Micheal Emerson's Choice
Episode 96 - Bad News

For several hours Michael and the others waited for news from the Doctor with anxious expectation, although from Zenwa's condition they could guess what the Doctor would say, but they still hope there is a miracle, there is good news.

"The patient lost a lot of blood, the wound was wide apart from deep, very wide, like someone accidentally tearing it, let alone two tears in his stomach." Micheal and the others grew limp when they heard what the doctor told them, what bad news they never wanted.

"But my daughter's gonna be okay, isn't she, Doc?" Ummi Zainab asked with a trembling voice, her eyes already puffy as she continued to cry nonstop.

"We pray, Mom. Hopefully the patient can pass the critical period," replied the doctor who did not give the slightest peace of mind to Ummi Zainab.

"In Sha Allah Zenwa will be fine. She's a strong woman" said Mommy Firda as she rubbed her shoulders.

"But something like this had never happened before to Zenwaku, Ning Firda. What if Zenwa isn't okay? What if he goes like Arin?"

"Husshh, don't talk like that, Ma'am. Istighfar!" said Mommy Firda quickly and the cries of Umm Zainab broke again.

Michael, who had been sitting as a statue, stood up and approached his mother-in-law, hugging him, trying to calm him down even though he himself felt so broken, confused, afraid and anxious.

"Zenwa will be fine, Ummi," Micheal said in a voice barely audible to himself.

"Why did that man hurt Zenwa, Micheal? What is Zenwa? Zenwa was never evil to anyone, why?"

Micheal's tongue was confused, of course he could not answer his mother-in-law's question, because the answer was only one, because Zenwa had become part of the Emerson family.

.........

The day has turned night, the light has turned dark, Daddy Gabriel and the others are still trying to figure out who did it. But so far, all they have found is a knife covered in blood.

The search continued, and they found a leather jacket there. There were no clues in the jacket, but they still collected all the items that could have been evidence. The people who were there were also checked one by one, asked for details as much as possible but they still did not find a clue who did it.

.........

Micheal's feet stepped up and approached the wife, who was lying weakly on the hospital bed with medical devices attached to her body.

Micheal could not imagine the pain his wife was experiencing, especially when remembering the word doctor, the wound was not only deep but also wide and Zenwa was stabbed twice.

"Darling...." Michael whispered softly in the ear of his faithful wife, closing her eyes. "You can bear the pain for a second, yeah. It will heal." he continued, as if persuading Zenwa, seducing him as usual.

"I'm sorry, because of me, you have come to this," Micheal's eyes turned red, holding back tears that were about to spill. "But I beg you to get up, this is your husband's order, Zenwa!" michael's voice trembled, he took a breath and then kissed his wife's forehead.

"This is a husband's order, yes! You have to wake up tomorrow!"

.........

"Father, tomorrow Ummi can't go home...." Ummi Zainab took a deep breath, trying to toughen up with the situation she was experiencing and she also had to tell the news of dmasatz to her husband and also Oma Opa Zenwa.

"Why, Ummi? Does Ummi still want to be with Zenwa? it's okay, that kid must still miss Ummi." Umm Zainab smothered her mouth that almost sobbed to hear, tears flowing back on her cheeks.

"August ... Zenwa's accident, Abi."

"What accident?"
