In the back hall of the cobra building.
Syakila sat pensively, her eyes still glazed, her hands holding and stroking the necklace perched on her neck. The gift necklace from Sardin when they were little, when the two of them were about to part.
Recollecting Nesa's request for her help to persuade Sardin to marry another woman. Can he do that? Will Syakila really help Nesa persuade Sardin to marry her?
He sighed, closed his eyes, ”Sardin!” lirih.
His current thoughts were centered only on Sardin, not the slightest thought of Geo, Geo's feelings and Geo's anger while at Rivaldi's home clinic.
”Why did my aunt beg me to persuade Sardin to marry another woman? What aunt intentionally?”
”It would be better if I didn't hear that word!! How could the hand of Sardin that I held, I held, with my own hand give Sardin's hand to another woman's hand to hold it tightly?”
”I can't give Sardin to another woman! I can't.hu.hu...Sardin..” murmured softly, crying.
He looked up at the night sky, not a single star was present adorning the sky, like his now lonely heart.
.. ..
In the cobra parking lot.
Ijan still faithfully sat waiting for Syakila in the car. He did not dare to leave his mistress alone inside the building.
While inside the building, Syakila's security is maintained, but, what if Syakila gets out of the building? Who will guarantee the safety of this woman? Even though he knew Syakila had martial arts, it still worried him.
Moreover, the safety of Syakila is his responsibility now, if anything happens to him, he will bear the consequences of Geo.
Drrrrrt! The ringtone sound of his phone reads. He looked at the screen in writing ”The big master called.” he picked up the phone.
”Halo, Sir!” her greeting.
”Why did you long return? You don't want to work anymore? Then take your last paycheck!!” geo said, the tone of the man's voice sounded unfriendly at all.
Is it because the master is still angry at Lady Syakila? Why take it out on me? Think Ijan.
”Sorry, Sir! I'm still in the cobra building. Mrs Syakila has not returned home. After the Madam came home, I just returned to Mister!” saith.
”What?!” geo was surprised. He did not expect that Syakila would not return home. She knew that Syakila's feelings might be sad now, so she was alone in the cobra building. He broke the connection.
Ijan sighed, looking at the phone connection screen with his master suddenly disconnected. Was his master angry at him? Because he's dropping off his mistress at the cobra building not at home! Her thought.
.. ...
The Rivaldi residence.
Rivaldi looked at Geo without making a sound. He was afraid of the aura spreading in his room, a terrifying cold aura emanating from Geo.
What happened to Geo? Rivaldi only asked in his mind. He continued to look at the man who was still staring at the phone screen in his hand.
Geo looked for Syakila's phone number, he called the number. Connection connected.
”Halo, who is this?” the voice of Syakila raspy, after crying.
Geo fell silent, Did he cry? What's he thinking? Is it because I scolded him? his mind.
”What's with your voice?” ketus tanyanya. He did not want to be merciful to Syakila at this time.
Syakila fell silent, This is Geo's voice! How does he know my number? I never gave her my number! his mind.
”Em, i... my voice...ukhuk... ukhuk. I.. I'm fine.” he replied lying.
”Where are you? Why hasn't Ijan come back here?” geo asked, he knew the woman was lying to him.
”Ehm.aku..I'm at home. Ijans...I.I held him down earlier. I'll get him there now. Is there anything you need, right?” again Syakila answered by lying.
”Since when did you become a liar?!” geo asked, his voice sounding even more furious.
Syakila fell silent, Geo knows I'm lying? Is he spying on me? Or what.was he calling Ijan and asking me where I was? his mind.
”I...i am there..in the cobra building..” he said hesitantly and fearfully.
”Hurry home!! I pay Ijan not to serve you go relax!!” geo said, cutting Syakila's speech. Tut tut tut, after speaking, he disconnected the telephone connection.
Rivaldi bobbles head, ”If you're worried, why don't you talk okay the same! Why should sensitize all angry events?” said it.
