CLEO & CASSANO (Love In Hospital)

CHAPTER 16

"Non, who was that guy?" ask bi Ita when they're back in the room.

"I don't know." she replied.

"Then, why can you act so rudely?" bi Ita was getting confused.

"He's a real bitch, Bi. I don't like it." she replied.

"What's wrong?" ask Adam who just got back. Cleo shook her head slowly at the nanny.

"It's okay, sir. Miss just doesn't like to linger here." replied bi Ita.

"You don't have to worry, tomorrow you can go home." Cleo was overjoyed to hear the news brought by her.

"Be careful, your legs haven't healed properly!" Adam reminded.

"Bi, I can go home tomorrow!" bibita.

"Thank God, Non!" the answer.

"Dad there's a little business in the office, bi Ita will stay here with you. Once your work is done, you'll be right here." Adam leaves after asking bi Ita to keep looking after Cleo.

"Auntie see that? Dad always put his job first." Cleo was back.

"That's it, Non, no need to think about it. Oh yeah, why haven't you seen Nayla?" ask bi Ita. Cleo fell silent, she did not know whether to be honest with him or not.

"I don't know, Bi. He might be busy." bi Ita could see something was wrong with them. "Bi, I'm sleepy!" Cleo knew that bi Ita was currently doubting her words.

"Here aunty help." bi Ita pressed the bed button. Cleo closed her eyes, she didn't want ita to ask Nayla much.

"Where are you going?" asked Aisyah who saw Nayla just coming out of her room.

"I'm going out first" he replied.

"What's wrong with you? Why have you kept confining yourself since you came home? What's going on?" ask Aisyah.

"Mother, I'm gone for a minute." she didn't answer a single question. Arriving in front of the alley, he immediately stopped the passing ojek.

"Giant Hospital, sir" he said. The motor drove towards the address he gave it.

"Are you okay?" Mutia had just hit it.

"Yes" he answered.

"What's really going on?" ask Mutia. It's natural that everyone is curious. Cleo gave the same reason.

"Where was the show yesterday?" Cleo switched the conversation.

"The way is done as soon as the ambulance takes you." she replied. "Are you sure this isn't Sandra's doing?" Cleo looked puzzled by Mutia's question.

"Sandra?"

"Yes, the other kids are pretty sure that Sandra did this to you" she replied.

"Why do they think that? It's not his fault." Cleo was correcting Mutia's words.

"Because someone saw Sandra with you." Mutia again explained what happened after Cleo was rushed to the hospital.

"That's not true. Sandra's the one who helped me." Cleo defended.

"Good! He didn't say anything. And it's lucky that the kids blame Sandra." Nayla who heard their conversation, immediately left from there.

"Isn't that Nayla?" bi Ita said when she saw him leave Cleo's room.

"I'll go back!" mutia said when she saw bi Ita enter.

"Why the hurry, Non?" tanyakanya.

"Yes, bi, I still have business" he replied.

"Cheal fast!" Mutia hugged him.

"Thank you for coming" Cleo replied. After saying goodbye to bi Ita, Mutiaun came out of there.

"New nayla from here huh, Non?" bi Ita gave Cleo the apple she had peeled.

"Nayla's? No!" Cleo chewed on the apple.

"Huh? A timing? Aunty saw him leave here." she said, Cleo stopped eating, she looked for reassurance in the eyes of bi Ita.

"Auntie sure?" tanyakanya.

"Yes, Non. Aunty time didn't know what Nayla was like." bi Ita took the fork in Cleo's hand, then gave her another piece of apple.

"But why didn't he go in to see the lady? Do you guys have a problem?" bi Ita looked into his eyes.

"N-no." Cleo put the apple back in her mouth.

"Lied!" bi Ita knew that her employer was lying right now. He had known Cleo for a long time. Ever since she was born, bi Ita had been taking care of her, so she knew what the character of her master was like.

"Maybe he's still a lot of work, Non" he replied.

