Love for Khalisa
Chapter 66

From his place Khalisa was watching a pair of women who were busy chatting while enjoying the bulgogi in front of him.Khalisa was curious about the woman who was chatting with Nova at one of the visitor's tables, Nova looks very familiar with the beautiful woman.wanted to eavesdrop on their conversation but unfortunately their distance is too far for Khalisa to hear their conversation, Nova who realized that Khalisa was paying attention to her, and, smiling from his place while looking at Khalisa as well.

"Khalisa come here". invite Nova to wave his hand.

Khalisa who was relaxed because there were no visitors, immediately approached Nova at her desk.

" Khalisa knows this Dindra his brother Sultan. "Dindra knows this is my best friend Khalisa".

" hi Dindra I am Khalisa, glad to know you". said Khalisa shook the hand of a woman named Dindra.

"thank you, I'm glad to know you too.

" are you really Sultan's brother?".

"well, Sultan send greetings to you".

Khalisa looked embarrassed, "how is the Sultan? I haven't seen him in a long time".

"Sultan is fine now, soon he can go home".

" what do you mean you're okay, you can go home soon, what happened to the Sultan?". asked Khalisa anxiously.

"yes, what do you mean by Dindra?". continued Nova who also felt anxious.

" i'm sorry to worry you two, you can ask Sultan directly if he's back".

"Dindra I beg you, don't hide anything from me". persuaded the curious Nova

" did the Sultan never tell you about his illness?". asked Dindra drowned.

"no, what is Sultan sick? all this time I've seen he's been fine".

" it's true". Khalisa said

"stage 4 brain cancer".

" what????!!!!!!". said Khalisa and Nova simultaneously.

"Dindra don't joke because you're joking about nothing fun". Nova's nagging disbelief.

" i'm serious, why would I lie to you guys".

Khalisa closed his mouth with a palm so surprised, he also still could not believe if the Sultan who had been looking fine had a deadly disease, did not feel tears escaped from his eyes, he also still could not believe, The sultan whom he considered his best friend and always helped him is now on the verge of death and he can do nothing at all, even just to entertain the Sultan he could not do.

"did the Sultan go abroad for treatment?" guess Nova

"yes, now the Sultan is still undergoing treatment in America, but my mother said the Sultan has improved somewhat and can return to Jakarta".

" thankfully, I hope the Sultan can be healed.

"thank you, Khalisa, because thanks to you the Sultan also has the motivation to be able to recover".

" i've never done anything" said Khalisa, looking agitated.

"since separated from Angelyn Sultan always moody and make his condition drop but after meeting you Sultan more spirit in living his life, I heard all that from Mami because I used to live in America with Grandma".

" but me and Sultan were just friends".

"well, the Sultan has told me everything, I beg you not to stay away from the Sultan because being near you has given positive energy to the Sultan's recovery".

Khalisa only smiled a little, he could not promise anything because he also had a heart to take care of, but he also wanted to see the Sultan can be cured of his illness.

"Nova stop, don't be like a child, make a shame, after all the Sultan is still breathing and fine". Dindra's nagging, "if you don't listen to me, I'll cancel your treat".

"it's not like it's a treat, don't you yourself make me take a meal outside when I already have a promise to go with Dayu". the Nova protest cleared the remains of tears on his face with a tissue.

" just kidding, come on smile".Dendra said grin.

Khalisa forgot that if he had left the cashier table long enough, oppa seo jun had also looked at him sharply.

"sorry I have to go back to work, happy to know you Dindra".pamit Khalisa left them and went back to his cashier's desk.

Khalisa so difficult to concentrate in his work, his mind is still thinking about the Sultan, he still can not believe with all he heard from Dindra, how could Sultan so tough in the face of his illness, he could not believe, The Sultan never heard to complain in the least.

Khalisa recalled his meeting with the Sultan on the night when the rain fell, when the Sultan's face looked pale, whether the Sultan was enduring the pain and forced himself to drive him home, the Sultan looked pale that night, if he Khalisa very sorry for not understanding the situation of the Sultan but instead troublesome Sultan, whether all the attitude of the Sultan so far to cover his suffering so that it is not known by others.

Khalisa saw that Dindra and Nova were done with their meal, they walked to the cashier table to pay the bills.

" meet Khalisa, I hope we can meet again.

"be careful on the road".

Khalisa was surprised to see Nova still standing nearby, "you didn't go home too?".

"do you evict me??!!!".

" why do I bother ngusir lo, later also go home alone"., joked Khalisa.

"i'm going home alone, you want to bring me".

" so males".

"yes, it's not complicated, I'll wait to go home, another half hour, your work hours are not finished".

" you're like my manager, why are you waiting for me to come home?".

"no papa, just need a friend to talk to".

" do you still think of the Sultan?".

Nova was just a weak nod, he felt so devastated to hear the state of the Sultan, although his distant cousins but they were quite

close, since childhood they have been good friends, he could not if he had to lose the Sultan, now Nova really need someone to lean on, maybe Khalisa can eliminate a little bit of tightness in his chest, only Khalisa understood it the most.

"Nova don't be weak like this, we must be strong to encourage the Sultan".

" i'm not sure I can be tough in front of the Sultan, right now I want to cry in his arms".

"do not like that, you will instead make the Sultan sad later, it is not good for his health".

" all right, I'll try hard in front of the Sultan".

"good, now you better wait for me in the pantry, later I follow you".

" okay, but not for long".

"yes, I will get angry later mostly talking at work, pity also oppa seo jun later if angry want to glare but can't because his eyes are narrow". khalisa's making a smile on Nova's face.

thank you🙏
