I Love You, Without Terms

Forgive Me

Altea stepped up the exit stairs, she accidentally did not board the available elevator. Faced with a boss like this,

it felt like he needed to regulate his breathing and prepare himself with all the possibilities that were happening.

"I have no fault whatsoever, O Lord "Inner Altea.

Altea trembled as his steps had already arrived on the third floor. With a heavy heart he knocked on the door and greeted the superior.

"Good afternoon sir, I directed Wulan's mother here" Altea tried to pick up and gather her courage.

"Sore is also Altea, sit down....

With trembling Altea sat down while squeezing his fingers, the feeling of uneasiness and deg deg an mixed into a fear.

"Matteo is in a critical hospital, and aunt Ratna is asking you to go there" Ibra put together the sentence as best she could for Altea to understand.

Ibra recalled that before Ibra closed the door of Matteo's ward, Ratna called him and then gave Altea his mobile number and asked him to tell Matteo the situation now.

"Critical? Altea emphasized his words as if making it clear that his hearing was not wrong.

"True, if you are willing I will escort you now" Ibra looked at Altea deeply as if giving a plea.

"My working hours are long, I....

"I hope you're ready now Altea" Ibra immediately cut Altea's sentence.

"But then my salary today was cut, so my incentive was scorched "Atea showed her sad face while imagining the end of the month her salary was cut and her craft incentives were scorched.

Operations at Ibra restaurant do provide incentives in the form of crafting money to all employees who meet their 26 working days each without absence or permission.

If one day only, in 26 days it is not met then the incentive is automatically forfeited.

It feels that Altea is not willing if until the money craft that always makes his spirit increase suddenly charred.

Ibra massaged her forehead for a moment, hearing the reason for Altea's refusal making Ibra's head throb.

"Altea, if your salary later this month hit a cut I make sure all operations here will be replaced " Ibra said the sentence with one hand still attached to his forehead.

"Why be replaced sir? Altea even raised a question while frowning.

"Oh my God am I dealing with a 5-year-old?" Inner Ibra

Ibra calmly provided a solution, he understood that at a young age Altea was sometimes difficult to capture the content of the conversation.

Altea agrees to go to the hospital with Ibra. They went down the stairs one by one.

At that time also Altea met again with Rafael, either by chance or indeed before Rafael intends to meet Altea I don't know only the author who knows.

Rafael immediately approached Altea and greeted him, Ibra who saw it silently took a picture of Rafael and sent the photo to Daniel with the aim that Daniel find out the identity of Rafael.

After their conversation, Altea turned her body around and followed Rafael to the parking lot.

On the way there was no talk between Ibra and Altea. Ibra actually wanted to ask what happened between Altea and Matteo. But he felt it was not the right time.

Finally they arrived at a hospital lobby, "we should use a mask sir, here are many viruses" with plain Altea thrusting a mask that is still wrapped to Ibra.

Ibra was stunned by the girl's simple treatment, finally realizing that Altea was indeed behaving well to everyone.

If Altea was not the woman Matteo liked, Ibra could have misrepresented Altea's kindness and concern.

Ibra thought this would be a big obstacle for Matteo to get Altea. There are certainly many men out there who put their hearts on the girl.

They arrived at the twenty-floor spot where Matteo was being treated, then Ibra and Altea entered. It appeared that inside the room there was only Diva and Ratna was on guard.

"Aunty night", Altea greeted Ratna and briefly lowered her head. "Night too Altea, sit down son" Ratna drew a slight smile.

"Oh. so this is Altea, she's beautiful yes ma" Diva opened her voice while throwing a friendly smile.

Hearing that Altea simply smiled shyly in embarrassment, "How is Matteo Auntie doing ?"

"He was still unconscious, son, he called your name, so aunty asked Ibra to bring you here" Ratna said.

"What ?calling my name?????

Then Altea approached to see Matteo, clearly Matteo's eyes were still closed with pale faces and bruised wounds still appear to decorate the face of Handsome Matteo.

He saw Matteo's face so peaceful and sweet. There was no grim face and bringas that he used to see when Matteo was fighting.

Altea touched Matteo's left cheek which he slapped last night. "I'm sorry" .

Seeing Matteo like this the guilt appeared again, he regretted the slap.

He also saw an infusion hose stuck in Matteo's right hand, the hand he used to hit people's faces or bodies now lying on the bed.

Altea's guilt grew even more, however Matteo often drove him home late at night.

But sometimes a thousand or even a million human good will be lost because of a bad or wrong.

But a piece of ugliness cannot necessarily be covered by a thousand good. Right or not ?

Goodness and evil can never be combined or compared.

Returning to the storyline, Altea contacted her parents and asked for permission tonight she would stay at the hospital, and her parents allowed her to.

"Tante , I'll be here guarding Matteo "

Altea opened the voice.

"Are you sure, son?

"I've asked my father and mother for permission"

Ratna just nodded her head with a smile. "Diva you go home baby, mama and Altea will take care of your sister" Ratna caressed Diva's hair.

Finally Ibra drove Diva home, so in the room left Altea and Ratna who strengthen each other.

Altea intends to order dinner from the app on her phone "Aunty want to eat what ?

Altea rubbed his phone screen while bringing the phone closer to Ratna.

"By eating anything, son"

"Same rice sweet sour fish want, or soto rice ? Altea offers several menus.

"Nasi soto aja dear" Ratna smiled slightly at Altea.

Then they both enjoy dinner, Ratna herself actually does not have appetite, but she does not want to disappoint the girl who faithfully helped her.

Finally slowly he enjoyed soto rice while looking at the sweetness of Altea's face while being silent.

Not feeling the night getting late, Ratna chose to lay her body on a long sofa in the room, she also asked Altea to lie on the sofa next to her.

Maybe because of the tired effects of crying Ratna closed her eyes and entered into sweet dreams that adorn her night.

Altea could not sleep at all, he looked at the beautiful city of Jakarta which was translucent glass windows from the height of the hospital building.

He twisted his memories back early on meeting Matteo, he had not expected the meeting to go this far.

After looking at the city of Jakarta, he turned his head and approached Matteo. Unceasingly he looked at Matteo's face every once in a while he invited Matteo to speak.

"When did you wake up ? don't you miss fighting?

"Or don't you have any more power ?

"Relax I'll order a ton of infusions to get your strength back up again" Altea giggled as she placed her hand in her mouth holding her laughter.

Occasionally Altea's fingers carelessly opened Matteo's eyes, he also towel Matteo's cheeks.

"You're so handsome when you sleep like this, but your burly hands like hitting people's kids"

"Did I tell the doctor to cut off your hand? " altea said as she held back her laughter imagining Matteo waking up tomorrow morning without a hand.

"Did you know I told you tough guy but stupid guy too?

"If you don't believe, just ask my father",

Altea did not stop chattering while pranking Matteo's body. "When else I can kill a hungry tiger, right" Altea again giggled.

Ratna who heard that only withstood her laughter heard the chirping of the girl who was judging her son.

He purposely closed his eyes so that Altea would not know if he was awake.

Seriate....
