The extinguished operating lights resuscitated their silence.
Some doctors came out with faces full of smiles.
"The operation succeeded."
They also breathed a sigh of relief while giving thanks.
Opa Airlangga had already let go of his embrace on the Council and was looking at her softly.
"Dear your daughter" she said before leaving
"Sure, Om," the Council replied really.
Now his eyes were training on Alexander who was beside him. Staring at old Alexander while patting his shoulders softly.
"Om take Rihana, yes. Take good care of him, "although he does not feel entitled to manage the life of his daughter who has been abandoned, the Council will still oversee the course of his daughter's happiness. At least her daughter deserves to live happily with the person she loves the most.
"Ready, Om," Alexander replied. The relief is doubled. Operation Zira was successful and Om Dewan gave him the confidence of keeping Rihana.
"Jaga Rihana for Om," he said again as he once again patted his best friend's son's shoulder.
Alexander was shocked to hear it. He knew, the word was very sincere out of the bottom of a father's heart.
"Yes, Om."
After hearing Alexander's reply, the Council went to approach his mother who was also approaching while hugging him.
Releasing the weight he had kept all this time. Her mother is still crying. While his papa was looking at him.

Rihana was still unconscious, but they were still faithfully waiting for him.
The girl has been transferred to a super VIP treatment room.
"Drink," Cakra said as he held out a cardboard glass filled with hot coffee.
"Thank you," replied the Council while accepting it. He somewhat shifted his seat as Cakra took his place beside him.
"Where do you know your son Rihana? I don't think you've done a DNA test"
The board took back its pppy.
"I went to the cubicle. See her picture with Dilara. I've long been curious about the little frame on his desk. I should have seen it from the beginning" he said regretfully.
"You are so sure of your daughter Rihana. Don't want to do a dna test?" decih Cakra mocked how pe de his man was.
He and his family though sure, but still need certainty by doing a test dna on Rihana.
The board shook its head.
"For what. He has the same blood type as me. Actually papa had said the girl looked like me, but I didn't care. And the photo is enough to explain everything" explained the Board at length.
And again his heart was like it had been stuck with Rihana since the first time he saw her. It would be difficult to explain it with the word Cakra.
Cakra did not say, he again sipped his hot coffee. His heart was slightly slapped hearing it.
Not that they don't believe Rihana's sister's daughter. But more to be sure, because too many young girls claim to be Dilara's daughter.
"I actually want to hit you. But never mind, your father has already represented it," Cakra said with a slanted smile.
"I don't mind. I do deserve a blow from you guys" he said, looking at his coffee. Right now his feelings are far from being good. He felt a lot of suffering in his heart. Especially knowing Dilara is gone.
What caused the girl to die?
Seriously ill?
Unknowingly the Council exhaled heavily. He's pensive.
He missed that girl. Her shy gentle gaze glanced at him.
The board never forgot his smile and tears. There was also something romantic that happened to them that night.
They had tried to resist, but the medicine was too powerful an effect. Until now, friends of the Board no one knows if they are the victims of the damn drug.
"I'm sorry. I'll do it slowly" he said after the drug's effects were near their peak.
And the most beautiful moment that made him always remembered when the girl opened her eyes wide because of her strong jolt. Very beautiful eyes. And the sound of hissing full of honey.
He thought he would be able to repeat it again. But it turned out to be his first and last chance.
The board breathed again. He finished his coffee which was already half-living. His heart was empty from a real loss. The girl is gone forever.
Akbar and Wingky, not far from Cakra and Dewan, watched the Council's face closely, as well as holding their coffee cups.
"I couldn't bear to see it" said Winky.
Akbar did not answer. In his heart he felt the same.
"He looks very shaken. Just like us," he added.
Akbar was silent.
"The news is that his wife likes to go abroad, not caring about him and their daughter, Aurora," he said.
Akbar sipped his coffee again without responding to his Wingk's words. His youngest sister is always updated with sensitive viral news.
Wingky sipped his coffee again. No problem for him Akbar did not respond to him. But he knew that his second brother was listening to him.
Just look at it Akbar know if the current Board is very hit with the fact that their youngest brother is gone. Like them, who are powerless against destiny.
"Ma, I'll go home first, yeah. I'll take some necessities for here," said Puspa to his mother.
"Oh yes, dear. Let Ansel and Kiran come with you," said his mother, coding his two nephews who understood immediately.
Herdin stared as the three men passed by. His attention was more focused on Puspa who was a close friend of Rihana. They are cousins.
He knew how good the girl who always took Rihana to make Alexander feel useless as a girlfriend.
"He may too," usik Alexander who realized the gaze of his best friend.
Herdin smile. It's a little hard to move on from Aurora. He still needs time.
"Well, why are you putting me here?" ask Alexander again.
Herdin looked at the clock on his left wrist.
"In a few hours I have to go. My mom asked me to meet her at the hotel. Regularly discussing mergers," Herdin told me.
"Ooo," Alexander's smile understood. Herdin's family is indeed engaged in the hospitality business. The hotel is located inside and outside the country.
"You haven't called your mom and dad?" tanya Herdin reminded
"Oh yes." He already said he would meet with the Rihana family tonight on his mom and dad. Maybe they're waiting for news from him.
"Now your parents won't be able to resist anymore" Herdin's smile was full of meaning.
"Yes" said Alexander with a faint smile on his lips.
What yes, they will say if you know Rihana grandson of Opa Airlangga and daughter of Om Dewan.
Alexander hopes his parents don't have a heart attack.
Meanwhile Opa Iskandardinata stared awkwardly at her best friend. He feels very guilty.
"I'm really sorry" he said again. How many times has he spoken, but it never seemed to be able to relax his heart.
Meanwhile, Oma Mora's hand was still tightly grasped by Oma Mien. They were as hurt as the reality that had just been revealed.
"That's it. Now all we have to think about is the happiness of our grandchildren" said Opa Airlangga calmly, trying to dampen his hurt feelings.
"I will give my best to Rihana."
"Rihana just wants Alexander. So did Alexander," quickly Opa Airlangga replied.
Opa Iskandardinata let out a long sigh. He again felt guilty for being unfair to his other grandson, Aurora.
"I will support both" he promised confidently.
Aurora will find another soul mate. Rihana's happiness is now number one for him. He will devote all his affection to Rihana from this moment on. His grandson who had not intentionally abandoned him.
Opa Airlangga smiled satisfied to hear it. He would do anything for his grandson's happiness. Dilara's daughter.
Oma Mora and Oma Mien exchanged their faint smiles upon hearing their husband's chatter.
