Love You In Silent's

20. The Fragile Gaza

In the middle of the night exactly at 1 pm, an adult man was struggling with his laptop in complete darkness, only illuminated by the moonlight coming through the window and also the light rays from the laptop.

The adult man did not feel any drowsiness at all and intended to overtime the entire night to finish his work. He could have done it from the beginning, but…

The Flashback

At 9pm in a hospital room, Nara, who had not been able to fall asleep in her bed, looks agitated, making Nara's father approach her and open the blanket covering Nara's body, "Why, hmm? How come you haven't slept?"

"Nara was not sleepy yet." Nara puffed her cheeks while pouting, making Nara's father take a chair and put her next to Nara's bed.

"Would you have a chat or confide in before you go to bed?" Nara's father offers something that is very often done both when they are bored or when just alone.

"You!" Nara immediately woke up from her sleeping position with vigor. How could I have missed this opportunity! That's how Nara thought.

The two chat, if asked why there was only Nara's father who accompanied Nara because Nara's father forbade her mother Nara to stay at the hospital. So that's why Nara's mother was at home with Nara's brother. In addition, Nara's father was afraid that Nara's mother would not be able to sleep like the day Nara's condition dropped again and was critical in the middle of the night.

It had been almost an hour the two chatted, until Nara's eyes had started to look tired. Nara's father who had just come out of the toilet came straight to Nara.

"Sleep.don't force it, you need to get enough rest to get well quickly." Nara's father kissed Nara on the forehead and laid Nara down quietly. Lastly, Nara's father raises a blanket to cover Nara's body. Nara who was already very sleepy immediately closed her eyes and began to head into the dream.

After watching Nara fall asleep, Nara's father returns to his unresolved work.

Flashback Off

"Alhamdulillah is done." Nara's father stretched his hands and closed the laptop. Nara's father approached Nara, who had fallen asleep, gently stroked Nara's head, "Sorry…" Nara's father sat on the floor with his hands still on Nara's head.

"Father was useless." Nara's father held back his sobs for fear of waking Nara who was already fast asleep.

"Gaz..is that you?" Neva stood in front of Gaza who was bowing her face and was completely unaware of the existence of Neva.

"Neva…? Want to see Nara?" Gaza immediately showed her forced smile. Although he smiled but the pale face could not fool Neva that Gaza was not okay.

"Gaz, wait for who? Why is your face so pale?" Neva immediately sat beside Gaza, Neva thinking he should not rush to get out all the questions that are in his head at the moment.

Gaza did not answer, he immediately lowered his head back and began to sound sobs there. Neva ventured to calm Gaza by stroking its back. At least it can relax Gaza a little bit.

"Nev.gue met a small child in the alley.gue squirms to himself how this vast world he does not feel the slightest happiness.gue squirms himself he was beaten to a pulp by his own father…so I'm not wrong if I hit his father back to battered…?" Neva who heard that was shocked, now she knows why there are blood stains on Gaza's hands and clothes.

"Gak Gaz.lo is not wrong.lu has helped give justice to the boy.." Slowly Neva embraced Gaza calmed him down. Sorry if he crossed the line, but he cannot leave Gaza alone. The figure who is known to be always cheerful and likes to insult his friends now looks very sad, inversely proportional to what he always sees in school. The smile that was always plastered on his face now turned into a very deep sadness.

"Gue sure sure the boy can survive.don't feel guilty Gaz.lo has done the best, and God also see what you do, you're not wrong…" Neva clapped her hands on the vibrating bronze of Gaza. This is the first time Neva has seen Gaza so badly hit like this.

Even though you always look strong on the outside, it turns out that inside you there is a fragile heart, Gaz. Your presence in my life changed something that I could never change to completely change. Now let me repay all your kindness.
