Sofia stared intently at Alex's faithful eyes waiting for her in front of the ICU room. I do not know how long the sentence he had read so that the secretary and bodyguard went from there. But the man remained unmoved. Still in the same position. Standing at the ICU door for hours. Sofia thought to herself, isn't she feeling tired? some of his colleagues had even reprimanded him to go home quickly without waiting for the shift change.
"Excuse me doctor.” almost Sofia jumped in shock from her seat when suddenly doctor Aka patted her shoulder.
" i.iya doc."
" Your return letter has been taken care of and signed by the head of the hospital. My advice is to go home before afternoon. You know, the difficult terrain still has to be faced until the airport?"
"But doc..i.."
"Doctor Sofia, there are still many colleagues who survive here. Conditions are also getting better.Maybe in a few days we are also sent home. She also works for your husband doc. Do you not pity to see him waiting for you while you can already go home since 4 hours ago? we work for humanity, right?do you want to be labeled as a doctor who doesn't have human beings?" deg.hati Sofia. His face felt slapped. What the senior doctor said was true. Allowing Alex to wait in that position would instead lead to a lot of negative assumptions on her.
"I'm sorry doc."
"You should apologize to her doctor. We also rebuke because of humanity. Hope you're not offended." Sofia smiled faintly. Tidied up his desk and handed over the patient data to a nurse. He decided to go home as Nando requested. She knew Alex was a man who was very obedient to her husband and would not give up until she came home. Sofia immediately bids farewell to all the medical personnel and some patients then approached Alex who was still faithful waiting for her there.
"That's right through here, madam." There was no answer from Sofia's lips. Let alone decide the course of her life, choosing the way home she had been arranged by Alex with her husband's permission. There's a tightness in Sofia's chest.
Alex took him to a parked car in the yard next to the hospital. He hurried to open the door and saluted his mistress's wife. Almost simultaneously when both of them wear sunglasses. The sun is very hot. There needs to be protection for the eyes at a time like now.
Along the way to the airport, Sofia was pensive in silence. Only his eyes glared through the trees far away. No meaningful conversation from them. Alex who was sitting next to the driver also just pursed his lips. His watchful eyes scanned every single thing seen in front of him. For alertness, Alex is above average.
The last flight took them to Jakarta. In the iron bird, Sofia was again struck by a dilemma. He knew his task would be done once Elle could get back to seeing. That means, Nando will also take steps to divorce her according to their initial agreement. He should be happy because he can freely live as he wants, but the thought of Elle makes him not have the heart. The shadow of his parents, brothers, uncles and aunts immediately flashed like a movie Scene. How he remembered the shadow of them all when he found his soul mate and married even without their presence. Their prayers and hopes always make them strong wherever they are. How could he see their smiles all end in disappointment once he knew he was going to get a divorce?
"Please mistress." Alex showed me his seat and walked to the other seat. Sofia glanced at the empty chair beside her, there was a relief of its own once she knew Alex wasn't sitting next to her. There will be other passengers sitting there. It means Sofia won't get extra scrutiny from her husband's acutely obedient secretary, but the thought goes away when Alex picks up her phone call.
There, Nando's voice sounded. Sofia knows, Alex has activated her rear camera and is highlighting herself.
"good. Don't let anyone approach the mistress in the intense distance until she gets home." Sofia knew that Nando had deliberately ordered the booking of tickets on several benches on a plane that was close to her for some reason. What is clear is that he does not want to think of things and incriminate himself. Enough Fernando has arranged his life, later he will certainly be free like an eagle flying high into space.
It didn't feel like the plane had landed once it was dark. Sofia insists on heading to the hospital without returning to the main house according to Nando's orders. It's nothing, he wants to see Elle's condition. Alex refuses because he does not dare to go against the orders of the employer, but Sofia immediately calls Nando who is waiting for Elle in his nursery. I don't want that guy to let it either.
"Assalamualaik."
"Getishalam." Nando stared fixedly at the woman at the door. There was a coolness at the sight of the smile until he did not realize that the woman had already grabbed his right hand and kissed his back reverent.
"How's Elle mas doing?" sofia whispered when she saw Elle falling asleep.
"He's kind. Elle fell asleep because of the effect of the drug that Edward's doctor gave her. Why not rest at home?"
"I'm sorry." he sighed. There was a clear regret looming on his father's face. He walked over to Elle's bed to melt the tense atmosphere and make her stifled.
" Lex, you go home. Rest." Nando ordered.
"Good young master. You can contact me if you need anything. Excuse me." Nando nodded. Alex puts Sofia's suitcase in the corner of the room and then gets out of there.
"Clean yourself first Sofia, then accompany me to eat."
"Mas haven't eaten yet?"
"waiting for you." Sofia felt her chest rustle. This time Nando was waiting for him to eat. Especially after dinner. Without a word the young woman opened the suitcase, took a clean shirt and towel from there and headed for the bathroom. His body felt tired and sticky because of the long journey.
Only fifteen minutes would it take Sofia to take her lightning shower this time. He didn't want Nando to wait too long. When he opened the door, he saw one of Nando's bodyguards put a food box on the table.
"Sit down!" nando said as he patted the empty spot next to him. Sofia was sitting there with a clumsy feeling. During her time as Nando's wife, only this time did she sit too close to the man. His hand opened his lunch box.
Holy jeez!! almost he shouted excitedly when he saw the grilled gurami in jumbo portions and his favorite sauce. Sofia was so excited to start eating because the worms in her stomach had started to protest for food intake.
"Congratulations don't eat gold? said you haven't eaten?" he asked when he saw Nando just looking at him. The man made no sound, opened his lunch box. Sofia is so anxious to see how to eat Nando that is too difficult to see because it uses a plastic spoon available there. Though the rice and the surface of the fish look rather hard and hard to spoon. Sofia herself chooses to eat using her hands, without the help of a spoon.
"why not eat like me? it's easier."
"I can't." Sofia only realized that her husband was the young master of the Hutama family who grew up in the neighborhood and educated western culture. He's used to his tablemanner.
"You want me to steam?" tawar Sofia hesitated.really she just could not bear to hear the stomach of Nando who also sounded strong sign of himself very hungry. The man nodded.
" Where are you going?" nando asked as he watched Sofia move from his side.
"Wash your hands first. Dirty." Sofia shows her hand that was hit by the sambal.
" No need."
"But...."
"sit down and start bribing me young mistress."
