Amaras
I got off Alby's car with a little relief and was upset too. Relieved because I finally knew I had a chance to have a relationship with him. That means I'm not clapping my hands anymore. Alhamdullah....
But I'm upset too. He didn't understand what I was asking! What kind of relationship do we continue? Are we dating or what...?
"For Miss Amara!", said Nada who was already standing beside me who was already in front of the elevator.
"For Tone!", I smiled.
"Something seems to be happy!", said Nada. I smiled a little.
"Know!", I said.
"What is the charm of the CEO jutek that has made the lady smile like this?",ledek Nada.
"Don't make me tone!", I said again. Tone of small chuckles.
"I saw you Miss!", said Nada after we were together in the elevator.
"What look?", I knit my eyebrows.
"In the car was heheheh.ngga on purpose!", he said with a smile.
"Tone!", I glared but instead Nada laughed softly. Her new hobby is hurting me now!
We reached the floor of my room. But it turns out in front of my room was waiting for the figure of a bule that was leaning near the door of my room.
Me and Nada were quite surprised to see her presence there.
"Who let him in here?", I asked Nada.
"Do not know Miss!", said Nada.
Nada asked permission to her room. I walked over to Frans, who was smiling sweetly at me. I admit, he is handsome typical bulenya. In addition, his minus glasses support that he is a smart and authoritative figure.
"Why are you here? Who let you in let alone this is my room!?", I asked.
He opened the door of my room before I opened it without answering my question.
I ignored him, immediately sitting on my big chair. He sat down at the table and crossed his legs facing me.
"I'm also an investor in Rhd.co. Papi also lets me visit this company at any time. If I wanted to, I could work here too. Unfortunately I already took a job in East Sentra, and of course in the hospital!"
"Why don't I know if you're an investor in my company?", I asked with a little surprise.
"Darling, you know I can do anything! You know that?", he rubbed my cheek. But I brushed him off.
"I want to work, can you get out of here? I don't want him to bother!"
He turned my chair around until faced with her. I was quite surprised but I didn't show my surprise to him.
"Mara! Listen to me! I'll do anything to get you back to me!", though slowly but her voice was full of emphasis.
"I no longer have any feelings. So please, don't expect me anymore!"
Frans chuckled softly. He patted me on the cheek slowly.
"I won't give up until I get what I want, including you Mara."
"You lied to me Frans! I also forgot that I fell in love with you! So please.don't bother me anymore!"
"I lied about my status at the time! But as for my feelings, I'm not lying! And yes, I was married to my late wife. But I never loved him!"
"Yes, because you and your free life are used to it!"
Frans looked at me so sharply. He grabbed my chin so I could look at him.
"I am indeed big and live in a free country but do not equal me with those who are accustomed to frees**! I'm not that believer! The wife you told me she was my sister's lover and my sister's future wife who died."
I threw my eyes the other way.
"I married her because I felt I had to take responsibility for my sister. You can think or say in my country even having a child out of wedlock is common! But me, I'm still following my Mommy's eastern customs! I'm not that bad!"
I held my breath from earlier.
"And you, you're the first girl I've ever touched!" she said.
"We never did anything Frans. So don't say anything that doesn't cause speculation!", I pointed at her face with my index finger. Bad habits indeed! He lowered my fingers with his hands.
"Because I love you Amara! If by saying such a thing, your parents approve of our relationship I will do it Amara. Maybe not even just with words, but I'll make it happen!"
My hunting breath held the explosive emotions inside my chest. What is she assuming I am???
"Enough Frans! I don't want to hear anything anymore! Let's just say we never knew each other and about your proposal yesterday, I won't accept it!"
Frans sneered at me.
"So you refused me Amara?", he asked pulling my chin again. When I tepis, he gripped my chin even tighter.
"Frans!!", my voice was held back by her grip on my chin.
"What if I sacrifice them?", he asked.
"What do you mean?", my eyes widened.
He tucked his shoulder. Then smile creepily.
My phone's ringing. There's a call from the house number. Frans got out of my sight. He folded both his hands on his chest.
[Hallo?]
[....]
[....]
[I'm going there!]
I hung up my phone and got up from my chair. Frans was smiling.
"How's Mara? Starting today?", Frans smiled.
I stopped my steps.
"What do you mean?", I asked in wonder. Did he know something happened to my papi?
He walked up to me, stood behind me and hugged me. I tried to let go of her embrace, but I couldn't. He is whispering.
"This is your new papi, baby! Maybe soon your mama!", she whispered while kissing my neck which was blocked by the hijab I tied around the neck. But I don't seem to care that I'm focused on what he said.
"What do you say Frans?", I said.
She smiled beside my cheek even as her embrace grew tighter.
"Go back to me, and your papi and mami will be fine!", he whispered. I widen my eyes. As much as possible I let go of his embrace. He's like a psychopath when he smiles like that.
"What did you do to my Papi?", I turned the body pushing her body. He justifies his suit.
"A little bit, but it would slowly paralyze his already aging nerves!", he pressed his shoulders.
I looked at him sharply.
"What are you doing Frans!", I grabbed her by the collar. He chuckled and let go of my hand that was in his collar, held tightly.
"A little little Mara game. But if I still don't get you back, maybe I'll do the same to your mom!"
"Frans!", I snapped at him. But he covered my lips with his finger.
"I'm a Mara doctor, but I'm not a good person. I will indeed help anyone indiscriminately, but I also have a bad side when I cannot achieve what I want!"
"You're abusing your abilities!", I stared intently at him. He's nodding.
"I don't blame Mara's code of medical ethics. Just chill! Because I didn't do it with my own hands!"
"Frans!", I snapped at him again even with tears suddenly dripping from being too emotional. Or maybe it's because I'm afraid something's happened to my papi because of my mistake.
Frans rubbed my cheek with his finger. Then he smiled.
"Marry me Mara, your papi will be fine!"
I brushed off his hand, then I walked out of my room. If anything happens to my papi, I won't forgive myself.

A few moments before....
"Sister, you know what Alby did to your sister, right?" asked Daniel.
"Mommy, they did nothing else as you thought!", Daniel answered while eating his breakfast.
"But my mom heard for herself that you were talking about responsibility!"
Daniel took his breath.
''Mi, Mara is an adult. He knows what is good and what is bad. Don't accuse Mara of the no-no. Cassian she's Mi!"
Mami just grunted quietly. Yes, mami Kirana is indeed a gentle woman maybe she can not even get angry with yelling.
"Daniel set off Mi!", Daniel kissed his mother's cheek.
After Daniel died, my mother accompanied the papi who sat near the pool while reading the newspaper. The habit after breakfast is like that.
"Mami!", said Papi when he realized the wife beside him.
"Pi, are we being too hard for Mara?"
"What the hell is Mi? As parents, we want the best for our children!"
Mami was silent and then looked at the plate containing traditional food on the table.
"When did you buy this?"
"Auntie was to the market. Papi asked to buyin!", replied papi.
"Yes, go to Pi's room!"
"Yes, Mi."
Papi continued reading his newspaper while eating the traditional food. Some of the food he had swallowed and looked fine-fine. But the next hour she felt a numbness in her body. Even his heart was beating faster. Suddenly, his body collapsed and fell.
Bibik who passed his master lying on the floor also shouted to mami.
They took Papi to the hospital. She contacted Mara, Daniel and Nathan.
