Aleena repeatedly glanced at her watch, it had been almost 1 hour she was there, but the person Aleena was waiting for had not come yet
Tomorrow's the mother's schedule for the second dialysis this month. Aleena was confused because the money was not enough. While Bella's savings have run out for her mama's treatment in recent months, the catering business cannot be run because of Aleena's busy teaching at Pelita Harapan and also her cooking skills are still substandard. While the condition of mama Rossa is not possible to handle the effort.
Aleena has opened private lessons to increase her income, but her private student monthly fee will only be paid next week. Aleena doesn't feel good about asking for a fee before her time falls.
Therefore Aleena desperately invited to meet the father who had been two years he never again contact.
Aleena breathed a sigh of relief as she looked at the figure that had finally come. A miss? I don't know Aleena feels ordinary, her heart feels bland. Perhaps the effect of the wound that the man was infuriating was too deep.
"How's Aleena doing, what's the dream after all these years that you've suddenly contacted papa?"
The man sat before Aleena, his face looking bright. It looked arrogant and Aleena felt foreign.
"Aleena's good, but mama's sick right now" Aleena had to feel disappointed to go so many times when she saw the papa was not surprised or showing concern. It looks ordinary.
"Just right away, Aleena needs money for mama's treatment. You have kidney failure and need to wash your blood 2 times a month. Aleena's salary is only enough for one blood wash while insurance can't cover everything"
Aleena said unceremoniously, the man's expression was still flat.
"Can't you give Aleena a loan?"
The papa looked at Aleena, still looking flat expressionless
"Papa and Rossa are divorced, so anything about Rossa is not your responsibility anymore. So sorry you couldn't help"
Aleena's eyes were round in disbelief that the once generous father was now transformed into a figure of no mercy.
"But Aleena's still papa's responsibility, right? all this time Aleena and mama didn't ask papa for anything even though Aleena was entitled. Mama took over the responsibilities of papa towards Aleena, mama always trying to meet all Aleena needs. So can you now have a little pity on your mom and help her with her treatment? just think of it as papa's responsibility for these two years that hands off Aleena" Aleena held tightness in her chest, she felt so miserable at her papa's words.
"Sorry papa can't. Please don't bother papa anymore. Let's act like this all along. Papa's life is happy with papa's new family. You're an adult, fight. Do not live by expecting the mercy of others"
Other guy? So asking for help from his own biological father is considered begging for mercy on others?
"Alright, thank you for your time sir. Excuse me" Aleena passed from before the man, he felt discouraged at the attitude of the papa. It turned out that her decision to meet the man was a very wrong decision.
Maybe the brain of the father has been washed by his woman until the man of his pride has changed so much. Aleena doesn't recognize him anymore.

"Ran, tomorrow's your schedule for dialysis. I don't have enough money this month. Can I borrow your money first? " Nearly 8 years of friendship with Rania, this is the first time he borrowed money on the girl. Aleena didn't know where else to go.
"Duh Al, I don't have that kind of money. Monthly rations from papa uda run out because I bought the latest output bag. This month I uda twice asked for additional allowance, so I do not dare to ask again" said Rania with a look of regret. Aleena smiled bitterly, he forced himself to come here to meet Rania even he was willing to meet Ivan who he always avoided because they were both having lunch in a cafe.
"Oh yes that's it. I went home first Ran" Aleena passed from before Rania with a sense of disappointment that he could not pat.
Despite trying to understand Rania, her heart was still disappointed. Given their friendship that has been established for quite a long time but Rania is so heavy giving him a loan of money that Aleena knows is not a big amount for the girl. Probably no more than Rania's pocket money for 3 days.
Aleena's head felt like it was going to break thinking about where she should look for money.
Meanwhile after Aleena left Rania returned to the table where Ivan was.
"What does Aleena need to do to find you here?" Ask Ivan.
"You borrowed money to wash her mama's blood" replied Rania casually.
"What's the pain?"
This is what Rania has always disliked, Ivan always wanted to know a lot about Aleena. All this time he had avoided discussing Aleena with Ivan as much as possible.
"Chronic kidney failure, should wash the blood once every two weeks"
"You want to borrow it?"
"No, Rania no longer has money" and Ivan knew Rania was lying.
"You're a prospective doctor but why is there no compassion for patients who need help. I'm sure you can't possibly not have the money" said Ivan cynically. The more days he knows the quality of a Rania. A spoiled girl who harnesses the power of parents to achieve her goals.
"Ah anyways Aleena borrowed money with Rania just camouflage, to cover up her true behavior. Even though he has a lot of money, just ask for the same sugar daddy" said Rania cynical.
"I don't think about friendship among women. You know your best friend, you know a lot about Aleena. But you've opened up the secret to me. Shouldn't friends protect each other? even you were so heartless not to help him when his mother needed help" Ivan smiled cynically.
"Rania is just the same story you are aja mas, because you are the future husband of Rania. so there is no harm in opening up the same prospective husband himself. About the money Rania not her do not care but emang again do not have aja. anyways Rania uda said Aleena it has a lot of sugar daddy is not difficult is she got that kind of money, anyway, just don't doang can get 10 times him" Ivan clenched his hands. Hearing Rania's story makes Ivan so fed up, both with Aleena and with Rania.
