Papa To Kirana

Chapter 56 Self-Defense

Slowly my eyes opened, however, my vision blurred as I looked at where I was now. I closed my eyes for a moment and opened them again. Then I spread my eyes around.

Being in a white room, I can guess now I am in the hospital room VVIP.

I rubbed the bandage around my head, and at that moment I realized my hand was being infused.

Then my gaze fell on someone who was asleep in a chair with his head resting on the edge of the bed.

“Alexa,” call me in a soft voice.

The girl did not open her eyes and was still asleep. My hand rubbed the soft end of his head.

“You must be exhausted,” my murmur.

Soon the door of the room opened, and I saw my father coming in with a cup of coffee and a newspaper stuck in his armpit.

My father showed no signs of surprise when he found his eldest son had muttered.

“You're up, son?” he then sipped coffee and placed it on the table.

That's how my father is. Relax in all situations. But I knew very well how much my father loved me and Rama. It's just that the way it's expressed is different from others.

“Mr, please wake Alexa. Tell him to sleep on the sofa there,” I said pointing to the long sofa that was in the corner of the room.

“Bapak has told him several times but never obeyed. He never got out of that chair.”

“How long have I been in the hospital, Sir?”

My father frowned, “Two days, maybe.”

“Really? Then where is Kirana now?” tanyaku.

“Kirana is fine. She's with Mom at home.”

My father flinched as if remembering something forgetfulness, “Ah, I forgot earlier did not buy a snack. Indeed age factor.”

I just smiled looking at my father's back who stepped across the room and disappeared behind the door.

Then, my attention was again focused on Alexa. The girl muttered indistinctly and slowly her eyelids opened. Showing a beautiful pair of shiny black beads.

My lips curled up a smile as Alexa straightened her seat. He rubbed his eyes several times, as if unsure of what he was looking at.

“Balin, finally you wake up too.”

“There is a drool on your cheek,” I said pointing to Alexa's cheek that immediately wiped the cheek up to the bottom of the chin.

“Mana?”

“But lie.”

Alexa widened her angry eyes, pinched my arm and I acted in pain. His face looked panicked but instantly vanished from seeing me chuckle.

“You are new as well, immediately make a tantrum. Fainted again there!”

Alexa pressed her lips and folded her hands together.

“I'm sorry, my dear,” I said as I pinched her nose.

“You have nothing to hurt?”

I gave a smile and breathed a sigh of relief as Alexa shook her head. Then my hand rubbed the tip of his head, remembering how Harsa grabbed and pulled Alexa's beautiful hair.

“I phone Mom huh? You must be eager to see Kirana, right?”

Alexa grabbed the phone and her fingers were flickering pressing the thin object screen. We both waited for a while for Mom to pick up the call across there.

It didn't take long, Alexa's phone screen turned on Mom's face that looked so relieved to hear I had regained consciousness. Netra Mother blinked a few times. Signs that Mom is holding back tears.

Then the phone screen turned towards Kirana who was playing a puzzle accompanied by Rama. Kirana ran over, and now her round face filled the phone screen.

“Kangen Papa.”

I put on a smile, “Papa also miss Kirana.”

There were whispers of Rama teaching Kirana to speak.

“Papa.. quickly recover.”

“Iya, Dear Kirana. Papa will try to recover quickly so that he can meet Kirana again.”

“Tell to Papa, I love you,” vaguely Rama leads Kirana to speak.

“Papa... I love you.”

“I love you too, Kirana.”

“Kirana, talk to Papa, say I love you also to Aunty Alexa,” whispered Rama.

“Rama, don't teach Kirana a no-no!” I snapped which then glanced awkwardly at Alexa.

“Let's Papa call again. Papa should be examined first the same Om Doctor.”

“Papa's container,” Kirana waves very cheerfully.

“Bye bye, Kirana. Don't be fussy, huh? Papa will definitely be home soon kok.”

In the afternoon, I was bored in the hospital. My father just waits off guard, let alone me being a patient. My dad is out there looking for some fresh air.

While I remained bedridden, with my mind constantly thinking about Kirana at home.

Although my dad and Alexa said Kirana was fine, but I wanted to make sure myself. Harsa's abduction must have left Kirana traumatized.

Alexa keeps complaining because I don't eat my lunch. She was like Mom when I went on hunger strike as a kid.

“I want to call Kirana again,” said I grabbed the phone on the nightstand.

However, when my finger was ready to suppress the call, it was also when my gaze died. I sighed in frustration, and threw the sophisticated object back on the nightstand.

“Let me charge. Meanwhile, you eat first.”

“What should Kirana tell me to come here?”

“Better do not bring healthy young children to the hospital. Because their endurance is not the same as adults.”

Alexa stared fixedly at me, one hand stuck to my cheek. Then her lips curled up a smile.

“You must recover quickly in order to meet again with Kirana.”

“Kiss me for a quick cure!” I said tease Alexa.

Alexa seemed to swallow her saliva heavily, her eyes hesitating, but slowly she approached eroding the distance between us.

While I close my eyes, wait for a kiss from Alexa and...

Geck... Geck... Geck...

The knocking of the door made us gasp, Alexa immediately moved away from me, she walked to open the door, leaving me grumbling as a result of failing to get a kiss.

Who actually came to disturb?

“Cindy, Frans,” says Alexa greets two people standing in the doorway. “Please enter.”

As the two men stepped closer to me, I saw Cindy's hand twitching in Frans's arm.

“How are you doing, Balin?” ask Frans.

I nodded, “Ya, quite improved.”

“Do you know that Harsa... “

Cindy's words were cut by Alexa immediately patting her shoulder. Cindy looked at Alexa who shook her head slowly.

“Harsa why?” I scrunched my forehead, confused by Cindy's intentions. Then I looked at Frans and Alexa alternately asking for an explanation from them.

“Why are you quiet? Tell Harsa why? He's been in jail, right?” i exclaimed.

The three people in front of me fell silent, they looked at each other in fear. Frans took a deep breath and opened his mouth to speak.

“Balin, on that night the police only arrested five of Harsa's men and one of his secretaries named Leo.”

“No! No way,” I argue. “Why can't the police arrest Harsa? I saw for myself he was trapped in a blaze.”

“There is a possibility that Harsa escaped through the back door of the house, Balin, and he fled towards the forest,” Cindy said.

“What? Damnit. In that case, I should have killed him that very night,” my wrath squeezed the blanket.

Alexa approached she clasped both of my hands still squeezing the blanket firmly.

“Balin, relax first,” says Alexa.

“Alexa, why didn't you tell me earlier that Harsa managed to escape?”

“I deliberately delayed telling you all this, Balin. I want you to focus on your health first.”

“But Harsa escaped. Now that he is still roaming freely out there,” I said with full anger.

“Iya, I know but are you going to catch Harsa with conditions like this?” alexa who does not want to lose.

Frans mediated us, put his hand on my shoulder, and patted to calm me down.

“What Alexa says is true, Balin. At least now Harsa has become a police fugitive.”

My head bowed, my breathing grew faster, and there was a sound of teeth grinding.

“I won't let him hurt Kirana again.”
