Heir to the Cruel Master

Meet Zein

Nadia woke up when she felt her mother's body warm.

Seen to the side, it turns out that Bu Rita the Mother is shivering.

"Mama, what's the matter, Ma ?" nadia asked worriedly

Nadia tried to pat her mother's cheek to wake up.

" Mah wakes up Mah, wakes up mah" said Nadia many times.

Panicking, he tried to feel a pulse on his mother's wrist.

"His pulse is very weak" muttered Nadia.

"Wake up Ma. get up..," call Nadia to make Bu Rita to lean over . But his mother did not open her eyes.

"Ma, don't make me panic Ma, wake up Ma."

Nadia was worried.

"Oh my God, what should I do?" Nadia monologues while pulling her hair .

"Ma, wake up Ma!"call Nadia in a nearly crying tone.

Nadia also tried to find the existence of the medicine box.

The medicine box is empty. Not even a heat-dissipating tablet was there .

"God! What I should do. "

Nadia again saw her mother in the room.

"I can't let you go like this.I have to get help!"

Having no one at home, Nadia immediately ran for help .

On that dark day, Nadia walked out of the house to the Highway.

On arrival on the highway Nadia tried to stop some car drivers by waving her hand. But no one stopped to ask.

 Understandably the time was only three in the morning, while the area where Nadia lived was so quiet.

Nadia kept trying to stop the passing cars, because that was the only way she could help her mother.

From a distance he saw a black Nissan x-trail at moderate speed, slowly approaching him.

 Nadia recklessly walked almost to the middle of the road to block the car .

Sretttt the sound of the car stopping because of a sudden braking.

"Hey ! why did you stop me ?" asked the man in annoyance.

"Sorry, can you help me ?"nadia asked while covering her two hands.

"Why ?" ask the man who turned out to be Zein.

"Help me Mas, my mother is sick .I need a vehicle to go to the nearest hospital" said Nadia with a little bit of clarity.

Zein pulled the car over the shoulder of the road. 

Zen looked at the woman who looked panicked because of that he was intending to help her.

"Well, where's your house?" asked Zein while opening the car door.

"Thank you, then come with me mas ."

In a hurry Nadia led to her home.

"Please enter Mas " Nadia said as she opened the unlocked door with attention to the state of the house. There is not a single property in the house .

"Here Mas" said Nadia while showing her mother's room.

Zein approached the room.

Zen was looking at a middle-aged woman lying with a pale face.

"Please my mama Mas," asked Nadia with a bit of compassion.

Without thinking any more, Zen raised Bu Rita's body, then took her out of the room.

They went straight to the car, coincidentally when Welly who had just returned home saw Zen and Nadia from a distance.

" Zeein? Why Zen is here."

"Well, if he finds me."

The terrified Welly hid in the grass of the neighbors.

Zen asks Nadia to open the back door of his car, then he puts Bu Rita on the car seat.

"Come in" Zein told Nadia .

After Nadia entered, Zen returned to the steering wheel, and he immediately took his car to a nearby hospital.

In the car, Ms. Rita kept shivering. He was delirious and raved, it made Nadia even more worried.

"Mah is aware of mah," said Nadia while shaking her mother's body slowly. 

"What are you sick for ?" asked Zein while looking back for a moment.

"Mom has a gastrointestinal infection."

"Oh then why not from yesterday taken to the hospital ?"

"You just live alone in that house ?" ask Zein back.

Nadia was silent again while shaking her head 

"Well, we'll be in the hospital soon." 

About 30 minutes they arrived at the small clinic, understandably, the house Nadia lived in was in the suburbs .

Zen raised Rita's body back to the IGD treatment room.

He also waited for Ms. Rita to finish the examination .

Then a nurse approached Nadia.

"I'm sorry ma'am, it looks like your mother has to be taken to a bigger hospital with more complete facilities.

Nadia was panicking.

" Why sister ?"ask Nadia. 

"Because your mother's condition is getting worse, if it continues to be left and does not receive intensive care, her life can be threatened" said the nurse explained. 

At that time Nadia could only shed her tears, because of a penny of money, she had none. 

Seeing that the zen sitting on the waiting chair immediately approached him.

"What's wrong? what about your mother?" ask Zain .

Nadia did not answer her teary eyes

Because he did not get a response, Zain immediately approached a nurse, then asked the condition of the patient he was carrying.

Moments later, Nadia sees Zein heading to the cashier, after which she approaches Nadia.

"Let's take your mother to a bigger hospital" Zain said in a tone.

 Nadia turned her head towards Zen with teary eyes.

"But.. but .."

"Ah come on, we take your mother's life more important first" Zein said.

"The problem is the cost, let me take care of it later ."

Nadia feels more and more unwell with the man she just knew, but what to do. If he did not receive a helping hand from Zein, his mother might not be helped. 

"Thank you" he said in a loud voice.

Because of the state of bu Rita is not possible to be taken by private car. Zen rented an ambulance to take him to a nearby hospital.

" You go with the ambulance, I'll follow you from behind" Zein said.

"Yes, it's."

Nadia entered the ambulance, while Zein accompanied from behind.

Zen who had just been from the project site was so tired, it felt like he wanted to rest.But he could not let others who needed his help.

A little while later they arrived at the hospital in the city 

Bu Rita immediately got the action of a specialist doctor when he arrived at the ER room.

Zein took care of his administration.

After getting treatment Bu Rita was taken to the treatment room, while waiting for the next examination.

Time showed at 6:30 Nadia laying her head beside her mother was asleep.

'God, I hope nothing happens to Mom. I don't know where to get the money from for my mama's medical expenses, ' Inner Nadia.

The door of the treatment room was opened by someone, Zen came carrying 2 plastic packages 

"Eat" said Zein, offering a styrofoam containing breakfast for Nadia.

Zen also brought some bread and drinks.

"You eat first, you get sick later. If not you, who will take care of your mother" advised Zein when Nadia looks shy to eat the food she carries.

"On the cost you don't worry, 'cause I'll bear ya ".

Nadia looked at Zein with a dewy look.

"Thank you, I don't know what else to say. I don't know how to repay Mas's kindness, but after my mother's recovery, I promise I will repay the money I spent on my mother's treatment."

" No, I'm sincere.It's important you take care of your mother."

Zein then opened his wallet taking out some money.

"It's for your hold, while in the hospital. I have to go to work soon. Later in the afternoon if there's time I'll come back here" Zein said.

Nadia looked up at the money, she felt bad, but on the one hand she needed the money.

With a slightly shaking hand Nadia grabbed the money that Zein gave her.

"Thank you" said Nadia.

" This is my business card, just call me if you need anything." Zein smiled at a glance then came out leaving Nadia.
