Real Or Fake

BROF #63

Mikael continued to watch Gladys, it was obvious that this woman before him was agitated and worried. Gladys continued to pinch the back of his hand until the redness clearly visible to Mikael, let alone the color of Gladys' white skin added a clear red color on the back of his hand.

"Is the back of your hand not painful?" Ask Mikael.

"aa... Yes Sir." Gladys was surprised to hear his Boss question, He immediately saw the back of his hand which he unconsciously kept pinching.either when Gladys began to have the habit of pinching the back of his own hand.

Gladys covered the back of his hand with his other.

"So how's Mika, can I take a leave of absence?" Ask Gladys slowly.

"What's the reason you asked for leave?"

Gladys gave him two pieces of paper that he had been holding.

"This is my leave form sir."

"Stop calling me sir." Said Mikael ketus then took 2 sheets of paper given by Gladys earlier, he began to read the contents of the form.

"Keep a friend in the hospital? Why should you take care? Don't your friends have any relatives to look after him?"

"He has a family. This friend of mine just realized from the coma of Kak Mika and I also promised to take care of her, count to let go of our longing." Gladys replied that he was lying if the person he was going to take care of was his friend.

"Male or forging?" Ask Mikael who is like a parent who asks his son's girlfriend.

If Gladys answers to a man, it is likely that Mikael will not allow it because in the written contract the second party must not be close to other men. Thought Gladys.

"Woman." replied Gladys lying.

Mikael improved his sitting position to make it more comfortable.

"Ok I'll sign on this form but there's a condition."

Gladys was wide open to hear it. "What are the conditions, sister Mika?" Ask.

"You should call me at lunch and dinner."

"But what's Mika for?" Ask Gladys in wonder.

"To ask what I want to eat and you have to take care of it."

"But how is it, brother?" Gladys became confused by the terms proposed by his Boss.

"I can order online or tell Teddy to buy it. But if you don't want it, I'm not signing this form." Mikael said while holding 2 pieces of paper in his hand.

"Ok deal." Gladys said quickly before his Boss changed his mind.

"Why should this serepot anyway? Kak Mika calls Teddy to take care of lunch and dinner, why should I try." Maki Gladys in her heart while looking at her Boss who is signing her cut form as a sign if Mikael approves of Gladys leave.

Mikael deliberately gave Gladys that condition, so that he could hear the woman's voice and find out that Gladys was fine.

Flashback off

***

"Where is the dakjuknya? Yummy?" Gladys asked as he saw Leon had put the first mouthful into his mouth.

"Indeed, when did your cooking not taste good?" Praise Leon.

Gladys smiled happily at Leon's praise, for a long time Gladys had not heard that praise from Leon.

"Aren't you eating?" Ask Leon.

"I had eaten in the apartment before coming here" Gladys replied.

"God, I almost forgot." Inner Gladys.

"Leon eats himself, doesn't he? I'm out for a minute." Gladys.

"Where are you going?"

"I. I want to call a friend first. I have something to tell you about the work." Answer Gladya origin.

"Said you didn't think about your work because you were on leave." Said Leon who felt suspicious of Gladys. He felt that Gladys was lying to him. But he tried to shake his mind.

"I forgot."

"Don't be gone for long." Said Leon who clasped Gladys' hand and took it off.

Somehow Leon felt unwilling to let Gladys go even though he knew Gladys was just going to call his coworkers.

"Yes." Yeah." Gladys walked out of the patient room.

Leon continued to look at Gladys until the woman's silhouette was no longer visible from his sight.

***

After pressing the screen, Gladys placed the flat object on the ear.

"Hello." Gladys

"What time is it now? What did you do until you forgot to call me?" Mikael asked as soon as he picked up the phone from Gladys.

"Sorry Brother Mika I took care of my friend's lunch first." Gladys couldn't be honest with Mikael if he forgot to call her. Could rage.

"For now I won't take issue with it but if this happens again, you have to bear the consequences." Mikael said.

"Good Sister Mika. Now what does Mika want for lunch? Let me order." Gladys.

"Message me rice paddies. But remember it has to be at the restaurant where we ate first." Mikael said coldly.

"Good sister Mika."

Phone connection disconnected.

Gladys immediately ordered Mikael's requested food menu online.

Finished ordering, Gladys returned to Leon's nursery.

"Where? Did you call your coworker?" Leon asked as soon as he saw Gladys entering his ward.

"Udah." Answer Gladys.

"Why isn't the food finished?" Gladys asked as he looked at the contents of the bushel that Leon had placed on the bedside table.

"Booking." Lirih Leon's.

"Since when have you been spoiled?" Gladys Ledek.

"Since now." Answer Leon origin.

Gladys smiled at his lover, he took a bushel from Leon and began to feed Leon.

Suddenly the sound of the outpatient room door opening made the two of them turn to the source of the sound.

Sure enough, from behind the door appeared a figure of the woman who was most reluctant Gladys after his halmeoni in Korea.

(Halmeoni is the nickname of grandmother in Korean)

Immediately Gladys became gripped to see the figure who stepped closer to them.

"Good day Aunt Lina." Sapa Gladys who was trying to be relaxed.

Instead of replying to Gladys greeting, Lina just glanced at Gladys for a moment.

"Darling how you are doing now? Is it better?" Lina asked softly to her son.

"Yes Ma. I feel good. Then Mama calm down, there will be Gladys who take care of me so Mama can focus on keeping papa." Answer Leon.

"It's good that that's it. Here's Mama bring your favorite hamburger food, mama stopped by your shop at Mama's favorite restaurant." Lina said then took out a package of food from a plastic bag in her carry.

"Sorry Aunt Lina but I think Leon should eat healthy first." Gladys said slowly.

"So you mean that the food I bring to my child is not healthy?" Snap Lina.

"If you talk to her on that cake, you can scare Gladys. Gladys doesn't mean that. Now my recovery period so it would be nice if I did not eat junk food first." Obviously Leon.

"Why did you believe him? he made you come to be like this. You have to remember that."

"Don't start yet." Said Leon who began to growl at his mother.

"As far as you." Said Lina cynically.

Lina brought her face closer to Gladys ears.

"You'll regret not having complied with my desire to stay away from my son." Whispered Lina who was in the air with a cynical smile at Gladys then stepped towards the exit leaving the two of them.

"You're not talking? What did Mama whisper to you?"

"I'm not papa. Aunt Lina just told me to take good care of you." replied Gladys lying.

"I know you're lying, baby." Leon said in his heart, he felt sorry for the woman he loved.
