Chapter 4 - Too Late

"Fel, there's something I want to talk to you, if we can meet at Cafe Bintang at 1 pm this afternoon yes, I want to talk outside because this discussion is about the two of us that parents should not know, if there are questions, later talked about all right to meet ya, see you!"

Fera sent a message to Feli via WhatsApp because Feli was outside the house, so Fera decided to tell her via text message.

Fera awaits confirmation from Feli. However, she was a little surprised because her message was only a blue tick alias read was not replied to.

But whatever happens, Fera will still come to Café Bintang where she specified, and she believes Feli will also come.

Feli is currently with her boyfriend, Daffa.

She was visiting one of the bookstores in the city because she wanted to buy the latest edition of the novel she had been waiting for since last month. Seeing the notification, it was an incoming message on her mobile phone Feli fell silent and frowned slightly.

She was confused and scared.

Because from the message, it was like there was something severe and confidential.

"What happen? Who's sent you a message?" asked Daffa, astonished to see Feli glued to her phone screen.

"Oh, this isn't Fera when I see you later in the day. You drop me at café star around 1 o'clock."

"What is it? How does your face look happy?"

"I also said anyway, before Fera never this serious, I ate a little confused, but yes, see later," Feli replied.

"Ok, Fer, sorry to reply to me again on the road earlier," Feli replied to a message from Fera.

Not felt the time showed at 12:30 pm, Fera had arrived and stood by first at Café Bintang.

She sits at table number three, staring at his phone, and occasionally looks around. The wrinkles on Fera's forehead clearly illustrate that it is so heavy that she is carrying to discuss this issue with her twin.

After a few minutes, Feli came. She walked up to Fera, trying to calm down and relax. Fera also saw her twin from afar was walking towards her occasionally. She felt sorry for Feli if she saw the look on her face that currently looks full of worries.

"Hi Fel, stuck on the road? Where's Daffa?" asked Fera.

"It's good, as usual. "What's wrong, Fer?"

"Well, straight to the point, yes, Fel has two things I want to tell you about you and Daffa," Fera said seriously.

Feli is silent, although she is astonished at what is wrong with her lover, but she tries to appreciate Fera and listens to her explanation first.

"I hope you'll listen to me first, after that if there's a question or anything it's up to you Fel, first of all, actually you have a heart defect, it sounds shocking, but it's not a disease, I'm just saying this, so you know, not to put you down. I wish you had better take care of your health..."

Feli was still silent but this time, coupled with her worries and face that suddenly came pale.

"That's just the first point, the rest I'll explain at home with Mama as well, the second is. About Daffa. You better not continue this relationship with him because...."

Feli suddenly drooped limply and immediately fainted unconsciously in the middle of the conversation.

Everyone in the café was shocked, not least Fera. She was the one who was most worried and panicked instead of playing.

"Fel. Fel, Wake up. Why are you???!!! Servant!! Please help lift my sister!" Fera cried.

Things get pretty complicated in the café because there are many visitors. Fera decides to call her parents and take Feli to the nearest hospital.

Along the way to the hospital, Fera held her twin hands tightly, wishing her well. It took her almost 15 minutes to wake up. Feli's body was still warm and still breathing.

Arriving at the hospital, Feli was immediately taken to the Emergency Department. Along with her parents came Fera was unable to hold back tears, hugging her Mama with feelings of regret.

"It's all Fera Ma's fault!! Wrong Fera! If anything comes to Feli, I will not forgive myself!" Fera hugged her Mother tightly.

"Calm down, baby, calm down. We all pray that Feli is ok. If it's good, we'll tell her again. Don't you ever think like that, Dear." Answer mama calms Fera even though she is panicking.

Not long after, the doctor came out of the room and explained to Fera and her parents that Feli was in a fragile condition. She was conscious, but his pulse was still unstable, allegedly because she was exhausted and the burden of thoughts that made her drop.

Feli can still be talked to, but the doctor advises only tiny talk for fear of unwanted events. Finally, Fera, Mama, and Papa went into the room where Feli was being treated.

They couldn't help but cry at Feli, who looked limp and pale, but she still had time to give them a charming little smile.

"Pa, Ma, Fer. I'm ok. Don't panic; I'm just a little tired." Feli's little voice welcomed her family.

"Honey, we're all here for you."

"Fel, sorry I ya, I don't mean to make you down like this..." said Feli full regretfully.

Mama kept quiet, holding Feli's hand, crying. She couldn't say the word.

"Fera, I'm. That's not why I'm like this, I already feel there's something in me because lately, I've always felt overtired, but yes, it's been at least a week I'm healthy again."

Feli tried to calm her family.

But I don't know why. Feli looked limper, her breathing choked.

"Fer, God seems to call me first. Please take care of Papa and Mama. You take care of yourself, Fer. I love you all so much," Feli said, holding her twin hands in a soft tone.

"Feli!! What do you want?! Mama's here. Please don't do this!" exclaimed Mama.

Feli closed her eyes, and the grip of her hand slipped from Mama's hand. Everyone in the room broke down in tears. Even Fera tried several times to wake Feli up because she believed her twin brother was still alive.

But it turned out that was the last word fell said to her family. Feli left without knowing much what Fera wanted to tell.

It's too late...

Her family doesn't expect that Feli will leave so soon in such an unexpected way. Fera continues to blame herself for what happened to Feli.

"Feliciaaaaaaa! Wake Up! If you go, I have to go too!!!" shouted Fera hugging her twin's body.

Mama and Papa tried to calm Fera, who was very hysterical. The doctor then covered Feli's body with a cloth while apologizing to Gunawan's family.

"We tried our best. However, this incident is beyond our control. We apologize and mourn the passing of your daughter, Felicia."
