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
Sebastian took a deep breath, trying to fend off the waves of anxiety that kept crashing over him. He stared at the document in front of him, but the image of Dinda lying weakly in the hospital bed haunted him. Every time he tried to concentrate, his daughter’s small face appeared in his mind, with a cheerful smile that now felt so distant.Sebastian knew that his work was waiting, but his heart was tied elsewhere. He planned to visit Dinda again after work, hoping each visit would bring him closer to hope. He wanted to see her eyes open, to hear her call his name again.He looked back at the document. He tried to dive into the numbers and tables, but his mind kept drifting. He knew that even though the world around him was moving forward, the most important part of his life was on hold, waiting for a miracle.A soft knock at the door broke his reverie. "Come in," he said, slightly distracted. Lila entered with a stack of files in her hands. "Sebasti
Lila nodded, slightly worried about the tone of Sebastian's voice. "Of course, you should find out quickly. Well then, I’ll take my leave," she said before stepping out of the room.Sebastian watched Lila leave, his feelings mixed. The courage rising within him to uncover the truth about Dinda strengthened. He knew that the next step was to dig deeper, even if it was risky. With renewed determination, he began planning how to get the information he needed.Sebastian sat in his chair restlessly, hands gripping the table. Thoughts of the stitch mark on Dinda's abdomen continued to disturb his tranquility. Lila’s words about the scar felt like an alarm ringing in his mind."What really happened to Dinda?" he thought, the anxiety weighing heavily on his mind. He felt that something was off, something that might have been deliberately hidden from him.Sebastian tried to piece together his memories, recalling the last moments they shared. Why hadn’t Din
Sara, already very frustrated, stepped closer and pointed sharply at Sebastian. "Dinda is my daughter! I know exactly what she’s been through. Don’t try to accuse me of hiding something, especially with your nonsensical theories!"Rendy, standing nearby, tried to ease the tension. "Sebastian, calm down. I understand you’re worried, but this isn’t the way. We can talk about this rationally."However, Sebastian ignored Rendy. "I don’t need advice from you! I just want to know what’s happening to Dinda!" His voice rose, filled with deep emotion.The reaction only made Sara angrier. "Sebastian, enough! You’ve lost your right to interfere. If you keep causing trouble, I won’t hesitate to report you!"Both statements heightened the tension, drawing the attention of those around them. The atmosphere became increasingly awkward, and all eyes were on them. Sebastian felt frustrated, while Sara tried to keep the situation under control, though her anger and
Doctors and several nurses rushed into Dinda's room, followed by Sara, who couldn't hide her happiness. The atmosphere in the room became more dynamic as the medical team began to examine Dinda carefully, ensuring her condition was stable.Dinda, still looking weak, slowly opened her eyes wider. Sara stood beside her, watching with hope. Rendy remained at the doorframe, feeling the tension within him. He knew this moment could change everything, and with that, he had to prepare for whatever might happen next."How are you feeling, Dinda?" the doctor asked gently.Dinda only nodded slightly, as if she couldn't speak much more. However, that small gesture was enough to bring Sara to tears of joy. "Thank you, Doctor. Thank you so much!" she said gratefully."This is a big step," the doctor said with a smile. "But she still needs plenty of rest and monitoring. Don't let her talk too much for now. We'll keep monitoring her progress."Sara nodded, w
Sebastian sat in the meeting room, but his mind drifted far from the presentation happening in front of him. Amid the manager's explanation of the new strategy, the face of his little daughter, Dinda, haunted him. Her cheerful smile and innocent gaze filled his thoughts, deepening his anxiety.Dinda, who was lying in the hospital, became the center of Sebastian's concern. He recalled how sweet it was when they played together or when Dinda hugged him before bedtime. Now, as he sat in the meeting room, worry gnawed at his heart. Was Dinda okay? Had she regained consciousness?Each time the manager mentioned numbers or graphs, Sebastian could only nod without truly paying attention. Guilt began to creep in as he realized how much he had neglected time with his daughter for the sake of work. In the silence of the meeting room, his hope to return home and hug Dinda grew stronger.At that moment, he vowed to himself not to let work interfere with precious momen
