He's The Unaffordable
Chapter 166 - You're Not Handicapped

I took a break to visit Clarissa at the hospital. There was only Aunt Lindsey accompanying him in the room. Maybe Om Edu is at his workplace. Charlotte and Wyatt are definitely on campus. Clarissa greeted me with a sweet smile. He still looked pale, but his eyes looked cheerful.

“Grandmother, please, leave me a moment with Hadi,” pinta Clarissa to Aunt Lindsey.

“OK, darling. Coincidentally I have to add more drinking water.” Aunty stood up, then picked up the empty bottle of drink on the nightstand. “Paga my grandson for a minute.” I'm nodding.

“How are you doing now?” I asked once Aunt Lindsey was out of the room. I sat on the empty seat on the left side of his bed, close to his infusion pole. When I touched her hand, she immediately pulled it from me.

“Hadi,” he said with a smile on his face. “I promise never to interrupt your life again. I will never chase you again.”

“What do you mean? Rissa, if you mean to—” I said suspiciously.

He cut my sentence. “Iya. What you think is true. I want us to break up. You don't have to worry. I won't come to you again and ask to come back.”

“No. I don't want us to break up again,” I said refuse.

“You can't force me to stay when I want to go, Hadi.” He looks angry. I looked at his face well. Something looks different. “Why are you quiet?”

“Because there is nothing more I need to say,” I replied. “I don't care you want to go anywhere, I'll follow you. I won't let you cut off our relationship again.”

“But you promised that our relationship ended for good when I asked to break up before three months,” protested loudly.

“That's not a promise, Rissa. That deal. A deal could change. Moreover, we did not sign any agreement. I don't want us to break up. Point,” I said firmly.

He closed his lips. “Can't you see my situation? I'm disabled, Hadi. I don't want to be a burden on Grandpa and Grandma, let alone you!” Tears quickly rolled into his eyes.

“Rissa.” I held her hand again. This time, he did not pull his hand again. “You are not disabled. Once your bones have recovered, the cast will be removed and you can use your feet and hands again. It's not forever. Only temporary.”

“Not my hands and feet are a problem, Hadi.” Tears fell down her cheeks. “I can't see! I-i'm blind. I can't even see you!”

Oh, dearGod. I could only shut up when she cried. How did this happen? Clarissa can't see? Has the position of the fall injured his sight? What am I supposed to do now? His feet and hands will recover. But what about his eyes?

This burden is too heavy for me. I have never faced a disabled family member. Only Grandma Naava had ever been so ill. But he had lived a long healthy life and always controlled his health. The cancer she had never returned. I was young. I don't want to spend my life just taking care of a blind boyfriend.

Nah! What the hell am I thinking? How can I say I love Clarissa if I just want to accept her perfect? Whether you can see it or not, Clarissa is still Clarissa. There are many eye doctors who can cure it. Just this small time of trouble, I give up? No. gabe. I'm not a cowardly man.

I moved to sit on the side of the bed. Clarissa immediately cried in my arms, so I waited until she calmed down. My head did not stop thinking what words I should say. This was my first experience persuading a girl, especially one I loved.

“Rissa,” said slowly.

“No. I just want to hear the yes from you. Yeah, we broke up. I don't want to hear anything else,” he said while distancing himself from me, but I didn't let go. “Let me go, Hadi. Please, let go of me.”

“I let you go once and I regret it. I'm not gonna let you go again. I don't care about your situation. We can go see a doctor and find a cure. You can definitely see again, Rissa,” I said quietly. “Rissa I know is a warrior. Snakes can't scare you. Dark times are a while, you're already scared?” He just kept quiet.

“Did the doctor check on you?” askaku. He immediately shook his head. “Why not? Are you afraid of needles?” godaku, trying to melt the atmosphere. He hit my chest with his little fist.

“A-I'm afraid I'm really going blind. So, I don't want to be checked.” She came back crying. “Hadi, I'm scared. This darkness is terrible. I've never been helpless like this.”

“Let the doctor check your state, then we think about the next step, huh?” the bujukku.

