NOT Second Lead

NOT Second Lead
Strives to Survive


Alexander still seemed to be standing in a daze near the lobby. He wanted to catch up with Rihana, but he didn't know where Rihana was surveying his field.


"Sister Alex," call Aurora in shock and be happy. He was looking for Alexander, but the man disappeared after seeing his father. He also accelerated his footsteps approaching Alexander who looked unsettled. It was as if I could not wait for someone to arrive.


Himself? his heart was pondering but somewhat doubtful.


Only Herdin was still there. Herdin was beside her as well.


"We're having lunch together, sis," Aurora asked with her cheerful face. He was now next to Alexander.


Alexander did not answer. His attention was distracted by two friends of Rihana who were walking while chatting with some other women.


"Surely the skin of the three men was burned again," Seli chuckled along with the others.


"A lot of yes, that has to be built. Tower as well, right. Yadi said very bad signal there," continued Rukma.


The women passed by him who was with Aurora and Herdin while smiling and nodding their heads with great respect.


Alexander's brain went straight. He knows enough about the mega apartment project that the Om Dewan company is working on.


"You eat together. I have other business" he said as he left.


His heart was worried more. Alexander knew the place. The blazing heat of the sun can reach thirty-seven degrees Celsius.


"Sister," called Aurora trying to hold back Alexander's departure.


But the handsome man did not listen. Keep moving away.


Herdin was speechless at the disappointed look on Aurora's face. But he can what.


He also breathed a long breath.


"Sir Herdin also has business. Sorry can't accompany you to lunch," break up Herdin at last. It was enough all this time that he let his heart always hope.


Herdin won't force again.


"Eh, yes, sister," Aurora replied rather awkwardly. Between happy and unkind.


Aurora had already confirmed in her attitude and concern that she only wanted to pursue Alexander.


Herdin quickly stepped towards Alexander's departure


Sorry Lex, I can't survive on the side of the woman who always rejects me, her mind is kind of sorry can't fulfill her promise to Alexander.


But in his heart, Herdin still wanted Alexander to continue fighting to be with his Zira.

Rihana stared at her face in the mirror near the cafe toilet.


In front of him the sink faucet continues to pour.


Thankfully, the mood has stopped. He stared at the blood-filled handkerchief in front of him.


Then immediately put it in his backpack pocket.


Wash his face again. Cleans blood stains near the nose and lips.


His head feels a little dizzy. This time he had a nosebleed. Maybe his body is less he rests.


After wearing his mask again, he approached the table which was already full of food and drinks.


"Come, Rihana," called out to her Anggi-senior as she waved her hand.


Rihana started to feel at home. Other than anyone he knew, his seniors were also kind. It's just that the field of work is very heavy according to him.


Rihana was the most resistant to sunburn. As he remembered he always got a dispensation every flag ceremony. He can be shady together with his friends who served in the UKS.


But now he should be able to. All for the sake of Bu Saras who is very good, also his sister who is in the orphanage.


Rihana also enjoys rice and meat soup. He had to eat voraciously in order to be strong against the sunlight later.

He had to check the available materials again, whether it was suitable in the tablet he was carrying. He had to learn fast in his new field.


Brother Anggi and Brother Mira also helped him.


"You dizzy?" mira asked as she saw Rihana somewhat staggered.


"Little, brother," he answered honestly. His body could not beat the sunlight.


Now Rihana was leaning her body against the wall while looking up. Trying to breathe in.


"It's very hot here" Yadi said rather worriedly. Also kasian. Why was Rihana transferred to the field?


Because someone who will enter this section must experience a medical check first. His body is fit.


Seeing from the beginning of Rihana's arrival, he, Agus and Dino could only look at each other. Wonder.


"Drink first" said Mira, handing over her sealed bottle


"I brought a brother," said Rihana sungkan.


That's his senior stock.


"Liet down, I brought a lot," Mira's warm smile as she opened the seal and handed the small size bottle to Rihana.


"Thank you, brother."


Without hesitation, Rihana gulped it down to Abis.


The throat feels very dry. But his head still shrunk.


Rihana glanced at the watch in her hand.


It's only two o'clock, Rihana complained. He was afraid he could not survive and nosebleed again. It will be difficult for his new team.


"Usually in three hours we just go home" said Agus as if he knew what Rihana was thinking.


"Ooh."


"Yes, we've finished it, quickly" said Mira who was welcomed okay by Rihana, Yadi and Agus.


They returned to work under a pile of material, dust and sunburn.


Rihana stood back up. He also rubbed the sweat that splattered on his forehead after opening his project helmet.


One soft cloth followed by rubbing his forehead making his head that was bowed so look up.


"Alexander," he was surprised to see a towering figure in front of him that was enough to cover the heat of the sun.


Quickly Rihana felt shady for a moment. He thought the sun had softened. There was a shadow of Alexander's body.


Wait, why is he here? batin Rihana panicked.


But the man in front of her kept showing off his alluring smile.


"You're a cat," she said with a relieved heart. She panicked because she thought Rihana had fainted.


Traffic jams make it too late to Rihana's place.


Once in the project arena, he also became the spotlight of the workers. Even Mr. Zuher went straight to him.


"Young master," he said respectfully. Thought his boss sent a rumored man to be his candidate to carry new instructions.


"Casual, sir. I just wanted to see the location," Alexander's response calmed down as he continued to circle his gaze.


"Oooh, yes, young master," said Mr. Zuher relieved.


Mr. Zuher looked again at Alexander who was like he was looking for someone. Because this young man refocused his gaze around the project arena.


"I went there, young master," said Mr. Zuher because Alexander was still busy as if he was watching the project and ignored his presence.


"Oh yes, sir," he replied, letting Mr. Zuher go.


Alexander stepped forward again. After quite a while of searching, a line of smiles appeared on his lips. He also stepped quickly but still hearted towards Rihana who was standing leaning back while looking down.


The interaction of the two is certainly very interesting for the workers who are there. Especially Mr. Zuher who watches where Alexander steps.


He knew the new officer? his mind does not believe.


It appears that Alexander protected the new employee from sun exposure with his body.
