Bugh...
"Excuse me, Sir, I didn't mean to, excuse me." The woman immediately left after apologizing without looking at who she had just bumped into.
The man was still staring intently at the woman who kept running until she was no longer in sight.
"Go after that woman!" his assistant ordered the bodyguard who was accompanying their young master, but at that moment, the man raised his hand, indicating that there was no need to chase the woman.
"No need!" They followed what the man said. They continued their steps into the mall.
"Are you alright, Sir?"
"Her petite body couldn't possibly hurt me. Don't overreact, Raka!" His assistant, upon hearing his words, didn't ask any further.
"Yes, young master." It didn't take long for them to reach their destination store.
"It's unusual for you to personally search for something like this, Sir?" said his assistant, curious about his superior, who suddenly went out of his way to find a gift like this for his loved one.
"This is a gift for Grandma, so I have to find it myself," he replied. They arrived at the store, and Raka immediately told the clerk to get his master's order. Without waiting any longer, the store clerk immediately took it and placed it in front of the man. The man began to look at the diamond necklaces in front of him, which had 3 choices.
"Wrap them all up." Without daring to answer out loud, the store clerk nodded and immediately did as the man asked. Previously, the clerk had been told by their supervisor that Willen's only son would be visiting their store. Their boss told all the employees to serve the young master Willen well and without error, because he was not in the country.
"Here you go, Sir." The clerk placed the box of diamond necklaces, now wrapped, back down. The man immediately took the package of diamond necklaces, which he would later give to his grandmother. They immediately left the place, followed by his assistant and several bodyguards behind him.
That evening was his grandmother's 70th birthday celebration, which was being held at one of the Willen family's hotels. The event invited all of their business guests from various countries. Actually, his grandmother didn't want the party, but Mommy Sofia wanted the celebration to be held. After much family deliberation, finally, the entire Willen family agreed to hold the party.
"Young master, do you need anything?" asked Raka Rasdian, the young master's assistant. Hearing no answer from his master, Raka immediately understood and drove his car towards the hotel where Oma Rosita would be celebrating her birthday.
It didn't take long for them to arrive there; the hotel staff there immediately bowed their bodies upon knowing the presence of the only son of the Willen family entering the hotel area. No one dared to raise their eyes because they had been instructed not to look at the young master; if they did, they would have to deal with the young master's personal bodyguards. The man arrived at the back room to see his mother.
"Where have you been, son?" Mommy Sofia asked, inquiring about her son's whereabouts.
"I had some business to take care of, Mom. Where is everyone else?" he said, then asked about his family.
"They're already gathered inside; the event will start soon. Let's go in." Mommy explained, linking her arm with her son's and walking together into the ballroom where Oma's birthday party was being held.
Not long after, invited guests began to arrive in the room. Ten minutes later, the event officially began.
At a hospital.
A young doctor named Devita Permatasari was wiping away her tears, which kept flowing. Her heart ached as she remembered the events of 3 hours ago that she had witnessed and knew the truth about. Devita had just found out about her lover's infidelity with his stepmother's niece.
Flashback.
"Tino....!" The man stiffened and immediately released his arms from around the woman beside him.
"D..Devita..!" the man exclaimed in shock.
"What is this, Tino?" The man was speechless. He immediately approached Devita, but the woman beside him stopped him.
"Hey, you, he's already my boyfriend. He doesn't want you anymore," said the shameless woman.
"What are you talking about..." Tino said, annoyed at the woman.
"Devita, listen to me. You misunderstood...!" said Tino.
Devita's chest pounded as she held back her emotions, hearing the woman's words and Tino saying it wasn't what she saw. She clearly saw Tino being intimate with the woman for the past five minutes. She had deliberately watched their intimacy, wanting to confirm what she had seen.
"You're saying it's not what I saw?! Then what was that just now? You even kissed her cheek, hugged her, huh.. You're so mean, Tino. If you don't want to be in this relationship anymore, just ask me to break up properly, not like this. You even cheated on me with her!!" shouted Devita angrily, wiping away her tears.
"Devita..." Devita raised her hand to stop Tino from speaking any more nonsense.
"Okay, this is your choice! From this moment on, we are through... I hate your betrayal, Tino..!" shouted Devita before immediately leaving Tino without caring that Tino was calling her.
"Where are you going? Are you going after her! You already said you would be with me and break up with her. Don't go after her..." his mistress snapped. Tino even obeyed what the woman said to him.
Flashback Off
Oma Rosita's birthday party had begun so festively. They had just finished blowing out the candles on the large birthday cake in front of them. Now it was time for the gift-giving from her grandchildren and other family members. The Willen extended family had 3 grandchildren, but only one was male, the son of Mommy Sofia, while the other 2 were the children of her brother. His two granddaughters were already married and had followed their husbands to live in their husbands' home countries.
