4. The Man

"Hendra, why are you silent? Does my question weigh you down?" Adelia protested to Hendra, who was secretly fascinated by Adelia.

"It's not like that, Del."

"Then answer my question," Adelia pleaded like a whining baby asking her father for a toy.

"Alright, so here goes—"

Knock ... Knock ... Knock …

Unfinished, Hendra continued his words, and the treatment room door opened. An elderly man appears behind the door with a plastic bag in his right and left hands.

"Dad!" This time Adelia was able to recognize her father quickly.

"Hi, son, how are you this morning? Well, you look very cheerful."

"I'm fine, Dad. I was talking to Hendra Before Dad came.

Seeing Adiwangsa struggling with his luggage, Hendra stood up from his seat and said " " May I help you, sir?"

"No need, Sonny, I can do it. Stay where you are."

"Dad brought what? Lots of plastic bags."

"Hahaha, this is a stock of food for you and Nak Hendra for the next few days, you must be tired of hospital food, right?"

"I think that's too much, Sir."

"No, son Hendra, this is enough for you. Wait, I brought you something you must try."Adiwangsa's hand was looking for something in the two plastic bags he was carrying. "I think I left it in the car."

"Let's go to the car, sir."Hendra volunteered.

"All Right, Son. I asked for his help, yes. Here are the car keys."

Hendra received the car keys handed by Adiwangsa and then rushed to walk to the parking lot.

The lobby of Yogyakarta city hospital

Brak …

It looks like two young men collided with each other. Flowers, greeting cards, wallets, and car keys fell scattered.

"Oh, I'm sorry, brother, I'm in a hurry." While clearing up the fallen items, a young man began to open his mouth to apologize.

"No problem."Hendra smiled and bowed, intending to help the stranger pick up his things. This photo? Hendra took a wallet that was wide open due to a fall.

"Oh, that's a picture of me and someone who means a lot to me, Sis. I came here to see her."

Hendra was stunned. Is this a coincidence? Hendra's inner self.

"Sis, are you okay?" said the young man destroying the chain of thoughts that began to be arranged in Hendra's mind.

"Oh, yes, I'm fine. Here's your wallet." He gave the brown wallet he was holding. "By the way, may I know what your name is?"

"Sure, sis, introduce me Chan, a student of the Faculty of Engineering, Atma Jaya University."Chan held out his hand.

Hendra welcomed a helping hand from Chan and replied, " I'm Hendra."

"Em ... Big Brother's family is being treated in this hospital?"

"Yes, my relatives are being treated here".

"Well brother, I wish your relatives a speedy recovery. Excuse me, brother."

"Oh well, see you back."

Hendra continued his steps towards the parking lot, and he pressed the button on the car key and 'Pim! Pim!', Mr Adiwangsa's car gave a code about his whereabouts. Hendra opened the car door, looked for something left there, and took it out. With his official steps, Hendra brought what turned out to be a food box to Adelia's treatment room.

Ceklak …

"That must be Hendra," said Adiwangsa, who was waiting for Hendra's arrival.

Hendra opened the door, entered the room and closed it again. "I'm sorry I took so long, Sir."

"No problem, Sonny."

Hendra handed the food box to Adiwangsa, whispering, " Sir, I just met the man in Adelia's photo."

Hearing Hendra's low voice, Mr Adiwangsa was shocked, and his face turned serious. "Ahem, son Hendra, can you accompany me to buy coffee? Ah, I just forgot about it."

"With pleasure sir."

"Del, dad and Hendra go out for a while, you continue eating and get some rest." Adiwangsa and Hendra stepped out of the treatment room.

"Son Hendra, where did you meet the young man?"

"In the hospital lobby, Sir. I accidentally collided with him when I was about to go to the parking lot."

"Why did he come here?"

"She brought a bunch of flowers, to visit someone who is very valuable in her life. That's what the young man told me."

"Is it possible that what is meant is Adelia?"

The canteen of Yogyakarta city hospital

"Ma'am."

"Yes, sir, what do you want?"

"Son Hendra, what do you want to drink?"

"Coffee milk only Sir".

"Okay, coffee milk two Ya Ma'am".

"Well sir, are there any other additions?"

"You want to eat?"

"Oh no, I'm still full Mr. Adiwangsa."

"Okay. There is no ma'am."

"Please wait, Sir!"

The waiter left table number 11 in the corner of the hospital cafeteria. It looks clean and tidy with simple Javanese architecture. Several tables and chairs are neatly arranged and clean in the canteen area. The atmosphere is quiet, and buyers fill only a few tables.

[Hello. What's up?]

The Voice of a young man who had just arrived averted the eyes of other diners. The young man seemed so busy with his phone that he did not pay attention to his surroundings.

"Mr. Adiwangsa, that man—"

"What happened to Hendra? Is there a problem?"

"That's the guy I met this morning. She's in the photo of Adelia."

Instantly, Mr Adiwangsa widened his eyes. He took out the photo that Hendra meant from his pocket. Since finding it, Adiwangsa always carries the photo wherever he goes.

"I think you're right, Hendra. How dare he still be here."

"Wait sir, what are you going to do?"

"I'll teach him a lesson!"

"Sir, remember our purpose! Is this your way to get it?"

Adiwangsa was silent, " if you commit violence, you will destroy at your own pace. We have to play pretty Sir."

"Alright, then what are we going to do?"

"Let me take action this time!"Hendra moved closer to Chan's table.

"Hello Chan, Are you here?"

"Brother this morning?"

"Hendra, My Name Is Hendra"

"Ah yes, that's what I mean. Please brother!"

"Thank you. You still here?"

"Em ... yes sis"

"By the way, Have you met someone you are looking for in this hospital?" ask Hendra to investigate.

"Not yet, brother. I was walking around looking for her treatment room, but suddenly a friend called me. So I answer the phone here first."

"I see. Do you know the treatment room?"

"UM ... already sis, flamboyant room number two is empty."

Exactly, it was Adelia's treatment room. So undoubtedly, this young man in the photo is Adelia. Hendra's inner conclusions.

Kring ... Kring …

Chan looked at his phone screen. 'Lecturer Of Engineering.

"Brother Hendra, I ask permission to answer the phone first."

"Okay, please!"

Chan immediately answered the call.

[Hello, Good Morning]

[Chan, meet me in the lecture hall right now, yes, there is a big project for you,] said the man on the other end of the phone.

[Now, Sir?]

[Yes, Chan, What are you waiting for? This project is very good for your prospects. Are you going to waste it? Get over here right now, and we'll talk!]

[Sir, but I—]

Tut ... tut ... tut …

Chan had no time to finish his speech, and the phone had been disconnected.

This project can help meet the needs of mothers. Would I just ignore it? But what about Adelia? Chan was fighting inside.

"Chan, Are you okay?"

"Oh, brother, I'm fine. "I'll say goodbye, brother."

"Are you going to the treatment room now?"

"Oh no brother. Looks like I have to postpone meeting my woman today. The lecturer has called and is not negotiable. I have to go."

"All right. Be careful on the road!"
