"You'd better wait here, Mrs. Aleeta. The rain is getting heavier, and it looks like the weather tonight is also not friendly. I'll try to check your car again." Aleeta immediately sat beside the driver's seat after Rendra opened the door for her.
Rendra again saw the condition of Aleeta's car. He had a little trouble, because one hand had to hold the umbrella. However, only a few minutes later the thunder roared again and strong winds managed to release the umbrella in his hand. Rendra's body was drenched in rain. Aleeta who saw that could only widen her eyes. Rendra immediately ran to her car.
"Mr. Ryan, are you all right?" Aleeta immediately pointed the question when Rendara was already sitting on the chair and then beside him. His beaded eyes looked at the soaking wet Rendara.
"Sorry, Miss Alleta. Looks like the weather is getting worse. I can't continue to check your car." A disappointed look radiated from Rendra's handsome face because he couldn't help Aleeta.
"It's okay, Mr Ryan. Tomorrow I will contact the repair shop to send a mechanic to pick up my car," said Aleeta. "Sorry, because of me you got soaked like this," continued Aleeta feeling guilty.
"Ah, this, no problem. We also don't know if the weather will get any worse." Randa rubbed her wet hair. "Oh yes. Where has your driver been? I'll wait for you here until your driver arrives." Lace no longer insists on taking Aleeta home. Because he knew the woman beside him was quite stubborn. He would just follow her wishes.
Not the answer that Lace got to her question, but she saw that Alleta's face was starting to look worried.
"Mom, Aleeta. Did something happen?" Rendra asked again.
"Oh, that. I just got word from the driver that he had a problem on his way here. Suddenly a tree fell and the car also had problems. Maybe he will be late to pick me up," Aleeta answered doubtfully. He was afraid that it would be more troublesome for Rendra.
"Okay, Miss Aleeta. Tell me where to take you. Because it looks like we can't wait for your driver to come. It will be difficult to find help in the late hours and bad weather like today." Without asking Alleta's approval, Rendra immediately drove his car through the pouring rain.
Rendra could not drive his car at high speed, very heavy rain made him very careful driving the car. Moreover, by bringing another passenger, he did not want to take a fairly dangerous risk. Even though his body was drenched, Rendra was quite happy because he could take Aleeta that night.
The atmosphere in the car was quite quiet, Rendra, who was driving the car, seemed to be holding back the cold that was starting to spread in his body.
"Mr Ryan. Thank you. And again, sorry for getting you wet like this." Aleeta's words broke the silence in the car.
"No problem, Miss Aleeta." Rendra's voice trembled slightly against the cold.
"Are you all right, Mr Ryan?" Alleta looks worried seeing the condition of Rendara who looks cold. Rendra could only respond to Aleeta's question with a nod. The man's lips were trembling and pale. This made Alleta feel even more guilty.
"We have arrived, Mrs. Aleeta." It didn't feel like the car had arrived at the apartment building where Alleta lived.
"Mr. Ryan are you sure you're okay?" Aleeta tried to confirm Rendra's condition before he got out of the car.
Rendra smiled at Aleeta. "I'm fine, Mrs. Alleta. Just a little cold. As you can see." Rendara answered while hugging his own body. "You'd better go in and hurry up and take a shower, because earlier you also got a little bit of rain. You're also unlikely to offer to help me stop by your apartment. Mrs. Aleeta can't have men's clothes, right?" Rendra tries to tease Aleeta.
"All right, Mr Ryan. Then I'll excuse myself. Thanks for the ride and sorry for me you're getting cold like this." Aleeta rushed into her apartment.
He realized, the longer he talked with Rendra, the longer the man would shiver with cold.
After making sure Aleeta entered, Rendra immediately drove his car at high speed. He could no longer stand the cold that seemed to overwhelm his body.
That morning the sun shone brightly. The remnants of last night's rain were still visible on the leaves. The rain accompanied by strong winds last night seemed to have uprooted several trees in several locations. The big and old trees apparently could no longer withstand the strong winds last night.
Aleeta has woken up even though her head feels dizzy. He only slept a few hours, fortunately today is the weekend, so he can laze around a bit. Last night he also had trouble sleeping. His mind was full of the images of Rendara. How is the man's condition? Is he okay?
Meanwhile in another apartment, Rendra was still curled up under the blanket, even though the sky was already bright. Usually on weekends like this, he would go for a morning run or go to the gym. However, not this morning. Let alone to get up, to open his eyes is very hard for him to do. Rendara's head felt heavy, and he felt heat on his body.
Exactly at nine in the morning, the door to Rendara's apartment opened.
"Brother ...." Malika immediately ran to Ryan who was curled up under the blanket.
An hour ago, Rendara contacted Ryan to come to his apartment and bring him medicine. Ryan immediately contacted Malika to come with him to Rendara's apartment. From Rendra's voice when he called earlier, he knew that his boss was not okay.
"Bro, you have a fever." Malika looks panicked, after she pulls the blanket and wakes Lace up.
Rendra is rarely sick. Maybe it was because his body wasn't fit, plus what happened last night made him drop even more.
He's been very busy the past few months. In fact, he often comes home late at night just to finish his work. Who says occupying a position as CEO of a well-known company is good and can relax. In fact, everything is not as beautiful as described in romance novels.
"Brother wake up first, okay. Breakfast." Malika tried to wake up Rendra who was still closed.
"My head hurts. I want to sleep a little more." Rendra said in a hoarse voice.
"But then you'll get sicker. It's better if you have breakfast first, then take your medicine, then you can sleep again." Malika is still trying to persuade her cousin.
"Hmm." That's the only answer Rendra.
"Honey, we should just let your sister sleep for a few more minutes. We'll wake you up later for breakfast and take medicine." Ryan tried to give Malika a solution, because he knew Rendra would wake up if he wanted to.
Even though it was heavy, Malika again covered her sister's body with a blanket and let her sleep for a few more minutes.
