BEHIND THE TWILIGHT
Ch. 48

Today Handoko is not out of the house at all. Even from the room. Ever since the revelation of Lula's lies yesterday morning, Handoko felt completely unappetised to do anything. But doesn't life stop there? There is still one more daughter that he has to fight for his life.

The only hope he ever had, the only sole heir to all the wealth he had. I hope there is only happiness after this.

The middle-aged man looked back at a picture of his wife. Repeatedly apologizing for all his mistakes in looking after his girls. "I'm sorry Amara."

For a moment, the cell phone on the bed rang continuously. Make the father's daydream fade, changing attention towards the flat object.

Seeing a name on his phone screen made Handoko's heart beat fast. I really hope he doesn't hear bad anymore... "Hallo Word's. What's up?"

"Mister Handoko is busy?" ask the Word from across there. Try to make a relaxed chat so that no one feels disturbed.

"No. Just tell me what's going on." Handoko said as she sat back on the balcony seat of her room. The frame of the wife's photo is still he holds, sometimes he looks at when talking to his business partner.

"It's about Bara Pak."

"What's wrong with Bara?"

"My son is in a coma. Was aware of that time, but....''

"Why? What was? Say it!" urge Handoko to feel anxious. His heart rate continues to increase rapidly.

"But Bara forgot the memory sir. He didn't even recognize me at all." a soft sigh was heard clearly in Handoko's ear.

"Then, Bara went back to critical and is now in a coma. I don't know what to do here sir." said the Word sounded very resigned and desperate.

"You need to calm down. Reassure yourself that Bara will be fine. He must have regained consciousness soon. Sure, he will remember everything. Do your best for Bara, whatever it is!"

"Good Sir. Thank you, sir."

"Don't forget to tell me the Word again."

"Good Sir."

So, it ended up having small talk that made the heart full of anxiety palpitations. Thinking, should the father of two give this information to his daughter? What if the reaction given by Luna was beyond his expectations?

"It will be when Luna comes home."

While a beautiful girl with a stomach that has been seen bulging it is now hugging warmly a young man on a large bed in a luxury apartment.

The apartment that Bayu had bought long ago shortly after the young man knew that the girl next to him had conceived her child.

"So, why be an OB?" said the girl broke the silence this afternoon in the luxury apartment.

"Since the beginning, Dad always asked me to start from scratch. Whatever it is. If I finish my studies, all facilities will be revoked. And I have to start over to get all that. But you just calm down, I'll definitely help us if there are difficulties. I just want to teach you I'm the one responsible for your pregnancy."

Lula smiled slightly as she let out a long breath. The girl's mind began to branch out a lot when her gestational age had begun to enter the first trimester.

"Tomorrow we go to Daddy's house with Mom. After that we go to the doctor. You've never met Mom and Dad. And we also have to make sure that's best for our children."

Ah, this young man. It was so different from her old self. Ever since he got to know two twin women 1 year ago, his personality has completely changed. Full of responsibility and attention.

"Same father I already know you through photos. They know Om Handoko even though Om Handoko does not know Father and Mother." explained Bayu made Lula nod small. Slightly shed fear in him when the prospective husband asked to meet with his parents.

"Someday, we'll get officially married. I'll give you a clear status." the young man said a sweet word that shook the girl's whole heart. Feeling how lucky the girl was to have a lover who loved her so dearly. At least that's what Bayu showed Lula even though her heart rejected everything she did.

"So, you think you'll see me again, won't you?" lula said suddenly. Highlight his eyes staring at the ceiling of the room with a look of face as if laughing at something.

"Handoko's father?"

The girl just nodded while clearing her throat in the warm embrace of the young man.

"You don't have to think too much about heavy things, Lula. Contact our children if you get stressed. I'm sure someday Handoko's father will be able to accept us. Luna will also surely give her niece." responded to the young man with confidence.

"Something in time. I don't know when."

If her twin sister is arranging some things for the future, not with Luna. The girl was now on the terrace of a very luxurious and magnificent house. A large house filled with only 4 humans. Starting from Handoko as the owner of the house, then Luna as the only child now, and also the driver and maid. However, there is only the sound of the wind among the many humans who are in the house.

After scolding Leo in front of Laras, the girl immediately left until she decided to go home. Even though he was so hurt, but his heart still did not have the heart to curse someone who had hurt him too deeply. And the result of his anger was just a regular rebuke to the one who was scolded by the girl. There was no emotion in it when the girl was angry.

And now, the girl was in her house. He began to step into the main door. Many times the girl sighed to remove the thump in her chest.

A silly thought just flashed through his brain. Want to express it to the father mumpung he has graduated from school and can move anywhere. However, he was very afraid if the reaction given by Handoko did not match his expectations.

Glancing at the living room, there was the father who just fell silent on the soft sofa that yesterday he had just turned back and forth due to the mounting emotions. Thinking, maybe the father is really still overwhelmed with sadness due to what happened to his daughter. Or perhaps, the father of two children regretted his actions?

Deciding to undo his intention to express the ridiculous idea he had in mind, Luna shook her head and then began to leave the floor that she was on now. To climb the stairs slowly, just before a voice stopped its steps.

"Luna! Here!" call Handoko while waving her hand. Making Luna sigh then return to enter the living room.

What he had wanted to say to say now actually began to appear to the surface. It made his heart thump even more as the desire became very strong. "Dad? What's up?" ask the girl while swallowing her saliva many times.

"Dad wants to tell Bara."

"Bara's? What's wrong with Bara?" the girl immediately reacted quickly when Bara's name was already heard in her ears.

"He's in a coma." concluded Handoko briefly. Still reluctant to convey that the young man had lost his memory.

Silently, Luna could only sigh while looking down. There is absolutely nothing to do but pray for the best for the young man.

"When Luna plans to ask permission from Dad to follow Bara to America. Luna wants to go to school there."

Jerked. The innocent girl's words before Handoko really struck the soul of the Father. Her daughter's wish was never thought of at all. "But Bara lost Luna's memory."

"She doesn't recognize it."

Now it was precisely that beautiful girl who was snapped quickly. His mouth was wide open to hear the words of the father who was quite surprising to him. Without any warning, he would have to lose everything. Things that the young man does not know must now be destroyed along with the person who gave him a sense of love that the young man has not felt.

Memory loss will destroy everything from the young man, right? If the Word alone is unknown to him, what about Luna? What about their love that only one party knows? Is this how fate separates them?

SERIATE...
