From Duren Down To The Heart
Chapter 38. Lightning Overview
~ *POV KEANU** ~
I don't know why, I feel like there's something weird about Clara. He's very different today. Even he seemed very unwilling when I would leave the office.
I tried to stay focused on controlling the steering wheel of my car, even though my brain was full of question marks about Clara's unusual attitude. He seemed to have a bad feeling. Am I really going through something bad right now? So he seemed very reluctant to let me go.
Or the.. Even him?
Nope, no! I can't let anything happen to my beloved girl.
Thank goodness I have arrived safely at my office.
Hopefully the feeling Clara feels is not true.
I paused my intention to get out of the car when I heard my phone ring.
"morah Hall?"
'Keanu, where are you now?' my mom's voice panicked behind the phone. And also.. sad?
"i just got to Ma's office, what's up?"
'Clara Nak, Clara..! Hix.. Hicks..'
"Clara why Ma? Mama's crying?" I was so panicked.
"news Mama Clara call, if Clara had a hit-and-run accident in front of the minimarket near her home..! Hix.. Hicks.." Mama kept crying.
"What?? Clara Ma's accident? Where is she now??"
'she said Clara had been taken to a Medical Centre hospital. My mom is ready to go there too. Hix.. Hicks..'
"iya Ma, Keanu is also there now."
I went back to running the car after ending the call with Mama.
My mind was so confused at the news. My body squeezed for a moment.
Arrhgggghh!!
I also shouted very loudly to reduce my anxiety. I have to control myself well. Especially with me driving now.
Even my trembling hands felt very cold and stiff. But I have to be strong.
Do not let two accident victims at once on the same day.
I have to be careful to watch the girl I love so much be okay.
"focus Keanu.. Focus up!" I'm talking to myself.
It turned out to be this incident that made Clara so unwell this morning. I'm so sorry I decided to go to the office when Clara's hard circumstances let me go.

~ *Still POV Keanu** ~
I immediately parked my car when I arrived at the hospital. And went straight to the reception desk to inquire about Clara's room.
I immediately ran to find Clara's room.
My steps stopped when I saw people I knew crowded in front of a nursery. They are Mama, Mama Clara, Ririn, Dinda and also Keisya.
"Father!" Keisya ran towards me and hugged me very tightly. Looks like he just finished crying, because there's still a stuffing left that I heard.
"Pa, Mama Clara Pa.." Keisya kept hugging me.
"It's quiet, Mama Clara must be fine. Let's go to Oma..!" I took Keisya over to Mama and the others.
"Tante doesn't know Keanu yet, Clara has just been transferred to the ward, and now the doctor is examining her" replied Mama Clara in a hoarse voice and interspersed with sobs.
Soon Papa and Yusuf arrived together. They don't panic less with me. Especially with Yusuf. He sat pensively in the waiting chair with tears streaming down his cheeks.
I approached him too.
"Of.."
Om Yusuf turned to me. "here sit Son.."
"excuse me Om, I can't take care of Clara.. Clara already had a bad feeling. But I went to the office and left it."
"don't blame yourself, this is a disaster. You don't want this to happen either, do you?"
"of course Om..How could I possibly want it?"
"then stop blaming yourself. You know, you love your son. We better pray for Clara to be okay."
I nodded. "yes Om."
"Well, why hasn't the doctor come out yet? Why did they come all this time to check on our son?" Ask Mama Clara who just approached us.
"relax Ma.. The doctor must examine it thoroughly.. We're praying that Clara's okay!" Joseph hugged his wife.
About 20 minutes later, the 40-year-old doctor came out of Clara's room. And we all went straight to him.
"how's my future wife doing doc?" I can't wait to hear the doctor's explanation.
"are you all a family patient?"
"iya doc. We are all her family" replied Mama Clara.
"well okay.. So here's. The patient had a fracture in the knee, and considerable bleeding in his groin. But do not worry because there is still a lot of blood supply here. And also-"
"also what doc?" manya curious.
"this is still uncertain, because it still has to be done ultrasound and also CT scan."
"why Clara Doc?" my insistence that I feel annoyed because the doctor did not explain in detail.
"Miss Clara allegedly suffered damage to the wall of her womb, due to the impact of the car that hit her."
"doctor mean?"
"hopefully the wound is not too severe, so there is no need for surgical removal of the uterus and can be cured with medication. But, if it's severe, it's forced to remove her uterus, and it will definitely result in Miss Clara not being able to get pregnant."
"doctor! The doctor must be lying! My son won't have a uterus removal operation right? He's gonna be okay, right? She will definitely give me a granddaughter one day..!!" Mama Clara was screaming hysterically and going berserk. To the extent that my Mama and Om Yusuf could barely contain his rampage.
"relax Ma.. Clara must be fine, trust Papa!" Yusuf tried to calm Mama Clara.
"yes ma'am, I'm sorry. I said it was not certain, because it still had to undergo further examination, but had to wait for the patient to wake up first." the doctor also calmed Mama Clara.
Bruukkk
Mama Clara almost fell to the floor from fainting. But fortunately, Yusuf was able to hold it.
Mama Clara was immediately examined by a doctor. But the doctor said Mama Clara was fine, just too much shock.

Oh God..
Why did this happen to Clara? The girl I love so much..
Even I just felt this short happiness in my life. It was only this time that I felt happy to be in love.. But why did you take away my happiness? Why should my Clara be God..??
I can only cry in my heart. Because indeed I must still look tough in front of my parents and also Clara's parents.
Well, if this is destiny. But please, heal him..! Cure my Clara like before.. I want to see her smile again, I want to see her cheerfulness again. Heal him O God.. Without less than one thing.
