Falling in Love With Senior
New Rival

Reihan can't sleep quietly tonight. He kept thinking about Melin's condition. In addition, he was still thinking about all the words of Melin's parents.

"Lord..., what should I do? They just keep filling my brain..."

The Flashback

"I'm talking as a father right now, Reihan" said Adi.

"How can Mr Adi suddenly tell me all this?" reply Reihan while continuing to look straight ahead. Although there was only a clean white dinging with a few health posters.

"Why don't you like my son? So you feel uncomfortable...?!" papa Adi turned towards Reihan.

"It looks like no one dislikes Melin, sir. He is kind and friendly with everyone." Reihan replied.

"You like it too?" saith.

Reihan. He was confused as to what to say.

"Ah, forgive me, Reihan." papa Adi patted Reihan on the shoulder, then smiled. "It looks like I got carried away with your closeness. Once again I'm sorry, if my words have made you uncomfortable" he said.

"I'm sorry, too, sir. Hopefully Mr. Adi is not offended by my attitude" Reihan said lowering his head for a moment.

"I feel very presumptuous and guilty, because I dare to like your daughter." he continued. "Because I'm still very far from being appropriate, to have that feeling" Reihan said.

"There's nothing wrong with feeling. Because it's one of the advantages that God gives to humans." said papa Adi.

"Never think like that. If it turns out that you are the one, we will be very grateful" he said.

"Thank you, Mr. Adi has raised my heart. But sorry again, sir. For now I can only be responsible for the work that Mr. Adi gives. Because I still have to give a more decent life to my family. I want them to be able to feel happiness, because they are the ones I have been able to live until now. Surely Mr. Adi also already know my background...?" reihan.

"Yes. That's why I'm proud of you." praise papa Adi. "It's night, because you can't spend the night, you better go home. Before it gets late" he said.

"Yes, sir." Reihan stared at the closed door of Melin's nursery.

"Don't worry, my mom and I will be here tonight. If there was anything with Melin I would have told her." she seemed to understand the worry of the young man beside her.

"Yes, sir. Then excuse me." said Reihan.

Flashback Off

......................

The next day Reihan returned to the hospital early. His face looked more fresh and cheerful, because last night he managed to make himself at peace with the circumstances. She assures him that the green light Melin's parents gave her should not make her nervous. Instead he should be grateful that they entrusted Melin to him.

Upon arriving at Melin's room, it appeared that mama Yunita was persuading her to have breakfast. And as Reihan had guessed, Melin didn't eat her breakfast. So she brought her aunt's breakfast with Melin.

"Aaah, finally the handler came. Here is Rei." said mama Yunita.

Mama Yunita moved out of her chair. Then he came out of that room.

"I think I should get a double this month." joked Reihan while preparing the breakfast he brought.

"Because of my duty now I'm a nurse as well" she added.

"I'll tell papa." Melin replied with a smile.

"It's auntie's cooking, let's eat" Reihan said as he approached Melin.

"I think Brother Rei is cooking." Melin said.

"Only in the life of drama and novels is there a man who cooks like your shadow." Reihan said.

Reihan feeds Melin, little by little and slowly. Because several times Melin seemed to have trouble swallowing it.

"Drink first." Reihan gave Melin some water to drink.

"What's it going to be?" reihan asked after returning the glass to its place.

"So brother, not strong." Melin replied.

Reihan cleaned up his food. After finishing with that he again sat down to accompany Melin.

"After your mom comes back, I'll go to college. After that I'll see you again." Reihan promised.

"Sir Rei leaving now is also fine. Rather than late" Melin said.

"No. It's still nine o'clock." Reihan replied. Melin just nodded.

"SISTER...?"

"Yes?!" answer Reihan.

"I'm sorry my parents yesterday." Melin asked.

To be honest Melin was also not happy with Reihan, because of the attitude of her parents. Melin was worried that Reihan was uncomfortable.

"That's normal, because they're your parents." Reihan replied. "I can understand. Don't worry about me. I'm fine."

"Yes, brother." said Melin.

Geck... Geck...

"Excuse me...!!" a nurse entered Melin's room. "Good morning..."

"Morning, sister." they compactly replied.

"I changed the infusion yes." said the beautiful sister.

"The more cheerful today, yes, it is very different from last night" said the sister again.

"When do you think you can go home, sus?" ask Melin.

"Wait for the doctor to come yes, mbak." answered the nurse.

After completing her task, the nurse returned. And then left them both.

"Do you want fresh air?" Reihan looked at Melin.

"There's fresh air in the hospital" Melin said.

"Is it, won't it?" ask Reihan again.

"Can..." Melin nodded.

Reihan took a wheelchair, then led Melin to sit on it carefully.

Reihan takes Melin to a park that is part of the hospital environment.

