Playing With Fire
The Part 46

Elica is seen trying to open her eyes, she is a little unfamiliar with the light that enters her netra.

He realized that if he was now in a foreign room all white, there was also the sound of water droplets that apparently came from intravenous fluids.

Elica realized that now she was in the hospital, she felt her coconut was a little dizzy when she remembered the previous incident.

"You're sober?" There was a baritone voice that made Elica turn, apparently Alex's voice.

The man approached Elica from her seat.

"How are you doing? Is anyone still sick?" Alex asked in a slit-head answer by Elica.

Elica's hand felt her stomach feel different. He looked at Alex for an explanation.

"His baby?" Elica asked hanging, Alex smiled.

The man stroked Elica's hair slowly.

"You just calm down. He's safe, he's fine. The baby's a girl" Alex replied softly.

Elica closed her eyes and sighed in relief. Finally, his son survived too.

Unexpectedly Alex suddenly kissed Elica's forehead.

"You want to meet her?"

"Yes"

"Wait a minute, Aunt Irene is picking her up in the incubation room. Soon it will be brought here" said Alex, and Elica nodded.

"Thank you for holding on" Alex said, but Elica still didn't understand what the man was saying.

A few minutes later, the door of the room was open. Featuring a doctor and Irene pushing a baby Box.

Actually Elica did not want to see the face of her son.

"Elica dear you're conscious" Irene said, looking at Elica who had opened her eyes.

And Elica smiled as Irene approached her. The woman asked about her condition, but Elica could only answer with a nod of her head or a smile.

Because to talk long, Elica still has no energy.

"Miss Elica does your stomach still feel pain?" Ask the doctor who is checking his condition.

Elica answered with a slit of her head.

"Thank God. If it is not sick, within 2 to 3 days it is likely to go home and undergo treatment at home" said the doctor.

After the doctor finished examining Elica, Irene who was holding the baby then brought her closer to Elica.

"You want to see her, she's as beautiful as you are"

"Yes Aunty" Irene placed the sleeping baby beside Elica. Now Elica can see the face of her child.

Right, she's very pretty. Her chubby cheeks, her nose pointed, her tiny lips made Elica anxious to see her own child. Elica's eyes were already glazed over because she could see her child survived.

Unknowingly Irene and Alex also smiled when they saw Elica could not be seen staring at the child.

"You know Elica, two days you were unconscious after the operation, Alex was like a lion. Whoever the doctor or nurse that came into this room was like a fight with him because he saw you never get up"

Irene told me about Alex's behavior, which made Elica laugh too.

While the people in the talk pretend not to listen because of shame. Irene who finished talking about Alex's behavior, then decided to go home on the grounds of taking Elica's belongings.

And now Alex and Elica are left in that room with their son. There was no intention of Elica talking to the man who was now staring at her. Elica turned her eyes to the child.

"Later when you get home, your room moves to my room. I also want to sleep with him. And Bianca's problem, she's out of the big house. He ran away, but you're calm. I will definitely find him and put him in jail for his treatment of you" Alex said, but was not responded to by Elica.

***

The next day Alex was back to his activities. He was very busy in the office today, moreover there were some important meetings that he would attend. Though he wants to continue to be in the hospital looking after Elica and see her son.

That actually makes Alex's concentration on work a little disturbed. Every now and then Alex looks at the screen of his phone and sees a picture of his son with Elica sleeping that he took secretly a few days ago. Makes Alex who sees her sometimes smile to herself. I don't know, since the presence of his son Alex's life feels different.

Now he feels he has to be a good father for his baby. And her feelings for Elica also grew bigger, her sense of wanting to be together and protect the woman who is now the mother of her child.

Alex remembered one thing, if he hadn't given a name to his son. Maybe after coming home from work, Alex will let Elica name their child. However, Elica is the one who has the right to do it, considering that she who has fought desperately gave birth.

Maybe after this Alex will apologize to Elica sincerely for her unkind treatment. Make a good start to their relationship going forward. And for the sake of his son too, Alex will invite Elica to marry as soon as possible.Well, after returning home from work Alex will say it.

In the hospital.

Elica is cradling her child, she looks better. And just now the doctor said that tomorrow he was allowed to go home. Because he was hospitalized 5 days after the incident that night.

And this afternoon he was accompanied by uncle Jo who was sitting while looking at the TV screen, because Aunt Irene had just come home for a break and asked uncle Jo to replace her.

Elica also sat on the bed because she felt tired long standing holding her sleeping child. He took a cell phone and photographed his son's face.

"It's so beautiful you baby, quickly grow up to be a smart and good child" said Elica kissed the cheek of her son, uncle Jo who heard her also smiling happily.

"Mr Alex must love you and your son Elica very much" said Uncle Jo, smiling also by Elica. What Uncle Jo said was true. But Alex just loves this kid, not him. Sometimes remembering her treatment used to make Elica feel pain in her heart.

If Alex wasn't that bad, maybe he'd be so happy to have a complete life. Her husband, her son, and her husband. It would only be a delusion that would next be in Elica's mind. He just hopes to get out of this and get his happiness back.

"Uncle I'm thirsty to drink, but my mouth feels bitter when drinking water"

Uncle Jo stood up straight from his seat.

