Leo can't say anything. Only her hand moved stroking and patting Dhira's back gently. Her heart was deeply saddened to see the person she loved so much suffering. I don't know what happened to make Dhira this sick.
Dhira was calm. Slowly pulled his head from Leo's embrace. His face was swollen and wet.
"You have a fever, you better get treatment." Leo took his phone out of his pants pocket.
"No need. I just need to sleep." Dhira took Leo's phone and saved it.
"alright. Empty stomach. Eat first just slept." Leo raised Dhira with both hands and carried her.
"Why are you? Lower me!"
"Be quiet! You're lying in the room."
"I can walk on my own. No need for this."
"Hush still. I'll make porridge for you. Looks like your stomach acid's going up." Leo put Dhira to bed. Then, press down on Dhira's stomach which was bloated slowly.
"I can take care of myself. You better go home. You have to work." Dhira threw his face to the side because Leo suddenly saw him at a very close distance.
"What's the problem? Why does your face look dislike me?"
"It's not. I'm just tired."
"Where were you all night?"
"Main"
Leo sighed. "If there's a problem don't hold it alone. I don't like you like this." He knew something had happened that shook his woman.
"There's no problem. I want to sleep." Dhira closed his eyes.
Leo could not say any more words. Especially seeing Dhira's pale face. He gave up and covered her. There's still time to find out what it is.
Half an hour later, Leo was done making porridge. He brought his cooking to the room.
A bowl with a glass was placed on the nightstand. He sat down near Dhira who was fast asleep. Dielus heads Dhira slowly while trying to guess what happened.
Her chest was tight to see her swollen face and Dhira's eyes.
Sensing a touch in her head, Dhira woke up. He nodded slowly. His eyelids are heavy because of swelling. His eyes became smaller.
"Eat first. Your stomach will hurt." Leo was already preparing with the porridge on the spoon.
"Let's put. I eat by myself."
"I bribe. Don't talk anymore. Haaaa..luck!" Leo had brought the spoon closer to Dhira's mouth.
"Wait a minute." Dhira tried to sit down and lean. Take a glass and drink water. His mouth feels dry and sour.
He glanced at Leo who kept staring at him with a spoon that kept the guy thrust into his mouth. Unable to resist anymore, he opened his mouth and ate the porridge. Two bribes until the porridge is half gone.
"It has. I'm full."
"There's paracetamol. Drink to make your fever heal."
After Dhira took the medicine, he lowered his head to avoid the sight of Leo who did not switch from him.
He wanted to say what he had experienced. But feel unnecessary. He would not be able to treat his mother without Leo's help. Now his attempt is to return the money to Leo's mother. He believes that if Leo finds out about his intention to return the money, Leo will tell him to stop.
"Are you ready to say what happened yesterday? Why did you disappear. Your phone's dead, too."
"There was a little business yesterday. I even fell and fainted. People there took me to the clinic and I stayed there." Dhira answered with his head bowed.
Leo did not respond to Dhira's reply. The young man, just looking at her continued as if searching for the truth on Dhira's face.
"Once more when there's my phone business. Don't go alone." Leo pulled Dhira's hand and hugged her. "Don't take matters alone. What am I for if I can't help you."
"Hiks hyks..." Dhira's heart just sobbed again. The clutter in his head rose again and made him want to cry.
He knows Leo's sincerity to him. But how he accepts all that. He had no courage to step with Leo as long as the two billion dollars had not paid off.
"Sshhhhttt. Your head could be dizzy again. If you're not ready to tell me it doesn't matter. Don't think about it." Leo tightened his embrace. "The thing you are experiencing is not something that threatens your life and life. It's okay you shut up."
In Dhira's heart it is getting worse. He could have told me about Meli's anger over money that had been used up for her mother. Surely Leo will defend himself and tell him not to think about it again. But his heart doesn't want to be like that. If Leo defended her again it would further magnify Meli's hatred for her. Anyone must be angry at Meli's position. That's why he's increasingly determined to find a way to get the money back.
At noon Leo had to leave Dhira. Suddenly there was a call from Kim saying there were urgent things that must be taken care of by him. Forced to leave Dhira, though his heart was heavy.
At thirteen, Dhira woke up. His body feels fresh and healthy, especially after bathing.
He sat pensively thinking about where to start collecting money to pay his debt to Meli. There was no time to linger, he took his cell phone and contacted uncle Bali.
A few weeks ago he had asked Bali uncle to offer a garden for sale. But not so, because according to Leo the price of one hundred and fifty million is too cheap. Besides, unfortunately, because only one piece of land is Amelia's treasure. So that the sale of the garden is delayed.
But now Dhira is desperate. However, the debt must be paid. If there is a windfall he can save up buying another garden for his mother.
Not only gardens, houses also sell Dhira. He also strictly forbade uncle Bali say anything to Leo. He did not want Leo to interfere.
All in fast, at night already got word from Lampung if the house and garden there would cost two hundred million. Dhira is so happy it turns out that from the garden and the house can be so. But then he limped considering it was nothing compared to his debt.
Now the money raised is about one hundred and fifty million plus the savings and jewelry of his mother. Dhira wiped away her tears after summing up the estimated money she could collect. His chest felt heavy and claustrophobic thinking of where else he would get the money.
Not a little but still a lot. Will he be able to collect it especially in just two weeks.
Suddenly he got a call from uncle Bali. Ask what really happened. There is no place to loosen his mind anymore than uncle Bali, told him everything. But on condition of begging not to tell Leo.
