NOT A SUBSTITUTE LOVE
The Ending Flashback

"Where is Daddy going this morning and it's Sunday?"

Arka seemed to rush out of his room down the stairs until he reached the dining table where his son and wife had gathered.

"Yes daddy kayak people are visited by loan sharks only or do not-don't daddy a lot of debt huh out there?"

Arka patted her own eel hearing the words of her son who just spoke, just, why does he borrow money here and there if his business has mushroomed everywhere even sometimes once a month he did not have time to handle.

So what was the reason that made his son say he was being chased by loan sharks? Very creative thinking.

"Forgot if your daddy's this place is a successful entrepreneur at a young age so stop thinking too creatively and assume daddy has debts everywhere,"

Sometimes anxious with his brain child who is too smart but too stupid to interpret something like today.

Time yes already have wealth everywhere is still new business with one nickname, impossible is not it?.

Eating since long ago he had never dealt with containers why even now with businesses that have been everywhere new debt unless his business has problems but if it is still there is a brother who could help.

What Riska often says is that the exchange added the child is halal.

"So explain why daddy rushed like the ghost guy?"

Once the loan shark is now a ghost and then what are the ghost cousins or ghost in-laws, all the ghost families are collected and ask them to reunite.

"There is something you want daddy to say but daddy is expected to be patient and calm when you hear this news,"

Hearing Arka's words then they can be sure if this is not a good thing for an information to be heard.

I don't know why their hearts are beating so fast when they don't know what really happened.

But their hunch says this is not good news.

"Daddy wants to get married again?"

Riska who felt bad even melted the atmosphere by tempting the father because he was afraid to hear the actual news he was also curious.

"If mommy's allowed why not!"

Khira glared at her husband's words and flashed a sharp gaze as if dragging her chest through her back.

That gaze exceeded the sharpness of a newly sharpened sword.

"Smellest mom Don't take it seriously but if you're allowed to,"

Now not only glared, but the wife held a fruit knife and then stuck it into the apple with a single puncture until penetrating to the back.

'Why isn't my wife scary getting here?'

Arka to shudder horror at seeing his wife, even though he was only joking but his wife's response was very unexpected.

Under no circumstances could he possibly wish his beloved wife any reason and neither would he hurt the woman who had given birth to a pair of little angels who supplemented their household.

So why look for another if one alone is already with a complete package such as nasi padang.

"Seriously dad,"

Frightened Khira because her husband and son were joking when it was clear that the care of the worried face that emanated on Arka's face but now still had time to joke.

He felt it was not the right time.

"Oke-okay now daddy's serious, that's Oma Dea calling and saying opa Dio's in a hospital coma,"

Arka's remarks just succeeded in making his wife and child display a shocked expression mixed with sadness to hear the painful news in the morning like this.

Indeed, the state of Dio opa has begun to decline in recent months and this is the worst condition of the opa because until the coma in the hospital so it is certain that the condition of Dio opa is at its lowest point.

"When has dad?"

Riska asked with a trembling voice, her heart was just loud enough to hear her opening in the hospital even to the point of unconsciousness.

Because before the exam so Riska has been a week now Riska does not visit the opa Dio house because she prepares for the final exam.

Opa who had been pampering him with all his wishes that sometimes had to be obeyed even though it was difficult to get but for the sake of making Riska opa Dio do everything.

"Actually the opa has been hospitalized for several days and now the opa condition is increasingly critical and even comatose since last night,"

Arka's speech melted Riska's tears that had been creek since.

The girl was all sad because she did not think that one of her heroes was not okay.

"We're going to the hospital, huh dad?"

Raka takes her daddy to the hospital to see Dio's opa condition.

He was as sad as his sister but as a man he tried his hardest not to shed tears in front of his sister who had been crying since.

She must be strong and calm Riska because she knows how close her sister is to Dio's opa.

"Finish your breakfast we'll go to the hospital, first,"

Arka does not want her son to ignore health to get to the hospital quickly but she must be firm in the current condition.

"But dad,"

Resist Riska who wants to quickly go to the hospital.

"Spend your breakfast or do not have to go at all let you at home and daddy same mommy just go,"

Threaten Arka who was followed by her two children because she better hold back a little to spend breakfast than not to go at all.

If he was at home, Arka would not know where Dio's opa was being treated until they couldn't catch up.

Emang since then Arka did not tell where opa Dio was being treated now just saying coma in the hospital.

"Come on dad,"

They quickly finished breakfast and took Arka away right now.

They go out with the driver because Arka thinks he is also not calm and if he imposes driving his own car he is afraid of endangering his little family.

Instead of visiting patients instead he joined one of the patients in the hospital, it is not funny the intention of the heart to want to visit eh instead stay overnight.

Along the way to the hospital their minds were riled up and dissolved in each other's minds. But the faces of sadness appear once and cannot be hidden because they have not been as calm if they have not seen directly the condition of Dio opa.

They continue to recite prayers so that he is okay and immediately aware of his coma.

Although it is no secret if an elderly person is already very vulnerable to something disease or becomes a regular customer of the hospital to check health conditions.