Now it was the turn of Mommy Sofia's son to come forward and give his gift to his grandmother.
"This is for you, Oma..." He opened the box of diamond necklaces, which contained a very beautiful necklace.
"Wow... It's so beautiful, my grandson.." The man took one of the diamond necklaces and put it around his grandmother's neck.
"Grandma looks so beautiful, Oma..?" exclaimed his two cousins, as well as the rest of the family. Oma Rosita held the cheeks of her grandson who gave her the necklace.
"Thank you, my most handsome grandson. Oma really likes the gift from you, boy.." Being his usual stiff self, he only nodded his head slightly towards his grandmother. As usual, they all just exchanged glances, observing the demeanor of the young master of the Willen family.
The event continued with inviting the guests to enjoy the food that had been prepared. But without them realizing, Oma was clutching her chest and wincing.
"Oma..., are you alright, Oma?" The man asked. Oma immediately clung to the man and began to complain of chest pains.
"My... my chest hurts, boy.." Hearing this, her grandson immediately picked up his grandmother and took her outside, surprising all the family and people there. All the family members followed the man.
"To the hospital!!" the man shouted. The car carrying Oma immediately sped towards the hospital.
"Faster Raka!" he yelled seeing Oma Rosita continuously groaning in pain. Raka immediately sped up their vehicle.
"B...boy...O...Oma.." Oma Rosita immediately fell unconscious.
"Oma...wake up Oma...,Oma..." The man continued trying to wake his grandmother up by gently patting both of her cheeks, but Oma did not open her eyes again.
He is Dafanuel Anderson Willen, the young master of the Willen family, the youngest grandchild.
"No! No! Oma wake up...!! Don't leave Dafa, Oma... Wake up Oma..!!" Raka, hearing Dafa's yelling while still patting his grandmother's cheek, immediately stopped their car on the side of the road. He also felt sad hearing his boss's first cry and sobs. Not long after, Mommy Sofia's entourage arrived, Mommy immediately went towards Dafa's car and opened it.
"Oma, mom..." Mommy was immediately shocked, she rushed to her mother's side.
"Mommy, Mommy...it's Sofia...mommy...open your eyes, mommy...mommy...no...Mommy..." whispered Mommy into the ear of Mommy Rosita, who was unconscious at that time. Mommy immediately started crying hysterically while continuously calling out to Oma Rosita, her other family members also cried along.
From the opposite direction, Devita, who was still shrouded in heartache due to her disappointment with Tino, was distracted by the sight of a convoy of cars stopped on the side of the road. Devita stopped her car then opened her window, she saw them and vaguely heard someone crying loudly from the car in front of her. Feeling moved, as a doctor, Devita thought maybe someone was sick. Devita got out of her car and immediately ran towards the car.
"Excuse me, what happened, Sir?" Devita asked. The bodyguard Devita asked, seeing her still in her doctor's coat, took the initiative.
"Are you a doctor?" he asked.
"Yes, I am a doctor," Devita replied.
"Miss, please help our Master quickly.." The bodyguard immediately brought Devita closer to Raka.
"Sir, this lady is a doctor, maybe she can help examine Madam." Hearing that, Raka immediately approached Devita.
"Please examine our Madam, she is unconscious. Come on, quickly." Raka took Devita closer to Dafa, Mommy Sofia, and the others.
"Madam, please allow this doctor to examine Madam." They all heard that there was a doctor at that time, and immediately made way for Devita to approach the inside of Dafa's car.
"Please save my mother, doctor..." Mommy Sofia pleaded, crying.
"Let me examine her first, can you all step back a little to give this Madam some air." They all immediately followed what Devita said.
Devita approached Dafa, who was holding Oma Rosita.
"Excuse me, Sir," Devita said, asking permission from Dafa, who did not respond to her words. Devita began to check Oma Rosita's pulse, then checked her heartbeat, and fortunately, it was still there but very weak.
"Sir, can this Madam lie down, I will try to normalize her heartbeat, she is still alive." Hearing that, Dafa looked towards Raka, signaling him to convert the seats in the car into a wide bed. Raka immediately transformed the car into a spacious bed. Dafa once again carried his grandmother inside and gently laid her down.
"Please, Sir, take the bag, oxygen cylinder, and IV drip from the white car parked across the street, quickly bring them here!" Devita requested. Dafa's men immediately retrieved the items from Devita's car and brought them closer to her. Devita immediately took out her equipment to check Oma's heartbeat, which had become very weak. Devita tried several times, and on the fifth attempt, she was relieved, she was able to stabilize Oma Rosita's heartbeat even though it was still weak.
"Phew..." A sigh of relief escaped Devita's lips, she then put on the oxygen mask over Oma Rosita's nose and mouth, after that, she put in the IV drip in Oma's hand. After everything was done, Devita went out to meet Oma Rosita's family.