”Not your business!!” sahut Geo's. He was very angry with Syakila, the woman did not come home, while it was already night. He did not want the events that had happened to Syakila, repeated. And not only that, the woman also dared to lie to him.
Was it because I was being nice to her, and she was brave to me? his mind.
He sighed. ”Can you cure me within two days? I want to go back to A.” city he said.
”What? Two..two days? Me...”
”You can't afford it? Stop dreaming of becoming a hospital owner!!” geo said, cutting Rivaldi's speech.
”Hah, why don't you feel so heartless as a person? After you gave me that hospital, now you want to take it again?”
”Can or not!!” ask Geo again.
”Yes, yes, yes..I will work on it! Satisfied?”
Geo did not answer.
”You'd better have dinner with me, auntie must have prepared dinner. After that you rest, and tomorrow morning after breakfast, I will take you to the therapy place to train your legs.” Rivaldi said again.
Geo knitting, ”In hospital?”
Rivaldi's eyes are peeking at Geo, Does he not like treatment in the hospital? Looks like this kid was traumatized! Seen from his trembling hands while saying hospital. Actually, what happened to him? It's fitting that he has been in a wheelchair for a long time, he does not want to seek treatment in the hospital.
”No, still here, behind this clinic.” he replied.
”Hum,” Suhut Geo.
When they finished talking, Rivaldi's aunt came to call them to eat.
Rivaldi pushes Geo's wheelchair out of the clinic and goes to his house for dinner.
.. ..
In the cobra parking lot.
”Ijan, did Geo just contact you?” ask Syakila. After receiving Geo's phone, she wiped her tears. And go see Ijan in the parking lot.
”Iya, Mistress.” replied Ijan.
Syakila fell silent, It's fitting that he tell me to go home and say I lied.
”We're home now!” said it.
”Good, Mistress!”
Syakila got in the car, and so did Ijan. Ijan starts the car and runs his car out of the cobra building.
”What does Geo scold you for?”
”Em..it..”.
”Nothing, Mistress.” says Ijan. He runs the car at maximum speed.
A few minutes later, he stopped the car in front of Syakila's house. He saw Syakila who was asleep.
”Mistress, we have arrived.” he said slowly.
Syakila open her eyes, ”Oh, sorry. I overslept, all right. Thank you for driving me. You immediately go back to Geo, buy food for him.” he said.
”Iya, Mistress.”
Syakila got out of the car. Ijan rushed around the direction of the car, and ran his car at a rapid speed leaving Sarmi's residence.
Syakila deg-degan when in front of her house. He was very afraid that Sarni, his mother was angry with him because he came home not with Geo.
Tok tok!! He knocked on the door, only once knocking the door open.
”Syakila, you're home?” ask Sarmi.
”I..iya, Mah.” replied Syakila nervously. He went into the house.
”You've eaten?” ask Sarmi again.
”Already, Mah.” replied Syakila lied. He actually has no appetite for anything now.
”Then you rest! Geo told Mama that you went home alone. And he spent the night at Rivaldi.” said Sarmi.
Syakila fell silent, So, Geo told mama like that? Mama is not angry with me! Should I call and thank him? his mind.
”Iya, Mah. In that case, Syakila went to the room first, want to rest.” said.
”Iya,” sahut Sarmi.
Shakila stood up and went to her room. Sarmi looked at his son's back.
Is this just my feeling? I feel Syakila is very sad? Has something been bothering her lately? his mind.
.. ..
On the way to Rivaldi's residence.
Drrrrrt! Ijan's phone rang again, he picked up the phone.
”Halo, Sir!” her greeting.
”Is Syakila home yet?” ask Geo.
”Iya, Sir. I was again on my way to the residence of Lord Rivaldi. Sir, I want to buy you what food for Mister?”
”No need! I'm done eating. You stop by the restaurant to eat, just come here.”
”Good, Mr.” tut tut tut, heard phone connection disconnected. Ijan slowed the car down after seeing the restaurant ahead. He stopped and got out of the car. He went to eat at the restaurant.
