"W-what do you mean? " Task Rico nervously.
Plaque!
One slap hit Rico's cheek and created a new cut on the corner of his lip. The slap was so loud that it made his head turn. Alex was even shocked after seeing that.
"What is less than all that my father has given you, Rico? Tell me dad! I'll love everything. But don't believe me, Rico. Don't torture me like gini. "
Rico rubbed the corner of his bloody lips with his thumb then chuckled. He looked at his father with a look of disdain.
"Rico wants Rian alive, and I can't love him, can I? " Tanya Rico cynically.
His father was surprised to hear Rico's question.
"So, is this all because of him? You like this because of him? " Task the Great Master in disbelief.
Alex stared in disbelief at Rico.
"Dad won't understand, I won't know how tortured Rico saw Rian suffer! I don't know, Rian is like a brother to Rico. I will not know what it feels like to be the person who knows the suffering of his own best friend but can not do anything to help. " Said Rico while occasionally sobbing.
"How does it feel to squirm your best friend to die in plain sight and Rico can't do anything. Rian will live if Rico is not silent, I do not know how torturing the guilt, I will not know! "
Rico's eyes were puffy and reddened and his breathing roared.
"Dad don't know! But, don't be stupid Rico! You live like this won't bring the dead back to life! " Snapped the Great Lord made the people in the room flinch.
"Conscious! Rian doesn't exist and you have to accept that. " Advanced Great Lord gave an understanding.
But Rico went berserk and overwhelmed the nurses. The Great Lord ordered the nurses to stay away from Rico and he came forward to approach his son.
"You feel like you've become a hotshot with this whole thing, huh?! Right here! Fight father! "
Rico clenched his hands while approaching his father in anger.
Bugh! Bugh!
Rico had not had time to throw a punch, two strokes hit his left cheek and stomach. Rico fell on the floor with a sharp look on his father. The one who looked looked looked looked cold.
Rico went on a rampage and the Great Lord immediately deployed his bodyguards to help the nurses until Rico finally regained his composure after being given a sedative injection. On the other hand Alex looked sculpted after witnessing it.
'Gue didn't expect you to make it to this gini, Rico. '
Alex who could not bear such circumstances immediately went out of the room. The Great Lord simply turned his head, staring at Alex's departure with a hard-to-understand look. Afterwards sighed without any intention of catching Alex out.
Meanwhile, the rehabilitation center is holding a seminar. Chelsea sat down with some of his roommates despite initial doubts. He doesn't like to sit with people who are strangers to him. Chelsea also do not like seminars because he thinks it is very boring. But Chelsea are forced to attend the seminar now.
Quite unexpectedly, it turns out that the seminar was not boring as Chelsea expected. Chelsea eyes occasionally sparkle when hearing every motivational word from motivators who fill the seminar material. Chelsea smiled when she realized something.
'I think I need to get into this kayak place. '
The seminar only lasted half an hour and instead of making Chelsea happy it disappointed him. After the seminar there are still other activities, namely worship. Everyone there began to enter their own places of worship. And what Chelsea did was just stand by his own mind.
'How long have I forgotten the Creator? '
...***...
The sky is getting brighter confirming that the day is moving. Alex was sitting in the waiting chair. After exiting Rico's nursery, Alex sat pensively and was like that for almost an hour. And the Great Lord had not been seen leaving the nursery of his son.
Alex's legs began to feel sore and tingling. Alex straightened his legs in that lonely looking hallway. He breathed and then tried to calm down. The truth that was revealed before his eyes seemed very difficult to accept. Until he had to breathe a few times and try to calm down.
Cclek
The sound of the door opening made Alex turn his head and finally found the Great Lord coming out with his bodyguard. Alex suddenly stood up and bowed respectfully making the Great Lord smile thinly.
"Let's have lunch first, Mr. Lexan. " Take the Great Lord and then leave immediately.
Alex followed the Great Lord's steps then the bodyguards followed the two. The Great Lord walked towards the roof top of the hospital building and made Alex frown. But then his eyes widened when he saw the roof top that was available a dining table with food lined on it. The sun was blocked by the tent that stood firmly guarding the table and chairs there.
