Alex just sneered in his heart.
A bunch of red roses that Rafli says contain the meaning of love should end miserably in the trash. Alex has just thrown it away to avoid a senseless debate with the possessive doctor.
"Now there's no more obstacle for me to meet the sick, is there?"
Rafli let out a long breath. Then glanced at Arumi who was staring at them. Not wanting to cause a commotion and hurt his status as a doctor at the hospital, Rafli chose to give up this time alone and let Alex see Arumi.
"It's so cute this one villain," grumbled inwardly, then passed away.
Alex is approaching Arumi. He still had time to glance towards the door to make sure there was no Doctor Rafli there.
"Oh yeah, actually the doctor was ready for you? I felt that his attitude was very possessive and strange," Alex asked in increasing astonishment. His two meetings with Rafli always happened the same thing.
Arumi was silent for a while. There was doubt reflected in his gaze.
"He is Doctor Rafli. Father of my son."
Alex seemed quite surprised to hear that answer. Arumi once said she had a daughter with a doctor. But Alex does not think that the man Arumi is referring to is Doctor Rafli.
"So he's the guy who sold you to an illegal labor agency?"
"I don't know. He claims he doesn't know about it."
"Of course he will admit to not knowing anything and deny his deeds. Maybe he didn't think you'd survive and come back, did he? I've memorized men like that."
There was a piece of objection when Arumi heard Alex's words. Deep down, he believes that Rafli is not that kind of person.
"That's it. Anyway, it doesn't matter to me anymore. Now all I think about is my son."
"alright. If you need anything, I'll help you. Including if you want to sue for custody of your daughter."
Again, Arumi was silent. Half his heart seemed hesitant to demand custody of Aika. Especially if you think about Aika's trauma that has not healed.
"Thank you, Alex. I owe you so much."
"It's okay, Arumi. I'm glad to help you."
"I won't be able to repay your kindness."
"You can repay him in other ways, right?"
The man grinned. Then he clasped Arumi's hand, but Arumi quickly pulled over.

A few days later.
"You ready?" ask the man while he steps his foot.
Arumi only looked at it briefly and commented a thin smile. A small suitcase he dropped to the floor.
"It."
"All right, give it to me." Alex grabs Arumi's suitcase. "I was going to pay for your treatment while in the hospital. But it turns out it's been paid for by Doctor Rafli."
"Yes, I know it's from the nurse."
Both left the room. However, his steps came to a halt while he was already in the doorway. Rafli was already standing firmly there with a flat gaze.
"Come, Arumi. I'll take you home" Rafli said.
"Not bother. Alex is taking me."
"But I won't let you go home with him. Anyway I've prepared a comfortable house for you and Aika."
Arumi did not respond to the man's words. These days Rafli is very intense approaching him and often gives a signal of love. Even every night comes to take care of him.
"thank you. But I'll still go home to where I used to live."
Rafli was at a loss for words. All his attention in recent days was reciprocated by Arumi with a flat and cold attitude. The thing that made Rafli fall into the fog.
But, of course Arumi's desire was not at all heeded by Rafli. He will do whatever he can to keep Arumi from returning to Alex's apartment.
"Come, Arumi. Don't be stubborn. At least think of our son."
Rafli's voice suppressing the word 'our son' created a frown on Alex's forehead.
"Just because you're the father of my son doesn't mean you can determine anything in my life, right?"
"I don't want to know! You and Aika will live in the house I prepared. Anyway starting tonight Aika will stay with you and I don't want my son to live in someone else's place."
Rafli positions himself right in front of Alex, then grabs Arumi's suitcase.
"Osman, bring Arumi's suitcase." He hands Arumi's suitcase into Osman's hands. "And you, Alex Erdogan, from now on learn to stay away from Arumi."
Rafli's attitude that feels excessive raises a question mark in Arumi's heart. Over the past few days, Rafli has been outspoken in his dislike of Alex and has been keen to keep them away.
While Osman who stood behind Rafli just fell silent and became the audience of the debate.
"See this guy! Ex is not, husband is not but his jealousy at the demon level. You are amazing, Sir!" gerutu Osman in heart.
