Rayyan
Chapter 51. About Traveling

The sound of the footsteps of some teenagers running in the hospital corridor became one thing dominating there. The news of Ray being in a coma made them rush to come. Shan and Karen want to go straight into the ER. But it was stopped by some medics. He said doctors and some medics were trying to make their sister's condition better.

Karen and Shan rubbed their faces violently. "Om Arnold why can't I make it right, promise, huh?! Om says you'll take good care of Ray, why is it like this?!" shan shouted who was frustrated with the circumstances. Karen rubbed Shan's back which was still going up and down.

Arnold who was sitting in the waiting chair was shocked and silent by supporting his head. Off guard, he doesn't even know Sasha hurt his children. Yesterday Ren, now Ray. Plus Ray's state looks alarming.

Arnold then thought about the bad thing that might happen. The man bit his lips. "Ray can't die ... Ray, my son can't die .. he has to live .." said Arnold Iirih. While Rion who was still breathing sat his body beside Arnold. "Raina, please don't take Ray .. Give us a little time ..."

Karen then joins Rion and Arnold in the waiting chair. Until Shan's voice surprised them, "God, what about Ren? Where is ren?!"

...****************...

"What about Brother? Brother was bleeding ... Ren was afraid .." the great-grandson of the little boy sitting on his uncle's lap. Erik sighed and rubbed the little one's back. Ren looks frightened, calling Ray and his mother's name repeatedly.

"Ren take it easy. Brother must be okay, huh? Ren wants to eat something? Want to buy it?" Ren shook his head. Hiding the face in Erik's chest.

While someone else was holding his dizzy head. Qian, his head is plastered. Just a bruise but the pain is no joke. "Do you want to make milk?" tawar Qian who was still seen enduring the pain in her head.

Ren shook his head. "Bang, mending you rest, Ren let me take care. Is it really that sick?"

"Casual, just sick gini aja cave is still strong, really."

The two look at each other. "How's ray?" qian simply closed the room and then shook her head.

...****************...

"*You see this section?" ask the doctor while pointing at an image of the examination results in Ray's skull. Arnold nodded weakly looking at the stroke which was slightly different from the rest. "His veins broke here, there was heavy bleeding inside his head. And this ..." the doctor again pointed at the image with a different section. "Had Rayyan's brother ever had surgery?"

Arnold was weak. He could only be silent as the doctor began to explain. "The wound is back open and it doesn't allow us to perform the operation."

"Then, what should we do, Doctor?"

The man in white in front of Arnold just shook his head. Instantly Arnold's anger peaked to the crown of the head.

Brakk ...

"Do your duty as a doctor, whatever it costs me to give but heal my son!" arnold shouted while pounding the table.

"Father ... This is beyond our control, you see this ..." Arnold looked back at the screen. "A miracle Rayyan could survive until now. His old wounds re-opened, fracturing part of his skull."

Arnold was a weak, usually violent man who cried in front of the doctor who handled his son's condition.

"Then what can I do, Doctor? I can't even imagine what if my son went as far away as his mother ... no Raina .. don't take Rayyan ..."

Every time he says it*.

His conversation with the doctor a few minutes ago still haunts Arnold. He stared at the figure of his son lying weakly on the sickly bed. His head was bandaged, some parts of his hair had been cut to ease in bandaging his wounds.

But the doctor said it was in vain. They're just waiting for time.

Arnold sobbed, very hard. This was witnessed by Rion and Erik from outside the room. They couldn't just walk in, they couldn't watch Ray again feel this kind of pain. Even now the two are already glazed.

"Don't you?"

"Hmm, what?" Erik.

"Ray .. will be fine, right? Like before?"

"Come ..."

Arnold gasped as he felt Ray's finger movements. The fingers tried to gently rub the hand of the father.

Arnold raised his face. He found his son who had seen him cry. Ray looked at Arnold's face with a smile.

"God ... Why could my father cry like this?" Arnold's cries spilled. Hugging the back of his son's hand.

"You got everybody worried .. Your dad almost had a heart attack. Please, Son. Don't do it again, I can't."

Ray smiled weakly. He felt something strange. His head seemed to be heavy with pain that seemed to stab him from behind. I don't know why he was relieved.

"Listen, Dad." Ray caught the father's face. "In every meeting, there will be something called farewell. And maybe .. This is the time." Arnold shook his head. "Dad .. Listen to me. I still have Ren for you to take care of. Take good care of my sister and enough affection."

Arnold shook his head, again. "Dad knows, I'm so grateful to have a great father like you. A strong father who always protects his son. Thank ye. Now ... protect my sister. Don't let him feel what I feel .." Ray's words sounded broken.

Making Arnold tighten his grip on the child. "Dad .. let me go. Mother is waiting ahead."

"No Ray, my son can't go ..."

Ray smiled, "Let me kiss my father's hand one last time ..." Ray's hand was raised. Kiss Arnold's fingers slowly. Without strength. "My father was great ... lived well huh? This child of yours .. can no longer .. be by your side, sorry ..."

Arnold hugged his son's body which suddenly became stiff and heavy. Constant noise from the monitors near them. A straight line appeared there. Ray is gone. He already said goodbye to his father.

The people outside couldn't help but cry. Erik and Rion hugged each other, strengthening each other. Karen who saw him was silent, while Shan ran to Ren's room.

"What's wrong? Why run like that?" qian asked Shan.

"Ray ... Ray's gone. He left us all." So said Shan while staring blankly at the scene in front of him.

Qian dja Erik was silent. While the little boy in Erik's lap stared in wonder. "Died is what? Where did Ray die?" asked Ren innocently.

"He's gone" Qian said as she stroked Ren's head. "So, I've gone to a far place."

"Then, when will you be back?"

"Sister's not coming back, Ren. Brother went to an eternal place."

Ren just stared in confusion. Seeing the adults around her holding back tears while glazed over.
