The Man Full of Wounds
Chapter 100

Zack goes into Alanna's treatment room when it's dusk.

Zack's appearance was a little messy, tie tied loosely around his neck, and the suit he had worn this morning was now detached and held by Johan walking behind him.

"Mas looks exhausted." Alanna's comments were concerned, as Zack sat in the chair beside her bed.

"Little." Zack.

"How's it going with Maya ?" mama Rani asked curiously.

"Maya's now being held at the police station, I'm leaving her under interrogation in the investigation room."

"Good, we have to keep watching lest he escape the mistake he made." Said Mama Rani.

"Don't worry Ma, our lawyers will take care of it."

"You don't want to go home to Zack ? Tonight you better sleep at home, let Sinta accompany Alanna tonight at the Hospital." Mama Rani said to divert the conversation, seeing Zack's state of fatigue.

"No Ma, I'm fine. I can't even sleep well and would think of Alanna if I took a break at home." Reject Zack.

"Are you sure ?" Mama Rani asked back.

"Yes Mama, if Mama comes home tell people to deliver change of clothes for me."

"Well then Mama's going home first." Mama Rani stood up to Alanna's bed. "Alanna, Mama go home first, baby." Added Mama Rani pamit.

"Yes, Mama."

"Tomorrow Mama's coming again."

"Johan deliver Mama home, after that you can go home." Zack.

"Good sir."

Mama Rani walks towards the door on Johan's tail from behind.

"Betul mas Zack is okay ? I'm fine if you stay at home tonight. Mas Zack needs a good rest so as not to hurt." Alanna said worried.

"It's okay baby, you don't have to worry because you should think about your health more."

Tok to tok.

I heard knocking on the door from outside.

"Lock !" Zack.

The door opens, the attendant enters from the Hospital kitchen delivering dinner for Alanna.

"Where's this in the place ?" ask the Hospital Kitchen Officer.

"Just put it on that table." Zack replied pointing at the table in front of the sofa.

"Good." The kitchen attendant said she placed Alanna's food on the table, then walked out and closed the door from the outside.

"Would you like to eat ?" ask Zack.

"A little more."

"All right."

"Mas Zack himself has eaten ?" ask Alanna back.

"Not yet."

"Mas go out to dinner first."

"If you go, who will accompany you here ?"

Alanna frowned. "So you don't eat ? mas Zack go eat first, I'm fine in staying a while."

"No, I'm not going out. I called people at home first to drop clothes and have dinner for me." Zack said he stood up to pick up the phone in his pocket, which was lying on the couch.

"Who wants to mas Zack phone ? if Mama's still on the road."

"Mas wants to call Sinta." Answer Zack while busy pressing the phone screen.

There was a ringtone connected, Zack meloudspeaker the voice of his phone.

"Hallo." Sinta's voice sounded as soon as the phone connection was connected.

"Hallo Sinta." Reply Zack.

"Yes, brother Zack, why call me ?"

"It's dinner for me at the Hospital, I can't eat out because there's no one to keep Alanna here."

"Sister Zack wants to have dinner outside ? I can go there to accompany Alanna if Brother Zack wants to go out to eat." Sinta offered herself.

"No, I'm also actually lazy to eat alone outside. Take my dinner with the change of clothes you want to send to the hospital."

"Where is Mama ? isn't he in the Hospital looking after Alanna ?"

"Mama's been home since then, maybe soon."

"Sir Risno is still at home, Mama who's with him ?" ask Sinta wonder.

"O........." Sinta mutters.

Alanna who from earlier just silently smiled faintly hearing Sinta's last words

"A long time ago, I turned off the phone." Zack then disconnected the phone.

Zack looked at Alanna. "Sweetie you better eat now."

"All right, sir."

Alanna got up and arranged a position to sit down while Zack arranged a small table placed in front of Alanna.

Zack picks up Alanna's food and puts it on the small table in front of Alanna.

"Can you eat by yourself ? want a bribe, right ?"

Alanna shook her head smiling. "No, I can do it myself."

Alanna bribed slowly and chewed her food slowly due to bruises in several places on her face.

Zack who noticed Alanna feeling sad, reached out gently rubbing Alanna's bruised face "Still hurting dear ? just slowly chew the food."

"A little bit." Alanna replied on the sidelines chewing. "Mas Zack, how long do I have to stay at the Hospital ?" Alanna asked.

"Maybe a little long darling, in addition to the curette you also have a serious wound on the head and need to be sewn so maybe you can go home if the wound is healed." Zack explained.

"Why dear ? bored for too long in the Hospital ?" Zack asked adding.

Alanna shook her head. "It's not just that if you keep looking after me like this, your work will be disrupted and afraid mas Zack will be sick from fatigue."

"It's okay, baby, you don't have to think. That job is not comparable to you, after all there is Johan who can take care of the work while I'm here looking after you.

"Have not much to think about, just finish your food."

The rest of Alanna finished her food in silence.

Zack puts Alanna's old dinner plate back on the sofa table and tidies Alanna's bed.

"Is there anything you want ?" ask Zack.

"There's no mas."

"Then you lie down."

Alanna complies and lies back down. A knock on the door rang out from outside following the open door.

Zack and Alanna turned towards the door at the same time.

Sinta appeared on the tail of Johan from behind with two bags of paper bags. Zack frowned at their arrival while Alanna smiled again.

Johan placed two bags of paper bags on the table.

"I'm coming to deliver Zack's order." Sinta said with a smile, sitting on the sofa.

Zack stood up to step closer to the table and checked the contents of the paper bag bag. "Why did you come to deliver this ?"

"Kasian Pak Risno must be tired if you go back and forth to take this." Answer Sinta.

"You're not the same as Johan who has to drive you back and forth, why don't Johan alone take him so he can go home without having to drive you back home." Zack Protest.

"Here you go, don't be angry for what happened again and Johan doesn't matter. Is it Johan ?" Alanna mediates.

"Yes, Mr. Zack, this isn't a big deal to be concerned about."

"Better to take a shower and then have dinner." Alanna.

"Alright, take a shower first." Zack picked up a paper bag containing his clean clothes, walking towards the bathroom door.

"So you guys go straight home now ?"

"We're leaving after Brother Zack finishes his bath." Answer Sinta.

"No need, you guys just go home now. Kasian Johan, you'll be home too late because you have to take you first."

"Well then we go home first." Sinta said at last.

"I'll excuse you, Miss Alanna." Pamit Johan is nodding his head back by Alanna.