A few minutes later, he got out of the restaurant and started the engine again. He drove his car at a moderate speed, travelling from the restaurant to Rivaldi's residence not far away.
A few minutes later, when he reached Rivaldi's house, he stopped his car. He got out of the car and stepped inside the Rivaldi clinic to see his parents.
”Master!” he said he was standing behind Geo's wheelchair.
Geo turned his wheelchair to face Ijan. ”Kneel!” said it.
Ijan said, he sat on his knees while bowing before Geo.
Bugh! Bugh! Two loud blows floated on Ijan's face. However, Ijan did not fight back.
Rivaldi shuddered at the sight of that.
”You know where your fault is?” ask Geo.
”Sorry, Sir! I deserve to be in the law! I did not listen to Master's orders well!” said Ijan, still with a bow.
”Learn obey well! If not, the consequences are not able to bear you!” geo.
”Good, Master!” ijan Sahut.
”Stand!”
Ijan stood up, still in front of Geo with his head down.
”Tell me what you know.” said Geo.
Rivaldi did not understand what the two men were talking about. He watched and became a listener.
”His stepbrother Sir, has regained consciousness today, but, his condition is still limp. While both of his men who broke his legs and hands have recovered. However, for a while the two of them had not been allowed to fight. If the condition of your half-brother slightly improves, then Seva will bring him back to the city of A.”, Ijan said.
”For Madam, parents from Sardin, ask for help to Madam to persuade Sardin to marry a woman named Nita.” he said again.
Ijan understood what Geo's words meant. A half-brother? So, Geo has a half-brother? Oh. I've never heard of Mr. Alber having two wives. And Syakila... Ijan knows where about that? Wasn't he here this afternoon? Then, that news... Is this person sitting in a wheelchair not an ordinary person? rivaldi.
He was still listening to the two men.
Huh, so, she was aloof to think of another man? I think he's looking at his mistakes! Only Sardin was on his mind. Apparently, I'm still soft-hearted at him! All right, you're asking for this Syakila, don't get me wrong, I'm hard on you! his mind.
”Oh, so that's what keeps him from getting excited? He was thinking about Sardin?” geo said, not happy.
”Iya, Sir!” ijan Sahut.
Geo sighed. ”I want to rest!” said it.
Ijan pushes Geo's wheelchair into the bed, he helps Geo lie down.
”Come out!” geo.
”Iya, Sir!” Ijan went out, he sat on the front porch of Rivaldi's clinic.
Rivaldi saw Geo who was asleep. How obedient Ijan is to Geo! He also understands Geo's style of speech. Is Ijan trained? Despite being hit like that, he still remained faithfully following Geo. Is Geo really that cruel? his mind.
”Is there anything you want to ask? Why look at me like that?” geo asked, his eyes still closed.
Rivaldi was surprised, ”No, rest, tomorrow we start therapy for you. Your nerves aren't hard anymore. Your tailbone has also started to improve after being treated.”.
”Hum, sleep on! Aren't you going to work harder tomorrow?”
”Iya, we better rest now!” rivaldi Sahut. He lay in his patient's bed.
A few minutes had passed, it had been almost an hour Geo closed his eyes, forcing his eyes to sleep. However, he was reluctant to sleep, he was restless, he was used to the temperature of the surrounding Shakila air. There was no woman, feeling empty as she felt.
Have I gone crazy? I want him here. How can I sleep like this. My eyes were closed, but not asleep. Did I just call him? mind Geo.
He opened his eyes and breathed. He looked, saw Rivaldi. The man had slept well.
He grabbed his hape, saw the clock in front of the screen, at 23:44. Almost twelve o'clock at night.
Is Syakila asleep? Is this what I feel, he feels it too? What do you think I am? How could he feel what I feel now! Even if he couldn't sleep now it was because he thought of Sardin.
Unknowingly his screen was squashed calling Syakila's contact, he immediately turned off the call after a missed five minutes.
