After Parting Five Years

Can I hold you?

A bright smile emanated from Alin's face after she got a bonus from the manager for her good acting. Salary of the maid role was indeed given that day after the completion of filming.

Alin was about to buy some snacks to take to the hospital. He has also sent Rafa a message that he will stop working. And now, Rafa is under the mall, waiting for Alin to come home to work.

Not without reason the man came to where Alin worked. She was shocked, after reading a message from Alin. Without thinking much, he wanted to meet the woman immediately. The woman who stole his whole heart.

In the parking area, many film crews were gossiping about Alin who today, the rumors went into Rafa's ears. The man suddenly felt jealous.

“Don't, my salary is too small. So Alin switched professions to become an artist?” muttered. He immediately got out of the car when he saw the figure of Alin who was already looking towards him.

“Rafa! Geez, I told you we'll talk about it later.”

Alin ran small towards Rafa, thus making the ripe lump appear to sway. Rafa immediately turned his face away from that seductive-looking figure of Alin.

“How can he look so tempting even just because of running alone,” rutuk Rafa.

Alin smiled when he was close to Rafa. He pulls the man to Rafa's car and gets into it.

“Raf. Really, deh, I'm so sorry. I can't work at your place anymore. Nau is sick. I'd love my mom if she took care of Mau herself.” Alin gave an unmade excuse.

Indeed, earlier when sending a message to Rafa, he had not had time to give his main reason. Why he would stop working.

“Nau hurt what? Then, if you stop working, what about the cost. Or, we'll just get married. So you are quite silent at home being a housewife, you will have a lot of time for Nau,” said Rafa lightly. He often asked Alin to get married.

Alin only laughed faintly at the man's words. For him, the marriage offer was just a joke.

“Omong empty. Never mind, you better take me to the hospital now. Surely Nau is very happy to be visited by you,” said Alin while confirming the location of his seat belt.

From the other direction, Kenzi saw how friendly Alin was when talking to Rafa in the car.

“Bos, are you okay?” axel asked worriedly when he saw his master's face flushed even almost blackened.

“Axel, looks like I need taekwondo practice. Do you want to train with me.”

Deg.

Axel slapped his pretentious lips asking about his boss's condition. Taekwondo practice? Ah, her body could be crushed if she had to practice taekwondo with Kenzi.

Arriving at the hospital, Alin takes Rafa to Naufal's room.

“Why not find a better hospital than this. Why didn't you look for me when Nau had a seizure?”

Rafa feels less considerate of this woman that she is too independent and does not need a man by her side.

“My mom and I are used to nothing by themselves. Anyway, you're busy too.”

Alin opened the door. The figure of Naufal who was taking medicine was immediately visible to the eyes of Alin and Rafa.

“Wah. Om Rafa coming?” Nau exclaimed happily when he saw the handsome man visiting him.

“Hai, New. Howareyou? Sorry Om, yes. Just had time to visit today,” said Rafa then stroked Naufal's head carefully.

“I miss Om Rafa know not. Om rarely play now.” Naufal sulked with a pouting mouth. Making Alin and Rafa chuckle as she looks cute and adorable.

Rafa and Naufal have a conversation, while Alin looks for a doctor who is in charge of handling his son. He wanted to find out the results of his spinal cord examination whether it was suitable or not to be donated to the son.

“Nona? What are you sick with? Why didn't Kenzi call me?” doctor Adrian asked Alin.

Alin's eyes were rounded, as the doctor carried Kenzi's name.

“Doctors know me?” alin was confused.

“Yes, you cut off your veins, right? I helped you at that time. Ah, you passed out that time, so we haven't gotten acquainted. Does Kenzi know you're here?” ask Dr. Adrian.

Alin shook his head. “Do not let Kenzi know himself here.

“May I ask for help, don't tell Kenzi if I come to the hospital? You see, hmmm he was a bit .. lebay. Yeah, you know yourself, right?”

“Ah. Ahaha yes. That's right, he's a lot better when you get hurt at that time. To the extent that I was just sleeping, called many times and told to go to his grandmother's house immediately. Not only that, he also told that the wound on your hand should not be exposed. That guy's fucking. He loves to rule!”

Doctor Adrian keeps talking about Kenzi. Ali couldn't believe what he had just heard.

“Is Kenzi really that sweet?” thought.

“Yes already, I went back to my room first, Miss.” Adrian was saying goodbye after he brought out his tirade about Kenzi.

Alin immediately knocks on the door of Doctor Danuar's room, and someone inside allows him to enter.

Alin's feeling was really erratic when he saw the look on Doctor Danuar's face that looked bad.

“Dok. What about the result?” ask Alin to the points.

Doctor Danuar shook his head. “Sorry, Madam's spine does not match your son.”

Right now, Alin's heart feels like it has been stung by thousands of scorpions. Sick but not bleeding. Ali tried to hold back the tears that would come out.

“Mistress, don't hesitate. If you want to cry, just cry,” said Doctor Danuar who could not bear to see the expression of Alin's face that was so tormented.

**

After feeling calm, Alin returned to Naufal's room. He finally decided to examine Santi's spinal cord. Actually the doctor did not recommend because of Santi's old age, but he did not have another family.

Doctor Danu once mentioned Naufal's father. However, instead of being calm, Alin actually felt anxious if the Kenzi family knew about Naufal.

First, he was already branded as a traitor by Kenzi. So, if Naufal was introduced to Kenzi, not necessarily the man would admit Naufal as his son. Moreover, Naufal's face was more similar to Alin than Kenzi.

“Mami, why daydream?” naufal asked when he saw the figure of Alin who was only silent at the door.

Alin regained his senses and entered with a lethargic face. He tried to smile in front of his son, but it was hard.

“What's up, Alin?” ask Rafa.

Alin shook his head sadly, he invited Rafa out of the room.

“Nau, Mami and Om Rafa come out for a minute, yes.” Naufal nodded then smiled towards Rafa.

After coming out of the room Alin looked at Rafa's face sadly.

“Rafa, can I hug you?” Before Rafa replied, Alin's body had already advanced and hugged the man in front of him.

In Rafa's arms, Alin cried again. He was really fragile this time. He needs a backrest that can strengthen his heart and mental.
