The Story of Margaretha
07

"Drink your medicine before the fever" commanded Andra, who had been sitting beside Margaretha.

Not speaking anything, Margaretha simply took the medicine that had been provided, took it and went back to sleep. Andra who saw that also became astonished by herself. Margaretha's attitude has completely changed.

"Are you okay?" ask Andra worried.

"Gue wants to sleep." Margaretha closed her eyes and answered tightly. Really he still feels lazy when remembering Andra's closeness with Patricia.

"alright. Good night and I'll stay here." Andra remained in her place, while Margaretha remained silent and kept her eyes closed.

The effects of the drug that was taken made Margaretha who was initially just pretending to finally really fall asleep. Andra's smile expanded upon hearing the girl's subtle snoring. Braving herself, she gently rubbed the top of Margaretha's head.

Andra still did not expect if it could be met with Margaretha. The man he was looking for on Eldrick's orders. Going to the city just to find the whereabouts of Margaretha, Andra also looking for a job to connect her life. He did not expect, an unintentional mistake that made Rasya told him to work at Gatra's place, too, in the end, Andra realized that Rasya's best friend who also worked at Gatra's restaurant was Margaretha—the girl he had been looking for all this time.

"Well, is this young lady?" ask Andra. Shows a photo of Margaretha working at the restaurant. Eldrick who was sitting relaxed at that time immediately grabbed Andra's phone to see it. Eldrick frowned deeply as he watched the photo, and the next split second his smile grew as he realized it was Margaretha who was looking for it.

"Yes. She's Young Miss Etha. Where'd you get this picture, Ndra?" asked Eldrick so demanding an answer.

"I work at the same restaurant as him." Andra smiled with satisfaction. Especially when looking at the face of Eldrick who looks crisp.

"Thank God. I didn't expect that Young Miss was this old now." Eldrick sat leaning back and stared at the ceiling of the room with nanar. His eyes were wet when he remembered the events earlier. An event that really created deep pain for him.

"Indra, will you from this moment on look after the young lady?" pinta Eldrick's. Instead of staring at his adopted son who was also staring at him.

"Alright, Dad. Even though that girl is pretty shitty." Andra answered a little idly.

"Why indeed?" ask Eldrick wonder.

"Whispering, Dad. Especially if you are with your gang. It has exceeded the market" said Andra was upset, while Eldrick chuckled when he saw the look on Andra's face.

The two people talked to each other a lot. Especially about Margaretha's past. Andra's heart ripples as Eldrick returns to tell the story of Margaretha's parents who were shot dead in front of the girl.

Andra's phone ringing instantly woke the man from his daydream. Andra immediately reached into the phone from her pants pocket and walked away to receive the call. However, a minute later Andra went back in and saw Margaretha who was still sound asleep. While he has to leave right now. Andra rushed to the nurse's room and asked one of them to tell Margaretha when she woke up. After the nurse agreed, Andra immediately went from there.

Fifteen minutes passed, Margaretha opened her eyes. His body felt better after sleeping for a while. Margaretha scanned the entire room and was astonished not to see Andra there.

"Are you awake, Miss?" The nurse who helped yesterday, came and smiled when she saw Margaretha.

"Already, Sus." Margaretha answered listlessly. His mind was still raging and wondering where Andra was going.

"Miss, the friend who is guarding you is away because of a sudden affair. So, he asked me to accompany you first. Do you need anything?" polite. Margaretha shook her head quickly.

"Sus, I want to take a walk alone in the park." Margaret spoke doubtfully.

"Let me accompany you, Miss."

Upon arrival there, Margaretha let out a long sigh. Breathing in fresh air. At least this is better than having to keep lying in the gurney. Margaretha's gaze scanned around and came to a halt on the figure of the girl sitting alone and looking like she was nagging. Margaretha approached him.

"Hi, Miss. Are you okay?" greet Margaretha when she was next to the girl.

Agnes who was just nagging was instantly speechless and looked towards Margaretha. "Who are you?"

"How about we get acquainted. My name is Margaretha, call me Etha." Margaretha extended her hand and smiled towards Agnes. The girl immediately greeted him.

"Agnes," he replied. They both throw smiles at each other.

"I see you're angry with yourself. Is there something?" Margaretha dared to ask.

"I'm upset with my dad. He went out of town for a week without taking me. I'm lonely here" Agnes scolded shamelessly. In Margaretha's heart laughing, to a girl of Agnes' age who was even older than Margaretha's, Agnes' attitude showed how spoiled and childish she was.

"Didn't your dad invite you?" margaretha asked, trying to hold back the laughter.

"No. He just promised to buy me what I wanted. You know what I want?" ask Agnes like a child. Margaretha shook her head quickly and was still trying to hold back a laugh. "I want a big Boba doll."

"Haha." This time, Margaretha's laughter exploded. Really, hearing Agnes's request like a little boy made her unable to hold back a laugh, while Agnes pursed her lips in annoyance.

"Don't laugh or I'll complain to papa and he'll scold you" Agnes threatened and it made Margaretha laugh even more.

"That's how potent you are" said Margaretha, shaking her head in disbelief at Agnes' behavior.

"Yes. Papa is the one who loves me the most. He was willing to do anything for me despite having to bet his life. Papa says I am the jewel of his heart and his life. So my dad would do anything to get me healed." Agnes spoke softly, while Margaretha's laughter instantly muffled instantly.

"It's lucky that you have someone else's papa" Margaretha said.

"of course. Papa is the best and most sincere man who loves me. In fact, she treated me like a queen, '" she said.

Margaretha fell silent and took a deep breath. His heart felt throbbing when he heard Agnes' words just now. His face was suddenly sad.

Had my papa been around, I'm sure he would have been the same. Treat me like a queen and obey whatever I want. Calm down there, Pa ... Ma's.
