Chapter 26

 Axel is now alone in the hospital. Melani left early this morning because there were going to be campus activities.
 Axel also couldn't prevent it, and Melani has helped him a lot now. Eliminating boredom, Axel watched television while playing on his cell phone.
 "Dad said, he and my mother. Why don't they come here?" Axel muttered when he read the message sent by Mr. Albert that they would visit him.
 But until nine o'clock in the morning, they had not yet arrived. Axel was lonely in that big room, and he didn't have any friends to invite to chat
 Check it out!
 The sound of the door opening drew Axel's gaze. Only then did Axel think about his parents. Now Mr. Albert and Mrs. Anne have arrived, and even Mrs. Anne looks shocked to see Axel's condition.
 "Axel, why are you like this?" Mrs. Anne asked worriedly as her hand placed the plastic-faced fruit on the table.
 Axel sighed. “As I said yesterday on the phone, ma'am. But never mind, now I've also been treated. Maybe in a few days, we can go home," Axel answered bluntly, trying to dispel Mrs. Anne's worry about him.
 "Who abused you, Axel?" Mr. Albert asked, pulling up a chair to sit close to Axel's bed.
 "I don't know his name. He is Melani's ex-lover," answered Axel.
 Hearing Melani's name, Axel's parents looked at him in surprise. They had never heard of that name. There was no such thing as Melani in their area.
 “Melani, who? Why did her ex hit you? Did she say anything?” Mr. Albert asked, suspicious of what was happening to them and their child.
 Axel shook his head. "Melani's ex was a tough person. He often scolded Melani and didn't hesitate to hit her often." Axel started telling his parent little by little about Melani. Even though this was Melani's privacy, her parents had to know because this had something to do with Axel.
 Mr. Albert and Mrs. Anne listened clearly to Axel's explanation. It took quite a long time to explain, and finally, Mr. Albert and Mrs. Anne understood what had happened.
 "Then what do you want to do now? Shall we sue him? After all, he also committed violence against Melani, even when he was in a relationship," said Mr Albert. Because Mr. Albert has the right to protect his son, he also heard that Melani, who was often beaten, was involved in acts of violence, which was a right to break the rules
 Axel shook his head. “No need, Dad. Daddy doesn't need to sue him, then he will also suffer his karma," asked Axel.
 Mr. Albert could only sigh in resignation. "Okay, I just follow you."
 “Now, where is Melani? Why are you alone here?” Mrs. Anne asked. She was curious about Melani.
 "She's still on campus for a while. Maybe she'll come at ten o'clock," he answered.
 "You like Melani, huh?" Mrs. Anne inquired because she had been paying attention and was surprised Axel's movements differed when he mentioned Melani.
 Axel heard Mrs. Anne's question and was silent momentarily before Pela chuckled. "What the heck, ma'am? You'll find out later," he answered.
 "It's okay if you like Melani. Get married quickly. It's a shame. You're already old," mocked Mrs. Anne.
 "Your son is still sick, but you told him to get married. Please get well first," commented Mr. Albert, slightly nudging Ms. Anne's Legan.
 Mrs. Anne looked sarcastically at Mr. Albert. "Leave it alone, and I am just giving criticism. Do you want your child not to get married?"
 "Yes, but you don't have to discuss that right now," replied Mr. Albert.
 "That's enough! I am sick. You are not being comforted but fighting here," said Axel when he saw Mrs. Anne, who wanted to comment again.
Check it out!
 "Hello, Axel—" Suddenly, the atmosphere became silent, and all eyes were focused on the main door.
 Melani was still wearing formal clothes, and maybe she had just returned from campus, carrying fruit in her hand.
 "Uh, hello, ma'am," said Melani politely. She walked over to Mr. Albert and Mrs. Ane while shaking their hands.
 "I'm sorry, ma'am, Dad just left Axel," said Melani, uneasy because she had left Axel. And when they arrived, Melani wasn't there yet.
 "Yeah, it's okay, just relax. Please sit down when you're tired after coming home from college," said Mr. Albert, pulling a chair over to sit nearby.
 Mrs. Anne was still looking at Melani's face, with a broad smile as if Mrs. Anne liked Melani.
 "Is this called Melani?" Mrs. Anne said. Axel and Melani looked at each other for a moment before Axel nodded his head.
 "Yes, ma'am, my name is Melani," she answered politely.
 Mrs. Anne chuckled. "Wah, kamu cantik ya. Pants Axel suka sama kamu," said Mrs. Anne.
 "Eh, aku tidak merasa seperti itu ma'am?" Melani asked a little doubtfully.
 "It's okay, it'll be more relaxed to chat, right?" replied Mrs. Anne
 They chatted happily. Even Axel's family welcomed Melani's arrival.
 Melani was happy because they were good to her.
 "It turns out it's not like my expectations. Everything is really like here," said Melani to herself.
 "Oh yes, Melani, you broke up with your old boyfriend, right?" Mr. Albert asked suddenly. Melani glanced at Axel to ask for clarity.
"Axel also told me earlier I felt sorry for seeing you being rude to him. Even though we're still boyfriend and girlfriend, if you've broken up, I'll be thrilled," replied Mrs. Anne.
 Melani took a deep breath and nodded. “Yes, ma'am. I've broken up with him. I also felt free when I was able to break up with him," answered Melani.
 Mrs. Anne stroked Melani's shoulder. “Yeah, it should be okay. You have to get freedom now," answered Mrs. Anne.
 Melani nodded slowly, really feeling comfortable being close to Axel's family. Who cares so much and cares about her?
 "Don't worry, you still have my child waiting for you," replied Mr. Albert, slightly mocking and encouraging Axel. Melani could only laugh a little even though inside her heart, her heart continued to beat erratically.
 "Yes, Melani, there is still Axel waiting for you. Don't look far for another guy. Your soulmate is right in front of your eyes," now, it was Mrs. Anne's turn to tease her.
 "you can do it!" Melani replied she was embarrassed when she heard about the temptation they were making.
 "Oh yes, ma'am, Dad, I have something to talk to you about," exclaimed Axel, making those initially looking at Melani now turn to Axel.
 "What's wrong?" asked Mr. Albert, feeling Axel's gaze look different this time.
 Axel sighed in resignation, and his eyes continued to focus on Melani. “I'm going to propose, Melani. After I got out of the hospital.”
