ALEETA'S WORRIES

At ten o'clock in the morning Rendra finally forced himself to get up. He couldn't let his body continue to lie on the bed. Must have breakfast and take medicine so that his condition quickly improves.

"Browse untuk umum...." Malika immediately approached her cousin after seeing Rendra out of the room. Holding his left arm while Ryan held his shoulders. They then walked slowly towards the sofa in the living room of the apartment.

"Brother breakfast, first, huh. After that take medicine. Keep resting again." Malika looked at Rendara's face which looked pale. Waiting for a response from the man.

Rendara only responded to his cousin's words with a nod. His head was still very dizzy and he was reluctant to speak.

After finishing half of his portion of warm breakfast, Rendra immediately drank the medicine that had been provided by Ryan and Malika.

"I want to sleep again." Not waiting for an answer from the two people beside him, Rendra stepped into the room and lay back down there.

"Honey, you just go shopping at the supermarket, okay? I'm here to accompany Sis Rendra. I was worried that he would be left alone." Malika held Ryan's hand, hoping that her lover would comply with her request. Of course, with a pitifully spoiled face, Malika's mainstay of course.

While Rendra was still asleep earlier, Malika did have time to check the refrigerator and kitchen. Turns out, everything was empty. It seems that Rendra's busy schedule has prevented the man from filling up the things he needs that have run out.

Malika knows they are very busy. She could also see this from her girlfriend, who recently found it very difficult to have free time even to just meet. In fact, Rendra and Ryan spend more time in the office.

Rendra is an independent man. Even to clean his quite spacious apartment, he did it alone. It's not that he can't afford the help of a household member, but the man doesn't like it when other people touch his personal belongings. Not infrequently he also cooks himself when he has free time. However, only Malika and Ryan knew about Rendara's skill.

"Yes Dear. Even though I want to spend this holiday with you, I still have a conscience towards your cousin." Ryan brought malika's hand closer to his lips and gave it a soft kiss there.

"Thank you darling." Malika hugged Ryan's body tightly.

The atmosphere of one of the largest supermarkets in the city is quite busy today because it coincides with the weekend. Armed with the note that Malika wrote on Ryan's cellphone earlier, the man is now walking down every aisle in the supermarket to look for what is written there. His sharp eyes read the writing on the cellphone and the items neatly arranged on the shelf.

Counted an hour already Ryan was there. The shopping basket he was pushing was already pretty much filled. But the man was still looking for a few more things to complete the notes on his cellphone. When he was about to take one of the items on the shelf, suddenly someone also took the same item.

"Miss Aleeta?"

"Mr. Rendra?"

They said their words in unison.

"Wow, it turns out that Mrs. Aleeta is shopping too, huh." Ryan glanced at Aleeta's shopping basket which was almost full.

"Yes sir. It just so happened that it was time to go shopping." Aleeta smiled kindly. "Mr. Rendra alone?" asked Aleeta who was also not with someone.

"Oh, yes, Mrs. Aleeta. Incidentally my assistant was sick. So I'm alone. It's outside office hours anyway, so I can let him rest."

"Mr. Ryan is sick?" asked Aleeta quickly after Ryan finished his sentence. "Is it because of the rain last night that he got sick?" Aleeta thought.

Ryan caught the worry on Aleeta's face. "Yes, Miss Aleeta. This morning he called me. That's why I'm here now."

Aleeta didn't seem to understand what the man in front of her said. What is the relationship between Rendra's illness and Ryan's presence at the supermarket? Shouldn't Ryan be in Rendra's apartment to take care of the guy? Or more logically he drove his assistant to the hospital, maybe?

"I mean, I was buying the necessities for my assistant which turned out to be out of stock." Ryan seemed to know Aleeta's confusion.

"Oh, you really are a good boss, Mr. Rendra. This is the first time I have seen a boss who is willing to push a shopping cart to buy his assistant's needs. Your caring is extraordinary, Mr. Rendra." Aleeta tried to respond to Ryan's words. Although his mind was still on Rendra.

"Then how is Mr. Ryan's current condition, Sir?" Aleeta asked again.

Hearing Aleeta's question, Ryan's brain immediately worked. Brilliant ideas began to appear in his mind.

"Ryan has a pretty high fever. The last time I left him, he was asleep." Ryan answered still with a look that didn't move from Aleeta one bit.

"You left him alone?"

Ryan nodded, he could see the worry there.

"Yes, Miss Alleta. That's why I apologize, because I have to hurry to get back there, I'm worried if something happens to my assistant for being away for too long. Then I'll excuse myself, Mrs. Alleta." Ryan immediately left Alleta after returning to take things that he had not taken.

As he walked Ryan smiled. In his heart he was sure that soon she would call him back.

"Mr. Rendra! Wait!" With quick steps, Aleeta followed Ryan. "Sir, if I may, I want to see the condition of Mr. Ryan. Actually last night he helped me. I also want to thank Pak Ryan," explained Aleeta as she stood beside Ryan.

"Oh, all right, Miss Aleeta. Then you can come with me."

Aleta nodded and smiled. "Thank you, Mr. Rendra."

"You're welcome, Mrs. Aleeta."

After completing their respective grocery payments, Aleeta decided to go with Ryan to Rendra's apartment. Previously, Aleeta had ordered someone to take her shopping that she had left.

There was no conversation in the car. Aleeta was reluctant even if it was just small talk to talk to Ryan. His mind was still haunted by his guilt towards Rendara.

"It's an honor for Mrs. Aleeta to visit my assistant." Ryan tried to start a conversation.

"I just want to make sure Mr Ryan is okay. I'm just worried he's sick from helping me last night. I don't want to be indebted to other people." Aleeta answered firmly.

"Okay, Mrs. Alleta, I understand."

Ryan didn't continue the conversation anymore. He knows Aleeta is not like other women who can be talked to small talk.

Ryan returned to focus on driving the car they were riding. After 20 minutes, the car arrived at a luxury apartment in the capital area.

After taking the elevator and arriving at the room they were going to. Ryan taped a card on the door, and he quickly pushed open the door. The situation in the room was quite quiet because the owner was sleeping in his room.

Malika? Don't ask where the woman is. Ryan had sent a message to his girlfriend. I don't know what message the man sent to make Malika leave her cousin.
