Chapter: Chapter 15"Nada!""Yes, Mom?""Your friend came, let's go out first. You tell that you’ve got better now" Mother said from the outside this room. Without asking any more questions, I shuffled out of bed and hurriedly put on my jacket to cover my tight underwear.The door opened, Mother’s figure was gone. Maybe she going on the downstairs to make a drink for them.I peeked from above looking at the living room. Their backs looking so familiar. Arumi and Daniel they came. I carefully descended the steps, tightening the buffer, so as not to fall.They welcomed when realize my existence. Soon both of them immediately stood up for a moment after seeing me.Arumi led me to sit on the living room sofa. His eyes were fixed on my face, touched my chin then tilted it to the right then left, after which he said anxiously,"Nothing was scuffed, right?"Her ridiculous question pissed me off. She thought that I’

Chapter: Chapter 14"Come on." He said. Mr. Malik sat next to me to make it easier to help me up. His tight hands are under my armpits, help me to stand with my own might."Just a small body, but heavy," He said sarcastically in my ear. Heavy he said? Even though a month ago my weight was only up to 55 kg. Huh? What, weight he said to me? I’m not weight any at all!I'm splashing."Sean, you just bring the bag. Bye, you just wait on the downstairs!" The boy ran quickly out of the room. W-what?So ... he left both of us?I didn't have time to stop Sean from leaving. He's gone too fast.I wanted to walk alone. But in this physical condition will not be able to hold my weight alone, besides I must go to the downstairs. Which there might get hurt. I just surrender to be helped by this ice creature.Somehow every time being alone with him like this feels awkward and clumsy. What kind of man is he, he is not good to finding conversation o

Chapter: Chapter 13"Malik wouldn't like to bring women to home. This is the first time he brings a stranger and is happy to accept the presence of new people in this family. You must be special for Malik."Is that true? How could it be, even he often laughs to me when I get fail, also heartless, cruel, cold! It would be too much to mention it one by one. How can this woman say that I am special to Mr. Malik. That is a liest.The woman stood with her back facing the window. From behind, I saw her black hair fluttering in the wind. When my gaze turned to the photo above the nightstand. The woman turned around, walked closer to me.She touched my shoulder, led me to sit on the large bed which I guessed was her room. Large and very luxurious filled with many expensive items.My eyes couldn't stop combing the view across the room. Fortunately, this woman didn’t protest or feel uncomfortable. In this huge room, I make sure its about twice of size my room. Ther

Chapter: Chapter 12All the way to Mahendra Family house I couldn’t get rid of this annoyance. Scowling all the way and making Mr-Slamet-the personal driver of the Mahendra family, as he introduced himself along the way, protested and laughed at my very creepy expression, he said. Let it be, what don’t know if I'm upset?I'm splashing.My gaze turned out the window. The car just entered the gate, we were greeted by the security guard I saw yesterday. He's still wearing the same clothes. I wonder, don't they change their clothes, or have another uniforms? Good question.The car stopped right in front of the garage. Mr. Slamet turned to me with a smile, I'm sure it was his code to get out and he could put the car into the garage immediately.I tightened the handle on the strap of the bag, opened the door, inched out of the car.In front of the terrace a middle-aged woman greeted me, I hurriedly greeted her. "it's arrived, Miss Nada," said

Chapter: Chapter 11At half past nine I just finished breakfast with Mother and Alif. Mother stood carrying dirty dishes to the kitchen while I saw Alif he was sitting stretched out on the floor, his gaze focused on the many study books on the table. He is too eager to achieve goals. I smiled watching his persistence."Sister! Alif wants to be a doctor when you grow up. So you can treat other people. Then for example, you can take care of Alif and Mama, you don't have to pay. It's free ... free ... free!" said Alif a year ago, a month after Papa's departure. Alif is determined to pursue his dream of becoming a doctor. She felt guilty for not being able to do anything for Papa until the end of his life. Therefore, he has a dream of helping others who need help.Last night when I returned home, Mama got angry because I didn't give her any news from morning to night. Alif looked normal, but after I talked to her she didn't answer, she seemed angry. After I talked carefully about th

