Pursuing My Love of Hands

Malik's Decision

"You just wait here, let me get you some medicine," for seeing Mara having so much trouble walking, while the pharmacy they're heading to is still quite far away, Byan asks Mara to sit waiting for him in a waiting chair in the hospital hallway.

"No, I don't want to trouble you anymore" Mara rejected Byan's offer. He did not want to depend on others, especially Byan was not who he was.

"I do not feel bothered, Mara," replied Byan still with a step slowly memapah Mara.

"I can walk, if you can't wait to get me, you better go first!"

Mara's words sounded bad in Byan's ears. But Byan did not take heart, spicy speech is better than having to see Mara not talking at all.

"Do you want me to carry?"

"Don't be crazy, Mum. This is a hospital!" Mara started to bully her eyes wide. He looked at Byan who was now starting to suck again.

"That means if it's not in the hospital, you want it?" Byan gave a smile after seeing Mara's face getting upset. He also remembers holding Mara's body last night.

"I'm sorry!"

"I'm sorry why?" Byan didn't understand what Mara meant this time. In fact, he did not say anything that was on his mind at the moment.

Mara did not answer, she chose silence rather than having to hear annoying words from Byan's mouth.

"I was walking with a statue" said Byan who could still be heard by Mara's ears.

Mara still held back her emotions, she remained silent and did not want to make a sound. For him, silence was the best option at the moment.

Until it was not felt, Byan and Mara also arrived at the hospital pharmacy. It just so happened that it was still morning, so there were not many patients in line, there were only a few people.

Mara sat her butt in the chair, and Byan sat right next to her. As Mara sat down, suddenly her prescription medicine paper dropped. He wanted to lower his body a little and hold on to Byan's arm.

"A-aw!" Byan was in pain when his arm was held by Mara. Especially on his injured right arm. But he tried to endure the pain so that Mara did not see how ugly her face was when she was moaning.

Mara turned her head, she saw Byan was now grimacing like someone who was enduring pain. Mara let go of Byan's arm which she accidentally made the handle earlier, she noticed Byan who just kept holding her arm.

Mara still wanted to be silent, but it seemed like she had to open her voice as she looked at Byan with a reddened face as if enduring the pain.

"Is he really in pain? Argh, he was just petting me, he must be acting to get me to open my voice, "Mara is monologuing in my heart.

He also chose not to care about Byan, he chose to hand over the medicine paper to the pharmacist who was on duty.

After that he came back again, but he sat not close to Byan. He chose to sit in a chair that was far away from Byan.

Byan who saw Mara had already moved away from him could do nothing. Because he was still moaning in pain, even he could not bear to immediately take the medicine so that the pain was soon gone.

After a few minutes, the name Byan was called. Mara notices an explanation from the Pharmacist that suggests some medicine for Byan.

"A lot of drugs that he received? Is he really sick?" Mara kept a variety of assumptions that she could not have guessed.

"But what pain is he? Did Dr Adryan say he was hurt? Arm part?" Suddenly Mara's eyes smashed, at that moment Byan also approached her.

"Mara, your name hasn't been called yet?" Ask Byan by sitting next to Mara.

Mara was silent, before long her name was called. And he only got two types of drugs from Pharmacists. Unlike Byan, the medicine is so much. He wanted to ask the Pharmacist about Byan's pain. But he brushed it all off, according to him it was none of his business.

After he turned around, he did not find Byan's whereabouts. Mara dizzy looking for Byan to come here and there. He also asked someone.

"Sorry, Mom. Did you see where that guy was with me?"

"Oh, he walks towards the cafeteria" said the friendly-faced mothers.

"Imacute, Mom," said Mara politely.

Not delaying any more, Mara also immediately headed to the hospital cafeteria which was not far from the pharmacy. Mara looked at every corner of the canteen and sure enough, she could see Byan sitting in the corner there.

Mara also approached Byan, after a short distance he saw Byan was opening some kind of medicine that he had received. Mara could see clearly, even she could count the number of medicines that Byan opened one by one.

