IN-LAW
Hang on for me

Varga ended the meeting he led and returned to his room. Sitting leaning against a chair while grabbing the phone he stayed on the table for the meeting.

Jeez's tired. Open the phone and see there are many missed calls from the police center number.

Varga was startled and spontaneously stood up, What is this? Why did the police call me? Varga pressing call back.

There was a voice from there, Varga said his name and waited for the connection to be diverted.

"With Mr Varga?" A man from there.

"I'm alone,"

"Your family member was in an accident, the car he was driving was hit and crashed at the location of S Street."

"Why?"

"The victim is under the hospital and has been treated in the emergency unit. You can go there while we investigate the accident on site."

His heart rattled, he even forgot who the policeman meant. Varga was too scared and nervous, her hands were trembling calling Aralia.

Call answered by operator. Varga took his car keys, walked like a dazed man.

"Hey, you take me to the hospital" Varga said as he watched staff wait for the elevator doors to open.

"Sir Varga is okay?" The pale Varga shook his head. He was too scared and did not even have the strength to drive.

On the way Varga repeatedly called Aralia's number and always connected to the operator.

"You can go home in this car" Varga said after arriving at the hospital. He stepped with the strength he had into the information section.

"Aralia Sadah the victim of the accident that occurred at the location of S is still handled in the emergency department you can go there."

Varga ran, beating his heart more than his running. He was powerless to know that his wife was the one who suffered the harm.

Varga was at the door, ignoring people's gazes at her, she wiped away her unraveling tears. Keeping your hands on the wall makes the only wall its defense to be able to stand.

The door sounds open.

"The Guardian of Aralia Sadah?" The nurse standing behind the door called. Varga is approaching.

"How is my wife?" his voice was small as if it was stuck in the throat.

"Come in, the doctor will explain." Varga walks in and follows the nurse to the doctor's office in the unit.

"Dok, doctor how's my wife?" Varga asked if he had not seen his wife there.

The doctor asked him to sit down and calm down, and he complied.

"From the results of the patient's CT scan, his ribs were broken,"

"What?" Varga was surprised, his voice did not even sound his emotions were only visible from the face.

"Hard collisions resulted in that happening, but the patient was lucky to see from the results of the CT scan, the bone almost pierced the lungs." The doctor gave a CT scan and showed it to Varga.

His chest felt full, he exhaled a rough breath looking at the picture. Just an inch of that bone would have pierced Aralia's lungs. He should be grateful.

"How about the others?" Asked Varga after sighing heavily.

"The skull is safe, just a cut in the temple and the nose is swollen."

"What's done to that rib doctor?"

"From the picture the severity is a little risky. One rib is broken, but there is a dislocation or shift in the other rib. We're gonna have surgery to connect and restore the shifting bone's position." The doctor explained and mistreated Varga.

Varga came out of the room after agreeing and handed over treatment to the doctor. He sat on the waiting bench.

Nay! No more God. You can't just play with my life. Please don't again. You took Rena from me and you want to take her too. Did you do that on purpose? Varga looked down, waiting for Aralia to be moved to the operating room.

Varga called to tell me home.

"Mama ...," said Varga as a voice greeted from there.

"Why, Ga?"

"Ara was in an accident, I'm in the hospital now. Please pick up my in-laws and don't call me on the phone."

"Whatchu mean? Varga how's it going?"

"Newly will be moved operating room,"

"Oh," was so shocked that none of the words escaped Ele.

Varga turned off his phone. Hugged herself with a shadow of Aralia with her. Everything crossed his mind. Smile, sulk, spoiled, crying until the laughter was released in front of his eyes at that time.

Even this morning she drove me with beautiful eyes. Aralia dear I beg you to hold on for me.

"Have you taken a picture of the cctv around the location?" A man asked under him as he sipped coffee standing next to his member's desk.

"Already sir," while showing the video through his computer.

"Stop! Record the license plate of the car and find out the name of the owner." His orders when he saw a red car crashing in the back of the car that Aralia was using.

....

What is wrong God? Why that cruel?

....

