Tia was still busy with all her thoughts. Unbeknownst to him, Kayra clearly heard his heart.
Kayra smiled. Kayra's first smile was because of a friend who cared about her.
"Hallow.. hey.... You want to take these flowers, right?" Said the guy alay making Kayra's ears hot.
She doesn't accept being named Alex's girl. The status is married. The words of the alay man instantly made his anger explode.
"Take off. I don't want to accept any of Alex's gifts. And don't even mention me as Alex's girl. I already have a guy. Tell Alex not to say anything to me!" Kayra said firmly.
"Oh cin.. love clapping this hand is his name..." Said the guy alay in his witty style. He went away with excitement, because he could get gossip material to be broadcast to all campus residents.
Kayra and Tia shook their heads in annoyance.
"There's a guy like that?" Tia really didn't think it out.
"Kay... Do you have a boyfriend?" Tia asked suddenly.
"Nothing. I said that so Alex wouldn't make a weird show like that. I swear I don't like Alex." Kayra keceplosan.
"Do you like Alex? The best guy on campus. He looks good too and his people are also very nice I see." Said Tia proud of Alex. He did not believe Kayra's words. Or maybe there's a dark past between Kayra and Alex?
Tia's inner voice was very disturbing to Kayra. But he cannot explain the real problem. Moreover, that was just Kayra's feeling there was no real evidence.
"Kay... Why are you eating so much? Are you sick or have a problem?" Tia asked attentively.
"I'm not papa, just lazy." Kayra finished her apple juice. He remembered his problem with Dariel. How is Dariel doing now? Has he recovered? His heart ached in light of Dariel's circumstances. With her own hands she had wounded her own husband. Thank God Dariel is still being helped. What if Dariel dies in his hand?
Kayra's tears came from the corner of her eye. The pain was crushing his heart. Makes him feel unbearable distress. He wanted to run to meet Dariel, asking about his current state. Until it cannot be prevented the stuffing is increasingly becoming.
Tia saw Kayra crying until sobbing became more and more worried.
"Kay... What's wrong? What happened to you?" Tia asked curiously. He felt sorry for Kayra's terrible situation.
Kayra stopped her crying. When he realized that they were currently in a crowded campus cafeteria. Kayra wiped her tears. He began to control himself. There can be no crying.
In the corner of the canteen bench a pair of eagle eyes watched Kayra closely.
"The girl is full of mysteries, worthy of being pursued and conquered." Think Alex. He also smiled. "Nothing in my history can a girl just reject me. Just look at Kayra Mahendra. You must have fallen into my seduction." A mysterious grin adorned Alex's face.

The Melati Hospital. Two doctors walked in on entering the meeting room. The two men are cardiology specialists and internists. They got a sudden call to meet the Director and the owner of the hospital.
The two specialists felt bad because Erlangga had been waiting in the meeting room. "Good day, sorry sir we're late." Said one of the men opening the conversation. A moment after they sat on the chair opposite Erlangga.
"Yes.I call you all of a sudden to this place to discuss something." Erlangga said with an urgent tone.
"You guys led my son's operation last night, didn't you?" Erlangga deliberately paused his question waiting for the response of the two specialists sitting in front of him.
"I.iya sir, I am the one who is leading the patient operation on behalf of Dariel Erlangga. Sorry sir is there a problem?"
Ask a cardiology specialist. Erlangga answered their questions, only with a headband.
"I call you to ask for a scientific explanation." Erlangga said increasingly making the two doctors throw each other's eyes.
"How did your observations reveal my son's wounds? What was the cause of my son's injury?" Erlangga asked curiously. After this morning the forensic team investigated the explosion. They found no gunpowder or other explosives. Make the forensic team confused.
Initial results of the investigation showed the explosion was due to a fairly strong kinetic energy. The explosion occurred from inside the room. It could be said that an object or considerable energy was the source of damage to the room room and that had injured Dariel. But strangely enough, Kayra who was near Dariel was not injured at all.
