Not a Curse

Not a Curse
7. Just an apology


"How's the Doctor doing??" Erland was still panicking because of the incident.


"Since last night, the patient has been like this three times. Suddenly the patient has heart failure, but with prompt treatment, the patient can still be saved"


Erland saw Viola who had returned to calm after earlier had seen a little seizure.


"That means what Doc??"


"If this continues, then I'm afraid the patient can't last much longer. Moreover, the patient also has not shown any signs of consciousness"


Erland grew increasingly limp at the doctor's explanation.


"Does her family know about this, Doc??"


"Here, his brother just came"


"All right, Doctor thank you"


Erland went back to Vio, no movement at all from him. Only his stomach is still moving slowly because most of his breathing is assisted by a device that plugs in his mouth.


It was unbelievable to see the woman he had even forgotten came before him to collect a promise to marry him.


The woman that Erland used to think of as just a spoiled snot girl. She has now become an independent and successful adult woman.


Erland did not refuse if Viola used to be a beautiful girl with a tall body and proportional body shape. But after seeing her yesterday, Viola grew even more beautiful with an aura of her maturity.


"Vio, I'm sorry. I didn't expect that you actually took my words seriously at that time. I admit I was wrong, even after that I completely forgot about you"


Erland remembers everything Viola's best friend told me last night.


"Have you had a hard time during these 10 years Vi?? You worked hard just to prove it to me, whereas I'm here to not care about you at all"


Erland touched Viola's hand, holding her blue fingernails due to the wound on her hand.


"It's not that I reneged on my promise to you Vi. But from the beginning I never intended to keep it. It was just a promise I made spontaneously to avoid you. Forgive Brother Vi"


Erland was surprised to see a tear flowing from the corner of Viola's eyes. With his thumb Erland wiped it gently.


"Can you hear what I said Vi?? You're angry to hear that, right?? After that, get up quickly. Maki I'm as you like, as long as you're not like this. I feel more guilty Vi. Maybe even a thousand words of apology can never make up for all your heartache, but that's all I can do right now"


"I go first, get up Viola, everyone's waiting for you"


Erland let go of Viola's hand before the handsome man left Viola alone in the quiet, cold room.


Unbeknownst to Erland, Endah follows Erland to the hospital. He accidentally did not come with Erland because he also did not want to disturb the time Erland met with Viola.


Only after seeing Erland come out of the Viola room did Endah rush in.


Just wearing a mask and headgear, Endah could not bear to not let out his tears. His friend who used to be with him every day, his friend who disappeared like in the swallow of the earth, has now returned. Yet must lie pitifully in this desolate room alone.


Endah berahan approached the woman who had long admired her beauty. Not much change from the face of Endah's friend, it's just that the facial lines are getting stern making the aira beauty more out. But all of that has now been covered by wounds on his face.


"Vio, why are you the same?? Why are you leaving without saying goodbye to me?? You never even sent me any news. I had thought that you had forgotten me" Isak Endah slowly.


"But if I know the reality like this, it turns out I'm the same evil lo Vi. As a friend, I never knew how you felt. I'm blind that you love my own brother. When you came to my house, you must have asked about Bang Erland, you often follow him anywhere. But I guess it's all because you consider Bang Erland like Bang Vino. I didn't expect Vi at all"


Endah lowered his head until his forehead rested on Viola's hand.


"If I had known from the beginning. I definitely support you with my brother Vi, I definitely help you. I'm sure it won't go far for that long. I'm sorry Vi, I don't think I deserve to be called a friend"


Endah continued to cry even without any response from Viola. Endah also did not care to be heard or not by Viola who obviously he wanted to apologize from his best friend.


"Wake up Vi, you must rise again. Prove to my brother that he is not worthy of you. Even though he's my own brother, I won't support him because his mistake is Vi. So you have to promise me that you have to wake up quickly. Don't sleep for long, I miss knowing"


Endah continued to be in the room until forced to be sent out by a nurse because the clock was up.


Had there been no ban at the hospital, Endah would have been there a little longer to accompany Viola inside.

Via Langung fainted upon hearing that fact. There is nothing more painful for a mother than to be left by her child.


Vino immediately took her Mommy to the IGD, because since Vio's accident, her Mammary health has continued to decline.


"Then what should I do Doctor??" Dito was almost desperate with Kedaan Vio.


"Continuously install the tool on Viola's body will actually torture him even more sir. In my opinion, talk to your family about it immediately"


"W-what Doctor?? So according to the Doctor, I should cut off my son's life so?? How could I possibly have a crush on my own son Doctor??" Dito looks furious with the decision of the Doctor who handles Viola.


"Sorry sir, I understand how you feel as a father, because I am also a Father. But medically Viola has been declared dead"


Dito cries in front of the Doctor who turns out to be Dito's High School friend. Devastated, his beloved daughter, his little daughter is now on the verge of death.


"I will wait for the decision of the family, because I think it was the best decision" the doctor left Dito in Viola's room.


"Oh yes one more sir" The doctor paused for a moment.


"Is there a Viola wish that has not been fulfilled yet?? I think making it happen is the best way to get it off" the doctor went back after telling Papa Dito his message.


A father kept staring at his beautiful daughter who was still asleep. Her pretty face did not show that she was betting on life and death, just like a sleeping princess who fell asleep pretty.

"How's your Mommy Vin doing??"


Papi Dito approached Vino and Beca who were sitting in front of the inpatient room.


"Mama is resting Pi, Mami's state is not okay. The doctor said, Mami is stressed, too many thoughts to have an impact on her heart"


Dito drowned, sitting next to Vino.


"How's Viola Om doing??" Beca was curious because she had to accompany Vino to bring Mami Via to the IGD.


With tears of pain, Dito told Vino and Beca everything.


"No Pi, Vino can't lose Vio this fast"


Beca had already covered her face with both hands, as Beca was no longer able to hold back her cries.


"The fire is also heavy Vin, but remember the word Doctor. We're gonna torture him even more with those tools"


The three men, none of whom shed no tears. Because Viola means so much to the three of them.


"What do you think Viola's greatest desire is?? We need to get it right away before it's off Vin's body"


Dito wiped his tears with a handkerchief that he always carried in his suit pocket.


"That's Vino's stupidity as a big brother Pi, Vino doesn't know anything about Vio. That brat is too smart to hide everything from us. Including his feelings for Erland"


Vino rubbed his face rough, accepting the fact that his sister was lying like that was still very difficult for Vino. Moreover, having to let Vio go forever, must be very heavy for Vino.


"I'm sorry, Om, it's not that I'm being disrespectful, but I think I know what Vio's greatest desire has been"


The woman with such shoulder-length hair made Father and the boy look at Beca questioningly.


"What'sthat?? Say Beca!!"


Vino had only met Beca a few times when she visited her sister in Korea. But Vino knew Beca was a pretty good woman to be by his sister's side.


"Married"
