"I love…." The sentence was interrupted when the unexpected happened. Claire suddenly kissed his cheek making the man freeze for a few seconds.
"Can you shut up? I'm not deaf," Claire whispered in Devan's ear then returned to her original position.
And her actions made the guests excited again.
After that, the Pastor continued with the reading of the blessing prayer for the bride and groom.
Silence, all the guests were silent and listened solemnly. After that, continued with the last event. Namely, entertainment, accompanied by soothing songs.
___
It didn't feel like time had passed so quickly, the bright sky slowly turned orange, now it was five o'clock in the afternoon. The wind blows slowly.
The event ended an hour ago.
Mrs. Seira and Mrs. Lana are still unconscious, so Mr. Atmadja has no other choice but to take them to the nearest hospital, he is not alone, he is with Jerry, Mrs. Lana's husband, or in other words, Byanca's father.
While the woman, No one knows where she is now. Jerry had tried to chase after his daughter but to no avail, considering his wife's condition had fallen unconscious, Jerry stopped his actions and finally chose to take care of his wife first and then look for Byanca.
And here the two middle-aged men were, sitting quietly waiting for their wives in chairs that were reserved for visitors.
At the hospital baseman, a red Ferrari and black limousine pulled up, as Devan, Claire, and the rest of the family got off.
After the event ended, they all got ready and followed Mr. Atmadja to the hospital.
"Come on, honey," Devan said right after opening the car door for Claire.
"Erm, thank you," the woman replied in a small voice.
"Mom," a small child's voice came from behind, it was Dave, the boy along with Grandma, Leo, Naila, and the others.
"Yes honey, come with me," Claire said welcoming her son.
"No, you're with me, honey. Your mother must be tired after the event," said Devan immediately lifting his son's tiny body and carrying him into his arms.
"Okay, Dad," said Dave obeying his father.
They then entered the elevator that was there and headed to the floor where Mrs. Seira and Mrs. Lana were being treated.
"Devan..." Claire called in a whisper.
Turning to the source of the voice Devan said, "What's wrong honey? Hmm? Do you want me to carry you too?"
"I'm scared," replied Claire. Until now, she still felt very worried and afraid. She was afraid that neither Mrs. Seira nor Mr. Atmadja would accept her presence in the family. Even though they were newly engaged, she was still very scared.
"Afraid? Who are you afraid of, honey? Don't say things like that again while I'm alive, ok?" replied Devan.
"What are you afraid of anyway, dear?" now Grandma followed and walked beside Claire while embracing her arm.
"No one will be able to hurt you, trust me," added Grandma again as if she understood the fear felt by Claire.
Hearing that, Claire smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Grandma," she said. Meanwhile, Aaron, who also came with them, felt a little happy seeing the interaction in front of him.
Seeing a middle-aged man sitting on waiting chairs lined up in the hospital corridor, Devan and the others immediately approached.
"How is the mother's condition, Dad?" said Devan right after arriving in front of his father.
Hearing that, Mr. Atmadja immediately rose from his position.
"Devan?" he muttered, his gaze then wandered and saw the people who were with his son. His eyes fell on the boy in Devan's arms.
"How's Mama, Dad?" asked Devan repeating his sentence. A worried expression appeared on his face.
"Is she okay?" he added.
"The doctor checked her earlier, she said your mother is fine, it's just that because of the pressure and the shock, she hasn't regained consciousness. Just pray, hopefully, your mother wakes up soon," replied Mr. Atmadja while taking a deep breath.
"You'd better go in and see how your mother is, Devan," whispered Claire, but her voice was still able to reach Mr. Atmadja's ear.
"My mom? Not. From now on what's mine is yours too, honey. She's my mom, that means she's your mom too, isn't that dad? ah yeah, where's Mom's room?" asked Devan again.
Immediately Mr. Atmadja pointed to the room where his wife was. After that, Devan grabbed Claire's hand and led her into the room.
"D-Devan, let go. I'll just wait here," Claire protested. She just felt a little uneasy.
"Don't you want to see our mother? Come on," replied Devan, Claire didn't have a chance to refuse and just followed very obediently.
After the three of them left, Mr. Atmadja sat back down. Grandmother, Leo, Serly, and Melvin also did the same. Naila is no exception.
"Looks like the event went well, Ma," said Mr. Atmadja to the old woman next to him.
"As you can see."
"Is that woman Devan's wife now?"
"They're not married yet, it was just the two of them getting engaged, right Mr. Aaroon?" said Grandma looking around.
"Eh, where is Mr. Aaron?" she asked Serly.
"Before arriving here, Mr. Aaron said goodbye for a moment, Ma. He said he wanted to buy something first," replied the middle-aged woman.
"Aaron? Who's Aaron?" asked Mr. Atmadja.
"He is Claire's uncle, your future besan, son," said Grandma.
Mr. Atmadja who heard that was silent and nodded his head. He seemed to have missed a lot of information regarding today's events. He didn't even know the identity of the woman who had made Devan go this far. However, he would neither scold nor hate his son for everything that happened today.
Mr. Atmadja trusted his son, and he respected his son's choice. Even though he had some worries about certain things, back again, Devan did all of this for sure with full preparation. So he tried to suppress any worries that arise in him.
As a parent, he just needs to help and support all his son's decisions. Whatever the risk.
"Then where's Lana? Is she okay?" now Grandma asked again.
"She's in that room, Ma," answered Mr. Atmadja while looking to the side, but no longer found Jerry there.. Maybe the man walked into his wife's room when everyone was coming.