"I wish Dad could always be with me. Or at least spend a little time on me." Cleo was sad again.

"Can I see the cctv footage where my daughter fell?" adam is currently with the school. He purposely asked them to meet even though it was Sunday.

"I'm sorry, sir, there's no cctv on the stairs." replied Mr. Kemal.

"What about the corridor around the stairs?" Adam insists on knowing what happened to his daughter. He was sure Cleo was covering something up. Forcing Cleo won't get any answers.

"There's a cctv that leads to the door to the roof" he replied.

"Can I see it?" mr. Kemal turned to the principal, and he nodded in agreement. Mr. Kemal as BP's teacher took Adam to his room. Arriving there, he checked the footage of the cctv heading for the roof. Kiano walked to the roof, and Cleo soon climbed there. Shortly after, they saw a student also open the door and head to the roof. It's been 15 minutes, but they haven't seen anything coming down.

"Do you know that student?" ask Adam.

"He's Kiano, the head of the school's osis, sir." replied Mr. Kemal.

It was not long before the students ran like frightened people. Cleo and Kiano were also not seen. 5 minutes after the schoolgirls left, they again saw 3 students open the door. And 2 more people came out while running and screaming for help. And shortly after they returned together with Mr. Kemal and other students. Then Adam saw Kemal holding Cleo in his hand.

"Who was the student who ran earlier?" ask Adam.

"Name's Nayla, she's Cleo's classmate." Adam remembers that Cleo once introduced Nayla to him.

"Can I meet him now?"

"But, what for, sir?" mr. Kemal is still confused.

"I think he knows something about the accident that happened to my daughter" he said.

"All right! I'll call him." Mr. Kemal looked for Nayla's number, but it's not active.

"How's it?" ask Adam.

"The number is inactive. I'll try to call his parents." Mr. Kemal called Aisyah's number.

"Hello!"

"Hello, good day, mother!" he said as Aisyah raised her call.

"Just who is this with?" ask Aisyah.

"I'm Kemal, Nayla's school teacher. Is Nayla home, Mom?" ask again.

"No. Nayla is out. Any sir? Is there a problem with my son?" tanyakanya.

"No, Mom! I just want to make sure of something. Then, tomorrow I'll just ask Nayla." then she disconnected the call.

"He's not home, sir. It's Sunday." he said. Adam took a heavy breath. "What if we meet him tomorrow? Or let us find out what really happened." Kemal gave him some advice.

"Tomorrow I have to get out of town. Then I leave this matter to the school." after saying that, Adam immediately left the school.

🍀🍀🍀

This morning, the school was back. Grade 3 students stay in to take care of various needs.

"Nayla, Cleo, you're called Mr. Kemal." Sandra looked at Nayla. They immediately stood up and walked together towards BP's room.

"Why did Mr Kemal call us?" ask Sandra. Nayla said nothing. When they went in there, they saw Kiano as well. Kemal invited them to sit down.

"I'm calling you to question Cleopatra's accident." Nayla's face was pale. Sandra who was sitting in front of him continued to pay attention to Nayla.

"Please explain to me, what are you doing on the roof?" tanyakanya. "Kiano?" Kiano was confused as to what to say.

"I asked Cleo to talk about something important, sir" she replied.

"What's that?" tanyakanya.

"It's a matter of the heart, sir." Kiano looked down embarrassed, Kemal who understood immediately turned the question to the others.

"You, Nayla? What are you doing there?" Sandra and Kiano turned to him.

"I didn't do anything, sir. W-that time I just wanted to get some fresh air, so I went to the roof." Nayla's lying.

"But why are you running like that?" I've seen the cctv footage." he explained.

"S-I have a stomachache, sir." Nayla lies again, Sandra knows Nayla is lying.

"You sure?"

"Why do you suspect me? I should have asked Sandra. He's the one with Cleo." Sandra stared at him.

"Lo...?!"