It felt strange to Erlangga. At once, both Dariel and Kayra were resting in the bedroom. Until there was a commotion from the room. Also the sound of a loud explosion came from their room.
Another strange thing happened to baby Mirachel. Shortly before the explosion, he cried. Making the whole house surprised. Baby M seems to be the warning alarm before the explosion?
Thinking about many things makes Erlangga increasingly inexhaustible.
"Our preoperative observation results, the injuries of the father's son. more like injuries due to sharp weapons. A pretty sharp scalpel. The incisions in each wound were very neat. Also it looks like there is a blunt weapon used to hit the chest and head" the internist doctor explained.
Cardiofascular specialists asked for the opportunity to convey the results of his observations as well.
"When viewed from the blood clots that occur in the brain and in the lungs, it indicates the effect of a fairly hard blow." He said a little bit of a doubt. "Also no explosive residue or explosive material was found at the wound site."
Erlangga tried to digest information from two doctors of his faith. If it is true that his son became a victim of persecution. Who did?
Checking the cctv footage there was no activity of people going in and out of Dariel's room. The only current one he should be suspicious of was Kayra. Because Kayra was with Dariel when the incident happened. Also Kayra left without saying goodbye to him. It's more like an act of escape.
Erlangga drifted into deeper thoughts. One side of his consideration he was very unsure if Kayra was the culprit. It was highly unlikely that a meek girl like Kayra could commit a crime of this magnitude.
Also, Erlangga knew how much Kayra loved her son. He doesn't doubt it.
Then who is the real criminal? He also checked the cctv footage both inside the house and outside the house. No suspicious activity was recorded.
If only there were no one else in the meeting room at the moment, Erlangga would have cried out loudly. He was eager to let go of his thoughts.
"Tock..tok...tokk"
The sound of a long knock, there seemed to be something urgent. Because no one usually dares to interrupt closed-door meetings like this.
Erlangga opened the door lock of the meeting room with a remote control. The meeting room they currently use is not an ordinary meeting room.
Meeting rooms are designed with high-level security standard parameters. The sixty-square-meter room was lined with bulletproof glass. The roof and walls are fireproof. Room locking system, room lighting is also air conditioning controlled by a remote control.
And actually the room is located underground. A special room that also functioned as a shelter.
But with digital sophistication, one of the walls is transformed into a Lighting emiting Diode panel. Where the display screen can be arranged in such a way as to give a look that looks very real. Like the current meeting, it felt like being upstairs with a view of a transparent glass wall. Showing the buildings, as well as the typical fluorescent light of a dense capital city.
Even the two doctors did not realize that everything they saw was an illusion of technological sophistication.
Erlangga looked a little riled up as he finally pressed also one of the remote buttons in his hand. Instantly the door opened. Dio stood at the door.
"What's wrong?" Erlangga asked impatiently.
"Young master is conscious." Answer Dio to the point.
"really?" Tanya Erlangga did not believe in her hearing. Shouldn't Dariel still be under dope? Because the wound and also the scars of the operation have not recovered, so it will be very painful if he is left in a conscious condition.
"Why can?" Tanya Erlangga while standing up followed by the two specialists. They rushed to the elevator to see Dariel's condition.
"Young master Dariel refused when he would be given a tranquilizer also did not want to be injected anti-pain. He only asked to meet with Mr. Erlangga immediately." Answer Dio.
"How does it go?" Erlangga started to panic. He could not imagine how Dariel could endure the pain. He looked at the two doctors who followed him. Erlangga's gaze was so piercing as to throw accusations.
One of the doctors defended himself. "We have made sure to give regular doses through the infusion of Mr. Dariel. Mr. Dariel should have only regained consciousness after three days according to medical calculations. So now Mr. Dariel is aware it's beyond our capacity."
"Who's guarding Dariel now?" Tanya Erlangga.
