Robin looks sadly at his brother who is still lying down. When he came home from school, Ronan told him that Tasya had fallen ill. He had been very worried upon hearing the news that his sister was hospitalized. One thing he needs to take care of first is his mother's condition. That's why Ronan couldn't rush to the hospital to see his sister.

"Hey," Robin calls softly.

"What's wrong with you?" Tasya laughs softly. Her free hand lovingly strokes her younger sibling's curly hair. "I'm perfectly fine."

"But you fainted?" Ronan interjects. Since entering his sister's hospital room, he has been in awe. The hospital room is spacious, well-equipped, and there's even a separate room for family members waiting for patients. Imagine that, it means there are two rooms in this space.

Furthermore, a man in a shirt, still watching over his sister. Yes, who else but Tasya's boss, whom he knows as Nathan. Ronan is growing up, and his social circle isn't limited to just campus. There's a cafe that has become a new source of income for him. To some extent, he understands that there's something different in the way the man looks at his sister.

When Ronan and Robin arrived, Nathan stepped aside, giving room for the three siblings.

"I'm just tired," Tasya says with a wide smile. "The doctor has checked me, and there's nothing to worry about. I can go home "

"Where do you think you're going?" Nathan interrupts irritably. Even though he's sitting comfortably on the sofa, enjoying his cup of coffee, he's anything but relaxed. All of this is because of Tasya's careless words. What did she say? "Can go home?" The doctor recommended three days of rest.

"I'm not sick anymore, Nathan," Tasya smiles as sweet as honey. Deliberately. So Nathan will melt and grant her request. She needs to go home. She must make sure for herself that her mother isn't causing any trouble. Even though there are two younger siblings at home who can at least handle her mother's chaos, as the eldest, there's still a lingering sense of anxiety.

Tasya tries to get up but... "Ah!" A groan escapes her lips, accompanied by her hand clutching her stomach.

"Sis!" Ronan and Robin exclaim almost simultaneously.

"You think you can just leave like that?" Nathan looks at Tasya sharply. No, Nathan won't move closer, even though he really wants to be near Tasya. If only her two younger siblings weren't here, Nathan wouldn't have left Tasya's side. He can't hide Tasya's condition from her two younger siblings. They shouldn't replace out later. Who knows, because of the presence of her two younger siblings, Tasya might become more determined to recover.

"Mr. Nathan is right," this time Ronan speaks up. Out of politeness, he can't address Nathan informally. Moreover, he knows for sure what position his sister holds in the office. "You should stay here until you're fully recovered. The two of us are fine on our own. We usually are alone, right?"

Hearing those words, Tasya laughs, although she has to restrain herself. Afterward, she stretches out her hand, wordlessly asking her two younger siblings for a hug, which they readily provide, cautiously avoiding her hand with the IV tube. "Forgive me for not being able to accompany you more," she says without words.

"Don't feel guilty about things we can be proud of, Sis," Ronan half-whispers. Being in his sister's embrace is indeed comforting. He experiences the warmth of their mother's hugs, which have changed significantly over time. Is Hari not sad? The heartbreak of a firstborn son in the family is seeing his mother's tears. Unfortunately, Abigail is too loud in her sadness and anger that envelops her.

Not to mention simply getting up, even realizing that their lives have changed requires a non-trivial approach. And that role was suddenly replaced with great enthusiasm by the slim figure named Rosmerry Tasya, whom they dearly love. "You'll recover quickly, okay," Robin wriggles slightly. Eventually, their embrace unravels. "I bought some easily digestible biscuits for you earlier, so your stomach won't hurt too much." Tasya smiles broadly. "Thank you." Once again, she messes up her younger brother's hair. There's no protest, just a look in which, if Robin blinks, tears roll down.

That makes Tasya sad. "Don't be like that. If my condition is better tomorrow, I'll go home right away."

"Really?" Robin wipes the corners of his watery eyes. "Yes."

"Don't think too much about us, Sis. The most important thing is for you to recover first. I'll take care of Mom's affairs. After the doctor's check-up at the hospital, we'll decide together." Tasya nods in agreement.

Afterward, they bid farewell. Not because it's getting late, but because they also want to give their sister enough time to rest. Nevertheless, deep in Hari's heart, he really wants to accompany his sister, but the circumstances force him to think fast. What about his younger sibling? Their mother? Who will take care of them later?

So, he bravely approaches the man sitting facing his laptop. "Sir?"

