Chapter 2
Malaika who was sleeping was interrupted by the sound of a phone ringing. With his eyes still closed, he reached his hand towards the small table beside the bed.
"Assalamualaikum," greeted Aisyah without seeing who was contacting her.
^^^"Good night, Miss Malaika. Me, Jonathan," replied the man over there.^^^
Jonathan is a security guard who is on duty in the apartment where Naresh lives today. They know well, because Malika often comes to the apartment owned by her boss to deliver or bring files belonging to the company leader of PT. ALPHA is engaged in fast moving consumer good (FMCG). Companies that make various products for the daily needs of the community. Among them: household products and toiletries.
"Yes, what's wrong?" Malaika is now sitting awake.
^^^"Mr Naresh had an accident, now he is in the hospital," Jonathan said with a bit of excitement.^^^
"What's? Astarghfirullahal. How could that happen. An hour and a half ago he was still calling me."
^^^" Mr. Naresh's car exploded and he suffered a head wound. Cctv recorded that the car exploded after Mr. Naresh got out of the car."^^^
"Oh my God, I hope Mr. Naresh is okay."
Malaika is worried, currently the grandmother is sleeping soundly after taking painkillers. The old woman complained of pain in her injured head and also all over her body.
Meanwhile, her boss, who lives in exile by her family, is lying in the hospital. Malaika was sure that no one from the male family would come to visit her to the hospital.
"Oh my God, how is this? What am I supposed to do?" Malaika sat beside the bed where Grandma Romlah lay.
The orphan girl did not have the heart to leave the grandmother who is now wrapped in bandages in some parts of the old body. The old woman was the only family she had.
"I ask the Goddess to take care of Grandma. I give him a wage later," said Malaika as she rushed to the next house looking for the girl who was still sitting in the High School chair.

Malaika ran in the corridors of the largest and most famous private hospital there. He came to the room where Naresh was being treated. As soon as the door opened, the boss, who usually likes to rule, was now lying weakly with a nebulizer mask on his face.
Naresh's head was wrapped in gauze and many scratches on his sturdy arm. Slowly Malaika touched the man's finger.
"Who did this to you? I've told you over and over again, it's best to have a bodyguard to protect yourself. Then, move residence. Many people want to harm you" Malaika said softly.
Malaika and Naresh have known since a long time ago while still sitting in high school. They were once students who attended a student exchange program to Australia. Since then they have been friends and exchanged news via email.
Naresh's miserable life made the girl pity and was always a place to pour out her heart.
At midnight a nurse checked Naresh's condition, but there has been no progress since. This makes Malaika even sadder. Her tears flowed nonstop.
'Why is your life always poor? Why do you work hard for the sake of people who never assume your existence. It's a shame your life, Naresh. Worse than me!' (Malaika)
The voice from the media tool broke the silence there. For the first time, Malaika was happy to hear the sound produced by the patient monitor. Screenshots and graph lines measure vital signs on Naresh's body. The sound indicates that the man is still alive.

Early in the morning Naresh woke up to hear the voice of the people teaching. When he opened his eyes, Malaika was sitting next to the gurney holding a cell phone. His mouth seemed to move his voice sounded slurred, but the girl was so close.
The woman called by her name turned towards the source of the voice. A wide smile immediately adorned the face of Malaika. He was very happy to see the man finally come to his senses.
"Sir President, you finally wake up," said Malaika and she immediately pressed the nurse bell button.
"Can you recognize who I am?" the woman was afraid that her boss had amnesia.
"My car blew up, not a fall in the bathroom" Naresh replied, not following the question the secretary asked him.
Malaika was stunned to hear the reply from the man who was lying down. He felt that there was something strange about his superior.
"President, which part of the body is sick?" ask Malaika to test. If there's something wrong with the head.
"The car exploded after I got out of the car after talking to you last night. Not because of the fall" answered Naresh.
'Astaghfirullahal'adhim. Oh God, it turns out that Naresh is really in a bad state right now. Brain trouble.'
Not long after that the doctor came there and checked on Naresh. He saw that everything was in good condition.
"If you are able to walk firmly and as usual, it means you do not have to worry. After that you can go home. Maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow you can go home" said the doctor.
"Are my wounds so bad I can't go home?" naresh asked and it left the doctor and Malaika dumbfounded.
The doctor glanced towards Malaika. He looked as if he were saying "What's wrong with Mr. Naresh?"
"So, you better check all the contents of his head. Since then he was spoken often not connect, like a Budeg. Uh?"
Malaika and the doctor looked at each other again.
"Sir, we do the examination to ENT," continued the Doctor.

After the examination, it was discovered that there was a problem with Naresh's part of the auditory canal. It may be the result of the loud sound of the explosion.
"Will Mr Naresh be like this forever?" malaika asked with a soft look.
"I think it's still treatable. With the right treatment and the right dose of medication, the hearing will recover" replied the ear specialist.
Hearing that made Malaika happy. No one could imagine Naresh's life after this. Take care of the company with limited hearing.
Malaika also explained to Naserh through writing so as not to be wrong and do not need to repeat his words.
'Who is the one who did this to me? I will hold him responsible for all the losses I am feeling right now!' (Narrish)

Who was behind the Naresh accident? His family or business rivals? Why did Naresh get no-holds treatment from his family? Wait for it to go, yeah!
