At 9 a.m., Rihan was already on his bike, as he was going to college.
"So brother Neo as long as I'm not around. If she needs anything, get it ready for her." Said Rihan before wearing a helmet.
"You seem to be very worried about him," murmured Alex who Rihan could hear.
"Because he's sick. I'm leaving!" Reply Rihan, and turn on the bike and get out of there.
"I know, Miss. But..." Alex stared at the departure of Rihan who was no longer visible in the courtyard of the mansion.
"We just need to support the lady, sister." Alen and pat Alex slowly on the shoulder and smile thinly.
"That's our job. But.. Come on, let's go in!" Alex replies and the two go inside.

Rihan, who was riding his motorcycle at an average speed, suddenly stopped by the side of the road because he saw something appearing on the videotron on the side of the road.
Videotron is a medium that displays video with semiconductor lighting that converts electricity into light, large, usually to serve ads or presentations.
Videotron is a large screen to serve ads. There are also those who interpret this videotron as a billboard in digital form. If abroad people are usually familiar with the term LED Display.
Usually only advertisements or presentations appear there, but this time the news is brief about the paralysis of a favorite child of Samuel Samantha. Ariana Angel Samantha's.
Rihan who saw him frowned. A few days passed after the incident, and Samuel or Ariana's father closed the meeting on the condition of his son from the media. Samuel just doesn't want the media to find out the cause of his beloved son who is experiencing paralysis.
Without figuring out why the news could have appeared, Rihan clearly knew who the culprit was. Who else if not Ayu, because the videotron is only owned by the Antarik family company. Ayu would obviously do that for her rival in seizing Young Master Rehhand to be reduced.
"The girl seemed to be making good use of the situation." Rihan murmured inwardly and reinstated his motor.
...
Arriving at the campus, Rihan can hear the rumors of students talking about Ariana. Rihan did not care and headed for the medical school parking lot.
"Have you seen the news, Rei?" Albert asked toward Rihan who was walking towards the classroom. There's David and Dian next to Albert.
"Hm."
"What is the cause? I became curious. The reporters were still busy surrounding Ariana's residence, as well as the hospital where the girl was being treated. They wondered what the girl had done. Not to mention, the case of Ariana who bullied a girl in her High School began to be discussed." Albert spoke seriously.
"Bully a girl? Do you know who that girl is?" Ask Dian curiously. He also heard this rumor.
"Yes. You know him too" replied Albert steadily.
"Who?"
"Srihan."
"really? Why did I just find out?" Shock Dian. That girl knows nothing at all.
"As I said earlier, it was a case that was covered up by the Ariana family. But the real story I know." Albert's voice sounded proud.
"Tell me!" Dian is so excited.
"Don't bucket, Al." David was not happy with Albert.
"But Dian's our best friend. It's time he found out. Dian couldn't possibly tell it to anyone else either." Albert defended himself.
"Whatever." Reply David lazy. Rihan himself is only a loyal listener.
"Thank you for taking me as your best friend." Said Dian and smiled sincerely.
"Either. Still want to hear my story?" Albert asked as he lowered his brows looking at Dian.
"Yes." Yeah."
"Since there's still time before class starts, let's find a quiet place, because this shouldn't be heard by anyone else." Albert then pulled out Dian's hand and left from there.
"What about Rei and Dev? They don't want to hear the story?" Dian asked who paused for a moment and looked at Rihan and David.
"David knows this story. If it was Rei. Let's go!" Albert answered and pulled Dian away from there.
After the departure of Albert and Dian, David turned to look at Rihan.
"You must know what happened to Ariana. I'm sure it is." Said David who saw Rihan's calm nature earlier.
"If I knew, then what?" Reply Rihan flat.
"It must be related to you or, wait... Don't tell me it's Rihan, because I haven't seen him in days." David's expression suddenly turned worried.
"As you think,"
"So right? What did Ariana do to Rihan? And where's Rihan? Please tell me!" David is worried.
"Want to see Rihan?" Ask Rihan.
"Obviously very wanted, and you know it."
"Hmm? Rihan can't meet anyone else until he's cured."
"He sick? Please tell me clearly what Ariana has done. Don't freak me out, Rei."
Rihan only glares at David at a glance, then picks up his phone, opens something and gives it to David.
