Beautiful Affair
BA #49 - Other Issues

"Al, there's something I want to talk to you about, honey" Daniel said softly to Alira, who is having dinner together at home.

Daniel wants to tell the truth about himself before Alira finds out from anyone else.

While Alira looked at Daniel with a frown and the look on her husband's face looked very serious, making Alira wonder what Daneil would tell her.

"Actually I .. I.. "Daniel's speech stopped when Alira's phone rang.

"I'm sorry, this is Linda's mother" Alira said then she answered a call from the house's mother.

"Hello, Mum...."

"What?" it was Alira's sudden strangulation that left Daniel confused.

"What's up, Al?" Daniel asked because Alira looked very anxious.

"Mother Linda went to the hospital, she .. she fell down the stairs," said Alira in a choked voice, hearing that Daniel was also surprised, especially he was also very close to Linda's mother all this time.

Without wasting any time, Alira and Daniel go to the hospital. Along the way Alira continued to cry as much as she could, let alone getting the news that Linda's mother was very critical.

"Don't cry, everything will be fine" consoled Daniel as he wiped Alira's tears with his left hand while his left hand remained on the steering wheel.

"I'm scared, Daniel. What if ... she's like my real mother, Daniel. I'm scared," said Alira.

"Nothing's gonna happen to her, Al. We just pray," said Daniel then he accelerated his car to the hospital.

.........

"What's? They're in the hospital?" Calista asked someone who was talking on the phone with her at the moment.

"Yes, it looks like they're seeing someone, they look anxious and panicked" replied a man from across the phone.

"Find out who's in the hospital, I need to know everything about Daniel" Calista said sharply.

"Okay, Madam."

Calista immediately threw the phone away angrily, his breath hunting. "I can't wait to destroy you all! Take my revenge on those of you who dared to harass me!"

.........

Daniel tried to calm Alira down, but Alira couldn't help her fear."He'll be fine, honey. Come, sit!" Daniel forces Alira to sit down and this time Alira listens to Daniel.

Jill who is one of the caretakers of the orphanage is also there, she also looks very anxious, especially the children of the orphanage since then continue to contact her to ensure the condition of Mother Linda.

Jill also told Alira that Linda's mother has been having headaches lately, and she seems to have fallen down the stairs due to dizziness.

"Why is it so long?" muttered Alira anxiously.

"Patience, Honey. I'm sure Miss Linda will be fine" Daniel said, rubbing Alira's shoulders gently, hoping it would provide a little peace for her.

Shortly after a Doctor comes out of the operating room, Alira and Jil come to him and find the Doctor with questions about the condition of Linda's mother.

"For the time being, I can't give you any certainty, ma'am. But keep praying that the patient is okay," said the doctor who made Alira immediately limp.

"Give him the best treatment, Doctor. He must survive!" Firm Daniel.

"We'll do our best, sir. We promise...."

.........

Meanwhile, Ryan really felt lost his spirit after Alira came home. And he kept thinking about Alira especially after he found out that Daniel's memory had returned which means, Daniel's original attitude was back.

Ryan is afraid that Daniel will again hurt Alira physically as before, and it is difficult for Ryan to believe in the promise of Daniel who will be a good husband considering that all this time his promise is only limited to words.

Ryan feels he is squeezed between Daniel and Alira, between his brother and his love.

"I have to go back and straighten this out" Ryan murmured. "If Alira is part of Daniel, then I am part of Alira. If Alira tells Daniel about our relationship, then it should be there, too" Ryan murmured reassuringly.

Ryan immediately contacted Nick and told Nick not to take on a new employment contract, Ryan would complete his existing contract and after that, he would return to Indonesia.
