"Hey.. are you sure I can't come?" Ray asked who had just stopped his car right in front of the hospital delivery.
"No.." asserted Nathalia while she nodded, the woman was busy picking up her bag and cell phone.
"You just go home" said Nathalia who had come out and bowed her body right in front of the car door looking at Ray.
"Tha. remember you're not a stranger, you're my sister, you're forever the princess of the Romanove family" Ray assured his sister
But the words made Nathalia careless, maybe today has counted dozens of times he listened to his adopted brother reassured him.
He was happy but it did not even clarify the distance between them.
"okay... Ray. Go home, take care of papa. She never sold me" Nathalia smiled slanted after she discussed all this with Ray
Nathalia's words made Ray a little embarrassed and rubbed his nape without itching. All this time he thought that Rich was evil because Rich always let Ray think for himself without any intention of defending himself.
Nathalia stepped her feet into this towering building. A large room with people who are busy with all their activities. Walk around to get in the elevator that just opened
Ting...
The sound of the elevator rang a sign that he had reached the floor on the way. He can't wait to meet Lauro. An amazing man who changed his life.
A faint smile controlled his thin lips. But when his hand opened the door knob. The room was empty, thus making Nathalia sigh. This is the difficulty of having a super busy husband.
Hmm actually not Lauro's fault, because Nathalia was looking for him right at work.
"You looking for doctor Lauro?" As someone asked Nathalia, the beautiful woman moved to see the nurse greeting her, closing the door.
"Yes"
"Doctor Lauro in the patient room of nonya darsha" explained the nurse
"Owh, he's checking up on the patient" whether it's a statement or a statement that only Nathalia herself knows.
"Not" replied the nurse was friendly, "lady darsha is not a patient of doctor Lauro. It was doctor Garry's patient because he had a serious injury to his head that put him in a coma for twelve years, he said, "the nurse had a sad smile to regret the poor patient's condition. since he has only worked for two years in this hospital it seems like Miss. Darsha relatives of doctor Lauro. Don't you know him?"
"Twelve years?" Tanya Nathalia who answered the nod from the nurse. Nathalia remembered the woman lying there.
"Owh I'll be there, thank you"
🏍🏍🏍🏍
Electrocardiograph sound is the only sound that resonates in this white dominated room. In addition to the roar of wind pendigin air and breath that sounds smooth.
Lauro could only look down at the thin hand in his grasp, a middle-aged woman complete with oxygen hoses and infusion hoses was abuzzing her body.
"I know you're hearing this, I'm sure you'll wake up soon, too." This is what Lauro always says other than 'apabar' and I 'love you'.
The woman who was left weak with severe brain damage and ended up in a coma is Lauro's only biggest regret. He did not even dare to drive his own car as proof of his mischief.
Lauro raised his hands free from the infusion, lightly tucked "get well and anger me as much as you can" and Lauro's eyes looked at the small photo on the nightstand next to the patient's bed.
"He already knows his identity, how do I explain it to him?" It was obvious uneasiness from Lauro's face, as if a true fear was creeping on his body.
"I'm a sinner who took your life, how can I be silent when he's confused?
"A. I'm afraid she'll leave me"
"If I hadn't run into you maybe he wouldn't have been through all this pain, maybe you'd still be happy now" Lauro said
"How can I explain it to her"
"I love you guys" Lauro said at last
Lauro got up from his seat, stroking the dry hair that had started to grow white, gently kissing the cold forehead.
"L.." Nathalia's voice shuddered withholding the newly created emotion. The reality that was displayed in front of the eyes made Nathalia start composing memory pieces that are sometimes presented in dreamland
The little girl in the park, the old man's divorce, the rain, the one who was adopted by the romanove twelve years ago, and this woman who had been lying dormant for twelve years. Are those all Nathalia's forgotten memories?
Then L...?
What is L and this woman's relationship?
Nathalia gasped, stood stiffly looking at the weakly stretched woman, and her tears fell without excuse. Nathalia touched her wet cheek. Then his eyes turned to the small photo on the nightstand right next to the woman who was still faithful closed.
It looks similar to the photo that Maria showed this morning, only the face of the girl in the photo still looks cheerful.
What was in the photo was also him when he was little. After twelve years whether this woman who lay for twelve years is her mother.
Nathalia looked to her side, a little confused. Why has Lauro bent his knees beside him like someone asking for forgiveness.
"I'm sorry" Lauro looked down, not daring to look at his wife
"It's all my fault, he continued, clasping his hands together over his thighs.
"What do you mean L?" Nathalia was completely confused by the newly created scene
"She's your real mother, someone I accidentally had to take her life" L said in a tearful cry.
As in the big stone hit Nathalia's head felt dizzy, the turmoil of the taste mixture stretched on Nathalia's chest, making it tight as if it ran out of air. He fell right in front of Lauro. Even that sentence could make his leg defenses weaken. Her tears fell.
Honestly Nathalia was disappointed, but she could not see Lauro's face like this. The man saw confusion and fear, is this big a regret that this man has kept all this time.
Regardless of the woman being Nathalia's birth mother, honestly Nathalia's whole sense of the present is now siding with her past.
"Tha, what do I have to do to forgive me?" Lauro's voice returned to the air with tears turning into a stream of regret, looking at the woman who was bewildered with her wet eyes.
The woman he had to live for all this time. His shoulders shook withstanding the tightness in his chest. Both of his lips were clenched in trembling as he held back the crying. Her poor woman had so much pain she had given this woman
"How do I pay for all your pain
"How am I supposed to penetrate my fault tha?" Tanya Lauro
"My law tha, hit me but may I ask you never to leave me?" It may be too much of a demand for Lauro at this time because of one incident he robs the lives of these two women without pity.
Nathalia couldn't take it anymore, her head hurts so much right now. When Lauro's speech airs the memory of childhood comes out like a broken tape that wants to be displayed. Invade each other and overlap to show first.
Finally his world is dark, lucky with his sturdy hands Lauro darted quickly to capture Nathalia's body
"Tha?"
Lauro immediately got up and lifted Nathalia's body towards the sofa
