As a parent, he just needs to help and support all of his son's decisions. Whatever the risk.
"Then where is Lana? Is she all right?" now grandma asked again.
"She's in that room, Mom," answered Mr. Atmadja as he turned his head to the side, but could no longer find Jerry there. Maybe the man walked into his wife's room when everyone was coming.
"Then Byanca? Where is that woman?" Grandma asked again.
"Regarding that, I don't know, Mom," replied Mr. Atmadja.
Grandma just nodded. Then rose from her position.
"Where are you going, Mom?" asked Mr. Atmadja.
"I want to see Lana's condition," she said then approached the room where Byanca's mother was being treated while waiting for Devan and Claire to come out of Seira's room.
"Okay, Mom," replied Mr. Atmadja.
"I feel that Jerry and Lana are very shocked by what happened," Mrs. Serly said to the man next to her.
"I thought so too. I didn't even expect that something like this would happen. Everything was beyond my expectations," she added.
"Forget it, what we need to think about right now is how our family relates to them," said Melvin chimed in.
"Should I apologize to them?" asked Mr. Atmadja, he didn't know, he just felt a little guilty for Devan's actions, who exposed Byanca's disgrace in front of many people. Remembering their family's help when the company almost went bankrupt.
It wasn't that he wasn't angry, he was angry that Byanca had toyed with his family, and risked the relationship between the two families. It's just that he doesn't have the heart for Lana and Jerry, because in his view, the two figures don't know anything about their daughter's actions.
So it would look very evil if he also blamed the woman's parents.
Hearing this, Serly and Melvin glanced at each other. For this, they do not know how to respond. They feel all wrong.
What Byanca did was wrong, but Jerry and Lana's kindness left them unsure of what to do.
While on the other hand, Devan who was already in Seira's room just stood right next to Claire. Staring at his mother without blinking.
"I'm sorry," Claire said suddenly breaking the silence of the room.
"Why are you apologizing?" Dave suddenly asked, ahead of his father who seemed to want to say the same thing.
"All of this happened because of me. Something like today wouldn't have happened if it weren't for me," Claire muttered in the lowest possible voice.
"What did you say, honey?" Devan's response.
"What happened today has nothing to do with you. Byanca acted on her conscience and will. She deserves the consequences of all her actions. Do you know? I have given this woman subtle warnings many times, asking her to end this marriage, but what did she do? She cheated on the whole family and played behind my back, I don't care about that, because I haven't had feelings for her since I found her having sex with another man a few years ago before I met you."
"So never blame yourself. I fell in love with you even after I had no more interest in other women out there," Devan said.
"I had feelings for you before I even knew that I had a child with you," he added.
Hearing that, Claire was just silent. Somehow, she just felt bad, she also didn't know what caused her to feel that way. But on the other hand, she couldn't deny that she was happy. She is happy because the man she loves also has the same feelings as her. And Claire was very grateful for that.
"Daddy, who is this old lady?" suddenly Dave's voice was heard, one of his hands pointed at Seira who was still unconscious in front of them.
"She is my mother, honey."
"Your mother? Does that mean she is my grandmother too?" Dave asked turning to Devan with an innocent look.
Claire looked up too and saw her son.
"That's right, honey. She is your grandmother too," Devan replied, pinching his son's cheek.
"May I know his name, Daddy?" Dave asked again.
"You can call her 'Grandma Seira', honey."
"Grandma Seira? Alright. She looks a lot like you Dad," Dave said again and managed to make Devan smile again.
"Is Grandma Seira seriously ill?" asked the boy again.
"No honey, she just passed out," replied Devan.
"Fainted? Will she wake up soon?" Dave asked again.
"Hopefully, honey."
"Daddy, is Grandma Seira fierce?"
"Why do you say that, honey?"
"I was just asking, Daddy."
Devan nodded at his son's words.
"Your mother was beautiful too, Dad," said Dave.
"I'm very happy," he added.
"Eh? Really?" response Devan looked gently at his son.
"That's right, Daddy. The people around me are beautiful and handsome. I like them all, Uncle Leo, Aunty Naila, they are good to me," Dave replied innocently.
Devan chuckled at his son's words.
"Dave, come here. Your father will be tired if he continues to carry you like that," said Claire suddenly as she raised her hands to grab her son.
"Let him be with me, honey. You sit down," Devan replied.
Hearing that, Claire just took a deep breath then turned her gaze to Mrs. Seira who seemed to be still asleep.
Slightly straightening the blanket covering her body, she whispered, "Mom, I hope you wake up quickly, I hope you are fine, and I hope you forgive me and can accept me together with Devan," she said sat back in her chair beside the gurney.
"She'll be fine, honey. My mother is a very strong woman. Don't worry about it. She'll wake up soon," Devan replied immediately when he heard Claire's muttering.
"Hopefully so."
Devan nodded in agreement, then said again, "We should just wait outside. Maybe the others also want to see my mother's condition."
"Okay," Claire replied briefly and stood up from her position, her gaze still not leaving Mrs. Seira.
"Okay, don't worry about her, honey. She's fine," Devan said then grabbed Claire's arm and walked out of the room.
After the door of the room closed, a small movement was seen in Seira's fingers.. Not only that, clear granules seemed to flow from her eyes which were still tightly closed.
