With Bima's approval, Aiden's surgery could be carried out immediately.
No matter how much money he had to spend on this, Bima just wanted his son back. He brought in the best doctors from abroad specifically to perform it, ensuring that the surgery could run smoothly.
He spent hours waiting in front of the operating room, hoping that after leaving that cold room, Aiden would open his eyes and come back with them.
However, his hope could never come true.
Even though he had brought in the best doctors with the best hospital and the best medicine, fate said differently.
Aiden's condition was still the same as before.
What else should they do to wake Aiden from his sleep?
Black clouds seemed to envelop the Atmajaya Family when their son hadn't regained consciousness.
Meanwhile, Keara was hiding outside the country and recovering after being shot in the leg during the competition.
She purposely fled when the Atmajaya family was busy thinking about Aiden and Anya's condition. All her plans had failed and Anya was still alive. The man she loved was injured instead and he hadn't woken up since.
In Keara's mind, all of this was Anya's fault. One day, she would return to destroy her.
But in the meantime, she would have to hide first until things were much calmer.
In contrast to Keara who still had time to run away, Natali's fate was not very good. After the shooting incident, she was sent back to a mental hospital. Her mental state worsened as she returned to the place where she had been confined for two years.
Inside the mental hospital, Natali heard the news that Anya was alive. Meanwhile, she didn't have a chance to get out of the mental hospital again because she had used her last chance to breathe free to harm others.
Finally, Natali decided to end her life and commit suicide. She couldn't live in a mental hospital miserably while Anya was still fine out there.
So in the end, she used the shortcut to get her freedom back.
Deny buried his daughter in a simple way. The funeral was held behind closed doors so that no media could come to cover.
It was true that he could not properly educate his daughter, and so he failed miserably as a father.
But still, Natali was his daughter.
At the very least, he wanted to take his daughter to her final place in peace.
Now, he didn't have any daughter anymore. The only one he had was Anya.
The child he had abandoned once was all he had in this life. But after he wanted to make amends and improve his relationship with Anya, Deny found out that she was not his daughter.
Perhaps, all of this was punishment for all of his actions.
Even so, he remained on good terms with Anya. He came several times to visit Anya or ask about her condition.
He met Diana once while visiting Anya.
At that time, Diana scolded him and berated him because Deny had failed as a parent and spoiled Natali too much. Deny loved her daughter so much that he tried to help her get out of the mental hospital, without thinking about the possible consequences.
Deny could only help Natali to get out of trouble, without being able to help her to be a better person.
However, it was pointless to cry over spilt milk now.
Even if their hearts were burning with anger, they could not turn back the clock.
They could only hope and pray that Aiden would wake up soon.
They hoped their family would be whole again
...
Today was the 12th week of Anya's pregnancy. She had gone through a dangerous period in her early months. Her baby got stronger everyday and it grew healthily.
But somehow that day, Anya was not feeling well. Since waking up, she felt incredibly nauseous. She couldn't even eat her breakfast. Her body was a little burning and her head felt a little dizzy.
She asked Tara to check her condition and Tara suggested that she stay in the hospital just in case.
Finally, she decided to take Tara's advice.
But before that, she took the time to visit Aiden first as usual. Quite unusually, Anya didn't have the energy to chat with Aiden today.
She felt so weak that when she was in Aiden's room, she could only lean her head on the side of the bed while closing her eyes.
Even though she couldn't talk much today, at least she wanted to feel her husband's warmth.
She used Aiden's big hand to support the side of her head, as if she wanted to feel the big hand hugging her again.
It was at times like this that Anya missed Aiden so much.
At times she felt helpless. At times she felt very weak.
At times like that, Aiden would always be there to support her. He would always be by her side…
Anya stayed in that position for about an hour and felt her body stiffen. Even though she had taken the medicine, her body was still heating up and she felt so letarghic. Finally, she decided to immediately return to her room.
After Anya returned to her room, Nico and Harris came to accompany Aiden. Meanwhile, Maria and Nadine visited Anya first to make sure her condition was fine.
They chatted for a while until Anya felt tired and sleepy. After Anya fell asleep, Maria and Nadine decided to leave her room, allowing Anya to rest without any disturbance.
After that, they decided to follow Nico and Harris to Aiden's room.
His family would come every day to accompany him, even if he hadn't opened his eyes yet.
Nico would come to him and complain about company matters. He always said that he was tired of work and wanted to go on vacation. However, for the sake of his uncle, he was willing to work hard so that the Atmajaya Group did not go bankrupt. Without Aiden, he couldn't vacation in peace.
When Nadine came, she would tell him about Iris and Anya's pregnancy. She spent her days working hard. Since Anya was pregnant and couldn't work, Nadine felt more responsible for Iris. For the sake of her uncle and aunt, she wanted Iris to grow bigger. She would always accompany Anya every weekends so that her aunt wouldn't feel lonely.
When Maria came to him, she would tell him various things about his and Nico's childhood, as if inviting Aiden to reminisce. She also said that she would occasionally come to his house and cook for Anya. She wanted to take care of Anya's health, and made up for what she did in the past.
When it's Bima or Ivan, they would sit awkwardly without saying anything. They sat for hours, reading the newspaper or watching television. Even though they actually had a pile of other work to be done, they were willing to be there for hours to accompany Aiden.
Harris also came to visit him.
Every day after work, he would make time to sit beside Aiden's bed with an open notebook in his hand. After that, he would start reading all the reports regarding the Atmajaya Group beside him.
It didn't matter whether Aiden heard it or not, he kept reporting everything like a train moving fast. Not a single person could stop him.
"Harris, shut up. My head hurts..."
Suddenly, the words came out of the lips that hadn't moved for so long.
