Chapters 10. Withstand tight.

**Sometimes silence is better than explaining what is being felt. Hoping to be understood in fact only adds to the burden of being lived.

Happy Reading 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹**

Ara and Mey go home at dawn. Because last night they stayed in the hospital. Ara had to rush to the office, while Mey rushed to school because there was a midterm exam that Mey was doing.

Ara took her time to cook, because she had to go back to the hospital to bring the mother food and change of clothes she also had to take Mey to school because it was impossible to get her sister on the bus, maybe Mey's late for the exam.

"Mey, here's your lunch. Don't forget lunch". Ara handed a box of rice to her sister.

"Thank you, brother". Mey Smile. Ara is indeed the best Sister that Mey can always rely on "Did Brother also bring supplies?". Mey asked who saw there were two more rice challenges in Ara's hands.

"Yes Mey". Ara said "Yes, let's go to the hospital and after that Brother will take you to school". Ara immediately packed up and put on her office clothes

Ara and Mey are headed to the hospital. Even Ara forgot about the pain she had in her stomach. What Ara now has in mind is about the recovery of the father.

"Mom, here's food and a change of clothes for Mom. Ara work first". Ara and Mey are greeting Wati.

"Mey's also at school ma'am".

"Yes son, you guys be careful".

Ara came closer to her father's bed. His heart was struck to see his father who was closed with an oxygen hose attached to his nose.

"Dad, Ara work first huh. I quickly woke up, so I could take Ara to the office again". Ara kissed her father's forehead with affection and did not feel tears shed back in her beautiful cheeks.

Ara takes Mey to school because Mey's school is missed if she wants to go to the office where Ara works.

Ara looked at the circular watch on her wrist.

"Jeez, 7:30". Pekik Ara drove the bike "I'm already thirty minutes late, how is this?". Mumbled Ara while riding her motorcycle.

Yesterday Ara was warned by Nathan that every morning there will be a morning briefing of staff and CEOs, including himself. The briefing will not start if one of the employees has not arrived or is late.

Several times Ara cringed in pain with her stomach wound, "God, why is it so painful?". Ara bit her lower lip. I swear by whatever it feels like, Ara wants to see the scars of her surgery whether to bleed or just feel pain from the inside.

Ara arrived at the company's office, quickly the girl took off her helmet and immediately walked over with half a run holding her stomach. His right hand holds his lunch, while his bag hangs on Ara's boat.

While in the field of office that has been devoted to the morning briefing of all employees, Kayhan and Nathan did not also start the conversation.

"It's been almost an hour that one of you hasn't come yet, if in ten minutes he hasn't arrived. Then I'll be suspended from the company". Threat Kayhan. He put his hand in his pants pocket.

All the employees were whispering about Ara. They sneered in annoyance and some even hated, if until Ara did not come they would be suspended and the salary could be cut.

"*Ara where the hell is it?? Is she okay?". Martha was worried as she looked in the field

"Where is it? Is he not coming?". Nathan's mind was also hopeful.

"Where is the girl? Just watch out if he gets there". Kayhan's mind looks upset*.

Ara ran with a gasp of breath, even holding her trembling knees.

"I'm sorry my Master.......".

"Forward!". Jerky Kayhan sharp.

Ara complied and advanced in front of the girl lowered her head when she saw the gazes of the employees who seemed to be very upset at her.

"Why late?". Kayhan asked coldly, his hands he put in his right and left pants pocket.

"Sorry Sir". Ara could only duck holding her chest tight. His stomach really hurt. Ara fizzed the tip of her skirt, while nibbling on her lower lip.

"If it's late tomorrow, I'll cut your pay". Timpal Kayhan "Because I dislike the most if there are employees who are not disciplined in their work. I teach you not to laze around, so take responsibility for your duties and obligations". Clearly Kayhan, was staring at Ara who looked trembling. Kayhan thought Ara must be grogy and nervous.

"You". Appoint her to Ara "As today's punishment, clean up my room, arrange all the books in my room". Kayhan's orders

"Good Sir". Sahut Ara's.

"You can get back in line". Kayhan.

Nathan looked at Ara wryly, something was different with the girl. Nathan wondered why Ara was late? Usually this girl is very disciplined in work and always on time.

Upon completion of the briefing, all employees enter their respective divisions.

Ara just nodded while looking down.

"Bec". Martha approached Ara. Ara is indeed closed even this girl never wants to tell her problems to Martha.

"Yes Ta". Sahut Ara's.

"You okay?". Martha asked as she stroked Ara's shoulder. Ara nodded and smiled.

"I'm okay". Ara Smile.

"Don't you want to explain to me why you're late?". Timpal Martha looked at her best friend's face.

Actually Ara really wanted to tell Martha about her problem, but she did not want her best friend was sad because she thought about herself. Martha had helped Ara too much and Ara did not want to trouble her friend.

"I was bad luck". Answer Ara's origin "I'm back at the table first". Ara tried to hide her feelings of sadness and pain.

Martha noticed something strange on her best friend's face especially Ara who walked like she was being dragged and often held like she was holding back pain. Martha wanted to ask but she knew for sure Ara would not tell her the truth.

Lunch hour.

"Ra, yuk's lunch". Take Martha and stand by Martha's table.

"Yes Ta, I happened to bring our provisions to eat cantin only". Ara stood up, "But after lunch, I let Ta go home for a while". Ara continued walking to challenge his nation.

"What's up, Ra? Why home?". Martha asked suspiciously.

"Ehem, that. I want to go to Mey's school to have something taken care of". Let Ara card her throat for fear of being caught lying.

Ara and Martha arrived at the canton, they chose the most corner bench. The canteen is as luxurious as a five-star restaurant. The food here is also an average typical European food with a price that is quite draining the wallet.

Instantly the atmosphere of the canteen became boisterous when he saw three young men walking towards the canteen. They are Kayhan, Nathan and Assistant Cody.

Kayhan chose a seat, behind Ara and Martha. Martha was nervous not to play, while Ara was ordinary. He was not at all fascinated by Kayhan's good looks nor Nathan's. Self-consciousness is more important than imagination.

"What did you order Ra?". Ask Martha.

"I'll take Ta's stock, you'll order it for you". Sahut Ara opened his clan. The conversation of the two of them was heard by the three pairs of ears that were eating in silence.

"You sure?". Ara simply nodded while bribing her food.

Drt drt drt drt drt

Ara's phone rang. Ara ripped up her phone which was located inside her small bag.

"Siang Brother Nickho, what's wrong?". Ara asked politely while bribing her food.

"Ra, you can come to the hospital for a while there's something I want to talk about your father's condition". Voice over there.

"Okay, I'll be there soon". Ara immediately severed her connection.

"Who's Ra?". Martha asked as she looked at Ara's panicked face.

"Friends". Ara said briefly while putting her phone in "Ta, I'll be home soon I'll be back". Ara closed her bushel.

"Lho, haven't you finished eating Ra?". Tegur Martha's.

"I eat while walking". Ara stand.

"What??!". Pekik Martha's.

"The condition of your voice, I say goodbye". Ara wavers away from there while occasionally bribing her rice making Martha shake her head in disbelief. How do you eat while walking?

Kayhan, just speechless hearing Martha and Ara's conversation. He wondered where the girl would go to have lunch like this? Will he meet his girlfriend?

Nathan also just fell silent, for some reason after snapping at Ara yesterday he felt guilty to the girl.

**Connected....

Warm regards

Ara & Kay**
