“Mira, there are some documents that I should check today. Please info to Om Bayu let the document handle it. Keep reschedule meeting today to next week. I am not going to the office and do not hold a laptop now, probably until tomorrow, I have not been able to take care of work. My wife is again hospitalized.” Gian explained to his secretary by phone.
Regina had woken up since then, but she just quietly listened to Gian who was busy calling a lot of people because today he did not enter the office. Now Regina's troubling Gian again. He feels guilty for making Gian have to sacrifice his job to accompany him here.
Gian is still busy with his phone. His appearance looks disheveled. He's still wearing his shirt and work pants. Looks like Gian is still wearing the clothes he was wearing yesterday. Regina only briefly remembers the incident when she was taken to the hospital by Gian. He could hear Gian's faint voice as he called out to him. But his body was too weak to respond.
Gian's mobile phone has dropped, finally he stopped contacting and taking care of his work that is very much. When he turned to look at Regina, it turned out that the girl was already awake and looked healthier.
“You have more work to do huh, Gi?” Regina asked as they looked at each other.
“Hmm.. Appreciable. I've done it.” Reply Gian then sat down on the side chair of Regina's bed.
“You go home and to the office. Later in the afternoon come back here again. I'm not okay to be left alone.” Regina tried to convince Gian. Gian's eyebrows are confused and upset. “Totally. I was treated alone and never stopped. I could really. I'm okay.” Continue with a smile.
“Continue thinking I believe, so?” Gian asked annoyed. He was not in a state of mind with Regina's direction. Why did he refuse to be accompanied? Does he not like Gian to be here?
“You will have to shower and change clothes, Gi.”
“Later Arsila here, bring a change of clothes.” Answer Gian ketus. “Nih breakfast first.” Continue while shifting the overbed table containing food at the end of Regina's bed. Gian just stayed there watching Regina bribe her food little by little.
“You want me a bribe?” Ask Gian gently. Regina nodded quickly. Gian snorted then got up from his chair and walked towards the sofa. He lay there for a long time playing with his phone.
Regina is very confused by Gian's attitude, she sometimes sounds ketus and looks upset. But a second later his attitude became warm. Is Gian still angry with him? It's just that he's trying to be nice because Regina is sick right now. These few days Regina also continues to make trouble and make Gian have to be involved. Moreover, they have not improved because of the problem with Rafi. Gian must have been very upset and hated him. She often says her contract marriage is to avoid trouble and live a quiet life without interruption. But it seems Regina's whereabouts are bothering her.
Gian's head is so messed up right now. He was confused by Regina's behavior that looked strong and did not need her help. Was it because of his problem with Rafi's dismissal that made him still angry at her? If that problem alone made her like this, Gian could not imagine if Regina knew what she had done to her ex-boyfriend. At this time the man may have been taken away by his men to leave Jakarta. He won't call or see Regina again. Will Regina be sad and lost? Just thinking about it made him so upset. Why does Regina still like and defend these insane men? Why couldn't she look up to him who treated her well?
...****************...
At noon Arsila and Aunt Esty came to visit. They brought food and fruits, as well as the change of clothes that Gian ordered.
“Yes, Re. How can you get into a gini-rich hospital? You must be an inner pressure because of Gian, right?” Arsila said fussily as she walked into Regina's inpatient room. Then she hugged Regina.
“Where now? Are you feeling better?” Ask Aunt Esty who followed behind Arsila.
“Udah better, Aunt. The fever has gone down.” Reply Regina.
“Say the Gian, you were previously in an accident? How can I do it?”
“I'm just not careful, Kak.”
“You need anterin wife to go anywhere, Gi!” Arsila shouted at Gian who was sitting on the sofa.
“Bete ah salahin mulu!” Gian said then stood up and walked towards the bathroom. Arsila chuckled at her annoyed cousin.
“You are not better yet Gian?”
“Baikan? You guys fighting? What problem?” Ask Aunt Esty.
“Custom household problems, Ma.” Answer Arsila lightly.
“Tuh, Re. Dengerin's advice from senior.” Arsila Ledek. Regina just laughed.
“Moreover deal with Gian.. Gee..The people of the house also kaya males if the fight is angry with Gian. He won't lose if he thinks he's wrong. Her ego is exorbitant.” Add Aunt Esty.
“Tuh, testimony from a person who has lived a long time and mengurusin Gian the stone head from small.”
