...***...
"Boss!" Alby crouched beside Gallen's grimacing body in pain, "The boss can still hear me, right?"
Gallen. He checked the girl in his arms to make sure she was okay.
"Help this kid wake up."
Alby immediately carried the girl. He reached out with one hand to help Gallen get up, and Gallen received the helping hand and stood up.
The people who knew about the incident were huddled. Gallen held his left hand. His back suffered a severe injury. Fresh blood seemed to flow. While his arm also feels pain, maybe because of the impact when it rolled earlier.
The girl in Alby's arms kept crying. Alby tried to calm him down, but it didn't seem to work out enough.
"We need to get to the hospital, but this kid ... " Alby turned to the little girl, "She might need to be examined as well, but if we just take her, her parents could get confused later."
Gallen agreed with what Alby said, "Just wait, his parents will definitely be here any minute."
"But the boss wounds--"
"It's okay." Gallen massaged his shoulder slowly, "At least I won't die just because of this."
"Duh, Boss." Alby had no idea what his boss was thinking.
Gallen looked very relaxed even though his hands looked apprehensive like that. Fortunately, the coat he wore was quite thick. Otherwise, it was not just the back of his hand that was injured. Maybe his whole arm will be the same fate.
Alby then enlists the help of those around him to find the boy's parents. It was strange that such a small child would walk around alone. Didn't his parents watch him? He almost got hit by a car.
"Savas!" A young woman ran towards them. The little girl seemed to recognize him, she immediately asked the lady for a sling.
"Sorry!" The woman lowered her head after carrying the little girl.
"I'm really stoned! I didn't realize my son was gone." His word.
Alby and Gallen looked at each other. The boy had been alone since. It turns out that the boy was out of the supervision of his mother.
"Yes, it's okay. But it looks like we have to go to the hospital now. That kid--- um, his name is Sava? Looks like he should be checked out, too." Gallen. It would be rude to call a child 'the boy', even if it wasn't wrong.
The young woman nodded, "Yes, I have to wait for my husband to come first -- "The woman was aghast at Gallen who was relaxed even though his hands were bleeding like that, "Tu-Tuan, sir, Your hands--" He's up in a frenzy while talking.
"Oh, here," Gallen showed his hand, "No problem, the age is thought out. You better think about your daughter's condition. Because even though I tried to protect her, it didn't guarantee that she didn't hit the road." Gallen.
"I'm really sorry." The woman felt very guilty.
Alby looked at the two men in turn. In that case, when can this boss go to get treatment?
"Hm, Boss." Alby said, "How about we go to the hospital first? Madam and Sava can also come with us, let Madam's husband pick up Madam and Sava there." His advice. Anyway Gallen has to go to the hospital right now!
Gallen just nodded his head. Usually he doesn't like it if other people are hitchhiking in his car, but for emergency situations like this it seems like he can make an exception.
The offer Alby gave made the woman nod. Perhaps, he felt that the suggestion was so appropriate that there was no need to think twice about it, "Then, thank you for the ride."
Alby immediately went to the parking lot to pick up the car. He then went to the place where Gallen and the woman were, then immediately gasp to go to the hospital after the three got into the car.

"Is there a broken bone?" Alby asked the doctor who was checking. The doctor smiled a little.
"Nothing, but his arm was sprained by the impact. The torn wound on the back of his hand had also been sewn, but there were some abrasions there as well. For a few days try not to expose the wound to water." Advice from the doctor.
"okay." Gallen again massaged his aching shoulder.
Maybe because he always trained physically, Gallen did not feel much pain in the back of his hand. But his shoulders and arms were indeed uncomfortable, that was why he had always massaged him from earlier.
"Maybe for the next few days your arm will feel uncomfortable and also sore, so I recommend using an arm sling to help the healing process." The doctor's advice again.
"Arm sling? Like a broken bone." Gallen's forehead was wrinkled to hear that he had to use it. Just be right. Did he have to use it a second time? His arm was sprained, not a broken bone.
"Yes, your arm will be rested by using an arm sling, so it could help the healing process. After all, arm sling is not just for broken bones. But also for other injuries as well as this one you're having."
Gallen still continued to show his sour face hearing that. Not a bad suggestion, but he was still reluctant to use it. But if indeed it can help him recover faster ...
