BOTH WILL BE BURNED TODAY. The news headlines had adorned Henry's eyes in Louisa's inpatient room there. There wasn't much he could do at this point. The palm of his right hand that gripped the television remote had been shaking unceasingly since he decided to watch the news. Henry turned his head towards Louisa who was still unconscious. He had already taken care of all the things needed for Louisa's future care. No one else was allowed to see him other than the doctors and nurses at the hospital. Even Tomkins House employees, can only meet Louisa after all Louisa's condition is fine. pip Henry turned off the television, and placed the remote in the small drawer under the television that hung on the wall there. Then slowly, Henry got up and walked closer to Louisa's nightstand, then sat on the chair that was there. "I miss your voice, Louisa." Henry muttered as he gently stroked the top of Louisa's head. Then both of his palms turned to hold Louisa's left palm. 'I probably won't be able to endure waiting for you to wake up, Louisa. So, hurry up and wake up…" Henry mumbled again. This time, there were tears that welled up in Henry's eyes for the umpteenth time. Henry rested his forehead on Louisa's palm. Starting to fall asleep. Almost all night he couldn't sleep because he was worried about Louisa's condition. Besides that, with the hectic situation outside the hospital, he could still hear it from inside Louisa's room. Many reporters were waiting for them. Wondering and trying to get information about Louisa's condition right now. Henry contacted some friends at his agency to help him deal with the situation. And it seems pretty under control. For now on. *** 'Lenore Josh Caldor is a good son, wise, funny and the best. He never said no to us, his parents. All was well, when he told us he had a girlfriend, Maximiliana Hurd Caldor. Our daughter-in-law. The kindest woman we know. A wise, and funny daughter. Everything is perfect. We never thought we would lose both of them at the same time like now. But we know that they are now happy with God. And all is well." Lenore's father paused. Trembling in her hands, she began to wipe the tears at the corners of her eyes. "We will not blame, or sue anyone else. But we hope that one day all the truth will be revealed. Then after that, we will be much better. We release the two of you, Lenore Josh Caldor and Maximiliana Hurd Caldor. May you both rest in peace and happiness always, by God's side." He went on and ended his farewell. Currently Lenore and Miliana's funeral is being held. After reading the farewell letter, Lenore's father came down from the podium and followed the funeral of the two coffins containing the bodies of Lenore and Miliana there. All friends and family come there. There were only a few reporters who took pictures without uttering a word there. Respect the grief that is clearly visible in the cemetery area. So is Henry. He came to the funeral there. Henry was standing near a tree a little away from the crowd at Lenore and Miliana's funeral. He tucked his hands into his trouser pockets. He came to Lenore and Miliana's funeral as much as he could at this time. Of course, after asking one of his friends for help to look after Louisa in her inpatient room at the hospital. He didn't want to be careless. But his presence there, was probably the right thing too. After all, Lenore and Miliana were like friends and companions to him as well as to Louisa. The funeral went smoothly. And after the two chests were put in the hole, Henry decided to walk slowly closer to it. Standing right at the very back of the people who were also there. He didn't know what he would say if he met Lenore's parents in person there. Or how he can answer all the questions that everyone might ask him. Whether it's about Louisa's condition, or maybe about the bomb explosion earlier. He won't be able to answer all of them. And he wouldn't be able to do it in the slightest. Drrrtt Drrrtt Henry's cell phone, which was in his pocket, vibrated, and immediately startled him. Immediately, Henry took his cell phone from his trouser pocket. Bri, his friend who helps Henry look after Louisa calls him. Panic was instantly apparent on Henry's face. Immediately, he distanced himself from the funeral crowd there. Henry also picked up the call there. "Yes, Bri? What is it? What happened? Is everything okay? Louisa..." Henry asked Bri a lot of questions as soon as he picked up the call there. "Hey, calm down buddy. Slowly ask me. You make me dizzy. And yes, all is well. I hope you can come soon, there is something you need to know. And it would be good if it was said no through this phone call." answered Bri explained in his voice that sounded calm there. "Um, yes. Okay. I-I'll be right there soon." Without waiting for an answer from Bri, Henry immediately turned off the cellphone call, then ran out of the cemetery area towards his car. He no longer cared about the wounds on his body that hurt every time his two feet stepped on. He doesn't care anymore. The only thing on his mind now was Louisa. And he should be able to come to the hospital as soon as possible. Look at Louisa's condition. Henry's mind was confused with all the predictions that entered his mind. Henry was trying very hard to get rid of all the negative thoughts, while driving his car at a moderate speed right there right now. To the hospital. *** "Bri!" Henry shouted as soon as he reached the fourth floor where Louisa's inpatient room was. Henry ran over to Bri who was sitting on a chair outside Louisa's room. Bri got to his feet when he heard Henry's voice, then looked up at him. A doctor and a nurse were seen just coming out of Louisa's inpatient room. Henry managed to catch his breath that felt tight from running there. "What is it? A-is everything okay? Louisa… is she okay?" Henry immediately asked about Louisa's condition there. "Calm down, Henry. Let's just listen to the explanation that will be given by the doctor." said Bri who tried to calm Henry there. Henry decided to keep quiet. Then looked at the doctor and nurse who was standing right in front of him right now. 