ETHEREUM

CHAPTER 5

•••

Alia blinked her eyes and grimaced softly. The girl woke up with her eyes slightly open. Next to his hand held his head which felt somewhat dizzy.

“Anjir! Where am I?” muttered Alia was shocked when she realized that she was in a place that was foreign to her.

Alia flicked away the blanket covering her body, and with a puzzled look on her face the girl stood up while pacing indistinctly in the room.

The room with the dominant white color was very clean in the view of Alia. Her eyes turned towards the large LED television beside her, and then the woman looked at her dark reflection there. Alia held onto her hair which was now unraveling in disarray. He did not realize that his hair was lost somewhere. Now, Alia was holding her face while staring at the television. He couldn't see clearly, but it seemed that Alia's eyes were a bit puffy.

Alia was now staring in amazement at the king-size bed that was only a moment ago in her sleep. Spontaneously Alia covered her chest for worrying about something.

“Gosh! Lest I be kidnapped continue to be raped!”

“But if I was raped I would be naked now .... Wherever there is a kidnapper who nyekep his victim in a luxurious room kayak gini. If they were really kidnapped, they should've nyep me at the warehouse.”

Alia's eyes wandered back to explore every corner of the room. Nothing can be used as a clue. This room had no picture frames or anything like that that Alia could find.

Alia's eyes widened as the door knob of the room moved. The girl panicked. He spontaneously ran towards the balcony and closed the sliding door that connected the room and the balcony.

“Anjrite. Who is it, huh?” he murmured while holding the door with his hand. Alia could not see clearly inward. Because the balcony door was covered in plain white thin curtains.

Alia's heart was beating very fast when she saw a silhouette from inside the room approaching towards the balcony where she was standing.

It seemed like the figure approaching it was a man. Seen from the silhouette of the head that looks hairless. I don't know. Alia just guessed.

“Alia?” A knocking sound and a male voice sounded from the inside direction. True Alia's guess that figure is a man.

Alia clenched her lips tightly so that she would not make a sound. The woman was afraid of being found out. Alia doesn't know who that person is. Good or bad he can't guess. What if the guy's bad? Alia could have been killed and raped right now. Ah, amit-amy.

The sound of that knocking was heard again. Alia's mouth was getting faster chanting the do'a-do'a that she could.

“Alia, why are you outside?” Alia's eyes widened. He realized that the person inside knew his name. If that guy's a thief, why would he know Alia's name. Alia didn't have an identification.

“Si–who?” alia's great-grandson but able to hear the person.

“I Raffa,” replied the man.

“Raffa where?” ask Alia again. This time it sounded louder.

“I Doctor Raffa. You forgot me?” Alia's head glared upwards. As he remembered he only knew one Doctor named Raffa on this earth. And Alia had not forgotten about the man.

Alia slowly opened the door of the throat and peered inside with half a head.

“Hai,” greet Raffa with a smile etched on his face.

Alia breathed a sigh of relief and her body poured down onto the cold balcony floor.

Turns right. That person is Raffa Ardiantara. A handsome doctor he had just met a day ago.

“Duh, I guess who. Doctor nakutin really, deh,” grumbled Alia while stroking her thumping chest.

Raffa opened the balcony door until it opened wide with one hand. Alia who was sitting on the balcony floor raised her head to look at Raffa who was standing with a tray containing a bowl of porridge, water, apples, and medicine.

Raffa looks very different. The man, who usually uses snelli on his body, now only uses plain gray shirts, and shorts that make him look very different. Her hair was not as dry as usual. The guy let his hair fall apart without combing, thus giving a sexy impression on him.

“What are you doing there? Here login!” Raffa's orders just made Alia aware of his sight on the man.

“Hmm ... Where is it, Doc? How can I be here?” alia asked in the same position.

“You don't remember, huh?” ask Raffa. “Siang you fainted.”

“Oh, yes,” murmured Alia slowly.

Raffa put down the tray he brought onto the shelf near the television. Then the man followed Alia sitting on the floor barefoot. But Raffa wasn't sitting next to Alia. The man sat in the room, while Alia was still on the balcony, but the two faced each other.

“I don't know where your orphanage lives. That's why I brought you here. To my home.”

“Oh, so, yes. Thanks to Doctor Raffa. Again I was helped by Doctor,” said Alia.

Raffa smile. “If you are not naughty, you definitely do not need me to help. I've told you to rest many times, but you're wayward. Finally your body collapses too. Good thing just fainted,” Raffa's nag.

Alia rubbed her non-itchy nape. The woman was so unpleasant because it often troublesome Raffa. Alia thought about what Raffa cared about her for. Raffa may not be chasing Alia when she is looking for her necklace. When Alia collapsed, Raffa did not take her to the hospital and told other doctors to take care of her. Why bother bringing Alia to her house. Raffa also took care of the girl.

But not pa-pa, anyway. Quite good also I ngadem in the gedongan house kayak gini, Inner Alia while giggling.

“I fainted like a long time ago huh, Doc. Until dark like this.”

“Yes, you fainted until two o'clock in the night.”

Alia squealed in shock. Quickly, he crawled inside and sat down beside Raffa. Raffa watched Alia who now looked cackling in fear. And his hands hugged both knees.

Raffa silently smiled looking at Audy's frightened face. “It turns out that the girl is a delinquent you are afraid of is also the same devil,” led Raffa while chuckling.

Alia put her index finger over her lips. “Sttt! Don't call, Doc! What if they show up?!” whispered Alia was frightened.

