The Mafia's Prison of Love

The Part 63

Zian rolled his eyeballs around every corner of the room, then stepped his feet in haste.

"Naya.." call Zian as soon as he sees the patient's bed empty. He walked to the bathroom to find his wife. However, the bathroom was also empty, there was no Naya there.

Dimas and Anita who were still outside the room glanced at each other as soon as they heard the Boss chanting Naya's name several times. The two quickly entered the room.

Dimas was surprised to find that Naya was no longer there. "So I left her here as soon as Anita asked me to come to the office" Dimas said in a panicked tone. "The suitcase and the bag are gone too."

Zian became increasingly riled up, thinking Naya was alone out there in pain. "Did she run away like that?" zian asked, remembering that Naya had run away from the hospital and even went home.

Hurriedly Zian stepped out of the room, followed by Anita and Dimas. The man then asked an officer who was standing guard there. "Excuse me, where did patient room 728 go?" ask the officer.

"The patient of room 728, on behalf of Kanaya Indhira has gone home a few minutes ago," the officer replied.

"Come home?" asked Zian with a face that was already very worried. For a moment Zian stared, until Dimas' hand clap on his shoulder shocked him.

"Naya must not be far away, let's find it! He was still staggering when he walked" said Dimas, who was behind Zian.

Zian immediately took a thousand steps towards the hospital courtyard. Anita and Dimas decided to split up in search of Naya, who they believed was still in the vicinity of the hospital.

Zian continued to search here and there, occasionally shouting Naya's name. Until he arrives on the front page of the hospital, Naya is nowhere to be seen. Zian rubbed his face rough, his eyes were back in full of clear liquid.

"YES!" screamed once more.

Before long, Dimas and Anita also arrived at the hospital courtyard. They saw no sign of Naya. "Anita, have your men track Naya down at all costs" Zian said.

"All right.." said Anita.

"I'll go home first, maybe Naya will go home" Zian said.

Without saying much, Zian ran to the parking lot and got into his car. He immediately drove his car away from the place. While Dimas and Anita were still staring at each other with confused faces mixed in panic.

"What's wrong with her? A few days ago she said she was waiting for Naya to leave her life. Now, what he had been waiting for for this one year materialized. Naya is really gone. But why is he such a lunatic looking for her?" anita asked at length, "But you said Naya was dying, do you mean that Naya has a serious illness?"

Dimas again clenched his hands, considering the state of Naya is getting weaker, even earlier Naya could not rise himself from the bed.

"Yes, that's right, Anita. Naya is dying. He doesn't have much time left" Dimas said in a soft voice. Anita was stunned to hear Dimas's words.

"What pain does she have?" ask Anita curious.

Dimas then tells Anita what Naya told him. About her illness and also about the shooting that happened to her five years ago.

Anita froze, her tears just escaping. "What did you say? Naya was shot five years ago?" anita asked with a trembling tone.

"Yes, Anita. A bad man shot him, then they just left him on the street. Because of their evil deeds, Naya is now experiencing this."

The woman was at a loss for words, her brain trying to digest Dimas' explanation. Anita who had never cried, finally dropped her tears.

Does that mean Naya is Kia? Did Maliq not know that Naya was the girl he had been looking for for five years?inner Anita.

Shadows of the past during the incident sprung up in his mind. How Zian accidentally fired a shot that hit the stomach of a teenage girl who was still wearing her school uniform. How Zian wanted to help the girl, but he and Marvin pulled her and forced her to leave the little girl alone on the street.

I need to tell Maliq right away

*******

Zian had just arrived at his house. He stared at the simple building whose door was tightly shut. Then immediately got out of his luxury car and entered the house.

Zian recalled that when Naya escaped from the hospital some time ago Zian panicked to look for her. And, when she gets home, finds Naya at home preparing dinner for her.

Now, hope remains hope. Zian hoped that when he returned home, there would be Naya who would always welcome him with her beautiful smile. However, now that there was no longer that smile, there was no more excited greetings from the girl who had been filling her life for one year.

Zian sat at the dining table. All this time, only in that place were he and Naya in close proximity. Details of the clear fluid fall again, given how bad the treatment had been on Naya.

"I'm sorry, Naya... I'm guilty" Zian muttered with tears.

For several hours, Zian cried nonstop. Not long after, there were footsteps entering the house. Zian gasped at the sound of those footsteps.

"Nadiah... That must be Naya. "

The man went out to see who had come, in hopes of seeing Naya there. However, what came was not Naya but Dimas.

"Hows it? "

"No news yet" said Dimas lazily, still very furious with Zian. "I think this time Naya's really going to get out of your life, boss."

Zian dropped his body on the sofa, his legs suddenly felt limp. "Did Naya say something to you? Didn't he say where he was going?" ask Zian.

Dimas was still standing in front of Zian, the tail of his eyes looking at Zian like he wanted to pounce on the stupid man in front of him. "Naya said a lot to me."

Zian raised his head to look at Dimas. "What did Naya say?"

Dimas then sat on the sofa. Remembering what he and Naya were talking about. "She said she'd walk out of your life, not want to be your burden. Do you know, Boss... Why is he keeping his circumstances secret? It's all because of you!" Dimas took a long breath. "He told me he didn't want you to know he was dying and was waiting for his death. He thought you'd throw him out of your house if he got sick. He doesn't want to be a burden on you, because he thinks you're just an ordinary man who doesn't have enough money for him to undergo treatment. And he thought that his weak body would only burden you."

Zian did not answer Dimas' words, only tears continued to flow. How he threatened to expel Naya if the girl squandered the money.

What I've done. I made him live in simplicity only to make him feel at home and immediately walk away from my life. He was so scared to spend the money I gave him. Nayaku, where are you? I want to hug you and prostrate at your feet.

"He felt like everything that happened to you was because of his existence. Naya continues to blame herself. You suffer, you lose your job, you have to deal with dangerous people like Marvin Alexander. And, you lost the girl you loved because of her existence. He kept crying and crying over it all."

Zian closed his eyes hearing the attack after attack launched by Dimas, the pain in his heart grew even more intense.

"After all your ill-treatment of him, not one bit did he hold a grudge or anger. He feels worthy of all that and considers as his penance that has forced you to marry him. Now he's gone. Shouldn't you be happy. You always said you wanted him out of your life for good, right? Now he's granting your wish with his departure." Dimas' heart-pounding words to Zian.