"One, two, three, four, five, six" Mara was surprised, those six medicines were quite a lot to her. Moreover, some of the pills were so large and colorful.

Byan was not aware of Mara's whereabouts, he was still seriously staring at the medicine that was now in his palm. But one thing he loves. He forgot to buy mineral water.

"Oh my God, do I have to swallow all these pills bitterly without water?"

As he was about to move from his seat to buy mineral water, someone came by putting a bottle of water he needed on the table.

Byan smiled, knowing who had come to give him a bottle of water.

"Here," Mara handed a bottle of mineral water to Byan.

"You are very understanding" Byan tried to reach for the water bottle, but he was confused when his hand was about to open the bottle cap because one of his hands was holding some pills that he had opened.

Byan was self-defeating, there was no way he could open the water bottle with one hand. Although his strength is quite strong, but he thinks it will be difficult.

"How can I ..."

Mara knew what Byan was thinking, she immediately took the water bottle and opened it for Byan.

"Impressively," Byan took the pill at once with a feeling of relief. Although it felt a little bitter, at least he could see the face of Mara accompanying him at this moment.

Seeing Byan taking so much medicine at once, Mara was surprised, even she could not afford to be Byan.

"Are you sick?"

"No!" Replied Byan firmly.

"You're still joking" Mara felt Byan had not changed. He's still the annoying Byan.

"Mas, are you sick?"

"No, Mara," replied Byan still covering up.

"God! I'm a fool, if you're not sick for what you're going to the hospital and taking that many pills!" Mara cursed to herself, why she thought so narrowly.

"Mara, I was only slightly injured," Byan spread his sweet smile towards Mara. Her heart was delighted, this time Mara was so worried about her situation. Is it possible that Mara has already started to care about him??

"Open? Where's where?" Ask Mara curious.

"In si-ni!" Byan pointed at the area his heart was in. In his face adhering to the shahdu face of his ex-wife who so hypnotized him.

"Ck! Try to be serious, Mr. Byan!" Mara now began to show her horns that had begun to appear above the head.

"Yes, if you're okay. I'm just afraid you got hurt for helping me last night, I don't want to deal with the cops anymore,"

"Police?" Byan doesn't understand why Mara brought the police into their conversation.

"Yes, I'm afraid you're gonna report me to the police, and maybe I'm gonna go in jail,"

Byan knows which way Mara is talking, she must have discussed her past first. Byan bowed lethargic if he remembered the things he had done first. But that was before, he couldn't have reported Mara to the police right now. There he instead asked some of his men, to look for the whereabouts of the four men who last night disturbed Mara.

There was not the slightest bad intention from Byan, he approached and even helped Mara with sincere feelings.

"Mara, you'd better get home soon, because I'm going home, too" Byan wasn't as bright as earlier, his face this time looking lethargic until Mara felt guilty. He shouldn't have offended his past, no matter how bad it was he shouldn't have acted this way.

Mara did not want to answer anything, she just nodded her head slowly.

"I went home first," unlike earlier who dared to act, Byan this time seemed to keep more distance from Mara. He said goodbye only by concluding his barely visible smile.

"Is Byan angry with me? Oh my God, is this saying so painful?"

Mara could only silently look at the behavior of Byan who suddenly turned one hundred and eighty degrees, he walked limped towards the car park, he was in the direction of the car park, but he forgot because he remembered this morning he came to the hospital by taxi.

"Geez!" Mara patted her own forehead, it was fitting that she did not find the whereabouts of her car in the hospital parking area.

From inside the car, Byan can see Mara who is now standing as if confused. He wanted to approach Mara, but his heart was still unable to face Mara.

"It looks like Mara really hates me, do I have to give up?" Byan was still looking at Mara from a distance. Until he saw a taxi coming and Mara took the taxi.

"It turns out he did not bring a car," Byan drove his car to the office. If he escorts Mara, then Mara will definitely refuse him outright. It is better to give Mara time this time, because she herself also needs time to just clear her mind.

...****************...

"Samuel" called Malik to the man whom Sam often called.

"Yes, sir," Sam approached towards Malik.

