Chapter 21

Leo's POV
Seeing Zara's condition began to show a conscious condition. So Ismaya began to look happy and immediately asked to make sure that what she was seeing was what was really happening right now.
"Hey, look, Zara, are you awake?" Ismaya woke me up.
I was immediately shocked and saw that Zara could now open her eyes even though she still looked weak.
Suddenly someone opened the door to the room from the outside.
Suddenly it made the three of us surprised and immediately focused our attention on the direction of the door. I don't know who they are who are coming to us here. But Ismaya said that they are Zara's family. I see a middle-aged husband and wife; it seems like they are Zara's parents. Meanwhile, there is a teenage girl, I think it is Zara's younger sister. Huh, Zara has a younger sister? Wow ... I started to find a new idea to hunt for her ovum. Thus, I already have three targets in one week, namely Zara, Ismaya, and Zara's younger sister. This is really an opportunity that I should not waste. I have to get their ovum this weekend, at least in the last month, waiting for when the seconds before her menstrual cycle will occur.
Zara's father looked at me suspiciously. He seemed to dislike my presence in this room. I think maybe it was just my guess. Hopefully, I was wrong in my assumption. But my instincts told me that the male soul of Zara's father began to know about my behavior. But I should not get carried away by this kind of feeling.
"Father, mother, Zena... Who told you?"
"I, I was the one who called your house earlier. Because I was worried that something worse would happen to you. So I made sure that your parents should know that you were unconscious and needed intensive care for the next few days." Ismaya admitted that she was the one who told Zara's family that Zara had to be hospitalized.
"Umm, you..." It seemed that Zara did not like Ismaya's way. But she began to realize Ismaya's other words.
"Wait! I have to be treated in the patient's ward for the next few days. Are you serious?" As if she couldn't believe that she had to be treated in the hospital, especially for several days. As if she didn't want that to happen.
"Yes, the doctor said you need rest and intensive care. Because of fatigue and anemia." Ismaya clarified and emphasized again.
"Ah no! No! I don't want to!"
"Hey, Zara.. don't be like that!" Her father said.
"Yes, Zara, you have to prioritize your condition first." Her mother chimed in.
"No, Mom, Dad... I can't; my work is still piling up. Moreover, now there are so many strange and new cases. I have to solve them immediately and find solutions to all of them. The safety of many people is in my hands. If I just relax in this bed with this IV line attached. Then all my sacrifices will be in vain. This is about the survival of humanity even more." She insisted on continuing her work and refused to be treated until she was fully recovered.
"Doctor Zara, leave everything to me. It's better for you to follow Doctor Fras' advice. Let me handle all the work for the next few days. The most important thing now is for Doctor Zara to rest first. So that you recover quickly and get better. If you work in an unfit condition, it will only worsen the situation, and the atmosphere will not be conducive. In fact, working will be less focused and even lose concentration. It's better for you to choose to recover first. Only then will everything run smoothly after you start again in a truly good condition. I only give suggestions and offers. The decision is in Doctor Zara's hands." I said, taking the golden opportunity to ruin the process.
"But I'm already recovered!" She really insisted on continuing her work.
"Zara, you have to recover first so that you don't drop again like before." Her mother added.
"Yes Zara, I am also ready to handle your work while you are in the recovery process," Ismaya said.
"This time, don't be too stubborn. Shut up and take a break!" Her father said in a firm tone.
Her little sister just kept quiet while watching the conversation, which was really confusing for a teenager her age.
Finally, after hearing her father's firmness, Zara gave in and accepted the advice. Although it seemed like she was still reluctant to make this decision. But she finally chose it and started to make her choice from now on. That she would obey to take a break for a while without doing any work activities. Although I'm sure there must be a lot of work in her mind. But what can she do when she really has to rest first? That is the bitter reality for her that she has to live now.
"Okay then." Zara gave in reluctantly after being persuaded by all the adults here.
"Yes, that's the best way; once in a while, you have to be quiet and don't move around too much. You need to give yourself time Zara. Stop being a tough person and not caring about your own health. If you get sick, you will not only harm yourself but also bother us." Her father seemed more talkative than her mother.
Zara fell silent after hearing her father's words that seemed to corner her in front of many people. It seemed like her father was also a tough person. Zara inherited her father's character. Meanwhile, her mother didn't talk too much and preferred to show a gentle attitude. That was also in Zara's character. So sometimes it's confusing when I find Zara with her personality that is now this and now that.
In her tough attitude there is a gentleness that makes it comfortable. Maybe the combination of the two characters makes other people feel attracted to her unique personality. Including me, I also have sympathy for her. Although I will not reveal this big secret in my heart. I am the only one who knows and keeps it deep inside. Until the feeling goes away by itself.
After Zara decided to be treated first in the hospital, she would be moved to a special patient room according to the room number. In addition, there was also a discussion from her family to look after her in the hospital. The thing that makes me happy is that I can run to Zara's house to monitor Zara's sister named Zena. This is really a golden opportunity for me, it will be more free.
