The Secret Of Siyyara And Gallen's Heart
23. Past times

"What about Siyyara and Gallen doc?"

"Miss Siyyara is past her critical period, but Miss Siyyara will experience permanent blindness due to the glass fragments stuck in both eyes."

"The germ?"

"Yes sir. Miss Siyyara will only be able to see again if someone donates both eyes to her" the doctor explained.

Alvian was silent, his legs felt like jelly, he touched the wall beside him to support his body. He could not imagine his sister's life after this. Because Siyyara was very afraid of the darkness.

Seeing Alvian's inertia, the doctor continued his sentence.

"For Dr. Gallen, he was in a coma after we had surgery to remove 6 bullets from his body. And the chances of him regaining consciousness are very small, because his body is very badly injured."

"But we're very grateful that the bullet didn't hit his vital organ, if it happened, we didn't know what to do" the doctor said.

"Doctor, please save Gallen, whatever happens please save him. Don't let anything happen to her. I beg you, doc." Alvian cupped his hands together in front of his chest.

"We will do our best for his recovery, sir."

Alvian nodded weakly, he was pensive in the waiting chair of the Operation Room, he wanted to contact the Gallen family, but he was afraid that his Mama Gallen's condition would deteriorate, and that he would be in a bad mood, because Alvian knew that Mama Gallen was sick.

And Alvian pensively returns, wanting to contact his Grandpa and Daddy, but he is confused where to start.

"Oh God." Alvian rubbed his face in frustration.

"Excuse me young master" said one of the bodyguards.

"What's wrong?" Ask Alvian lirih.

"The great master is trying to contact the young master, and the great master is angry that the young master did not pick up the call from the great master" said his Bodyguard.

"Then?"

"The big master has arrived in Jakarta, and he wants to know where the position of the young master and miss Siyyara at this time," continued the bodyguard.

"All right, I'll call her. You guys go."

"Okay, young master." The bodyguards left Alvian alone.

Alvian took the phone out of his jacket pocket, and on the screen plastered 20 missed calls from his Daddy.

Alvian dialed back his Daddy's number, and soon Mr.'s voice came. Dave was angry with her.

"Where are you at the moment?" Ask Dave full of emphasis.

"Daddy must be tracking me right now, so Daddy must know where I'm right now."

"YOU?"

"Dad, Siyyara is already past her critical period, but she will experience permanent blindness and" Alvian took a deep breath and exhaled her.

"-and Gallen is in a coma. What are we gonna tell his family, Dad? While the mental condition of Mama Gallen himself is not good" Alvian said in a weak tone.

"Huffft, just tell the whole thing to his family, Daddy's gonna be there soon."

Tut

The call has been turned off unilaterally by Mr. Dave. Alvian sighed again, he immediately dialed the phone number of Gallen's house, his heart beating very fast. Indeed, he could not bear to deliver tragic news to the Gallen family.

"Surely at this time Aunt Amanda is waiting for Gallen's return home," Alvian's inner heart was sad.

"Hello."

Alvian flinched when he found out that the one who picked up the phone was Aunt Amanda herself.

"Ha-hello Aunt."

"Who is this? Can I help you?"

"Tante, this is Alvian Gallen's best friend."

"Oh, Alvian. What's up Al? Are you looking for Gallen? He's gone, he's gone with Siyyara. Didn't Gallen tell you he was carrying your sister? Basic Gallen, he must have taken Siyyara secretly from your house huh?"

"Auntie's sorry, you must be worried about your sister right now. But you take it easy, Siyyara will be fine with Gallen" Amanda said endlessly.

Alvian chest is very crowded, can listen to the cheerful voice of Aunt Amanda is happiness for him, it means the condition of Aunt Amanda has improved. And does she have the heart to make Aunt Amanda sad again? But either way, Alvian has to tell Aunt Amanda the truth about Gallen's condition.

"Tante, is there Tristan?" Ask Alvian.

"Tristan is in his room, do you want to say something? Just tell Auntie, Auntie will tell Tristan" Amanda exclaimed.

Alvian breathed a doubtful sigh.

"Tante," said Alvian hesitatingly.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Gallen is currently in the hospital, Auntie. He's in the care of the International Medical Hospital."

"W-what? How come? What's really going on, Al?"

"He was shot while trying to protect Siyyara, Auntie."