The Great Lord walked towards that table and Alex still followed him. After being invited to sit in one of the chairs, Alex tried to enjoy the food despite looking awkward.
'Great Master can be as good as this me after mukulin his son, I so confused should consider him a good person or psychopath? '
Although his mind was filled with many things but Alex tried to stay calm and behave accordingly. While the Great Lord looked at Alex several times and then smiled faintly. He knew very well Alex was having a lot of thoughts despite trying to hide.
"I'm sorry I had to show you that bad thing in front of you. I know you were very surprised by what I did to Rico. "
Alex felt bad when he heard the Great Lord apologizing to him.
The Great Lord smiled again and made Alex smile.
"At this young age you can be mature, I feel you deserve to be proud. "
Alex bowed.
"I feel unworthy, Big Master. "
"Never be so humble when you are able, Mr. Lexan. "
After that there were many small conversations that filled their lunch time. The atmosphere was a little more relaxed than before. They seem to be getting closer to each other. Proven by the laughter that sounded due to the joke that several times thrown.
"You turned out to be a fun chatter buddy, you could quickly change my mood. "
The Great Master seemed very happy and made Alex smile.
"Thank you, Big Master. Maybe next time we should have tea together. "
"I totally agree, let's set the time and place. " The Great Lord's reply made Alex think straight away.
"What if after all these matters are settled, Great Lord? "
"You have a lot of ideas that make me easily agree, it seems like you easily understand me. " Answer to the Great Lord who seems very flattered.
Alex chuckles.
"You praise me too much, lest I get big head and make you upset yourself later. " Alex's reply made the two chuckle.
"Here you go, let's finish this lunch and let's talk about it next time. Otherwise this lunch really won't be finished until dinner time comes. " Canda Great Lord made the two again chuckle.
"Of course, come. "
And they actually finished lunch quickly. Suddenly a bodyguard approached the Great Lord and whispered something. Alex frowned then turned his gaze on the blue sky that stretched wide with decorated several thin clouds.
The wind blew making a sultry feeling because the scorching sun that whack Alex's body disappeared instantly. Alex tried not to care even though he was very curious. Especially when he saw the changed look on the face of the Great Lord.
"Mr Lexan, let's follow me. "
Without much asking Alex immediately got up from his seat and walked after the Great Lord. Several bodyguards followed them back inside the Xil group hospital building. They quickly reached the room of the Chief Director of the hospital which was on the top floor.
The moment the Great Lord and Alex walked in there the President Director immediately greeted them. It appears a formal looking man in a black suit patterned with gray lines lining the light gray turtleneck knitting t-shirt he wears. The clear glasses with the gold-colored frame worn did not make Alex have any trouble guessing the man's age.
'He's a grown-up, but I know he's still a high school boy. My guess can't be wrong. '
And sure enough, that man is 'Nareska Dalfa De Adhitama'. Cousin Rico and Chelsea who are also the youngest son of the only brother of Lord Xil is the owner of Adhitama Corporation. The Great Lord greeted Alfa kindly and vice versa.
"What brings you here, Al? Isn't today a holiday? "Ask the Great Lord after they sat together on the sofa.
Alfa smiled and made both dimples printed clear. His eyes narrowed slightly and reminded Alex of Rian. Alex smiled wryly in light of that.
"I don't know where to start, Uncle Xil. But, I came here on Saka's orders. "
The Great Lord frowned.
"What's going on? Did something bad happen? " Tanya the Great Lord made Alfa sigh.
"Begini Uncle Xil, Saka has been taking care of the Malaysian branch of Adhitama Corporation for several years and all is well. But, a few days ago, the company's stock dropped dramatically. After searching, we finally found the culprit. "
Alfa hung up her words and made Alex and the Great Lord frown.
"Who did it? Uncle will help Saka solve this problem. "
Alfa hesitates to answer and makes Alex suspicious.
'Don't tell me it's what I thought it was. '
"The problem is Rico, Uncle Xil. "
The Great Lord closed his eyes then clucked. His hands were raised to massage the base of the nose. Alex did not believe it.
"The boy really wanted to kill me. "
Meanwhile, Rico is alone in his ward. His phone was still in his grasp after getting a message from his men a moment ago. Now he looks so happy even to laugh.
"Good fun with this surprise, Dad. "
