C2 Sorry
Aaron stepped on the gas pedal so that the red sports car accelerated faster through the deserted road. Tonight, no star decoration lights up the sky. Like feeling the emptiness of Aaron's heart right now.
Derry's words, saying that he loved Angela, seemed to ring out along with the shadow of the hot struggle that Aaron caught.
"Aargh!" Aaron gave a frustrated cry. His hands hit the steering wheel as an outlet for his anger.
After two years of Aaron and Angela having love in a relationship and a wedding plan that counts the days, suddenly all the hopes that have been arranged with joy are shattered.
His name is Aaron Ricardo Muhammad. Vice President of the company Ricardo Corp. He was only twenty-eight years old. The first child of three siblings. Derry, Aaron's first younger brother, who is twenty-two years old, and Moza, who is still in the twelfth grade of high school.
"Shit! Why does this have to happen to me? Why?!” Aaron screamed in frustration in the car.
Accidentally Aaron's eyes looked into the car rearview mirror and caught Derry who was trying to catch up with his black sports motorbike.
Aaron glared straight ahead. The speed of the car is increasing. Lately, Aaron was suspicious of Derry, but as much as possible he brushed his suspicions off.
However, Aaron's suspicions were real. Derry kept feeling for Angela until it darkened his eyes by having the heart to do something heinous like that. And Aaron, it is impossible to continue his wedding plans with Angela. If it was true that Derry had given stimulants to Angela without the woman's knowledge, still Aaron could not possibly marry a woman who was already owned by another man.
Maybe, Aaron was too selfish because he questioned Angela's chastity, but hearing the pleasure of Derry and Angela's union caused Aaron to feel disgusted. As if, Angela was enjoying Derry's game on her body. Apart from that, Derry is his own younger brother and he already knows that the young man did something forbidden out of love. And Aaron couldn't do anything else, but let Angela with Derry.
Even though it hurt, Aaron tried to convince his heart that this was the best way of saying that he and Angela were not matched.
The appearance of a cat that ran across the road, made Aaron startled until reflexively swerved a steering wheel and...
"AAAA!!"
Brukk!
Chittt...
"DADDY!!"
Aaron's breath was raging. The heart beats so fast. His feet were limp with cold sweat soaking his palms.
With a slow-motion, Aaron turned his head to the side and he felt as if a chunk of ice was crashing into his body.
A girl sobbing with tears tries to wake a man lying helplessly on the asphalt.
Aaron raised his trembling hands. The image of the accident a few minutes ago crossed Aaron's mind.
"Daddy, wake up! Daddy!"
Derry hurried down from the motorbike. Half ran over to Aaron's car.
"Aaron get down!" Derry tapped Aaron's windshield as he asked him to get out of the car.
Aaron took off his seat belt then immediately got out of the car. His eyes could not be separated from someone he had hurt and the girl who had been crying while trying to wake up the man's consciousness.
"You have to take responsibility you've made that person hurt," said Derry, who saw the crash.
Aaron shook his head lightly. Her sense of disbelief that she had bumped the man. Her anger at Derry had been replaced by fear and guilt.
Aaron's body seemed to freeze and his legs seemed heavy to take a step with. His mind was blank, too shocked to face this.
"Daddy, wake up! I beg you not to be like this, Daddy!"
Blood does not stop flowing from the back of the head. Makes Shena afraid about losing the figure who became her first love.
"Come on, hurry up and take that person to the hospital! You have to take responsibility!" Derry's scream seemed not to be heard by Aaron.
That voice, made Shena stop crying then raised her head and looked at the figure that had made her father hurt.
Shena's hands clenched tightly. Immediately he ran towards the two men. From what Shena saw, she could tell who the culprit was. And Shena's glare fell on Aaron.
Plak!!
"YOU WHO HAVE to MAKE MY DADDY AN ACCIDENT! YOU MUST BE RESPONSIBLE!"
Shena screamed with endless tears. Both of her hands were active in throwing punches on Aaron's burly body.
♡♡♡
Here they are now, in front of the emergency room where the man was the victim of Aaron's accident.
Aaron stood leaning against the predominantly white wall of the hospital. His gaze could not be separated from the girl named Shena who had walked back and forth in front of the ER while crying and praying for her father. Meanwhile, Derry took care of the administration in the front row.
"Oh my God, congrats Daddy. Give recovery for him," said Shena hopefully.
Aaron's feet seemed heavy to step up to Shena just to calm her down. However, his existence, who was the culprit of the accident, made Aaron helpless, and felt he did not deserve to win over the girl's sadness.
Their gazes met, then Shena stepped closer to Aaron. Anger was visible in her eyes.
Plak!
Once again, the slap flew across Aaron's cheek.
"It's all because of you! What's my Daddy's fault that you have to make it like this, huh?" exclaimed Shena.
Aaron lowered his gaze. She was guilty and she couldn't escape the fact that she was the one who made this accident happen. Because anger burns in the heart, other people become victims.
The ER room glass doors opened to reveal a male doctor who was treating Shena's father.
Immediately Shena stepped closer to Doctor Ridwan followed by Aaron.
"Doctor, what about my daddy's condition?" Shena asked as soon as she could.
"Previously, I apologize profusely have done our best to save the patient. However, fate said otherwise."
Duaar!
"Doctor, what do you mean?" Shena's lips trembled, holding back sobs.
Doctor Ridwan shook his head slowly. "I'm sorry about your Daddy's passing."
The atmosphere was so tense. Shena's legs felt weak as if they couldn't hold her body. Shena closed her eyes, feeling the turmoil of the wound as if her heart had been hit with a sharp object.
"Daddy ...," she whispered.
Aaron immediately held Shena's body which was about to fall.
However, Aaron received an immediate refusal, even he felt a beating from the girl.
"Murderer! You have killed my daddy! You are evil!" shouted Shena, charging at Aaron with multiple punches.
Aaron can only be silent to receive blow after blow from Shena. It didn't matter how much pain he felt, because the pain was incomparable to what Shena was feeling right now.
Then, Aaron grabbed Shena by the waist and brought her into a hug. The girl balked, but Aaron kept this position until Shena calmed down a little.
"You are the meanest man I have ever met! You are a murderer!"
Shena's punch grew weaker until it finally stopped when she felt her strength getting thinner. Sobs after sobs that cut the heart continued to escape from his lips.
Her shoulders rose and fell to dispel the sobs that were becoming more and more intense.
Aaron hugged Shena even tighter.
His hand rubbed the girl's back. Without realizing it, Aaron shed tears.
"I'm sorry."