Nathan immediately looks up. "Yes?"

"We're heading home."

The man understands why one of them can't accompany Tasya. Besides, they don't need to be accompanied, and Nathan feels lucky. So he has more time with Tasya. He has also told the folks at home to bring a change of clothes, including a new shirt for his office tomorrow. Occasionally seizing opportunities in tight situations is not a problem, right?

"Be careful then," Nathan gets up from his seat.

"Where are you going, sir?"

"To escort you to the lobby?" Nathan looks at Hari with a puzzled expression.

"Don't bother," Ronan laughs. "Both Robin and I are here. If you leave, who'll be with Tasya?"

Suddenly, Nathan's smile widens just because of Hari's words.

"I'm very grateful that you, as our boss, are so concerned about Tasya. Please forgive my sister if she causes any trouble."

Ck! Nathan feels like he wants to confirm his relationship with Tasya immediately. It hurts to be considered a boss when he feels so close to Tasya. But... aren't they both boss and subordinate? So why should Nathan complain?

"I'm full, Nathan," Tasya pushes the bowl of warm porridge that Muji made for them. Nathan intentionally asked Muji to make porridge with delicious chicken broth for their dinner. "Just a bit more?"

Tasya shakes her head. "I can't eat too much. I might get nauseous."

Nathan sighs softly. "Okay." He then removes the bowl and the small table in front of them. Not only that, Nathan also wipes away the remaining broth on the corners of Tasya's lips. "Aren't you tired?" Tasya asks after feeling comfortable.

"Tired?" Nathan asks in surprise.

"Yes. You must have been handling a lot on your own all day. I couldn't help with anything. I even got sick and powerless like this." The girl bows down with regret. She shouldn't have neglected breakfast. It's clear that working under Nathan's command is always busy.

"So, you wanted to get sick?"

Tasya shakes her head.

"You wanted to not be able to help me?"

"No, Nathan."

"Well, then just consider it a day off so you won't be bothered by me."

Tasya sighs and pouts. "You never talk seriously with me."

"My marriage proposal was serious, but you took it lightly," Nathan laughs. "Let it go. There's no need to think about the days we've already passed, Tasya. Besides, I'm really satisfied that I could reveal that it's not me who can't work properly. Instead, it's the one who has been shouting the loudest all this time at Faldom."

"But have you received the latest news? Is Mr. Farhan really abroad?"

Nathan chuckles. "He's in New South Wales, Tasya. He fled there but claimed he went to the Maldives. Oh my God."

"Seriously?"

"Yes." Nathan can't stop laughing. "And on top of that, he slandered me?"

"But he will be legally processed, right?"

"Yeah, of course!" Nathan's eyes began to shine with anger. "I can't accept that what my brother built can be destroyed just like that. Even though Farhan is one of the people who knew Jannet Sinclair well. It's insane." "Money does deceive many people, Nathan."

"I could shower you with money, but why have you never paid attention to my feelings?"

Tasya pouts. "Why are you going in that direction?"

Nathan just laughs. "Want some fruit?"

Tasya shakes her head. "I'm tired."

"At this hour?" Nathan glances at the watch encircling his wrist. It does show eight in the evening, but... "Okay, you really need a lot of rest."

He helps the girl lie down comfortably. Adjusting the blanket and pillow positions and ensuring that the IV tube, which is still attached, is in good condition.

"Don't want to sleep next to me, Nathan?" Tasya asks while patting her pillow without hesitation. Somehow, she mustered the courage to ask Nathan to be that close to her.

Maybe... because today, Nathan showered her with so much attention.

Perhaps... Tasya is starting to believe that what Nathan often says about his feelings is true.

Or maybe... the worried look in Nathan's eyes that never seems to go away makes her believe that Nathan is indeed worth giving a chance.

"You're not joking, are you, Tasya?"

"Am I under the influence of drugs?"

"No, not really, except for the stomach medicine."

"Well, then I'm consciously saying it, Nathan."

"But..."

"If you don't want to, then forget it." Tasya is ready to turn her back to Nathan.

"Hey! Not like that!" Nathan immediately stops Tasya, who wants to turn her back to him. "Don't be ridiculous. Opportunities like this don't come twice. But I'll lock the door first. Who knows if Naina comes in the morning and disturbs our sleep."

"Nathan!"

"Huh? I'm right, aren't I? We're just sleeping?"
