A DIVIDED HEART

Episode 73

Arriving at the restaurant, Alexa immediately stepped into his room. He broke through his employees who greeted him while serving customers who this time looked booming

Not a few of them who feel the strangeness and awkwardness of the Alexa attitude, usually Alexa will greet them and be friendly to anyone but this time not. He brings out the other side of his true nature, which is arrogant and hard,

"Mom Lexa why?" whisper one of his employees to another employee who has just finished delivering an order

"I don't know, I'm also confused, he doesn't usually like that" replied the other officer

"Maybe he was tired" and both of them continued their conversation and continued the work that this time felt so tiring

Inside her room, Alexa vents the anger she faces by nagging at the phone line. I don't know who he was calling this time who is sure that the person is having bad luck because Alexa spills all the anger that she had previously been sniffing at the person

"Rapidly finish, no trace will be left behind if you all do not wish to lose your lives!" Alexa firmly on that person and before long the call was over

Alexa then sat down and fell silent, he did not dare to scream or throw his belongings because it would be heard clearly from outside and would be the talk of employees and customers

...***************...

"Mother should eat first and then take medicine" I said as I fed Bu Mariyam with food that had just been delivered by the nurse

At first Ms. Mariyam refused because she felt that the food from the hospital was not good and plus now she felt that her mouth was bitter but for a long time she finally wanted it too after I persuaded her it's been almost an hour

"Thank you" he said softly while wiping the clear way that is now sliding on his cheek

"Together, ma'am" she smiled

"Why are you waiting for me here, shouldn't you be working?" continued

"I quit my job, Mom!"

"Why is it, is the salary not appropriate or the job that makes you uncomfortable?" I then immediately explained the actual incident, at first he was confused but after I explained again he finally understood

"The problem will never be solved if you avoid it, the longer and farther you avoid it, the more the problem will still be felt in your heart. Finish it all later you can choose to keep working there or not!" I bowed my head to the advice of Ms. Mariyam

"Mature is not based on age but it is formed from a thing, how you deal with it and also react to it" he said again as he rubbed the shoots of my head

The warm touch of the middle-aged woman made me cry immediately, I don't know why but for sure when the hand rubbed my head, I remembered Mama. She often does that when I'm in trouble, her slow voice and her shady eyes make me feel like I've found the answers to my every problem

"Why crying?" I shook my head

"Mama" that's all I said

"I'm saying yes, Mom. I will be back again!" Ms. Mariyam was idle with a smile and I immediately left from there

I walked in the hallway of the hospital with a slow step while thinking about what was just said by Ms. Mariyam, right also he said if the problem must be faced and not avoided, but speaking is easy and doing it is difficult

Other people don't feel what I feel, abandoned and deceived by the people we trust and love. It hurts, and can't even be spelled out with words

"Agnes, where are you going?" William asked as we both passed each other in the hallway

"I want to leave for a while, sorry" I left William alone, continuing his journey to Bu Mariyam's nursery

I myself am now in an online taxi that will take me out of nowhere because I have not yet determined where I am going. I myself am still worried about my feelings, what Ms. Mariyam said is true but I do not know if I can do it

The phone continues to sound, there are many incoming messages and also the call hangs since it continues to repeat. I just saw it and did not intend to retaliate or lift it

In a different place

Sumi and Mr. Smqin are now hiding in an empty house, they continue to avoid and hide from the pursuit of the 6ang spies sent eh Alexa

Those who initially just hid now appear and try to bring back Mbak Sumi and Pak Samin according to Alexa's direction

"We split up, you go that way and you go that way!" firmly a tall man was on his two friends who had almost the same body as him

They both nodded and then influenced in the direction that had been shown, and the division of the task was now looking for prey right next to the house used by Mbak Sumi and Pak Samin hiding

The sound of items being thrown, the door being forcefully erected as well as the swearing from the man were clearly heard in both of their ears

"Don't make a sound, he's near us" whispered Sumi in Mr. Samin's ear and he nodded

The man now changed to a house occupied by Mbak Sumi, he continues to tear apart the place until now like a broken ship hit by waves and rocks, rock, Sumi's mother and also Mr. Samin who at that time hid behind a pile of garbage and also used plastic are now increasingly undiscovered because the predator did not even touch that point

He thought that it was just a pile of ordinary trash and moreover that pile of trash gave off an odor that could not be tolerated by the nose of anyone who smelled it

"Damn!" swear once again and he then went away, from the sidelines of the garbage pile Sumi tried to ascertain whether the situation was safe or not and will soon run away

After being felt safe, he then gave Mr. Samin's warning to immediately move from there. Without making a sound, both of them went out of the pile of garbage and immediately walked on tiptoes to get out of there, now both of them are taking refuge behind the rusty door that has almost fallen, he once again observed the surroundings and ensured safety

"We're leaving now" he said, holding Mr. Samin's hand tightly
