In one bed of the ICU room, Indra is still lying with health conditions that are monitored closely. News about the condition of the company is getting confusing. Everything was like an uncontrollable whirlpool out of nowhere.
This time, Reva accompanied Indra for a few minutes because of the limited time allowed to visit patients. Indra still lies unconscious with regular breathing because it is assisted by a ventilator connected to a small hose in his mouth.
Seeing the condition of Indra that is so alarming, the hearts of children who do not feel the bitterness, including Reva. He clasped Indra's pale hand with a drip hose stuck to his back. Reva tried to smile while greeting Indra but in her heart there was only a cry that she always tried to endure that could break at any time.
“Pih…. How's papih? Does it hurt?” lirih Reva with a trembling voice. His eyes were already glazed over and a few more moments might shed a tear. “Pih, rere sama kak lea will fight for everything to return to how it was. And the papih must struggle to heal because the rere will give a great gift to the papih.” Continue Reva while touching Indra's palm to his flat stomach. “He is here pih, very strong and vibrant like papih. Hang on, for us..”.
Reva tried to smile at the end of his sentence but it felt like the tears could not be compromised. He was crying in front of Indra. For whatever sake, he is not ready if bad things happen to Indra. It was only a moment that he felt the family intact after passing through the many sharp pebbles and he did not want to lose everything.
Everything that Reva went through with Indra was so imprinted in Reva's memory. Aren't we really going to realize how much our affection is, when we see someone almost gone from our lives?
Again, Indra's pale face again made Reva stunned. He wiped his tears. This is not the time for Reva to be fixated and regret everything. He has to keep going and fix everything.
Out of the treatment room Indra Reva feeling more and more unbecoming. He put a visitor's shirt that covered his body and hung it on the hanger. Alea was already waiting her turn to meet Indra, the man they both loved. Reva simply touched Alea's shoulder and rushed off to calm herself down.

To refresh her mind and feelings, Reva went to the hospital cafeteria and bought drinks for herself and the family waiting for Indra. He remembered the husband who may be currently struggling to face problems that are no less big. Recalling it, made Reva stroke his chest riled up.
Patience, it doesn't feel like enough of that. Raka needs a lot of help and Reva can't do anything. Until now Reva still thinks, how strong he is until God gave him a trial that is so heavy at the same time. And it really should show it not just bemoaning his grief. Reva turned on her phone which featured Raka's face and herself as wallpaper. He pressed the number 1 as a shortcut call to contact Raka.
“Ya dear...” replied Raka on her first phone ring.
“Mas, what are you again?” ask Reva, wryly.
I heard Raka's breathing so heavy. “As usual baby, I'm talking about fery cooperation again. What are you again? How's papih?”
Reva raised her face, in order to hold back the pace of her tears. Raka's question made the corner of her heart warm up. Raka cares deeply about herself and the people around her even though she is in need of more attention.
“Flag still holds up. He is as strong as ever.” says Reva. “How were you at the mas office? Have you eaten?”
“Hem... Let me eat. Don't worry, everything will be fine.” Raka was still trying to calm Reva down in the midst of the confusion and impasse she felt.
“Iya, I know you are a great man again strong. Later after work, I wait at home yaa.. Don't go home too late.”.
“Ya dear..” is just that Raka's answer.
Reva ended her call. He sat on one of the benches in the cafeteria. He drank the cold drink in his hand. Then sighed deeply while hoping that his baldness was slightly reduced.
Reva turned towards the direction the voice came from. He immediately stood up when he saw someone who was nodding giving him respect.
“You? What are you doing here?” reva asked Arya who was now looking at him expressionlessly.
Arya walked over. “I also regret what happened to your father, miss.”, he said, nodding back.
Reva did not chimed, he could guess the purpose of the arrival of men who actually had nothing to do with him other than getting an order from his superiors. “Pak theo wants to talk to you, can I have a minute?”
Arya thrust her phone at Reva. For a moment Reva looked at the square object in Arya's hand, she was very reluctant even just to hear Theo's name. But he had no choice but to answer.
“Ya, I reva...” said Reva shortly after sticking the square object in his ear.
“Hay reva, how are you? Sorry I haven't been able to see indra. And sorry also because I was forced to send arya to meet you.” Said Theo who Reva believes he was smiling there.
After his return from Makassar, Theo continued to contact him. A lot of messages he sent and calls that Reva didn't answer. For that reason he blocked Theo number and turned off his phone long enough, besides he really wanted to calm himself.
“What you want, I don't have much time.” Sahut Reva with a lazy.
“Ooow... easy girl.. Don't you miss me? It's been 6 days 4 hours 9 minutes 32 seconds you didn't hear my voice right?” ask Theo who made Reva shudder in disgust.
“Speaking now or I will close it.” Reva warns.
“Wah, you tease more when angry like this, I love it.” Reveal Theo then followed by a soft laugh. “Reva dear, I offer you a deal, come here and this time I will make things better in a flash.” Theo took it seriously.
“Don't expect me to come!” gertak Reva's.
“Sstttt... Don't take decisions too quickly, dear.. I can give you a lot of time to think about it, but the longer you think about it, of course, you know the more consequences you have to take. Didn't you see those guys screaming on television?” theo's fishing line that made Reva turn her eyes to the television show that was displaying the commotion.
Yes, the workers are currently protesting in front of the Adiyaksa company. In fact, the word is fine that Raka said, not really happened. Reva clenched her hand tightly, vowing, she wanted to curse the man she was talking to.
Various writings they bring to voice their wishes and expectations. They shouted to call Raka's name. “Do not let our family starve.” Write one of the protesters caught on camera among other posts that make Reva's heart throb with pain.
If Reva can be selfish, she doesn't care about everything. He is willing to start everything from zero with Raka. He doesn't care if he has to lose everything as long as he can stay with Raka. But what about the lives of thousands of employees? They depend their lives by working in 2 big companies? They are innocent and have no right to bear the consequences of Theo's blatant actions dragging Reva into his circle of greed. And Theo knows right, this is Reva's weakness.
Reva bowed limp. Did he have no other choice this time?