"No, no, it wasn't me who did it. I just hit him slowly which was wrong why he could drive his car so fast." His hands were trembling and haunted by fear. Thinking of taking a step forward between going to the police station or running away. He was nervous about biting his nails. Until he decided on something of his life path.

Hospitals.

"With Mr Varga Sadah?" The man gasped, looking at the sweeper. His roar sank in fear.

"Yes, yes, I'm alone." Wake up from his seat.

"We're from the police investigating your family member's accident."

"My wife,"

"Yes, your wife. From the cctv footage taken it looks like the car in the back accidentally hit, seen from the speed of his car and immediately fled. Actually not too hard just your wife's car defected to get into another lane until hit by another car. Panicking and misplacing between the Gas and Brake pedals, it's still likely we'll have to wait for the patient to recover for detailed information." the police explained.

"What about the catch? Has it been found?"

"That's why we came here. This car plate do you know him?" Police handed him a piece of print paper. Varga took it and watched. Long time and he didn't know.

"No, I don't know him." He said to return the paper. The police seemed to be grinning.

"You didn't pick up when we called?"

"I have another meeting and my phone is left in the room."

"Are you in trouble with your wife?" Varga looked at the strapping man with a sharp look. What the fuck?

"My relationship is fine with my wife" he said with emphasis.

"This plate, the bank car you work for." Varga furrowed both eyebrows, snatching back the paper the policeman was holding. Watch closely and try to remember.

Only the color he remembered, maroon but for the plate Varga did not know. For what he remembers the license plate of an operational car that he likes to use if out of the office. The car plate is not necessarily remembered.

"Who's the driver?" ask Varga to look at the police.

The police scratched his temple, staring at the man. "We still take cctv in your office area."

"Alright, please find out about this guy." Varga pulls out her phone and gives Lisa her phone number. "He's my secretary" he said.

The policeman grinned, "I hope it's not a matter of romance Mr. Varga" he said, leaving Varga with a suspicious look.

"How's it going?" roland asked, Ele helped Nisa walk. The woman was too weak to drag her legs.

"Still in the operating room pah." Varga got up from her seat and approached Nisa then hugged her. The woman was crying in the arms of her daughter-in-law.

"Save my daughter Varga, she's all I have left. I can't lose her." Nisa is crying.

"Don't worry mama, Ara can definitely get through it." Getir felt saying that, Varga himself was almost helpless. But he had to pretend to be strong. Varga took Nisa to her seat.

"Darling, you have to be strong. Bring it in prayer to let Aralia be healthy again." said Ele stroked her son's shoulder.

Roland took a long breath. Stand up leaning against the wall.

Varga explains what happened to Aralia and invites a painful cry from Nisa. My poor daughter she said in her tears.

The doctor came out to bring word from the operating table.

All the families were silent, standing and surrounding the doctor.

"Operation succeeded. The patient is still in a coma due to being deliberately put to sleep to reduce pain in his chest." Doctor explained. "Eight hours he'll be awake you can wait while you rest." Added.

Everyone was grateful, and thanked the doctor.

The night is getting late, as the doctor said Aralia deliberately put to sleep for eight hours.

"Mama just go home, let Varga wait here. I'm worried about Bianca." said Varga as soon as she saw Ele withstanding the drowsiness.

"Yes, you're right, what about your in-laws?" Ele turned to look towards Nisa.

"You go home, Ara's still awake. Maybe tomorrow morning he'll wake up" Varga said. Ele nodded.

Ele takes Nisa home and is rejected.

"No, no. I'm gonna be right here. I'll wait for her to wake up." said Nisa.

"Ma, tomorrow comes after Aralia is transferred to the hospital room" Varga said, persuading Nisa.

"Varga, I'll be there when he wakes up." Nisa pleaded through her gaze.

Ele looked at Varga then nodded in agreement. Ele went with her husband Roland.

while elsewhere ...

After getting a cctv from the parking area of Varga's workplace. The investigator was stunned to see the figure of a woman riding in a car that hit Aralia.

"Alright, get him a warrant of detention" he ordered and worked straight away.

"Interesting, secretary with his wife. Especially if it's not a matter of romance." The policeman chuckled.
