Raya Sick?
In the 14th floor apartment, where Haris and Gifer lived, it was quiet. Gifer who was in the living room chair alone while taking notes and reading the file with braille letters, his mind was suddenly shattered when he heard something he didn’t want to hear from Mr Kevin. He grabbed the ballpoint pen in his hand and banged the living room table softly. Her left hand brushed her hair back. Showcasing the full face that girls crave for. His head looked up to neutralise the anger that was now shaking his mind.
“Outrageous! Watch out, if that old fart makes plans to separate me from Belvina, I won’t let it happen!” Saying it to himself, Haris who just came out of his room and walked towards the living room was a little surprised by Gifer’s statement.
“The old fart? You mean, Mr Kevin, Gif?” asked Haris.
“Yes, who else if not Mr Kevin, Ris,”
“I don’t think your enemy is Mr Kevin anymore, Gif.”
“Then who is?”
“Kinara, just be careful with her. I sense a strange aura about her. Like there’s something to hide,” Haris sat on Gifer’s right.
“Really?”
“Yes, Kinara, Kiano’s sister. You don’t want to let her ask you to meet her outside working hours. I’ll warn you before you get into something bad,” Haris advised. Making Gifer think hard, it’s true, Kinara looks like a quiet person, but is she really hiding something valuable? He thought.
“Yeah, I’ll be careful with her.” Haris just nodded in response even though it couldn’t be seen by Gifer

In a room with shades of white mixed with pink, anyone who entered this room would be happy because the decoration was very pretty, in accordance with the theme of girls. There was a girl who was still wrapped in her blanket. A middle-aged man who last night asked Gifer to come which caused a big anger to Gifer made him undo his intention to reunite the two of them. Mr Kevin checked Raya’s condition which turned out to be a high fever after coming home late at night with the smell of alcohol. She had not yet woken up from her sleep, even though the maids had given her porridge and water that had been placed on the nightstand near the bed.”I’m sorry, son. I always forced you to fulfil my wishes and made you into a puppet, unable to choose what you wanted. I actually love you, but I just don’t want you to get a bad man. Because for me, only Gifer is a good man. But after the accident, you suddenly asked me to take everything away from him, and that’s what broke him. I also saw on the news that Gifer once almost committed suicide on a bridge high above the river when he was on the verge of collapse. He was a good man, son. But you broke his heart. That’s why he can’t forgive you easily. Even if he wants to return to the company, I’m very grateful. I don’t want to lose him again.” Mr Kevin rubbed his daughter’s forehead, which was still hot. After saying that, there was a small movement from the daughter, the body that had been facing towards the right turned to be on her back. She looked up at her father faintly because her eyes were still blurry.
“Father?”
“Yes, rest, if you can’t work, I’ll contact Indra later,” as he was about to move from his sitting position, Mr Kevin’s arm was held back by Raya.
“I don’t think I’ll ever work with Indra again.”
“Why? Did he hurt you?”
“Indra was only after our wealth, father. Even though his parents are no less rich than us, but, the company that Gifer is currently managing, he will take it by buying shares in Gifer. Ask Gifer to be careful with a client named Mr Yuan,” Raya tried to explain with her pale face, those withered eyes and pale lips were telling her father something. After a night of getting drunk with Indra and his friends at the club. She still remembered vividly Indra’s rambling about his purpose in approaching Raya.
“Father, I’m sorry. I should have listened to what you said. Gifer is a good man, there is no one better than him. I want to apologise to him, even if he doesn’t want to accept me anymore, I don’t mind. I just want him to forgive me, that’s enough,” Raya regretted while releasing tears that she couldn’t hold back.
“Go for it, Raya. But when you see him again. Now you drink first, then eat,” Mr Kevin helped Raya to get up from her sleeping position.
“If you can’t drink alcohol, just drink a little. Why were you so drunk last night?”
“Indra forced me to drink a whole bottle, Dad. It made me dizzy. Even now my head is still dizzy,” Raya complained while still holding her head, which felt heavy.
“Well, now drink first.” Mr Kevin took a glass of water from the nightstand and handed it to Raya.
After drinking the water, it was returned to the nightstand and Mr Kevin began to prepare a bowl of porridge and fed it to Raya. While eating the porridge, Raya said something that she saw at that time.
“Dad, Gifer already has a girlfriend. At that time, I saw him in front of the reataurant. He was kissing a girl. Not just kissing, but really a hot kiss. I think he really likes that girl,”
“Yes, I’ve also heard from Gifer that he’s going to propose to that girl soon. Gifer is really serious about what he said. I hope, if not Gifer, you can get a good man like Gifer someday.”
“So, Gifer will marry that girl?”
“Yes, I don’t know when, but he already has a plan for that. Gifer’s parents already know the girl,” Mr Kevin explained.
“Ah, so that’s it.”

This morning, Belvina and Anggi had travelled to work by busway. As usual, to accompany the loneliness on the bus, they chatted, especially talking about the eye donor that Belvina had planned a few days ago.
“Na, have you heard from the doctor you asked about the eye donor?” Belvina asked.
“No, until now there is no news whatsoever, should we look for another hospital? But the time is not there anyway, the schedule is really busy, we just go home in the afternoon, then at night to rest, how do you want to go to the hospital again? The doctors are already closed at night, only those who serve the sick, right,” explained Anggi, who was still confused about which hospital they should visit.
“Hah, yes too. I haven’t heard anything about the doctor either. Maybe it’s just not there yet,”
“It could be, we have to be patient, Vin,” Belvina just nodded in response.
“You didn’t talk to Gifer about this first, Vin? Are you sure? I’m afraid that if you get the eye donor, Gifer won’t want it because she’s disappointed that you didn’t tell her first.”
“Yeah, I haven’t told Gifer all this time. I thought this would be a surprise for him, but…” Belvina paused her sentence in confusion.
“Well then, to avoid unwanted things, wouldn’t it be better to just talk to Gifer first. Who knows, Gifer knows a hospital that can always be relied upon in finding eye donors,” Anggi suggested.
“Yes, I’ll talk to Gifer later. I was going to say it, but I’m still scared.”
“Don’t be afraid, Vin. If it’s for his own good, Gifer won’t be angry, trust me,” Anggi tried to convince Belvina who was still uncertain.
“Alright, I’ll try it later when we meet,” Belvina replied.
“That’s it.”