How else.
"All right."
The doctor who saw Gallen's unwillingness earlier was just trying to hold back his smile. The woman then wrote down some recipes, gave them to Alby who had been standing faithfully behind Gallen, "This is the prescription, hopefully cured soon."
"Loh, Mr Gallen?" The man was somewhat surprised to see who the person before him was.
Gallen looked at the man who was familiar to him, understanding a little of what was going on, "Sir Aditya, how are you?" Sweepings. Gallen even thrust his right hand at the man.
Gallen did not think that the girl he helped was the son of a businessman who was quite famous in the business world.
The friendly-faced man then smiled, "Good." He received a hand office from Gallen.
Aditya watches Gallen's hand for treatment, "I got a call from my wife about the accident. Thank you for saving our son." Reveal it. Just like his wife, the man also felt very guilty.
Gallen who saw that just smiled slightly, "Yes, equally. It just so happened that I was there at the time, it was natural that I would help."
Aditya smiled slightly, "Not everyone will do that, but I am grateful that our son met the hero-spirited Mr. Gallen."
Gallen chuckles.
"Maybe it's because I also have children, so I can't see a little kid who almost got hurt just like that." Gallen said that made Aditya surprised.
"Kids? I never heard that Mr. Gallen was married." Said. He looked at Gallen who seemed to be smiling happily after saying that, and Aditya could understand without needing to be explained. The man smiled.
"I hope one day I'll be invited to your wedding reception."
"Sure, take it easy."
The two men laughed a little. Alby, who saw the two looking familiar, asked for permission to leave, as he seemed to have to go make up for the drug himself.

"You sure I should use this?"
Gallen stared at his arm that had been fitted with an arm sling. Right now they're on their way home, and Gallen's been nagging ever since he used that thing.
"And the Boss himself said yes after hearing the doctor's advice, why did he change his mind again?"
"Ck," He leaned his head against the back of the chair, "Bother."
Alby keeps running the car. As the closest person to Gallen, Alby could certainly understand the reason why Gallen was reluctant to use the object. Not only because of his lazy nature to bother, but also because it will definitely remind him of the dark past.
Alby turned the car in Gallen's yard. This is Gallen's car, so he'll go to the office by taxi online later. The car's still in the office, there's no way Alby just left it there.
"I'll bring the boss's bag inside."
The two of them then entered the house. After a lot of things happened today, Gallen forgot that he wasn't just living alone in this house right now. The woman, Zoya, who had returned home from work, came from the kitchen and lowered her head because her hands were busy holding a fruit basket.
"Tumben Boss home fast. Usually night." The woman then looked forward after she finished speaking. His gaze fell on the hand of Gallen who was using an arm sling. Zoya surprised.
"Boss!"
The fruit basket he was holding fell down. The woman then ran, approaching Gallen who was still sculpting, "Boss, boss is injured? What's going on?"
"Oh, oh that's ... " Gallen looked at Alby and asked for his help to answer.
Alby was surprised by his boss.
"Boss helped a little kid who almost got hit, so, well, that's it." Alby.
Zoya felt sick seeing that. He stared at the sling arm that Gallen was wearing, then looked at the man's face with a sad face, "Boss's hand is broken? Until must use this .. The injury must be severe." He felt sorry for Gallen.
Alby smiles at Zoya's reaction. Although the woman continued to reject Gallen, but from how she behaved after seeing the man's injury, it seemed true that Zoya actually also had feelings for Gallen. Alby isn't good at it, but if Zoya is this careful, at least it means he still cares about Gallen.
But thankfully, Zoya had nothing to worry about. Because Gallen was only a minor injury. Although it should receive a few stitches, anyway. But soon the wound will heal.
Alby smiles while waiting for his boss to answer Zoya's questions. He was sure that this boss of his was very happy in his heart for receiving the attention of the woman.
Gallen lowered his head to look at his hand, then looked back at Zoya who was waiting for her answer.
"Yes, my hand is broken." Said.
Alby glared into his eyes hearing that. What did that guy just say? Broken it? Gallen lied to Zoya by saying that her hand was broken?
"This post ... " The mumbling was slow while shaking his head. Alby giggles at his boss's efforts to attract Zoya's attention.
His hands, just sprained.
