Miss You so Bad

Tristan glanced at the watch that was wrapped around his hand. Making sure it was already seven o'clock in the evening, he finished his work. Grabbing a briefcase, intending to go home soon.

However, just about to get up from sitting, his cell phone rang. Seeing that Sophia's name was there, he quickly accepted the call. He thought, maybe his wife called because he wanted to ask where his current position was. Sophia used to do that if Tristan was late coming home or working late at the office.

"Hello, Sophia. What's up, honey? I was just getting ready to come home from work."

"Tristan!"

The voice sounded unusual. Tristan believes something is happening to his wife.

"You better follow me to the hospital. I'm on my way to the Santa Monica hospital."

Tristan immediately jumped in surprise. His heart suddenly beat twice as fast after hearing what his wife had just said. Suddenly a bad thought immediately crossed his mind. Worried that something bad is happening to his wife and future baby.

"Hospital? W-what exactly happened to you?" asked Tristan in a worried tone.

"No ... no ... is it okay, Tristan. It's just that Aurora is having an emergency and needs to get medical treatment right away. Right now, me and Papa are on the way to take her to the hospital."

"Aurora in an emergency?"

"Yeah," Sophia said quickly. "Long story. I promise that when we meet, I will immediately tell you the chronology. Since you are still at the office, as well as tell Mario to come to the hospital. I'm sure what happened to Aurora is still related to Mario. Earlier, Papa have also tried to contact. But, keep failing."

Tristan nodded. Still in a state of receiving calls, the man got up from sitting ready to leave the room.

"Okay. I'll try to find Mario first. After this, I'll go straight to the hospital."

"Be careful driving later. I'll be waiting for you at the hospital."

Exactly a few seconds after ending the call, Tristan immediately brought his feet towards Mario's room. As soon as he arrived, he stopped in his tracks. Tristan remembered that this afternoon he gave his assistant the task of holding a meeting out there. It was certain that when finished, the man would go straight home. No longer back to the office.

Taking his cellphone out of his jacket pocket, Tristan tried to contact Mario. However, just as Sophia had said before, Mario's number was unreachable. Either there is no signal, the battery is running out, or maybe it was accidentally turned off.

However, believing that Mario would definitely reactivate his cell phone, Tristan took the initiative to send a message to his assistant. Expecting a lot after reading, Mario quickly caught up to the hospital.

Tristan : Mario, where are you? I hope you come to Santa Monica Hospital soon. Aurora is not in an emergency and is now being rushed to the hospital.

After writing the short message, Tristan rushed to the lobby. Ask the driver to quickly take him to go to the hospital.

Arriving at Santa Monica, Tristan, who saw Raphael pacing in front of the emergency room, immediately rushed over to him. Along the way to the hospital, it was undeniable that he was worried and thought about Aurora's condition. What's more, the woman was pregnant. Terrified that something dangerous might happen.

For Tristan, it was enough for Sophia to have had two miscarriages. Don't let Aurora experience the same thing, even though from the start the woman didn't really want the baby.

"Pa, how is Aurora?" asked Tristan when he was standing in front of Raphael.

The father immediately turned around. Hugging Tristan with mixed feelings. Even though Aurora is stubborn and it's been hard to give advice lately, Raphael still thinks about it. Especially now in conditions that are not possible. Raphael was scared, Olivier was worried. After all, Aurora is still his little princess.

"I don't know, Tristan. The medical team is still working on it in there. Let's hope nothing happens to Aurora and the baby. Papa will go crazy if something happens to your sister."

Tristan nodded. Unraveling the hug, he then invited Raphael to sit for a moment.

"Aurora must be fine, Pa. I'm sure nothing bad will happen."

"Then let's just pray."

***

Mario just got home. Entering the room, he immediately chose to clean himself up. After finishing and having changed into casual clothes, then he headed for the sofa. Opening the bag to then take his cell phone which died because it ran out of power since he was outside earlier.

Mario then moved position towards the bed. Start charging the battery while turning on the cellphone.

Until not long after turning on, a row of notification rings sounded. Taking a quick glance, he saw that there was a series of messages that had been sent by someone.

Curious, Mario immediately checked his cell phone. Opening, to then read the message at the top which of course was sent by Tristan.

Tristan : Mario, where are you? If you have read my message, go to the hospital immediately. Aurora had an emergency and is currently being rushed to the Santa Monica hospital. I hope, after reading this message, you follow soon.

Mario jumped in surprise. The message he read just now made him worry and panic at the same time. No matter how angry Aurora is, it's undeniable that he really loves his wife.

