THE DUDA MAFIA'S MERCENARY

CHAPTER 19. COMFORTABLE IN CHAT

After Damar and Nayla finished their lunch rituals, they returned to their rooms to prepare for the hospital.

Bi Luna was calling her big boss Richard, telling her that the relationship between Damar and Nayla was going well, even looking familiar even though it was only today they met.

Richard was delighted to hear the report from Bi Luna and he asked Bi Luna to keep an eye on Damar and Nayla.

While Bety and Tisa rampage in the room, Bety ransacked the sheets, pillows and bolsters to vent her heart's irritation, while Tisa, throwing all her makeup equipment in any direction. Now their rooms were like broken ships with goods strewn everywhere.

Bi Luna who heard the sound of items falling to the floor immediately knocked on the door, but Tisa screamed that she was in the shower and Tisa said that Bety was sleeping.

Finally Bi Luna went upstairs to see if Nayla and Damar were going to the hospital. Because Bi Luna had asked the driver to prepare the car.

Bi Luna knocked on the door of the room to coincide with Damar who was about to come out.

"Eh, Aden is ready. I thought I wasn't going to the hospital. So Bibi came to make sure, because the car has been prepared," said Bi Luna.

"So why Bi, Nayla is still preparing a change of clothes that will be brought for her sister."

"Oh, alright Den, then excuse me first" said Bi Luna.

Before Bi Luna came down the stairs, Damar said, "Oh yes Bi, someone forgot, tomorrow our wedding will be done. I've asked Arkan to arrange everything. The event will be held in the building as well as a simple reception without many invited guests."

"real Den? Aunt was very happy to hear that. Congratulations Den, hopefully the marriage of Aden and Nona is blessed and lasting and soon be blessed with cute children," said Bi Luna.

"Hemm, yes Bi," only that speech came out of Damar's mouth.

Nayla also heard the prayer Bi Luna answered the same as Damar, to make the two look at each other.

Then Damar looked away, then said, "Let's go," asked Damar.

"Yes, sir" replied Nayla.

Damar extended his arm again, he did not want to if Nayla slipped again when she went down the stairs.

Nayla timidly grabbed Damar's arm, saying, "Sorry sir, if I'm troublesome."

Damar did not answer a word, he just looked forward and asked, "Since what age has your sister had lymph node cancer?"

"The lump has been around for a long time, sir, but we didn't expect it to be cancer. A year before our parents died, Seyna's health condition began to decline and she often had a fever until the village midwife referred Seyna to the hospital. After a series of laboratory tests, the doctor stated that it was cancer" Nayla replied.

"Why didn't the surgery come right then, maybe it won't be as severe as it is now!" damar.

"At that time, just the beginning of the outbreak of the covid virus, the economy of our parents who were only small traders in the market was affected, also slumped, how can you think about the cost of treatment, sir, while being able to eat and school fees alone are grateful. Fortunately our parents had a hut for a shelter so there was no need to think about the cost of renting a house."

"I am the oldest child who is still a student with a sickly sister, you can definitely guess, what burden I had to bear at that time," said Nayla sad because she remembered the death of her parents. Nayla was silent, she could not continue the story of her life.

"Heemm.." Dehem Damar.

"Then, you quit school so now you only have an SLTP diploma?" ask Damar.

Nayla nodded, then she said, "That's all I can do, sir, to get my sister's life and treatment."

"Why did you choose a job as a pelvic floor? Isn't there a lot of work?" ask Damar.

"To be a pelvic coolie, it doesn't require a degree, it doesn't need capital, it just needs strong energy, sir. Before I became a pelvic coolie, I tried busking, because I no longer knew what I could do to feed my sister even if it was just a piece of bread" Nayla said.

"Walk where? and what kind of income do you get?" ask Damar again.

"In the red light and its surroundings. But the result is zero, because it is taken by the veteran buskers who control the area," Nayla urged.

Then Nayla continued her story, "So that my sister could eat, I scavenged the trash and got leftover bread for her hungry stomach propeller. Meanwhile, I relented by drinking only water, unbeknownst to him until now."

Damar was silent to hear the story of Nayla's life, he was used to living a good life since childhood, only when after marriage his life was destroyed, precisely destroyed by his wife, until that's where Damar just felt the bitterness of life.

But it did not last long, his life changed again after meeting Richard, his adoptive Papa.

"Hemm, it turns out that my life is much luckier than yours" Damar said.

Mr. Driver who had since peeked out of the rearview mirror and listened to the chat interaction of his Boss was astonished. You see, during his time working with Damar, Mr. Driver had never seen Damar so comfortable as to talk to a woman. And usually, Damar is always indifferent, no matter the lives of the women who always try to approach him.

Nayla who heard Damar's last words was curious, then she ventured to ask, "Have you ever lived hard? Sorry, if I was so presumptuous to ask."

"Ear! The pain we feel is different. You were sick after the deaths of both parents and I was sick after being cheated on, all destroyed and my property lost."

"Oh, but Mister can rise again, meaning great sir. Me, this is how I feel grateful. You would be so kind as to provide medical expenses for my sister, it's like the fall of the moon for me. Because, my brother's healing and happiness is more important than anything else including my happiness."

Damar and Nayla continued to chat, so that they did not feel their car had entered the hospital parking area.

Both of them felt comfortable chatting, like a friend who had not met for a long time. After meeting, do not stop telling stories.

Mr. Driver raised his thumb, on the courage of Nayla who can make Damar comfortable and not silent as usual.

After parking the vehicle, the driver opened the car door for his Master. Damar and Nayla rush into the hospital, heading for Seyna's ward.