It turns out that he got an additional windfall, Bali uncle with a big heart, willing to lend him money. The number is quite large. Maybe uncle Bali will sell three fields of his garden. Unable to be held back, the cries of Dhira broke. Only a cry that can come out of his mouth so do not know to talk especially to uncle Bali.
***
Dhira dressed up as usual while going to work. Before leaving he would contact his mother. As much as possible he made his face cheerful without burden. How many days he hasn't called his mother. This time he made a video call to make sure his mother was okay.
Afterwards, he picked up a black bag the size of a schoolboy bag containing the money he had collected. Then make a call to Meli's number. Intentionally not in his name so that Leo does not know that he is related to his mother.
Now he was standing on the roof of the cafe waiting for Meli to come. There were steps behind him. He didn't have to look around because he was sure it was Meli.
"Oh, I didn't think you'd call me." Meli approached with a proud look. He glanced at the backpack in Dhira's hand. "Say what's wrong?" Ask in a haughty tone.
"I want to pay my debt."
"Well, it's only been a few days, really good. I didn't think you were a money man. In a matter of days you can earn a lot of money." Meli displayed a mocking smile.
"Belts must be paid." Dhira put the bag near Meli's feet. "This is only half the number. Which I'll pay half of it later."
"Hahaha. But it turns out it's just all pseudo." Meli did not touch the bag containing the money. He packed the bag towards Dhira. "Give it when it's all there. Must be full of two M. I'm not a cooperative collector."
"I don't want to know. Anyway that's me handing it over. Wait a few more days I'll pay the rest." Dhira packs a bag mimicking Meli. "That's not my stuff." Dhira turned around and stepped away from Meli.
"Are you stupid? How about I take this money and say, You haven't paid your debt yet? I charge you the same amount."
"This is proof that I've given you the money." Dhira waved his phone which was still recording the video of the two of them since earlier. Then leave the angry Meli.
"Two days to wait for the rest! If you don't come then be prepared to accept punishment from me! You will feel the consequences of your arrogance! I'll make you lose face until you want to kill yourself instead of taking it! Give more than half. One M two hundred million. Consider it more to pay the interest!"
"Honored director's mother turned out to be very creepy. Not as good as it looks. It's not like a leech!"
"True brash girl! Who do you think you are, huh! How dare you! Look how I made you miserable!" Shouted Meli.
But Dhira heard nothing. He's almost downstairs. His feet continued to step out of the cafe with a slightly brighter face. Probably because he paid some of his debt.
While behind her, Ara who had followed her incessantly twisted her brain about the talk of accounts payable between Dhira and Mami Leo. Trying to guess but not having the ability to conclude.
He continued to follow Dhira to the front of the company. After Dhira went inside, Ara left.
"Why does Dhira have a debt to that arrogant woman? And that's in the bag of all the money? Ha's? That many? And it hasn't paid off yet? Still a billion more? Dhira, what exactly are you doing?"
Without a second thought he drove his car to his papa company. He wanted to meet Jhon right now.
Upon arrival at Ara's office how surprised it turned out that her papa was there. He immediately showed an angry face and slammed his body onto the sofa.
Robert is like a cat caught stealing fish. His lies about him in the Netherlands are now exposed. After taking a deep breath, Robert approached Ara who was playing the phone.
"Why did you arrive at the office?" Ask Robert. The adult man sat so quietly with both palms intertwined.
"Why? Are you surprised?"
"No. My plan tonight is to go home."
"Not to go home. Go back to the Netherlands Sono! Who cares about you." Answer Ara jutek.
"Hm. I guess after being angry for two months my daughter is already cool. It still burns like fire." Robert smiled as he stroked Ara's head.
"Awas. I'm not a kid anymore."
"Hehe.my daughter is fierce and vindictive. That's why I doubt going home. He must still be angry and have not forgiven me."
Ara thunts. He was really upset with his papa at the moment. "Jhon gave me a lot of money. I want to travel around this world. It was more stressful to see him. Maybe I'd better go a long way for you all to calm down."
Jhon who was writing on the paper raised his face. He did not understand Ara's intentions.
"Come, I'm going on vacation too. Tired continues to work. We're both traveling the world." Robert with his trademark smile. His eyes were not joking.
"Lazy! I want to walk alone. May there be an accident, let me die." Jerky Ara.
"Fra! What are you talking about!" Robert Exclaimed. The flash of anger in the man's eyes instantly rose.
Ara speechless. He didn't expect his papa to get that angry. His gaze immediately descended to the floor with his head bowed. "I'm upset about my life now. No college, no work, confused about what to do." Said Ara slowly.
Robert took a breath. Then put his hand on Ara's head. "I'm sorry Papi. I can't believe you're depressed like this. Now tell me what your will is."
Ara glanced at her papi without moving her head. "I want to go to college." Answer slowly.
"Bapi agrees. Now too Papi will have Jhon take care of it to your college."
"I also want to be friends with Dhira and Vanya. They're just good friends."
Robert again took a long breath. "alright. But there's a condition."
Ara's face immediately sumringah. "What Pi? Tell me I'll listen to Papi."
"They both told me to move into this company."
"What condition is that? Why would that be?"
"That's the condition. Don't ask too many questions."
"That's hard Pi. What if the current place company doesn't give permission."
"That's their business. If they're not willing, forget your friend."
"But it doesn't make sense!"
"Udah like this. I won't be friends with them. But I want a lot of money."
