LOGIN"Nona Lea, apa Anda yakin mau mendonorkan semua organ tubuh Anda?" "Iya, aku yakin." Setelah Lea mengatakan ini, dia tersenyum seperti sudah bebas. Dokter malah kaget dan membujuknya lagi, "Meski kanker Anda sudah mau masuk stadium akhir, asal Anda rawat inap dan melawan penyakit ini dengan semangat, mungkin bisa memperpanjang hidup Anda."
View MoreAlexander watches Kimbeerly who continues to flash her sweet smile as everyone cheers. Yes ... they had their wedding today. Everyone is happy and now it's time to prove that they love each other with a kiss. Alexander pulls Kimbeerly gently by the scruff of the neck and gives him a kiss which Kimbeerly kisses back.
Shouts and cheers of happiness filled the wedding hall as Alexander pulled away. They stared at each other before finally smiling. Alexander grasped Kimbeerly's fingers tightly and the girl continued to flash a charming smile.
"I will always love you."
Alexander turned to look at Kimbeerly who was smiling again after telling Alexander her feelings. Alexander only smiled slightly in return. He immediately took Kimbeerly to the front to entertain their guests who had arrived.
Alexander focused on the two visibly moved people in front of him. Kimbeerly's parents who were now smiling happily as their daughter and son-in-law came to see them after their recent change of status. Alexander revealed a faint smile after being in front of Kimbeerly's parents.
"Congratulations on your marriage, Kimbeerly, and Alexander. I'm so happy to see that you've officially become husband and wife." Victoria spoke while hugging her daughter affectionately her eyes also looking at Alexander beside her daughter.
Jeremy did not speak. He kept his eyes on his daughter who continued to show her big smile today. He did not expect that the only daughter in their family would have a partner now. Especially with Alexander who had known her briefly. Jeremy is not unhappy with his daughter's change in status, it's just that he feels it's too soon. Jeremy still wants to see Kimbeerly with him and be his child who is never far from them. Unfortunately, this is already the way.
"Daddy."
Jeremy revealed his smile with a simple nod. He welcomed his daughter into his warm embrace while feeling his heart slightly unwilling to let Kimbeerly go to Alexander. "Congratulations on your marriage, my beautiful daughter."
Kimbeerly nodded in response to her father's congratulations. She broke away and looked at her father who had just wiped away the tears that were about to come. "Don't cry, Dad. I'll be your daughter forever and I'm not going anywhere."
Jeremy shook his head. He hugged Kimbeerly back. "I'm just a little unwilling for the only daughter in the Libason family to have a partner now let alone leave home."
Alexander smiled wryly at Jeremy's words. His face was so calm but not with that eagle-eyed look. No one would notice how he was. Alexander was good at putting on a face and putting himself out there.
"Ehem!"
Alexander cleared his throat and then made Jeremy and Kimbeerly's hug break. The two stared at Alexander for a few moments before finally chuckling. Realizing that the new guy was offended by their conversation.
"Don't tell me you're jealous of that father and daughter, Alexander," Victoria commented on Alexander's expressions and mannerisms with a laugh.
Alexander smiled slightly. "It shouldn't be, but who knows about human feelings? I can't even control it from being jealous even though I know they are a father and son."
The three laughed in response to Alexander's words. The man knew how to make the atmosphere warm. Jeremy also always viewed Alexander as intelligent. The man never seemed to think but his words were always in line with what was happening. It was only natural that his daughter would be enamored with a man like this. Alexander was good at doing anything.
"Alright, alright. Forgive your father-in-law for not understanding your feelings. I will give my daughter to you," Jeremy said as he pulled away from Kimbeerly and gently pushed his daughter closer to Alexander.
"It's not your fault, Mr. Libason. It's my fault for not understanding that you are blood relatives which made me look ridiculous with my earlier remark. I'm sorry I offended you." Alexander said as he bowed his body slightly.
"Your parents didn't come, Alexander? I haven't seen them since the show started."
Alexander raised one eyebrow with a haggard face. Feeling guilty he said, "They apologized to me earlier for having to wait for a grandmother who was seriously ill in the hospital. I came with Father earlier but he very regretfully couldn't attend his own son's wedding because he had to go out of town. I'll call him later and they also sent their regards to you."
Victoria and Jeremy looked at each other. They found Alexander's words strange. Hardly any parent would want to ignore their child's big day, let alone their only child, and Alexander's words left them unsure of the truth.
"Alexander is telling the truth, Mom and Dad. They told me his apologies right before we got married and showed me how critical Alexander's grandmother was. His father was also on an important business trip and couldn't join us for the wedding. Although I was disappointed, I understood their situation." Kimbeerly said as she saw the look of disbelief on her parents.
Alexander. The man nodded in agreement with Kimbeerly's words while wearing a guilty look on his face. Those eyes continued to scrutinize Jeremy and Victoria's faces. It was obvious they still didn't believe what Kimbeerly had said but tried to cover it up with a faint smile. Alexander smiled sarcastically and then turned his gaze in another direction.
