Beautiful in pain

Hana’s fingers pressed against the thick glass that was cold enough to separate her and the baby who was fast asleep in the special room for newborns. The baby, what emotion she felt, was it really the baby that had been in her stomach all this time? Haechan still couldn’t believe it at all. Her eyes stared at the writing on the baby’s crib, she caught one that said ‘Mr. Vikrama’ on the small baby identification board there, the baby had not yet been named.

“Daddy-” she said in a voice that was still hoarse, her body could only sit in a wheelchair because she was still weak after the operation.

“Why Hana?” asked Jeffran who had been accompanying Hana to see the baby, Hana insisted on wanting to meet him even though she had only been awake for a few minutes because of the effect of the anesthetic that might have run out. Of course it will make Hana’s surgical wound painful, but Hana really wants to see her baby.

“Mommy and Adriel didn’t come? I didn’t see him at all.” Asked Hana, because the first thing she saw when he woke up was the figure of the father-in-law and Serran. She remembers very well how Jeffran and Serran’s expressions looked worried when they saw her who had just opened her eyes. Jeffran stayed in the hospital to monitor Hana’s condition, while Serran had to return home.

“Mommy and Adriel are at the police station. They are investigating the person who attacked the three of you in the front yard of the hospital, I still don’t know who that woman is. Bad for him.”

Hana’s memory returned to the shooting incident, it really shocked her. David, even Rita became a victim just for protecting herself.

“May I see David’s condition? Didn’t the operation go well? I really want to thank you for saving me and my baby.” Hana lowered her fingers that were stuck to the glass, now it was her turn to look at David’s condition. For Rita, Jeffran had told Hana that Rita was in the backyard of the hospital with her boyfriend.

“Daddy will take you”

Jeffran pulled Hana’s wheelchair slowly, gently pushed her to escort her to a different David room in a different building. Just when Hana was transferred to the common room, at the same David’s operation ended. David’s operation was successful, but unfortunately, David’s condition is still not said to be fine. He had to be monitored by monitors and hospital equipment, because the bullet hit one of his vitals.

Only Hana was in the room, Jeffran gave Hana time to accompany David inside.

The sound of the monitor monitoring David’s condition kept beeping, his chest was fitted with a device. In the abdomen and near the chest, there are surgical wounds that are still bandaged, two IV needles are stuck in his hand, which is hanging limply on the patient’s bed, one is red and the other is clear.

Sick.

Why does Hana’s chest hurt like this, she really feels an incredible pain. It was not on her stomach that there was a wound of implication, but her heart. It’s like being stuck nine to the inside, why should David?

“I’m sorry. I’m really sorry, do I always bother you?” Hana raised her hand slowly to hold David’s palm which felt a little cold. David didn’t respond at all.

The door to the room opened showing Rita who was entering the room with someone.

“Hana.” Called Rita softly as Farrell pushed her wheelchair in.

“Farrell… can you come out for a minute?” asked Rita but got a shake from her lover.

“If you want to talk to Hana, I’ll accompany you too.” Farrel pushed the wheelchair until it reached Hana, to maintain privacy. Rita’s lover walked away to maintain a safe distance.

Rita looked at Farrell who was leaning against the wall of the entrance to the room where David was being treated, he smiled slightly getting a code from Farrell to talk to Hana.

“Rita, are you okay? I’m sorry I put you in danger.” Hana said first.

Rita shook her head

“No Hana, I should be the one apologizing, I shouldn’t be you.” Rita looked down, not daring to look at Hana’s sad eyes. “You know who the two assailants who wanted to kill you were?” Rita asked.

“No, you never knew them at all. Could it be that these two are just strangers looking to harm me?”

“No Hana, if they’re strangers. How can we both come on time to save you? In fact we came before you.”

“So? Who are those two? I don’t think I’ve ever met either of them.”

Rita took a deep breath, strengthened the courage he had gathered earlier.

“She is Adriel’s lover, and the man who attacked you was her errand boy. We met Adriel and Vania before we got here, even David had an argument because he caught Adriel cheating on him. He almost threw a tantrum at Hana.”

“Don’t joke Rita”

“I’m not kidding Hana, do you know why David almost went berserk?”

Hana squeezed her hands which were above his thighs.

“Because he likes me? He doesn’t want me to know Adriel is having an affair?”

Rita shook her head.

“No, even more than that.”

“So, what?”

“He hates having the one he loves taken from him, and one more thing. He hates it when Adriel hurts you and the child in your womb.”

Hana was silent for a moment, what does that mean? His son? David’s son? Hana still couldn’t digest all the words that just came out of Rita’s mouth.

“Rita please don’t play with me, don’t lie to me. Why? Why did you say that?”

“Please Hana I didn’t lie to you at all. That night, that night. It was David who raped you, not Adriel.” Rita grabbed Hana’s palm she looked down and sobbed over Hana’s.”wo hands he was holding. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”

“Rita what do you mean? How did you find out that night? And how could it be David, obviously I heard Adriel’s friend calling his – name.” Hana said slowly, “don’t say that you Rita, say it’s not true.”

“I’m sorry, David did it that night. I came first at the location at that time I called Adriel who was looking for David who was drunk, at that time maybe you were looking at Adriel but not seeing David who was behind you. I’m sorry, I should have speak up then. I’m really sorry–hiks Hana please talk.”

Hana was silent so all this time? David? Why? Why should David? So that’s why he was so kind to her? That’s why he always looked after herself and the baby, only because of guilt for what he had done.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Rita please come out”

Rita suddenly lifted her face.

“Hana”

“Please come out right now”

“Hana I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I just found out that the man who became David’s victim that night was you.”

“Rita please come out right now!” Hana shouted a little at Rita because Rita didn’t want to take a step back.

“Rita, looks like Hana needs some time alone. Now your job is done,” Farrell pulled Rita’s wheelchair away. “On behalf of my lover, I apologize once again. But that night she called the ambulance and made sure you got to the hospital, excuse me.” Farrell pushed Rita’s wheelchair out of the room.

“Hiks–why. Why David? Why didn’t you tell me?” Hana’s tears immediately spilled out, she covered her face with both her palms.

“Are you just feeling sorry for me? So the kindness you’ve done to me is also a lie? Tell me David.” She said to David who was lying on the hospital bed.

Sick.

It really hurts, it even feels like it’s impossible. It’s like it’s not real, in fact she wants all of this just a dream.

“God, why does everything have to go round and round? I’m really tired, I’m already at my limit, hah– if it’s like this. I will speed things up.”

The door to the room opened, showing Hana who came out of David’s room.

“Hana, why you don’t call Dad?”

“It’s okay dad, I can do it myself.” She glanced at Rita and Farrell who were also still there. “Daddy, how is Adriel’s case going?”

Jeffran took a deep breath.

“This case will be investigated further, Tamara just called. For now Adriel will be detained in the police, and in one week Adriel will conduct a trial to determine whether he is guilty or not.”

Hanq nodded slowly. This time she looked at Rita who was looking at her as well with her eyes still red.

“Riya, can you accompany me somewhere.”

“Where? Farrell and I can accompany you, but. Aren’t you going nowhere right now?” the answer was quite excited because Hana asked her for help.

“Not now but the day after tomorrow.”

“Where do you want to go?”

“Court office”
