I Can'T Have Your Heart.
Starla Longing. * HOSPITAL'S.

"You awake?"

Alpha asked slowly with a smile on her lips as she looked at Starla who was trying to open her eyes after 2 hours of Alpha waiting for her to wake up. Even waiting for an answer from Starla who was still silenced, Alpha who had been waiting for Starla on a sofa not far from Starla's bed immediately moved from her seat before closing her laptop screen and directly approached Starla who was still closing her eyes to adjust light that enters his retina.

"Ka.. You're here?"

Starla asked slowly with her barely audible hoarse voice, but the position of Alpha who was now sitting beside her made Starla's hoarse voice now sound quite clear in her ears.

"Hm.. You saw it yourself, right? I'm right here."

Alpha answered with a smile, and the sweet smile made Starla shed tears, a happy feeling she was unable to hide, when she first opened her eyes, and the sweet smile Alpha saw first, the sweet smile of a man she loved dearly.

"Hey, are you questioning? Is anyone sick?"

Alpha asked a little frantically at the sight of the tears that kept dripping from the corner of Starla's eyes, even though the girl had already shook her head at Alpha's question, but still, the man still looked worried.

"Stop crying" Alpha said, wiping away the remaining tears that had soaked Starla's pale face.

"What did Leon tell you, if I was here?" Ask Starla with her hoarse voice.

"Hm.. Sorry if I found out too late. I don't even know if you're sick and treated here." Answer Alpha.

No. gabe.. I don't think you're late, you're the first person I see when I open my eyes, and do you know, if this is the happiest thing when I wake up.

"It's okay, because the person I first saw when I woke up from sleep was you." Reply Starla with a smile on her lips.

"I'd love to make you smile at a time like this. Get well soon." Reply Alpha while rubbing Starla's head.

One gentle touch that Alpha seems to realize, if that little touch really makes Starla very happy now, because it has received a warm treatment that he never imagined before from a man like Alpha. Even Starla never realized that she had entered Alpha's heart, a heart that had been empty, and Starla was the first girl to successfully make Alpha submissive. Although they still do not realize if they really need each other.

"Istrahathlah.. I'll accompany you here" Alpha said as he clasped Starla's palm.

"But.. I'mfrightened.. " When you wake up, you're not here.

"What's wrong?" Ask Alpha slowly.

"Are you going to stay here?"

"Yes, I'll wait for you here." and won't leave you again, I promise.

"Thank you Mr. Khandra,"

"Alpha," said Alpha, leaning his face directly in front of Starla, leaving only a few inches between them.

"Sorry.."

"Call me Alpha.. " Alpha's sudden whisper made Starla instantly nervous.

"Hm" Reply Starla nodded softly with a suffocating breath, for she could clearly feel the Mint-scented breath of Alpha whispering in her ear.

"Sleep.. " Speak Alpha with a smile on the corner of her lips when she sees Starla's nervous face.

Alpha slowly covers Starla's entire body with a blanket, regulates the air conditioning temperature in the room, and restores herself on the sofa, when she sees Starla closing her eyes. Alpha reopens his laptop and returns to work, with occasional glances fixed on Starla who is asleep.

In a hospital lobby that was not so crowded at the time, the figure of a man in hasty steps is also followed by Assistant and his two bodyguards who always accompany him to the second floor elevator, with a cellphone still attached to his ear.

"I'm on my way there right now, can you tell Dad to be patient?"

The man slightly emphasized his voice that sounded during the current panic, and instantly turned off his phone connection while waiting for the elevator to stop to the 3rd floor right VIP room where his father is in the care now.

Ting..

Until the sound of the elevator is heard indicating that he is already on the 3rd floor. And in a bit of a hurry, though, the man again stepped out of the elevator followed by Assistant and his bodyguard at the back while continuing to stare at the screen of his phone until suddenly his body slightly staggered backward and the phone that had been inside his grasp bounced off as his body unintentionally crashed into another tall strapping body.

"Aaisshh.. Don't you have eyes?"

