Mom For Bhara

14: Fatigue

A few days after the incident Natasya slapped Haikal, he became the gossip material on his campus. Some pity Natasha, others vilify her name. But Natasya did not care, she continued her activities as usual. Study, work, study, work, and so on. Oh, and visiting Bhara at the orphanage as well every afternoon.

Natasya's first class schedule is over, there are still 2 more classes later after the break. Currently, he was heading to Hendry's room to do his job as a personal assistant. His lecturer who is also a lawyer asked for a recap of the daily schedule for the next month.

Tok tok tok tok

Natasya knocked on Hendry's door, then opened it slowly. He could see that his lecturer was sitting at his desk writing something. As Natasya walked in, Hendry turned his gaze and smiled at the assistant.

"This is Mr. Hendry's daily schedule for the next month" Natasya said as he handed over a paper sheet containing Hendry's schedule.

Hendry checked his schedule carefully, then said to Natasha, "please get the meeting with the chief prosecutor changed to one day after. Yesterday he had just told me that there was an important meeting in the prosecutor's office that day."

Natasya smiled as she nodded her head, "well, sir. Anything else I need to change?"

Hendry shook his head, "for a while stay like this."

"Well, then, I'll excuse you, sir," Natasya said.

Natasha would have turned around to leave there, before Hendry's voice prevented her.

"Wait a minute, Natasha!" hendry exclaimed before Natasya left.

"Yes? What's up, sir?" ask Natasya.

"As for you must have been lacking rest lately, your face is pale," said Hendry miris.

"Oh, maybe I am indeed lacking a break, Mr. Hendry. But I'm fine" replied Natasya trying to convince the lecturer.

Hendry let out a long sigh, "don't keep pushing yourself, Natasya. How many times have I told you, don't miss a break."

Natasya smiled gently, "thank you for worrying about me, Mr. Hendry. But I'm absolutely fine, Mr. Hendry need not worry."

"Yes, you can go, do not miss lunch again yes," said Hendry.

Natasya chuckled, "get ready, sir."

After that, Natasya left Hendry's room. The lecturer stared at the sliver on Natasya's back that disappeared behind the door. Although trying to look okay, but Natasha's tired face can not lie. His eyes looked soft, his eyes were thick, his lips were deathly pale. Hendry was worried that the girl had fallen ill from overwork.

...----------------...

After leaving Hendry's room, Natasya immediately stepped foot into the engineering faculty. He got a job from some engineering students to help work on their research paper. He must see directly the research conducted by the engineering students in order to make the appropriate paper.

Because it was too busy following the research process there, without realizing Natasya had missed her lunch hour. When he started to feel hungry, the next class was about to start. As a result, he had to continue taking classes without eating at all.

Throughout the lesson, Natasya tried to stay sitting upright even though she felt her body was very weak. Alan who was sitting next to Natasya scrunched his forehead when he saw Natasya who began not to focus on listening to the explanation from the lecturer in front there.

"Natasha, are you sick?" asked Alan in a soft voice.

Natasya turned her head, then shook her head, "i'm fine, Al."

"But your face is pale, Shay," said Alan.

"I'm fine, Al," replied Natasya remained in her stance, then went back to listening to the lecturer in front.

"I drove to the infirmary, yes," said Alan, who continued to try to persuade Natasha.

Alan could only sigh deeply. Natasha was always like this, very stubborn and always strong. Failing to persuade Natasya to go to the dugout, Alan returned to the lecturer's explanation without asking the girl again.

Bruk!

"Natasha!"

All the students turned their heads and were surprised to see Natasya who had fainted and fell on the floor. Everyone panicked, it made teaching and learning activities stop. Alan who was shocked immediately lifted Natasya's body and carried her to the health room. It was fortunate that Natasya's body was very thin, so the man had not too much trouble holding her.

Brak!

Alan kicked at the health room door with his foot, leaving the guard inside there shocked. Instead of being anarchist, Alan's hands were indeed used to carry Natasya, so the only way to open the door was to kick her.

"Alane! Just startled," the guard growled, then turned his gaze towards Natasya who was in Alan's arms, then gave the instruction, "astaga! Put him in the bed over there!"

Alan also laid Natasya on one of the mattresses in the health room. The guard approached them.

"What happened to Natasha?" ask the guard who knows Natasha.

"So suddenly he fainted in class," Alan replied still gasping for breath.

"He's got a history of illness or just passing out?" ask the guard while taking care of Natasha.

"There's no history of illness, but lately he's rarely rested, maybe exhausted" Alan replied.

"Then, wait for him to come to his senses. Please buy him food and water" the guard said.

Alan simply nodded his head and immediately ran towards the canteen to buy food and water. After he finished buying, he immediately ran to return to the health room.

Natasya's best friend put the bag of crackles that he brought on the nightstand next to Natasya's mattress. He sat down on the chair beside Natasha, then sighed tiredly.

"You're so stubborn, Sya, that you've fallen down like a gini" Alan murmured.

...----------------...

Natasya blinked her eyes and opened them slowly, she grimaced as she felt a dizziness strike her head.

"Natasha? Are you awake?"

Alan's voice made him look. Now, he had just realized that he was lying in the campus health room.

"You passed out in class again" said Alan, knowing Natasya's confusion.

Natasha was silent, and she tried to get up from her sleep. Alan who saw Natasya still limp immediately took the initiative to help her sit down. After making sure Natasya was sitting comfortably, Alan took the rice wrap on the nightstand and handed it to Natasya.

"Eat first, yeah. You must have not eaten anything earlier," said Alan as he opened the rice pack.

Natasha just nodded slowly, "thank you very much, Al. Sorry for taking care of you."

"Together, no nicotine at all," Alan said with a smile.

After that, Natasya started eating the rice. Alan only noticed it, occasionally he also invited Natasya to talk.
