"And. sorry. Who are you?" Ask the man called "Uncle Idham" by Rinaya, just a moment ago.
I stretched out my right hand and introduced myself.
"Include me, I'm Aro!" Say it while smiling.
Idham welcomed my hand and introduced himself.
"Idham. Karina's foster sister!" Say it with a straightforward answer.
"..."
'Why do I not like this guy? Is it because she was a little too tight when she touched my hand, making me feel sick?' I murmured in my heart.
"Daddy Idham?!"
My and Idham's gaze immediately fell on Karina who had just woken up.
Her wavy hair looked messy at this moment. I unconsciously smiled too. Moreover, the woman did not rush to fix her messy hair. However, what happened then, made the smile on my face disappear instantly.
Suddenly Idham walked until he was next to Karina. Then he rubbed Karina's hair a few times, in order to tidy up the messy hair.
I cringe not like it. I don't know because of what. I was confused myself. Because today there's a lot of things that I don't understand why.
I see Karina a little bit avoiding the touch of Idham's hand. And it makes me feel better.
"Sister's home yet? Isn't it still a week away at Pearl?" Tanya Karina greeted Idham.
"I heard that Rinaya was sick. So I took the fastest flight home" replied Idham in a relaxed manner.
"Is the business over there over?" Karina asked in amazement.
"Yet. I will be back there in the afternoon. Have you eaten, Rin?" Ask Idham suddenly.
"Not yet. oh, yes Brother. This is my friend, Erlan!" Karina suddenly said when she saw me.
"uh? Erlans? Not Aro?" Ask Idham either to me or Karina.
Karina frowned confusedly. He didn't know that I had introduced myself as Aro to Idham. Finally, I hurriedly explained.
"Aro that's my name for business colleagues and the like. While Erlan was my familiar call from the closest people," I replied smoothly.
"Oh. You've already met!" Said Karina who was just aware of the situation.
"Mama.. Rinai's hungry.."
The soft words that came out of Rinaya's mouth instantly broke the conversation of the three of us.
At once our attention was focused on the pale face of my little girl.
"Rinaya! Are you awake, honey??!" The new Karina exclaimed that Rinaya had regained consciousness.
Dici um her cheeks and forehead Rinaya several times. Only then did he ask the condition of his daughter, as I had asked my little girl.
Rinaya gave a similar answer. It's just that he added.
"Nai wants to eat, Ma.. Nai is hungry." said Rinaya in a soft voice.
"Yes, Honey! Mom, call the doctor first. Mama's gonna get some food for Nai. Nai wait a minute, okay?"
To Idham, Karina then said, "Sister, I'll call the doctor first? Titip Rinai for a moment" said Karina.
As for me, the woman said, "Lan, I'm staying!"
I nodded in response to Karina's words.
After that, Karina left. It was me, Idham and Rinaya in that room.
Soon after, Karina returned with a doctor and a nurse.
The doctor checked my little girl's condition. I also heard the doctor's explanation, hoping for anxiety near the Rinaya bankar.
"Thank God, Dik Rinaya has passed her critical period. Now he just needs to focus on recovery. Brother, you're gonna have a good meal, honey?" The woman's doctor greeted Rinaya.
"Yes, Doctor. Rinaya is hungry." answered my little girl so funny.
"Wahh that's good. Just a minute, yeah. Soon someone will bring you some porridge for Dik Rinaya. It will be eaten until it's over, right?" The doctor's message is back for Rinaya.
"Yes, Doctor's Mom.."
"good. Same medicine as well. Drink it, honey?" The doctor's message is back.
This time, Rinaya did not answer immediately. After a pause of a few seconds, Rinaya replied.
"Is the medicine bitter, Doctor?" Rinaya asked timidly.
"There's a sweet. There is bitter. Also called medicine. But what Dik Rinaya needs to remember, all medicine is good! So taken until the drug runs out too? Dikir Rinaya wants to heal, right? Want to play again, right, guys?" Ask the Doctor.
"...mmm.yeah, Miss Doctor. Nai wants to play again with Mbak Kunti." replied Rinaya with her innocent face.
Instantly, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became silent.
I glanced at the face of the Doctor Ma who looked surprised and confused by the words of my little girl.
I don't want to be smiling. And I caught sight of Karina's eyes who was also smiling clumsily. Be that as it may, we exchanged smiles in silence.
"Then. Thank you, Doctor ma'am!" Idham suddenly cut off my eye contact with Karina's eyes.
"Yes, both sir. Please take care of his son yes, sir!" Said Doctor Ma'am while giving Idham a friendly smile.
He thought Idham was Rinaya's father. But Karina hurriedly corrected the assumption of the Doctor Ma'am.
"He's Rinaya's uncle, Doc!" Karina Correction.
"Oh! I'm sorry.means this father is yes, his daddy? Then, excuse me. Dik Rinaya's chest!" The doctor is in a hurry.
This time Karina did not have time to correct the wrong assumption of the doctor against my true identity. But I have no objection. Instead I feel a little happy because I was considered the father of Rinaya.
A single smile I unconsciously looked at my face.
"I'm sorry, Lan. The doctor mistook you for.." Karina suddenly apologized to me.
"Yes. It's okay, Rin. Just relax." I mean it.
Shortly afterwards a nurse brought in food for Rinaya along with her medication to take.
Karina rushed to feed her daughter. Yet..
"Nai wants to be bribed with Uncle." said Nai with a potes tone.
At once Idham approached Rinaya and said, "it's okay, Rin. Let me be the.."
Idham's speech is cut off by Rinaya's following.
"Not Uncle Idham.but Uncle is good..!" Rinaya's protests continue.
Instantly, the atmosphere in the in-room became awkward.
Clumsily, I approached Rinaya. Then take over the plate containing the food for her.
"I'm sorry, Lan. I took care of you." said Karina, embarrassed.
"It's okay. I used to feed her back there, too, right?" I'm spontaneous.
That's where I meant when we were in Nevarest.
Rather, my words made Idham confused. So that young man suddenly joined in my conversation and Karina.
"there? Where do you mean, Rin? Don't tell me. He also belongs to the cabal that kidnapped you?!" Istham with a piercing look.
Instantly, the atmosphere in the room turned tense.