“Kan there is me. I'll take care of you.” Raffa's words made Alia so remember with Dio. Dio always takes care of Alia. The man always accompanied Alia if the girl started to feel frightened. Ah, I'm kangen with my gang.

Raffa got up from the floor and picked up the tray he had brought earlier. Then, the tray she placed beside him. Raffa took a bowl of porridge and gave it to Alia. “Nih, you eat until you run out!”

Alia accepted it and immediately put a mouthful into her mouth. “Still, Doc.”

“This time take medicine!”

“Emang you are sick.” That's true too Raffa said. Alia couldn't have been well if she had fainted.

Talk about pain. Alia remembered the patient named Dawn. He thought about how he could be responsible for paying for his medical expenses. If Alia were rich like Raffa, Alia would not be dizzy like this.

“What do you think? That's not to be held by doang Alia! Eaten porridge! What do I need bribe, hm?”

“Eh? No need for a doctor! I can do it myself.” Alia immediately put another spoon into her mouth.

“Doctor.”

“Hm?”

“I really can't sell my kidney, huh?”

Raffa turned his head towards Alia and looked at her seriously. “Cannot! All of this has law. The government prohibits the sale and purchase of organs, including kidneys. Ten years in prison and a one billion fine, let alone you have that kind of motivation. If you want to donate organs that are still healthy, it must be voluntary. The requirements are not easy either. Even if you can it depends on the family you donate. Whether they can pay you or not. Selling organs is not a business, Alia.”

“Kalo so I sell to aja.” broker

Raffa chuckled at Alia who was still stubborn. “You are naughty yes.”

“Running out I need money Doctor.” Raffa breathed out slowly. Raffa understands Alia's condition now. People like Alia, who have such a forced intention, must be all because of economic pressure.

“Try I have a lot of money like a Doctor. I definitely wouldn't think of that. Stealing was definitely not going to do me,” said Alia while looking at the quiet night sky without stars.

Raffa did not take his eyes off Alia. The woman seemed to shine, even though her life was full of darkness. Raffa had even been fascinated by the woman since the beginning of the meeting. Alia was neither graceful nor beautiful like other women. But Alia has a different aura than other women. She only thinks about two things in her life. Old man and his necklace. While that's all Raffa knows.

Raffa is not hypocritical. He already likes Alia even though Alia is a delinquent. Raffa believes that Alia is basically a good person.

“Alia,” call Raffa with the view of constantly looking at Alia.

“Hm?” answer Alia. The woman was still looking up at the night sky.

Raffa breathed a long breath. His heart was pounding to say something he had never said in his life.

“Alia.”

Alia turned her head with a slightly irritated look on her face as Raffa just kept calling her without saying anything. “Iya, Doctor wants to say a—”

“Married to me!”

Alia's pupils widened when she heard Raffa's words that were missed from her expedition. Alia was confused as to what to react. Looking at Raffa's visible face suddenly turned to shine, making Alia's heart suddenly thump uncharacteristically. His heart was pumped too strong.

“Ha?” That's all that came out of Alia's lips. His brain still could not digest everything.

“I want to change your bad luck. So ... get married, and worship with me, Alia.”

“Doctor Raffa,” murmured Alia. “Doctors like soybeans. By the way digresses so.” Alia chuckles, stiff.

Raffa shook his head with an exuberant face. “I'm serious. I know we've known each other for a day. But I am sure of you being my wife. You do not need to think about the treatment of Dawn. That's all I take care of. As long as ... you accept my application this.”

Alia narrowed her eyes staring at the floor. The woman was thinking. There's no harm in accepting Raffa's proposal if Alia profits here. Alia doesn't have to steal anymore. Alia doesn't need to stress over the cost of the Dawn hospital.

Or better yet. Alia could have met her parents if she married the rich Raffa.

I don't know. It seemed, Alia suddenly became a matre.

“I like you.”

“HA?” Both of Alia's eyes turned perfectly. His eyes seemed to be falling out of place. Raffa's statement just now, again far from Alia's shadow.

What does Raffa like about Alia? Why did he suddenly like her? Hey, Alia's a delinquent. Why is a guy like Raffa blind and he likes him? All those lines of questions filled Alia's head.

Is Raffa just playing him.

Alia put the bowl in her hand on the floor. Then, he turned his head towards Raffa and brought his head closer towards Raffa with squeaking eyes. Their distance is now only one inch away. And that made Raffa hold his breath.

“Doctor don't mess with me! Doctor forgets that I'm not a good girl?” Alia's voice sounded flat but felt serious.

“I am not a kid who likes to mess around,” replied Raffa.

Alia's face was hardened. The girl's hand was clenched and ready to punch Raffa in the face. Raffa who already knew Alia's hand movements deftly held the fist of the girl who had almost reached her cheek.

Alia looked at her fists and Raffa's face in turn. Alia already wanted to lower her hand, but Raffa held her back. Now the frightened Alia saw the look on Raffa's face that turned sharp.

“You doubt me?” ask Raffa, sharp.

Alia quiet. Not talk. He seemed locked by Raffa's sharp vision.

“Good. Maybe with this you can trust a little with me.”

Alia was still in her subconscious. He did not even notice when Raffa pulled his hand, and made their distance at zero meters.

Raffa kissed. Right on Alia's lips.

Alia's body was unable to react to anything. The woman was silent with wide eyes. The girl's hand was now held tightly by Raffa. While Raffa's left hand pressed Alia's nape so that the girl did not release their link.

Alia doesn't know this is right or wrong. Alia did not even rebuff and instead began to enjoy it.

Oh, shits! So gini feels.