Sebastian held Dinda’s hand tighter, trying to provide a sense of safety. In that moment, Sebastian resolved to protect his daughter from all fears. He wanted Dinda to know that she was not alone and that he would always be there for her."Everything that happened is over. Now, focus on Daddy. We will get through this together," he said softly, trying to give comfort.Dinda looked at her father, her eyes slightly calmer. Sebastian felt the burden on his chest lift a little, though worry still loomed. He would do anything to ensure that Dinda felt safe and loved. In that embrace of affection, he hoped to erase all the fears his daughter had experienced.Dinda tried to speak again, but her voice was very weak. Sebastian leaned down closer to hear her. "Daddy, I miss you..."Hearing those words, Sebastian felt his heart break. He could no longer hold back his tears. He gently kissed Dinda's hand, tears streaming down his face. "I miss you too, D
The doctor paused for a moment, taking a deep breath before speaking, while Rendy and Vina prepared to hear what would happen next. The silence in the waiting room felt as if it was waiting for an answer from an unpredictable fate."Guardian of Rachel," the doctor called, his voice firm yet caring.Rendy and Vina immediately stood up from their chairs and approached the doctor. Rendy introduced himself, "I'm her father," followed by Vina, "And I'm her mother. How is Rachel, Doctor?"The doctor looked at them. His expression showed that the situation was not easy. Rendy and Vina felt waves of tension increasing, every second feeling so precious.Slowly, the doctor began to provide details about the procedure that had been performed and Rachel's condition after the surgery. Rendy and Vina listened intently, hoping for some glimmer of hope in the words being shared.The doctor sighed, as if choosing his words carefully. "Rachel experienced s
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. "I just want to ensure Dinda receives the right care. I can't stand b
"Forgot?" The senior doctor raised his voice, creating a tense atmosphere in the room. "How could you overlook something like this? 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. "So, you mean, the wound was found during surgery, but I was not informed?" she asked sharply, her eyes fixed di
Sara couldn’t ignore the doubts that began to overshadow her thoughts about Rendy and their relationship. This uncertainty made her feel trapped, torn between trust in her partner and the growing worry.With each heartbeat, Sara was resolved to seek the truth—whatever might be revealed, she needed to know in order to protect Dinda and herself.But Sara brushed the thought aside. Sebastian was just trying to complicate her life, she thought stubbornly. Yet, the doubt continued to grow in a small corner of her heart.After ensuring Dinda was sleeping peacefully, Sara decided to find the doctor on duty who could explain the scar. She walked toward the doctor's office with firm steps. There, she found a nurse organizing the patient schedule."Excuse me, I want to see the doctor who is taking care of my daughter, Dinda," Sara said in a firm yet polite tone.The nurse looked at the schedule in her hand before responding, "I’m sorry, Mrs. S
Sara felt her heart ache at the anger and sadness on Dinda's face. She knew her daughter missed Daddy Sebastian very much, and her feelings were entirely valid. Although she tried to explain gently, Dinda still looked disappointed and confused.Sara reminded herself to be patient, trying to find a way to explain the situation better. She hoped to give Dinda understanding so her daughter could feel more at ease and not neglected. In her mind, she resolved to find the right time to talk to Dinda about her feelings and hopes.Sara took a deep breath, trying to hold back her emotions. "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. However, she also understood that Rendy might be facing
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!" Vina called with a trembling voice. She immediately walked up to him and hugged him tightly without hesitation."What happened?" Rendy asked urgently, although his voice sounded softer. He stroked Vina's back with a hand that tried to remain calm, even though he himself was on the verge of losing control.Vina took a deep breath, trying to hold back her tears. Rendy felt the tension in her body, and he grew more worried about Rachel's condition. In that embrace, he tried to provide strength to Vina, hoping to hea
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. Rendy looked restless, and I could sense that this situation might be related to something more significant than just personal issues."Sara," Rendy said, his voice somewhat tense. "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. Taking a deep breath, Sara tried to calm herself, but the urge to find out more grew stronger.She picked up her phone again, contemplating her next move. 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. "Maybe this is all just a coincidence.
