She's No Ordinary Girl

Why Raffa?

The tall, masculine-faced man, the owner of a shady eye named Edo Mahardika stared blankly at the outside of the car window while leaning his body.

His eyes could not even blink once. In his daydream still think of the same name, which had long since been engraved in his heart 'Tania'.

Five minutes passed, a loud voice calling out to him made his daydream scatter instantly.

"Dario, Edo!" call Milan on the expensive-looking man who always looks neat beside him.

"Uuum .. yes," he answered, slightly hiding a nervousness. Edo tried to work hard to restore consciousness repeatedly.

"Are you okay?" ask Milan, worried.

Since getting to know Edo so well with such a gentle demeanor and concern for the family that even hated him, Milan paid little attention to his half-brother. Yep. Although only a little. Of course he still feels Edo is his competitor in love.

It's only right that Tania fell in love with you. Inner Milan continued to stare at his half-sister who had a far different nature to his cunning stepmother.

"Yes, I'm just a little tired," Edo said then straightened up his seat.

For a moment he loosened the tie that tied around his neck. With a gaze that was still down, unwilling to look at his interlocutor Edo tried to make a sound.

"What's wrong? Is your wife okay?" he asked, because when Milan was picking up a phone call Edo's mind was focused on the girl. He could not hear the conversation of the two.

"Yes, we have to go to the hospital. We turn around, Tania's in there with Raffa." Milan spoke while turning the key to start the engine of his car, then the car again darted through the boisterous streets of Bandung.

On the sidelines of the trip, Edo was so anxious. Milan also put on the same face, making Edo who caught his brother's expression increasingly anxious.

"If Tania's okay, why is she with Raffa now?"

Edo could no longer help but speak the words that came to his mind.

"Raffa was injured, reportedly he was unconscious in the hospital. Tania couldn't explain in detail, that's why I'm worried" retorted Milan who added to the speed of his car.

Edo's eyes glared at the Brother's explanation. "This means, Tania is also not in a safe situation."

Edo's face grew stifling. Milan understands that Edo's love is real. Now he feels very guilty, has the heart to separate two people who used to love each other. But the rice had become porridge, Milan could not even live without Tania.

Charisma beautiful woman who is versatile and tough, it was able to make the hearts of both brothers captive.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, a jet-black luxury sports car entered the hospital area of Bandung city area.

A pair of legs of the owner of the brand leather shoes from the Italian class manufacturer slowly swung his steps into the hospital receptionist.

"Are there any patients who have just been robbed in the downtown restaurant area of this hospital?" milan asked a beautiful nun who was standing guard at the reception.

Milan said with a breath that was almost without any rhythm.

"Who's the victim you mean?" ask the hospital nurse.

"Raffa—" Milan's speech stopped, trying to remember the surname Raffa then his lips choked to think of anyone who was close to the man.

"Yes, just transferred to the ICU," replied the nurse who was watching while sharing her friendly smile, at Milan who did have unusual good looks.

Milan is silent, silent to think of all that bi Marni tells. He tried to remember Raffa's connection.

"Thank you" said Edo ahead of Milan who almost opened his voice considering the nurse in front of him stared at him intensely while smiling to himself.

Milan immediately went unwillingly to respond, then the two walked with wide steps as if racing to tread the typical hospital ceramics white bones lined up neatly.

The second step stopped, and observed from the glass barrier on the wall of a room that read 'ICU'.

The two noticed a girl who was crying sobbing while hugging the helpless weak body that was lying on the patient bed.

"Look, Tania. Even though he knows that Raffa is not a good man, he still cries for him" Milan murmured.

"Yes. She is an amazing woman, sometimes rough, sometimes strong. Even so, she is still a woman, who has a fragile side behind her strong and .. sometimes adorable." Edo waved as Tania came to a realization with Edo and her husband present.

Quickly the girl stepped out of the room. He hugged Milan.

"What the hell is going on?" milan asked, he slightly distanced his body while looking at the deathly pale Tania with his puffy eyes.

"I went to the villa where we last met. There I found Raffa lying unconscious" Tania explained.

"Then?" Edo interrupted asking.

"I brought him here before his life could not be helped." Tania turned her head and looked at the shady eyes of Edo who was also looking at her.

Milan quickly tried to block the view of Edo who stole the view.

"Hmmm ... Where's Bi Marni?" Edo thought hard for a moment, knowing Tania was alone.

He remembers clearly if bi Marni was assigned Burhan to guard it.

Tania was stunned, then the three exchanged glances one by one and then said simultaneously, "Don't-don't—"

"Is Raffa really the victim? Is bi Marni—" Edo still thinks.

"If he's actually the mastermind behind this very complicated Tania family problem, then why was Raffa the target?"

"Because as long as I'm with you, Raffa's a good man. However, Bi Marni ... why would he lie to us by devising so many deceitful plans?" Tania ruffled her own hair while shouting in annoyance.

"All of us, we have to wait for Raffa to recover, and I'll try to contact Om Burhan. We sit down together, no more meeting alone. We seem to be being played. But who is playing us, let's find out" explained Milan.

Tania and Edo nodded simultaneously. Then Tania gave Milan an opportunity to take turns with Edo to visit Raffa who still could not open his eyes.

Milan leaned his body, putting his head close to Raffa's ears. "It's me, Milan. You'll be fine, Tania's safe with me, and we'll take care of you safely. Wake up Raffa, try to heal, this riddle depends on you."

Raffa's finger book slowly showed his reaction. Starting to move little by little. while from the corner of his eyes that are still closed, clear circles seep and increasingly swift.

Milan surprised, Raffa seemed to want to tell a lot about a long series of events.

"Don't be afraid, I won't leave for a second until you recover" whispered Milan. Again. He tries to convince Raffa to stay calm.

While outside, Edo and Tania were sitting in the waiting chair awkwardly.
