Jimmy
He had been in hospital for six days. 'Gift' from Nico made his nose broken, the corners of his lips torn, 2 molar teeth broken, and his jaw cracked. Not to mention the wound in the stomach due to tonsil-tubi. And now his condition is improving.
During that time, Anita had not even visited him. Only Surya who came occasionally monitored his development. Every time she was asked how Anita was and her father-in-law's reaction, she received no satisfactory answer. Surya just answered irit.
"You've been told to come here by Anita?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"Why won't Anita look?"
"No idea, sir."
"What is my in-laws' reaction?"
"I don't know."
And he just grumpily. If Anita could be contacted, she would not ask the security of Hendro's father's house much. Anita blocked her number.
VIP treatment rooms and guaranteed hospital fees do not make it at home. He wants to go back to Bali. Too embarrassed to come to his in-laws' house especially if he meets Nico. He was so scared. Could mutilated.
"Know where I'm being treated?"
So the question he asked when his brother and sister looked at the third day. They were all three brothers and her parents had long since died. But their relationship is not close because he makes the distance. The reed of treasure made him haughty. Every arrival of his brother to the house is always suspected of wanting to undermine.
"Gue was told by Anita. If it wasn't for him who likes both of us, ogah I came to see you." His sister answered lazily.
At the time of illness he was still acting haughty making the atmosphere feel stiff. So that his two brothers did not feel at home for long.
He sighed long. The doctor said he could come home tomorrow morning. Time feels slow moving because it is lonely in solitude. Since yesterday he has been able to do his own bathroom business, no longer need the help of nurses.
The door of the room knocked. His forehead shriveled. Who's knocking on the door? Usually if the doctor or nurse will go straight in. He who chose to sit on the sofa while playing a mobile phone, shouted lazily.
"Lake in!"
"Good day, Mr. Jimmy."
Two people wearing suits approached and regretted it.
"How is he doing now?"
He was still stunned by the arrival of an unknown person. The second greeting from the aged man made him realize.
"Ba-good." He stuttered a little in shock.
"Sorry who are you?" He looked at the two guests sitting opposite him.
The man who was the same age as Hendro's father smiled calmly and glanced at the colleague next to him. Maybe it was the assistant.
"Include me Roy, Anita's mother's lawyer."
"Please read it."
The lawyer moved the file in front of him.
"What's this?" His forehead is getting bigger. Not yet separated from the surprise of hearing guests who introduce themselves. Now he stared at the file in front of him with a sense of degan.
"That's a divorce file filed by Anita's mother."
"What?!?" He opened the map. Instead of looking up at the guest with shock and pias face.
Roy's lawyer told him to read the file before he could be further explained.
He swallowed the saliva heavily.
The first sheet he read with trembling hands.
Subject: Divorce lawsuit
Hespectingly, Respectfully,
I'm the one who signed below, though,
*Name: Anita Maheswa*ri
"NO!" He threw the file he was holding hard onto the table. Until some of the paper is scattered.
"You don't make this up." He stared intently with angry glare at the two guests.
"Everything is clear, Mr. Jimmy. What are we making up for." Roy's lawyer showed a copy of Anita's ID card as well as a marriage license to strengthen the evidence.
"I won't linger. Mr. Jimmy just sign the divorce deal so the business is done."
"I refuse!"
"Okay, Mr. Jimmy. The choice is only 1. You sign this letter or you're in jail for attempted rape."
"The threat of his sentence is 8 years in prison."
"Please choose!"
It's not warty.
The cloudy morning.
He stepped out of the hospital lobby with a backpack containing clothes that Surya originally brought as a change of clothes.
By ourselves. No family picked him up. His body was still limp and grew uninspired when he knew all ATM cards and credit cards had been blocked. Only one valuable thing he still had. Cell phones.

Anita
The news delivered by the lawyer made his heart sore but the other side felt relieved, apart from the tightness that squeezed the chest. That was because he had to give up. No longer able to maintain the integrity of the household.
While in Bali he was busy with evaluation meetings in hotels and villas that had been entrusted his leadership to Jimmy as GM general manager). The outcome?
The accounting manager's report made him shake his head. Many streams of funds are sent to Jimmy's personal account without his knowledge. What's that much money for? He's rubbing his forehead. Dizziness.
His parents' legacy cannot be destroyed. He no longer wanted to disappoint his parents for the second time.
Breeze of the beach in the afternoon hit his body that was relaxing on the beach chair. Behind his sunglasses he watched the boy play with the sand to form houses.
"Mommy, when to Jakarta?" It's been a week."
He must persuade his only child who charges a promise by sulking.
"Mommy's job isn't done yet, baby. Just be patient!"
And this is where he spent the afternoon by persuading Naura to play water and sand and see the sunset from the private area of his hotel whose view overlooks the open sea.
He had to recover his hotel's 'health' before leaving Bali.
"Hi adek..."
"You're like my grandfather Manda, ihhh funnyuu..."
"Whose name is Om...."
His daydream was piqued with Naura's carefree voice talking to the foreign man holding the little boy.
"The name is Alif."
"What's his name?"
"I'm Naura, Om"
The conversation became clearer as he walked closer. Worrying about the child. Although there are two bodyguards who oversee the safety of himself and Naura.
"Naura, play it. It's getting dark." He stretched out his hand to get Naura closer.
Naura shook her head and rewinded her body two steps.
"Be more, Mommy."
"There's a funny one...." Naura cheerfully pointed to the man holding me a plump baby who was laughing happily because Naura was playing 'Ciluk Ba'.
"It's not dark yet, ma'am. Let's play with Alif."
"Hm..his name was who..oh Naura yes."
"It looks like Naura kangen..."
The friendly man made her grimace.
"Naura means her cousin in Jakarta."
"Naura's an only child."
"Owh." The man nodded in understanding.
He regretted. Why should you explain it to a stranger. He turned his face the other way. Fortunately, I wear sunglasses. It will not be seen if he is groggy because of shame.
"Well, it has to be made adek if that's the case. Surely the house is more colorful because it has a cheerful and cheerful sister Naura. Must be a loving brother." The man smiled broadly.
He just smiled thinly.
"Sorry, I'm rude."
"Want to be here too?"
The word 'also' assures her that the man is a guest at her hotel. It is also seen from the beach hats worn. The souvenir of the hotel.
"Yes." Yeah." He answered briefly.
After being persuaded for the umpteenth time, Naura complied.
"Om, can Naura kiss Alif first?"
"By, brother Naura...."
The man subdues the body so that Naura can reach Alif, a plump baby that she estimates is 10 months old.
"Already, honey..." He warned Naura who had kissed both cheeks Alif even continued to invite play until the baby was chuckling.
"Bye....Alf."
"Bye...Om."
"Let's see you again...."
After saying goodbye to the man, he walked slowly while guiding the child. Naura walked backwards as her little girl was still shouting and waving her free hand to the two strangers.