"Sorry sir. The doctors and nurses who were treating were chased out by Mr. Dariel. They did not dare to refuse him because seeing that it seemed like Mr. Dariel was fine, showing no pain. That's why I ventured to interrupt your meeting. I'm sorry." Dio said with regret.
Erlangga. Their journey to the ICU was long. Erlangga could not hide his worry for Dariel. Making the middle-aged man speed up his pace.
In front of the ICU room there is a doctor and three nurses watching the patient from behind the glass. They did not dare to make a decision before there was approval from Erlangga as the parents and owners of the hospital.
Upon seeing the arrival of Erlangga they immediately gave way. Erlangga immediately entered and found Dariel smiling sweetly in front of him.
Dariel's smile was seen in his eyes like a mockery.
"Papa. Dariel is fine. I'm serious." Dariel said as he read his papa's mind.
"Pa." Dariel said with a serious look. The eyes are demanding and do not want to be denied. Erlangga recognized the look in those eyes. Yes look at the eyes inherited from his wife Jasmin. Highlight those eyes that made him bend his knees and unable to resist. And always ends with Erlangga's decision to obey his wife's will.
Actually it is not a threat full of intimidation eyes. But the quiet eyes that calm, give a deep impression as if to say "believe me I'm fine". Making Erlangga instantly will also comply.
"Okay, okay. Papa will listen to you, son. Just say it." Erlangga said. Even though his mind was currently in a state of turmoil. His heart was full of anxiety. How is Dariel really? Is he really okay? Or is it even the opposite? Dariel is dying and at the end of his despair?
Erlangga's heart was racing faster. At a glance, were these Dariel's farewell words? Erlangga's eyes glazed over. Erlangga with all his might held back the pain that suddenly sliced through his heart.
Dariel's right hand touched his papa's fingers.
"Pa. don't be sad. Dariel doesn't want to die yet. Dariel still wants to love papa twelve grandchildren." Dariel said trying to be funny. Makes Erlangga spontaneously pat Dariel's shoulder in a fit of anxiety.
"Oh. forgive papa. Does it hurt?" Tanya Erlangga was worried. He spontaneously hit his son's shoulder because Dariel managed to make him out of control.
"Please calm pa... Dariel is strong." Dariel said to calm his papa.
"Pa... Take me home now!" Dariel said slowly. Despite this, Dariel's words made Erlangga very anxious.
"Pa. I'll just be treated at home." Dariel said seriously.
"Riel. This is all for your good. Wait a few more days after you recover enough. New outpatient." Erlangga said firmly. It is currently impossible to bring Dariel home. It takes at least two or three days to prepare all ICU room equipment at home.
Dariel seemed to think hard. It is impossible to stay in the hospital for long. He was afraid that many people would know his secret. Maybe this is the only way. He is forced to involve his papa in the mystical secrets of his life.
"Today Dariel will tell you a secret. Do you want to believe in Dariel?" Dariel asked a little doubtfully.
Dariel's question sounded strange in Erlangga's ear. Wouldn't it be that if someone was willing to unlock the secret that is certain is whether the listener can be trusted to hold the secret? It is not the other way around asking the listener to believe it.
Erlangga. He pulled a chair near Dariel's bed. Erlangga clasped his youngest child's hand tightly.
Today, like many years ago. Dariel first entered school. It is class 1SD. A dilemma that Erlangga felt. He was never as protective of Raka's eldest son.
Dariel is very different. Dariel does not allow PAUD schools in schools. Erlangga requires Dariel homeschooling. The reason at that time was because it could not bear to let Dariel away from the supervision considering Dariel was still a child.
However, Erlangga's possessiveness towards Dariel is increasing. Even when Dariel was old enough to enter Primary school, again Erlangga tried to keep him in school at home.
Dariel in the eyes of Erlangga was a weak child. The child who always reminds of the figure of Jasmine the wife he loved so much.