Not long after their car had arrived in front of the hospital, they all got down and hurriedly headed for the pre-told opa Dio's room.

\=\=\=\=\=

They had all arrived in front of the care room of Dio opa.

There are already papa Abra and mama nafiza, papi Arga and mami Aira and oma Dea.

They joined there and can be seen the look of a face full of sadness emanated on each face, if it is like this it can be ascertained if Dio opa is not okay.

"Oma how's opa doing?"

Riska's lyrics spoke with a choked throat because since earlier had been holding back tears even her tears sometimes could not be stopped and just fell.

Unceasingly the beautiful girl recited prayers so that when until the hospital opa Dio was able to welcome him but all that was just wishful thinking because the time until everyone was moping.

"Please be patient and pray that soon opa will be aware,"

Om Dea hugged his youngest grandson and gently rubbed his trembling little back crying in his arms.

Everyone stared a little at Riska because indeed the youngest of their family was indeed very close to her opinion compared to the others even Riska was also very spoiled.

So this was the heaviest blow for the little girl because the place she was spoiled was in a helpless condition.

But that does not mean that the other grandchildren are not close to Dio opa, just that their youngest did take advantage of his last position to indulge in all family members or cousins.

"Opa should be aware of Oma, if opa is not aware who will treat Riris shopping,"

Canda Riska in the arms of the oma, with the aim of comforting all of them and it worked to make them laugh in the sadness felt.

What kind of thinking is even thinking of a treaty when it already has parents who are very rich and zero in the atm card alone is no longer serial because it is rarely used and more utilizing an opanya who never rejects her wishes.

"Yes later we ask for wages to wake up so that we can buy Riris batagor again,"

Oma Dea's reply that was no less strange made them all laugh at the chatter of oma and her granddaughter for joking at their sad situation and it became a separate entertainment for all of them.

But hearing that they could forget a little sadness and sharpen their hearing to hear the absurd chatter of the two of them.

"Batagor time the expensive Oma dikit dong Aqua cold glass,"

Until they all could not help but laugh again at Riska's reply.

Until the time is near the afternoon Raka and Riska are asked to go home by the parents even though they initially want to stay there but are not allowed because the place to rest is certainly not comfortable.

With a forced and heavy heart they both have to go home with their other cousins came earlier.

"What if we had dinner together?"

Invite Aby to his other cousins so as not to go straight home because of course when at home they are not necessarily eating because they prefer rest rather than filling the stomach.

And also he as the eldest grandson must ensure his younger siblings still maintain health when parents focus on keeping the opa.

"Riris isn't hungry bang,"

Reject Riska because they do not want to eat and just want to quickly go home to relax the body to rest.

"No one accepts rejection and let's eat first just come home,"

Aby took the hand of his pregnant wife.

They have been married for more than a year and only now believed to be entrusted a small angel in the womb of the wife.

"Forced basis ya gini,"

Even so they all followed what their oldest cousins said and they stopped by a restaurant they happened to pass by so as not to tire of finding a place to eat.

Next morning.

They all agreed to go to the hospital again.

But it is different from Riska because last night she told Rasya if his op was hospitalized and Rasya asked to leave together.

"We both pray that opa will be given health and pass the critical period,"

Rasya grasped his lover's hand while driving to calm Riska because since met earlier her lover's face seemed to show sadness.

"Riris is only afraid of Bang if the opa life is not long and opa has not seen one of her grandchildren get married because opah once said at least before the opa closed the age of the father can see that his grandson has found each one's happiness,"

Indeed, Dio opa once said that to Riska and now the girl even thought of the opa's desire had not materialized and without Riska realized when one of them was married and briefly he will also be a parent, Aby.

"It is not good to say that because our words are prayer, I hope that Riris will say enough that is fine,"

"The matter of that age is a divine secret and we do not know when we are picked up, the matter of death does not always come to parents and even young people even if it is their destiny to get there then we cannot refuse,''

Rasya did not like to hear Riska's words, as if he was desperate and resigned to fate even though in fact not all the wrong that he said.

Until they reach the hospital.

"Not hurry and wait a minute, brother,"

Rasya prevents Riska when she sees her lover walking in a hurry then she holds and invites to walk not slowly or not too fast.

As a result of the rush later there should be able to hit people or patients passing by.

"But Riris can't wait to meet my brother, opa,"

No doubt Riska reciprocates the middle grip of a secret that feels so pleasant for her and she really needs peace from someone and it turns out she can be directly from her lover.

His parents did not come home last night because they chose to stay at the hospital.

"But do not forget to be careful, do not need to rush with until because we will rush to harm yourself or others do not,"

Rasya's advice is reciprocated by Riska and she walks parallel to her lover.

He confirmed Rasya's words in his heart and was a little sorry that he was almost too late.

Up to the front of opa Dio's nursery, Riska was pecking at a spot a few meters away and her eyes were peeling one by one from their faces which looked even more miserable than yesterday and suddenly her heartbeat was racing and her mind started glaring everywhere.