The man who was none other than Lucas Elfredo to the owner of a tall, cold-faced body who was also wearing a flat expression.

"And what about you? Are your eyes on your feet now? Until someone as big as me doesn't appear in your eyes?" Reply the man with a gaze that was no less cold.

"Fuck, you talk too much, you're tired of living? You don't know who I am?" Snapped the man who seemed to have been gripped by anger, with a sharp look he looked back at the face that was now showing his smirk, making him even more furious.

"Whatever you are, it doesn't matter to me, because in my eyes you're nothing more than a bad-tempered brat who sucks a lot."

"Damn, you.. "

"Mr Lucas, hold your emotions, remember, The great sir is waiting for you now" Whispered the man who had been standing next to him who was none other than his own Assistant.

"But this jerk has to be taught a lesson, he's too presumptuous" said Lucas Elfredo, who still seemed to have received the words of the man still standing before him, even the threats and killing gazes from the two Lucas bodyguards who had taken a step forward did not make the tall white man retreat, even the man who was none other than Leon again showed his smirk smile, but who knows if both hands that each he put into the pocket of Hoodie he was wearing now clenched very tightly, as if holding back emotions that could explode at any time.

"Mr Lucas, control your emotions, remember your purpose in coming here." Assistant Lucas Elfredo said, and he is the only one who is currently still showing a shady look while continuing to try to suppress the anger of his President.

"Our business is not finished yet."

Said Lucas Elfredo who finally listened to the words of his Assistant and immediately stepped away, even deliberately bumping into Leon's shoulder to make Leon's body slightly staggered backward. It is a thing that really tests Leon's patience that can only take a deep breath, because at this time his mind is still quite clear and still able to suppress his emotions. His mind suddenly turned to Starla.

"Akh fuck.. "

For Leon who immediately ran towards the VIP room, his feelings suddenly panicked when he remembered Lucas Elfredo who was currently in the hospital and the same floor as Starla. And in the end Leon was able to breathe with relief, when he saw Starla who was sleeping with her palm in the grip of Alpha who was currently reading a book while waiting and accompanying Starla.

"What's wrong with you?"

Alpha asked as he looked at Leon who was standing at the door holding his stomach with breath and sweat drenching his forehead.

"I.. I wasn't.. What's.. Apad.. " Answer Leon with breath still hunting, to make Alpha frown confused.

"Did you run from the Mansion here?"

Ask Alpha again when he sees Leon stepping towards the sofa not far from the current Alpha sitting position, and did not wait long he immediately lay down his body on the sofa before he finished a bottle of mineral water that he took from the refrigerator of the room.

"You didn't leave Star one bit, did you?" Leon asked as his breathing returned to normal.

"No, I've been here since? What was? You look worried." Ask Alpha in a soft voice.

"We'd better not leave him alone here."

Replied Leon who looked serious with eyes that returned to Starla, while Alpha who seemed to have understood what Leon meant slowly released Starla's hand, and tidied up Starla's blanket before she finally stepped over to Leon on the sofa.

"What's really going on?" Ask Alpha who looks even more worried, while Leon just fell silent while thinking of an answer to the Alpha question at this time.

Ask Alpha who began to look emotional, to make Leon think again if it's good he didn't tell Alpha, who he just saw five minutes ago, and then he said, and who's the man who was once Starla's fiancee. For if he sees from the Alpha, now is not the right time to tell him. And he just needs to keep Starla out of the reach of Lucas Elfredo who is currently even around them, even though they have not realized it yet.

"Can you be more calm?" Leon asked a little whisper.

"How can I calm down if I find out there's something that's going to harm Starla right now."

Reply Alpha with a tone of voice that began to rise, until finally he again suppressed his emotions when he saw Leon who threw his gaze toward Starla who was still asleep in his bed.

"Control your emotions, everything will be fine if we keep looking after her." Leon Said.

"Why are you so sure? and who are these people really?" Ask Alpha who is trying to hold back his emotions.

"I'm so sure, even I'll take care of him. You don't have to worry, you trust me, do you?" Ask Leon who was only in response to a nod by Alpha who completely trusted Leon.

