HARUNA DROWNED

Haruna's body slumped into the bathtub and sank.

"She wouldn't do anything in the bathroom, would she?" mumbled Tristan. Feeling worried, Tristan entered the bathroom which was not locked by Haruna. Tristan immediately panicked when he saw Haruna drown in the bathtub.

Tristan immediately took Haruna out of the bath and laid her on the bathroom floor. Tristan performs CPR with a frightened face. For the first time in Tristan's life, he felt scared. So far, nothing could scare him. However, right now he was feeling scared, panicked, and worried.

Tristan repeatedly performed CPR on Haruna, helping to give mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration, but three times there was still no reaction from Haruna. After eight times, Haruna came to her senses and coughed while spitting out the water that had entered her body.

"Cough."

"Haruna! Thank God you're awake," said Tristan. He helped Haruna get up so she could sit up and expel the water she had swallowed while drowning. Tristan hugged Haruna tightly, there was a sense of relief in Tristan's heart. He was very happy when Haruna realized.

"Let me go!" Haruna said while pushing Tristan. Haruna got up and put on her kimono towel. She stepped out weakly, in front of the bathroom door Haruna fell unconscious again.

Luckily Tristan caught Haruna's body in time, otherwise Haruna's head might have hit the edge of the doorpost. Tristan carried Haruna and laid her on the bed. Tristan calls the family's private doctor to check Haruna's condition. He put on his pajamas and opened the door when he heard the doorbell ring.

Check!

"You look fine. What's the point of calling me in the middle of the night like this?" Ask Doctor Budi. Doctor Budi is Izham's family's personal doctor. Doctor Budi is also Tristan's uncle, he is fourteen years old.

"It's not me who's sick, but… ah, come with me!" Tristan went first and took Doctor Budi to Haruna's room. "Please check on her! She's drowning in the tub. I've done CPR and she's spit out the water that came in. Will she be okay?" asked Tristan anxiously.

Budi looked at Tristan's face in surprise. It was unusual for Tristan to look as anxious and frightened as he was now. Budi checks Haruna's condition and gives Tristan a prescription.

"Here's a prescription for this Miss. She's fine. It doesn't seem like too much water came in either, maybe she just drowned and you saved her in time."

"Huh. Luckily it's not too late," Tristan muttered as he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Who is this girl? She must not be the bad girl you used to hire, right?"

"She is, Haruna. Her origins, Uncle doesn't need to know. What is clear, she is not a woman like Uncle thought," replied Tristan.

"Is she your girlfriend? If so, just get married! You're twenty-five years old. You want Chris to keep waiting for you to get married first. When you're married, will he want to marry?"

"Who told my brother to wait for me. If he wants to get married, then just get married first."

Buddy just shook his head slowly. Izham's entire family knows why Christian doesn't want to get married yet. Christian loves his little brother, Tristan. Christian only wants to get married if Tristan is already married.

However, until now Tristan is still playing with the women of the night. All Tristan did to divert his heartache, after his proposal was rejected by Stevi.

"I'm leaving! Huh, my old body can't afford to work overtime. Looks like it's time for me to retire," said Budi teasing Tristan.

"Sorry. Are you satisfied now?" Tristan asked with a frown on his face.

Budi smiled at his nephew. Tristan escorted Budi to the front door and opened the car door for his uncle. Budi patted Tristan's shoulder and got into the car. Budi's car drove away from Tristan's yard. Budi looked around. He didn't find anyone other than Tristan and Haruna lying on the bed. Though usually in Tristan's house there are many servants and guards.

After his uncle was out of sight, Tristan went back into the house and took a jacket in the closet in his room. Tristan entered Haruna's room and said goodbye to Haruna who was sleeping.

"I'm going to buy medicine first," said Tristan then he kissed Haruna's forehead gently. Tristan leaves in his black car. He looks for a pharmacy that is open 24 hours to redeem prescription drugs from Budi. After getting the drug he was looking for, Tristan immediately returned home.

When Tristan came, Haruna was already up and sitting back on the bed. Her eyes stared blankly at the mirror. Looking at her reflection in the mirror, Haruna felt disgusted seeing herself that was not pure anymore. Haruna's tears fell again, she cried silently. How unfortunate it is to have to lose self-respect because of a man who is so arrogant and cold like Tristan.

"Are you awake? Eat the porridge and take medicine," said Tristan. He cooked porridge for Haruna and carried the bowl of porridge to the room. Tristan also brought medicine and drinking water for Haruna.

"I do not want to." Haruna replied curtly without looking at Tristan.

"Here I cook the porridge myself, eat it!"

"I said, I don't want to!"

Prang!

Haruna brushed the porridge in Tristan's hand so that it fell and the bowl shattered. Tristan was inflamed and took the medicine from its container.

"Okay, if you don't eat, that's fine. But you have to take the medicine!"

"I do not want to!" Haruna shouted.

Tristan put the medicine in his mouth and drank it to Haruna straight from his mouth.

"Cough. You ashole!" cursed Haruna. She rubbed her lips roughly.

Tristan took the medicine by word of mouth. He then cleaned up the porridge and broken bowls that were scattered on the floor. Tristan returned to his room after cleaning Haruna's room.

Tristan threw himself on the bed and lay staring at the ceiling. He squeezed his hair tightly. He was really confused about his feelings. If his intention was to take revenge, he should feel happy because he had succeeded in destroying Haruna. However, seeing Haruna now, Tristan's heart became unhappy. He never thought that he would be scared because of Haruna.

Haruna had fallen asleep after Tristan left his room. Sadness was clearly visible on her face, even though she was asleep. The rest of the tears had dried up, forming a transparent line on both cheeks.

Haruna's heart and body are very tired tonight. The beautiful days that had been through had now been replaced by misfortune. Let this night pass with sweet dreams. Tomorrow, I don't know what the day will be like. She just wants to forget what happened earlier by immersing himself in nature.