\=\=\=\=\=

Riska slowly walked to where all her family members were gathered. His feet so heavy that he even held onto Rasya because it was not strong and needed a grip so that he did not collapse before arriving and knowing what exactly had happened.

"All is well, right? Opa okay?"

Riska spoke the lyrics to Rasya with her legs running slowly as Riska's interlocking hands focused her gaze on all of her family members whose faces had been shrouded by black clouds.

Even without being told it seems like Riska can already guess what exactly happened and that is not good news.

"Don't doctrine the mind with negative things dear because it's not necessarily what is in our minds that's the actual event,"

Recipes try to calm Riska even though she herself also feels the same as what Riska has in mind but she tries to keep her lover calm in this situation.

Like now Rasya needed his presence and as a place of observation and leaning for Riska in addition to his own family because they certainly need a strong backrest.

"Dad, man,"

Call Riska to Arka who is embracing the mommy with tears occasionally rubbed on the smooth cheeks.

"Here baby,"

Before letting go holding his hand Riska turned to Rasya and was replied by a nod by the man then Riska walked closer to his parents.

"Whatever happens believe me this is all a destiny that we must accept sincerely,"

Hearing Arka's words, Riska instead of calm even immediately cried when she did not know what had happened before she came to this hospital.

His chest felt squeezed firmly and his heart felt forced from its place until his breath was stuck in the throat.

"What really happened dad?"

But instead of answering Arka instead embraces her daughter's shoulder and is pulled into her arms.

Riska's cry broke out in her father's arms without being prevented at all.

"Opa was already conscious of his coma and he wanted to meet Riris he said,"

With tears still flowing, you see the father while commenting on the smile that tried to hide something from him.

"If opa had realized why daddy was sad, what kind of child daddy is this,"

Arka laughed a little at the words of the child because Riska's words comforted her a little.

She wants to give me tears that still flood her daughter's cheeks and watch Riska sitting next to her.

Rasya who stood not far from the three of them could only laugh softly at the words of his lover.

' Daughter Om Arka more and more exciting days, so can't wait to be married if it can be today too eh'.

Rasya felt ridiculous with his own thoughts and it was impossible to do what he had in mind.

"Oppa is conscious and she wants to meet her beautiful grandchildren,"

Riska nodded in understanding and then got up from her seat heading towards her other cousin who was already standing in front of the care room of Dio opa, preparing to go inside there.

Not too long later the three of them had already entered and closed the door with what but that was not the case however, they were thinking about what opa Dio wanted to convey to his granddaughter.

"About opa Mau discuss what ya by,"

Khira calls Arka using their beloved call. It can already be a coolant in the crater of the Arka's heart at this time.

Indeed, on certain conditions Khira did call her husband with a call of affection, so Arka felt they were still like a newlywed couple again.

"Whatever it is, Papi would want the best for his grandson,"

Arka believes, whatever you want to convey opa Dio is certainly in mind first.

Because all this time opa Dio is a father figure and also a good grandfather.

So it was impossible to let his granddaughter be given such an adverse right.

"But why mommy is hunching if what you want to convey is not a bad thing,"

Whether it's a premonition of a woman or a mother, but clearly the delivery of Dio opa is not a bad thing.

So he doesn't have to worry.

During this time his premonition was never wrong or deviated from his estimates. But the current one is a little shaky because given the condition of Dio opa which is still in a weak state.

Rasya made a sad seat next to Arka while waiting for her love to come out from there she talked to her future father-in-law.

But the man did not say much because they were all in a state of sadness so he only expressed his sorrow for what they felt at this time.

Half an hour passed by the door of the room opened again and displayed the three beautiful girls.

Indeed, the children of Papi Dio each have a pair of children so it can be ascertained three men and three women.

The three girls approached their parents who were sitting close to each other.

"What did your opa say?"

The others that I agreed to the question were thrown by Abra because they were so curious plus the look on their faces when their girls were still the same before entering earlier.

But instead of answering the three exchanged glances with puzzling expressions.

"It's not time for telepathy to be what opa says,"

It was impatient to wait for what their girl would say because it was just now but he realized he did not say his purpose asking when his granddaughter met him.

Such a desire raised a huge question mark on their respective heads.

"Whatever we say believe us we have thought carefully and there will be no name of regret or coercion in it,"

The son of Arga and Aira's partner opened his voice with words that made them even more confused.

"Can you not really have to turn the talk directly to the point you want the parents to die curious?"

Somehow now they become upset themselves because they do not directly convey what they discussed earlier instead invite convoluted first when directly it is better than provoking emotions.

"Yes Pi whatever we will convey then we have thought about it without any coercion from any party So we beg to accept what we have decided in the past,"

Parents are eager to throw their head against the hospital wall because it was made with a sprain with their own child.

They are like being invited to joke when it is not the time to mark something.

If they are happy at the moment then okay-okay but this is in the hospital so the conversation must be serious and the upset should not be conveyed. It is stored enough in the heart.

"Let's change the kids, please,"

Kesel Arga feels constantly being played by her daughter.

Her head felt almost broken because it was waiting for the results of their negotiations inside but it was like being played with now.
