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. "SebastiLila 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
Sara looked at Rendy suspiciously. "Who was that?" she asked, trying to catch the nuance behind his awkward smile.Rendy gave a small smile, though he seemed uncomfortable. "From the office."Sara stared at him intently, sensing something was off. "If it’s important, you should answer it. You haven't been in the office for days. I’ll be fine here alone."Rendy shook his head, trying to reassure her. "I don't think it's important. Besides, I prefer to be here with you and Dinda."Hearing that, Sara felt a bit touched, but the tension within her remained. She appreciated Rendy's presence, but her worries about Dinda still overshadowed her. Outside the room, the sound of medical machines pulsed softly, creating an increasingly tense atmosphere.They both fell silent for a moment, absorbing the situation. Rendy tried to calm Sara, but the feeling of anxiety continued to haunt them. In her heart, Sara prayed that Dinda would recover soon and t
Sebastian paused for a moment, his brow furrowed. "What is Rendy doing here? And who is that in the wheelchair?" he thought. Curiosity began to creep into his mind. He stepped a little closer, trying to catch their conversation. In his heart, he felt uneasy. Maybe something important was happening, and he felt alienated from the information. Sebastian tried to calm himself down and pay closer attention, hoping to recognize the figure in the wheelchair. Was it someone he knew? Or was there a connection to Dinda that he might not know about? With every heartbeat, his curiosity grew, pushing him to find out more. When he was about to step closer to make sure, his phone suddenly vibrated. Andi, appeared on the screen. Sebastian stared at the screen hesitantly, but finally decided to answer the call. "Yes, Andi. What's up?" Sebastian asked while continuing to watch Rendy from a distance. "Sir, I just want to remind you, tomorrow
The next morning, Sebastian received news that Dinda would be moved to a VIP room because her condition had stabilized. Although Sara had not contacted him yet, Sebastian decided to return to the hospital. For him, every opportunity to be with Dinda was something he could not miss.He prepared himself and set off for the hospital. In his heart, he hoped to provide the support and encouragement Dinda needed to fully recover. Every step toward the hospital felt filled with hope, and Sebastian knew that his presence beside Dinda would mean a lot.Upon arriving at the hospital, Sebastian headed straight to the VIP floor. He saw several nurses busy moving Dinda from the intensive care unit to her new room. Dinda sat in a wheelchair, covered with a blanket, while Sara walked beside her, occasionally bending down to ensure Dinda was comfortable.When Sara saw Sebastian approaching, her face immediately stiffened. However, before she could open her mouth, Dinda ca
Vina could only nod slowly, unable to say anything more. The room felt so quiet, filled only with the sound of the beeping monitor."The doctor said she is stable," Rendy finally said, more to himself. "It's just a matter of time before Rachel wakes up.""But why hasn't she woken up yet?" Vina asked, her voice filled with fear. "Rendy, I’m scared... What if—""Don’t think like that," Rendy interrupted quickly. He held Vina's hand firmly. "We have to trust the doctors and Rachel. She will be okay."Vina could only cry softly, while Rendy stood by her, not letting her fall deeper into her anxiety. He tried to comfort Vina with his presence, providing silent support. Yet deep inside, he too was haunted by unspoken fears.Every passing second felt heavy, and the beeping monitor served as a constant reminder of the uncertainty they faced. Rendy felt the weight of responsibility as a father, along with the lurking fear of loss in
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
