Mom For Bhara

15: Alan's Request

Natasha had just finished her lunch. Actually, it can not be called lunch as well anyway, because the day is already late in the afternoon. Now, Natasya is back lying on the bed in the infirmary. He planned to rest for a while, while waiting for Alan who had promised to take him home. His best friend was still in class to follow the last lecture schedule on that day. Too bad, Natasya missed the last class schedule because her body was still too limp.

While lying down and closing her eyes, Natasya could faintly hear the footsteps of someone approaching her. He thought it was Alan, so he opened his eyes.

"Composed-"

Natasha widened her eyes in surprise when she saw that the person standing before her was not Alan, but Haikal. Just like before, Haikal's gaze and smile looked terrible in Natasya's eyes. He got up and sat on his bed.

"Sir Haikal?! Why are you here?!" sulcan Natasha.

The girl's anger peaked upon seeing Haikal. He always remembered the humiliation that the student had thrown a few days ago.

"I just want to see your condition, Natasha" Haikal said calmly.

Natasya screeched, "cheek, don't be pretentious in front of me. I won't look at your face."

Hearing Natasya's rude speech, instead of being offended, the man even laughed as if he was underestimating Natasya.

"Natasha," called Haikal in a low voice, "you're hard to approach. Just so you know, your nature that I believe in actually makes me more challenged."

Natasha could only look at the man standing in front of her with a look of disbelief. He was very annoyed with Haikal who never stopped to approach him even though he had refused many times.

"You're crazy, brother!" exclamation Natasya.

Haikal chuckled softly, "i'm crazy, and you're the reason I'm crazy."

Haikal slowly moved his legs to get closer to Natasha. That made Natasya regress her body and act alert.

"J-don't come any closer," said Natasya who somehow became alarmed now.

Haikal stopped his steps, then looked into Natasya's eyes deeply.

"Natasha, why are you so stubborn?" haikal said in a soft voice.

"See yourself now? You look very, very sad," Haikal said, trying to seduce Natasya, "if you accept my offer, I can give you a lot of money."

"Shut up..," Natasha sneered furiously.

"You didn't forget what I bargained for you back then, did you, Natasya?" ask Haikal.

"Shut up..," Natasya growled in a soft voice.

"Sleep with me and I love you for whatever payment you ask."

"I SAID SHUT UP!"

Srett!!

The buagh!!

Natasya was very surprised because just after she shouted, suddenly someone pulled Haikal and punched him in the face until the brash man fell down.

"Alan?" natasya muttered looking at Alan with her angry face.

Yeah, Natasha's best friend punched Haikal in the face. He had just walked into the health room to take Natasha home. But as he approached Natasya's bed, it coincided with Haikal saying something that ignited his emotions.

Alan pulled a rough collar of Haikal's shirt to make the man stand up.

"How dare you talk like that to Natasha?!" alan shouted to Haikal.

Haikal smiled obliquely while enduring the pain in his jaw from Alan's non-playful punch.

"Why? You don't accept it? Hey, you're just Natasya's best friend, don't be a bad luck hero to her" Haikal teased Alan.

Alan's emotions overflowed hearing Haikal's words that showed no guilt at all. He had already raised his clenched hand ready to throw a punch at Haikal again. However, Natasya hurriedly came down from the bed and held her back.

"Alan!" natasha shouted while holding her best friend's hand.

Alan turned his head towards Natasya, while the girl shook her head while looking at him with a pleading gaze.

Alan let out a rough sigh, then threw Haikal's body making the man stagger back.

"Enough, Alan. Mending we just go home," said Natasya slowly.

Alan stared at Haikal's guts, "the basic shameless man! Dare to low women. A coward!"

After being satisfied with Haikal, Alan left with Natasya to leave the health room. Meanwhile, Haikal just stared at their departure furiously. Natasya is very difficult to get, and Alan, the girl's best friend who always protects her, makes it even harder for Haikal to get close to Natasya.

In the evening at Adikusuma residence, all family members gather at the dinner table for dinner together. They have a personal cook who cooks for them everyday. This is because Anjani who has to spend most of his time to take care of the hospital, so he does not have time to take care of household chores, even for cooking though.

Fortunately, Henry was an understanding husband. He did not demand that his wife leave his career to take care of housework. After all, the Adikusuma family had abundant wealth, so they preferred to hire many domestic assistants.

The dinner was quiet as usual. They ate in silence, there was only the sound of spoons and forks clinking.

"Eum... Dad," call Alan to start the conversation making everyone turn their heads towards him.

"Yes, what's up, Al?" ask Hendry.

Alan seemed to think before speaking his mind, "dad no more extra work for Natasya?"

Hendry frowned confusedly, "why are you suddenly asking like that?"

"I feel sorry for Natasha. He's been looking for a lot of extra work so he can get a lot of money to adopt Bhara" said Alan.

Hendry let out a long sigh, "dad also pity him, Al. But as a teaching assistant and father's personal assistant, he's worked a lot for me. If you add her job again, it's exploitation, she can get tired."

"But now Natasha's been exploiting herself, Dad. He's taken a lot of extra work from nowhere, but it's all lacking he said," lamented Alan.

"Your mother met him yesterday at the hospital. His eye bags were so thick, the boy must have been sleep deprived" Anjani said.

"Why is Natasha forcing herself? He should know that a lot of money is not enough for the adoption of a child, right?" johnathan wondered.

"Natasha knows all about that, Brother John. But he's stubborn, he's going to do everything he can to adopt Bhara" Alan replied.

"Is there no other way to help Natasya, Dad?" ask Alan to Hendry.

"What else, Alan?" hendry said tired of the coercion of his youngest son, "if you can help Natasya, you must have done it. But I can only help him to this extent."

"Eum.... Maybe 'talk' to someone to simplify the adoption process?" alan said with doubt.

"You mean bribing insiders?" hendry exclaimed, "don't joke, Alan. I would never do anything like that."

Alan just lowered his head limp. He only wants to help his friend. He could not bear to see Natasha exhausted every day.

"Honey," Anjani called Alan, "mom knows your intentions are good, but our ability to help Natasha is only this limited. You'd better pray that Natasha is made easy by God and succeeds in adopting Bhara."

Alan only smiled slightly in response to his mother's words. It was true that he could help nothing for Natasya, other than to come find a job for the girl.

Johnathan, who sat next to Alan and saw his sibling, took the initiative to encourage him. He patted his sister's shoulder gently with a gentle smile.

"It is important that you have good intentions to help your friend. I am so proud of you" said Johnathan.

Alan also only replied with a smile. He did not feel relieved at all before actually finding a solution to help Natasya. Since the girl fainted this morning, Alan is increasingly worried about the condition of his best friend.
