The next day.
Today is Saturday. A day where all employees only work for four hours.
On Saturdays, the working hours of the employees are only until twelve in the afternoon. And the rules in the company that on Saturday, all employees and division heads are not allowed to do overtime.
They all had to go home to rest. And of course, Sunday is a holiday as usual.
Dira? The girl is already at home. She came home from the hospital last night around half past nine at night.
Ardian was always by her side until the intravenous fluids had run out and he was allowed to go home.
Of course, Rendra was also near Dira. But the man was not too close to his sister. Last night Rendra had been outside the hospital for a long time. The man deliberately let Dira and Ardian talk to each other.
And now she has woken up from her deep sleep. Regarding the permit not to enter, it was already taken care of by Ardian. How could he be so kind and caring to her? In fact, last night Ardian was still following Dira back home.
Dira chuckled when she remembered the conversation between Rendra and Ardian that she overheard.
Dira heard that Ardian had deliberately followed Dira home, because Ardian wanted to know Dira's home address. The girl felt grateful because Ardian created a good relationship with her brother. If so, have Ardian received the green light from Rendra?
"Are you awake?" Asked Rendra who had just entered Nadira's room.
The man brought a bowl of chicken porridge and a glass of warm tea on a wooden tray. Rendra put the two things on a small table on the right side of Dira's bed.
Dira smiled at Rendra. "Yeah, I just woke up. Thanks for bringing me food."
"Yeah, you're welcome. Mom and dad haven't come home yet. They said they would come back here tomorrow afternoon. I think Grandma in Bogor is also sick." Rendra said.
"Ah, it's okay. You didn't tell mom that I was sick, did you?"
Rendra shook his head. "No. I did what you asked. Then how are you? Have you got a fever?"
"My body is feeling better. I don't have a fever anymore. I'm fine, now. But my body still feels a little sore. But thank you, you took good care of me, brother." Dira said.
"Hey, of course. I'm your brother. Even though we often fight, but when I see you fall ill I feel very worried too."
Dira chuckled hearing Rendra who said that. Now Rendra cared much more for him.
"Hahaha, fine. I can eat by myself. You just go if you want to go out or to your campus."
Rendra sighed softly. "I'm already absent from my lecturer's class. But I want to meet Dina for a while. Are you okay if you stay at home alone?"
She nodded and chuckled softly. "Yeah, I'm fine. I'm not a kid anymore. I can find the things I need on foot by myself. I'm not going anywhere either. Don't worry, go if you want to go out with Dina."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Okay I'll be gone for three hours. I promise it won't be long. When you finish your porridge, don't forget to take some of the medicine I prepared."
She just nodded and smiled widely. She let Rendra leave her alone at home.
Besides, for Dira, being alone at home feels much better. She likes the quiet and quiet atmosphere so that she can sleep again to heal her pain.

At eleven o'clock in the afternoon, all employees seemed to come out of their respective division rooms.
Many go out together and go home together. There is also a love relationship in the same office and the couple goes and comes home from work together every day.
On this Saturday, the employees are of course eager to go home. Coming home early is a pleasant boon to all workers.
And in the mutation division room, Ardian smiled in relief. The man chuckled a little when he found out that his division room was empty. The employees in the mutation division have also all left five minutes ago.
On Saturday, the employees always don't want to come home late. Saturday is a day to free yourself from the tiredness of working for six days a week.
"Ardian.."
Feeling his name being called, Ardian turned to the left. The man had just put a document and a room key to Lisa who was behind the tall reception desk.
It turned out that the one who called Ardian's name was Karina. The woman smiled and walked closer to Ardian.
Karina today looks fresh and beautiful. Since this morning, he received many compliments from several other employees regarding his appearance.
Today Karina is wearing a women's suit that is light beige. Looks bright, clean and fresh. What's more, her straight black hair was tied back into one and looked very neat.
The woman's lips were also bright pink and looked natural.
Ardian also smiled at Karina, but Ardian's smile was very thin and brief.
"Are you going home?"
Adrian nodded. "Of course. Today is Saturday. No employees are working overtime."
"Yes, it is true." Karina said with a chuckle and also smiled at Lisa.
Then the two of them walked together heading out of the office lobby. And Ardian asked, "how was dinner last night?"
"It's fine even without you. The four of us were just chatting about a few simple topics."
"Ah, I see. I'm sorry I wasn't there. I'll be there if there's another gathering." Ardian said kindly.
Karina nodded. "Umm, do you have any plans for tonight?"
"Yes, there is. Why?"
"Ah, I see. I thought I'd just like to have dinner with you. Or we could have lunch together now." Karina said. She deliberately wanted to eat alone with Ardian.
Hearing the request, Ardian stopped his footsteps and the man looked at Karina.
"Karin, whether it's dinner or lunch, we shouldn't be alone." Ardian said.
"Why?"
"Didn't you ever talk to me and stop all my invitations? Have you forgotten that day? For now or any other day, we will never eat together again. Unless there is a gathering like last night. And for today, I promised someone to come to her house." Ardian said firmly.
Then the man left Karina just like that.
And Karina felt very annoyed when Ardian spoke to her like that. The girl stomped one of her feet. And Karina tightened her grip on her bag.
Karina has not forgotten what happened last night. And this morning he was angry with Dinda about Aris who brought him home.
Aris didn't say anything after taking Karina home safely. The man was silent and immediately went home when he found out that Karina had entered the house.
But now Aris is able to contact him many times. And Karina felt annoyed with it.
And now, Karina was very curious where Ardian would go. Should she follow the man?
