cancel engagement.
Bayu who got word from Adrian that Alya was in a coma, immediately slid to the hospital. As much as possible Bayu for now hid the existence of Adrian from the question of oma and aunt Vera. Bayu walked over to Adrian. It was clearly visible on Adrian's face the anxiety that enveloped him.
"How has there been any progress."? Ask Bayu.
Adrian did not answer Bayu's question, he just shook his head slowly. His tongue felt too hard to speak.
"Mom, will Brother Alya be okay.?" Tanya Rani accompanied by sobs.
The little girl and Lastri's mother who was sitting in the waiting room chair were devastated to hear that Alya was in a coma, only the sobs of the two of them sounded. Bayu who heard his conversation turned his gaze towards Adrian.
"Those who.?" Ask Bayu with his eyebrows interlocked.
"They said Alya's family." Answer Adrian lirih.
Hyng . No one spoke they were all preoccupied with their individual thoughts. Waiting in front of the operating room, worry and anxiety is what they feel at the moment, time is running so slow. Either Adrian has several times glanced at the clock that is circular in his hand. It was so bad that he broke down the door of the operating room.
Up to three hours had passed, Adrian looked so agitated erratically. His mind was shrouded in guilt.Is there still time for him to be able to correct his mistake.
"Patient husband.?"
The voice of a male doctor disperse the daydream of Adrian who was surfing somewhere. The doctor stood at the front door of the operating room.
"Me, doc how's it going.?" Ask Adrian worriedly.
"I'm sorry sir, the operation went a bit slow because the patient had bleeding. Let us pray together that the patient may pass his critical period." Said the man's doctor.
"Do we need a referral abroad doc.?" Tanya Bayu who stood beside Adrian.
"For a while it is not necessary sir. Because we can still treat patients in this hospital. We'll see how it goes, sir."
"All right doc."
Before long the operating room door opened, Alya who was lying on the patient's bed will be moved to the treatment room. Adrian's eyes stared at Alya's face lying weakly on the patient bed pushed by several nurses.
"You heard it yourself, bro, there's nothing to worry about, we're waiting for him to wake up." Sayu pat Adrian on the shoulder.
"Oh, yes bro you should go home, you solve your problems first, let me wait here , if there's anything I'll call." Sayu.
"How can I go Bay, while Alya is in a critical state, hold my baby.?" Said Adrian staring softly at Bayu.
"You take it easy, bro, I'm here, too. I want you to solve your problems first, solve your problems one by one, ok." Sayu encourages.
"At least do this for your son, which Adrian I know is a tough guy. Loyo, let's go hem." Sayu while her hand several times pat Adrian on the shoulder.
"All right."
Adrian slowly walked over to Lastri's mother and Rani . There was a hint of spirit power growing from his soul.
"Mom, I'm sorry, I have to go for a while, there's something I have to finish, if you need anything, you can call my friend ." Adrian said, standing next to Lastri's mother as his hand pointed towards Bayu.
"I don't need anything. I want Alya to heal quickly." Lastri's mother said in her sobs.
Adrian slowly walked out of the room. The goal now is to solve the problems caused. He did not want to be called a coward. At least he did this for Adrian junior.

Arriving at the luxurious housing complex without hesitation Adrian turned his car into a house that fenced in iron . Adrian also got off his car approaching the security guard who was on guard.
"Sorry sir, are the residents of the house at home.?" Ask Adrian.
"There sir, they're inside, sorry with whose father I let you tell Mr. Handoko." Said the guard politely.
"Just tell me from Adrian, I want to meet him."
"Well sir, wait a minute."
The security guard also ran small towards the luxurious house. Not long after he came back with a breath.
"Father is waiting inside, please .!"
"Thank you."
Gts …. Tok
"Excuse me."
"Get in.!"
Handoko's cold voice sounded piercing. He sat with his wife who was sitting next to him. The cynical look became the main menu Adrian.
"There's still guts you came here.?" Said Mr. Handoko cynically
"Say what are you doing here.?" Is it not your satisfaction to humiliate our family, what do you consider our family to be ." Mum Baras said with giddy eyes.
"Let me talk to Raisa. To make everything clear and not to misunderstand." Adrian said
"Did you say.?" Misunderstanding what you mean. My family have you put to shame, for no reason you left Raisa in the crowd of your engagement party. ?" Said Laras' mother in her sobs.
Raisa who is in her room, now her mind is floating undeniably like someone is in love, the shady gaze is still attached to her memory. Raisa tried to sharpen her hearing. Slowly get up from his bed and open the door of his room. He walked out of his room down the stairs to the source of the conversation. Raisa's footsteps stopped at once to find Adrian who was sitting in the living room together with his parents.
"You, what are you doing here.?" Ask Raisa .
Adrian who sat facing Handoko turned to the source of the voice.
"You, did you come here just to show how great you are ?" Cecar Raisa
"You really have heart. I didn't expect a respectable family like yourself to tarnish my family's good name." Raisa said in her sobs.
Raisa spills all her anger onto Adrian. The pain he now felt really cannot forget. The arrival of Adrian who now came to his house opened his heart.
"I'm sorry, Raisa, my arrival here just wants to solve the problems between us."
"Sorry, is it with an apology, can it restore the situation as before.?" Said Raisa with glazed eyes.
Raisa's tears are back. Remembering that night he and his family had to bear the shame of Adrian's disappearance and not return.
"That would be better for us. Because from the beginning I said I couldn't marry you.!" Adrian said firmly.
"Then why did you come here. What else do you want to explain.?"
"Explain to me why are you doing this to me.?" What's my fault with you.?" Raisa.
"I came here, I just wanted to say cancel our engagement." Because I can't marry you."
" What.?"
Suddenly surprised, Handoko and Laras' mother heard Adrian's statement. They thought that Adrian's arrival would improve their relationship but it turns out Adrian's arrival was beyond their expectations.
"Tell me Adrian . What lack I have in your eyes. You even broke off our engagement."
Raisa walked over to Adrian who was still sitting quietly. There was not even a doubt in Adrian's mind to say it all.
"I'm not a good man to you. And I don't want to hurt you. That feeling could not be forced by Raisa. You're a good, beautiful, educated woman there's still a lot of men who want you."
"Trust me there's no reason for me to hurt you." Adrian looked down at Raisa.
Raisa is stunned to hear Adrian's honesty. Mr. Handoko and the mother of Laras who had been silent since heard it could only resign . If continued it may be fatal later.
"Better think of your brighter future with the man who truly loves you."
Again Adrian's voice broke the silence inside Raisa's sobs. Raisa who hears all Adrian's words is like a very sharp dagger. The love that he had longed for Adrian all turned into an invisible pain.
"Well, if that's all your decision. We as parents can't do anything." Said Mr. Handoko.
He tried to hold back the anger. But for the sake of his daughter he did not want to take the rash action that he later regretted. The anger that had peaked was also melted hearing Adrian's statement. Subjectly. He as a man has come and admitted that he can not hold the engagement because Adrian does not love his daughter. If feelings cannot be forced how his daughter will live her life.
