Vanya and Dhira are aghast to get a hard kick from Leo. Vanya sprinted towards Leo's car.
While Dhira was still standing in his place.
"I'm dizzy, please don't act! Hop on! Your friend seems traumatized." Leo pressed his voice so as not to be too loud again.
But doubt still surrounds Dhira's face. It's not moving either.
"Come on! Don't be so stubborn!" Leo pulled Dhira's hand to get into the car.
But their legs stopped when they heard Rendra's voice. "Tell me where Nayla is right now!"
"I can't say it. That's Nayla's request."
"Please.I want to see it." Ratap Rendra's.
"I don't want to disappoint him. He said he was eager to quietly leave this world when he was not allowed to live."
"Haaaaa.I beg you, tell me where he is. Huuu..." Rendra's crying.
Leo took a deep breath. "Pray for him to be safe. He promised to meet and start over with you if he lived." Leo stepped up quickly after saying that, lazily talking even more.
In the car quiet. The silence filled the three of them. Only the noise of the car was heard. Leo drives with his jaw tightly clenched. He still seems to be covered in anger.
Vanya and Dhira sat in the middle seat with their mouths shut tight.
Especially with Dhira. Just now he knew that Leo who took him when the accident the other day was the CEO of the company where he worked. He just found out and just saw the figure of their CEO. There was shame and regret in his heart for having fought Leo arguing several times.
Until we got to a clinic.
"Obati. If you're sick again, the one who lost isn't someone else. But you're alone." After talking Leo got out of the car. He opened the door on the side of Dhira.
Dhira was aghast to find Leo standing right by his side. His legs that had dropped back raised again.
"Can you walk alone?" Ask Leo.
"Can-can sir." Dhira replied stammered.
Leo took a few steps back giving Dhira a path.
Dhira came down with his head bowed. He continued to walk to the clinic following Vanya in front of him.
Not long ago the wound on his shoulder had been bandaged and given medicine. Dhira hastened to the cashier to pay his coronation.
"Have you? Let me take you all to your houses."
"No need sir." They both answered simultaneously.
"All right! It's already midnight. What if there's nothing."
"But Pa. We've been troubling you." Dhira kept his head down.
"It should. Besides you ladies, you also work in my office. Your safety is also my responsibility, though not entirely."
The two girls could not escape. With a sigh they went back into Leo's luxury car to Dhira's house.
"Thank you Sir. It's hard to help us." Dhira said before descending.
"Hm." Leo just mumbled slowly.
After Leo died, Vanya immediately excited about Leo. "Yummm...Leo is so sweet. It turns cold once he's a caring and loving man."
Dhira did not make any comment on Vanya's rant. He opened his shoes and went straight into the room to get a towel.
"I won't be able to sleep tonight. My mind floated considering someone's handsome face." Until Dhira finishes bathing Vanya still keeps talking about Leo.
"Those handsome men are you who are sick. Fuck up! Take shower! Your brain is already a little bit!" Dhira threw a towel at Vanya's face.
"So he's handsome bangat Dhi. How to speak it you know, how is it.bikin my heart klepek."
"Arga.see this lover of yours, being crazy about another man." Dhira took his phone.
"Hey what do you want?" Vanya snatched Dhira's phone. "bad friend. A little bit of ngadu." Vanya's eyes look terrified.
"What the hell. I want to play hp. Here's my phone!"
"Awas talking macem-macem with Arga."
"Fear you too! Your mouth is too sweet to praise another man."
"Hehehe..Other men are cute and ok. But still yayang Arga number one. So, relax, I can't possibly like that Leo. Take it for you."
"Ck! This friend's stress." Dhira pushed Vanya outside and closed the door. Her ears hurt hearing the meaningless chatter from her best friend.
***
Leo entered his house. He does not live in a house with his parents. His relationship with his parents five years ago was less harmonious. He was angry with them, because for twenty years he had been lied to about his sister.
From the age of eight, he learned that his brother had died. He died two days after he was born while still in hospital. Wearing an only child during this time makes it really spoiled and always numbered united.
But the truth is very different. Accidentally hearing the conversation papi mama made him not out of thought and angry. The baby, her sister, is still alive. Knowing that, he became curious and asked. But his parents gave him nothing. They just divert the topic.
Initially Leo was patient and waited for the right time for his mother to be frank. But until now there is no explanation that makes him like a fool.
He felt his family life was a fake. It looks from the outside so perfect and happy, like nothing lacking. But this is the real thing, his family is very strange and full of lies. Even arising in his mind, he was deliberately schooled abroad so that from high school to college so as not to know the truth about his family.
From childhood he lived with Nayla. A girl his age who loved him so much. But in his heart he did not look at Nayla with love. He loved the girl sincerely just a little sister.
Until one day, exactly a year ago when the two of them just a few days arrived from London, Nayla experienced a tragic thing. The girl was harassed by Rendra until she became pregnant. There was no other choice but to marry the two of them.
Same is the case with Rendra who is always burned jealous because his wife is more on Leo's side than him. The family that looked like hell was destroyed when Nayla miscarried. There is nothing more to defend, Nayla insists on asking for a divorce. But Rendra was not willing. He did not want his wife to leave him after suffering many financial losses ranging from marriage to all Nayla's medical treatment during illness to hospital costs during miscarriage. Moreover, his brain always suspected his wife had a sweet relationship with Leo. The more he makes her not let Nayla go from him.