"Give me the report I asked for yesterday,"

"This, sir," Sam gave Malik some important company reports.

In detail and detail, Malik examines the report of the company now led by Byan. It turned out that the results were quite good and satisfying. Byan is able to lead this company without defects, even arguably growing rapidly.

"What should I do to separate him from Mara," Malik massaged his throbbing forehead. He had now run out of sense to make Byan give up.

"Sir, is there something wrong?" Seeing that his Master was now looking anxious, Sam tried to offer a favor.

"Sam, tell me, does Byan have a loophole?"

"What does Father mean?" Sam was confused, according to him Byan did not have the slightest gap. Even Byan always made it a joke.

"Sir Byan has no gaps or disabilities in his work" continued Sam again with a feeling of fear. Afraid of saying it wrong, afraid Malik would scold him.

"Are you defending him? Or are you covering up his mistakes? You bribed?"

Sam's words were an honesty, but Malik judged it negative. Which Sam loves, why is Malik so curbed Byan who is clearly his own biological son. Until now Sam is still confused.

"Sir, I'm sorry I've been honest," it's impossible for Sam to slander Byan. Although Byan always hired him as he wanted, but Byan really understood how the condition of his subordinates.

"What do you think if I send Byan to a branch in Papua?"

"A-what????" Sam's surprised. Whatever his attitude towards him, he felt he could not accept that Byan would be sent to a branch of the company in Papua. He also did not want the fierce Malik to take over the leadership of Byan. It could run out if the company is led back by Malik. The entire contents will probably move to a desert that feels hot and arid.

"You surprised? You don't take it?" Tanya Malik looked at Sam with emphasis.

"Sir, if Mr. Byan is sent to Papua, who will lead the company here?"

"You!" Malik replied without further ado.

"Sir, how is that possible?"

Sam still can't believe, I don't know what Malik's real purpose is. He felt really surprised and confused.

"This company is doing well not because of Byan, but you are also participating in it. If not for you, surely this company would not have advanced as it is now! Just look, in this afternoon he's still playing outside and hasn't come yet!"

Malik explained at length, still he was looking for Byan's weakness. Without realizing it, from outside Byan was listening to his conversation with Sam since a few minutes ago.

Byan felt disappointed, even this disappointment was doubled. When he found out Malik did not believe in his hard work so far, his efforts were never appreciated by Malik. What has he considered his struggle so far??

"Am I going to Papua?" Byan did not want to hold back anymore, he entered with his feelings of disappointment.

"Sir, Byan?" Sam bowed lethargic, unable to look at his face.

"Well, you just arrived at the office? Early in the morning, you were out of the house. Is this your job all along??" Malik reviled Byan with a few questions. He looked at Byan lightly, he guessed that Byan must have run out to meet Mara.

"If Abi really wants to send me to Papua, please! But it won't change anything, won't relax my intention in the slightest to continue chasing after Mara!" Byan doesn't want to give up. The more Malik threatened, the more challenged he became.

BRAKKKKK!!!

"Dyan!!!!" Malik kicked the table hard.

"Abi or Umi until now never said a clear reason why Byan should stay away from Mara? All you're doing is asking Byan to obey that senseless wish!"

Byan again vented all his heart. He said this time was the right time. If later he will be transferred to Papua or where it is, he does not care anymore. Just the same, Malik never appreciated his hard work so far.

"You are a dissident! From tomorrow, you're out of here, and you're being moved to Papua!"

Byan did not answer anything, along with his disappointment he left the office area.

"Sir, Byan!!" Sam tries to prevent Byan's departure. Malik banned it.

"Just let the dissident's son go, Sam!!"

Sam could not do anything about the mistake he is going through right now. On the one hand he did not want to be abandoned by his cold superiors, on the other he could not deny the orders of his great Boss.

"Simalakama" Sam could only bow in lethargy, waiting for Malik to calm himself down.

For Malik this is his toughest decision, but he has no other way. For a while let Byan get away from this city in order to get away from Mara.

Byan accepts Malik's challenge, he is not afraid to face anything in this world. But his mind is Star. How could he live without Star?