"Madam, I was able to save her." Mommy Sofia and Dafa, upon hearing that, were immediately overjoyed, and so were the others.
"She needs to be taken to the hospital immediately, it's possible that Madam is experiencing a narrowing of the heart, making her short of breath and she may have had a heart attack. If I had arrived any later, she might not have been saved." Devita explained further. Mommy Sofia immediately approached Devita and hugged her.
"Thank you, doctor, thank you for saving my mother..." Mommy Sofia sobbed as she hugged Devita, expressing her gratitude.
"You're welcome, Madam...Quickly take your mother to the hospital because the oxygen tank I installed is running low." Devita said. Hearing that, Dafa told Raka to immediately get in the car and take Oma directly to the hospital. Without a word, Dafa immediately pulled Devita's hand, making her get back into the car. Soon, the car sped off at a moderate pace, followed by the cars behind them.
"Sir, my car..."
"My men will bring it to you!"
Devita didn't dare to speak anymore because Dafa's words sounded so intimidating to her.
Devita took out her phone and called her younger sibling, telling him that she would be home late.
It didn't take long for them to arrive at the hospital, which happened to be where Devita worked. On Dafa's orders, Oma was immediately taken to the VVIP room.
"You have to take care of my grandmother...!" Dafa commanded.
"Y...yes, Sir," Devita replied nervously, then immediately began her work as a doctor. She started attaching equipment to Oma Rosita's body. 20 minutes later, all the equipment was properly installed.
"Sir, the VVIP room is Dr. Hendra's area. I've done my job, Dr. Hendra will monitor your grandmother's health from now on." Devita explained.
"So you're a doctor here too?" Mommy Sofia asked.
"Yes, Madam," Devita replied.
"You're the one who will treat my grandmother!" Dafa demanded to Devita.
"What my son said is true, doctor, why not you be the one treating my mother?" Mommy Sofia added.
"I'm sorry, Sir, Madam... I'm a junior doctor at this hospital, and we only follow the hospital's rules. You don't have to worry about Madam's condition, she'll be fine. Dr. Hendra will explain everything about her condition to you later. With that, I'll excuse myself, Sir... Madam." Devita bowed her body and left the room.
"Raka... Is it true that my hospital has such a rule?" Dafa asked coldly, staring at his assistant.
"That's right, young master. For VIP and VVIP rooms, only senior doctors who have been working here for a long time can handle the patients, young master. For the general and regular class, it's the newer doctors, young master," Raka explained, confirming the information Devita had given earlier.
"Give me that woman's data tomorrow morning..!"
"Yes, young master," Raka replied.
Dafa then entered his grandmother's room.
Outside, Devita headed to her room to wash her hands.
"Huh... I thought you went home, doctor?" Dr. Randi was surprised to see Devita back at the hospital.
"I came back to bring a sick person from the street, doctor. Excuse me," she said, and Dr. Randi nodded, then immediately entered her room. Meanwhile, Dr. Randi continued with his work.
After washing her hands, Devita got ready to return home because she felt sorry for her younger sibling who must have been waiting for her at home.
Devita left the hospital and drove her vehicle towards her house. 15 minutes later, she arrived home. Devita opened the door, went inside, and immediately headed to the kitchen to put away the food her sibling had ordered.
"Dika..., Sis is home, Dika.."
Hearing his sister's voice, Dika immediately came out of his room to meet her.
"Why are you late coming home, Sis?" Dika asked, sitting at the dining table, watching his sister prepare food for the two of them.
"Sis was helping someone who was sick on the road, so Sis went back to the hospital to take them there," explained Devita, finishing putting all the food she had brought into bowls.
"Let's eat..., Sis bought the grilled chicken you ordered..." Devita took the grilled chicken, placed it on a plate, and gave it to her younger sibling.
"Thank you, Sis.." said Dika, receiving the plate of food from his sister. Devita smiled, stroking her sibling's head.
"You're welcome..." Devita sat down opposite her sibling and ate with him. Not long after, Dika suddenly stopped eating, making Devita raise her eyebrows.
"Why did you stop eating..?" Devita asked, also stopping her meal. Dika got down from his chair, approached his sister, hugged her, and cried.
"I miss Mom, Sis..." he whispered. Devita's heart ached again, hearing her sibling's words. She gently rubbed his back and kissed his head.
"Mom is just in a different place from us, Dika, but Dika needs to know that Mom is always with us and sees what Dika and Sis are doing now. Don't be sad, remember Mom will also be sad to see Dika sad like this.." Devita said, comforting her sibling who missed their mother, who had passed away three months ago due to illness.
"Why is Dad so mean to us, Sis? I hate Dad so much..!" Dika's words made Devita's heart ache again, not like remembering her mother's departure, but the pain of hating their father. Before the ground on their mother's grave had dried, their father immediately remarried his secretary, who turned out to be the reason why their mother slowly fell ill and eventually died because their mother had long known about the affair.