That's the short story between Leo, Rendra and Nayla. During the four months Nayla was confined to the bed, Leo was always there to help and advise her. His desire to divorce from Rendra was not fully supported. Especially when she found out that the woman was sick. Liver disease suffered so far is not too dangerous. But two months ago doctors said Nayla was in critical condition. It turns out that the woman had been covering up if she had liver cancer.
Leo threw his body on the sofa. He nodded his head which was beating hard. His mind is in a rage. It is among the heavy choices.
Nayla refused to go to Japan for the operation. He can join only on one condition, if the operation is successful, then he must marry the woman after the official divorce with Rendra.
Very difficult conditions for him. He wants Nayla to be healthy again. But marrying him is impossible. Isn't it the same as plunging Nayla later. It could be that he turned to hate the woman to end up hurting her if he forced himself.
"Hahhh..What kind of life is this?'
"Why do you love me Nay. So many other men like you why should you choose me." He said while closing his eyes.
"You don't know how hard this is for me." Leo felt his head that was about to break. "Maybe I'll hurt you more than Rendra."
Leo glared for a moment "Tell Rendra is the best option. After all they are husband and wife. Well, tomorrow I'll talk to him."
"Now I beg you to have eyes, closed. Make me sleep so my brain can rest. Please.yes..."
He rolled his body to the ground, forcing his eyes closed. I don't know how many nights he couldn't sleep.

"Leo..."
"Leo...."
Samar faintly his name sounded called out. The young man who was still wearing work clothes nodded lazily. It feels like his sleep is still going to continue.
"Leo wake!!"
Leo raised his head and forced his eyes open. His net caught a blurred figure in front of him. He rubbed his eyes to make them brighter.
"It's Mommy. Ten o'clock is still sleeping. You are such a mess. Look at your clothes are still yesterday's work clothes." Meli mami Leo is coming.
"Why did Mami come here?" Ask him coldly. Though in his heart he screamed because of bad luck woke up.
"What kind of question is that? Mommy can't come here?"
"If it's not important, don't." Leo got up and removed the suit from his body and threw it on the bed.
"Son, you're getting rough now. Do you regret treating us like this?" Ask Meli sadly.
"You never regret it. Same right?!" Said Leo deliberately make his mom stuck.
Meli is silent a thousand languages. His neck is choking. To relieve his nervousness, he moved to gather his son's clothes patiently. "Mami just wants to know Nayla's progress. You didn't call nyahut. Mommy had to come here."
"Why?" Ask Leo.
"Isn't he going to Japan?"
"Yes. The day after tomorrow he'll leave."
"Have you prepared everything? Your job or something?"
"I'm not coming."
"Who was she with?" Ask Meli with a high tone.
"There's her husband. Rendra's more entitled to come." Actually it was her mother who made Nayla always expect a lot from Leo.
"But Nayla doesn't want that."
"Mi, don't get too involved in people's household affairs. Not necessarily what Mama did help. On the contrary, it's getting worse."
"Why did it arrive that way? Weren't we taking care of Nayla?" Meli feels her son harbors love for Nayla because it is legal to be Rendra's wife. That's why he wants to change the story of his two young people.
"Yes. But the problem now is just let them both. We're just spectators."
"But Nayla said she'd survive if you accompanied her."
"Haahhh. You all make my life complicated! As long as I know, I already have a wife. Don't be because Mami's excessive attitude makes my relationship with her broken! I have my own life Mi, please understand!" Jerk Leo as he passed to the bathroom and threw the door down violently.
Meli sadly sat on the side of her son's bed. He looked blankly at the bathroom door. "Mami see, you're just close to Nayla. I thought you liked it more than anything."
Meli breathed a heavy sigh. He got up and made the bed.
In the bathroom, Leo flushed his body under the shower with his eyes closed. His chest was still hunting as it dampened emotions. He was afraid of being too detached from his mother.
"Hopefully with the lies about the woman I told you about, Mami doesn't bother me anymore." His whisper while moving into the mirror.
He looked at the handsome face in front of him with a sharp look. It sharpened even more when his eyes saw the change in the mirror. Slowly his hand rubbed the mirror. "Hah..gila, why is Andhira's face milling around in this glass." Ask with a silly look. Well, suddenly his face turned into Andhira's face while in the mirror. He felt strange with his eyes and brain.
"The girl's influence is too strong. Even last night I dreamed of it. Hehe.I'm getting crazy like that." Say it again after wearing a towel and then get out of the bathroom. Well that's what kept him sleeping for so long. He dreams of being with Andhira on vacation and taking a cruise ship.
He was relieved to know his mother was gone. His comfort is always disturbed when dealing with three people who have been close to him. The aloof choice made him a little calm and free.
Half an hour later, Leo was already in the company. With a stiff face as usual he passed through the loby until the reception room penetrated to the elevator.
"Sorry sir, the elevator is in trouble for now. If you don't mind you can ride with the other elevator." A security guard told him.
Without saying anything, Leo turned around and got into the elevator that the staff used to use. The atmosphere in the walking box was suddenly silent and turned cold. Though a lot of people. They all immediately dared not say the word as soon as they saw the CEO coming in.
On the third floor the elevator stopped. After the door opened, Dhira went in about to the nineteenth floor. Without lifting his face from the screen of the phone he turned his body towards the door, turning his back on everyone behind him.
Silence is silent someone right behind him is holding his breath because of nervousness. It was Leo. Suddenly his heart beat violently as soon as he saw Dhira enter. Without him being able to control his chest beating abnormally. They were so close that even his nose almost hit Dhira's head. The aroma of the shampoo from the blonde hair was penetrating into the cavity of his nose makes his heart more unscathed.