"This.yeah, Lord! Rihan is okay?" David is so worried after seeing a video where Rihan holds the head of Beatrix who was injured after being shot by Ariana. Rihan has prepared a piece of the video to show David.
"Yes." Yeah." Rihan answered and took his phone out of David's hand.
"Why can't I meet him?" David asked with a worried face.
"He's with his girlfriend. You want to see their affection? Besides, Mentra won't let you see Rihan." Rihan answered and went to class.
"He'll be back on campus in a few days after he's fully recovered." Rihan said sitting in his place.
"good. I'll wait,"

At 11:30, Rihan entered the mansion. Alex was waiting for him. Alen himself was preparing lunch.
"You're back, sir." Greet Alex after bowing a little to Rihan.
"How's Neo doing?" Rihan asked and continued walking towards the elevator.
"His fever is down a little bit. Mr. Neo woke up an hour ago and kept asking for your return." Answer Alex and press the elevator button up.
"Hm. Have you seen the news today?" Rihan asked while confirming his watch.
"Already, Sir. The snake seemed to want to get rid of the fox as soon as possible." Answer Alex calmly.
"Did?"
"I mean Miss Ayu. He's like a snake."
"Your name is pretty good" Rihan replied and shook his head.
"Some journalists have found your bullies first, sir." Said Alex.
"Leave it. That's good for Ariana. You just need to monitor it" Rihan replied and exited the elevator.
"Good Sir. You don't want to ask where did they get the case from?" Ask Alex and follow Rihan.
"Surely from Ayu."
"Yes, Sir. The snake turned out to have some experts in searching for one's past."
"Keep watching the girl" Rihan said and opened the door to his room.
"Good, Sir."
"I've been waiting for you for an hour" Neo complained after seeing Rihan's appearance.
"I'm not asking you to wait for me, brother." Reply to Rihan and head to the walk in closet to change his clothes.
"But I'm the one who wants to wait for you. So you have to understand." Neo murmured when Rihan did not hear it.
"Can you not trouble my employer? The schedule of the young master was already quite a lot. Don't add to the burden of his thoughts," Alex's tone sounded annoyed at Neo.
"I'm sorry for that. But I don't want Rei to be away from me. You have to understand that."
"Ck... Who do you think you are, who is acting at will? You should realize, if the young master is near you, he will definitely get hurt. It's been almost a few times his life almost floated because of you. Can you understand? You don't even understand how Young Master feels. I always refrain from saying this. But..."
"That's enough, Lex!" Rihan suddenly cut Alex's words.
"Sorry, Sir."
"Hm. Come down first. I'll catch up later" Rihan said after putting his phone on the nightstand and sitting by the bed.
"Good Sir. Again I'm sorry."
"Hm."
"I'm sorry, too" Neo opened his voice after Alex had already left.
"For?"
"Always bother you."
"Finally Brother Neo is conscious."
"Yes. I just realized it. I apologize and thank you for being by my side all this time. It helped me and my family. Thanks for everything. But I won't promise not to trouble you."
"Huh?"
"If I promise not to trouble you, it's the same as keeping you away from me. I don't want that to happen. You should always be by my side. Point!"
"Ck..it's not wrong I called you." Rihan's lips are upset.
"Hehehe.. nicknamed me as he pleased." Reply Neo still chuckles.
"Sister Neo's having lunch?" Rihan asked and placed his palm on Neo's forehead.
"Yet. I'm hungry..." Neo replied with a hearty face looking at Rihan's hand on his forehead.
"Stop that disgusting face." Pity Rihan and lower his hand.
"Good! But I'm hungry,"
"Let's eat downstairs. Or are you going to be ushered in here?" Rihan asked to get his phone.
"To here only. I'm still limp. Suap me again, yeah."
"Hm." Rihan then sends a message to Alen to bring Neo's food to the room.
...
The next day, Neo was active as usual. The fever went down last night. Though the man hopes his fever lasts a long time so that Rihan is always next to him. Unfortunately, without a doctor, Rihan's medication has made the man's fever recover.
Neo also had time to pretend he was still feverish, but Rihan knew that and clapped his head and threatened him so much that Neo scowled to stop his plan.
As she recovers, Rihan again avoids Neo. Rihan has always been out of the mansion or lingering in the workspace so as not to meet Neo. Rihan has also accelerated the resort development project so Neo is really busy.
