Chapter 23 – Panic.
"Michael could only smack the table speechless".
Not long after, Michael made an international call.
"Hello Charles…".
"What are you calling me for?". Asked Charles over the phone.
Michael immediately told the events of today without missing a single one.
"You're too hasty, you should have gathered evidence first before going to your father. Now, your father will definitely disturb Sophia because he knows that you will do a lot of things to get back with Sophia". Charles said after hearing Michael's story.
"You're right, I got too emotional. Now, I've endangered Sophia. But, I hope my dad doesn't do anything". Michael felt sad and explained himself.
"Actually it's not your father that you should worry about because sometimes what seems dangerous is nothing compared to someone who looks harmless."
Michael fell silent at Charles' advice.
"What do you mean? Is there anything more dangerous than my father in my family?". Michael asked confusedly.
"Danger is always there especially for those of us who are used to dealing with danger, as long as we put ourselves in a dangerous environment. Now, you have to be more careful because we don't know who is the enemy and who is the enemy".
"I understand!". After that Michael hung up the phone, then he came out of the study with a terrible expression.
The next morning.
"Help …". Mrs. Anggi shouts and wakes Michael up.
"Why is she shouting so early in the morning?". Michael thought as he rubbed his eyes.
"Help …".
A second cry for help made Michael rush out.
"Mother, what's wrong?" Michael asked after he met Mrs. Anggi.
"Zian fell down the stairs, hit his head and injured his hand." Mrs. Angi with fear.
Michael immediately panicked, he saw Zian who was in his mother's arms. Immediately his heart ached.
After that, Michael immediately carried Zian. He then ran out of the house.
Luckily, his driver had the car ready at the door.
Without saying anything, Michael took Zian to the hospital with his mother.
A few minutes later they arrived at the hospital.
"Doctor, how is my grandson doing?". Asked Mrs. Anggi when she saw the doctor coming out of Zian's room.
"You don't have to worry! Your grandson is just in shock, his injuries are also light so he can go home today". The doctor replied with a smile.
Hearing the explanation from the doctor, Mrs. Anggi smiled between her tears. Michael also hugged his mother because Zian was fine.
After that, the two of them entered Zian's room.
"Zian… Does your head hurt?". Michael asked while holding Zian's hand.
Zian shook his head slowly.
"Is that true!". asked Mrs. Angie again.
Zian again nodded his head three times.
At that moment, Mrs. Anggi felt relieved and hugged her grandson.
"Then I'll go home first Mother! Later, you will be picked up by the driver". Michael said after making sure things were fine.
Mrs. Anggi looked at her son with a sad expression.
"Michael, wait!" Mrs. Anggi pulled Michael's arm who was about to leave.
"What's wrong mom?".
"Did you fight with your father last night? Do you really remember your past?". asked Mrs. Anggie nervously.
Michael was silent, he could feel the anxiety and fear in his mother.
"Answer my question, Michael!". Mrs. Anggi impatiently.
Michael looked weakly at his mother, he gripped his pajamas tightly as he hesitated to answer his mother's question.
"Tell Mother!" Mrs. Anggi urges Michael one more time.
"Don't you know how much I love Sophia? She is breathing and vitamins to my brain. Hearing that she has suffered for eight years makes me tormented. Someone said that Dad hit Sophia so that my son died. That's why I am very angry at Dad". Michael replied.
"It turns out that Michael has not been able to forget Sophia, how about this? Looks like I have to meet Sophia". Mrs. Angie restlessly.
After that, Mrs. Anggi looked deeper into her son's eyes. "Then don't bother Sophia anymore! Don't give her any more pain! I'm sure that Sophia is fine now".
Michael remembered Amel's words asking him to stay away from Sophia. However, he feels that he will not be able to do it, because Sophia is his first and deepest love.
"I'm going home now!" Michael said goodbye after saying that, because he didn't want to hear anything more from his mother.
Mrs. Anggi is getting worried seeing Michael ignore her, she knows that her child is very stubborn, therefore she must take precautions so that Michael does not bring up his past.
Time passed so fast, without realizing that night had arrived. After finishing his work at the office, Michael suddenly wants to meet Sophia even though he doubts that she wants to meet him.
"Boss, are you ready to go home?" Jason asked.
"Yes". Michael answered curtly.
"But, tonight you have dinner with the mayor, have you forgotten!". Said his secretary who suddenly appeared from behind.
"Cancel!".
Jason and Eliana looked at each other, they didn't expect that their boss would just cancel an important meeting with a mayor.