"Reihan...?!" someone greeted Reihan who was pushing a wheelchair.

"Hi." reply Reihan flat.

Melin smiled when she looked at him.

"Flower..., come...!" a mother called the woman.

"I have to go. See you at the college" he said. "Bye.." she waved her hand at Melin.

"Friends brother?" ask Melin.

"Yes, we're one class." replied Reihan.

Reihan did not respond, he just focused on pushing a wheelchair.

There was still time before Reihan left, so Reihan would accompany Melin to sit casually in the park.

"Look, not all hospitals are as bad as you think" Reihan said.

"Still I don't like." Melin replied.

"If you don't like it, don't be careless anymore. I told you, only you can know when your body needs rest. So don't be forced, and pretend to be strong." Reihan said.

"Yes, sorry." Melin admitted it, she was so excited that she ignored her condition.

"Don't repeat it again. Okay?!"

"Yes..."

"Promise?!"

Melin turned to Reihan who was beside her.

"A lot of promises. I'm afraid I can't keep it.." murmured Melin.

"How much is it?" Reihan was smiling.

"Someone asked me to promise to take care of my heart. Then someone asked me to promise not to be careless anymore. Then..."

Suddenly Reihan's index finger landed on Melin's pale lips. Until it makes the owner silent.

"I'm sorry, if it's burdening you." Reihan lowered his finger.

Melin became misbehaved because of Reihan.

"Mels...?!" that's mama Yunita's voice.

Reihan looked back, then stood up to welcome the arrival of mama Yunita.

"Sorry, mom. I didn't ask permission first. I took Melin for a walk so as not to get bored."

"Yes, Rei. I was just confused earlier when I knew the room was empty." mama Yunita replied.

"You're going back to the room now?" ask Reihan to Melin.

"Still here" he replied.

"Just like mama, Reihan has to go to college." said mama Yunita.

Reihan looked at his watch, it was time for him to leave.

"Then I say yes, ma'am." said Reihan. Then Reihan saw Melin.

"Pamit alone, no need to hesitate." seduced mama Yunita, then passed slightly away.

"Your mama." muttered Reihan as he rubbed his nape.

"Sorry.." Melin replied.

"I'm going first, don't fuss. Poor your mama. I'll be back here soon" Reihan said.

"Yes. Careful, brother." Melin replied.

Already alone, but Reihan did not also move from the front of Melin.

"What's up?" melin asked confusedly.

"No." Reihan stood up. "Go first."

"Yes, brother. Be careful." said Melin.

"She will definitely meet the woman on campus later. Not to mention Anya. Aaah, they are all beautiful. Maybe Rei's brother will fall in love with one of them. Because their meetings were more intense. Mel..., your competition is growing...!!"

So inwardly Melin kept staring at Reihan who was walking further and further away from her.

......................

"Y...!!" greet the flowers when Reihan gets to class. "I don't think you're going in today" he said.

Reihan didn't reply.

"Who's sick?" ask the flowers after Reihan sits on his stool.

"Melin." he replied.

"Your sister?" ask the flowers again.

"Not." she replied briefly.

"Your boyfriend?" this time the flowers seemed to be more careful with his words.

"Em." Reihan only replied with deheman.

"Oh, pretty yeah. Fits just like you. College here too?" reply Flowers by again throwing questions.

"No."

Their chatter stopped because the lecturer had already entered the room. And will deliver the materials soon today.

A few hours later, the school ended. Reihan as soon as possible out of class, he was already very worried about Melin's condition. Because we're at lunch.

"Hurry up, Rei?!" sapa Anya is indeed a class as well with Reihan and Flowers.

"Definitely want to look at his girlfriend." said Bunga.

"Boyfriend?!" mumbled Anya was confused.

"Yes first." said Reihan.

"He must be going to the hospital. I met him this morning when I was dropping off his brother's mama." said Bunga.

"Melin right?" ask Anya.

"Yes, if it's not wrong that's the name Reihan mentioned earlier." reply Flowers.

Anya smirked when she heard the reply of Flowers.

"Is that really her boyfriend? You're from the same school." asked Flowers.

"They are close. But I haven't dated yet. If Melin is the one, she's Reihan's employer. Because Reihan's Melin's bodyguard."

"Employer...?! Bodyguard...?!" sahut Bunga, he did not fully believe.

"Ep. My feelings anyway, maybe Reihan was threatened with something. Reihan will obey." so Anya said.

"It's too bad if it's like that. Her employer wasn't right." Flower's reaction was in line with Anya's expectations.

"Yes, I think so too. Where there is a bodyguard to take care of personal things like that. Bodyguard is a bodyguard for security, time until the employer is sick. Waking up outside the room is enough." Anya is becoming.

The expression of Flowers also made Anya smirk with satisfaction. Because he managed to ignite the fire on his friend.
