Minto immediately ran out of the room just like that. In fact, one part of his sandal was left behind, he just ignored it.
I turned my body to look at Manis who looked down. Then....
Plaakkk!!!
"Why did you slap me, Manis?" I asked after getting a slap from her. I was really surprised by it.
"What's wrong with you, Juna! You are not my father, not my older brother, not my family. But, why are you acting so rashly like this?"
"Miss?"
"Yes, earlier. Why did you hurt Mr. Minto? He is a good person."
"Well?" I was even more surprised. "You know what he's going to do to you? He's groping your body, he wants to feel your body, Manis!"
"Yeah, so what if he did that!" she snapped again which made my emotions explode. "He has rights. Even with all his kindness, my body is nothing at all. You know that?"
My mouth feels locked, and my heart suddenly hurts more hearing Manis's words like this. Is she really Manis? Is she really my Manis?
I immediately left without her orders. She walked unsteadily while looking for where Uncle Sobirin had been. Because he was the one who accompanied me to come here. Not long after, the roar of the running came closer. Uncle Sobirin came with a worried face.
"Master, Master, why?" he asked, confused.
I don't even know why. "I want to go home. You stay here."
"You mean skipper. I'm staying at the hospital?" he asked, I nodded. He looked even more confused. "I work as a hospital guard, skipper? Do you fire me? Or what?"
"Please accompany Manis here. Don't let any man dare to touch her. Even if you get kicked out, you must stay near Manis no matter what. Tell me who's visiting, and find out how much Grandma Sweet's hospital costs. which has been paid by Minto. You understand?" I asked. Uncle Sobirin nodded strongly.
"Please, tell your aunt Amah and your father, skipper. I'm here on a big task," he said. I nodded.
