Friends Who Destroy
BC 53
"Come sir..... Sitting there, the doctor is taking action" said a nurse reprimanding Daren who was drooping in front of the ER door. With all his strength Daren brought himself up, to meet the waiting chair that was already available there. Trying to calm down.
Actually Daren is a weak man to deal with the sadness of his family, but because of the circumstances he must be strong, he is a man, an older brother, who should be able to be the pedestal of his younger sister.
His eyes were round, he remembered his sister. He grabbed the phone he still had in his pants pocket, typing a name in his phone contacts. Then push the green button there.
"Hallo brother......" Sapa Ghea after a few seconds Daren called.
There's no sound.
"Sister Daren????" Repeat Ghea again.
Sobs began to be heard on Ghea's phone, her heart immediately shook uncontrollably, she thought something was happening to her brother.
"Sister why brother....???" Ghea was starting to panic now, her eyes were starting to turn red.
"Sister.... Answer Ghea sister...!!!" ghea's voice instantly became raucous.
"Father Ghe...... Papa's accident" With a quivering voice Daren answered Ghea's question.
Like thousands of rocks, Ghea collapsed on the sofa of a hotel room. All the worries he had just thought of became a panic that suppressed his calm.
"A.... What did you just say??? Is that true??? You're not kidding, are you?" Ghea still considered her brother's words to be mere nonsense.
Not all this time Mr. Morgan just stay at home enjoying his days, he never went anywhere since Ghea officially replaced his position. Then how could the middle-aged man have an accident, where would he go? The question did not get an answer, only ringing in the brain of Ghea who was chaotic with all her panic.
"La..... Then how's papa doing now?" Ghea asked so panicked.
"Stop that..... I don't know, he's still in the ICU" Daren replied weakly.
"I'll be home as soon as possible, send me the hospital address!!" Ghea said for a moment, Then with a huff he ended his call unilaterally.
Ghea's tears just flowed, rushing to draw a line of water on her smooth white cheeks, for some reason the memories of the moment she lost their mother just floated in her mind. He still memorized how the pain of losing one of the people who became the focus of life even disappeared from his world. A tough woman who voluntarily struggles to support her two children.
Ghea was so lost direction back then.how not, someone who became the pillar of the handle for Ghea strong stood instead left him for eternity.
Even the tightness and pain in his chest was still painful until now, crushing the pain in Ghea's heart that began to tear with another sadness.
The woman who had just changed her pajamas got up, grabbed the phone she had just put down. Find the plane with the fastest flight schedule. Then book your tickets online. Once enough was felt, Ghea tidied up her things. Put all the clothes in his big suitcase. Rushing checkout from the magnificent hotel that he had been staying for a month.
While at the hospital Daren who looked riled up, walked to and fro waiting for the operation process that has not ended. An hour later, a doctor came out of the ICU room and opened the mask covering his mouth.
"With the families of the accident victims?" He said a little loudly, Daren who was standing in front of the doctor approached quickly.
While at the same time a patient's bed appears to be pushed from inside the ICU room out of there, a body stretched out on the bed with a green cloth lid.
Daren's eyes stared at the scene in front of him, he was confused to run after the nurse or stay in place to listen to the doctor's explanation.
"Sorry sir..... We tried our best, but because the condition of his wounds was too severe, very difficult to handle, also the wounds were too much so that the victim lost a lot of blood too quickly. We can't save one of the victims" explained the doctor, saying a slow, passionate plan, as if he had been trained to deliver the sad news.
Somehow Daren had to respond to the doctor's explanation, his body instantly suffocating. His mouth could only gap, not a single word. Heavy tears flowed from Daren's eyes that now look so cute. He grabbed a man's shoulder in a white coat in front of him.
"Aren't you kidding me, Doc???" daren asked so ambitiously to shake the doctor's body.
"No sir..... Have a look, sir, in the room over there!" The doctor appears to point to a room not too far from where Daren is standing.
With tears still pouring down Daren walked slowly closer to the room, trying to confirm the doctor's words.
When she saw Daren walking into the room, the nurse who had just pushed the bed into the room did not close the door. Apparently he understood when he saw the gesture and Daren's facial features that so describe his sadness.
Heavy steps continued to be taken into the room even though he stumbled, until in the end he stopped three steps from the lip of the door.
Just saw the green body cover, Daren's heart was getting crowded. The sight seemed to corner him in a room full of horrors that were so intimidating to Daren. He did not know where to run, the room was too small and crowded, making it difficult to breathe.
"Pa......" He stared at the stiffened body on the bed.
Slowly Daren approached himself towards the body lying before him, staring at the posture printed on the covering cloth.
The distance between the two was getting closer, the more tight Daren's chest felt, as if something was squeezing him firmly.
With trembling hands he grabbed the cloth, pulling it down slowly. Daren slightly closed his eyes, feeling unprepared to see something he might remember for the rest of his life. Only after the cloth was officially opened, revealing a face to the neck, Daren ventured to open his left eyelid.
But then Daren was a little stunned to find it was not the face he had thought of.
"Sir Martin....." Daren muttered looking at the man who had already stretched stiff before him.
A face with many wounds torn and also stitches here and there, as well as some bruises and abrasions filled the man's face, but Daren is still very familiar with the man he has known since he first came to Jakarta. The man who picked her up at the airport since her arrival two years ago in the big city.
