I'm Just a Figurant
[POV Alex] Ch 106 - Which Dream Became Real?

I got out of the meeting room and looked for a privacy spot to pick up the call.

"Yes Ma? What's up?"

"Alex, it's Papa. You go home immediately. With your brother."

"Where's Pa going? To Jakarta or to J*****? I'm in Surabaya right now Pa. There are still some branches I'm going to visit,"

"Go back to Jakarta immediately. We'll be there soon too. With your brother."

"Why Pa? What happened to Aaron? Why should I go with him?"

"Your brother's in an accident. His information is still critical. Your mom still fainted. As soon as your mother realizes, we'll be there soon. Please accompany him immediately." The call was closed, leaving Me still standing dumbfounded, trying to examine the information I had just obtained.

The shadow of the strange dream came back. In the dream Diana said, that 'he' no longer exists. Diana didn't want to live anymore because 'she' was gone. What does 'he' mean is Aaron?!

My hair is goosebumps. I am haunted by fear. Although I and Aaron used to have problems, they're done. Our relationship is fine, like the relationship of a sister in general.

Imagining something happening to Aaron really makes me nervous and scared. Especially if you imagine Aaron died like in that dream. I'm really not willing. I don't want my only brother to just leave. I have to go back to Jakarta soon!!

"Winda, end the meeting. I'm waiting in the car. We're back in Jakarta now." I hung up and went downstairs. Then I waited in the car. Five minutes later, Winda joined me.

"Find the fastest flight. We're going back to the hotel, packing stuff and going straight to the airport."

"Good Sir." Without asking much, Winda immediately obeyed my orders.

Arriving at the hotel, I immediately packed my things. I put all my things in a hurry, so chased by time. Aaron's mind was in critical condition raging in my head. I hope nothing bad happens to him.

Not until ten minutes later, I've been down to the lobby. I saw Winda was there, too.

"Is the car ready?"

"Already Sir. Let's Mr." Winda directed me to one of the pickup cars and we headed to the airport.

My mind was so filled with Aaron that I forgot an important fact. I haven't seen Khansa. I haven't clarified our relationship. That fact surprised me.

"Sir, turn around."

"Where are you, sir?"

"There's something I need to finish,"

"But thirty minutes from the plane we're taking off sir. If we turn around now, we'll be late. We have to wait another three hours for the next plane. Is it okay, sir?"

I was silent to the explanation of Winda. Considering which things I should prioritize. Thinking about Aaron's critical condition and no family to accompany him, or Khansa might just deny me. In the end I chose Aaron, because I judged his condition more urgent.

"Continue to the airport."

"Good Sir."

The pickup car provided by the airline took us directly to the departure lounge. Willa handed me some documents. Moments later we received our boarding pass without waiting in line to check in. Only need to wait for ten minutes when the information service announced the plane will be boarding soon. We'll get on the plane soon. I sat by the window.

"Do I need to change seats? Maybe you're uncomfortable sitting by the window?" ask Winda.

This time I won't repeat the same thing again. I'm not gonna let Khansa go. Despite having to thicken my face because Khansa would reject me, I still have to have it, because the events of that night have given me rights to it.

Wait for me baby, I'll definitely come back to you.

Once I arrived in Jakarta, I immediately contacted Diana. But many times contacted, the woman did not pick up her call. I called my parents' number again, but it was out of reach. Maybe my parents are on their way to Jakarta.

Not desperate, I called Diana back. I don't know who to call. After a few dozen calls, someone finally picked up my phone.

"Hello, I'm Lusi's assistant Princess D. At the moment the artist we can't accept..."

"I'm Alex, Diana's friend."

"I'm sorry?"

"Where's my brother? Taken where is she?!"

"Sorry?"

"I'm Alex! Aaron's sister, Diana's fiancee! I heard my brother had an accident. Where is she now?!" I started to get emotional. That woman really didn't help.

"Oh-oh, sorry, Mr. Aaron is in the operating room. Thank goodness you called. We're at the National Hospital. Please come straight here, Diana is not in a good condition..." I immediately closed the call.

"Sir, you go back to the office. I have personal business to do." Without waiting for Winda's reply, I turned around and headed towards the car that had been waiting for me. "Go to the National Hospital."

"Good Sir."

The trip took almost half an hour. My mind started wandering everywhere. Aaron's on the operating table right now. Even doctors had surgery before Aaron's guardian arrived, which meant his condition was very serious. The worst thoughts came to me, freaking me out at the thought of it.

"Foolish brother, hang on!"

***

Arriving at the hospital, I saw a surprising sight. Right in front of the operating room, I saw Diana weeping wailing. He called out Aaron's name while banging on the operating room door. His manager tried to calm him down, but instead of becoming calmer, he turned more emotional.

"Aaron!! Aaron!! Don't leave me!! I was wrong!! I'm Sorry!! I'm Sorry!! Haaaa....!!" Diana hit the door again.

"Sshhhh, In... Be calm. He'll be fine. The doctor handled it. Sit down quietly. We'll wait until the operation is over..."

"How can I calm down?!! He's like that because of me!! Suppose we didn't fight, he wouldn't have had that accident!! It's all my fault!! My fault!! Haaaa..." Diana was crying again. There was no more pretty girl's face there. There was only a desperate face. His body was trembling with tears. Tears whirled, while incessant sobs, screams, and roars poured out of his mouth.

A few moments later I saw his body start to collapse. I immediately ran closer. Just before her body touched the hard floor of the hospital, I held her body with my hands. Diana had lost consciousness.
