The Destiny
Helenium (Tear)

Rachel rubbed her tears, she walked with Dr. Brian, who was heading to the ICU.

When she wants to come in, Rachel is forbidden to go inside, she has to wait outside, let alone she is pregnant, the ICU should not be entered carelessly, all must be in accordance with the procedure.

Then, Rachel stepped limply towards the waiting chair, she sat there, her head bowed in lethargy. I wanted to cry but it was as if my tears were dry.

Rachel then recalled the words of Dr. Brian to tell Ana's husband. Rachel did not want to do it, but— saw her own condition, making her have to think about it again.

He thought about it many times, so Rachel decided to call Ray.

With hesitation, Rachel took her phone from inside the bag, then unlocked the phone screen.

Rachel bit her lower lip, her feelings were mixed, she was annoyed at her who had to be weak at the moment, if only she wasn't pregnant and weak like this, she said, he would definitely not tell anyone about Ana's condition, because it was his promise to Ana, not to tell anyone about Ana's condition.

In her heart, Rachel repeatedly apologized to Ana for not being able to keep her promise.

Rachel really had to do this.

With tears dripping again, Rachel— by force, he contacted Ray.

•••

On the other hand, Ray was in his workroom, he again absent did not enter the office with the reason not feeling well, but it was because his heart was feeling depressed.

Yohan entered the room with a map, bowed respectfully to Ray, and placed the map on his master's desk.

Ray scrunched his forehead, waiting for his assistant to explain what the contents of the map were and why he gave it to Ray.

"I think I've found Miss Angel sir." Said assistant Yohan.

"She's the daughter of Chairman Anderson Ussa." Yohan said, continuing her words.

Ray looked surprised, he felt it was unreasonable, how could— Angel was the son of his enemy.

"You sure it's Angel?" Ask Ray.

"I'm sure sir. Because the car that the girl drove in the photo yesterday belongs to the chairman of Ussa, the owner of the company Ussa."

"Because it's Ussa's car, so you're concluding that the girl who got into the car was his son?" Ask Ray.

"The parents of Miss Angel divorced when Miss Angel was just one year old, from then on she was raised by her mother until she was nine years old, but then her mother remarried and handed Miss Angel to her father." Said assistant Yohan.

"And his father was Anderson Ussa?"

"Yes, right sir, that's what I got from some informant."

Ray closed his eyes for a moment, he rubbed his face rough, why everything became more and more complicated like this.

"What's his name?" Ask Ray.

"The woman's name is sir?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Angelina Anita Ussa."

Ray frowned strangely,

"So her name is angel?"

"No sir. Dulu— before he finally went with his father, his name was Anita Ussa, then later, he added Angelina in front of his name. From what I heard, he purposely added that name to remember a boy of his childhood." Said assistant Yohan.

Ray breathed his heavy breath, trying to digest what Yohan had just said. It all sounds reasonable, but it feels like Ray is still not satisfied.

Ray's phone vibrated, a call came in from Rachel. The man just silently looked at her, for a moment he thought about ignoring her, but when Ana's face flashed back in his memory, he immediately raised the call.

"Hello? Hello brother Ray." Rachel's voice rattled in Ray's ear, as if talking while crying. It made the uncomfortable feeling in Ray's heart reappear again.

"What's wrong with you?" Ask Ray.

"Sir Ana. Ah— how should I say it, I can't explain it here, but please, come quickly to the hospital. Ana's sister entered the ICU, dia—" No time Rachel finished her words, Rachel's cell phone battery runs out, the call was cut off unilaterally.

Ray doesn't care what Rachel says next, because his brain is empty when he hears Ana is in the ICU. Ana's memory of saying goodbye and waving with a smile was back on her mind, all like goodbye.

Ray's body felt weak, he stood up from his chair, but suddenly staggered, he lost his balance, if Yohan did not support him, Ray might have fallen to the floor.

"Sir, are you okay? What's the problem?" Ask the assistant Yohan who saw the look of surprise, panic, and worry on his master's face.

"Car keys." Ray muttered, in a daze, Ray searched for the keys to his car, but panic made it harder for someone to find something they wanted.

Ray rummaged through his desk, even he did not care to throw a map containing Angel's documents, he had also forgotten the news of Angel's discovery, which should make him happy.

"Where are my car keys?!"

"Lord's car key, it's in your pocket." Said Yohan while pointing at the car keys that appear behind the pocket of Ray's pants

"Ck, why haven't you said that since?!"

With a quick movement, Ray immediately took the keys and ran to his car.

He drove the car like he was driving an ambulance carrying an emergency patient.

Arriving at the hospital, the man immediately parked his car to the parking area. Then he ran like a fugitive being chased by the police. No matter how many people scolded him because he hit them, Ray's feet kept running fast towards the ICU room.

The man continued to run, every time Ana's smile and the wave of Ana's hand crossed his head, he felt the tightness in his head, he felt fear, without him realizing slowly his tears were dripping.

When her feet stepped on the ICU area, from a distance, she could see the figure of Rachel who was still crying sobbing. Seeing that, Ray's heart grew more agitated, he stopped running and stepped quickly towards Rachel.

"Rachel." Call Ray, the man is still panting, he walks over to Rachel.

"Say what happened? Did Ana have an accident?!" Ray asked, not knowing that Ana was saying goodbye to him this morning to go to the hospital, not to go to the airport. So, Ray thinks that Ana had an accident.

Rachel shook her head,

"Not."

"Why did he go to the hospital? What's going on?!"

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you this before, but Ana's sister told me to keep this a secret. He did not want to make his loved ones worry about him." Rachel said with a cry that accompanied her words.

"Whatchu mean? Just tell me the point!"

"Actually, sister Ana didn't go abroad, it was all just an excuse so she could have her lung surgery without anyone knowing."

Ray was flabbergasted to hear it, he even fell to his knees, his body shaking, he felt helpless.

"Sir Ana had a pneumothorax, today she was supposed to have surgery, but as if the test of god had not ended, she collided with a blue code team carrying a defibrillator, her chest cavity was hit by it, and his head hit the hospital floor. The doctor said he had a mild brain injury, but it wasn't a big deal, which he's worried about right now is his lungs."

Rachel sighed, with as much as she could continue her words.

"But, hearing it all, my heart was a little relieved, because at first, I thought sister Ana had a ptx tension. If sister Ana gets it, two minutes to five minutes of tension ptx occurs, sister Ana could die right then and there if there is no quick treatment."

Ray clenched his hands tightly, he really did not expect that Ana had been hiding the disease from him all this time. In fact, all this time the girl looks cheerful and always smiles.

Remembering Ana's smiling face happily at a time like this, only made Ray's heart ache even more. He missed the girl's smile.