'Sir, Miss Louisa is already fine. She had already made it through her critical period. And this is beyond our expectations. We think that he will wake up tomorrow, and with many other possibilities. But not. Miss Louisa is fine now." Hearing this, Henry immediately smiled broadly with his feelings of emotion there. Louisa is fine. 'And sir, I hope, you can overcome this condition of Miss Louisa who just woke up. Tell her about what's been going on slowly. And if we need help or treatment, we immediately press the button next to the nightstand." continued the doctor explained. "Of course. Of course. I will be careful. Thank you Thank you very much." Said Henry several times. He couldn't help but feel the happiness he was feeling right now. After that, the doctor and nurse immediately left from there. Leaving Henry and Bri still standing quietly outside the door of Louisa's inpatient room there. Henry turned and looked at Bri who smiled sympathetically at him. "Congratulations mate. She's fine right now. Now meet her. Okay?" said Bri with a small smile on his face, and the palm of his left hand which was patting Henry's shoulder several times right there at this very moment. Henry nodded his head in a swift motion. The wide smile didn't leave his face in the slightest at this moment. "Thank you so much for your help." Henry muttered at last. Brian nodded his head slowly. "You're welcome. Now, I have to get back to work. See you later, Henry." Bri answered as he took his bag that was on the chair, then walked away. Now Henry was alone at the door. He felt a chill all over his body right now. Then slowly, Henry opened the door to the room, and poked his head looking inside. He saw Louisa who was currently sitting leaning on the head of the nightstand there. Henry tried to smile. Then he walked into the room, closing the door. Walking slowly closer to Louisa's nightstand. "Hey, Henry. You are okay, right?" Louisa asked in a hoarse voice. Henry nodded his head in a stiff motion. There were tears in his eyes now. "I am fine. I'm fine…" He mumbled. And when Henry was right beside Louisa's nightstand, he couldn't hold himself back anymore. Until in the end, Henry hugged Louisa's body quite tightly. This immediately made Louisa smile broadly on her face. "I'm glad that you're okay. I'm scared. The doctor said your condition is much better than mine. But I don't believe it, because I haven't seen it myself. Because you weren't there when I opened my eyes. There was only your work friend earlier. Henry, where have you been? Did you check your condition too?" Louisa asked anxiously. Henry let go of his arm. Try to stay calm. After all, Louisa had just come to her senses. 'There is no problem whatsoever. Calm down. You just woke up, and still need a lot of rest. Come on, you should rest first." Henry tried to divert the conversation, while holding Louisa's shoulder. Louisa looked at him with a frown on her forehead. There was a feeling of suspicion he felt at this moment. Louisa felt that Henry was hiding something from her. "Not. Henry, you're acting weird. What are you hiding from me?" Louisa asked. She couldn't help herself at this point from asking. And sure enough, after saying that, Louisa saw Henry standing there stiffly. Henry was silent and surprised. Absolutely can't believe that Louisa would ask herself on target like that. "Not. There's not a single thing I'm hiding. You just need more rest, Louisa. You just realized, and passed your critical period." Henry tried one more time. Louisa shook her head in a swift motion. Something is wrong here. "No, Henry. Tell me everything. After that I will rest. What are you trying to hide from me? And... and where have you been this morning? What? Did a lot of things happen after the explosion? W-how?? Tell me, Henry!!" Louisa lost control of herself. 'Louisa, calm down. I beg you... I-I'll tell you. But, you calm down first." Henry tried to calm Louisa down. Louisa fell silent slowly, with her breath mingling. She felt so scared for a moment. And Louisa felt that what Henry was going to say right now was a big thing for her right now. Henry finally sat down on the chair beside Louisa's nightstand. Henry's right palm gripped Louisa's left palm there quite tightly. He started to catch his breath. Henry should be able to calm down and explain things slowly. 'This morning, I went to the funeral. After the bomb exploded, many victims fell, including you who had to go into the operating room, Louisa." Henry paused. Can not. He couldn't afford to do it. "Whose funeral, Henry?" Louisa muttered with her voice trembling. 'Lenore and Miliana's funeral. They died from severe head injuries and burns all over their bodies." Henry answered slowly. "W-what?" Louisa couldn't believe it was happening. Her body felt cold. 'And yesterday the doctor also said that… when it happened, you were pregnant, Louisa. And you miscarried. We lost our child, Louisa." Henry continued by closing his eyes. And at that moment, Louisa's tears flowed freely with suppressed sobs. She was speechless. And Henry slowly got up and hugged her tightly. Come cry there.
