The Little Sunshine
Chapter 42

When he opened his eyes, everything looked white even in his sense of smell that he already thought it was a hospital. He held his still throbbing head and tried to sit down.

"You're still recovering, get some rest." A large hand moved holding Alina's arm.

"Go you! I don't want to see your face anymore!" he snapped while shaking off the hand of Aksa who tried to hold it.

Aksa just silently looked at Alina who had difficulty sitting herself. There was a tinge of chastity on his face.

Before long a doctor came to bring equipment that is always held in his neck. Aksa smiled as the doctor walked in.

"Good morning, Mr. Aksa, Mr. Alina, is it better today?" greet a man wearing a doctor uniform who then turned towards Alina who was already sitting in a gurney bed.

"For the doctor, I've been better, can I get out earlier today?" alina asked as she forced a smile on her lips.

"Emm, the development is good, now you can go home." The doctor smiled as he reinserted the device that had finished examining Alina's organs.

The doctor turned his body back to look at Aksa who was still silent in her place. Then pat Aksa on the shoulder.

"Miss Alina is better, I'd like to talk to you for a minute sir." The doctor said he turned to Alina with a smile and then walked out of the room where Alina was.

"I'll see the doctor, wait for me for a minute" said Aksa who then he also came out.

Alina did not say anything, she looked at the window glass outside. He lowered his head and focused on his two legs which he bent, silent he let out tears.

Sounding from outside there were footsteps that were getting closer, Alina immediately wiped the tears that soaked her cheeks with a tissue that was on the nightstand beside her, he tried to normalize his face so that he did not know he had been crying.

As Aksa walked into the room, Alina threw her face towards the window, not wanting to stare at the man's face for long.

Likewise, Aksa did not say anything more, he tidied something into a small paper bag and handed another paper bag to Alina.

"Deplace your clothes with this, we can go home." Aksa.

Alina did not immediately say, even Aksa's hand that had not been welcomed since, she also put the paper bag on Alina's lap, then she came out by sticking the smartphone in her ear.

Alina stared at the tightly closed door, her hand moving to the paper bag that was on her lap.

After 5 minutes in the bathroom, he came out. Aksa, who had been waiting at the door, turned his head as the door handle moved. Alina already does not look as pale as earlier, she was too refreshed after using nude colored lips like most teenagers use it.

"It's over?" Aksa asked turned to face Alina.

Alina just kept quiet and did not say anything, she walked out and let Aksa who was still silent.

While in the parking lot, Aksa drove his car at a normal speed. Both are equally silent.

Until Aksa's residence, Alina did not say anything, immediately leaving Aksa just like that. Aksa no longer knows how to deal with Alina who suddenly silenced him.

Until the afternoon, Aksa forced to feed the girl to eat.

"Aksa! What the hell do you want, you've always bothered me, it's not enough for you to abandon me!" those words were so good Alina said. He bought an eye towards Aksa whose hand floated in the air preparing to feed in front of Alina's mouth.

Aksa let out a heavy sigh, then put the spoon back on the bowl.

"Then, what should I do?" Aksa said confusedly.

"You better just go, I want to be alone." Alina softened even she turned her eyes the other way.

Aksa placed the bowl of porridge on the nightstand beside Alina. Aksa came out of Alina's room. Alina stared at the door that was already tightly closed, Alina's eyes reddened for a moment.

Aksa sat on the terrace watching his son who was so active playing ball in the yard of the house with mbak Nana.

"Aksa!" A very familiar voice in his eardrum. He turned his head and found the middle-aged man walking towards him, then sitting next to the table.

"How's Alina doing?" Fandi asked as she sat on the chair while looking at her beloved granddaughter who even looked very similar to Alina.

"The doctor said, the concussion that Alina experienced made her forget some of her memories, maybe at this time she only remembered the time when it was painful alone,." said Aksa staring straight ahead.

"Emm, you have to be patient with all this Sa, Cavin is also very understanding about the state of his mother." Fandi stroked the back of Aksa's hand for a while and then got up to his grandson who was still busy playing ball.

"He, Opa's grandson." Cavin was enthusiastic when the opa came over.

Both of them enjoyed the ball game very much, as well as the middle-aged man even though his strength was not as strong as when he was young, even his breath often goes up and down when kicking the ball but does not reduce his enthusiasm to invite to play with his grandson.

Without them noticing, Alina stood behind the door listening to all the conversation with her uncle and husband, without her knowing she was shedding tears.

"Loh, non alina, who's standing here, why don't you come out with den cavin Non." an Art voice at Fandi's house reprimanded him.

Alina's hand rubbed her tears that had dripped, then twisted her body and smiled thinly.

"No matter what, I was just passing by.oiya I went to the room first mbok." reply Alina who then passed the Art.

Aksa who had heard the conversation immediately turned her head, then approached the Art.

"What's wrong, Mbok?" ask Aksa.

"That's den, Non Alina was here, then back to her room, oiya den, excuse me first yes, want to take the clothesline." said the Art that then passed.

Alina had fallen asleep in her bed after taking the medicine, while Aksa was sitting at her desk not far from the bed, check some files that he will use tomorrow morning for meetings with clients who are likely to come from Japan.

"Ah, no! Papa! Papa! Don't stay with me pa!" there was a soft murmur from Alina's lips, she also moved uneasily, her forehead covered in cold sweat.

Aksa, who had been focusing on her laptop, turned her back to the mattress that Alina was sleeping on. Aksa checked Alina's forehead with the back of her hand when she reached the bed.

"Papa, don't stay with me pa." Alina's hand caught Aksa's hand, then she fell asleep again and felt calm.

Alina's hand was so strong that it held Aksa's hand, it was even very difficult to remove. Aksa looked at the beautiful face of Alina, the face that always calms her life when she is in any trouble.

In fact, he also misses the scent of Alina's body that has been her candlestick all this time.

"I don't know how to make up for our lost time Al. I can only hope for the present and the future, I will make you smile again." he muttered softly.then he put his head on the other arm as a cushion.
