The Beautiful Masked Girl
72

By the time Doctor Irwan came out of Anna's ward, several people were already standing in front of the door welcoming him.

" Dok, how is my son?" asked 2 men at the same time worried about his son's condition.

Irwan clenched his forehead while glancing at the two men who asked him, He became confused. And Irwan is also surprised by his uncle Leo Eris who says Anna is also his son.

" Dok, how's my sister doing?" asked Bram to make Irwan turn to him.

" Thank God, your sister's condition has improved." replied Irwan.

" Thank God" they said along with a heart of relief to hear Anna's condition.

" I'm saying goodbye." said Irwan.

" Yes Doc, thank you." said Bram.

" Together" said Irwan.

" Dian!." call Leo making Dian look at him.

" Can I reveal that I'm her father?" asked Leo, leaving Dian speechless. There is a sense of unwillingness if Anna finds out that she is not her real father. It's true, he used to claim to be his father but, Anna thought that Dian was his real father all this time.

Bram's heart is not because he knows Anna is not his biological sister.

" I_." Dian's speech came to a halt when she heard Anna's nursery door open.

They looked around at Eris coming out of Anna's room.

" Eris." call Leo to Eris.

" How's Anna doing?" asked Leo in front of Eris.

" Thank God uncle, Anna has returned to her memory and healed" said Eris.

" Thank God" they said, glad to hear Anna's memory had returned.

" Can you see Anna?" asked Dian to approach Eris.

" Can't, Anna's waiting to see him." Eris replied.

" Then om entered first." said Dian who wanted to enter Anna's room but, his arm was held by someone made him turn towards the person.

" Dian, I beg you, I've been separated from my son for a long time." Leo's request made Dian speechless.

Leo let go of his hand grip on Dian's arm, without saying Dian entered the room.

" Uncle, I want to go to my room first." said Eris in reply with a nod of her uncle.

" Sister!." call Reya to see her brother leaving.

" Sister's got an operation scheduled tonight, so De' wants to go home or sleep here?" asked Eris towards her sister.

" Go home, sister!" said Reya.

" Yes already, later farewell to Brother if you want to return, brother go first" said Eris.

" Yes Brother." replied Reya towards her Brother.

" Thank you Eris." said Bram makes Etis turn to the figure in his dream.

"Is, did you hear? Shame on me if heard by Bram." Inner Eris smiled at Bram while nodding her head for a moment.

Eris walked away leaving those who were still waiting.

There was an open door to Anna's ward, making them turn towards the door.

" Papa." call Anna who's so happy to see her father.

Tears of longing between them spilled, Dian as if not believing Anna was still alive. Anna who lived with him from childhood made Dian very fond of Anna and considered like her own biological child. But that changed when Anna left since she knew Leo wanted her son back.

A tear was seen from both corners of Dian's eyes, making Aiden pity to see this scene. Anna relaxed her embrace looking at her father's face. Dian quickly rubbed his eyes to wipe away the tears He was afraid Anna would see him.

" By! How are you doing? Where are the others?." asked Anna.

" Good baby, Brother Bram is outside" said his father.

" Where are Rissa's mom and sister?" asked Anna.

" Mama." Dian's words stopped because he didn't know what to answer.

" What's up, Pah? Mama still hates Anna?." asked Anna.

Dian who never answered made Aiden know what to do for Anna not to ask questions about her mother again.

" Anna has to rest first?" said Aiden approaching Anna.

" Sister, but_." Anna's words stopped because Dian said.

" Dear, you have to be completely healed first. Later, Papa take you to see Mama." said Dian.

" Certainly?." asked Anna.

" Hmm.."

" Yes, Anna has rested first" said Anna after that she closed her eyes.

"Dear, sleep well. Aiden, come out first, okay? Take good care of Anna." said Dian.

" Yes" replied Aiden.

Dian also left the nursery Anna.Anna who was asleep made Aiden smile at her beautiful face Anna. He approached Anna's bed and put his butt in the chair beside it.

Outside the room were 2 men who were still sitting quietly. Abian who gets a sudden affair makes him say goodbye to leave the hospital that Reya follows. Reya actually wants to accompany Anna and her brother in the hospital, but seeing Abi say goodbye makes him come along and want to talk something with Abi.

" Om." call Bram to the man who claims to be Anna's real father.

Leo turned his head towards the man who called out to him." What's the matter?." asked Leo.

" Is it true that Anna is a real child?" asked Bram.

" Right." replied Leo briefly.

" Where have you been all this time? When Anna needs a hug and affection from her own father?." asked Bram who could not help but question his mind.

It made Leo's heart so sore at Bram's question to him. Where has he been as a father? Where was he when Anna needed a hug from a father when she lost her mother?." thought Leo who had many questions arising in his mind and heart.

Leo got up from his seat without even answering Bram's question. Bram saw Leo who stood up, and also seen from the look of Leo's face was so sorry and felt guilty about his behavior in the past. If time could turn back, he would keep his wife and son. Maybe, now they are together to build a happy family. In the past, Anna was still in her carrier named Liora Little now the name changed to Anna.

Anna wouldn't have suffered without a mother's affection. Everything is just idle, time will not turn back.

Leo stepped up wanting to leave the place, he wanted to see his wife's grave to apologize to her. Suddenly, the door to Anna's nursery is opened, leading Leo to abandon his intentions. Leo turned towards the door which Dian saw coming out of Anna's room.

" Pah! How's Anna doing?." asked Bram rising from his seat to approach his father.

" Anna has improved Bram, let your sister rest first" Dian said to her son.

" Yes Pah!." replied Bram.

Dian turned towards Leo making their gazes meet, Dian saw from the look on Leo's face that looked so regretful. Dian knows Leo's feelings, and feels guilty about hiding his son from him. He was once in contact with Leo, but because of his request and promise to Clara made him lie to Leo.

" I'll try to tell Anna about you, Leo" Dian said.

Leo who heard Dian's words felt a little happy but there was also a sense of fear later Anna rejected his existence.

" Thank you Dian, I'm leaving first" said Leo, who walked away leaving those who were staring at his passing.
