BETWEEN THE CEO AND MAFIA 2

Viewpoint of Daniel

Andin walked down the hallway of his own lonely hospital. The tears that flowed down her cheeks never stopped. Today he felt very sad and happy.

Yes, there was still happiness he felt. She was relieved, but Arga was fine. He thought that the man left him because of something like he had a severe illness that caused him to be forced to leave.

But he also felt sad. He was sad because all this time he did not know the man he loved. Arga in his eyes was a good man, not a jerk who often slept with other women, even to the point of impregnating a woman.

"Why are you, Ndin?" ask Ayash who just came out of Daniel's room.

He was shocked to see Andin walking like an undead with blank eyes and tearful eyes. Even his existence was barely realized by him.

"Anden.... " Ayash shook the woman's hand to wake up.

Without answering the question, Andin immediately wrapped his arms around her. His face was fixed on Ayash's chest and his crying voice rose again. Andin was speechless. All of his words were represented through tears.

There's nothing Ayash can do but return the hug you gave. His friend was indeed lately often look moody.there must be something that has happened until Andin to cry. It can't be just a trivial reason. He'll wait until Andin says it.

From behind the window, there was Daniel watching the two. Perhaps, for the people Daniel looks like a child in general who will not understand about adult problems. But Daniel is different. He was a very sensitive boy around him.

Without being told, Daniel knew that his mother and father were divorced. My mom and dad can't be together anymore. They're already with someone else. His father married Aunt Andin. Her mother is dating Daddy Bayu. Daniel was silent, but he knew.

Daniel once saw his mother kissing Daddy Bayu. At first it was strange for him. Mama should have kissed her papa, not anyone else. There was a sense of disappointment in the heart seeing that reality.

This time the same. Somehow he felt sad and disappointed to see his papa cuddling with Aunt Andin. She just wanted to see her mom hug her.

But, how can adults understand the feelings of small children. He wants his mom to stay together like she used to. Stay together in one house, vacation and travel together, transfer to school, and play together.

Now it's all just memories. Daniel will no longer feel the warmth he once did. In the end, he will have to choose whether to stay with his mother or stay with his father. And they will live together with their new partners.

If you want, Daniel can cry begging his mom and dad to be better again. But he knows it's selfish. Her mother seemed happier after separating from her. Mama so often smile and laugh especially if there is Daddy Bayu with her. Unlike the past, her mother often cried because Oma likes to be angry. Oma never bothered her mother again.

If her mother came back to her father, maybe she would cry again like before. Daniel didn't want his mother to be sad. She's a great mom, always looking after Daniel patiently. He never gets angry. Especially as long as Daniel was sick, his mother always accompanied him.

So, Daniel will just harbour his wish. He just hopes his mommy is equally happy with the path they take.

*****

Ayash takes Andin to the rooftop located at the top of the hospital building. The goal is that Andin can be more calm there.

The two smoked cigarettes together while leaning against the iron fence on the edge of the building. The atmosphere there was certainly quiet, there was no one else but them. From above, you can see the entire hospital area including the field, park, and parking area.

The wind is pretty strong. Making the hair that has been neatly arranged into a mess. But do not discourage them to stay standing upright there.

As soon as a sip of cigarettes they enjoy. Somehow the nicotine content contained in it can make the mind a little more relaxed.

Andin wanted to laugh at himself. She could cry so much in front of Ayash again. That's really embarrassing. The image of her as a tough woman seemed to be lost to the earth.

"So what happened?" Ayash smoked his cigarette slowly, enjoying the smoke coming out of his trunk. Then he let out the smoke through his mouth.

"Oh.... "

Ayash's response seemed to indicate that he did not feel surprised. Not because he already knew, but indeed he no longer cared about what his brother would do.

"He already has a child."

This time, Andin's words were able to provoke his attention.

"She's a girl, she's about eight." Andin was sipping his cigarette faster. As if to make the cigarette as an outlet of his anger. He did not want to cry anymore, he better turn his sadness to enjoy every mouthful of cigarettes.

"I've just been invited to meet the woman who is the mother of her child. He's his former private secretary. He said he had a brain tumor and had been in a coma for two months."

"Then, what about you now?"

Andin sighed, "Huh! What can I do? It's all happening too."

"I mean, do you want to go back to her?"

Andin again took a sip of his cigarette, "Where could I possibly be. That woman deserves your brother's attention. Moreover, he already had a child.

"You still love my brother?"

"Haha.... Why are you asking that stupid question."

"Of course I still love that bastard. I'm a fool." murmured Andin.

"But you don't worry, I we'll keep getting divorced according to the agreement."

Andin did say he would end their pretend marriage after finding Arga. Now, Arga has been found. He can solve his own problems with Arga. He doesn't want to put more weight on Ayash's life. He also had his own problems to deal with, not just to take care of them.

"Thank you for all your kindness" Andin said.

"You don't have to say that. I told you, you can wear me as long as you want."

"Yes, I'm happy to use you. It's time you also take care of your own problems. I don't want to be third among you anymore."

"You think my relationship with Prita can still be repaired?"

"At least try it first. The result's a problem later."

Ayash. It seems that he is no longer able to return to Prita.

"The man named Bayu is a great rival. He has made Prita feel indebted to him. But at least you were his first love. I'm sure Prita would also find it hard to ignore you."

"As a friend, I can only encourage you."
