Yoooo.... I'm back!
Let's continue Rihan's story.

Rihan's car is now perfectly parked in front of his mansion followed by Alex's car. Usually Alex who arrived first and waited to open the car door, but Rihan without waiting opened the door. Rihan came out and walked rather quickly than usual. Rihan is so worried that his best friend is making him unsettled.
Arriving Rihan in front of Phiranita's room, a sharp gaze was cast on Doctor Damar and the two nurses beside her who were faithfully standing waiting for her. Without saying anything, Rihan then went inside followed by Doctor Damar and the others. Alen has also just joined because there are some things he has to do.
"When will the sedative run out?" Rihan asked in a hostile tone, but his gaze softened on Phiranita who looked calm in her sleep.
"4 hours, President."
"I want to see the results." Rihan's orders with his hands outstretched asking for an iPad in Doctor Damar's hands.
"This, President."
Rihan opened the iPad to see the results of a scan of Phiranita's head as well as the results of the examination.
"Add another tranquilizer. If necessary until tomorrow morning."
"I think you'd like to talk to Miss Phi so that the dose I give isn't too much." Reply Doctor Damar was afraid.
"Let Tata rest first. I'll see him in the morning." Rihan turned around and left.
"Okay, President."
Not yet at the exit, Rihan turned around and looked at Doctor Damar.
"No rest until tomorrow morning. Consider it a punishment for you."
"Ba..well, President." Doctor Damar replied with a sigh.

Time was still showing at 2pm and Rihan had nothing to do today so he just sat relaxing on the balcony of his room accompanied by Alex and Alen who were always faithful beside him.
Rihan sat down to relax while staring at the clouds that today is so bright unlike yesterday which was cloudy because of the heavy rain that flushed the earth.
"There's no work today so you can relax. Sit down and give me a drink!" Rihan's orders are what his two assistants have to do.
"Good, Miss." Simultaneously Alex and Alen then took a seat in two empty seats there, which faced directly with the employer.
Because there is no work today that requires Rihan to wear men's clothes so he now only wears casual clothes and sits on the balcony terrace of his room which is also provided a small table accompanied by 4 empty chairs surrounded him.
"Sister Alex, Brother Alen.. Tell me when should I be like this?" Rihan opened his voice flat but for Alex and Alen who had been with him all this time knew clearly the meaning of the words.
Without a word, Alen's two eyes glazed over being called brother directly by someone they respected a lot.
"Miss..."
"I don't really want to deal with him anymore. The more I met him, the more memories came and disturbed me. You know, sis, I just want to live my days like I used to, unfortunately those memories remain. Meet and not with him the memory remains. Do I have to avenge his actions and the memory is gone? I'm not sure if it works." Rihan murmured still in the same tone. It seemed, talking about the past was no longer a sensitive matter for him.
"Although I did not feel what the lady had experienced in the past, but if those memories could not be forgotten then what they did was truly fatal. I also know if we repay them just like what they did to us, it means we are the same as them. It's just, this heart will feel calm if others don't experience the same things as us." Alen expressed his opinion and looked at Rihan sadly.
Rihan just cleared his throat and nodded but his gaze remained straight towards the clouds in the sky there which were so bright. As for Alex, his eyes did not blink looking at Rihan. In his heart he desperately wanted to be a place of leaning for all his mistress' complaints.
"What about you, brother?" Rihan's gaze switched to staring right at Alex's two eyeballs making Rihan's assistant finally able to blink.
"Whether a person is, he will also feel hurt if he is treated unfairly repeatedly. When he chose to avoid the pain, the pain would always overshadow him. He did not want to repay them, but honestly seeing the person who hurt him happy on top of his suffering was probably even more painful.
Simply put, resuscitating the person who hurt her a little is okay." Alex's words involuntarily carved a thin smile invisible on Rihan's lips that looked back at the clouds.
"As Alex's sister said, a little bit of waking up doesn't matter, does it?"
"Yes, Miss."
"Where's my phone?" Rihan asked after a while they stayed there.
"Here, Miss." Alen answered and gave Rihan's phone.
"Thank you, Brother."
"Together, Miss." Reply Alen with a happy smile because there is still a word 'sister' there.
Picking up her phone, Rihan searches Albert's number and calls him.
"Yes, Rei?"
"The eyes have rested so you don't have to come."
A moment later, Albert continued.
"Did something happen to Ira during therapy?"
"Alex will send you the results of the Tata check."
After that Rihan immediately closed his call, making Albert across there curious half to death.
"Send Tata's scan to Albert, brother." Rihan then gives his phone to Alen again.
"Good, Miss." Alex replies and sends Phiranita's health file to Albert via his iPad.