Meanwhile, Kimbeerly saw Alexander avert his eyes, sensing that he was covering up his sadness. She stroked Alexander's arm, intending to soothe the man from his discomfort and the current awkward atmosphere. Alexander turned his head back and revealed a faint smile to Kimbeerly.
"Well, Mother...Father...I have to welcome some friends and guests. Thank you in advance for congratulating me and approving our relationship. You guys mean so much to me whenever and wherever. I thought I would have to live with these two great parents, but instead, I turned to Alexander for the future. Your daughter is such a brat."
Jeremy and Victoria looked at each other before finally laughing. They nodded their approval to Kimbeerly and afterward, Kimbeerly led Alexander to one of the tables where her friends were gathered and enjoying the meal.
"Congratulations on your marriage, Kimbeerly. I can't believe you're finally following in my footsteps."
Kimbeerly responded with a smile to what one of her friends said.
"Moreover, your man is very handsome and looks... authoritative," another said.
"The innocent Kimbeerly will no longer exist after their first night."
Everyone around laughed at one person's joke. Instead, Kimbeerly looked away with her flushed face as well as Alexander who looked ordinary. As if he didn't care what Kimbeerly's friends said and was busy with his thoughts.
The vibrations of the phone brought Alexander to his senses. He looked at his phone briefly and then whispered something to Kimbeerly. The girl looked glum for a moment before nodding in agreement.
"I won't be long, Baby." Alexander said back in a whisper to calm Kimbeerly down.
Alexander left immediately. Leaving Kimbeerly with her friends who also seemed curious about what the man would do to leave his wife alone. Kimbeerly was only able to see Alexander's departure and tried to divert her sadness by joking with her friends.
"I don't think your husband is a man of longevity."
Kimbeerly felt offended by one of her friend's remarks but she replied with a quiet shake of her head. "She has plenty of time, it's just that maybe it's more important."
Kimbeerly's friends stared at each other with a curiosity they couldn't bring themselves to express. Let it be a secret to themselves and then it was gone.
"Where are you, idiot? I've been waiting for you since an hour ago."
Alexander put his phone away as soon as the shrill sound of shouting hit his ears. He cleared his throat briefly and then began to speak. "Why are you waiting for me? I didn't promise to pick you up if you forgot. You bastard!"
"What?! Did you forget your own words? Men like to break promises. Just tell me if you're reluctant to see me and prefer your new job."
Satu keluarga itu berkendara ke utara. Masih ada waktu sebelum hari pernikahan, jadi mereka sambil berjalan sambil berwisata. Saat kuliah dulu, Lea sangat iri pada teman-teman yang bisa bepergian ke mana-mana karena sebagai anak yatim piatu, ia hanya bisa bertahan hidup dengan susah payah.Walaupun hubungannya dengan Maybell sangat baik, Lea tetap merasa tidak enak hati menerima ajakan jalan-jalan yang sepenuhnya ditanggung orang lain.Kondisi tubuh Lea sudah pulih dengan baik. Saat melewati provinsi yang terkenal dengan pegunungan, Berg juga mengajak Seline dan dia mendaki gunung. Walaupun prosesnya sangat melelahkan, tetapi ketika berdiri di puncak, mereka merasa sangat lega dan lapang.Rasanya seperti kehidupan baru yang dijalaninya selama setengah tahun terakhir.Setelah tiba di ibu kota, Brielle dengan antusias menjemput mereka ke vila kecil yang mereka beli dengan cara mencicil. Selama beberapa tahun terakhir, Gino bekerja sebagai sales di perusahaan Aaron dan kariernya berkemban
"Belum secepat itu. Dokter menyarankan agar aku tetap tinggal di ibu kota selama setengah bulan lagi. Kalau hasil pemeriksaan ulang nggak ada masalah, barulah bisa dibilang sembuh."Aaron mengangguk pelan.Tatapan Aaron terus jatuh di wajah Lea, seolah tidak pernah merasa bosan melihatnya. Ia menatap dengan ekspresi sedih dan murung, seakan ingin mengukir wajah itu dalam-dalam. Lea mengulurkan tangan, menarik tangan Aaron yang mengenakan jam, lalu perlahan membuka pengaitnya dan memandangi luka yang mengerikan itu.Seakan sisi dirinya yang paling buruk terbuka di hadapan gadis itu. Pada saat itu, Aaron justru merasa takut. Aaron ingin menarik kembali tangannya, tetapi Lea menggenggam erat pergelangannya. Tatapan matanya terasa nyata, panasnya seolah membakar sampai ke tulang."Kenapa kamu melakukan ini?""Karena aku membenci diriku sendiri," ucap Aaron lirih. "Kalau bukan karena aku, selama ini kamu nggak akan menderita sebanyak ini."Lea tersenyum dan melepaskan genggamannya."Aaron,