Chapter: Chapter 10The reddish sky looked dazzling to the eye, a sign that it was time to go home. We spend almost all day at the Mall. Waiting for Sean to play.Our steps just exited the lower floor elevator, walking side by side. Sean walked between us, he was in the middle.Sean rubbed his eyes for a long time. Mr. Malik, stopping Sean's hand, caught both hands and then lifted the boy into his arms."Sean, sleepy, want to go home," He muttered softly. I who was standing right next to Mr. Malik, patted the little back, trying to relax him.Sean was too excited to spend his day playing with his brother. Perhaps, for him this precious day should not be missed. Rarely do they gather like this. That's what I concluded when Sean was sulking earlier. It seems that Mr. Malik never has time to play with his younger brother because his job as CEO takes up a lot of his time.Yes, I understand how Mr. Malik feels, he must have a hard time making a choice wh

Chapter: BAB 51Setelah melewati berjam-jam perjalanan. Kini Malik tiba di depan halaman rumah sakit. Sebelumnya Kyla telah ia titipkan pada Rama. Awalnya gadis itu meminta ingin ikut, tapi Malik menolak karena tak ingin membuat Kyla kembali kambuh sakitnya. Sebab gadis itu baru saja sembuh. Langkah kakinya lebar-lebar saat memasuki pintu otomatis. Dalam kekalutan, hanya ada satu nama yang terus digaungkan di hatinya. Nama yang terus melekat kuat, hingga meski datang padanya adalah hal yang sungguh sulit, akan tetap dilewati Malik. Semuanya hanya demi satu nama ....... Nada. Tangannya menekan tombol lift. Diketuknya beberapa kali sepatu pada lantai keramik. Dipijatnya pangkal hidung demi meredakan pusing yang mendera. Malik mendongakkan wajah, nomor yang tertera di atas sana masih terlalu jauh untuk tiba ke lantai satu. Sialan. Tak ada waktu. Umpat Malik. Tanpa pikir panjang, ia berlari menuju tangga darurat. Lantai 4

Chapter: BAB 50Hari ini setelah berbicara dengan dokter tentang kepulangan mereka ke Indonesia, Malik sudah menyiapkan segalanya agar bisa segera pulang ke tanah air. Ia meminta asistennya-Rama--untuk menyiapkan keperluan ini dan itu. Termasuk membayar seluruh biaya rumah sakit Kyla.Setelah drama yang cukup lama dan menguras emosi dengan Tante Anin dan Sarah yang berkeras menahannya untuk tetap tinggal di rumah sakit lebih lama, akhirnya dengan persetujuan dari Irish sendiri Malik bisa pulang tanpa harus lebih lama meladeni dua wanita menyebalkan itu. Sepertinya sekarang, Irish itu jauh lebih baik dibandingkan mereka berdua. Pikir Malik.Bandara.Kyla sudah bersiap dengan kursi rodanya. Gaun selutut yang dikenakan gadis itu terlihat feminin dengan warna peach dan putih corak bunga anggrek. Pita pink di rambut Kyla, menambah kesan imut pada gadis itu.Malik mendorong kursi roda Kyla. Melangkah pelan sambil sesekali mengecek jam tangan. Pukul 8 pagi. Itu berarti dua jam

Chapter: BAB 49Malik duduk di sebelah ranjang Kyla. Mengumbar senyum saat gadis itu membuka mata, tangan mungil itu mengucek mata sembari duduk. "Abang?" "Hm?" Malik tak mengalihkan pandangannya dari buku milik Kyla. Tangannya sibuk meneruskan membaca hampir di bagian pertengahan. Setelah dilihat-lihat lagi. Kini Kyla malah terlihat malu. Pipinya semerah kepiting rebus. Ditarik kasar buku itu dari tangan Malik, lalu mendekap kuat-kuat seolah akan diambil lagi oleh lelaki itu. "Jangan dilihat, Bang!" "Loh ... kenapa?" "Semua rahasia Kyla ada di sini. Jadi, jangan dipegang dan baca titik!" "Kan, abang cuma mau lihat, Kyla." Malik mencoba membujuk. Mengulurkan tangan pada gadis itu. Sedangkan Kyla tetap tidak mau memberikan buku itu, lalu memasukkan buku tadi ke bawah bantalnya. Dengan wajah cemberut, sekilas dipandangnya ke arah Malik lalu tidur berbalik memunggungi lelaki itu.

