Real Or Fake

BROF #41

Mikael keeps seeing Gladys, who is tidying up the documents on his desk and turning off the laptop. He then realized that Gladys was preparing to go home, with a flash he neatly arranged the folder map on his desk and turned off the laptop and picked up the bag and suit hanging.

Mikael out of his room.

"You want to go home?" Ask Mikael the answer he himself already knows.

"Yes, sister Mika." Gladys replied while taking his bag.

"I happen to want to go home too, I'll take you with me." Mikael.

"No, Mika, I go home on a bumpkin."

"It's late, it's not good for women to go home alone."

Mikael saw Gladys lips open, the woman was about to speak. It was stopped by Mikael.

"I don't accept objections."

Gladys had to obey Mikael.

The employees had gone home and were just the two of them.

Gladys pressed the button next to the elevator.

When the elevator doors opened, they stepped in.

The elevator is now heading to the ground floor. But suddenly the elevator stopped and everything went dark inside the narrow room.

"Why?" Gladys asked, starting to panic.

Mikael just fell silent, his hands and feet began to ache and tingle. Wanting to feel he opened the elevator door forcibly to get out but his strength began to disappear changed with fear.

Mikael leaned his body against the iron wall of the elevator and now his legs were unable to support his weight, he immediately collapsed to the floor while holding his chest that felt tight and his heart was beating irregularly.

Gladys who realized that Mikael was sitting right next to her sat right next to Mikael and held Mikael's cold hand.

"Sister Mika, isn't Mika a father?" Gladys panicked. He then turned on the flashlight on his phone to see Mikael's condition.

How shocked Gladys was when he saw Mikael drooping, Mikael's whole body breaking out in cold sweat.

"Son Mika survived Brother." Gladys. Gladys slid Mikael's head onto his shoulder in the hope that Mikael could feel a little calm.

Gladys recalled the notebook Teddy gave him on his first day at work.

Looks like nyctophobia⁷ disease The boss relapsed, Gladys thought.

"Now what should I do?" Gladys murmured, his tears starting to wet his cheeks. He looked at his phone and hoped there was a signal even if it was in line but the signal was not at all in the elevator, he wanted to call someone to ask for help.

"Sister Mika survives, soon the lights will light up." Gladys tried to calm Mikael down. Gladys held onto Mikael's hand

"Sa.ya. Sa..ya wants to go to..outside." Mikael said breathlessly.

"Sister Mika don't have to be afraid, I'm here. I'll protect Brother Mika." Gladys was getting more panicked and agitated. He tightened his arms to Mikael.

After a few minutes the lights came back on. Gladys leaned Mikael's body against the elevator wall and stood up to push the button next to the elevator door. No waiting for the elevator door to open.

"Son Mika the lights are on." He helps Mikael to stand up. But Mikael was still unable to stand, his legs still limp.

Laying Mikael began to regulate his breathing which still felt tight.

"Sister Mika can you hear me?" Ask Gladys.

Mikael looked towards Gladys then held the woman's palm tightly.

"Ka...you say.ngis?" Mikael asked and instantly his consciousness disappeared.

***

Mikael berahan opened his eyes and he only saw the ceiling of the room was white and smelled the typical aroma of the hospital

His right hand felt sore, he also felt that someone was holding his palm.

Mikael lifted his head and saw a sleeping woman in a sitting position and the woman's hand became a pillow to support her head.

Mikael smiled to see who the woman was.

With his left hand, he gently rubbed the woman's head.

Gladys who was feeling piqued with the elusan in his head instantly woke up.

"Sir Mika is conscious?" Gladys asked because he saw Mikael who had woken up. His hands felt tingling due to the overflow of his head overnight.

"I'll call the doctor first." Said Gladys who was about to stand but his hand was held back by Mikael.

Suddenly the door of the ward opened.

"Sir Mika has finally come to her senses." Said Teddy glad who just came in.

"Teddy I want out now." Mikael's orders.

"Good sir. I'll take care of it."

"But Teddy, Mika's sister needs to be checked with the doctor first." Gladys.

"Long live doctor." Said Teddy who was looking at the door.

***

"Where's doc?" Gladys asked when she saw the doctor who had just finished examining Mikael.

"Mikael can go home." Doctor Hendra said.

Hendra is a specialist psychologist and is Mikael's personal doctor who deals with the disease of Nyctophobia experienced by Mikael.

"It's good that it is." Gladys.

"If you'll excuse me first." Said Dr. Hendra who had finished removing the infusion in Mikael's hand and left the three of them.

"Sir Mika I go to the administration first." Teddy said then stepped out of the ward.

"Now have you heard yourself?" Ask Mikael

Gladys did not respond to Mikael's question, he simply took Mikael's clothes he had hung last night.

"Now you change clothes, I wait outside." Gladys then left Mikael alone.

Mikael smiled happily. He recalled last night, Gladys who kept holding him in the elevator and also kept him overnight in the hospital.

***

Mikael had finished changing clothes, he stepped out of the wardrobe. However, they did not find Gladys.

"Sir Mika wants to go back?" Teddy approached Mikael.

"Where's gladys?" Ask Mikael who doesn't care about Teddy's question.

"He's gone, he said Mr. Mika should rest first do not need to go to the office." Answer Teddy.

"Where's he going?" Ask Mikael coldly.

Teddy scratched his head that didn't itch. "Once but he looked hurried" he replied.

"Gladys Basin. He said he was gonna wait for me, now he's gone." Mikael's mind is upset.

"Now I want to go to the bath, I'm going to the office today." Mikael then walked away from Teddy.

Teddy who was left behind quickly chased after his Boss. "But sir said Gladys sir Mika should take a break today." Said Teddy who tried to adjust his pace with Mikael who walked fast.

"Boss you me or him?" Jerky Mikael.
