Love is Not Finished

Chapter 62: Cargalla and Ox

Prita and Atif walked together towards me and Bram.

"Hai Zanu, Chief," said Prita with a smile.

"Hi Prita," Bram replied as he raised his right hand.

"Prita, where have you been? How long was it outside?" my many.

"So I went out for a while looking for food. Fortunately across from this hospital there is a restaurant. We haven't had lunch, have we?" answer Prita.

"Why bother Prita, I can assign others to buy him," Bram said as he glanced at Atif.

"It's okay, Chief. I was accompanied by Atif," answered Prita blushed in embarrassment.

"Ehmm..! Yes we have, we have a rame-rame yuk lunch," I said.

"Ative, please ask the nurse if I can eat out of this hospital meal" Bram said.

"Okay boss," replied Atif briefly and immediately rushed out of the room.

Prita put the rice wrap on a special table for guests. I got out of Bram's bed and helped Prita clean up the food and drink.

"Zanu, plates, cups, spoons are in that cupboard. If you want a cold drink just take it in the refrigerator," said Bram from his bed.

I'm nodding. Not long after, Atif entered with a nurse who was pushing a special trolley where food.

The nurse placed the food in a small cupboard near Bram's bed.

"Let's get Bram eaten and don't forget to take the medicine afterwards" said the nurse.

"Thank you Sus" Bram replied briefly.

The nurse smiled and walked out of the room with the trolley back. Atif immediately take a firm standing position near the door without expression and silence.

"Atif, let's eat together. Before that make sure all your friends are outside, their food is available" Bram ordered.

"Have been the boss, now they change their meal just in case," replied Atif.

"Yes, you accompany Prita to eat,"

Atif nodded and approached Prita who was sitting with me on the sofa. It looks very happy Prita can be close to Atif.

I looked at Bram and thought, It's impossible for Bram to eat on his own. I'd better feed Bram a meal.

I approached Bram and took his food on the small table that the nurse had delivered.

"Sister, I'm bribing ya," I said.

"That's what dong darling. I know for a fact that you want to help me" Bram replied happily.

I sat on the edge of Bram's bed and opened the lid of food that turned out to be rice with a bowl of meat soup. Then I put the soup in the rice.

"Berdo'a was Kak,"

After Bram's prayer, I bribed him.

Duh, I really feel like I'm feeding my own husband?

"Sorry to trouble you. But I'm happy, when else try, bribed with Zanu, he.he.he.", said Bram with a laugh.

"Yes.. May you heal soon, brother. Later after Brother finished, it was my turn to eat,"

Bram nodded. While waiting for Bram to chew his food, I turned my head and noticed that Prita and Atif were chatting together as they ate.

It seems they are getting familiar. Hopefully, Prita's choice is right and Atif can keep Prita well.

Ah..., sometimes I think, everything is arranged by God. My meeting with Bram and Prita's meeting with Atif. It's like everything is connected to each other.

Just go with Zanu.

"Zanu, why stop? What are you pondering?" ask Bram who surprised me.

I was drunk, almost the plate I was holding fell towards Bram.

"Darling, tell me what's holding your heart up now?" ask Bram.

What yes? It felt like a lot, but this time my mind went dead. Time passed so quickly and now I'm owned by Bram.

"Sister, I'll be graduating soon. After graduation, what goes directly to America? Or will something be taken care of?" ask me to divert Bram's question.

"Lho's? Why do you think it's so far out there? I haven't finished my thesis yet and graduation is still a few months away. Are you scared away from me?" ask Bram.

"Not that, later if we are far away, what is the communication through?" askaku.

"Later to buy you a cell phone, let's have a good communication,"

"No, my dad can still buy it. We are taught not to ask others. Papa can be angry,"

"Oiya already, I just wait until you have your own phone. For a while I'm calling by boarding or house phone, okay," Bram replied.

I'm nodding.

"Okay, my meal is over. Now it's your turn to eat" Bram ordered.

"Good Brother,"

I got off Bram's bed and put the old dinner plate on the small table. Then I went to the sink to wash my hands. Don't forget I gave a glass filled with drinks to Bram.

I stepped into the place where Prita and Atif were eating. They didn't say much, but there was a happy look on both of their faces. It seems that Atif is starting to accept Prita's whereabouts now. Maybe Prita has convinced Atif if later they will be far apart.

I took the rice wrap in a plastic bag and ate it right away.

********

Atif and Prita had finished eating and immediately went to the sink to wash their hands. I am alone who has not finished my meal.

"Atif, please get me two chairs and put them near my bed" Bram ordered.

"Good Boss,"

Atif took the two available seats in the room and placed them near Bram.

"You and Prita are sitting here, I want to talk seriously" Bram ordered.

What the hell is it? Like want a trial. Does Bram want to ask about Atif and Prita's relationship? Ah, it's impossible. Bram is not a person who likes to interfere in other people's affairs.

Prita and Atif sit down. Prita looks confused, maybe he thinks, why Bram came to call him.

"Prita, I'm straight to the point. Do you have any idea who the guy who was rolling over the locker room door at one of our clothing stores with Zanu?" ask Bram seriously.

Ow hell! Why did Bram ask Prita that? Later Prita was angry at me for not being able to keep her secret. How's this?

"Hmm, does the chairman know where he is from? Zanu told me, didn't he?" ask Prita directly on target.

"No. I know directly from the man. At first I thought the man wanted to disturb Zanu in the dressing room. But it turns out there are other facts and the target is you Prita. You can tell me, later I will help by finding a solution," replied Bram.

Luckily, Bram didn't tell me. Huff..! Relieved it.

I eavesdropped on their conversation on the sidelines as I was busy eating. Actually without eavesdropping, I can still hear. Because of the distance between me and Bram's bed.

Prita took a deep breath. I know, it must be hard for Prita to explain, not because she doesn't believe in Bram, but maybe she's afraid that a lot of people will know about her. Because his life is threatened.

"Yes Chief. That man was my Papa's enemy's man in America. I purposely went to college here because there was a family from Papa's side. I also did not expect that fast they moved to look for me," Prita replied carefully.

"May I know, what business does your father have? And your father's enemy does he have the same business?" ask Bram.

"Papa has a business engaged in agriculture, covering all parts of America and has been able to export to Europe even though it has not been thorough. Papa's business rivals are always looking for loopholes to be able to drop and they want to dominate the market in America. But always fail. Lastly they wanted to destroy Papa's business by kidnapping me. Because they know, my brother and I are the next heirs. To eliminate the worst possibility, my sister and I were placed in different countries" Prita explained.

"Hmmm.. I know your father's company. Cargalla's. The largest company today in America engaged in agribusiness. All the supporting companies include fertilizer, in collaboration with OX company," said Bram.

I was shocked to hear Bram's words just now.

The OX is tucked away in Bram's name? Bearti Bram is...? I'll find out what Ox's company is, after I get home from here.