"Ga-Gallen," Amanda said. He dropped the phone he was holding, he was sitting limp.

She was so afraid Gallen would leave her, it was enough that the husband had left her, she did not want if her eldest son also caught up with her husband.

"Hiks Gallen."

"GALLEN!!" Shouted Amanda loudly, to make Tristan who was in his room immediately went down to see the condition of his mother.

"Mama!" Tristan ran over to her Mama when she saw her Mama in a state of chaos.

"Ma, Mama why? What's going on, Ma?" Tristan hugged her Mama tightly, trying to calm her down.

"Hiks, Gallen!"

Tristan was silent as her mother continued to mutter her brother's name.

"Ma, what happened to Mr Gallen? He's fine, right?"

"Gallen," Amanda raced.

"Gallen, Hiks. Don't leave Mama!"

"Don't leave Mama!" Amanda continued to rebel from Tristan's arms.

"DON'T LEAVE MOM!" Amanda screamed, and soon Amanda fell unconscious.

"Mama! Ma, wake up Ma!" Tristan shouted in panic.

"Mama!"

"Yes Allah. Young master, what's wrong with Madam?" Ask Aunt Sara, the housekeeper.

"Bi, please call the doctor. I don't know what's going on, suddenly Mama's calling out Gallen's sister's name."

"Okay, young master."

Tristan carries Amanda to her room, and Sara's aunt calls the family doctor immediately, so she can come to the Dameatria residence.

Tong

Tong

After Sara's aunt finished calling the family doctor, there was the sound of a bell and Aunt Sara immediately headed to the main door to open the door of the house.

"Can I help you, sir?" ask aunt Sara after the door opens.

"Good night, is Amanda home?" Ask the guy.

"Good night, sir. I-iya, Madam is at home," said Aunt Sara nodding awkwardly, fearing for her guests. The guest had a cold face and his gaze was very piercing.

"Please come in, sir."

The guest nodded and immediately walked into the living room to sit on one of the sofas that were there.

Aunt Sara immediately went up to the second floor to call Tristan who was in Madam Amanda's room, so that she immediately went down to meet the Guest.

"Excuse me young master, there's a guest looking for Mrs Amanda downstairs" said Aunt Sara.

"Who, Bi?"

"I don't know, sir."

"Well, I'm going downstairs for a while, please take care of Mama ya Bi," Tristan said.

"Good, sir."

*

Tristan approached her Mama guest who was sitting on the living room sofa.

"Excuse me, sir," said Tristan.

The guest turned to Tristan and gave a faint smile.

Tristan immediately sat on the sofa facing the Guest.

"Can I help you, sir?"

"Amanda is?" Ask the Guest.

"There's a master, but right now Mama can't see you because she's sick. If there is anything you want to say, just tell me, let me say it back to Mama" Tristan said.

"ill? What pain?"

"Mama was unconscious after receiving a call from someone. But I don't know, what caused Mama to faint."

The guest nodded, but the look on his face changed slightly, he expressed himself as if he was worried and sad.

Tristan was very confused, why suddenly there was a visit to his house, because so far no one had visited his house except the doctors who treated Mama and Siyyara. Who is that guest? Why is that guy asking for his mom? Tristan looked at the guest with a confused face, while the guest knew that the host was currently confused by his presence.

"What's your name, son?" Ask the Guest.

"My name is Tristan, sir."

"Don't call master, just call uncle."

"Good, uncle."

"You must be wondering, why did I come here right?" Tristan simply replied with a clumsy nod, while smiling.

"I'm Papa's best friend and your mom. My name is Dave Damares."

"Damares?"

"Yes, I am the father of Siyyara," Dave continued with a glance at Tristan who was surprised to look at him.

"I also know that you've loved Siyyara for a long time" Dave choked Tristan to his own spit.

"Uhuk uhuk." Tristan immediately soaked his throat with the white water that was on the table.

"Did you still love Siyyara? Remember, now Siyyara is your sister's lover. Inevitably, you must erase your love for Siyyara, " Dave said as he continued to see Tristan's movements that looked wrong.

"Uncle, I've tried to forget Siyyara, uncle knows for himself if the feeling of love can not be lost just like that. I'm trying right now, uncle."

"That's great, son," answered Dave quietly.