"Let's eat again, okay? Don't think about Dad. You still have Sis with you.." Devita held her sibling's cheeks and kissed all over his face.
"As long as Sis is still here, Sis won't let anyone hurt you." Dika immediately hugged his sister again.
"Me too, Sis, Dika will protect Sis.." he replied.
"Yes.., let's eat again so you can grow up quickly, go to school and be smart, little brother, make Sis proud. Okay..!" Dika let go of his sister's hug and nodded.
"Yes, Sis" Dika returned to his seat and continued eating. Seeing that, Devita smiled and continued eating as well.
"Mom, rest assured, I will take care of Dika as I promised you, Mom. I will be a reliable older sister to my little brother, Mom."
Devita expressed in her heart as she put food into her mouth.
The two of them moved out of their father's house because they did not agree with their father's marriage. How could Devita accept it when only one month after their mother's passing, their father came home with his secretary and said they were getting married because his secretary was pregnant. This made Devita very angry and she had a big fight with her father. Seeing her father defend his new wife instead of them, Devita immediately decided to leave the house, taking her six-year-old sibling with her. Devita didn't want to leave her sibling with their stepmother, afraid that her sibling would suffer the same fate as her friend's sibling who was abused by their stepmother.
Before her death, their mother told her that she had savings and gave them to her. Thankfully, Devita was already working at a renowned hospital in their city, which was none other than the hospital owned by the Willen family, three months before her mother passed away.
She took her sibling to find a house not far from her workplace and her sibling's school. Thanks to the savings their mother had saved for her and her sibling, Devita and her sibling were finally able to buy the house they were currently living in.
"Oh yeah, Sis, I almost forgot... the day after tomorrow, there's a singing competition at my school. The teacher said parents are required to attend the event, Sis.." he said, informing his sister.
"Oh yeah..?, What time does it start?" Devita asked while chewing her food.
"8 o'clock, Sis. Can you come to school with me..?" Dika asked his sister to come to school during the competition.
"Of course, Sis will come. I'll ask for permission not to go to work in the morning to accompany you, okay?" Devita said, stroking her sibling's head with a smile.
"Yay, cool... Yes, Sis..." Dika said happily. Seeing her sibling's excitement, Devita was also happy.
Five minutes later, the two of them finished their dinner.
Dika was now watching TV in the living room, while Devita was still washing the dirty dishes and their dirty clothes. Devita always did everything at night because in the morning she had to leave early for the hospital and also take her sibling to school.
"Have you finished your homework, Dika..?" Devita asked her sibling.
"Yes, Sis..." he replied, his eyes fixed on watching his favorite cartoon.
"That's good. Sis is going to take a shower now.."
"Okay, Sis.." Dika replied, still in the same position.
Devita entered her room and went to the bathroom.
Devita had just finished showering and immediately got dressed. At the same time, her phone rang.
"Hello, Nat..?" Devita answered while applying her night cream.
"Aren't you on duty tonight...?" asked Nata, a fellow doctor and friend.
"No, Nat, this week I'm on the morning to evening shift. Oh yeah, since you called. Can we switch tomorrow? I still want to attend my sibling's competition at school in the morning, Nat.. Is that okay..?" Devita asked for help from her friend.
"Easy..., don't worry about it... Oh.. I want to ask you something. If I'm not mistaken, one of the doctors here helped the grandmother of Mr. Willen, the owner of this hospital, Dev..." Devita's heart skipped a beat. She suddenly remembered that she had helped an elderly woman earlier. Indeed, from their clothes, they didn't look like ordinary people. Don't tell me the person I helped earlier was the same person, thought Devita to herself.
"Devitaaa!!"
"Aaa.. Sorry-sorry.." Devita snapped out of her thoughts, hearing Nata's shout.
"You..! You're always like this... Did you hear what I just said..?" Nata was annoyed because Devita took a long time to process information.
"It was me!" Devita's answer made Nata, who was drinking, choke on her drink.
"What did you just say, Dev...?"
"I was the one who helped that grandma, Nata. I was about to go home when I saw some luxury cars parked on the side of the road. I heard someone crying, right? As a doctor, my heart was moved, so I helped them and then immediately took them to the hospital. VVIP room 1, right?" Devita explained to her friend.
"You're crazy, Dev... I'm proud of you. They're the family who owns the hospital we work at, Dev," said Nata, proud of her friend's quick response as a doctor.
"As a doctor, even if it's a sick scavenger, I would still help them if they're that sick.." Devita said.
"You're right, Dev... I have to go, I need to work. Bye.." said Nata, ending the call with Devita. Devita finished applying her body lotion and then went out to the laundry area to hang their clothes there. After that, she approached her sibling and joined him in watching TV while chatting.