Chapter: BAB 48Malam hari "Tunggu saja, aku akan membuatmu kembali secepatnya ...." Tin. Suara klakson mobil membuat sosok dengan penutup kepala hoodie dengan masker hitam itu menggeser tempatnya dengan hati-hati lalu menunduk, bersembunyi di balik tembok agar tak terlihat. Untungnya ia sudah masuk ke dalam pagar secara diam-diam sejak tadi. Matanya masih sibuk memperhatikan bayangan seorang gadis dari balik gorden. Sudah cukup lama ia mengawasinya. Mendengar suara pagar yang terbuka, secepat kilat langkahnya berlari ke tempat rerumputan lebat. Dengan napas memburu dan kaki yang gemetaran. Dipilihnya untuk duduk sembari memerhatikan terlebih dahulu. Aman atau tidak. Dan benar saja, dari arah pagar matanya menangkap sosok seorang wanita dan seorang bocah. Mereka akan masuk ke dalam rumah itu. Matanya membulat tak percaya. Sepertinya ia mengenal mereka. *** Nada mondar-mandir di sisi ranja

Chapter: BAB 47 Malik mengetuk pintu di hadapannya. Ruangan dokter yang menangani Kyla selama di sini. Rencananya, pria itu ingin mengajak Kyla berjalan-jalan di luar, mungkin sekedar lihat-lihat suasana kota ini dan juga membeli hadiah untuk gadis itu. Untuk itu Malik menanyakan pada sang dokter untuk meminta izin pada dokter membawa Kyla berjalan-jalan keluar sebentar. Pintu diketuk tiga kali. Suara dari dalam menyahut, menyuruh Malik masuk. Diputarnya knop pintu, lalu wajah pria bertubuh gemuk dengan kacamata bertengger di hidungnya itu tersenyum ramah. "Pak Malik, senang melihatmu lagi!" Pria itu berujar dalam bahasa inggris, tangannya masih sibuk mengetik di laptop. Sedang senyumnya merekah sehingga membuat keriput di wajahnya terlihat. Malik menutup kembali pintu, berjalan mendekat ke meja kerja pria itu lalu menarik kursi untuk duduk. "Saya juga," balas Malik. Matanya memperhatika

Chapter: BAB 46"Irish! Sudah hampir setengah jam kamu di dalam sana. Buka pintunya sekarang! Tak ada jawaban. Masih seperti setengah jam yang lalu, hening sekali seperti tidak ada aktivitas. "Irish, kuhitung sampai tiga. Kalau kamu tidak membukanya akan kudobrak sekarang juga!" Tetap saja, tak ada jawaban. Sarah menggigit bibir bawah, antara kesal dan khawatir. "Satu ... dua ... tiga ....!" Sarah menghantam tubuhnya pada toilet di hadapannya. Sekali, pintu masih masih terkunci, dua kali tetap saja terkunci. Lalu yang ketiga. Pintu terbuka sedikit, memperlihatkan Irish yang sedang berdiri di sana. Tertunduk lesu dengan wajah yang muram. Rambut dan pakaiannya terlihat berantakan. Seperti kena embusan angin yang begitu kencang. Habis apa anak ini di dalam kamar mandi lama sekali? Ada yang tidak beres dengannya. Pikir Sarah. Sarah mendorong pintu agar lebih terbuka lebar. Adiknya kelihatan seperti mayat hidup. Wajahnya pucat, dan sa
