BETWEEN THE CEO AND MAFIA 2

Stay in the Hospital

"Hello, Daniel.... Just finished the walk, huh?" greet a nurse as Daniel passes through the hospital lobby.

"Yes, Sister Ana. Daniel ate in the park with Daddy."

"Oh, this is Daniel's daddy, huh?" ask Ana.

He was stunned by the good looks of Bayu who was behind the wheelchair.

Daniel answered with a nod.

"I'm sorry, Sister. I took Daniel to his room. Afraid that mom's mad."

"Ooh, yes, please sir."

Bayu put on a smile to make it look friendly. He wanted to get to Daniel's room again. He is lazy to talk to people. Since then, many hospital officials have greeted the child.

Daniel has been in the hospital for months. Almost all the staff at the hospital knew him. In addition to his kind and friendly son, his handsome face also makes many people who like him.

Daniel's face is easily recognizable. It is different from Indonesian children in general. His face is fluent, but very fluent in Indonesian. Its good looks are not inferior to the many children's selebgrams that appear on the internet.

Moreover, Daniel has handsome people who often accompany him. There's Irgi, Ayash, and Bayu. Nurses who got assignments in Daniel's room would feel very lucky their eyes could be spoiled with the beautiful view of their good looks.

"Say a moment, but a long time." grumbled Prita when Bayu and Daniel returned.

Bayu looked towards his watch, "There hasn't been an hour, at most thirty minutes long time."

"Daniel's been waiting for the nurse to be invited to the lab for an examination."

Two female nurses were there. They smiled at Bayu.

"Honey, you come with these brothers first yes to check."

Daniel nodded. He was no longer afraid because almost every day he did the same thing in the hospital. Drugs, syringes, therapy rooms, medical devices, everything Daniel has memorized. Although sometimes what the doctors do is painful, Daniel has understood that it is all to fight the evil disease in his body. Moreover, his papa mama always said that Daniel was a strong boy. So, he still tried to undergo treatment that he did not really like.

"Come on Daniel, you take him to the lab first, yeah. Excuse me, Mother.... " The nurse pushed Daniel's wheelchair out of the room past Prita and Bayu.

"How did Daniel progress with his chemotherapy? Is there a significant change?"

"The conditions are better now. He can have more energy to be angry every day, which means he's strong."

"Sit down first."

Prita invited Bayu to sit down. He served a cup of tea that he just made and a plate of cake in front of Bayu.

"Why do I look like a guest?"

"Who knows you're thirsty."

"It seems I'm more thirsty for affection than drink." seduced Bayu.

Prita rolled both her eyes, "Your flashing isn't funny."

"Really, isn't your generation joking around like this? I feel so old talking to you."

"It's old, isn't it."

"Keep to think I'm old, why is your way of speaking never polite to me. Should've called me 'sister' or 'gold'. Lower your tone as well."

"Well! 'sister' or 'gold' said he. It's more fitting for me to call 'om' or 'pak dhe'." muttered Prita.

"Say what was that?"

"No, I didn't say anything."

"Daniel said your husband never came here again, huh?"

Deg.

"I told you, he's still out of town."

"You're not having a problem, are you?"

"What problem, we don't have any problem." Prita keep on blessing.

"It was your in-laws to get angry like that. I'm not sure you're okay."

Prita forgot that Bayu was there when she saw Mama Maya scolding her. But fortunately Bayu was gone when Maya gave him a picture of Bayu kissing him.

"Every household has its own problems. You've never been married, so you won't understand."

Bayu feels being lectured by a small child. "Yes, you are more experienced" he said.

"So you're just looking after Daniel yourself?"

"More often so. Sometimes accompanied by Leta, my son's nanny."

"Then I'll stay here tonight."

Prita widened his eyes. What the hell does that guy want to stay in the hospital? It's already past its name.

"Why is your facial expression like that? You can leave if you don't like me staying here. You think I can't take care of Daniel myself? You think I'm just looking for an excuse to get close to you? Go there, I'm here for Daniel, too."

Prita chuckles. It was funny how he could read his mind. "You just go home. Taking care of Daniel isn't as easy as I thought. You'll get emotional if she starts fussing at night."

"We will see" said Bayu while sipping a cup of tea that Prita had made for him.

A few minutes later, Daniel was ushered back into his room. The nurse who drove him to steal a glance at Bayu.

"Thank you, Sister."

Prita's words shocked the nurse. He left the room immediately in shame. Actually Prita did it intentionally. If he didn't, maybe the nurse would keep looking at Bayu. This is not the first time that a nurse has seen such a behavior. When Ayash or Irgi is there, they do the same. It's like I've never met a good looking person.

Prita took water to cleanse Daniel's body. Not to forget he prepared a change of clothes that Daniel would wear.

Bayu watched Prita painstakingly cleanse his son's body. This was a new sight he saw. In his mind, Prita must have been very busy just taking care of Daniel himself. Bathing, dressing, feeding, to accompany when Daniel undergoes therapy.

The night is getting late. Bayu remained there despite several times Prita had tried to tell him to go home. He wants to stay tonight. He even contacted Alex to bring him a change of clothes and work clothes that he will wear tomorrow.

"I went down to the lobby to see my assistant."

"If you can go home" said Prita.

Bayu just chuckled at Prita's words. But he doesn't care either. He will stay tonight.

Arriving in the lobby, Alex had a paper bag containing the clothes he asked for.

"You've started working, haven't you?"

"Already, Boss. We've started contacting the people the boss wants."

"Goodoo. Finish as soon as possible."

"What about the Boss's son?"

"It's better. You just pray. I'm going back upstairs."

Bayu took the paperbag out of Alex's hand. He hurried back upstairs to Daniel's room.

Upon arrival in the room, Daniel seemed to have fallen asleep. Beside him was Prita who fell asleep. The patient's small bed was used to sleep together by them. Bayu so worried if Prita will fall because his sleep is very tight to the edge of the bed.

Slowly he lifted Prita's body from Daniel's bed. He was about to move her to the room so that Prita could rest more quietly. The room was next to Daniel's bed, limited only by a sliding door.

Bayu dumped Prita in the bedroom bed. His sleep looks so good. It was evident that he did not wake up when he moved. His face slightly displayed a tiredness. Anyone would be exhausted from caring for the sick. No exception Prita.
