JiHan (Promise and Betrayal)

Hope

After shedding her tears Alice and Lidia intend to visit back to Anton's treatment room. The handsome man who now looked weak and pale still seemed to be sleeping quietly with a few hoses and equipment on his body.

There was no sign that he would be conscious. Tears dripped down Lydia's cheek and the woman removed it immediately. He must be strong and strengthen his two children. There was no time for him to be weak.

Lida continued to embrace Alice's body and rubbed the shoulder of the girl who was looking at her youngest child behind this large window.

"Mom.. When will Anton wake up.." Said the girl in a soft voice.

"soon.. He'll definitely wake up soon and get back in our arms." Said Lydia confidently and tightened her embrace to Alice.

"I'll go inside to see it." Said Alice and got a nod from Lida.

Alice walks into the room to change her clothes and then walks into Anton's treatment room. The girl approached Anton's body and gently grasped the man's hand.

"I'm back.. Your mother's here.. He explained everything even he told me that you are as much as I am. Get up and give me an explanation." Alice said but there was still no response from the man.

"You knew.. Maya is conscious and she is accompanied by Juna.. Looks like Juna was attracted to him he looked messed up when he found out that Maya was hurt." Alice said again but there was still no response from this man in front of her.

"Emhh the criminal who tried to kidnap me was conscious and he was being interrogated by my team.. And your men were caught by the CPR, but you don't have to worry that they'll release him soon because I told Galih that they were my people. But one of them died protecting me." Obviously Alice again told everyone what had happened today. The girl was a little sad as she said the latest news.

Alice continued to talk about everything that happened that day while holding Anton's hand tightly.

"Mommy hopes you'll wake up soon, son.. Till whenever I'm gonna keep waiting for you until you wake up from your sleep." Said Lydia who now felt dejavu see the scene in front of her.

Formerly he who was in the position of Alice encouraged and shared the story with the little boy and now his youngest son who was on the bed.

"What about the suspect last night?" Ask Maya who is sitting on her bed.

"It's been handled.. The man claimed to be asked by a woman named Belinda Stary who came from the city of X. But the man claimed not to know the matter between the two women." Juna.

"Hmm? Isn't that weird? Alice never looks for trouble with anyone else." Maya is confused.

"No need to worry, all teams are still looking for a meeting point on this issue. For now your only duty is one, rest and heal your wounds immediately." Juna said attentively.

"What about Alice's fiancee?" Maya asks again who heard the man was also injured to protect Alice.

"There has been no development.. Even tonight she's still unconscious." Juna said again.

"The love of Alice the girl must have suffered greatly.." Maya said concerned.

"We pray for the man to come to his senses immediately.." Say Juna and find Maya.

"Hmmm.."

"It's night now.. Rest up.. I'll sleep here with you." Juna.

"Huh? Whahuh? No need.. You've been with me all day.. I can do it alone, you go home." Get rid of Maya because the woman is not good enough to bother Juna all day.

"I don't need your approval to stay here.. I'm just telling you.. Quickly sleep.. I'll sleep too.." Juna said and confirmed the position of Maya's mattress to make the girl in a sleeping position by using a remote.

"But don't you need to go home to tell your family." Maya again tried to make the man in front of her want to leave her alone in the room.

"Ah.. It's up to you." Maya finally closed her eyes and tried not to be distracted by the presence of the man in front of her.

"Help.. But can you at least turn your face away? Your eyes are like lasers even though I've closed my eyes." Maya finally could not bear to know someone was looking at her intensely.

"Ohh okay.." Juna said casually and turned to look at the television whose volume sounded small.

'Finally.. I can rest.. The whole day is constantly monitored and noticed a little uncomfortable as well.' Inner Maya.

Maya begins to close her eyes and soon the woman falls asleep quickly due to the influence of drugs and also her body that requires a lot of rest.

Juna who heard the sound of Maya's breathing that began to be regular and slow, he turned his body again and saw the beautiful face in front of him that even though he still looked a little tired, he looked a little tired, but a reddish hue had already risen on the woman's face.

"Never get hurt again.. You know how I feel when I find out you're hurt bad? Twice in a month I've seen you get hurt.. Don't know if you're my heart, it's like it's gonna jump out of place every time it hears about you." Whisper Juna while staring at the face of Maya who had slept well.

"Vilify yourself.. Even my love statement never once did you take it seriously.." The man murmured again and then moved closer to Maya's headboard.

"I really love you Maya.." His words were sincere while gently tasting the woman's temple in front of him.

"Rest.. Dream about me." Juna tidied up the woman's hair that slightly covered her deep face, then the man made sure that Maya's infusion fluid was still fully filled and went to the sofa.

The man placed his hands as a cushion and began to close his eyes welcoming his dream.

Alice wakes up from her sleep and immediately cleans herself in the bathroom. The girl saw Galiah still asleep on the sofa curled up in the cold.

Alice carried her blanket and enveloped the man slowly. Afterwards the girl went out to the treatment room where Anton was.

"Good morning, sir.." Alie said greeting a nurse as she was about to enter Anton's treatment room.

"For Miss Alice.." The nurse replied politely. After that Alice went into Anton's room and approached the man's bed.

"Let's Miss Alice be tidy when it's still morning.." The nurse was polite.

"Yes sus.. Where's the nurse going?" Alice asked who grew curious as the nurse brought something with a basin in her hand.

"I want to help bathe some patients.. Doctor Anton want me to help you or Miss Alice herself bathe him?" Bargain the nurse.

"Emhh let me help you clean Anton Sus.. Can I teach it first?" Alice asked the nurse for help.

"Certainly let my lady teach him.. Here's the warm water.. Miss can use this washlap cloth to clean doctor Anton's body." Say it to the nurse and start explaining how to clean it cleanly and efficiently.

"Good sus.. I already understand.. Thank you, sus.." Said Alice.

The nurse nodded and then parted from there to do other tasks. After the nurse's departure, Alice began to clean the body of the man she loved, starting from the eyes and face of Anton, not to forget the girl also always invites Anton to talk about the things he experienced.

Although Alice's voice sounded carefree and happy to tell a story in front of the man, but not infrequently her tears escaped dripping suddenly when looking at her weak lover. The girl quickly wiped her tears and went back to telling her many things even though there was never any response from the man. Only the sound of the engine indicating the man was still there, still accompanying him.

Seriate....
