"What's wrong, Mom?" sophia asked, curious.
"I'll pick it up, baby" replied Alex.
Sophia nodded. He believes the call must be important.
Alex pressed the green button that was waiting for him. He picked up the phone from security at his office.
"Hallo Boss."
"Hallo, what's wrong?" ask Alex.
"Pak Ferdi escaped the Boss."
"What?" Alex surprised.
"So when we were about to take her into the car she fought back and hurt our members."
"Where is he going now?" ask Alex.
"Our men were chasing him, he ran away in his car."
"Find him until he gets it, let me know when he's caught" Alex said.
"Yes the boss."
Alex hung up on her phone. She looked panicked, making Sophia curious.
"What's wrong?" ask Sophia.
"Dad ran away, security was chasing him" Alex replied.
"Astagfirullah" Sophia said.
"Darling, wait for me at home. I'll look for him" Alex said.
"Yes, be careful on the road" Sophia said.
Alex wakes. Stand up. Turned her body to Sophia. He kissed the owner of the emerald eye's forehead. Down, kiss the red lips of pomegranate that always makes him opiate and do not want to take it off. Enjoy a moment and then take it off.
"I'll be back, give me a booster gift later, yes" Alex said, holding the reddish cheeks.
Sophia nodded and smiled sweetly. Natural honey is so sweet without artificial sweeteners.
Alex walked outside leaving the meeting room. He walked to the elevator downstairs. Alex came out of the lobby driving his car without a driver. The car drove outside the company area. Drove on a road track that looks stretchable even though it remains congested occasionally. Alex drives his car to the sharelock that was given security to him. The car continues to drive to its destination. When he reached the road he wanted to go, a crowd of people crowded the streets. Alex's car can't get through. Alex is confused by the sudden traffic jam. He decided to go down, walking towards the crowd in front of him. Alex saw one of his security guards in the crowd.
"Sir Joni," call Alex.
Jodi looked at Alex. He's approaching his boss.
"What's wrong?" ask Alex. He wants to know what's going on. Why is everyone crowded the road until the cars become congested.
"Boss, your father was in an accident" replied Mr. Joni.
"What's? A wreck?" Alex surprised. He didn't think his father would have an accident. Although Mr. Ferdi is not his father but Alex has been living with him all this time.
"Yes boss, just as we were chasing him, his car hit a roadblock" replied Mr. Joni.
"Innalilahi wa innailaihi roj'iun" said Alex. He immediately walked into the crowd. Look at his father's condition. Dented car, thankfully Mr. Ferdi survived only his legs were crushed by the body of the car. Soon Alex approached Mr. Ferdi.
"Dad, are you okay?" alex asked frantically to see Mr. Ferdi's legs overstretched car body dented.
"Why do you care? You're not my son" said Mr. Ferdi.
"Maybe I'm not your son, but all this time I've known you as my father" Alex said.
"Ha ha ha. I have never cared about you, why do you consider me your father" said Mr. Ferdi.
Alex did not comment on Mr. Ferdi's remarks. Stand up. Trying to lift the car body from the legs of Mr. Ferdi.
"Aw ...," said Mr. Ferdi in pain.
"Hold a minute, I'll pick it up" Alex said.
Alex still trying to lift the car body, suddenly Mr. Joni, another security came to help, plus some people who helped lift the car body. After a long struggle, finally the car body can be removed from the legs of Mr. Ferdi. It's just that his legs are covered in blood. Alex raised his father. Carrying on his back.
"Where are you taking me?" ask Mr. Ferdi.
"To the hospital, you need to be treated immediately" Alex replied.
Mr. Ferdi was silent. His whole life has never been good to Alex but the boy is good to him today. Tacit. He is incapable of speech.
"Bos let us be" said Mr. Joni.
"Help me open the car door, another security set the traffic so my car can pass!" alex orders his security.
"Good Boss!" all security regulations.
Alex carried Mr. Ferdi to his car. He ran as hard as he could so that his father could be dealt with immediately. Mr. Joni immediately opened the car door, Alex took his father into his car. He sat his father. Then ask Mr. Joni to drive. Take him to the hospital.
Car drove. Along the way Alex continued to hold his father's hand, the middle-aged man looked in pain as his leg was injured. Fifteen minutes drive to the hospital. Mr. Ferdi was taken into the hospital to the ER. Inside the ER Mr. Ferdi is handled. Alex and Joni are waiting outside. Alex looks worried.
"Boss, your father will definitely be fine" said Mr. Joni encouraging Alex.
"Thank you Mr. Joni" Alex said.
In between waiting for Alex to contact his mother and younger siblings. Including Sophia his beloved wife.
"Assalamu'alaikum" said Alex.
"Wa'alaikumsallam Mas" Sophia said.
"My dad was in an accident, baby" Alex said.
"Innalilahi wa innailaihi roj'iun" Sophia said.
"Now he's still in the ER" Alex said.
"I'll be there, sharelock the hospital ya Mas," said Shopia.
"Dear, be careful on the road" said Alex.
"Yes" replied Sophia.
After contacting Sophia. Alex was in the waiting chair. He thought about all the events that had happened. His father was guilty but he was still the man who had been his father. Alex still has her worries at a time like this.
"O Allah I forgive him, save him and heal him" Alex prayed to Ferdi. No matter he's not her father.
Sophia came soon. He approached Alex. A hug awaited Alex now hugged him. Give strength to him. Sophia hugged her husband. Letting her husband share the grief he felt for her. Seeing that Mr. Joni is away. Leaving them both.
"Patience, we pray with God that you will be fine" Sophia said.
"Dear, I hope you're okay" Alex said. Three things happened that day. Changed life. One, the perpetrator of the company turned out to be Mr. Ferdi who was the figure of his father. Second, it turns out that Mr. Ferdi is not his real father. And third, the accident that happened to Mr. Ferdi. Makes Alex know how depraved he is, there is affection and worry about his condition.
Alex sat on Sophia's shoulder. That shoulder was comfortable for a place to lean from the fatigue of problems that crammed all day. Alex feels a sense of power when the owner of the emerald eye is by his side. He held a warm hand full of tenderness, who always shared affection and care for whoever it was.
Before long Grandpa David, Mother Marisa, Claudya and Gavin came. They approached Alex and Sophia. Ask Mr. Ferdi. Alex, leaning on Sophia's shoulder, woke up. Look at his family in front of him.
"Where's your father Alex doing?" mother Marisa asked while crying bombay when she did not care even though Mr. Ferdi died though. Instead he was happy if Mr. Ferdi died. Secrets will be kept forever until they rot with Mr. Ferdi.
"The father is being treated by Doctor Ma'am" Alex replied.
"Thank God that he has been treated by the doctor, hopefully he is fine" said Grandpa David. He looks wise and relaxed. Claudya is crying. Unlike Gavin who just silence does not look sad or happy.
Suddenly the ER door opened. The nurse calls Alex to come in.
"Why father? Don't-don't die anymore" said Marisa's mother. I wish Mr. Ferdi was really dead.
"Marisa shut up! Just pray that Ferdi will be fine" said Grandpa David.
"Dead papa?" ask Claudya while crying.
Deg
Alex's heart is pounding. It felt like he had just heard her voice while carrying her. Is it true that his father died.