Kakak perempuan Berg dulu meninggalkan posisinya yang dengan susah payah ia raih tanpa ragu sedikit pun, lalu pergi bergabung dengan militer dan menjadi dokter tentara. Ia tidak peduli meski harus memutuskan hubungan dengan keluarganya. Brielle selalu menganggap kakaknya sangat berani, jadi ketika mendengar kabar kematian sang kakak, Brielle merasa sedih untuk waktu yang cukup lama."Kakakku memilih jadi dokter tentara karena suaminya adalah seorang tentara. Seline adalah anak mereka. Nggak lama setelah suaminya meninggal, Seline pun dititipkan padaku."Barulah sekarang Brielle tahu kebenarannya. Mendengar kisah seberat itu membuat hatinya ikut sedih. Ia melirik ke arah Seline yang sedang diam berbaring di samping Lea di ruang rawat."Sekarang, Lea sudah merawat Seline dengan sangat baik, bukan?" Berg tersenyum ringan. "Nggak perlu merasa kasihan padanya. Sekarang, dia sudah punya ibu yang sangat baik dan ke depannya juga akan punya ayah yang baik, yaitu aku. Meskipun Seline mungkin su
Brielle memandang sisi rapuh yang diperlihatkan oleh Aaron dengan bingung. Entah kenapa, dia benar-benar tidak ingin melihat Aaron yang begitu sedih dan putus asa. Dia terdiam sejenak, lalu berkata, "Mungkin kata-kataku ini agak lancang, Pak Aaron, tapi apa Anda pernah berpikir untuk menjelaskan semuanya dengan baik pada Kak Lea? Apa mungkin Seline adalah anak Anda?""Bukan." Aaron tersenyum pahit dan menggelengkan kepala. "Andai saja memang begitu."Brielle masih terlalu muda. Dia tidak bisa memahami betapa dalamnya penderitaan dan penyesalan yang tersembunyi di balik helaan napas itu, penyesalan yang akan dibawa Aaron sepanjang hidupnya dan yang takkan pernah bisa dia maafkan pada dirinya sendiri."Patah tulang," ucap dokter setelah membuat diagnosa awal terhadap cedera Aaron, lalu melirik wajahnya. "Kamu masih demam, ya?"Dokter mengulurkan tangan untuk meraba dahinya, tetapi Aaron dengan sopan menahan tangan itu. Dia tahu demamnya disebabkan oleh penyalahgunaan obat dini hari tadi
"Kak!" Terdengar teriakan panik Brielle dari arah tangga. Suaranya bergetar seperti sedang menangis. Dia berlari sambil menggendong Seline yang jelas-jelas sudah pingsan. "Kak, Seline tiba-tiba pingsan!""Tenang," kata Berg dalam hati meski pikirannya kosong. Dia menatap Brielle yang kehabisan tenaga sampai berlutut di depannya serta Seline yang wajahnya merah dan tidak sadarkan diri, sambil terus mengulang dalam hati, "Aku harus tetap tenang."Aaron sepertinya memang belum pergi dari sekitar situ. Begitu mendengar teriakan Brielle, dia langsung berjongkok dan memperhatikan wajah Seline yang merah padam. "Brielle? Jangan menangis! Ini rumah sakit. Ayo, ikut aku ke bagian IGD!""Brielle." Berg membuka pakaian bagian perut Seline dan melihat ruam merah besar di sana. Tiba-tiba dia sadar. "Kamu tadi ajak Seline makan apa?"Kakak perempuan Berg memiliki riwayat alergi, tetapi sebelumnya Seline tidak pernah menunjukkan gejala alergi terhadap apa pun. Karena itu, Berg dan Lea tidak terlalu w
Semalam, Aaron bermimpi buruk. Mimpi yang terasa sangat tidak menguntungkan. Saat cahaya pagi baru mulai muncul, dia pun terbangun. Di luar jendela dinginnya seperti sedang melewati zaman es, suhu musim hujan yang puluhan derajat di bawah nol. Dia membuka jendela, membiarkan hujan jatuh membasahi dirinya tanpa ampun.Seolah-olah itu adalah bentuk hukuman untuk dirinya sendiri.Aaron sangat iri pada Berg. Berg bisa berdiri di sisi Lea dengan terang-terangan, menemaninya melewati berbagai masa sulit, dan membesarkan seorang anak yang manis dan menggemaskan bersama. Itu adalah impian yang sangat dia dambakan saat masih muda, tetapi sekarang sudah mustahil terwujud.Dalam mimpinya, bibir lembut yang pernah Aaron cium berkali-kali, kini mengucapkan kata-kata dingin dan penuh penolakan."Aaron, kamu mau membuatku mati untuk kedua kalinya, ya? Kalau kamu mendekat lagi, aku nggak akan menjalani operasi ini.""Seperti keinginanmu, aku akan mati sekali lagi di depanmu."Wajah Aaron tampak pucat.
