Never before had Erick witnessed Riani's anger, let alone against her. His mistake had indeed been truly fatal, so it was only natural that the middle-aged woman had become very angry at him. After giving her a slap twice, Riani also threw out sharp and unimaginable swear sentences.
Erick could only shut up. It was because he had no right to deny it. Everything Riani said was true. After all, no matter how much Riani gave a slap and mockery to him, it would still not be comparable to the fatal mistake Erick had made.
"After Lita, now Risa also has to suffer because of you, Erick. What was my fault with you that you had to hurt my two daughters?"
The last question was still so imprinted on Erick's head, making him peck for a long time even after Riani had passed from before him. Riani was right, he was indeed a jerk. How could he destroy the lives of two brothers at once. Two women who both loved him even willing to give anything.
Guilt and regret began to infiltrate every corner of Erick's heart, but of course it was useless. As much as he wants to apologize, everything has been destroyed. I don't know what he has to do to make amends for Lalita and Larisa. It seems that there is nothing because the mistake is already too big.
Riani's cold attitude towards Erick still persisted, although Erick still tried to invite the middle-aged woman to talk. Even when Larisa went inside the operating room, Riani still remained with her frozen expression. He and Erick were sitting in an operating waiting room with a very unpleasant atmosphere.
"Risa will be fine, Ma. The operation will certainly run smoothly," Erick said then breaking the silence. After a long moment of silence, he ventured to give words of encouragement to Riani. Erick knew, right now Riani was waiting with a feeling of anxiety, just like her.
"Even if after this Risa returned to health as usual, she will still be a girl who does not have a uterus" said Riani without turning her head. His tone still sounded sharp as before.
Erick speechless. Even without Riani saying it, she was very aware of that fact.
"You know the fate of a girl who doesn't have a uterus, Erick? He has no future. No man would marry her. No man will love her. She can not build a family and forever can not be a mother ..," added Riani again with no less sharp. However, this time his voice sounded somewhat trembling.
Erick lowered his head with condensed eyes. His two hands seemed to be intertwined and clutching at each other. Millions of emotions now filled the man's heart, but it was guilt and regret that was the greatest. In the past, he so glorified his love for Larisa, even to the point of ignoring Lalita who was then his wife. But it was love that made him destroy Larisa. Ironically, now he no longer feels love for Larisa in the slightest. If love is such a thing, isn't it so meaningless? Or maybe it wasn't love?
"I ... will be responsible ...." Erick finally muttered after being silent for a while.
Riani turned her head to hear that.
"I will take responsibility for Risa" Erick repeated.
"In what way?" asked Riani coldly.
"I will marry her and look after her for the rest of my life."
Beyond a doubt, Riani actually laughed softly at Erick's words. Erick was a bit confused.
"You want to marry Risa?" riani asked after her laughter subsided.
"Yes." Yeah." Erick nodded.
"I won't do that anymore ...."
"On what basis? Didn't you not treat Lita well before because you didn't feel like her? Do you think I don't know that you don't love Risa anymore?" Once again Riani uttered such a striking sentence.
"Don't you dare say to marry Risa again, Erick. If you still have a conscience, then eliminate from the view of Risa, Lita and I," said Riani.
Erick looked down and did not answer again. Only a long, heavy breath could be heard. He wanted to convince Riani that he could not repeat the same mistake, but his own heart was doubtful. Want to take responsibility for Larisa, but his feelings are actually attached to Lalita and the prospective child conceived by his ex-wife. I don't know how he should.
Silence continued until Larisa's operation was completed. Riani and Erick rushed to the doctor who came out of the operating room. Lucky everything went well. The operation was successful and Larisa's condition was stable. It's just that, right now he's still unconscious because of the dope influence.
Larisa was placed into the observation room to monitor the development of her body condition. A few hours later, he was awake and able to communicate. His physical condition improved by the day, but it seemed that his mental state was having problems. The look on his face did not show the slightest spirit of life. He also only spoke when Riani asked him to speak.
Meanwhile, Erick still continues to come to the hospital even though his presence has always been denied by Riani. The man seemed to heed the ears every time Riani spoke harsh words to him. He even not infrequently helps Riani take care of Larisa, who unwittingly makes Larisa even more depressed. Yes, Erick did not realize if his presence actually added to the burden of injury in the heart of the woman. Wounds that are too deep and cannot be healed anymore.
That morning, after a routine doctor checkup, Riani took Larisa for a walk in the hospital park in a wheelchair. The bright morning atmosphere is expected to make Larisa's mood slightly improved, but Larisa actually asked to be taken back to her inpatient room. Inevitably Riani obeyed his daughter's request with a sad heart. Larisa's down, she knows it. Somehow it made Larisa go back to normal.
"You want to get on the bed again?" riani asked after they were inside the room.
Larisa shook her head while looking out the window. It made Riani think that Larisa was enjoying the scenery there.
"Mama went to the toilet for a while, yes," Riani told Larisa.
This time Larisa replied with a nod, but with a flat expression like before.
Riani passed to the toilet, leaving Larisa still dumbstruck with a blank look. A moment later, Larisa turned her head and her gaze stopped on a fruit knife that Riani had used to peel apples. It seemed to be tucked between the fruits that were on the nightstand.
Larisa was stunned for a moment. A moment later, he directed his wheelchair closer to the nightstand. He looked at the knife with a difficult look. I don't know what's on his mind right now. Slowly his hand stretched out to take the sharp object and pointed it at his other wrist.
The little knife seemed to tremble slightly as the hand holding it was somewhat trembling. At once Larisa's tears dripped unbearably along with the blade that felt touched the skin of her wrist.
"I'm sorry, Ma ...."
