You're Not a Figurant
[POV Alex] Ch 1 - Aaron

[For new readers, before reading this novel first read the novel entitled "I'm just a Figuran" yes, because this novel is the continuation. Thank you.]

I carried Diana in my arms and took her to the nearest patient room. I told the nurses who were there to take care of her. Then I turned to face his manager.

"How's chronology? Since when was he in surgery?"

"I don't know the chronology, sir. Three hours ago Diana received a phone call, which reported that Mr. Aaron was in an accident. We came straight here. Diana's condition was very unstable, so I decided to contact the family. The first time came also the doctor had advised to immediately do the operation because Mr. Aaron's condition is very serious..."

"You take care of him. I will find out for myself." I said as I put my shoulder towards Diana.

"Good Sir."

I came out of the patient room and went to see two policemen who appeared to be present there. I asked the chronology of the incident.

Aaron had a single accident. He hit a roadblock and drove drunk. It was detected from the alcohol content in his blood.

The police have made news of the case based on the testimony of witnesses. Aaron's car used as evidence has also been towed and stored by the police. As for Aaron's condition, they don't know for sure.

When Aaron was found unconscious. His body is full of blood. It was certain that the man had lost a lot of blood. That is why the doctor decided to take quick action, namely through surgery.

There was no medical team I could ask for information on, as they were busy performing the surgery. I just need to wait for the surgery to be completed to find out Aaron's next condition. I don't like this feeling without clarity. But I can't do anything but wait.

I waited in front of the operating room with a troubled mind. Hope the operation goes well and Aaron can be saved.

Several times I had to check Diana's condition, because it seemed like her psychic condition was unstable. Many times Diana woke up, many times she fell unconscious. His body, mind and heart were as if unable to withstand all these burdens. I can see how much Diana loved Aaron.

Two hours later, my family arrived. Mom rushed straight towards me. Crying and screaming. Same with the attitude that Diana had shown before. Shortly after, he fainted. I carried her and placed her in the patient room, next to Diana's bed.

I took care of two fainted women whose emotions were unstable. Not to mention that my mind is still divided waiting for news of Aaron's condition. My phone rings dozens of times. There have been several calls from Winda, while dozens of other calls from some of my subsidiary leaders. I'm putting my office down as anything. Today I am just a little sister who is worried waiting for the news of the death of an older brother.

Aaron is in surgery, but the attitude shown by the two women who love Aaron is already like this. It's unimaginable that anything really happened to Aaron. Maybe these two different women of this generation will really go crazy.

"You accompany your mama. Let Papa stay here." Papa patted my back. Told me to accompany my mother in the patient room. I follow papa's advice.

A few moments later, the woman who had given birth to me woke up.

"I..."

"Yes Ma?"

"He's still in operation Ma..."

"Huuuu..." Mama was crying again. I hugged his body, patting his back. Mom's body was shaking violently. Showing incredible sadness.

"She's gonna be okay, Ma. Don't cry anymore, sshhh..."

"Mama couldn't... Unable... Wh-why can it be like this? Why does my son have to go through something like this? W-what if something happens to her? Ba-how's Al?! Aaroo!! Aaroo!!" Instead of stopping, my mother cried even harder. I can only comfort him, trying to be his strength. That's all I can do right now.

"W-what if the operation fails? B-what if he... Huuu... Huu... Ma-mama can't!! I can't stand Al!! If she dies, Mama dies too... Aaroooon's..."

"He'll be fine. Mama, calm down" For the next few tens of minutes, all I did was comfort her. Hugged, wiped her tears and gave her words of comfort. In front of my mom I try to be strong. Being a figure that can be used as a backup, but actually my heart also wants to cry. I can't imagine if anything really happened to Aaron. Thinking about something like that always freaks me out.

I hugged my mom. His cries began to be inaudible. It seems he has calmed down. A moment later, the bed next to Mama moved. I'm switching my eyes. I saw Diana was beginning to wake up.

Diana blinked her eyes, trying to read the situation. She looked at me and my mom confused. Five seconds later, his mind began to gather. She looked at Mama for a long time, then her cries began to break.

"Yamaah!!" Diana got out of bed and hugged her mother. The two women embrace each other, lamenting the fate of the man they care about. The patient room was filled with sounds of crying, sobs, roars, and words of comfort. I hope Aaron sees this. Many people loved him. I hope he will never leave us for good.

***

A few hours later, the two began to calm down. Still hugging each other, they got off the bed. They were forced to wait in front of the operating room. Hugging each other, trying to strengthen each other, even though I know both of them are in an unstable condition.

Diana and Mama were very close. A layman who sees will probably assume they are a mother and a biological child. Their closeness is no longer like the closeness of an in-law and daughter-in-law. Sometimes when I see them like that, I always imagine Mama and Khansa. Imagine Mama would treat Khansa that warm. He considers Khansa as his own son. How fun.

Ah, Khansa...

Feelings of guilt, confusion, sadness, disappointment and anger raged in my mind. I feel guilty for desecrating Khansa like that. Should have been our first meeting would have been a wonderful one. I will express my feelings, and hope that Khansa accepts me.

But on the other hand I feel proud. At least I now have a reason to make Khansa mine.

Khansa, wait for me. Once all this is done, I'll arrest you.

(episode fishing, let's quickly pass the review)
