Eps 181 - Edward's Introgation
"Darling.." called Gabriel as he ran after Firda who kept walking straight down the hospital hallway. While Firda deliberately pretended not to hear Gabriel because Firda's feelings are currently not okay.
"Firda, wait" cried Gabriel. But Firda did not stop until he heard Gabriel screaming in pain.
"A, Firda. My wounds.." cried Gabriel as he crouched down and held his stomach, Firda who saw her husband in pain immediately approached her anxiously.
"Bang, are you okay?" firda asked worriedly, while Gabriel who was only pretending to be sick smiled. He immediately kissed Firda's cheek making Firda mendelik "What the hell, Bang. Just worry.." grumbled.
"You're the one who worries me, baby" said Gabriel as he stared right at the wife's two brown slices, the two standing up straight again "Why did you just walk away? Michael would love for you to visit him and take care of him"
"There's Mommy in there, Bang" said Firda and he stepped back. His heart was claustrophobic considering what Micheal said earlier, but Firda could not what because he understood, every child always wanted his parents to always be with them.
"But Michael is also very dear to you, dear." said Gabriel while aligning his steps with Firda's small and slow steps.
"Hem.." Answer Firda lazily. Gabriel immediately stepped in front of Firda and blocked his steps.
"What's wrong? You don't like Angeline being here?" asked Gabriel and he looked back right in the eyes of the wife, Firda tried to avoid Gabriel's gaze but Gabriel immediately cupped Firda's cheek with both hands.
"Look into my eyes and answer my questions!" gabriel said, "Didn't you like Angeline here?" he repeated his question. Firda had already opened his mouth yet he did not know what to say. If Firda says he doesn't like it, then Firda doesn't have any rights to it because Angeline is here for her son. But if Firda answers like, then of course she is very lying, because Firda does not like if Angeline is around her husband.
"Indeed why should I not like it, Bang? He is here to look after his son" Firda replied, the women's general answer, if they do not know what to answer then they will ask.
"That's not the answer I want to hear" said Gabriel again, Firda tried to release the hand of Gabriel who was still cupping his chubby cheek but Gabriel did not want to let go of his hand.
"Room, peelingin. I want to accompany Ummi to look after Abi" Firda said.
"Jawab my question first, honey"
"I've been playing it"
"That's not the answer I want to hear, I asked once again, don't you like Angeline here?" asked Gabriel with emphasis.
"Bang, like it or not, it doesn't matter. He's here to look after Micheal"
"Your answer is too long, dear.." said Gabriel who still insisted on the answer "Like it or not?" ask Gabriel. Firda just sighed heavily, he lowered his head until he could stare at the sandals Gabriel was wearing.
"What makes you jealous of her, honey? You're my wife and I love you so much, and she's just my ex-wife" Gabriel said.
"But she's still the mother of your son, Bang. While Micheal always said he wanted to stay with Mommy and his Daddy." - Firda shrieked in a choked voice.
"That's Michael's wish, honey. It's not my wish" Gabriel insisted "I'll never stay with Angeline again, I'll just stay with you"
"How about Micheal? She wants her parents' relationship to be perfect, she wants to have a family like any other child"
"But we can't be like everyone else, honey. And it was like this that we were, separated at any moment" said Gabriel who made Firda only speechless, Gabriel stroked Firda's cheek gently and said "I may not be able to be with Mommy as Micheal's birthstone as Micheal would, but I can give Micheal another Mommy who would love and care about her, which is you" her words that make Firda smile haru. Seeing the smile re-emerging on the lips of the wife, Gabriel also smiled. Then he took Firda's hand and returned to his feet.
"You know.." said Gabriel, still stepping up, "You have no reason to be jealous of anyone, while everyone will always have a reason to be jealous of you, because you are a good woman, and everyone will always have a reason to be jealous of you, strong, patient" said Gabriel who made Firda again smile thinly.
"Don't over-complicate me, Bang. I'll grow my head and be arrogant"
..........
Meanwhile, the police who handle Gabriel's case go into Edward's ward. However he saw Edward still looked so weak, there was a Doctor also there who was examining him.
"How are things?" ask the cop.
"It's still very weak, and the heart rate is unstable" the doctor replied.
While Edward actually feels fine, although it is true that his heartbeat is still unstable. But Edward was used to being in this situation.
"Can he be interrogated?" the policeman asked while looking intimidatingly at Edward.
"It's best not to force it, sir. The patient only regained consciousness after a gunshot wound that almost hit his heart"
"It's still almost, meaning she'll be fine" the cop argued. He sat down beside Edward, who was still lying helpless.
"I'd like to ask you a few questions, Mr. Edward. But before that, let me explain first what happened. Mr. Gabriel is your biological son, and his family has assaulted you, and Mr. Gabriel says your motive is treasure. There's a lot of evidence that says it was an attack, the position of your car that was behind their car, the shot in Gabriel's car tire and the bullet was the same as the bullet in your gun and there was a car explosion that almost claimed the lives of three of Mr. Gabriel's family. And my question is, do you admit it was you?"
Edward was a little confused by this long police statement, because before his Gabriel never involved the police in any event that occurred.
