Lara
It felt like I was floating without looking at the earth. Bima continued to lead and take me to the hospital where Papa was treated.
Why did Papa have a heart attack? Yesterday Papa was fine while I was staying. Is Papa Too Tired? It was impossible, Ditya helped Papa hold his company. In fact, Papa's company was much more advanced when held by Ditya's cold hand.
Is this because of Papa's will? Is this Aunt Sofie's doing?
"Ra! We have arrived. You want me to drop in the ER first?" ask Bima.
I just nodded weakly. There is no spirit in me. Papa's sick, then who will protect me someday?
I got out of the car and there was Ditya waiting for me in front of the hospital.
"Whatwhat? Why did Papa have a heart attack? Huaaa.... " Ditya pulled me in his arms. I'm crying over Papa.
"Calm down. Papa will be transferred to the ICU" Ditya said.
"What's? THE ICU?" papa's condition must have been severe to get into the ICU.
"Papa was unconscious. You want to see Papa? The mumps has not been moved to the ICU. The room is being prepared first."
I'm nodding. He then drove me to meet Papa. I saw Aunt Sofie crying while hugging Anggi who was also crying.
I don't believe their tears. False tears. I'll make the calculation that Papa came to nothing because of what they did!
I went inside and saw Papa's condition that had many hoses in his body. Inner me crying. I wanted to scream, cry as hard as I could, but I had to endure it.
I shut my mouth with both hands. Only tears kept dripping without me holding back.
Papa's...
Why does Papa have to be like this?
Who made Papa like this, Pa?
How is Lara living without Papa?
Who will defend and protect Lara?
Ditya came closer and hugged me tightly. I hid my face in his chest that was fielded. Which is now wet with my tears.
My crying is getting less powerful. A small sound started coming out of my mouth.
"Ra! It's Papa you're aware of!" ditya.
I let go of Ditya's embrace and approached Papa. I touched her hand which was beginning to wrinkle but still felt her warmth.
"Pa... Hix.... Papa is healthy? Papa must heal!" I said cheering Papa on.
"La...Ra. " said Papa weakly.
"Pa.... Papa has to fight Papa's pain. Papa has to heal for Lara's sake!" I said with a hiccup.
"Sorry.in Pa... Pa.." said Papa with all his might.
"No! Papa don't apologize. Papa has to prove to Lara that Papa is strong. Papa has to prove to Lara that Papa will be healed. Lara please, Pa...."
Tears dripping from Papa's eye peluhan. I want to hug Papa... I want to be near Papa.
"Pa... "
"I'm sorry... Ra..." Papa then breathed his last...
Papa's hand drooped no longer clasping my hand.
"Father! No. gabe... Papa don't go! DOCTOR! PLEASE DOCTOR!" I screamed with all my might.
Papa's heart machine sounds flat. Piiiiiipppppppppp....
With a run, the doctor came and performed a rescue action.
"Father! Papa's..... Papa needs to heal, Pa. Don't stay in Lara! Papa!" Ditya kept hugging me who was trying to rebel.
Aunt Sofie and Anggi go inside. "Why with Papa?" aunt Sofie asked worriedly.
"Papa... Drops. The doctor is doing a favor." answered Ditya.
"Based on the devil! You must have made Papa sick! You bad woman! What did you do to my dad?" I shouted to the point of making security come and had to get me out for making a fuss in the ER room.
I don't give a shit. I don't care that many eyes see me. I want my Papa! I want Papa!
Then the doctor checked out. I quickly let go of Ditya's embrace and ran to the doctor.
"What about my Papa? Papa's healed, right? Papa's okay, isn't Doc?" my ask while pulling the neck collar of his great white coat.
The doctor's face was sluggish. Seems regretful in him. "Please pardon. We have tried our best but Mr. Handaka's life has not been helped again!"
As I heard the sound of lightning in broad daylight, the news that was delivered to me really made me unable to believe it. Just now Papa was talking to me, just called my name but now Papa is gone.
Papa's....
Why is Lara alone in this world....
"Papa.... Don't stay in Lara, Pa...."
"Darling! The patient yes... " Disha hugged me back.
"Father! Huaaa.... Papa!" I cried roaring. I didn't even knowingly hit Ditya in the chest.
Then everything went dark and I can't remember what happened.

I woke up after a long sleep. It feels like nightmares still surround me. Why is everything white?
"Are you conscious, honey?" asked Ditya with a worried look. He was so attentive to me.
Then I remembered about Papa.
I sat down quickly and felt dizzy. My head was spinning and my reflexes were holding my painful head.
"You why? Still dizzy? Slowly awake. Don't force it!" said Ditya who now put a pillow behind my back so I could lean on.
I'm speechless. Then Papa's shadow died back in my mind. Tears came down and I cried again.
"Darling! Yes already. Patience. You have to take Papa. Let Papa calm down in nature. If you keep crying, who's gonna take Papa to his last funeral?" wheedle Ditya.
My mind has returned. Right what Ditya said. If I keep crying, who will take Papa to his final resting place?
I don't want those two demons driving Papa. I'm sure, Papa's departure because of the interference of the two of them. Look, I'm gonna find out and ask them to pay for what they're doing.
I wiped away the tears on my face and raised my face firmly. "I'll take Papa to his final resting place!"
Ditya smiled. "Well so. The Lara I know. Forget about your sadness and take your Papa with sincerity."
I nodded in agreement. Thankfully, there was Ditya beside me. Right now, my family only lives in Ditya. If there's no one, I don't know what will happen.
"Will you hug?" Ditya opened his arms wide.
Sure do...
I really need a hug beyond anything. I went into his arms and came back crying.
"Cry until satisfied. There's still an hour left and then we'll bring home for the next buried. You'd rather cry in my arms than cry in your Papa's tomb. Bring your Papa with sincerity in the heart, so that Papa you know that there is I who will take care of you!"
In my tears I am grateful. I thank you for having you as my husband, even though I know that you still hide a lot of things from me.
