Secret Denis
The Seventy One

A very different morning atmosphere. It was as if all happiness was poured into that magnificent house. The flowers seemed to be blooming incessantly and spreading their fragrance throughout the house.

The warm dining room. With the presence of one family member who has long disappeared. Now he is sitting where he should be.

Rania's smile made her face even more radiate the light of an aura of ageless beauty. She served her husband first. Then it turned to Denis who, although not smiling widely, but his eyes radiated the same happiness as Rania felt.

"Did you eat well all this time?" Ask while putting a bag of sandwiches on Denis' plate.

"Yes." Yeah."

Denis feeds his food under his mother's gaze.

Deheman Andres distracts Rania.

"Do you need anything?" Rania asked her husband.

"No. Just when does Denis eat if you keep talking to him?" Andres gave a sweet smile which was responded with a small jolt from his wife.

"Just tell me that you're jealous because I'm a little bit of a disregard for you." Rania rolled her eyes.

"Not at all, dear." Andres.

Rania got up from her seat. Swiping Denis' back while walking towards her husband's side. Cheek Andres at a glance.

"You two are just as important in my life. I want to continue serving you both my entire life. Don't ever have another goodbye, because it hurts so much." His eyes were softly staring at Denis.

"Hey..This morning don't be melancholic like that." Andres touched his wife's hand.

"You didn't have breakfast with us?" Ask Andres later.

"I want to keep looking at you guys." But his eyes were only looking at Denis.

"I'm not going anywhere. Mama can look at me every day." First sentence in the morning. Makes Rania smile.

"Please promise me you won't leave my mom again."

Denis raised his head.

"Good morning." Someone suddenly greeted everyone who was there. The three people at the table turned to the source of the sound.

Alex came with a smile on his face.

"sorry. But it was so strange there were no friends for breakfast. So I stopped by here."

"Alex, sit. We're just getting started." Rania waved her hand.

Without a doubt Alex pulled the seat next to Denis. A quick look at Denis's face from the side. But the girl ignored him at all. He just focused on his breakfast.

Rania takes the plate to Alex while asking what the man likes.

"Thank you." Alex said as Rania placed the plate with the same sandwich Denis had eaten.

"You're home alone?" Ask Alex Rani.

"Yes. Such is. During this time usually Denis who accompanies at home." Alex glanced at Denis. The girl still didn't say a word.

"Don't you still have a little brother?" Rania felt sorry for asking that question. If possible, he would like to retract that sentence.

"He is rarely home. He has his own place to live." Alex feels reluctant to actually discuss the Reno issue. She would instantly remember Tania who had betrayed her papa, with Bhishma of course.

Denis also seemed uncomfortable when Rania began to discuss it. His face swallowed with a lowered face.

"Oiya, Mr. Alex..Isn't it noon we have a meeting about our new project?" Andres turned the subject over to a conversation that Alex enthusiastically greeted. They then dissolve in the conversation between men in business affairs.

A ringing call came in on Rania's phone paused the conversation at the dinner table.

Rania answered the call reluctantly after seeing who called her.

"Hallo. Damian, what's wrong?" His eyes swept across the face of Denis sitting across from him.

"What's? When?" His voice sounds serious. Everyone's attention is focused on him. No exception Denis.

Rania sighed with a little weight.

"What's wrong?" Andres looked at his wife questioningly after Rania ended her phone call.

"Damian told me that mom was in the hospital."

Andres was silent for a moment. Find the right words to say to his wife. After what happened yesterday, everything became different again they felt towards Aryanti and Damian. It was as if they were in two different camps.

"Go to see your mother. After all, she's still your mother." Andres said softly in the end. It was impossible for him to provoke his wife not to see her own mother even though he personally did not like it. At the moment, Denis and Alex are there.

"I don't know. After what Icha did, I don't want to see you. I'm still very angry." Rania. Bite the sandwich slowly. It is undeniable that his heart is worried. He was very angry with Aryanti, his mother. But one side as a good child, he felt worried about the current state of his mother. Moreover, Damian said that his mother was unconscious.