Then the three of them chuckled as they talked about Gian behind him. As long as Gian was busy in the bathroom, the three of them continued to gossip and talk about it. Makes Regina laugh a lot today. His heart felt lighter with Arsila and Aunt Esty's visit that was very pleasant. Forgetting for a moment all his complicated thoughts about Gian.
...****************...
For 2 days Regina was hospitalized until she was allowed to go home. Gian kept him there, they didn't talk too much. Gian was busy with his cell phone when Regina was not in need of his help. While Regina turned her mind to the TV monontoon in her inpatient room.
There is hardly a good chance for Regina to apologize to Gian. Aunt Esty was right, she could have been the right one but she had to budge and lower her ego to reconcile the situation. Regina tries to understand Gian's attitude towards Rafi. He wants to protect her. Even though the way he used was not very good.
In the afternoon they just got home. After cleaning up, Regina went down to the kitchen and intended to cook dinner. But Gian has ordered food through an online taxi. He told Regina to rest because she just got out of the hospital.
During dinner only silence was between them. The sound of scoops clashing occasionally sounded from each plate. They are immersed in thoughts and conjectures about each other. Regina suspects Gian is angry because he always makes trouble. Gian suspects Regina is angry that she still likes her ex who was unilaterally fired as a result of Gian's actions. None of them opened their mouths to communicate the problems they had in their hearts and minds. Let it dissolve in silence.
Gian offers to wash the dishes and clean up their former meals. Regina was still sitting at the dining table. Waiting for Gian to finish washing. He had already established his heart and ventured to talk about their problems. Regina approached Gian who was still standing at the kitchen sink after finishing his work.
“Gi.” Regina approached Gian. “I want to apologize. About Rafi's problem, about my accident, about me being in the hospital and making you not go to work for a few days. I've caused you a lot of trouble. About Rafi, I know what you mean. Now I'm not dealing with him anymore. We have spoken and separated well.” Regina.
“If you want to be angry with me I'm okay, or want to punish me also nothing. I know I keep causing trouble until you have to feel the need to protect me. I promise I won't be rich again. I don't like it if you keep cuckooing me rich gini. Please don't get mad rich gini.”
Regina let go of all the worries and things that disturbed her mind and heart. Now it feels even more relieved after he said it all to Gian. Gian stared at Regina. There was no expression on his face. He wanted Gian to yell or scold him instead of silencing him without any answer. For some time they stood facing each other. Regina turned her gaze towards the floor below her, while Gian was still staring at her.
“Ya that's it. If you don't want sorry it's also nothing.” Regina Pungkas. As he was about to leave, Gian clasped Regina's arm. Restrained it.
“I'm not angry because you're causing trouble. I just don't like it when you're the same guy. I don't like you with other guys. You keep menggebela him make me feel uncomfortable. I don't know since when I kept thinking you didn't stop. You always make me feel worried, make me feel like I have to protect you, make you feel comfortable, make you smile. Despite the richness of all actions I did not like you.”
“I know I violated my own words to have no feelings about this connection. But I love you, Re. You obviously can have other options besides me anyway, just don't Rafi. Don't turn him back on. You can have feelings for others as long as our contract is not done. You don't have to bales my feelings and don't be burdened because of my feelings to you.”
The turn of Regina who was glued and silent with Gian's words. He didn't know what to react to. During this time Gian's kindness only he suspected as his responsibility towards their contract marriage. I never thought Gian would have the same feelings as him. He kept telling her to stop when her feelings started to appear.
Regina approached Gian, on her tiptoes, and gave a glimpse of Gian's lips.
“My choice is just you, Gi. I don't think to choose someone else” Regina hugged Gian who from earlier was just speechless.
“Means?” Gian asked confusedly.
“Ih Gian! I mean I love you too! The rich just let her think!” Regina said annoyed and embarrassed when she said that. She buried her head in Gian's chest and hugged him tightly.
Curved smile on Gian's lips. I can't believe what he heard. In his mind Regina only liked her ex. He had not expected to get an answer like this from Regina.
“Serious?” Gian asked with a smile teasing Regina. He could not help but laugh.
“Whispering!! I'm ashamed to say it!! That's not why you're stupid!” Regina replies upset that Gian keeps asking unimportant questions. Why did it become so romantic and embarrassing?
