AUTHOR POV
Tired of waiting for the father in the hospital for hours made Nadine's body feel sticky. If the daily routine is a shower after work, but not this time.
Never mind taking a shower, to just rest close your eyes for a moment it feels can not. Nadine wasn't calm enough to leave her father for a second. Several times Nadine was seen yawning and rubbing her body, indicating that she was actually exhausted.
Nadine actually could not bear to go to the toilet. In addition to urinating, he also wants to wash his face with fresh water so as not to get sleepy.
"Maybe it's okay if I stay for a while" Nadine murmured
In order for her heart to calm down, Nadine asked the nurse to watch over her father while she was away for a while. "Suster, I put my father in.if there's anything, call my number immediately" Nadine gave her card to the nurse just in case.
"Good mom, that's for sure. It's our job to look after and care for patients."
Feeling a little calm because he had left the father on the nurse, Nadine immediately walked to the nearest toilet in the area.
Finished urinating, Nadine reached for the sink faucet that drained the fresh water to wash her hands, wash her face and gargle. In hopes of refreshing himself from his chaotic mood.
Not wanting to linger on leaving the father still lying in the ICU room, Nadine decided to quickly return to the patient's waiting room.
Due to walking in a hurry and erratic thoughts, Nadine accidentally bumped into someone to make her head hit on the hard body of the figure in front of her.
"I'm sorry, I was completely unintentional" Nadine said
"Other times, if that path is focused don't duck" the man exhaled violently and seemed to be holding back his anger.
It's not Adrian's name if he doesn't look emotional 24/7.
Adrian was upset because he was hit just like that because Nadine was staggering earlier.
"Sorry, my head is a little dizzy so I'm not so focused on the streets. Once again I apologize for the incident just now, I'm sorry first" Nadine apologized to Adrian while saying retreat with a lowered face.
"Bas strange, not very polite he. when talking even down and not staring at the interlocutor!" ketus Adrian when Nadine was gone.
While Ray who had been tailing behind Adrian only stared dumbly when he saw Nadine who walked past the two of them.
"That's not Nadine Bimantara huh? Mr Aaron's daughter?" roy muttered in his heart.
When Adrian turned to Ray, he realized that the assistant had not listened to him just now.
"Well, are you dumb?"
Ray was surprised to be reprimanded by Adrian. "Ehhhmm, I'm sorry, sir, that woman looks like her daughter Mr. Aaron."
Adrian frowned after hearing Ray's words. "who was? You sure..?!"
"Yes we have followed first the hunt lost track" Adrian ordered.
The two of them finally decided to follow Nadine. While walking fast and running a little, Ray also pulled out his phone from his pocket while opening a photo gallery to show a picture of Nadine Bimantara on Adrian.
"This is the picture sir, is it similar?"
"I didn't really look at his face very closely, because he just looked down. But it looks like you're right, it's look at him..!" Adrian pointed at Nadine who had stopped in the ICU waiting room from a distance.
"The writing is the ICU waiting room, from the glass here it appears that inside there is only the woman and two pairs of middle-aged women. Mr. Harun's daughter must be young, so she's most likely."
"Do we meet up, sir?" ask Ray.
Adrian looked at Ray with a flat, cold face, "Not us, but you!"
"I'm alone sir?" Ray is increasingly confused by the intentions of his boss on this one.
"Yes, you're alone in that. Invite the woman to talk and match important information from her. I could not have met him in person for reasons of confidentiality of my identity. You understand what I mean?"
Ray nodded slowly "Yes sir, I understand."
"Yes there's a hunt, don't waste time. I'm waiting for you over there, so he doesn't suspect anything. Remember that! Be careful Ray.earpiece and clip on you do not forget to wear, so I clearly hear your conversation" said Adrian, shaking his hand telling Ray to leave immediately.
"Okay sir, I went to see Mr. Aaron's daughter first."

"Excuse me, good night. I'm sorry to interrupt the timing" Ray began his introduction to Nadine.
Nadine who was bowed lethargic was hugging her own two arms, shocked to see Ray's sudden arrival.
"Can I help you?" ask Nadine.
"Look, I want to ask if it is true if you are the daughter of Mr. Aaron, Nadine Bimantara?"
Ray's words just made Nadine round her eyes wide.
"How does he know my identity?" inner Nadine
Because Nadine was very doubtful and did not believe Ray, she was reluctant to answer the man's question and instead asked, "Who are you?"
"Include me, my name is Raymond, just call Ray can. Actually I already know that you are Nadine Bimantara without you dodging it, which was just for formality."
"Then, what interest did you have in coming here?" nadine looked at Ray from head to toe.
"I meant coming here because I wanted to ask you some important questions about Mr. Aaron. I need to talk to you."
"What's important?"
Ray turned his head to the left before replying to Nadine's question. "Can you come with me first to talk somewhere else? In a quieter place."
"What do you want is to find a quiet place! If there's any need to talk to me here."
"But this thing I'm going to talk about is secret, I don't want anyone to know. We'd better talk somewhere else, you come with me."
Nadine became emotional herself seeing Ray, how could this man be quite presumptuous to take her away. It must be part of the mode of evil he thought.
"I've never known you before. You are just a stranger, surely you want to say anything to me right!!", Nadine unconsciously snapped Ray to invite attention from other people who were in the waiting room.
Nadine, who realized her mistake for making the waiting room atmosphere noisy, was intentional to apologize to people around. "I'm sorry for the inconvenience."
Before long, Nadine looked at Ray again. "Listen yes Mas or Mr. My father is currently still being treated in the ICU. My mind was in a state of turmoil, I could not go anywhere. After all, there's no guarantee that I can be safe if I go with you?" nadine whispered, because she did not want to repeat the same mistake.
"I'm not a bad guy. My intention is just to ask one thing or another about Mr. Aaron. Aren't you curious about what happened to your father?"
"What do you mean...?!" Nadine was curious.
"I know if your dad got hurt from getting shot, right?" Ray paused his statement for a moment. "If you want to open up with me, and tell me everything, maybe I can help you find your father's shooter."
Dazed, Nadine daydreams and takes her eyes off Ray.
"I still don't believe."
Ray is getting upset with Nadine's attitude. In his heart he murmured, how could this woman be so difficult to persuade. What does his face look criminal?
"It looks like this woman will be suitable if used as a partner Pak Adrian. Equally stubborn" Rey's inner.
Ray took his wallet out of his pocket and took his identity card to show Nadine.
"I swear I'm not a bad person. This is my identity card. You can check there.name, address, etc.."
"At this moment we are facing the same enemy. I'll help you investigate Mr. Harun's case if you want to cooperate with me. Please help."
Nadine thought for a moment.
Actually, he himself was also curious about the figure of Ray and what important things he wanted to talk about.
"Okay, I'll come along. But don't get far from around here and not for long."
Nadine finally agreed to Ray's offer.
