Sebastian closed his eyes, feeling the guilt and regret that seemed to pile up and crush his chest. He thought back to the night of the accident when he swerved to avoid the car in front of him. The truck that came suddenly, the sound of the impact that echoed in his ears, and the pain that hit him—all those memories haunted him.

Every detail of that night was clearly etched in his memory: the blinding light, the seconds that seemed to slow down as everything went into chaos. He felt as if time was repeating itself, trapped in a cycle of guilt that never ended. Dinda, who should have survived, was now lying helpless, and all of that felt like an unbearable burden.

Sebastian held Dinda's hand tighter, trying to distract his mind from the painful memories. He wanted to turn the pain into strength, something that could help him fight for his daughter's recovery. In his heart, he prayed that Dinda could feel his presence so that she could rise and fight all the obsta

    Sebastian sat on the bed, feeling the silence that filled the room. The walls that usually held beautiful memories now felt heavy with sadness. Every corner reminded him of moments with Dinda, their laughter, and heartwarming conversations. Without Dinda's presence, the atmosphere became silent and confusing.He turned his gaze to the window, looking at the darkening sky. The dusk gave a melancholic nuance, adding to the loneliness that filled the room. With his arm still in a cast, he grabbed a pillow and hugged it, as if seeking comfort in the inanimate object.Even though Lila was still near him, Sebastian felt isolated. He knew that he had to fight, but the emotional burden he felt made it difficult for him to focus. Every second passed slowly, and thoughts of Dinda dominated his mind.

    Sebastian nodded, even though pain and confusion still filled his mind. He knew that this was a crucial moment. If there was indeed evil intent behind the accident, he had to fight to uncover the truth. Sebastian fell silent, staring at the screen with mixed feelings of anger, confusion, and sadness. It seemed impossible for someone to plan this accident and even harder to accept that someone might have done it on purpose to harm him and Dinda. “Can we meet the driver?” Sebastian asked, his voice almost a whisper, full of hope for an answer. Lila shook her head slowly, her expression also showing disappointment. “The truck driver died instantly when the accident happened. His injuries were very severe, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.” Those words immediately dashed Sebastian’s hopes. “So… our information stops there?” “I’ve tried to find out more,” Lila continued in a calming voice. “I’m tracing his identity and looking for

    Sebastian's tears finally fell. "Daddy is here, honey," he said softly, his voice hoarse with the sadness he had been holding back for so long. "I'm sorry... if only Daddy could have done more to protect you. Daddy was too careless." Sebastian felt his heart break as he saw Dinda lying helpless. Every word he said felt heavy, but also full of sincere affection. He remembered all the beautiful moments they had gone through together, and the pain of that loss made him even more depressed. As his hand stroked Dinda's hair, he hoped that his affection could flow and give strength to his best friend. The tears that fell were an expression of all the guilt and helplessness he felt. He missed Dinda's smile, her cheerful laughter, and all the memories that now felt so far away. "Daddy will fight for you," Sebastian continued, his voice trembling. "I will find out who is responsible for all of this. I will not let what happened to you pass me b

    Sebastian looked at Rendy with hatred. "I know my position here, Rendy, and I don't need you to tell me what to do." Rendy took a deep breath, holding himself back from getting provoked. "Sebastian, I only think this is for Dinda's own good. Don't let this conflict burden Dinda's situation." They were both trapped in their own feelings: Sebastian with his pride and Rendy with his desire to do good. Silently, both felt that they had to find a way to work together for Dinda's sake, even though their egos and emotions were at odds. Sara looked at Sebastian with a cold, firm gaze. She was frustrated with all the trouble Sebastian had caused. In her view, Sebastian was not only ruining the atmosphere, but he was also threatening Dinda's stability. "You've caused enough trouble," she said, her voice firm and uncompromising. "If you still consider yourself Dinda's father, then respect my request. Leave now!" Sebastian was stunned for a mome

    Sara felt her heart grow heavier. "What should I do to make you wake up?" she asked herself, every word filled with despair. She hoped that Dinda could feel her presence, that a mother's love and hope were still flowing beside her. She remembered their little moments—laughter while playing in the park, bedtime stories, and dreams that had not yet come true. All those memories seemed to spin in her mind, creating a deep sense of longing. Sara felt trapped in a time that was not moving, and every second that passed made her feel more and more helpless. In silence, she continued to pray, hoping for a miracle that could bring Dinda back into her arms. Anxiety and fear enveloped Sara's heart. She could feel how heavy this burden was, as if the whole world was pressing down on her shoulders. The accident that almost took her daughter's life and the drastic changes in their lives had already drained her emotions. Now, seeing Dinda lying there, unable to do anything, ma

    "Rendy," a woman's voice called his name, sounding firm but with a sense of relief in it. "Rachel is awake. She just opened her eyes." Rendy was stunned for a moment, his heart seemed to jump at the news. "What? Rachel is awake?" he asked in a whisper, making sure Sara didn't hear his conversation. Joy and relief enveloped his mind, but in an instant, he also felt depressed. With this news, all his attention and focus should have been on Dinda, but the good news about Rachel made him drift between two different worlds. Meanwhile, in the room, Sara was still immersed in her hopes, unaware that Rendy was receiving news that could change the direction of his attention. Rendy tried to control his emotions, struggling not to get too caught up in this good news, even though his heart wanted to share the happiness. “Yes,” the woman answered softly but confidently. “The doctor said it was a miracle, and Rachel can already respond a little. But she st

