Papa To Kirana

Chapter 17 The last warning

An hour later, I was in the hospital hallway. Walking back and forth in front of the emergency room installation door while holding Kirana. Alexa's in there being treated for her wound.

Kirana had been out of the doctor's office since. I asked the doctor to examine Kirana thoroughly, fearing that there was a deep wound or whatever.

Thankfully, the doctor stated Kirana was fine, only to be shocked by the incident.

Kirana is now clinging to my chest, still whining softly for pampering. I kissed Kirana's head.

And then came Rama who ran away to me. His breathing was stingy and he held both knees when he was in front of me.

After being able to catch his breath, Rama asked us about the accident.

I called Rama to the hospital and told him to come quickly.

“Kak Balin, is Kirana okay? Where is Alexa?” rama's voice was trembling.

“Kirana is fine, but Alexa is still inside,” I pointed to the IGD space using the tip of my chin.

“Thank God, then. I'm afraid Balin, Kirana and Kak Alexa have the exact same accident as Indra Irawan. But luckily everything is fine.”

Rama rubbed his chest while breathing out. “Only the injured Alexa? Is the wound severe?”

From Rama's words, I seemed to wake up. Could it be that Harsa did this? Does he know about his son's whereabouts?

My brain tried to play back the memory of the collision. I remember the truck had no license plate and the driver's face was also unclear.

If the driver of the truck is Harsa, how does he know where I am and Kirana is? Does he have a spy?

If so, I should be more vigilant with everyone around me.

My reflex kicked at the wall and was seen by Rama who was confused by my attitude. Kirana was crying as if she knew what I was feeling. I gently pat Kirana's back to keep her calm.

“No, Kirana. Papa is not angry at Kirana. Ssshhtt.”

Rama snorted as well as grinned, “Kakak this is-is-nothing anyway. Kick the walls of everything. If you want to be a football player... “

“Shut!” my shout cuts off Rama's words.

Then the IGD space opened, and Alexa emerged from behind the door. Alexa's elbows are wrapped in gauze. I can see some of Alexa's sleeves are stained with blood.

“Kak Alexa, how's the wound? Is it severe?”

“Yeah, passable. Six stitches,” said Alexa while showing her elbow, even so she kept a small laugh.

I digested Alexa's facial features and remembering these three months, Alexa always wanted to get close to Kirana, even though I always gave her a cold response.

Is he Harsa's accomplice monitoring my movements?

“Indeed how is the chronology of the incident until a collision can occur?”

Rama asked looking at me and Alexa alternately, “I saw Kak Balin's car in the parking lot earlier. Side door until dent so.”

“So when we passed a quiet t-junction there was a truck from the other direction and hit the side door of the car. Then the truck ran away,” said Alexa.

“Jeez, Brother Balin, who really dong if driving a car tuh. It's Alexa's sister wound up, right? Thankfully it was just a wound. If Kak Alexa to die, Kak Balin who must be responsible.”

I shake the head of Rama whose brain is the same as Alexa. Sok knows.

“That truck accidentally hit my car. After all, who told him to go shopping?”

Rama takes his eyes off me, choosing to chat with Alexa and ask Kirana for her position when the collision occurs.

Alexa replied that Kirana was on her lap. Then Rama patted Alexa's soft shoulder. Smiling showing his teeth. It was as if they did not consider my existence.

As if I were an invisible creature.

Alexa nodded and smiled.

“Kak Balin should also thank Sis Alexa. Don't tell me Brother hasn't said it?”

“Actually, Kirana will be safer if she sits in the car seat.” My word is cynical.

Glancing at Alexa who is down but does not show a sad or offended look.

I tried to swallow the fact that if only Kirana sat in the baby chair, not necessarily Kirana protected from glass fragments. I saw clearly, Alexa lowered her head to protect Kirana.

But I don't want to say thank you because Alexa will definitely feel great.

Rama realized the atmosphere would become more tense.

Then he distracts me by asking, “Now how, Brother? We go home now?”

“Wait! This is why I called you. I'll take care of the hospital administration. Meanwhile you, Rama, order a taxi, move my groceries, then you take my car to the workshop.”

I threw the keys to the car that Rama caught. Then step away.

After all the administrative and payment processes were sorted out, I found that the taxi Rama had booked was already in front of the hospital. Likewise with my groceries that have entered in the trunk of the taxi.

I did not see the figure of Rama in the front area of the hospital. Maybe he took my car to the garage first.

When I got into the taxi and sat in the back seat, there was Alexa who was already sitting sweetly in the front seat.

“Why are you coming? Get down there!”

“Balin, you drove away the cab driver?” joke Alexa.

“I kicked you out, Alexa Salma. Book your own taxi!”

“Why? We're one destination, aren't we?”

Alexa turned her face to the taxi driver and said, “Pak, I will pay double if you run the car now.”

“Pak, I will pay triple if you can make this girl get off the taxi,” I said do not want to lose. “If not, I will go down.”

The taxi driver glanced at me through the rearview mirror and I saw from the reflection of the glass, the taxi driver looked beaver and his thick mustache was moving.

“Sorry, Sir, Mom. If you want to fight mending both just get off my taxi,” snapped the taxi driver who was surprised by the behavior of both of us.

However, not waiting for us to get off, the taxi driver was immediately gas.

 ***

The taxi driver left us after helping me drop off my groceries. I was about to go into the house but stopped. Turn around to call Alexa who will also enter the house.

Alexa approached the fence that was separating my house and her.

“I say once again. This is my last warning. Never approach Kirana again!”

“It's wrong me what?” ask Alexa with her money.

“I hate you, you know-it-your-be-neighbor, you're smart-ass, and you're meddling in other people's business. ”

I saw Alexa's facial expression suddenly change. But I didn't care, I left Alexa alone pensive.