"You want to drink something? Let uncle buy it" uncle Jo said.

"I want to drink some juice. Can I ask uncle to buy it, right?"

"Sure, what kind of juice do you want?"

"Jambu juice"

"Thank you uncle Jo"

Uncle Jo comes out of the room, leaving Elica and her son.

Elica was seen staring at her son's face long enough, as if recording everything she saw now. Right, Elica decided to leave her son with Alex.

He was already tired, and was already not strong if he had to experience the pressure he had been through with the man. Maybe going is the best way for her. No tears Elica came out, actually she was very unwilling to leave her child. But if she goes to bring her child too, Alex will definitely not stay silent and continue to interfere with her life back.

Let Elica look like an evil mother leaving her child. He remembered what Alex said was indeed true, if this child went along with him then it did not guarantee his child's life any better. But if he is with Alex, Elica is sure the man can definitely give his all without flaws. Plus there is Aunt Irene who will definitely love her with affection.

"I'm sorry dear Mami, Mami can't keep you company growing up. Although Mami can't see you, but Mami will remember your pretty face. Even though your mom is not with you, she will remember your cries. Maybe we will never meet again but believe me, you are always in your heart. Be nice with your dad, don't let him be lonely. Don't make it hard because Mom believes you're a good boy. Your father will definitely give his all to you, but if you're with mommy it won't happen. You can think of your mom as evil and selfish but one day you hope you don't hate your mommy. Mommy loves you so much and loves you so much, son, goodbye"

Said Elica to her child with tears coming out wetting her cheeks. She kissed her son again for the last time, then put her baby box next to her nursery bed.

Elica took her cell phone that was on the nightstand, and contacted someone.

"Hello brother Zico, I'm going out now. Pick me up in the backyard"

After she finished deciding the call, Elica went straight out of the room, she turned to her son again and closed the door and left.

***

Alex walks very hurriedly in the hospital corridor impatiently wanting to meet his son and also Elica. She already sure wants to express her feelings to Elica to invite her to marry and tell her the truth about Hilda's death.

She brought a bouquet of roses a ring she had prepared to propose to Elica.

In the corridor, he runs into uncle Jo who carries something in his hands.

"Uncle Jo, why are you here? Who's accompanying Elica?" Ask Alex

"Miss Elica asked me to buy you some juice to drink, sir. Because he said his mouth was bitter if he drank water" replied Uncle Jo.

"Oh so. Give me the juice, let me bring it" Uncle Jo gave the juice to Alex.

They arrived at the room and entered. But when he entered, Alex felt something strange. The room felt quiet, he circulated his gaze to the corner of the room but did not see the whereabouts of Elica. She only saw her sleeping child in the baby box alone.

"Where's Elica?" Alex asked him, he approached his daughter. He finds something next to his son, which turns out to be a letter.

Alex quickly read it.

To Alex.

Maybe when you saw this letter, I wasn't there. Well, I'm gone. I'm sorry for choosing to go this way. I decided to leave the boy with you, just as you wanted. I realized if he was with me, he couldn't get anything he wanted. Please take care and love him Alex, don't look for me and don't find out about me again. I assume this is all done like our original agreement. And for your money, I promise to give it back as soon as possible. Thank you for your help, say my regards to Aunt Irene as well.

Elise.

Alex read word for word with feelings that could not be expressed. Everything was out of plan, but there was little left. Alex squeezed the letter with one grip, he was angry and Emotional.

"Uncle Jo, find Elica now. I don't want to know, you have to find it" Alex snapped with a sharp look.

"Where's Mister?" Uncle Jo doesn't know where to look.

"Where only. I'm sure he's not far. Call the police if you need to, hurry" Alex choked the old man.

"Good Sir"

*****

Elica was standing next to the road, not long came a car that stopped in front of her. The car's glass was opened automatically and showed Zico smiling at Elica.

"Come on Elica" said Zico, immediately Elica got into the car.

Then Zico drove his car at a moderate speed.

"How are you and your son?"

"I'm good, and he's good too Brother Zico"

"Thank God. Are you sure of your decision?"

"Yes"

Zico gives Elica a small bag that she carries.

Some time Elica had indeed prepared for her departure before giving birth. She asks Mia and her husband to help her get out of Alex's reach.

After Elica explains everything to them, Zico helps her by creating a new identity for Elica and her father. He makes a plan if Elica is dead, to make it easier to erase Elica's old identity.

"I've taken care of everything. We'll leave tonight at 8 p.m. Your passport and your father are already using your new identity. You don't have to worry if Alex will be able to track you"

Said Zico who was still focused on driving while looking at the street.

"Thank you, brother Zico and sister Mia, for helping me"

"We're still Elica's family. Don't ask us for help"

"I hope that after arriving in Japan, my father and I can start a new life that is better" said Elica with her eyes straight ahead like looking at the future.

"That must be Elica. Forget about your past pain, don't think about your child. She must be okay with her dad"

"Yes, Zico is right. New life and new identity. Happiness I'll get"

"The spirit of Elica" Zico exclaimed cheering Elica on. Elica replied with a steady nod of her head.