    Rendy’s footsteps were heard softly in the quiet hospital corridor. He occasionally looked back, making sure no one was following him. Sara, who was exhausted after two days without sleep, was now asleep in the chair beside Dinda’s bed. That gave her time to leave without arousing suspicion.He walked towards a quieter part of the hospital, the rooms there seemed different and more private, away from the crowd. Once he arrived in front of one of the doors, he took a deep breath before knocking softly and pushing the door.Inside, a woman with a tired but beautiful face was staring at him. Vina, his wife, stood up from her chair. Her eyes lit up when she saw Rendy."You came," said Vina, her voice trembling between relief and longing.Rendy nodded, not saying anything. His gaze immediately shifted to the bed in the corner of the room. There, Rachel lay, her small face still pale, but her eyes were now open, staring happily when she saw R

    The resident took a deep breath, trying to find the right words. "I promise I'll do my best to ensure you get all the necessary information. This is a valuable lesson for me."The resident looked increasingly nervous. He lowered his gaze, avoiding Sara's eyes. "I truly apologize, Mrs. Sara," he said softly. "I didn't mean... to hide anything. That was indeed my mistake.""Mistake?" Sara emphasized the word with a sarcastic tone. "What kind of mistake results in an injury like that not being mentioned at all? My child is my responsibility, and I have the right to know what is happening to her."Sara's words left the resident speechless. He felt the heavy burden of responsibility on him. "I understand, ma'am. This is a very difficult situation, and I don't want you to feel neglected. We should have been more transparent."Sara shook her head, tears starting to well up in her eyes.

This is not just a technical issue; it concerns the trust of the patient in us as a medical team!"His words echoed in the silence, adding weight to an already tense atmosphere. All eyes were on the doctor, observing how serious the situation had become. "We must remember that every decision we make can have a significant impact on someone's life. We cannot take risks like this."The doctor looked at his colleagues, hoping they understood the importance of maintaining integrity and professionalism in every action. "We must commit to providing the best for our patients, no matter how small the details," he emphasized.Sara watched the scene with her mouth half-open, her heart pounding in a mix of confusion and anger.

"Sweetheart, Mommy just wants the best for you. Besides, Daddy Rendy is here. You can play with him."Dinda huffed, crossing her arms. "Daddy Rendy isn’t fun. He always daydreams when I invite him to play. That makes me mad!"Hearing that, Sara felt a bit frustrated. She knew Dinda really needed attention and love.

    The woman looked pale, her eyes swollen, clearly showing that she had just been crying. When she saw Rendy approaching, Vina appeared a bit relieved but still deeply worried.Rendy felt the pain in Vina's heart and knew this situation was very serious. He tried to calm himself, even though the tension in the air felt heavy. Rendy knew that this was the right time to support Vina and find out what was really happening with Rachel."Rendy!"

    Suddenly, Rendy's phone rang. As he answered, his expression changed instantly. From a warm face while with Dinda, now it showed a striking tension. He listened intently to the voice on the other end, occasionally nodding even though those around him couldn't hear the conversation.A moment later, he hung up and hurriedly put his phone in his pocket. His face revealed that something serious was happening, and I felt curious about what he had heard.

"I have to go to the office now. There’s an important matter with a client that can’t be postponed."Rendy appeared rushed, and the tension on his face became more evident. He seemed to struggle with his words before leaving, as if he wanted to explain more, but time seemed to be running out. With quick steps, he prepared to leave, ab

    "Are you sure this is just a coincidence?" Sara asked again, this time her voice softer.Rendy nodded firmly. "Of course. There's nothing for you to worry about. They’re just clients, nothing more."Seeing Rendy's calm demeanor, Sara began to second-guess her suspicions. A part of her wanted to believe Rendy’s words, even though the shadow of Sebastian and his earlier words still lingered in her mind.The anxiety that had once consumed her thoughts began to subside, but an underlying sense of unease remained. She tried to convince herself that maybe this was indeed just a coincidence. However, doubt still loomed in her heart, leaving her feeling trapped between the desire to believe and the fear of a greater possibility.Rendy stepped closer, gently touching Sara's shoulder. "You look tired. Let’s go back to Dinda's room. I'm sure she wants to see both of us," he said softly. Sara gazed deeply at Rendy, trying to read

    Sara bit her lip. She knew she shouldn't let her thoughts carry her away. However, her maternal instinct—the urge to protect Dinda—was starting to push her to uncover the truth. Sebastian might be wrong, but what if he was right?That worry gnawed at her mind, making her feel restless. She wanted to protect Dinda from anything that could harm her, including painful truths.

Should she try to contact Rendy once more or seek out other information? Deep down, she knew she had to get answers, no matter how difficult it might be.After a few minutes, Sara tried calling again, but still no answer. Her anxiety grew, and she began to feel something was off. Yet, on the other hand, she didn’t want to think too far without proof."Be patient, Sara," she told herself.
