AAI 71 - Hospital
'Forgive me, Agus. I don't want your wife to ruin my relationship with my two children. Therefore, I have no other choice but this.' Nesti said inwardly.
Shortly after Santi's departure, Agus also left himself alone. He immediately contacted his man to harm Santi. But he did not know, if the victim was not only Santi, but Melinda also dragged in the incident.
Tringg
The sound of Agus' cell phone disturbed him who was thinking about the fate of his marriage. He knew that this time his wife would not mess with his words. Moreover, he remembered the look of hatred that was emanated in Santi's eyes staring at him earlier.
'Forgive me, Santi. In fact, I cannot forget the woman who once occupied my heart, even though I know you are now the owner of my soul and body. I'm sorry, ' Agus muttered as he stared out his office window. Repeatedly his phone rang making Agus want to not have to lift the call.
Agus' forehead looked wrinkled as he looked at the incoming foreign number. He seemed to remember several digits of the number but nil.
"Hello?" Agus said upon receiving the call.
"Yes, right. This is my own," replied Agus when he heard his name spoken by someone from across there.
"WHAT? AN ACCIDENT? THEN HOW ARE THEY DOING?" Pekik Agus when getting news about the accident that befell his wife and daughter. It felt as if his world had stopped instantly along with his thumping heartbeat.
"Ba-good. I'll be there soon," after saying that, Agus immediately left his restaurant. His face look very tense along with his hasty footsteps. All the people and visitors who still crowded the restaurant looked astonished. It was the first time they had seen the nervous face of the restaurant owner.
"What's wrong with Agus?"
"It looks like something's not right,"
"Why am I so nervous?"
There were rumors from some restaurant waiters who accidentally saw the departure of Agus. They were wondering what was going on right now. Moreover, there has been a great quarrel before between Agus, Santi, and also Nesti.
"Already, already. Go back to your work, "one man interrupted some waiters who were still clustered while staring out the window of the restaurant.
"All right, Mr. Ramon." The waiters obeyed what the head chef of the restaurant, Ramon Toha, said. They disbanded and continued their work.
'It's my time to execute Miss Santi's orders, ' batik Ramon. Then the man walked towards Agus's office. After making sure no one saw him, Ramon immediately entered and closed the door of Agus' office.
The car driven by Agus drove fast. He did not pay attention even though a lot of highway users who honked at him because of the way Agus was reckless driving. The man did not even pay attention to his own life. All he had in mind was his wife and child.
"May they be okay. Hopefully," murmured Agus while shooting again the speed of his car. His focused eyes made himself so smooth that he reached the lobby of Serayu Farma hospital. After parking the car well, Agus immediately ran to the emergency unit in the front of the hospital.
His face was very tense as he headed towards the reception desk there. He saw some people greeting him and asked what Agus needed.
"Where was the accident patient? Two women and one of them is pregnant." Agus. One of the officers immediately checked his records.
"Are you ready, sir?" Ask.
"I'm the woman's father and husband."
"Right now they're still in the handling room, sir. Please wait there," said the officer, pointing to a row of chairs in front of the room not far from where he stood. With lethargy Agus nodded in understanding and followed the direction of the officer.
Agus waited with his uneasy feeling. A flashback of all his life's journeys with his wife and son made him unable to stop the pace of his tears. So much love, sacrifice, and loyalty of the wife to him. But instead he retaliated with a great betrayal and crime he had done.
There is no such thing as regret at the beginning, it will happen at the end. And this was when Agus could feel what regret meant. All this time his eyes were blinded by the mass love that still haunts him until now. He was not a stern man who could resist the seduction of other women like Nesti.
Agus does not have the soul of a leader, until he does not have the nature of a successful entrepreneur. Therefore, the wife who had always been by his side all this time. But Agus seems to close his eyes, he prefers selfish by holding two hands at once. Although he knew, a skipper could not control two ships at once or he would lose one or even both.
"I'm sorry, Ma. I'm sorry, son. I can't be a good husband or father to you guys" Agus muttered, subduing his body and crying as he pleased. His heart and soul felt the pain of having to see the two women who had accompanied him struggling inside. He could do nothing but pray to the Khaliq for their recovery.
"Excuse me, Mr Agus?" The heavy voice of a man sounded in Agus' ears. The man looked up, surprised to see two policemen coming towards him. Slowly Agus got up, he stared at the two men.
"What's up, sir?" Ask Agus.
"Sorry, Sir. We want to ask you something" said one of the brown-clad country people.
"Yes, please."
"So this is it, sir. Sorry in advance if we had to ask this when you were sad, but we could not do anything about it. We want to ask if Mr Agus has any enemies lately?" Ask the police suddenly. Agus' forehead was wrinkled, he did not expect to get such questions from the police.
"No, Sir. I never got involved with anyone. What's wrong, sir?" Ask Agus back to both. The policeman looked at each other then was one of him little nods made his friend understand.
"So this is it, sir. After we checked the road cctv and according to eyewitnesses who were at the scene, we get information if there is another car that peddled to hit the car bamper owned by the father's wife to make the fatal accident happen. And to prove it, we also have evidence. But we did not manage to find the owner of the mysterious car because there was no license plate.
Deg
Agus' heart seemed to be squeezed for a moment. He did not expect if Santi and Melinda were involved in a fatal accident. In Agus's mind, Santi and Melinda had a pure accident. Agus looked dumb, his mind blank suddenly after knowing the bitter reality about the two of them.
"No-no, Mr. cop. I have never had enemies nor offended anyone else." Squeak Agus with his eyes blank. The two policemen understood what Agus felt. That's why the two ended their interview session with the man.
"Em, then we'll excuse you, sir. We will do everything we can to fully investigate this incident" the police said. Agus only nodded lightly with tears flooding back his cheeks.
'Whoever harms my wife and children, I swear to you will repay them a thousand times what you did. Wait for my arrival, ' Agus said in his heart. He swore in the name of God to eliminate the man who had hurt his family. Not natural then Agus reached into his pocket and took his phone.
"Investigate this accident. Now, I want to hear the results in less than twenty hours. Understood?" After saying that, Agus closed the call connection directly. Both of his eyes were emitting rays of vengeful flames on the person who had touched his family.
Chequelek
The door of the room opens. Agus quickly wiped away his tear marks and as fast as lightning approached a doctor who came out of the room.
"How's my wife and son doing, doc?" Agus asked tremblingly. His mind was already raging at the thought of his family's current fate.
"Bu Santi's condition is much better, there are no serious injuries to him." Said the doctor. There was relief felt by Agus. The man glorified his words of gratitude to the Lord for granting his prayers.
"What about my son, Doc? What about my granddaughter?" Ask the doctor. But the doctor's face turned sad. Agus who saw it felt as if something hit his heart hard.
"I'm sorry, Mr .... "
