2 THE FIRST TIME

"Nay, this is water and a towel." said Zanna, carrying a basin of water and a small towel in her hand.

"Hm..bring it here Zan." said Nayla as she received a basin filled with water, with a small dry towel.

"Nay, I'll stay ahead first, I want to explain to the deputy head of the village about the incident, the person is now outside." said Zanna to Nayla then walked out of the room.

Nayla who was a little awkward still sat in her place.

With a deep sigh, Nayla put the towel in the basin filled with water.

After wetting the towel she was holding, Nayla started to clean Ardian's bleeding forehead, the slightly dry blood was rather difficult to clean apart from having to press it a little.

Maybe because it was painful, Ardian, who just came to his senses, reflexively held Nayla's hand which was still on his forehead.

"Ouch." moaned Ardian while holding Nayla's hand which was still pressing on his forehead.

Nayla was so shocked that she brushed Ardian's hand a little hard.

"Em ... sorry sir, I didn't mean to." Nayla said nervously, because she rudely brushed off the hand of a village head who should be respected.

"Why you are here? in my room?" Ardian asked quietly as he tried to lean back.

Nayla is confused whether to answer it or not, even if she will explain it Nayla doesn't know where to explain it from, if she didn't answer it was afraid Ardian would think nonsense.

"Well, Mr. Ardian, I apologize in advance, Zanna and I accidentally bumped into you, and to make up for that mistake we brought and took care of you." explained Nayla with her face down, cursing why Zanna hadn't come yet.

Ardian listened to Nayla's story seriously, even though he knew that the mistake was due to Zanna, Ardian was not at all angry with Nayla or at Zanna.

"So as long as I am still sick, you two are responsible for taking care of me, is that what you mean?" Ardian asked in a deep voice.

"Em ... no sir ... I mean just today and it should be Zanna who did it, not me." said Nayla trying to explain what she was saying.

"Where is Zanna now?" Ardian asked patiently.

"That's sir, Zanna said goodbye for a moment to explain everything to your representative, but until now she hasn't returned, Sir." Nayla replied, getting annoyed with Zanna.

"Okay, now I want to ask who will take care of me today?" Ardian asked smiling to himself.

"Em ... how come sir, the problem that hit you was not me, but Zanna." said Nayla refusing because she felt innocent.

"Well I can't force you to take care of me, even though I need it for today only because Umma will come home to see her sick child." said Ardian while massaging his right wrist.

"What's wrong with your wrist?" Nayla asked when she saw Ardian grimace while massaging his wrist.

"Maybe I sprained it when I got hit." Ardian replied softly while trying to move his hand.

Seeing Ardian who was injured because of Zanna, Nayla couldn't bear to do it.

"Wait a minute, sir, I'll call Zanna first." said Nayla as she took her cellphone from her bag, and immediately called Zanna.

However, Nayla repeatedly pressed the call button and could not connect at all.

"Em ... it looks like Zanna's cellphone is not active, sir." said Nayla, feeling restless.

Ardian was silent for a moment, then looked at Nayla's face which looked scared.

"Are you scared?" Ardian asked attentively.

Nayla nodded slowly.

"I actually just came back from town, I am Mr. Sasongko's daughter and earlier Zanna picked me up, so until this afternoon I haven't met my family.." Nayla explained, clutching her cellphone tightly.

"Okay, you can go home, tell Zanna next time you have to drive carefully." said Ardian who felt sorry for Nayla.

"The problem is sir, I forgot the way to my house, the changes during the three years have been very rapid." clearly Nayla again felt bad about Ardian's kindness.

"Okay, I'll take you." said Ardian despite his unhealthy condition because of his head hit and sprained wrist.

Enduring the dizziness in his head, Ardian got up and got off the bed, but when Ardian was about to stand up, his head seemed to spin and his body swayed and almost fell if Nayla didn't hold him.

Seeing Ardian's condition which made it impossible for him to stand up, Nayla helped Ardian lie down again on the bed.

"It is better if you lie down first, maybe you feel dizzy because your head is injured." said Nayla while fixing Ardian's blanket.

Ardian closed his eyes for a moment to relax his dizziness.

"I'm sorry I couldn't take you home, if you wanted I would call my representative to pick you up." said Ardian who didn't want to trouble Nayla.

"Really sir?" Nayla asked in disbelief, Ardian was truly a kindhearted person who looked very patient.

"Yes, of course." Ardian replied as he was about to call his representative.

Nayla's heart could not bear to see Ardian, who had difficulty pressing the call button, because the wrist can not be moved and it is obvious that it is swollen.

"Em...Mr. Ardian, you should just rest, let me take care of you. hopefully before night you are better." said Nayla, making a decision which she thought was right because Ardian looked very good.

"Then how about your family? surely they are now waiting for you?" said Ardian feeling uneasy.

"It's okay, let me message them." said Nayla.

"Let me talk to your parents." said Ardian feeling responsible because it had taken Nayla's time.

"Don't sir, the problem will be complicated if my parents find out, now it's best for you to rest so that you can recover quickly." said Nayla seeing Ardian getting pale.

"Em... What is your name?" asked Ardian who did not feel comfortable being called by a father.

"I am Nayla sir." Nayla replied briefly.

"Alright Nayla, since I already know your name you can just call me Ardian." said Ardian while enduring the pain in his wrist.

"Nay, can I ask someone to call someone so they can come here to massage me, I seem to have sprained my wrist." said Ardian while handing his cellphone with his left hand.

Nayla received Ardian's cell phone a little nervously.

"You can find his name on the contact name Bi Jum massage." said Ardian looking at Nayla's face, who looked hesitant to open his cellphone.

"The phone is locked, sir." said Nayla who couldn't just call Ardian's name.

Ardian's face was a little complicated when Nayla asked for his cellphone code.

"How much is the code pack?" Nayla asked looking at Ardian's face.

"070296." Ardian replied staring at Nayla, curious about the reaction on Nayla's face.

Nayla was silent for a moment, when she heard the code Ardian gave her.

"Why is the number code the same as my birthday?" Nayla asked herself.
