Face Poker
The Part 20
Leo walked back to Eliza's room. The passageway he passed by back then was a little quiet. You could even say it was really quiet.
Tok.dok..
Silent. There is no answer from within. Leo turned the door knob. His eyes could not even find the person he was looking for in the room.
‘where is he?’ inner wondering.
Leo walked up to the nurse, asking where Eliza was going. But the result is also nil. No one knows where he went.
“what's home?” ask Leo to yourself.
His heart somehow started to get agitated. Legs however still stepped around the hospital to look for Eliza's whereabouts.
Flashbacks
“what do you want to talk about uncle?” leo asked as he continued to follow the middle-aged man's footsteps from behind.
“not the important thing. But..” the middle-aged man stopped in the hospital garden and stared at the lily flower that was
in front of him.
“can I trust Eliza to you?” ask the middle-aged man who momentarily made time standstill for Leo. He stared in bewilderment and amazement at the middle-aged man who was now smiling in front of him.
“ma..means uncle?” asked Leo who was still staring in amazement.
“i've been taking care of Eliza for 20 years. Even though we as her foster family have given her affection. Eliza also loves us. But still in his eyes there is still less love.” It was clearly the middle-aged man with a sad look.
“so?”
“so, can you complete the love he has in his heart?”
Leo speaks a thousand languages. For some reason this time Leo hesitated to express his feelings to Eliza. That night Leo told him that he loved Eliza, and Eliza did the opposite.
“ada what?” asked the middle-aged man to Leo who had just looked at him in silence without expression.
“paman, i..”.
“during this time I was always determined to make Eliza always happy. Don't let him be abandoned again. And I'm sure you can also make Eliza happy. Aye right?” continued the middle-aged man without hesitation and the smile that was always drawn on his face started to wrinkle.
Leo remained silent. His heart was beating even faster. In his mind was Eliza. And in his shadow he saw the face of Eliza who was smiling when she was with him.
‘iya! I love Eliza so much! Not because we are lucky. Wasn't it! I really love her! Love's. Ja. Love!’ the very steady Leo.
“iya, uncle. Take it easy. I'll make Eliza happy. I will make Eliza not lose her love again. And I will also keep Eliza there with me.” Leo's extremely steady reply made the middle-aged man let out a cry for a moment.
Only the wind, grass, sky, flowers, and birds chirping bear silent witness to Leo's statement
that's. And God certainly predestined it.
Flashback End
The big foot kept stepping looking for Eliza in every corner of the hospital. His own room, his father's room, hospital lobby, garden, autopsy room, morgue, and bathroom. The washroom?
In fact, Leo was willing to ask the nurse in the room where Eliza's patients were treated. He thinks Eliza might be
there. But the result is nil.
“suster, I want to ask. Patients dr. Eliza's in what room number?” ask Leo in a hurry.
“maaf sir. Dr. Eliza doesn't have any patients. Even if there's for sure, in the morgue.” The nurse replied in a confused tone.
‘astaga. I forgot Eliza's a forensic expert.” He shuffled his hair in frustration.
“even the phone is off.” Leo muttered while holding his phone after contacting Eliza which was again answered by the operator.
Leo's heart seemed disturbed since talking to Panji about Eliza. He felt that from then on it should continue to be with Eliza.
Leo felt it for the first time. For the past 8 years, I have never been too worried. Even a bad feeling sprang up in his mind.
His footsteps were back in Eliza's room. But it's still the same. Leo went to Eliza's father's room.
But not yet arrived, he saw a nurse who ran in the opposite direction to him. And the middle-aged man came out in a hurry.
“paman! What's up Uncle?!” ask Leo to panic.
“Lucas. His condition is getting worse. Suddenly convulsions in his room and now his condition is very unstable.” Clearly the middle-aged man and immediately ran with all his might.
Leo ran into the room. How surprised he was to see the old man's body burning. The recorded heart rate is also unstable.
“dr. Sarah's? What happened?” asked the middle-aged man immediately entered the room which already had several.
“dr. Panji, suddenly patient convulsions.” Answer a nurse.
“doctor, his heart rate is getting weaker.” Said another nurse.
“halo brother Eza.”
“what's Leo?” a man answered from behind his cell phone.
“to hospital now.” His orders were firm and immediately closed the call unilaterally.
Leo was just silent waiting for certainty from inside the room. But her thought of Eliza made her even more unsettled.
“dock, his heartbeat stops!!” the nurse's panicked voice that rang out of the room made Leo like a statue.
A few minutes ago, Leo was sitting in front of the VIP room. What he had in mind right now was mixed. Between Eliza's whereabouts and the matter of the case.
‘moreno end.’ Let Leo in his still restless heart.
“Leo!!” exclaimed a man who ran towards him with several people behind him.
“kak Eza?!”
“ada what?” asked Eza with breath still hunting.
“conditions are getting worse. My feeling is not good now.” Clearly Leo with a worried tone.
“big brother worries Lucas is dead?!” ask Luqman who can still joke.
“not! The old man wanted to die, just die! Eliza.”
“what's with brother El?”
“try can you contact him?”
“why didn't you contact him yourself?” ask Eza who is quite confused.
“inactive.”
Luqman tried to call her brother, but the result was nil. There's no answer.
“how?” leo asked after seeing Luqman keep his phone away from his ear.
Luqman only shook his head weakly making Leo even more distraught.
“shit!!”
“relax. When was the last time you met?” tanya Eza tried to calm him down.
“about 45 minutes ago?” leo said as he remembered when he left Eliza's room.
“Louisa, check cctv hospital.” Eza's orders were swiftly answered by Louisa who followed several
people.
Krekka…
The door of the room was open. A person in his white coat came out with a face that showed desperation
asanas.
“has not been helped.” Say the woman in the white coat.
“what does uncle mean?!” ask Leo to be sure.
“death time 14.23” replied the middle-aged man was short.
Luqman who swiftly recorded what his father had just said.
“you can take it if you want. Looks like he was poisoned a second time.” The reply from the female doctor made the person who heard it except for the middle-aged man beside her surprised.
“ prepare the warrant.” Pinta Eza resolutely and swiftly some of his men immediately rushed over
go awayl.
“call Eliza to the autopsy room.” Said the middle-aged man.
“Eliza is not here uncle.”
“what do you mean?”
“dia disappeared.”
