I LOVEd YOU Since 18
Eps 33 (Post Operation)

"E.L...!!! I admit I was wrong, please forgive me...?" Ariel was sad.

"Stop saying that, it's always this time that you just say it, I'm tired of hearing it and I still don't know how you think about it...! You're so bad and so petty..!"

Elea wiped her tears and left Ariel. Elea then asks Aditya to wait for Danist, while she wants to calm herself down for a while. Because if he doesn't do it, maybe he'll make a fuss here. His heart was currently not good, sadness was thinking about Danist's state as well as his anger towards Ariel all wrestling into one in his brain. Elea really needs to calm it all down.

Aditya allows Elea to leave for a while and she will be on guard here. But Aditya also reminded Elea not to do things that could hurt herself. Elea then leaves Aditya and Ariel from the operation waiting room.

About 30 minutes Elea went from the front of the operating room and chose to sit alone in the green open space in the hospital to calm herself after a dispute with Ariel. Ariel really always makes trouble and never wants to realize his every mistake even though Danist is very fond of him. Ariel never wanted to understand that and was always selfish. Danist was willing to risk his life for Ariel and it would be cruel if Ariel still doubted Danist's kindness. This was why Elea was so angry with Ariel.

Cahya suddenly came, smiled and stepped closer to him and sat down next to his best friend.

"Everything will be fine El, Danist is a strong man, he'll go through it and open his eyes and smile at you saying that he loves you so much"

The words of Cahya, made Elea turn her head and immediately embrace Cahya. Elea could no longer hold back her tears, she cried in Cahya's arms, shedding all the sadness she had been holding back since. Elea reveals all her fears of something bad that will happen to Danist. Elea also recounts how Danist sacrificed herself just to save Ariel. He vented all the anger he had been holding back all this time to Ariel who never wanted to apologize or be kind to Danist even though Danist always hoped to be on good terms with Ariel.

"Am I wrong Ca? If I vented all my anger?" Elea looked at Cahya filled with sadness.

"If it makes you feel relieved it certainly will not be wrong El, but if then all that still does not change the way Ariel thinks? We can't do anything about it. All the ways we've tried to make her aware but she's kept the same attitude, even sometimes I feel that they're all just meaningless jokes to Ariel, she never appreciates someone's sacrifice" Cahya.

Elea sobbed again. "That's Ca, I'm so sorry why I didn't go with Danist looking for Gienka, and I just followed her wish to get me in the car, if only I had gone with him, I would have forbidden him from doing all that, because it would never have meant anything to Ariel, and this is what is happening now, Danist why don't you think about me and the kids before you do that???" Elea asked with a quivering voice and her tears spilled unwillingly to stop flowing down her delicate cheeks.

"W...! Danist is now at the crossroads between life and death, I don't know which one she'll choose, she'll choose life for me and the kids that are with her every day or she'll die for Ariel, the one who never thought of him as a human and he was always humbled by Ariel, why did Danist do all that Ca? Wh why?? Friddie still needs him, what if something bad happens to him??? I'm so scared Ca!!" Elea tightened her arms at Cahya and sobbed bitterly.

Elea is very frightened to think about the bad thing, plus to think about how the future of her son if without Danist. All that fear further suppressed the pain he felt at this moment.

Cahya cried and understood Elea's fear, then gently rubbed Elea's back and whispered to her friend.

"Danist will heal El, don't ever think of anything bad about him, did you forget how ruined I was when Adit's search was stopped, I gave up and lost hope but you were always by my side and told me that I should not give up and think badly because Adit would definitely come back to gather with all of us, and your words are true, we all have good news about him, it will also happen to Danist, he will be healed and will return to you and the children, rest assured El, God is always with us if we always pray to him, do you believe that, right??"

"Yes Ca...! I have to be sure that my husband will be okay"

Elea wiped the water back, nodded and then Cahya asked her to stand up, left the hospital garden and returned to the operating waiting room. Elea felt her burden slightly reduced after telling all to Cahya.

When she got there, Elea hugged her Mama-in-law with tears. Elea tried to calm her mother-in-law down and encouraged her to continue praying. While Ariel was still sitting in silence, her face looked extremely sad. Aditya and Randy looked at each other, yes since Ariel did not say anything, but it should be at a time like this Ariel apologized to her Mama Danist but it was not done by Ariel. Even when Mama Danist asked about what really happened, Aditya answered him but Aditya tried to organize his words so that there was no misunderstanding from Mama Danist. Aditya actually really hopes Ariel herself who explained and apologized but it turns out that hope did not happen.

★★★★★★

It's been 5 hours but the doctor hasn't been out of the operating room. Elea's parents have been here since. Elea sat down and lowered her head and did not stop praying. While Cahya still continues to communicate with people at home asking about the situation of Gienka and Friddie. Behind the busyness of Cahya at that time, it turns out Gienka suffered severe trauma after the incident that befell Danist. Where Gienka saw directly in front of his eyes when Danist was hit by the ruins of the wall. The boy was severely traumatized and did not want to be in the room. Gienka continued to cry and asked to leave from inside the house.

Maybe because it didn't want to make Elea and the others worry even more. Cahya, Aditya and Randy call child psychologists to help Gienka recover.

The operating room finally opened from the inside, the doctor came out with a nurse. Aditya, Randy and Cahya also rushed to him. Everyone stood looking at the doctor and inquired about Danist surgery.

.The operation has been done well, but everything is possible because Danist's condition is still critical. For more intensive care Danist must be in the ICU room and must be monitored closely and well, considering at any time the condition can go down. The collision was so hard that the internal wound was severe enough that some bones in his back and legs were also fractured. But more important is the part of his head that should be a top priority.

"If the critical period has passed, of course, the family must be ready to take good care of him because his condition takes a long time to recover as usual, we also still need a few more blood bags, he said, if anyone has the same blood type, we hope to do a donor soon, Mr. Danist is in the recovery room before being transferred to the ICU room, we'll excuse you!"

Elea hugged Mama again sadly, she still could not breathe a sigh of relief, because Danist's condition was still unstable and everything was possible. Ariel retreated her steps and was about to leave but Aditya held her back and asked her where she was going. Ariel replied that she would go again to donate her blood.

"You can't do it anymore Iel?? Your blood has been taken, and can not be repeated, there is a time lag to be able to do it again, I will contact Adri, she has the same blood type as Danist, he said, danist used to do that for Adri, then this time Adri also had to do the same thing" said Aditya.

"I beg you to stop worrying about my husband, we don't all need you here, so go, your presence here won't change anything, my husband still lies weak in there because of you, because of you, so better get out of here" This time Elea replied in a voice full of anger.

Everyone who heard Elea's words was shocked, especially Ariel. "But El, I have to make sure Danist's condition is okay, you can't kick me out, I have to take responsibility, he's my brother!" Ariel.

"Your sister??? You call him your brother? My husband has never had a sister like you, who even you always looked down on but this time you called him brother? Ciiich.... It was disgusting" Elea cupped her palms together and stared intently at Ariel.

"I beg you, get out of here, you don't need to be here, you better get out of here before my emotions get back up, go.....!!!" This time Elea yelled at Ariel with anger.

Ariel still begged Elea with a grieving face, but she ignored him and told him to leave. Not wanting to get hotter, Aditya and Randy hold onto Ariel's shoulder and invite her to leave. Ariel complies with Elea's wishes, and her tears break as Aditya and Randy lead her away from the operating room's hallway.
