"Do you think the guys will be able to hold him back?" Hidayah asked with her eyes closed. Erika hugged her tighter. No one in the room could answer her question as they were still shocked by Hidayat's outburst. In the years of their friendship, they have never seen Hidayat so worked up before.
"Leo… Please send me the details. I will look into the matter," Hidayah spoke in a low voice. Erika glance towards the tall and suave man who was still leaning on the window, like Apollo looking out towards the horizon.
At the same time, Leoneil also turned his head towards the ladies. Their eyes met and Erika quickly turned her gaze away, her face turning red. Acting as if nothing had happened, Leoneil took out his iPad and turned it on, extracting all the information Hidayah requested.
"Give me a moment. I'm sending you the details to our cloud drive." Hidayah looked up and gave Leoneil a smile.
"Thank you, Leo. Guys, it's already late… go home. I am fine here," she then looked at Erika's red face and her eyes glint. Someone is getting hot in here…
"Alright… you rest well too, okay?" Hidayah gave Erika a firm hug and winked towards Leoneil. Leoneil saw her but his face, stoic as ever… LOL, you can pretend to ignore me all you want… I'm gonna grill you later tonight… haha "Erika, did you drive today?"
"Nope. Too lazy. I will grab a cab home from here"
"Why don't Leo send you home then? It's actually on his way. Right, Leo?"
"Yeah. I can send you home if you don't mind," Leoneil answered. Hidayah's mouth twitched. Do you think I wouldn't know that you like my best friend? I wonder how long will he take to confess to her… Or would she be the one to confess first???

Next morning
After multiple test and reviews, the doctors felt that Hidayah's condition was stable enough to be moved out of the Intensive Care Unit. For Hidayah, this was great news! Being in the Intensive Care Unit has so many limitations and she did not have much freedom. She couldn't wait to be transferred to the normal ward.
The 2 hours waiting before the transfer was already killing her. Unfortunately, both her parents and Hidayat could not come in the morning. To make it worse, her tablet was drained out of battery. So she was bored staring into nothingness.
After lunch, when she saw the nurse coming in with a wheelchair, she was so excited she accidentally squealed, "please tell me you're gonna transfer me to the ward now!" The nurse grinned at her furore.
"Yes, Ms Loh. We will be transferring you now," the lady replied.
"YES! FINALLY!" Not being able to hold her laughter any more, the nurse laughed at Hidayah's reaction.
After making sure that the IV was disconnected from the regulator, the nurse assisted Hidayah off the bed, onto the wheelchair and pushed her out to her new room in the VVIP ward.