So, without much further thought, at that instant Mario changed his clothes. Grabbing the car keys, then decided to immediately go to the hospital following.

Driving his vehicle at an above-average speed, Mario finally arrived in Santa Monica at exactly eight and fifteen minutes. Taking big steps to immediately enter the hospital, his eyes caught sight of Tristan, Sophia, and also his father-in-law sitting in front of the emergency room.

With mixed feelings, he immediately approached. Want to make sure for yourself how the condition of his wife and the baby who is currently in Aurora's womb.

"Pa, Tristan, how is Aurora?"

Tristan and Raphael got up together. Approaching Mario, then both of them tried to calm down. Anxious and worried expression was evident on the man's face.

"Where have you been, Mario? Papa has been trying to contact you for a while. But your cellphone isn't working."

Mario took a deep breath. Cursing his negligence because he forgot to charge the cellphone until it died for too long. If not, maybe he could have been contacted earlier.

"I'm sorry, Pa. Earlier, my cellphone did run out of battery while having a meeting outside," said Mario trying to provide an explanation. "Then, how is Aurora?"

"Earlier the doctor briefly gave an explanation, he said Aurora fainted due to dehydration and taking too many painkillers."

"Oh Lord." Mario exclaimed in disbelief. Hearing the father-in-law's explanation, he was increasingly made up. "B-but, can Aurora and the baby be saved?"

"We are all still waiting for further explanation from the team of doctors," Tristan replied. "Hopefully nothing bad will happen to her and the baby she is carrying."

"Why is he suddenly unconscious like this?" asked Mario afterwards.

Raphael took a deep breath. He didn't even know what was really going on considering he had just returned from out of town.

"Papa actually doesn't know for sure what's going on. Papa is even waiting for an explanation from the two of you."

"You'd better talk to me, Mario," interrupted Tristan who was indeed standing there. Staring deeply, the man motioned for Mario to follow in his footsteps to go elsewhere.

After a little distance, while sitting in the available chairs in the hospital corridor, the two started a conversation.

"What really happened to Aurora, Tristan?"

Tristan took a deep breath. Lifting his face, the man stared for a moment before finally answering Mario's question.

"This is all the aftermath of what we talked about earlier, Mario."

"You mean?"

Tristan then nodded.

"Regarding Aurora wanting to ask you to forgive her mistake. I'm sure this must be the aftermath of the matter. This afternoon, after finishing talking with you, Aurora did contact me to ask how you responded to her apologizing."

"And you conveyed what my response would be?"

Tristan nodded again. Confirming what Mario guessed.

"However, I have to tell the truth."

"I understand that, Tristan. Just so you know, Aurora even contacted me directly before the meeting outside and the same as what I told you, I also asked her not to disturb me just yet."

"It could be that, because she felt hopeless and stressed, Aurora had short thoughts by doing stupid things that endangered her life and the baby she was carrying, Mario."

"Gosh. Why is Aurora so happy to do risky things without thinking twice."

Mario took a deep breath. There is also a sense of guilt with what is now happening to his wife. What else can we do. Aurora has gone too far. And now? After realizing his mistake, instead of introspecting himself, he instead did stupid things that endangered his life. Mario was really frustrated by his wife.

"Let's just pray that nothing serious happens to your wife and future baby. I'm sure Aurora will be fine," Tristan prayed sincerely. "And I hope this problem will be resolved soon. I beg you, just stop your anger. Don't you feel sorry for your wife's condition?"

"Oh come on, Tristan," Mario said quickly. "Later, we'll discuss the problems behind this incident. I'll make sure that what I'm going to do has been carefully thought through."

Tristan did not argue anymore. Instead of continuing the conversation, both of them got up to catch up with Raphael who still looked faithfully waiting in front of the emergency room.

Not long after, the team of doctors who handled it came out of the room. Approaching, to then explain the results of the examination they had just undergone.

"How is my daughter, doctor?"

"Are you the parents of Mrs. Aurora?"

"Yes," nodded Olivier. "Is my daughter all right?"

The doctor nodded, looking at Raphael, Tristan, and Mario one by one.

"We have handled Mrs. Aurora well. We are grateful that her condition can still be helped."

"Then what about the baby?" asked Mario no less worried.

"The baby in her womb is also in good and stable condition. It's just that at this time Mrs. Aurora is still unconscious. It may take approximately 24 hours for her to regain consciousness. While waiting, the medical team will transfer Mrs. Aurora to the treatment room."

Mario should breathe a sigh of relief. The doctor has confirmed that the condition of his wife and future baby is fine. Now just waiting for his wife to regain consciousness as usual.
