really scared"
..........
Meanwhile, Angeline attempts to contact Gabriel but is unable to. Repeatedly he tried her but still could not, as Mother, he had a strong instinct, he had a strong inner bond with his son.
And at this moment, Angeline seemed to feel what her son was feeling.
It was late in the evening, soon night was coming, and usually every afternoon he would talk to Micheal on the phone. But now Angeline could not reach Gabriel at all. This day he had not heard his voice, had not seen his face through a video call.
"Angels..." Frank approached Angeline who was still in her study "It's late, why haven't you come home yet?" ask Frank.
"I can't reach Gabriel, I want to talk to my son..." Angeline said worriedly.
"Maybe they're busy, Angel.." exclaimed Frank "It's time we go home, come on.." invite Frank. Angeline pulls her bag and steps out of the room following Frank.
Arriving in the car, Angeline immediately asked her father's news to Frank.
"Frank, have you found Daddy?" ask Angeline.
"No" Frank replied annoyed that every day Angeline asked that, but the answer certainly made Angeline upset many times.
"Are you looking for him or not, Frank? You still care about our father?" exclaim it with a high tone.
"Of course I care, Angel..." Frank snapped at her.
"But you're not looking for it" Angeline replies and Frank can't answer because it's true, Frank is too scared to fight Edward.
"Why, Frank?" angeline asked looking at Frank so sharply.
"Listen, Angel.." - Frank says later before he runs his car "We don't worry about Daddy, he'll be fine. Once Edward has taken revenge on Gabriel and Firda, and once he has mastered all of Gabriel's possessions, he will let go of Daddy" Frank tries to appease his older brother. But Angeline feels Edward won't be this good at her, so any revenge on Gabriel won't solve the problem. That will be a new problem in life.
"We need to find out where Daddy is, Frank. I'm afraid Daddy is not doing well, or maybe being harmed" Angeline said, then full of anxiety.
..........
It was night, it was dark outside and Angeline was still in the same state. He was so worried about his son that he was currently pacing back and forth in his room and still trying to contact Gabriel, but the result was still the same.
And because she could not stand it anymore, Angeline also contacted the servant of the mansion Gabriel and asked Firda or his family's contact. At first my waiter did not want to give it without permission, but after Angeline explained her anxiety to Micheal, the end of her waiter gave the phone number of Mother Firda that Firda had given to the waiter. Because Firda knew his life was in danger at all times and he was afraid he could not tell his Ummi.
