The Four Emirs
Alea and Chris ... In Different Circumstances
Manhattan New York
Two months after the Enzo incident, the lives of all Pratomo clans returned to normal as well as Alea who was increasingly preoccupied with the many clients of his company who asked him as an interior design.
As a result his relationship with Chris was stretched because the man was busy with his work as a detective at SVU. Communication between the two was only limited to a phone that could not be long and a short message, making Alea question whether to bring this relationship even though his feelings to Chris have not been deep but arguably the man was his first love.
A man outside of his family that he could look at directly without hesitation. Alea was upset on her face at dinner at home with her parents.
Ezra and Keia look at each other to see her daughter lose her appetite in the last few days.
"The princess? You sick?" ask Ezra slowly.
Alea shook her head.
"A lot of work?" ask Ezra again.
Alea nodded.
"Kei, don't you Bebani Alea dong! Pity our daughter" rebuked Ezra.
"Eh? I'm not burdening. Alea asked for it himself" Keia said.
"But baby..."
"Mom, Dad, Alea is full. Excuse me." The girl also left the dining table after finishing her meal making both her parents gawk.
"How long hasn't Alea seen Chris?" Ezra looked at his daughter's seemingly uninspired back.
"This month is about. Chris is much busier at SVU than on patrol." Keia looked sadly at her daughter.
"Do I need to tell the commissioner to have Chris transferred to a section that is not busy at SVU or homocide?"
Keia stared horror at Ezra. "Not to interfere, baby! Let Alea and Chris finish on their own because in this way, each of them will know how to actually feel."
"But our daughter is like that Keia..." Ezra's face looked sad. It may be someone else he makes darting but the weakness is that he can't see his daughter sad.
"Ezra, unfortunately Keia, listen. It's Alea's process of becoming an adult because all this time you, me, all her sisters, have always protected her because she's bullshit. But, it's time for Alea to mature because she wants 20 next Sunday. Let her express her feelings and I'm sure Alea can handle it." Keia looked at her husband's face seriously.
"But if Chris makes her cry, don't stop me from beating her!" ezra said.

Inside her room, Alea simply stared at the ceiling of her room which was painted in soft pink. Chris hasn't had a message in a week, not even a message. Alea stared at her phone with mostly messages from her cousins in group chats.
Enzo gives a photo of himself choosing a vacation to Silverstone this month to help his girlfriend Georgina. After Reyhan and Paradina give the green light, Enzo announces that he already has a lover.
Of course Enzo news has not become one of the most eligible bachelor, making trending topics in all social media. Coupled with all Emir of Dubai already sold out.
Alea smiled faintly reading the messages of all her cousins who congratulated Enzo and Georgi. The girl was happy to see her brother get a good lover and not materialistic because in his family, the matre people can not be a place.
Where are you Chris? How come there's no news.
Suddenly Alea's phone rang and appeared on the screen 'Chris Bradford' name there. Alea's face immediately sumringah.
"Assalamualaikum Chris.." said cheerfully.
"Miss Hamilton's..." Alea freezes. "Is this really Miss Alea Hamilton's number?"
"Yes. I'm Alea Hamilton... Where's Chris?" Alea's feelings were already bad.
"I'm Samson Tutuola, Chris' partner... Im sorry. Chris was injured and is now in Bellevue..."
Alea screamed hysterically as Ezra and Keia ran towards her daughter's room.
"Mommy! Mommy's! Chris, mommy!" yelled Alea hysterically. Keia hugged her daughter.
Ezra took his daughter's phone.
"Hello Chris! What are you..."
"Mr Hamilton's. I'm Samuel Tutuola Chris Bradford's partner. I'm sorry to give you the sad news, Chris got hurt and is now in Bellevue hospital..."
"He's not dead, is he?" stricken Hardik Ezra hears his daughter's lover is hurt.
"Well, we're going to Bellevue now!" Ezra looked at his daughter's face that didn't stop crying. "Alea, Chris is strong! Joey took care of him. We're going to the hospital now!"
Alea simply nodded and walked over with Keia.

The Bellevue Hospital
Sam Tutuola saw Hamilton's family approaching. Ezra who was already emotion immediately pulled Sam's shirt.
"What's going on? Huh huh? How did Chris get hurt? You are his partner!" snapped Ezra angry.
"Daddy..." Alea held Ezra's hand. "Please. Sam, where's Chris?"
Ezra let go of his grip.
Sam saw that the cute girl's face looked messy and her tears did not stop flowing. "Let's come with me Alea..."
The four headed to the floor of the ICU room and met Joey there who was talking to a middle-aged woman wearing a hijab seemed to cry as much as they could.
"Bang Joey!" call Alea who immediately rushed over to her brother. Joey hugged his sister tightly.
"Patience to Lea. Chris is still not going through a critical period" Joey whispered.
Alea saw from the glass that Chris was on a bed with various cables and hoses on his body and his head bandaged.
"What happened bang?" aela asked as she put her face and hands on the glass.
"That's..."
"Alea?" a feminine voice made Alea turn her head. "You're Alea, right?"
"I.iya. Sorry mom ... Aminah's mom?" Alea looked at that shady face. "Chris's mom?"
"Yes Alea. I finally met you, son..." Aminah hugged Alea and the two wept at each other.
Ezra saw how Chris was and stared intently at Sam Tutuola.
"Now tell me what happened Sam! I want the story!"
Samuel Tutuola looked at the two old men Alea with a slight tremble.
"Chris is a month old masquerading as a diner at a drug bar that sells ruffie and Chems3x for the latest drug rape. And during that disguise, he had already obtained some samples of medicine. Last night when Chris came to the bar, there was a trial attempt at the bar's bathroom*saan. Chris was trying to catch the culprit while I was in my car. As Chris was about to capture, the perpetrator shot Chris in the shoulder and a bullet grazed his head and most severely his stomach..."
"His heart was hit by a bullet and I just took it out, the condition has lost a lot of blood. And I just asked for help from colleagues who have O blood to donate blood" Joey continued.
"Will he survive J?" asked Ezra who could not bear to see his daughter slumped like that.
"Honestly, I don't know Oom. This is it Chris hasn't gone through his critical period." Joey looked sadly at Alea who was embracing Aminah.
"Have you been caught?" ask Ezra.
"Not Sir. Our ranks are hunting him."
Ezra hardened his jaw. "I'm calling Duo B."
Sam gawking. "Don't tell me you called Bryan and Benji Smith."
"Of course I called them! I'll finish that son of the b1tch myself because he made my daughter cry!" Ezra took his phone. "Hello Bry."
Keia approached Aminah and met each other.