“Until the results come out,” I reply quickly. Whatever I'm gonna do as long as he wants to be checked.

He raised his face and his eyes were looking for me. “Really? But what about your work at the office?” I now understand what looks different on his face. His eyes did not look into the eyes of the person who spoke to him.

“I'm doing my job. Taking care of one of our company's interns,” I said reminded. He's laughing a little. “Come, sit properly. I'll call doctor.”

The door opened, Aunt Lindsey came in with a bottle of water and a bag. “I've called doctor.” He gave me the bag. “You must not have had lunch. Be eating. So that you are strong to face this suddenly spoiled girl.”

“Grandmother!” clarissa protested with a flushed face.

“Rissa, do you really just look around you dark?” tanyaku.

He looked towards me. “No. I can see the light. The brightest one comes from there.” He pointed towards the window whose curtain was open. “Then I can see the shadow is not clear. You, for example. I can see your shadow, too Grandma. There are also other shadows, but I don't know what that thing is.” His eyes were watering again, in frustration of not being able to see.

I caressed her cheek. “Honey, you can still see the light is a good sign. I will eat as soon as I can accompany you.” He nodded sadly.

The doctor came with a nurse. Clarissa finally said honestly that she could not see clearly. The doctor gave instructions to the nurse what examination Clarissa needs to undergo. Aunt Lindsey agreed to everything the doctor said.

A few minutes after they came out, the nurse came back again with a document that Aunty needed to sign. Then they took Clarissa out in a wheelchair. Me and Aunt followed them, then were asked to wait outside.

After going through the examination after examination, we were asked to wait until the results came out. Aunt Lindsey watches television, while I keep in touch with Tegar on my phone. In a hurry, I forgot to bring my tablet from home. Clarissa fell asleep as soon as she lay in her bed. Maybe he was tired of the examination.

“Thank you, Hadi. I really appreciate what you did.” Aunt Lindsey looked towards Clarissa who was sleeping peacefully. “My husband and I this morning couldn't persuade him to check his eye condition. He was so frightened that he thought that his condition was permanent.”

“I would do the same if I were him, Auntie. Don'worry. I'm sure his eye condition is only temporary.” I smiled at him.

All my friends and sisters came from their homes. Dira and Adi must have gone home before they came, because they had changed clothes. I didn't see my mom coming with them either. The room was full, but Clarissa wouldn't let me out. He held my hand as I intended to follow Aunt Lindsey into the waiting room.

They already knew the condition of Clarissa's eyes, so they tried to behave normally and ignore the shortcomings. Charlotte is seen struggling to smile knowing that her sister's eyes are not functioning properly.

When the doctor came to tell them the results of their examination, friends came out. Aunt Lindsey and Om Edu entered the room. According to the results of the examination, there is bleeding that occurs around the nerves of the eye Clarissa. Because his eyes are blurred. He's not blind. The bleeding can heal on its own, without surgery. The doctor will give you medicine to speed up your recovery. We were all relieved to hear it, especially Clarissa.

“Patience with the wounds that are on your body. Try to think positively so that your body recovers faster. You can go home tomorrow. Keep your casts from getting exposed to water. Also make sure you don't sweat too much in the area the two casts are in,” the doctor said kindly.

“Good, Doctor,” says Clarissa according. Om Edu drove the doctor and nurse to the door. Me and Aunt Lindsey remain on the patient side.

“Are you hungry? I asked Darla and Qiana to come bring dinner for all of us. Maybe they'll be there soon.” Aunt Lindsey glanced at her watch.

“Can I eat other than the one provided by the hospital?” clarissa asked expectantly.

“Bby. Darla makes sure that the food made by her chef is safe for you,” Auntie replied. Clarissa smiled happily.

The phone on the nightstand shook, I immediately turned my head and looked at my phone screen that was on. The number listed is a number I don't know. “Halo?”

“Halo, Hadi. What are you doing there with that girl? You should be with the girl who spent the night with you in the hotel room, not her.” said someone I didn't know. The phone almost came down from my hand.
