Chapter 17 - Father's Decision

"Excuse me, is there such a thing as Lavanya?" the Nurse asked.

"Me, Nurse. How is my Father, Nurse?"

"The patient's condition has improved. But the patient has not regained consciousness. And the patient keeps calling Lavanya's name."

"Then may I enter the Nurse?"

"Please. Only you, yes. Because in fact the patient is still not allowed to be visited, considering his condition is still very weak."

"Okay, Nurse."

Without further ado, Lavanya went straight into the emergency room. It was true what the nurse said earlier. The Father kept calling Lavanya's name with his eyes still tightly closed and unconscious. Lavanya who saw her Father's condition like that immediately shed tears. Then Lavanya approached her Father and gripped his hand very tightly.

"Lavanya..." Dad whispered.

"Yeah, Dad. It's me Lavanya. I'm already beside you. I promise I won't leave you again."

After Lavanya spoke like that, suddenly her father slowly opened his eyes.

"Father? Are you awake, Dad?"

"The lava..."

"Yeah, Dad. I'm here. Dad, don't think too much and talk about it. I'll call the Doctor for a moment."

Lavanya immediately rushed out of the emergency room to call the doctor or nurse who was there to check on her father's condition.

"Doctor... Nurse...," Lavanya shouted.

Everyone who was waiting outside spontaneously panicked hearing Lavanya's scream.

"Why? Father why Lavanya?" asked sis Esha.

"Father is awake, sis."

"Thank God. Doctor... Nurse..."

Esha, who felt happy, immediately joined in calling the doctor or nurse so that she could check on her father's condition. Not long after that the Sister approached them all.

"Is there anything I can help with?"

"My father has regained consciousness, Sus. Please check his condition immediately," replied Esha.

"Oh, fine. I'll call the doctor in a moment."

"Yes Sus, thank you Sus."

The nurse ran a bit to call the Doctor who had treated Lavanya's father to re-examine him. The doctor swiftly came to the ER and checked the condition of Lavanya and Esha's father.

"How is my father, Doc?" asked Lavanya.

"The patient is getting better. But still have to rest completely for the next one to two days. And don't think too much."

"In that case, thank God."

"After this the patient can be transferred to the inpatient room. I'll excuse myself."

"Okay, Doc. Thanks Doc."

"You're welcome."

The doctor and nurse after checking the condition of the father of the two of them immediately left the emergency room. Now in the ER room there are only Lavanya and Esha. Meanwhile Dhira and Arzan waited outside the room.

"Lavanya..." hee Father called back.

"Yes, Daddy. Why? What do you want?"

"Where's Arzan?"

Lavanya immediately glanced at Esha after hearing her Father's question. In the end, it was Esha who answered.

"Dad, you don't have to think about Arzan anymore, okay?"

"Daddy wants to meet Arzan."

"What for Dad? Arzan is the one who has turned Lavanya into this and made Daddy sick like this."

"Daddy it's okay. I want to meet Arzan. There's something I want to tell him."

Esha wanted to answer his Father words again. Because Esha really doesn't like him. But Lavanya tries to calm her down. Given her Father's condition is not too stable.

"Yes, Dad. Let me meet and talk to Arzan. I will call Arzan for a while, okay?"

"Yes, dear."

Lavanya came out of the emergency room to call Arzan and told him to come inside. Esha could only shake his head seeing the attitude of Lavanya and his Father.

Outside the ER.

"Lavanya. How is your Father doing?" asked Dhira.

"Father's condition is better now."

"In that case, thank God."

"Now I want to meet you, Arzan."

"What? Want to meet me? What's wrong?"

"I don't know either, Arzan. But he said he wanted to talk to you."

As a brave man, Arzan immediately said yes.

"Well then."

Lavanya glanced at Dhira. Lavanya's current feelings are anxious at the request of her Father who wants to meet and talk to Arzan. Lavanya is sure that her Father will tell Arzan to stay away from her again. And this time Lavanya couldn't possibly argue with her Father again. Because Lavanya doesn't want her Father to fall sick even worse than this because of her.

"You don't have to worry, okay? Let's just go in now. I will accompany you," said Dhira, who only nodded her head in response.

Lavanya and Dhira also entered the ER.

When Arzan entered the ER, Esha, who really didn't like Arzan, immediately walked away from him. Arzan was silent. He could understand how Esha and his Father were feeling right now. But Arzan tried to muster up the courage to start a conversation with Lavanya's Father and Esha.

"Excuse me, Uncle. How are you? Lavanya said, is there something you want to tell me?"

"I don't know why. Yes, there's something I want to ask you."

"Ask what, Uncle?"

"But you have to answer honestly and from the bottom of your heart. Without any lies with me and the others. Especially to Lavanya."

Arzan was confused by Lavanya's Father's words just now. But Arzan accepts everything.

"Yes, Uncle. I will answer it honestly from the bottom of my heart. What do you want to ask?"

"Good then. I want to ask, how do you feel about my child, Lavanya? Do you really love and care for her or is there something else that made you approach my child?"

This question not only surprised Arzan. But everyone there was also surprised. Arzan was confused about what to answer. But because he had promised that he would answer honestly from the bottom of his heart, Arzan answered him that way.

"I love and care for Uncle's child, Lavanya sincerely, Uncle. I don't have any other evil thoughts or intentions. Because I started loving Lavanya before I knew that Lavanya was Uncle's daughter. Lavanya is Uncle's daughter, I won't dare to approach her. Because I also know who I am. And I'm sorry for all this. All of this is my fault. For the sake of Lavanya's family harmony, I promise, I will stay away from Lavanya from this moment on also. Uncle, you don't have to worry or think much anymore because of this problem," explained Arzan at length.

Everyone fell silent hearing Arzan's answer. For Lavanya, Arzan's answer was a painful one for her. But back again. For the sake of her Father's health and well-being, Lavanya is willing to do anything. Including if she really had to stay away from Arzan. The person she loves right now.
