Secretly Loving You's

Ch 81 - [POV Author] Heartbroken

Hearing the news of the fire made Saka unsettled. His body was in Surabaya, but his mind was in Jember. He was worried about Arsha. Many times he cursed in his heart, why should there be this bad incident when he was away from Arsha?

Saka was attending an important meeting with the higher-ups. He who is in the intel unit conducts discussions about the area of operation and surveillance of intelligence activities for territorial interests.

From morning Saka had contacted Arsha. At first, the message still got a reply. By noon, the message had already ticked one. Saka is still trying to think positively. Maybe Arsha's phone is running out of power. But the anxiety was increasing along with the message that never sent.

Having no other choice, Saka calls Arsha's friend's number. It was seen that Weird kept Arsha's friend's number without her knowledge but it could be used at times like this.

From Temen Arsha, Saka became aware of what was happening at the moment. It was as if he had heard the news that the territory was in danger. Surprising, but still trying to calm down and think clearly.

"How is he doing?"

"Arsha and Mr. Armand have been taken to Mas Hospital."

"Armand's? Why was he taken to the hospital?"

"Sir Armand was in Nolongin Arsha. He is even more wounded. Yes, my mom, me and my friends are going to the hospital first."

The last part of the message was read repeatedly. Saka was a little relieved, knowing Arsha was handled. But knowing that the man who sacrificed for Arsha caused a feeling of unwillingness. Saka felt indebted.

Saka does not know Arsha's feelings or that man. In terms of taking heart, it could be said that he was far behind. Arsha's heart was already filled with Armand. But at least he won in many ways. For example, in terms of status. He's still single. I don't have a pregnant wife to take care of. That's the biggest barrier for them to be together.

"Is there anything that bothers you?" There was a voice coming from the back. Saka immediately put on a standby pose. It turned out that the one approaching was his fellow friend.

In the middle of the meeting, Saka was granted permission to go to the toilet for a while - even though he had no interest there. The goal is to read and reply to messages from Arsha's friends.

"I saw your face from earlier like a confused person. Any issues?" The sturdy man with the tag name Abidzar was dedicated to Saka's phone.

"Some of my family has suffered a disaster." Saka rubbed his face. His position which is still in Surabaya makes it not free. Saka could not immediately see Arsha's situation. He was upset over this helplessness. In front of his close colleagues, he was unable to hide the uneasiness.

Abidzar advises Saka to go to the commander and ask permission not to take part in further meetings. But Saka did not take that advice. He stayed until the meeting was over.

Once he was done, he immediately rushed to Jember as fast as he could.

Saka still wears a full uniform. A thread of sweat drips on the temples, making the hair become sticky and wet. The thread also soaks the top of the lips. His quick breath declared that the man had run away.

As soon as his eyes caught the reception desk, he immediately sped up the pace to narrow the distance. The goal is only one. To ask in which room Arsha was treated.

Fortunately. His arrival coincided with the clock so that he did not get a rejection. Saka rushed to the room where Arsha was being treated.

The boots climbed on the floor with a resounding voice. The sound of the move indicated the owner was in a hurry. After riding the elevator and passing through a long corridor, Saka was finally right in front of a room. He made sure the room number was correct and knocked on the door several times.

There's no answer.

In her shadow, she would see a weakly lying female patient with an infusion tube in her right or left arm. In reality, the room was empty. There's no one.

Saka is looking for a source of life. He thinks Arsha might be in the toilet. But his guess was wrong. There was no one in the room. Was it the wrong room?

Seeing the crumpled gurney and some food scraps that had not been taken, Saka was sure the room was inhabited. But where is Arsha? Shouldn't a patient be in his room?

Not seeing any intercom, Saka goes out of the room to ask and look for Arsha's whereabouts. In front of the room, he met one of the nurses.

"Sus, where are the patients in this room?" tanyakanya.

"Oh, Arsha's mother? He's in Amarylis' room 05."

"Amarillis?" Saka's forehead is wrinkled. Info from the receptionist, Arsha was treated in the room Lily 03, why change?

Saka wanted to ask that further, but the nurse had already left in a hurry.

Maybe he was misinformed.

Not wanting to think too far, Saka searched the room. His steps were hasty, but the pounding of the shoes showed that he was a firm man. Saka ignored the views of the people who passed by him.

The distance between Lily's room to Amarilis was quite far. After passing through the hallways, he saw a directional pointer to the Amaryllis area. Amaryllis 01 is at the end of the corridor. He only had to pass through five rooms to reach Arsha's place.

Saka quickened his pace. He can't wait to meet Arsha. He wanted to ascertain the condition of the woman directly. His thoughts and feelings were not calm.

As soon as he reached Amarylis room 05, Saka raised his hand. Prepare to knock. But the movement of his hand stopped in midair, as soon as his eagle eyes caught a sight he should not have seen.

In a second he could confirm who he was looking at right now!

The man was sitting in the gurney with his back to his back, while the woman's body was facing the door. Although part of the woman's body was blocked by the man, but Saka can identify the side of her face that looks half.

A pair of humans were kissing!

Saka's feelings wouldn't be this turbulent if someone else did. But he cannot tolerate this!

Saka sees Arsha, - Nay-nya, kissing the man she believes is Armand! A married man with a pregnant wife! Where did Arsha put her brain?!!

Anger and overflowing emotions burned his soul. Saka was about to kick the door, to make two people stop his activities, but before that he did, a hand blocked his arm. Saka looked quickly. He wanted to shake off that hand that he thought was disturbing.

Saka looked at the familiar face, although not too familiar. He saw Armand's wife!
