CLEO & CASSANO (Love In Hospital)

CHAPTER 5

"Nayla, wait!" Nayla and Cleo stopped their steps when they saw Kiano walking towards them.

"What's wrong?" Nayla asked with her face down.

"Hows it? Do you agree with my offer?" tanyakanya. Nayla was speechless, she turned to Cleo who was standing beside her. Kiano also glanced at him.

"All right, I'll join." Nayla agrees.

"Good! I'm so glad you want to join." seeing Kiano smile, Nayla blushed in embarrassment. His glasses were also almost sagging.

"San, look at that!" Leony flailed his arm.

"What the hell, Lo? Sick tau!" he hit Leony back.

"Aawws!! Why did you hit me back?" his protest.

"Mis it yourself. I want to let you see that." Leony pointed his index finger at Nayla and Kiano.

"Gue didn't see wrong? What's Kiano doing with that little girl?" seeing Sandra approaching them, the two comrades followed her from behind.

"Kian, what are you doing here?" tanyakanya.

"I have the same business as Nayla" he replied.

"Gue didn't hear wrong? Since when have you been close to this little girl?" Sandra pointed at Nayla, but Cleo first grabbed her hand.

"So your attitude!" Cleo threw Sandra's hand away.

"Hero of bad luck is in action!" ledeknya, the two colleagues Sandra laughed widely.

"Sandra, what the hell are you doing? Why do you like to find trouble?" Kiano.

"Lo why be their belain?" Sandra did not accept Kiano scolding her.

"I don't trust anyone. But, I don't like to see you always being rude to others." Sandra, who did not want Kiano to get angry, took the two friends away.

"Are you okay, Nay?" ask him to Nayla.

"I'm fine!" answer Nayla.

"Kian!!" some of his friends were shouting at him from a distance. Kiano raised his right hand.

"Give me your number, I'll call you about activities or anything related to the osis." Kiano pulled out his phone, preparing to take down Nayla's number.

"But I don't have a cell phone." Nayla was honest. Cleo looked pityfully at her best friend.

"Wear this!" Cleo gave her phone to Nayla.

"Sir, Cle! I can't." Nayla refuses.

"Wear it first! You can keep my number, I'll let Nayla know if there's a message from you." 

"Yes!!" Kiano smiled, this is what he expected. He started recording Cleo's number on his cell phone.

"If so I go first! I'll let you know through Cleo" he said before leaving. Nayla smiled and nodded.

"Thank you, Cle!" she hugged Cleo.

"Save her thanks, we canteen yuk! I'm so hungry." Cleo rubbed her stomach.

"What, you don't have breakfast?" ask Nayla.

"Little doang." they walked towards the cafeteria. Other students are no stranger to seeing their togetherness. 

🍀🍀🍀

"Come, comein!"take Cleo when they get to her house. Nayla followed Cleo's steps into the mansion.

"Home home, Nope?" greet Bi Ita when she sees them on the stairs.

"Yes. Bi, please anterin a snack to my room!" her door, after saying so they rushed towards Cleo's room.

"Love your life, Cle! Want anything just order." said Nayla who had been lying on the pink bed.

"But I'm still lonely" he replied, exchanging clothes. "Do you want to change your clothes?" he offered her clothes for Nayla to use. Nayla walked towards the closet and her eyes were treated to very nice clothes. Unlike him who used to use T-shirts purchased in the regular market.

"Can I wear this?" Nayla picked up a black t-shirt and 7/8 jeans.

"Of course!" Cleo nodded. Nayla immediately changed her clothes with Cleo's.

"Non, here's the snack."Bi Ita put the snacks she brought on the study table. 

"Here, Nay!" hearing Cleo call out to him, Nayla immediately headed to the balcony. Bi Ita left them in that room.

"Cobain, here!" Cleo offered the juice and cookies that bi Ita had brought for them. Nayla took it and enjoyed it. As they were engrossed in the story, Cleo's phone rang. "Nay, Kiano!" Cleo gave the phone to Nayla. Nayla receives it and answers a call from Kiano.

"Hallo." answered Nayla.

"Hi, Cle!" sahut Kiano, because he thinks Cleo picked up the phone.

"Me, Nayla." Kiano was a little surprised, he thought Cleo was going to talk to him.

"O-oh hi, Nay!" Kiano covered his surprise. "Sorry, I was kirain Cleo."

"What's wrong! Oh yeah, what did you call?" ask Nayla.

"I want to tell you tomorrow we have an osis meeting" he said.

"All right, I'll come." replied Nayla.

"OK! I wait! Greetings to Cleo." Kiano ended their conversation. 

"Here, Cle!" Nayla returns Cleo's phone. "Udah afternoon, I go home first" he said.

"Why stay here, didn't you just say your mom was overtime?" Nayla remembers that she did say that her mother did not come home tonight.

"But I'm not good with your father." Nayla was a little hesitant.

"Not to think about. I won't care either." he replied.

"All right." Nayla agreed to stay there. They resumed the chat that had been delayed because there was a phone call from Kiano. From that chat, Nayla knew that Cleo and herself were not much different. They were both lonely, the difference was only in their status. This makes them more comfortable with one and the other.

🍀🍀🍀

"Your father didn't eat, Cle?" currently they are difficult to be at the dining table, because bi Ita has prepared dinner.

"Dad's home, Bi?" cleo asked bi Ita who was standing next to him.

"Not yet, Non, maybe soon." she replied.

"We go first, Nay!" they ate together, occasionally Nayla glanced at bi Ita who had been watching him since.

"Bi, let's go to the room first!" Cleo took Nayla back up to her room. Bi Ita simply nodded, and started tidying up the dining table again.

"Every day you're like that?" nayla asked as they were lying on Cleo's soft bed.

"Yes" he answered.

"Your father?"

"I'll tell you, the father was always busy with his work. Where does he have time for me." he said flatly. Nayla looked at him with pity.

"Don't look at me like that." Nayla was shocked to find out Cleo realized it.

"I know what it's like." replied Nayla.

"Did your mother work until morning?" ask Cleo.

"Just twice a week" he answered.

"If you are at home, it is better to stay here. So, I have a friend" Cleo said.

"OK." Nayla agrees. 

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot." Cleo stood up and walked towards her study table. He walked to where Nayla lay with a box in her hand. "It's for you." Cleo thrust the box at Nayla.

"What's this?" Nayla accepts.

"That's my old handpone. If you want you can take it." Nayla was surprised, she opened the phone box and saw a phone that was still like new.

"But this is good, Cle!" he said after checking the phone. "No, I don't want to!" Nayla returned the phone to him.

"It's okay. I have this." Cleo raised her phone. "From not wearing. So, if you have a cell phone we'll be easy to communicate." Cleo returned the phone to Nayla. Nayla looks hesitant, but Cleo forces. Finally he got the phone.

"Will your father not be angry?" tanyakanya.

"Will not." he answered. 

"Thank you, Cle!" Nayla was so happy, she hugged her best friend tightly.