"All.."

"Hm.. "

"Which I see, you seem very worried about Star, have you started to like her?"  Leon asked trying to believe his conjecture all along.

"I just don't want him to get hurt" replied Alpha who was far from Leon's question.

"Are you sure it's just that?"

"I.. I need some fresh air." Alpha answered immediately from his seat, stepping away from Leon who was still gawking when he heard the answer from Alpha to his question just now.

"Please take care of Starla for a moment." Pinta Alpha as she again stops her steps in front of Starla's bedroom door.

"I'll be right back."  He said again and finally completely left, until his shadow disappeared from behind the door.

"It seems to me right, you love that stupid girl," muttered Leon with a slight smile, before he finally laid his body back on the sofa before he checked on Starla.

* * * * *

While in a separate room that is also in the VIP room, there are seen several men in all-black uniforms with high stature and stocky standing guard at the door of the patient in the room who is lying a figure the middle-aged lung man with the infusion still stuck to the back of his hand.

"How do you feel? Is it better?"

Lucas asked the patient, who was none other than his father, Mr. Fredell Elfredo. A figure who is quite powerful and famous, even today no one does not know the Elfredo family that is quite reluctant. Because Mr. Fredell is one of the mafia who operates a world-wide network in the field of prostitution and supply "hostess" and "comfort" to brothels. In addition, Mr. Fredell also engaged in money laundering on a large scale, weapons smuggling, kidnapping, and murder.

"How is your company doing? Is everything going well?"

"Of course."

"Then, what about the BRT GROUP Company have you succeeded?"

"Not yet." Answer Lucas briefly.

"Do you need Daddy's help?"

"No, thank you, I'll take care of my own problems."

"Are you sure you can do it yourself?" Ask Mr. Fredell while looking at his son.

"Of course, I convinced the president enough." Answer Lucas.

"Now, not too long. And remember, I'll be ready to help you if you need me,"

"Yes, now is not the time to think about my Company, think about your health first, in order to recover quickly."

"Tsk, you care about me now? Usually you're always ignorant and don't want to know anything about Dad."

"Here you go, do we have to start arguing again?"

"Dad just said the truth, are your words wrong?"

"Stop, I'd better get back to the company now, I have a lot to do." Lucas said a little annoyed and immediately moved from his seat.

"Are you going to avoid Dad again? It seems you're still very angry with Dad." Reply Mr. Fredell when he sees Lucas preparing to leave.

"If I get angry, there's no way I'm here right now, right?"

Sangkal Lucas tampa looking at the face of the father.

"Your eyes can't lie Lucas, you're Dad's son, so I know that."

"I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed in Dad." Answer Lucas.

"Even if it's been 10 years, don't tell me you're still thinking about that poor girl."

"Although it's been 10 years, but for me it was only yesterday, and I will always think about it, because until this moment I have never forgotten it, sorry if it makes you disappointed." Reply Lucas who immediately stepped foot to the exit before the father's sentence made his step stop.

"Dad will try to make you forget about the girl, and I hope you don't do anything stupid anymore." Said Mr. Fredell loudly.

"I'll never forget Starla, no matter how hard you tell me to forget her." Lucas stared at his father.

"It turns out you're still stubborn Lucas, should Dad eliminate the girl so you can forget about it and stop thinking about it?" Ask Mr. Fredell full of threats.

"And I will protect her, even if it is with my own life. I had enough pain to lose him,"

"LUCAS.. "

"Please, I'll never be happy if I'm not with Starla."

"CLOSED YOUR MOUTH."

"Mr Fredell, relax.. " 

Assistant Mr. Fredell said, and immediately gave Lucas a signal to leave his father's room before the man actually boarded the pitan and could trigger his heart disease relapse. Until not waiting long Lucas immediately pulled the doorknob of the room and immediately left his father who was trying to suppress his emotions.

Since the last 10 years of Lucas' relationship with his father is indeed very bad, Lucas' disappointment over his actions makes him very angry, although he could do nothing but avoid and cut off communication to the Father in protest to his father.
