"Archi says that he married Agust because he was betrothed by Father. If I may know, where do you know Agust?" asked Ridwan with a probing look.
"He's my best friend's son. Bestest friend. Do you want to know where Agust came from?" ask me suspicious.
"Akh. I just want to know." replied Ridwan.
Dad nodded, "Is there anything else you want to ask?"
"There is no father. That'sallthatis. Thanks dad. I'm saying goodbye." Ridwan left after kissing his father's hand and greeting him.
I went back to Archi's room. His face showed sadness as he had to look at Archi. His heart was so broken that he had to find the reality of his daughter's condition that was getting worse.
Darkness is falling, night is coming. While Dad drove mom home, Agust stood guard with brother.
"Agust..friend brother buy coffee first yuk for a moment."
"But Brother, Archi!" sahut Agust objected.
"It's okay, Archi is sleeping. Come on." Agust and Brother went to the cafeteria on the ground floor of the hospital.
Just then a pair of feet wearing white sneakers with a little black stepped into the front door of Archi's room. Wearing a black longcoat and a black baseball cap. He slowly opened the door and entered the room. Near Archi's bed he opened a baseball cap that covered half of his face.
"Archi" called him to sit on the wooden chair next to the bed. "I'm sorry Archi. You feel I'm lying, but I don't mean anything bad. I just want to be close to you as Ridwan, not the grandson of Mr. Ludwig" Ridwan said.
Ting...
A notification of the incoming message read, Ridwan looked at the message and rushed out of the room.
After returning to the room, not long ago my sister returned home. From Archi sister's room headed to near the emergency exit.
"Thank you, brother, for helping me to meet Archi" said Ridwan.
"Yes, don't worry. I'm glad I could help you." replied Brother.
"Why don't you hate me like everyone else?" ask Ridwan.
"Because I feel the bad one is Jeremy. Not yourself. Why should I vent hatred against you too." said brother.
"Thank you, brother."
"Together"
Tomorrow, during a work break, Ridwan sits down with Susan and friends. They shut each other up. Susan who is usually the most chatty even seems to lose her words to be issued.
"Did Archi tell you anything? I'm just here to find out. After that if you want me to go, then I'll go."
"What do you want to hear? Even Archi didn't speak at all." Susan replied.
"If Mr. Ridwan wants to know about whether Archi told him about the fact that Mr. Ridwan is Jeremy's brother, yes we know that. But not Archi saying it but his family."
"We did not expect that Mr. Ridwan could hide such a big thing" Andini said.
"When Jeremy was going to harass Archi the first time, Mr. Ridwan didn't say anything."
"And it turns out that time you suddenly left because you wanted to see Jeremy, right?"
"I'm sorry I hid that from all of you. But you don't know why I hid it. I'm hiding it not for bad intentions. I just don't want people to know that I'm part of the Selim family. Because for me it's the worst thing in my life."
"I had to change my name to deny everything that was attached to my family."
"But you work in your family's subsidiary company."
"That's just because Archi works here. I'll go wherever Archi goes."
"Don't he sound the same as Jeremy who's so after Archi?" susan whispered to Andini.
"yes too. Looks like it's inherited from her family's genes." terka Andini.
"But Ridwan isn't as crazy as Jeremy."
"Hopefully."
Afternoon, after work.
"Hi Ridwan!" greet Irene as Ridwan approaches the counter table. "Having brought your scuffles home?" Irene Goda.
"No, brother. I'm in the hospital again. He has just been hit by a disaster." replied Ridwan with a grim face.
"Cruel? Sit down!" tell Irene to sit at the same table as Ridwan.
"What endowment?" ask Irene.
"Oh my goodness.Si Jeremy kidnapped people's daughters. Didn't expect him to go crazy like that." said Ridwan very surprised.
"Well, that's Jeremy. He's a fugitive now."
"You guys are the same. If you want something, you have to get it."
"Why equate me with Jeremy? I'm not as crazy as Jeremy."
"Excuse me," Vita serves some dishes and drinks to Ridwan.
"Thank you" replied Ridwan. And vita left.
"Yes, there's an equation between the two of you, no, the three of you. Lord Ludwig's grandson is always like that."
"By the way about Grandpa Ludwig's granddaughter. You'd be surprised if I said, my scourge husband, looks a lot like Brother Yoongi."
"really?" Irene scrunched her face. I wonder if he is thinking about the same person. "Who are Gebetan's names and her husband?"
"I'm Archi and her husband Agust."
"I guessed it." Irene retreated, leaning her back against the back of the chair.
"You mean."
"I've met Agust first compared to you. I also realized they were similar. And he works here too.
"really? Then why don't you tell me?" ridwan protest.
"For what? He's just similar."
"Are you sure they're not the same person?"
"I know them both more closely. Agust also works here so a little bit I know his nature. They are both very different. At first I was surprised they were similar, but after he worked here I knew they were two different people."
Ridwan was speechless, yet his face could not hide his look of doubt.
Irene laughed sillyly, "What do you expect? Did you know that Yoongi rose from his grave and lived again? That so?"
"Not really."
"Just like you, sometimes I also wish that Agust is Yoon-gi. But I always try to be rational." Irene's inner.
"I'll schedule my next consultation" said a Psychiatrist who came to visit Archi in the room.
"My message is like that. Keep Archi and her husband together in one room. Just separate the bed. This was to make Archi feel that Agust's husband was not a threat to her. When separated, it is feared that Archi is increasingly difficult to accept Agust. Her husband?" The doctor looked towards Agust and Dad.
"That's her husband!" show Mother to Agust.
"Patiently facing Archi huh. Maybe at first she will go berserk and difficult with the presence of her husband, but slowly as time goes by she will remember back to her husband."
"Did all the abuse victims suffer like Archi Dok?"
"The response of the post-trauma victim is different every person ma'am. There may be those who can be easy to accept and quick to get up and there are also those who are difficult to accept it. Not all is sure. But don't worry, when Archi's heart and mind can accept his condition, he will recover. It just takes time."
"All right then. Thanks to Doc!"
"Yes alike. I'll give you a consultation schedule, ma'am."
"Good Doc!" The doctor came out of the care room.
"Tonight I did not accompany you first, Agust. I have to take you home and then tomorrow I have to go back to work."
"Yes Dad, it's okay. I will take good care of Archi." said Agust.
Her night....
Archi was asleep. Agust faithfully accompanied Archi by his bedside. Sitting on a wooden chair while holding the fingers of Archi. It was only when Archi slept that Agust had the chance to get close to Archi.
"This archi must be heavy for you. If I could, I'd like to take your pain, let me endure it. I miss my Arch." Agust held Archi's cheek gently. And his hand held Archi's hand which was taped to his own cheek.
Tok.dok...
"Excuse me! Mr. Agust, there are several administrations to be completed in the administration room" the sister told the court.
"Oh.I went there." replied Agust then stood up from his seat.
He stepped out into the elevator. In front of Archi's room, a man with a black long coat, a dark blue baseball cap covering half his face, turned left right to ensure the surroundings were safe. He slowly opened the door of the room and headed towards Archi's bed.