"We're going to meet grandma together." Denis' voice surprised everyone. Rania raised her gaze quickly. Andres and Alex glared in disbelief. "I want to forgive grandma."

"Why? Is this weird?" Denis shared his gaze.

"Are you serious, honey?" Rania doesn't believe it.

"i'm serious. Let's go to the hospital. Someone told me that we should be able to forgive past mistakes if we want to be happy. I really want to be happy. I want to start my life well from now on."

"Dear." Rania's eyes are glazed. He got up and approached Denis. Hugged his daughter's body from behind.

"I'm sorry for the mother who always hurt you."

Denis closed his eyes. Impregnating the cold feeling that enveloped his heart.

****

The trip to the hospital does not take long. They had been in the hospital hallway where Damian and his wife were already there.

"How's mom doing?" Ask Rania as soon as they arrive.

"There has not been a change. I just spoke to the doctor." Damian without regard for Denis's whereabouts.

"What did the doctor say?"

"We need to get a kidney donor for the mother immediately." The corner of his eye glanced at Denis.

Denis stood leaning against the wall with both hands in his pants pocket. He was still cold to Damian and his wife because the two men were so indifferent to him.

Alex stands next to him following all the family drama despite Denis telling him to go to the office.

"If it's too late, we'll lose mom." Damian looked desperate.

Rania fell silent. She knew what her brother Damian was thinking.

"I'll give you my kidney." Everyone looked at the source of the voice. Denis looked at his mother steadily.

"Dennis?" For the second time this morning Denis surprised everyone. Alex widened his eyes to look at Denis.

"Don't talk carelessly. I'm gonna go find information about the kidney donor. I don't want you to do that." His fussing.

"Darling, what are you talking about? We still have another way to get a donor for grandma. Mama's not willing to give your kidney to grandma."

"If Denis wants to, why did you ban him? This is also for the recovery of the mother. Don't you want to see mom get back to being healthy?" Damian recited Rania's words.

"What do you mean, Damian? You still want to fight with me for this matter? Why don't you respect myself in the least as Icha's mother? Why don't you ever feel like Icha is part of our family?"

"It is precisely because he is part of our family that he should help this family. She should have sacrificed a little for her own grandmother's life. All this time our family has sacrificed a lot for his life."

"Damians!"

If you do not remember being in the hospital, it would be like Rania screamed at her brother.

Andres's hand on his shoulder resuscitated him. But his eyes hit Damian's face. His body slightly trembled holding in anger.

"What Damian said is true. I never did anything for this family. Now is the time." Denis said slowly.

"Mama won't let you do that."

A doctor and several nurses came to see the noise in front of the VVIP inpatient room.

"Please don't make a fuss here." The doctor tried to break up.

"We're just having a discussion, doctor. She's a potential kidney donor for Aryanti's mother." Damian pointed at Denis.

"Damians. Justjust please. We're not in discussion. But you're dragging my daughter into this." Rania emphasized her sentence. Staring at Damian who was clearly against him.

"Stop, Damian. Rania has been kind enough to come here but you have done it. Let's talk about this all right." Andres tried to mediate. His hand could not be separated from embracing Rania's body.

"Please don't make a fuss here. Please find somewhere else to talk." The doctor who reprimanded them is still there.

"You go find somewhere else to talk. Let me take care of Mom here." Kinanti, Damian's wife gave a proposal. She herself was fed up with the quarrels that always happened in her husband's extended family.

"We're wasting our time talking that there won't be a meeting point. It's better now that we go along with what Denis said. He himself will donate so there is nothing more to argue with." Damian is still with his opinion.

"You forgot that Icha is my son? Don't you have any children, Damian? Think about how your wife would feel in this position."

"It has. It's been. Don't fight here. Come Denis. Alex. We're getting out of here."

Andres pulled his wife's hand away from the place. Denis who is still sculpting is immediately pulled by Alex.

"wait. Where are you guys going? Rania! You're leaving mom?" Damian hurried to follow the footsteps of the people who had first abandoned him.
