Today has been the most exhausting day of the week. There is a myriad of scheduled meetings, visits, and dinners. The clock was only five in the afternoon, and the road was very congested. David, who was driving, was already very stressed. But he was pretty concerned about the condition of his brother and boss. Clara was asleep beside David.
David wondered what he was experiencing in a dream to the point that his forehead was sweating, even though the air conditioner in the car was already quite cold and the weather outside was a little cloudy. It rains a lot now. Every afternoon it rains heavily. And this happens almost every day.
David stepped on the brakes suddenly, making Clara wake up from sleep. Sweat had already flooded her entire body. She's still trying to remember her dream. Who was there? And why the incident was so scary. Clara also saw the situation outside the car she suddenly shouted hysterically, which surprised David.
"What happened?"Asked David astonished.
"There are people in front of us covered in blood."
"What are you saying? There's nothing up there? Are you still dreaming?"
Clara closed her eyes and opened them slowly. And sure enough, there was nothing ahead, only a view of the congested road. Clara was confused as to where the shadow of the person covered in blood had gone. She tried to find the person. She looked to the right and the left.
Clara still didn't find anything. That's when a glimpse of events crossed her mind. At the thought of it, her head ached terribly. Clara moaned very strongly, trying to endure the pain. David smelled the blood.
He turned to Clara. How surprised he saw fresh blood flowing from Clara's nose. Not to mention that Clara held her head very firmly.
"Oh, My God! What's wrong with you? What happened? There's much blood coming out of your nose!"
Not long after, Clara fainted. David was distraught. It had been a long time since anything like this had happened. What was Clara thinking? Did this happen because Clara was too tired? Or something is disturbing her mind.
Now is not the right time for Clara to faint. David was eager to take Clara to the hospital. But the roads here are very congested, and they can't move. David immediately contacted the hospital to send a helicopter to where he is currently.
Arriving at the ER, Clara was immediately handled by a doctor who always treated Clara. David looked very worried. He walked back and forth, waiting for news from the ER room. All the prayers he could he addressed to God. David hoped Clara would be fine.
It was already an hour late, but Clara was still in the ER room. The doctor there had not yet come out to report Clara's condition. When the nurse came out of the room, David approached.
"How is my sister?"
"You're the patient's family on behalf of Clara?"
"That's right. How is my sister's condition?"
"Your sister has been treated well by our team of doctors. And will soon be transferred to the inpatient room. Please follow me to take care of the administration.
"All right. Thank you."
After everything was done, David went straight to Clara's inpatient room. There Clara looked very tired. David wondered what his sister was thinking. The office has been bustling lately.
Many meetings and work visits that Clara did. He was pursuing what he had planned. To acquire this company. Because now the condition of the company is no longer conducive.
All the reports she received were a lot of strange things. David is checking everything. There was misappropriation of funds, and company data was leaked to competitors. This made Clara furious.
Just one more step. If this one thing can be completed, then in the next month, the company will be able to acquire. The number of shares she has is also more than enough.
Although it cannot be denied that there are cunning ways that Clara uses to get what she wants, it does not harm others. Clara just wanted it to speed up her work process.
***
Clara had been in the hospital for three days. Although conscious, his physical condition did not allow him to engage in everyday activities. In every sleep, Clara always dreamed there was a little boy who promised him always to accompany her. And another flash of a dream.
A man from college came with a box of chocolates, and he told Clara that he would always take care of her. Although Clara never knew and will never remember him.
All those dreams were always disturbing Clara's mind. Whenever Clara asks David about the little boy in her dream, David constantly switches the subject. This added to Clara's suspicions. David must be hiding something from her.
Her days in the hospital were dull. Clara can't do her office work because David always forbids her to do that. David asked her to rest. Office affairs he can handle himself.
Even today, Clara can only walk in the hospital garden alone. With the Infuser pole. After tired of walking around, Clara finally rested on a park bench. She watched the children playing. And suddenly, a strange incident flashed through his mind.
As if drawn into the moment where the incident occurred, it made Clara instantly dizzy. She saw herself playing with a boy. But who is the boy? The boy was not David, nor were his brothers and sisters in the orphanage Kasih.
The child seemed familiar to him. But she could not remember who the child was. Unknowingly his nose bled again, and the nurse who accidentally saw that panicked immediately and walked over to Clara. The nurse swiftly took Clara to her treatment room in a wheelchair and ran a little.
The doctor who treated Clara immediately rushed over and checked her condition. The doctor was confused about why Clara could experience this kind of incident. What is this woman thinking? After everything was under control, the doctor tried to get Clara to talk.
"What's the matter with you, hmm?" asks Robert.
Robert is the doctor who has been dealing with Clara's condition since the fatal accident almost took her life. Robert was Clara's closest friend after David.
"I don't know either. I've had weird dreams lately. I was brought up in my childhood. But, I don't remember at all if I ever experienced that incident. And there was one boy who always bothered me. Do you know anything?"
"Um... I suggest you don't have to remember that or try to remember that dream of yours, Clara. Because it could jeopardize your condition. Do you remember? There are still blood clots in your brain. If you force something beyond the power of your brain, I'm afraid something bad will happen. As you know, we both tried to get rid of the clot. But until now, it has remained the same. It can also be dangerous for your condition."
"But I want to know everything! I don't want to go on like this. Do you know how hard it is to be me? I can never remember meeting any clients or people I met for the first time or my employees who were not very close to me. And I have to wait for David to explain first. I have to read the data about them. That bothers me, Robert !"
"Right now, we're trying to treat and even remove those clotted blood clots."
"You always say that! But in fact, it's still the same!."
"Clara! Not everything in our lives can be done quickly and easily. Everything needs a process, baby. You know how much David loves you. You're a sister to him. You're his family, and you know how panicked he is whenever he sees you like this? She's stressed, Clara! He was crying in front of me."
"Huift... all right, doctor Robert Anderson. Your patient will always be patient and follow all your medical recommendations."
"Good girl!"
