MILLY
chapter 55

Dean paused for a moment, before finally turning around, looking towards the source of the sound.

"Dead."

"Yes, Mas. Dean wants to see Milly's mom, huh?" Ask Wati.

"Kok you're still here. He said he's not working with Milly anymore?"

Not answering Wati's question. Dean asked him back. Dean was surprised, because that day Wati said he no longer worked for Milly.

"Mmmm .. Yes. I can't stand Milly alone."

Wati can not honestly say that he was asked by Adrian sir. He's afraid Dean's gonna wonder the others.. And he couldn't have told it honestly.

"Mmm yeah, then I'll go first."

"But Dean didn't meet Milly."

"No, I just happened to pass by."

Dean left Wati. While Wati was convinced, Dean must have come here because he wanted to see Milly. He saw Dean knocking on the door, but he didn't.

***

Long Dean sat in his car, in the parking lot of the Hospital. He thought of himself as if toyed with by a nadip. He has lost Milly and soon he will be engaged and married to Vallen. Is he willing to live with someone he doesn't love?

Dean shook his head, soul and body rejecting it. He sacrificed for the people he loved. Now he has to sacrifice himself again to live with Vallen. Whatever the reason, now Dean doesn't want that to happen.

It was impossible to talk directly to her mother. Dean decided to call someone.

He invited the man to meet.

Dean left the hospital, headed for a cafe, where he promised to meet someone.

Upon entering the cafe, Dean slightly turned his memory. At this place, for the first time, he met Milly again.

Someone stood up, waving his hand at Dean. Dean walked there.

"Hi, Bro. What was? Why suddenly meet?" Ask Jeff, Dean's friend and confidant at the office. If it's at the office, Jeff will call Dean with your call. But outside the office they'll be like regular friends.

"Gua wants the same help, loe," said Dean with a serious face.

"Solicit what please? You all right, Bro?"

Jeff was a little worried, looking at Dean who looked serious and chaotic.

Dean told Jeff what was bothering him. He also shared his relationship with Milly.

Jeff felt sorry for his friend.

"Continue now what will you do?" Jeff asked after hearing Dean's story.

Dean explains in detail what Jeff's job will be. Jeff gladly accepted it and he promised Dean he would do well.

Jeff's gonna take over, all Dean's job in the office. Dean also asks Jeff to shut up about his whereabouts to anyone.

Dean arrived at the apartment his late father had bought. This time he really will not return home and continue his engagement with Vallen.

He will not sacrifice himself to live with someone he does not love.

Initially Dean did it because he wanted to worship his mother. But that was before he met the fake doctor paid for by his mother and Vallen.

Just then, after Dean left Wati. He hurried to the parking lot. In the parking lot he passed a doctor who at that time came to treat his mother.

The doctor was sitting in a wheelchair, pushed by her husband.

Dean greeted the doctor. Dean asked what happened so the doctor used a wheelchair. But Dean felt strange about the reaction of the doctor and also her husband. The doctor looked nervous and frightened.

"I'm sorry, maybe you got the wrong guy. My wife is not a doctor" the doctor's husband said.

The doctor just looked down.

Dean explained to the doctor's husband. After being pushed by her husband and threatened by Dean. The doctor finally admitted his actions. He was asked by Vallen and Dean to pretend to be doctors. And everything that was said about Dean's mama's illness, according to what Vallen said.

"Once again, I'm sorry, I needed money for treatment. That's why I want to do it" said the self-styled doctor. It was Vallen's neighbor.

"I'm sorry my wife, Mom. I didn't know my wife did that."

Dean also forgave the fake doctor, because he could not bear to see him who was sick.

After learning that, Dean chose not to go back to his house. He felt disappointed by his mother.

****

Dean was preparing all the important paperwork he was going to send Jeff. He must send it immediately so that it can be quickly learned by Jeff.

When he finished, Dean closed his laptop. He also kept it in a nightstand drawer located next to the bed. When he opened it, there was one thing in the nightstand drawer that caught Dean's attention.

Dean took the box-shaped item. Dean thinks it may have belonged to his late father. Because before he died, his father had visited the apartment several times.

When I opened it, there was a photo of a girl and a letter inside. Dean read the letter. It turns out it really had his papa. The letter was written by his father to. Someone Dean should look for.

But there was one thing that caught Dean's attention. Dean repeatedly read the boy's name, making him remember someone. Dean also tried to look at the photo more closely.

The photo was probably taken when the boy was five years old. And now he must be an adult. And it would be very difficult to recognize him just from that photo.

Dean began to think about how he could find the child in the photo. He only had the name and photo as his guide.

Even though they have the same name. It is not certain that the woman is the same person as the child in the photo. It is not common in this world that people have the same name.

Dean thought there was no harm in him starting to investigate the woman. If not, he will find another way. But if that's true, can she accept that person as her brother.

Then how did Dean convince him? Will she believe and accept what Dean says?

Dean's head began to be filled with many possibilities that would occur.

Dean was increasingly dizzy thinking about his complicated life.

At that moment, Dean decided to call Jeff. Maybe Jeff can give her a hand.
