"Sir, let me take care of Miss Meisha."
Mikel's body was almost sped up when surprised to hear Nathan's sudden words on the sidelines of their breakfast together. Even the food that was successfully chewed failed to glide perfectly so that it made him choke. Then Mikel immediately grabbed a glass of water and sipped it until it ran aground.
"What are you talking about Nath?" Mikel raised a question mark. He had not been able to properly digest what he had just heard from his assistant's mouth.
Nathan quietly took a deep breath. Somehow his courage since he had gathered suddenly vanished when he was looked at so sharply by his master.
"So, sir, isn't the doctor suggesting that we shouldn't treat Miss Meisha like a sick person. Therefore I want to take care of Miss Meisha, take Miss Meisha to new places with a comfortable atmosphere." Finally Nathan managed to convey his intention that since last night continues to haunt him.
Mikel looked at Nathan's face, there was no joke there. There are only eyes full of seriousness. "Are you sure of your decision, Nath? You know it's not easy to face Mei, she can be hysterical at any time. I just don't want to trouble you. Especially if something happens to Mei, I'll blame you so much, Nath."
"I'm sure sir. And I'll take responsibility if anything bad happens with Miss Meisha." Nathan answered straight. Indeed, from the very beginning of seeing Miss Meisha, there was something inside her that was eager to keep the fragile woman.
Mikel was silent for a moment, weighing Nathan's request. Of course he must think about it, because taking care of Meisha is a pretty elbow thing. Jared and Amber are often overwhelmed by Meisha's hysterics, and her assistant offers to look after Meisha.
"Alright.." Mikel replied in the end. There's no harm in giving Nathan a chance to look after his sister. Maybe with Nathan, Meisha will slowly recover. What he had noticed all along from his assistant, Nathan was truly a gentle and patient man. Maybe in Nathan's hands, Meisha will feel comfort. "Amber will help you if you have trouble confronting Mei" he continued.
"Good Sir. Then I'll take Miss Meisha down to the dinner table for breakfast with you." Nathan resigned from there, after ending his breakfast.
Mikel just nodded, he was not sure if Nathan could persuade Meisha, because previously he had done various ways so that his sister would eat breakfast with him at the dinner table. But Meisha shook her head strongly and almost hysterically. Mikel gave up, he did not want to force his sister who could trigger a shake back.
Mikel's eyes glazed over as she found Meisha responding to whatever Nathan said her sister had never shown her. Meisha accepts the bribe after the bribe given by Nathan, although Meisha more rejects and shakes her head.
"Miss, after this I will take Miss for a walk. Therefore Miss must comply with Amber because Amber will help Miss change clothes," said Nathan softly. He had just helped Miss Meisha have breakfast which was quite difficult to persuade. But he did not give up, proved Miss Meisha willing to comply with his words.
"Amber, help Mei to her room and change her clothes in comfortable clothes. Don't give Mei excessive accessories," Mikel ordered to Amber who had also been among them noticed Miss Meisha who really showed little progress.
Mikel stood up, now he was neat in his suit. This afternoon he had to come to the company without Nathan, leaving his assistant on leave for a few days. "Call me once every hour. Make sure Mei is okay. If she's getting uncomfortable, you better get out of there and don't wait until May's hysterical." Mikel is so chatty when it comes to Meisha. Therefore he wanted the best, even a few years ago, he was not always next to his sister.
"Good sir." Nathan nodded until he noticed his master who had passed. Highlight his eyes then circled around, where there were some sturdy men who he believed were Mikel's men. Nathan would only follow what his master said, leaving them on guard while outside.

As soon as the work was delayed for a few days, Mikel rushed out of his room, leaving the company lobby for his car parked in the front yard. Without a private driver, Mikel gassed the gas to the hospital. This afternoon he had to meet his woman, had two days not seen the woman make him in the daze of longing.
The sound of the brake pedal was heard shrill because Mikel was so impatient to park his car among other cars lined up neatly in the hospital parking lot. He got out of the car and took a long step splitting the hospital lobby that looked crowded. Indeed it comes to coincide with the hours of patient visits so much is passing by.
The sound of a clashing step that hit the floor of the hospital hallway seized the tail of Mikel's eyes glancing towards the origin of the sound. Followed by his steps that had to be stopped once he found the voice was not foreign, especially now he saw the owner of the voice.
Mikel stared at the middle-aged couple who always looked friendly anywhere and anytime. The two middle-aged couples were reminiscent of their parents, they really looked similar even they were best friends before. Somehow their reaction if they know their two friends are dead in the world.
The middle-aged couple were none other than Xavier and Elleana. The two teary eyes of Mikel did not move a second away from the two, the look in his eyes was filled with deep longing. He looked at them as if he were looking at his parents.
"Ehem...." Mikel jumped in shock when the sound of Deheman jerked his ears. He turned his body and found Arthur standing behind him.
"Elie's fine." Without Mikel to tell him where he is, Arthur guessed it first so he informed his brother of his condition today. "Even though I don't like you but I should still thank you, because your blessing my sister is safe." Although impressed cold but Arthur really convey his gratitude sincerely.
"It was my duty to protect her. You don't have to thank me" Mikel said expressionlessly, just like Arthur.
Hearing Mikel's words, Arthur clicked his tongue. An obligation? Did the man already claim that Elie was his, he thought.
"Elie is my sister, I am obligated to protect and take care of her. So stop wasting your time and energy on something that's none of your business!"
Mikel screeched in his heart, Arthur was completely unchanged and always blurted out spicy and sharp words.
"Just wait, soon we'll be in-laws." Ignoring Arthur's sharp gaze, Mikel pinned a smile. Moreover, the face of Arthur's dislike for him seems so obvious that it makes him want to see Arthur annoyed more than this.
"You.....?"
"Ar, why are you talking to your friend here?" Mommy Elleana's voice hung Arthur's sentence, so Arthur had to swallow back the curse he was just about to lay to Mikel.
Mommy Elleana smiled, thinking that her son had accidentally met his friend. So he came closer, intending to let him into the room. Elleana's eyes met the man who was still on her back.
While Mikel's body was already seen stiffening when he heard that soft voice. Not because of surprise, but he was not ready to meet Mommy Elleana and especially if the middle-aged woman could recognize him, although some parts of his face seemed to change.
