Alex was silent as soon as he heard Dad Kim's opinion. If you can be honest, in the deepest corner of Alex's heart he also feels suspicious about it. Even from the first day Zea said her legs could no longer move.
But on the other hand, Alex also can not fully suspect Zea for no apparent reason. Besides, according to Alex, there is no advantage if Zea lies to this extent.
"Alex thinks Zea is not lying Dad," Alex said after a moment of pensive pondering.
"Why can you be so sure?" ask Dad Kim in wonder. Yes, although Dad Kim knows that Alex is far from smart, but at least Dad Kim is sure that Alex is not that stupid to believe Zea to be like this.
"It's because Alex felt there was no benefit for Zea to lie about something this big" Alex replied.
"I think he's lying because of you!" dad Kim expressed his views on the cause of Zea, which is most likely lying.
"I mean Daddy?" ask Alex not to understand.
"That girl seems to like you Kim. Maybe this way, he hopes you can be his" Dad Kim replied. But his words made Alex laugh. "Why laugh?" ask Dad Kim in wonder.
"Alex didn't think Daddy was this funny" Alex replied with laughter on his lips.
"What do you mean? Dad doesn't understand."
Alex let out a long sigh to neutralize his voice after long enough to laugh at Dad Kim. "Dad Gini. If according to daddy Zea pretended to be paralyzed for wanting to be with Alex, that's a big mistake."
"Can't you?"
"Of course you can, because a few months ago Alex shot Zea. And Daddy knows? Zea refuses Alex. So, if he really wants to be with Alex, we should have been dating a few months ago" Alex explained. "Here's Daddy calling?"
"But Kim. Daddy still feels something is awkward with what is happening right now. Dad's just worried if the girl doesn't intend to be nice to you."
"Daddy is calm. Alex is big. Alex can take care of Alex. And Alex promises to be careful" Alex assures Dad that Kim doesn't have to worry about him anymore.
Dad Kim could only sigh deeply. Because he couldn't have made Alex believe it without real evidence. "Well if you've said that, Daddy can't say anything anymore" Dad Kim said. "If Dad comes home first. Later let pak Slamet with Mbak Siti here to replace keep Zea."
"No need for Dad. Tonight let Alex take care of Zea. Later, please ask Mr. Slamet to bring a change of clothes for Alex," said Alex.
"Are you sure you're gonna stay here?" ask Dad Kim to make sure.
"Yes Alex sure," Alex answered quickly. "Because somehow Zea can be here because of Alex's nolongin" continued Alex.
"It's up to you." Dad Kim got up from his seat. Then patted a glimpse of the son's shoulder before finally completely leaving Alex alone.
"Alex will be careful Dad. And Alex will find out for himself, whether Zea is lying right now or not" Alex murmured as he stared at Dad Kim's increasingly distant back.

It's been two days that Alex has been keeping Zea in the hospital. And it's been two days that Alex has noticed every move Zea. So far, nothing suspicious at all.
'Gue misses the same elo Key,' inner Alex while staring at a photo of Keyra in the gallery of his cellphone that he had taken secretly.
It had been two days not meeting to make the feeling of longing felt so big. It feels like Alex wants to go home and hug the girl Alex believes in if this moment really fills his heart.
For two days Alex did not leave the hospital at all because Zea did not want to stay alone. Even when Alex's housekeeping assistant wanted to take turns guarding Zea, the girl always refused and she only wanted Alex to take care of her.
"Lex, what are you doing?" asked Zea who had just woken up from her nap.
Alex looked towards Zea. "Not really anything," replied Alex as he put his phone into his pants pocket.
"Why there? Here!" pinta Zea patting the empty side of her bed.
Zea nodded her head in response. And just as usual, Alex also fed Zea very painstakingly.
"Lex, I'd like to say" Zea said shortly after finishing her lunch.
"Yes, but drink first." Alex held out a glass of water towards Zea.
"Can you talk now?" zea asked shortly after finishing the glass of water Alex gave her.
"of course. What are you gonna say?" Alex asked back.
"Emm... you still want your promise to be the same I was a few days ago?" Zea asked again.
"Which promise am I, Zee?" Alex frowned as if trying to remember his promise to Zea.
"That you......"
Geck.. Geck.. Geck..
The sound of knocking on the door made Zea not continue.
"Who's knocking at the door?" alex asked after glancing at the door of the inpatient room that was still tightly closed.
Zea shrugged both of her shoulders not knowing. Because Zea felt that none of her family or relatives knew she was in the hospital. "Or maybe Siti was eating lunch" Zea said. Because it was every lunch hour, Alex's housekeeper would come to bring lunch to his employer.
"But usually mbak Siti directly in if it's been hit the door once," replied Alex not sure if the housekeeper was the one who came.
Geck.. Geck.. Geck..
The sound of knocking on the door was heard again.
"Then look at Lex," Zea orders who's also quite curious about who knocked on her inpatient room door.
"Yes. I'll look at it first." Alex stood up from his seat and walked leisurely towards the door.
Geck.. Geck.. Geck..
As if impatient, the door was knocked back for the umpteenth time. But this time the beat sounded a little louder.
"Yes-yes patient," said Alex as he turned the doorknob and pulled the door leaf inward to make a sound of friction between the door leaf with the floor.
"How long ago," grumbled a girl with an upset face. Alex is now still staring at the girl in front of him.
"Sister....."
"Keyra are you here?" Alex came closer and hugged his beloved girl. He did not expect that the person who had been knocking at the door was Keyra, the girl he missed so much.
"Why are you here?" alex asked as soon as he let go of his embrace. He was very happy, finally his longing was paid in cash right now.
Keyra raised the food in her hand. "Mommy asked Key to do this for Alex's lunch."
"Mommy knows me the most" Alex muttered with a happy smile. Not because of lunch. But because of the girl who brought the luncheon.
"Lex who's coming?"
