20 Years Adrift
Chapters 13. Late Home

Affan calls the security guard and employees who have come to help Bimo lift Amanda's body to the health room. In his company provided a place of health care and work accidents for employees. There were several doctors and nurses who stood guard twenty-four hours in turn.

Affan looked tense. He was worried between following them or going to his own room.

"Oh!" Affan snorted and decided to go to the health room.

Although this was not his fault, he could not act indifferent. Amanda is her best friend.

Amanda was being examined by a doctor when she came. Affan approached Bimo who was waiting for him outside the examination hall.

"Boss!" Bimo got up from his seat but Affan moved his hand to keep him seated.

Affan pulled out another chair and sat down next to Bimo. His face looks wrinkled. He then rubbed his face roughly then turned to Bimo.

"Bim, you take care of Amanda. Let me handle today's work myself."

"Good, Boss. It looks like today's schedule has not changed" Bimo explained.

Affan moved from his seat. As she was about to leave, Amanda regained consciousness and walked out of the examination room.

"No need to worry about me. I'm fine." Amanda passed from Affan's presence without seeing his face.

Affan and Bimo looked at each other. They don't believe Amanda's condition is recovering that fast.

"Are you okay, Miss Amanda?" tanya Bimo walked up to him quickly.

Amanda just nodded and disappeared behind the door.

Affan looked at Doctor Gea who was standing before them. His face looked worried because his patient was forcing himself to work even though his body was not fit. He explains to Affan that Amanda may have anemia and symptoms of depression.

Amanda should be resting for recovery. However, he ignored all of Doctor Gea's advice and rejected all of the prescriptions he gave. He insists that he is healthy and does not suffer any pain.

All of Doctor Gea's explanations make Affan worried, but he can't pay more attention to Amanda.

"Doctor, give me a headache reliever." Affan nibbled his temple.

Doctor Gea leaves him and returns with the drug Affan asked for.

"You drink if you're dizzy, sir. If you don't feel anything, you don't need to drink it" explains Dr. Gea.

"Thank you, Doc. Excuse me!" Affan left the room followed by Bimo who had been waiting for him behind.

Affan goes straight to his room, while Bimo picks up his belongings and Affan's belongings which are left in the lobby when Amanda collapses.

As he headed to his room, Affan passed by the employees who had started arriving. They greeted him politely as they passed him.

Arriving in his room, Affan immediately took a glass of water and swallowed a headache-relieving pill. His work is so piled up today because yesterday he came home early.

Bimo walks into his room with a new stack of files he has to sign.

"Boss, there will be a meeting with DDF Company at two noon, next meeting together ...."

Bimo explained the important work today to Affan.

The wall clock is eight o'clock at night, but Affan hasn't come home yet. Aira looks worried. During the few days of living there, Affan always came home late in the afternoon.

Aira glanced at her phone. He just remembered that they hadn't exchanged phone numbers with each other.

"Do I have to ask Faya?" Aira seemed to think.

He almost sent a message to Faya in which he asked Affan for his mobile number, but said he did.

"If I ask Faya, I'll be mistaken again." Aira saved her phone and went out of the room with some books. He decides to wait for Affan in the living room.

The person Aira was thinking about was also thinking about her. She just finished her meeting and is getting ready to go home.

"Boss, really don't need me to drop off?" ask Bimo to make sure. He knows that Affan's body is not okay.

Affan seemed to think. His right hand pinched his own nape and then shook his head to stretch the muscles.

"Let Mr. Cipto take my car. You gohome. Poor wife is pregnant. Oh, yes, you just bring my car it's time for regular service." Affan walked towards the office car that Bimo used to carry.

Bimo calls Mr. Cipto and asks him to deliver Affan in an office car. They separated and went home to each other.

At a fork in the road, a car stopped in a quiet place. The driver immediately stepped on the gas and drove his car following Affan's car driven by Bimo. He doesn't know if Affan wasn't in that car.
