Along the hospital corridor to the ICU room, James and Rebecca join hands to strengthen each other. As a adult man, James still needs moral support from his wife. Whatever will happen later, James hopes that all parties can accept freely and still hope that his relationship with Rebecca will not be disturbed by this reality.
Every now and then Rebecca stared at the two blackish beads of James, deep within those eyeballs Rebecca saw such a deep sorrow. "You ready?"
James just nodded and clasped Rebecca's hand even tighter. The man felt that he was only living by relying on Rebecca's feelings alone.
As soon as a nurse invited her in, Rebecca requested that James should visit her first in the incentive room.
"Can't we be together?" pinta James to the woman he loves so much now.
"The rules are that, I'll wait ahead of here. You just talk to him. He must have been waiting for you a long time, James."
According to the doctor who handled it, Raisa was declared brain dead due to a car accident that made her unconscious until now. Not only that, the hospital also stated that Alicia's biological mother is not expected to be able to live long. Raisa suffers a severe anoxic brain injury and is still in a coma, in critical condition due to a collision in her head.
Anoxia is an extreme condition when the body or brain loses oxygen stores. Anoxia is usually the result of hypoxia, or a decrease in oxygen in tissues even though blood flow is sufficient.
Anoxia is dangerous for the brain. This is because in four to five minutes after oxygen is exhausted, the brain can experience permanent damage in the form of brain cells die and affect brain function.
James felt his steps so heavy that he reached the end of the bed where Raisa was lying. The face was still the same, even though it had not met for a long time, Raisa was still as beautiful as before. Only, now his body looked thin and pale.
"Didn't see you for a long time, Ra?" greet James a little awkward with the situation in this ICU.
James then looked around the room, several life aids were installed to support Raisa's life. To be honest, James was compassionate and did not see Raisa.
"If you wish I had come here, I've come to see you. And I won't prolong the trouble between us, Ra. All at the request of Rebecca, my wife and Alicia's mother."
James spoke at length even though Raisa kept her eyes closed. He felt that Raisa was able to listen to his words. So James will continue to wait for Raisa to respond.
"I've made peace, Ra. And you know my daughter Cia has now grown into a pretty smart and pretty girl like you." However, Raisa did not give her response at all to James.
James was not discouraged. The man's intention to reconcile with Raisa was already unanimous. In retrospect, James could not hurt to end this grudge and let's live life as normal as possible with Rebecca and Alicia.
"He came here too, and maybe he wanted to greet you. Alicia has a mom who loves her and me so much." James remembered having made Becca wait a long time for her meeting with Raisa.
James then tells Raisa to take turns with Rebecca. "Goodbye, Ra! I hope you'll be happy!"
The man opens the ICU door after speaking at length with Raisa and soon meets the wife James loves.
However, the whereabouts of Rebecca who had promised to wait for him in front of the ICU did not appear visible.
"Ah, maybe he's going to the bathroom" James now sits in the ICU's front waiting room and has patience waiting for the wife he thinks is going to the toilet.
Not to forget James also dialed Rebecca's cell phone number to ask her whereabouts. But it's all nil. Becca didn't pick up James's call at all.
**
The day before Rebecca asked James to go see Raisa. Rebecca had a chance meeting with Fabian. Whether coincidentally or indeed planned by God, both are simultaneously in the tomb of the father.
Rebecca was the first to come and then followed by Fabian. The two brothers met for the first time in about five years.
There was no dispute or struggle between the two. Only sobbing was the opening of the meeting between the two people. Rebecca was no longer able to stem her sense of smell.
Although Fabian repeatedly asked him to leave James, Rebecca remained unmoved and said, "I have my own way. You can't fool me anymore!"
Fabian felt really sorry for hurting Rebecca and her mom. And swore they would never hurt them again. With one condition for Rebecca to leave James.
"No need to remind me, I already know my position" said the woman's doctor before leaving the sister.
Rebecca's heart was broken at that moment. He did not expect that those close to him would lie to Rebecca. Including James, the husband.
Before returning to her home, Rebecca first searched for information about the coma patient being treated in the flower city. It was in this way that Rebecca was able to find Raisa.
In addition, Rebecca was also preparing for her future. He no longer wanted to be seen among the grudges of those who could mobilize him.
Rebecca had laid out a plan ahead, so as to make sure that she would not come into contact with them again.

"Honey, where are you? Why do you like to make people panic?" lamented James because until now he did not find the wife.
Not only that, Madame Melati is also rumored to have suffered a shock to be rushed to the hospital because Thomas accidentally leaked their secrets.
James was truly between the two ravines at the moment. The mother and wife who loved him now do not know what his condition was like.
The man was faced with two options: return to Jakarta or keep looking for Rebecca.
Certainly, Madam Melati is the one who should be prioritized because of her health condition. For Rebecca's troubles, James has deployed his confidant to carry out James's task of finding Rebecca.
This is what James was so afraid of. James thought that Rebecca had given up and felt that James would return to Raisa. But James is not that. He has chosen to whom his ship will dock. James has chosen where his future hangs.
"He should have known, I couldn't have gone back to Raisa. Because I love her. I love you, Rebecca."
