Shasa closed the door slowly so as not to wake Allin who was still asleep. His fingers poked at Allin's forehead for a while then dipped him briefly. Her feelings were now calmer knowing Allin's body temperature was starting to decline. Shasa pulled the chair beside her then sat down without turning her gaze away from Allin. The longer his gaze the more unfocused on one thing, so that Shasa unconsciously dissolved in his daydream.
The conversation between the two sisters he had accidentally heard earlier made his mind flutter. What makes that person do the crazy thing that he used to almost do.
That imperceptible worry slowly infiltrated his heart. I don't know why that feeling could have arisen without her permission. In his life he never thought of people he did not know let alone strangers to make his mind shut up like this.
Shasa's daydreams fell apart when Allin called out to him several times with teary eyes. Shasa had not yet opened his voice, Allin's tears dripped just like that, soaking the pillow he used.
"Loh Allin why crying son, Allin's body is sick, baby?" allin quickly shook his head, a single sob escaped from his tiny lips. Shasa was about to stand up to call the nurse but Allin clasped her hand instead.
"Allin p-pengen met om Han... Allin kangen playing together with Han, Allin wanted to be visited by Han_,"
Not having the heart to see Allin who was crying deeply, Shasa hugged Allin and patted Allin on the back so that his crying soon subsided. This is not the first time her daughter has mentioned a name that sounds familiar to her. How could Allin know a stranger without his knowledge and why that person could make Allin cry to meet him.

"We shouldn't have gone this far without Shasa's knowledge" Carol paused her sentence, her gaze sharply looking at Alan who wasn't poking at her at all. The man looked more concerned about his laptop than he was with himself. At this time he was riled to think about the state of Shasa which he had considered as family. Alan looked relaxed as usual.
"Alan listen to me for a second, we better stop this game. I don't care if Allin's gonna meet Raihan or not. Let the little girl not know who her father is forever. I can't bear to let them go far without our supervision"
Carol's whining succeeded in making Alan's concentration collapse instantly, the man exhaled in annoyance.
Carol was so chatty, she thought.
"Darling.. You think persuading Shasa is as easy as turning the palm of the hand?" Alan without taking his eyes off his laptop. "Shasa can protect himself, without our supervision"
Alan closed his laptop then got up from his seat and walked towards Carol. Letting Carol talk for too long can make her really do what she says, and she doesn't want to beg Shasa as she asked him to accept her offer. Alan walked toward Carol and then held both women's shoulders in front of her. He saw the woman he loved.
"After I had to put on the saddest look possible in front of him, and you told me to make Shasa come back? that's impossible, Carol" Alan stopped his sentence for a moment, then turned his gaze in no direction.
"Even if I try to get Shasa back, that woman will never obey. The advance I had given him was enough to keep him on his original mission"
"Come on baby.. Please, please!"
"Why don't you try it yourself?" Carol frowned, herself feeling challenged by the calamity that Alan had just said.
"Okay, who's afraid!" carol replied in a very confident tone Shasa would be withered with her seduction.

"Well Doc thank you, excuse me"
Shasa walked in slow steps after exiting the room of the doctor who treated Allin. At least two or three more days Allin was just allowed to go home, his feelings are currently mixed. Worried about Allin's condition as well as his work which he delayed. He could not delay his work any longer, the longer he delayed his work the longer he had to stay here.
Although most likely his worries during this time would not happen, but still he could meet people from his time. Shasa was worried that those people still recognized him. The vibration coming from his pants pocket made Shasa wake up from his daydream. Shasa quickly took out the square-shaped object and raised a call that turned out from his co-worker.
Too focused with his conversation, Shasa had unknowingly passed through the room where Allin was being treated. Oh, my God, I almost got the wrong room. Shasa said in his heart as his hand nearly turned the doorknob in front of him. Lately his mind has been branching out everywhere, so his focus has become reduced and doing some carelessness.
When Shasa raised his head, there was a room number of 210. His memory immediately revolved on the incident this morning when he accidentally eavesdropped on the nurse's conversation. Is this the person who failed to commit suicide treated? ask Shasa to himself. Just as Shasa was about to leave the place where she stood, a nurse came to greet her kindly.
Shasa responded with his alakadar, he was about to resign but the sister's speech managed to stop his intention.
"You want to see your family, ma'am?"
Shasa nodded doubtfully, his great curiosity making him do things he should not have done. His common sense had tried hard to stop him, but his body was reluctant to leave.
"How is sus?" Shasa paused for a moment, thinking of a sentence of questions that she should not have asked, and instead of answering her question the nurse invited her in to see it for herself. Shasa increasingly felt that what he was doing was wrong, but his curiosity was still not finished, he wanted to know more.
Sisters who see Shasa do not move in the slightest feeling suspicious, usually people who want to visit friends or family will not wait to enter. Unlike the woman in front of him, from the look in his eyes the woman in front of him looks like doubt.
"Sorry, is this mom a patient?"
The short question from the sisters made Shasa become even more nervous. Then, I don't know where to get a whisper, a sentence just uttered from his lips. Without hesitation and without guilt.
"I am his wife Sus" said Shasa ended with a thin smile that managed to make the sisters in front of him believe just like that.
But in the next second, Shasa's smile just vanished, as the sisters forced her to come inside. Dead is himself now. What if the man inside is awake and knows this shameful charade. Or most likely, what if there was a family of the man inside. Where to put his face.
Now he is fully aware, too meddling in the affairs of others is tantamount to embarrassing himself and putting him into problems that should not happen if he can withstand his curiosity.
Her heart pounded as the nurse opened the door of the room in front of her, cold sweat drenching her forehead. Should he run away now, or continue his charade.