"Uncle, what made Uncle come here? Is there something?" Tristan ventured to ask about Dave's intentions and purpose in coming to his house.

"I came here to see your Mama, but if she's currently unconscious, then Alvian has told your Mama about it" Dave said.

"What's the matter, uncle?"

"Gallen's in a coma in the hospital."

"W-what? How can you, uncle?"

"When Siyyara was being chased by the mafia, your brother protected Siyyara until he was shot by the mafia. I came here to apologize for everything, because Gallen is in this state because he wants to save Siyyara. I know, my thanks are nothing compared to Gallen's struggles." Dave took a deep breath.

"I'm going to try to find the best doctor for Gallen, and hopefully he'll wake up soon."

"Ja-so Mama fainted from hearing the news about Mr Gallen?" Tanya Tristan made sure with a paled face.

"Yes, son," Dave answered briefly.

Tristan rubbed his face rough, he did not know what to do now. His mother loved Gallen very much, Gallen was his mother's favorite son, although his mother also loved him, but his affection for Gallen was much greater than with him.

Is Tristan envious? Of course not. Tristan never envied Gallen, because he also loved Gallen very much. Gallen can do anything he can't. Tristan is very afraid that her brother's bad condition will make her Mama return.

"Uncle-" Tristan's words came to a halt when he heard the screams from the second floor.

"GALLENN!!"

"CORROYNE!"

Tristan was stunned and he immediately went up to the second floor to see the condition of his mother.

As Tristan hurried up to the second floor after hearing the screams, Dave followed Tristan, he was very familiar with the voice, it was the voice of his late wife's best friend first.

"Mama!" Tristan approached Amanda and hugged her.

Aunt Sara who was originally accompanying Amanda immediately stepped aside after Tristan arrived.

"Bi, what's going on?"

"Mrs woke up having a bad dream, young master," said Aunt Sara.

"Alright, please get some water ya bi."

"Good, sir." Aunt Sara immediately went out to head to the kitchen.

"Hiks GALLEN!"

"Mama calm down." Tristan rubbed her Mama's back slowly.

"Tristan, where's your brother? Why hasn't he come home yet? Where's she? WHERE'S SHE?"

"Ma, Mama, calm down. Mama can't be like this, sister Gallen can be sad if Mama is like this," comforted Tristan.

Amanda stops screaming, but she's still crying, she's so scared that Gallen will leave her like her husband.

"Hiks, Gallen!"

"Hiks," Amanda said.

"Manda," call Dave who's standing at Amanda's door.

Amanda immediately stopped her crying after hearing the voice of someone she knew very well, Amanda looked at Dave sadly.

"Dave's? You, you here?" Amanda stood up from her bed to approach Dave.

"Yes, I'm here. I'm sorry, your son has to be hurt for wanting to protect Siyyara" said Dave Lirih.

Amanda cries again, she sits in front of Dave with her head down.

"Dave."

"I'm sorry for my past mistakes. Please forgive us" Amanda said in tears.

"I feel like this is a punishment for my mistakes first. I've lost my husband, and now Gallen's dying too."

"I don't want Gallen to forgive me all my sins, Dave." Amanda cupped her hands together in front of her chest, she lowered her head before Dave on her knees.

Tristan who doesn't understand anything just keeps quiet, he stares at Dave and Amanda with a hard-to-understand look, and Tristan is very suspicious.

"Manda, stand. Don't be like this. It's all gone, I never hated you or your husband, what happened in the past was fate. So, don't blame yourself for everything, you've had enough to suffer for your guilt."

"No, Dave. I should have deserved to be in jail, not hanging around like this." Amanda's voice was getting louder.

"Don't say that, Manda. It's all over, throw away your guilt. Live happily with your two sons, do not burden your life with past events. Right now we have to focus on the recovery of Gallen and Siyyara. Don't think about things that have passed, Manda." Hearing Dave's words, Amanda's heart tightened, her guilt grew.

"Remember Siena. Siena loves you so much, right now she must be sad to see you who always think about the dark past."

Amanda was silent when she heard the name of the person she missed so much. Siena, Siena is her best friend, Siena is as jovial and beautiful as Siyyara. Truly he missed his moments with Siena, he wanted to hear Siena's chatty voice. But it will not happen, because Siena has left this world, leaving her husband and her two children who still need her.
