Chapter 4

---

Another day being Neymar's caregiver and having no actual jobs here makes me somehow frustrated. For the example, two days ago i'm trying to help Ali accompanying Neymar into the therapy but Neymar refused to have me, so i stayed at his house and use his kitchen to made something for him instead. Also, this morning when i wanted to help him do the daily exercise, he's being grumpy all of the sudden and i don't want to hear his scolds so i decided to walk away. In some way, it feels like i don't deserve to get paid only to be another person in this house.

I was scrolling through the internet page on my laptop while working on my assignment, but somehow there's this stupid ads that keeps popping on my tab so i have to keep clicking the close page until i got distracted by one advertisement that i found interesting.

Having a monotonous routine until it gets really frustrating? Don't worry, we have a solution for you! Let us introduce you the Angry Chamber where you can release your anger without someone in your house complaining! You want to throw some vases really hard to the floor? We got you! You want to punch a big walls until it makes hole on it? We got you! Please visit us at ......

"Aha!"

I close my laptop immediately and barge into Neymar's room to suggest him my brilliant idea. At first, he scolds me again from not knocking on his door first and then i apologized before continuing my words.

"I have a brilliant idea!"

"Your definition of brilliant must be something really stupid, i don't want to hear it."

"Come on! Please give it a shot or i won't stop bothering you all day, i have a whole day for that."

He sighs, "Fine."

"So there's this one fun place that i found earlier on the internet and i think it will suits you well! We can go there together, instead of just staying in this house doing nothing."

"See? I told you it must be stupid."

"You needs to go outside and have fun! Trust me it will help your recovery and i'm sure Ali and Rafaella won't mind about it either. We can also go with Kylian, so it won't be just the two of us."

"Alana," he took a deep breathe before continuing his words. "You know nothing about having fun. I have experience that my whole life until this stupid accident happened."

"I know our definition of having fun is very different, maybe we can do something else that was fun from your point of view! It's okay i can make it happened."

"I want to play football, can you make that happen Alana?"

I was silenced. It was a very dumb decision of me to ask him about it first. I finally gave up and left his room without saying a word, because if i apologized to him he will think that i pity him and he doesn't like that. I went back to my laptop and there's another surprise coming from my screen. There is a headline news about Neymar's condition coming from one of the most famous media in Paris. I glance at Neymar's room and still doesn't see any reaction coming from it, so i spare my time to read the article and it said Neymar's closest source told the journalist about his spinal cord injury and how it cost him a momentary disability of his legs.

I bet if i have a cellphone right now, everyone will come at me to ask about Neymar. I haven't buy a new phone yet because it costs so much these days, i need to save up first before make a final purchase. Ali already went home early today since he has another patient, so there's only me who can get into his room and check on his condition. I wait for another minutes to see if he was really fine with the news or maybe the opposite, but it doesn't do much. So this time, i knock slowly on his door and peek a little sight before i open it beforehand.