At 5 a.m., Rihan was tidy with casual clothes to go to campus. Before that, Rihan will see the state of his best friend who may be soon or 1 hour away.
Rihan is accompanied by his two assistants to Phiranita's room. After entering, they could see Doctor Damar and two nurses sitting while staring at the sleeping Phiranita. From their circumstances it is clear if they do not sleep all night.
Those who saw Rihan's arrival immediately stood up and greeted him. Doctor Damar was a little shrewd because he sat too long. Understand it because of age.
"Good morning, President."
"You can go back and rest. Before that, follow Alex and take vitamins for you. Thank you for keeping Tata up all night." Rihan said after standing next to Phiranita's bed.
"Together the president, and thank you again for your kindness. This has become our duty. We're saying goodbye, President." Doctor Damar represented the two nurses beside him who were bowing down.
"Hm."
After the departure of the three men followed Alex, Rihan turned to look at Alen who was still there and told him to wait outside because he would wait until Phiranita came to her senses and wanted to talk to him. Alen then bothered and came out.
Rihan sits on the edge of Phiranita's bed staring at her best friend's shady face.
"I'm sorry I had to do this to you. I just want you to heal quickly and move as usual like everyone else. What you're going through is all my fault. I always wish you the best, Tata. Remember, if there is me who will always stand ahead for you." Rihan murmured as he stroked the hand of Phiranita he held.
While waiting for Phiranita to come to her senses, Rihan did not speak anymore and just looked at her childhood best friend who seemed to be sound asleep. Not long after, Rihan felt a small movement of Phiranita's fingers that she was holding. Seeing a glimpse of the two interlocked hands, Rihan then turned to look at the two eyes of Phiranita who looks open slowly.
After those eyes opened and seemed to be trying to adjust the atmosphere where he was.
"Please don't touch me... I beg! don't touch me!" Hysterical Phiranita when awakened and sat down unaware of Rihan's whereabouts.
Phiranita again shouted hysterically while covering both ears with a sitting position curled up on her bed. Sighing her breath for a while, Rihan approached Phiranita who was still in shock.
"Hey... It's me Rei, relax! No one's gonna hurt you as long as I'm here." Calm down Rihan and try to lower the hand of Phiranita who covered her ears.
Phiranita who heard Rihan's voice immediately raised her head and looked at Rihan with teary eyes then immediately hugged Rihan tightly.
"Max wants to hurt me, Han. Don't leave me with him again, I'm afraid!" Phiranita complains while crying in Rihan's arms.
"I know, I'm sorry. But Tata..."
"Please don't leave me again, Han."
"Look at me!" Rihan took off his arms and held Phiranita's shoulders a few inches in front of him.
"I will not be with you forever. So..."
"What do you mean, Han? Don't leave me!"
"Listen to me, Tata. If I'm not with you, you should be able to protect yourself. When you are in trouble and no one can help you, only you can be trusted. Only you can take care of yourself.
Don't let your pain, your weakness, your trauma hurt yourself. You have to fight against all of that. You want to heal, right? You want to take a walk with me, don't you?" Phiranita only replied with a nod so Rihan resumed.
"If you want to heal and walk with me, then you must be able to fight your trauma. Fight him! Fight those who try to hurt you. Think of it as therapy for your recovery. If you succeed, if you recover, I promise I will grant all your wishes. So, will you fight your trauma?" Rihan spoke in seriousness while looking into Phiranita's eyes.
"Ak.I want to heal. I want us to go for a walk with you. I will fight those who hurt me. I want to fight my trauma, Han. I want to heal!" Phiranita smiled.
"I keep your promise! In addition to complying with your request later, I have also prepared a gift for you. So you need to heal, okay?"
"Yes, Han." Reply Phiranita then nodded.
"Yes, already. Then I'll have Brother Alen help you prepare and we have breakfast together."
"Mh.."
