ALVIN Trying to Rise

Canniness

...Happy Reading ...

......................

Alvin arrived at the hospital where his mother was being treated, he immediately ran inside as soon as he got out of the car. Until there he met the doctor who had been handling Ganis, because the doctor had also contacted him a while ago.

"So, what's really going on?" alvin asked, as soon as he sat down in front of the woman's doctor.

"Look, Vin .. were two well-built men, came and asked your mother's name at the reception. But, because of your request last time, we didn't tell them that your mother was indeed admitted to this hospital" the doctor explained.

Alvin had asked the doctor and the hospital, not to tell anyone about the whereabouts of his mother in this hospital, if unbeknownst to him.

"Can you help me see the CCTV here, Doc? I want to know what his face is" asked Alvin, he just wanted to make sure they were Mr. Mardo's men or not.

"That might be a little difficult, Vin. But I will try to do it" replied the doctor.

Alvin was silent for a while, he really had to know the faces of the two people, so that he could be more vigilant again. However, it seems that it is not easy, he had to meet the hospital manager to beg to be allowed to see the results of CCTV cameras.

"Your reason for seeing the CCTV footage is not yet qualified, son." The middle-aged man who had the position of manager of the hospital seemed to still insist on rejecting the request of Alvin and the woman's doctor, although Alvin had been asking for permission from him.

Alvin seemed silent for a moment, like he was thinking about something. He then took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, before saying something.

"Sorry, Sir. May I ask, what was the CCTV there for?" alvin asked, with a look of a calmer face.

The man in the hospital's manager status seemed silent, maybe he was surprised by Alvin's change in speech, as well as the woman's doctor.

Alvin's attitude that previously looked weak and more pleading, now even looks firm and authoritative than usual. Among hospital workers Alvin is known as a quiet child, although still friendly. Alvin will only talk as necessary to others, although when with his mother they see Alvin is more talkative.

"A–what, you mean?" asked the middle-aged man in a voice that sounded forced to be ordinary.

"I'm just asking, sir. What is the function of CCTV installed in this hospital?" alvin asked back with his innocent expression.

He only remembered about how to get CCTV footage at Naura's school, with guidance from Ezra of course. Trying to apply it again in order to get CCTV footage for the sake of her mother. Maybe that's not wrong, is it?

"U–to prevent any crime and get evidence if it has already happened" the hospital manager replied. While the female doctor was only silent while paying attention to the interaction of Alvin and the hospital manager.

"Isn't it my reason to prevent criminal acts? I have explained that for several days, I was being followed by someone who had gang-raped me to the hospital, he said, and I just want to keep watch and make sure that the person who asked me about my mother at the reception that afternoon wasn't part of them, sir."

"Try, Father, imagine if the criminal incident had occurred in this hospital, and it was because of you, did not want to show the tape to people who had suspected something like me. What the father and the hospital can be responsible to the victim in addition to showing CCTV footage that previously could serve as a preventive tool, he said, and now it's a tool of evidence because there's already someone who has the status of a victim."

"Oh, and think also, if until all that happens, then it's widespread. Will it not be bad for this hospital?" Alvin spoke at length, breaking the woman's doctor's judgment on Alvin before. He who initially wanted to help Alvin talk, now could only be silent.

"Sir, this hospital has done a lot for me. So I am very grateful to this hospital, which has been taking care of my mother all this time. That's why I would be very sad if something happened to this hospital, what else if my problem is the reason," continued Alvin again with a face expression that changed.

The hospital manager was silent for a while without turning his gaze to Alvin, it seemed like he was too shocked by what Alvin said. Until finally in the throats a few times to start talking.

"Geez, I didn't expect you to be able to speak at length like this to urge me. Though I heard from the nurses, you are a polite and quiet child," the manager said with a surprised look.

This is all to ensure my mother's safety, sir. For my mother I will try hard in any way, inner Alvin.

"Sir, wouldn't you rather allow Nak Alvin to view the CCTV footage? Are you not bothered by his existence now? If you allow him all this mess won't happen." The woman's doctor supports Alvin in persuading the hospital manager.

"Gosh, these two of you are really making my head woozy! Why is it just a matter of CCTV, to keep me stuck in the room until this afternoon, without doing my own work?!" annoyed the manager while taking off one of his top shirt buttons, as if he felt suffocated by his own clothes.

"Then let me see it, then I will be very grateful to you, Father, and will not interfere with your life again." Alvin looks chimed in.

The manager of the hospital was silent as he stroked his temple, which may have been throbbing as a result of Alvin and the woman's doctor.

"Yes-yes, okay .. You can see the CCTV footage. Are you satisfied now?" upset the hospital manager with a face holding back emotions.

"Sure, sir, I'm very satisfied. Thank you, sir, thank you!" Alvin immediately shook the hospital manager's hand, with a clean face, his lips pulled upwards until his part of the tooth was visible, like a child who had just gotten the toy he craved.

"Yes, that's over. I could break my hand if you were like that. Sana, you leave my room now and don't bother me anymore" said the hospital manager, shaking his hand, which Alvin shook with a fair amount of clinging to the manager's frustration.

"Eh, I'm sorry, sir, I'm too happy" said Alvin, but when he saw the look on the face of the middle-aged man in front of him who just nodded his head while shaking his hand, as if telling him to leave, Alvin spoke again.

"Okay, sir, I'm leaving now. Once again thank you, may the long life of the Father and always be blessed, Amiin! Assalamualaikum, sir," said Alvin before finally passing from the manager's room with a happy face.

While the woman's doctor looks shook her head to see the attitude of Alvin who just this time he saw. All this time he only saw the attitude of Alvin who was serious and quiet, only now he saw Alvin with a carefree attitude like children mixed with adults when talking to the manager.

"That child .. I've known him since he was a teenager and now he's an adult. I did not expect that she also had such a childish attitude," said the female doctor as she stared at the closed door again.

"If I don't remember the boy's struggle to support his mother, I'll never give him permission to look at the CCTV footage" said the manager, who was met with a smile by the woman's doctor.

"Thank you, sir. That must have helped her a lot." The female doctor was seen turning her gaze at the manager while nodding faintly.

"Ish, it seems like all the medics at this hospital are already hypnotized with the child," the hospital manager decak did not want to show concern.

The female doctor no longer responded, she walked out of the room after saying goodbye. The manager of the hospital was famous for being firm and stubborn enough that many of the employees were lazy to deal with him. However, actually he also has a good side, it is proven by him to allow Alvin to see CCTV footage, even though he had to pass the long drama first.

In the afternoon, Alvin finally saw the results of CCTV footage in the hospital, to see the faces of the two men. Sure enough, it turned out that it was one of Mr. Mardo's men, Alvin still remembered the faces of the two when they met at the former factory the other day.

"What is this, that Mr. Ezra meant last week? But, why didn't he just say it straight away?" alvin asked with his frowned, although in fact it was intended for his own curiosity.
