Only Raised Children
33. Two Hundred Thousand Rupiah Apartment

An hour later, Alina opened her eyes. His still faint gaze made him not realize that he was currently in his new room which had an area almost twice that of his previous room.

Alina closed her eyes again, not to continue her sleep, but to focus more on regulating her breathing while gathering back her consciousness that had not yet fully accumulated. Once enough, Alina opened her eyes again.

The first thing he saw when his eyes opened was the ceiling. There Alina immediately realized that she was in a place she did not recognize. The look in Alina's eyes then surrounded the entire room, she really did not know where she was currently. 

Alina sat her body, but at that time her stomach suddenly felt nauseous again. Alina's eyes went around looking for something she could use to throw up. But unfortunately, after circling the entire room he did not find anything that could be used as a container. Not wanting to dirty the room she did not recognize, Alina finally chose to get out of there and ran towards the toilet.

He who does not know where the toilet is and runs does not know the direction. Every door he passed was opened, but not the toilet he found, but a room and a barn. Seeing the stairs to the bottom floor, Alina immediately obeyed the stairs with legs that already felt very weak.

Because it could not bear the nausea, without her wanting finally Alina vomited her stomach contents on the last three steps. Although only a little water came out of his mouth, but it was enough to make him breathe a sigh of relief for a while.

The voice of Alina who was vomiting was heard by three men at the dinner table. Those who were extremely shocked and immediately jumped up from his seat to see what was going on. As soon as they saw Alina sitting limp on the stairs, they all immediately approached Alina with anxious faces.

"Dina!"

Not having the strength to respond to the three men, Alina chose silence with her position.

"Geez, Al, why are you downstairs?" alfian said quickly.

"She was vomiting" Rico said later when he saw the white liquid on the stairs.

"Where's rena?" ask Andi afterwards.

Alina was still silent, she really did not have the energy to answer all the words of those men.

Alfian also saw his sister drooping limp and then lifted her body towards the sofa on the first floor and followed Rico beside her. While Andi went up to the second floor to look for the whereabouts of Rena. When they reach the apartment, they trust Rena to keep Alina in the room. But now I don't know where the woman was until Alina could be on the rungs of the stairs with the white liquid that had littered the stairs.

When Alina was laid on the sofa, Rico took the initiative to take warm mineral water. After that immediately give it to Alfian.

"Drink" Alfian said to his sister.

Alina slightly raised her head with the help of the two men there, then she sipped the warm water slowly. After regaining her body, Alina let out her repeated sighs. It felt so good after taking the warm water.

"Why did you come down, Al?" alfian asked after feeling his sister was not as golden as before.

"I'm nauseous, Bang. I'm looking for a toilet" Alina said.

"Toilets? Toilet's in the room, Al. Why are you looking for a toilet down? Then, where's Rena? Wasn't she with you in the room?" ask Rico about his character.

Alina shook her head not knowing. She really doesn't know where Rena is, nor does she know if there's a toilet in the room. Maybe because of the nausea that bothers him to make him unaware of both things.

Not yet Alina replied, seen Rena and Andi just down the stairs.

"Gosh, Al. You're not papa?" asked Rena as she approached her quickly. The look of his face looks very anxious and feels guilty, making Rico and Alfian not to the heart to blame him who has left Alina. Moreover, Andi said that when Alina left the room, Rena was in the bathroom.

Alina's stomach condition slowly began to improve after spewing out her stomach contents in the form of concentrated liquid. Now he is sitting in the living room with the others.

"Where are we, Co?" ask Alina who just remembered if this afternoon should be moved.

"In your new home, Al," said Rico.

The view goes back around every corner of the room, the house looks big enough for a multi-storey floor. The stuff that was there also looks not like cheap stuff. How could Rico find a place to live for him this good? Given this place is quite good and very elegant, Alina immediately thought, about how much the cost of renting this house per year. But when he asked, Rico's answer really surprised him.

"Don't think about the cost, this apartment you can use until anytime."

"Apartment?" muttered Alina slowly.

He was shocked when Rico said he was in an apartment. Alina was about to stand up, she wanted to look at the window to see if it was true if she was currently in an apartment. But unfortunately, not yet standing but Rico and others first forbid him to rise from his seat. 

"You really picked me an apartment?" alina asked in disbelief.

"Of course, Al."

Alina stared at Alfian Sejank with a gaze that Rico did not understand. But when Alfian shook his head, Alina immediately scrolled back towards Rico.

"But I don't have enough money for this apartment, Co? Why not just find a contract or I went back to the previous contract? I can still go back there because my rent ends in 5 months" Alina said.

"Al, this apartment is mine and you don't have to think about the rent anymore because I loan it to you for free."

Alina looked back at Alfian who was on her left side and at that time Alfian nodded his head at her beloved sister. 

"Thank you Al, you'll be safer here. You don't want to live in a toxic environment like before. There will be no one here to slander you as your neighbor previously accused."

"But, Bang. Rico said he lent this apartment for free to Alina. Alina doesn't want to just stay free, Bang."

Then Alina looked towards Rico who was on her right side.

"Co, I don't want to just stay free. Anyway, I have to pay the rent for this apartment" said Alina.

"Al, I can't afford rent from my own boyfriend."

"But I can't just stay here either, Co."

The two of them were still busy debating the rental fee, making Alfian dizzy to see it. While Andi and Rena were, the two of them looked relaxed with their own conversation conducted in a voice that sounded like a whisper.

Until Alfian spoke again, Alina and Rico finally stopped the debate. In order not to have a debate back, Alfian finally made the decision to pay the rent for the apartment. Although Rico had initially rejected the proposal from Alfian, but in the end he could not argue that the man who kekeh wanted to pay the rent of his apartment with the threat of taking Alina to another place. As a condition of agreeing with Alfian's words, Rico did not hesitate to ask the man to pay for his apartment for 500,000/month.

By the time the deal happened, both Alfian and Rico thought it was all done here. Likewise with Alina, although it is actually very unreasonable to pay rent of an apartment worth Rp500,000 but it is better than free.
