Evangeline still opened her eyes, as if she did not want to go to sleep immediately. Because when he closed his eyes, then when he opened them again, the man next to him would disappear again.
The girl continued to hold Ardiaz's hand, while the husband remained in his position, sitting on the edge of the bed while gently wiping the mane of the wife.
“Are you not tired? Go sleep. Your body is still very weak. You have to rest a lot,” persuaded Ardiaz.
“Are you bored here with me? Then just go. No need to wait until I go to sleep. Basic sucks,” complained Evangeline.
Hearing the whining of Evangeline, Ardiaz who usually always just left and did not care at all, now actually smiled amusedly as if it was a funny thing that he was experiencing.
“Is there anything funny? Why are you laughing?” evangeline asked, getting annoyed.
Instantly, Ardiaz was silent and his laughter disappeared. He stared fixedly at his wife's net until making Evangeline misbehave with that gaze.
“A... Whahuh? What's looking at me like that?” ask Evangeline stammered.
A faint smile appeared on Ardiaz's lips.
“Stay be a spoiled, sloppy, stubborn and annoying girl as I know her. Don't be a girl who pretends to be strong in front of others and cries when she's alone. I really don't like that. It will only hurt you deeper, Eva,” Ardiaz exclaimed.
“Why? Isn't it thanks to you and your brother, I've been living like that all this time,” said Evangeline sharp.
Ardiaz lowered his face, with a long sigh. He realized that a little more of his family had contributed to the formation of the nature of Evangeline now.
“I'm sorry. This is all my fault,” said Ardiaz.
Evangeline didn't answer. However, her hands were raised and stretched out to touch her husband's face.
“What is this so heavy for you?” suddenly tanyanya.
Ardiaz then raised his gaze and stared fixedly at the wife. With a faint smile, he shook his head slowly, denying everything he had experienced all along.
“You don't have to lie. You promised me to tell me a little bit, didn't you. Then, can you tell me where this bruise on your face came from? I'm sure this isn't a new wound, and it's definitely worse than I'm seeing now,” said Evangeline.
Ardiaz's smile grew wider at Evangeline's question, which seemed to be interrogating her.
“Their formula, this is the result of you hanging out with your detective friends,”, Ardiaz said.
“Diaz, answer me,” whine Evangeline.
He then grabbed Evangeline's hand and led her to touch some parts of her face.
“Here I need two stitches, here there is a slight crack of the jawbone, here, here, here and here everything is blue. Would you like to see the rest of the body as well?” obviously Ardiaz, without even answering Evangeline's question earlier.
“Basic distressing crybaby girl. I am fine. I will not be able to fall just because of injuries like this,” said Ardiaz.
“Actually how did you live all this time, Diaz? Are they so mean to you?” ask Evangeline again.
“Eva, I can't tell you everything at once. Right now, you trust me enough. For what I said earlier, assume we don't see each other when we meet in public spaces and don't deliberately look for me. This is to keep you safe from Lucifer,”, Ardiaz said.
“Then, how will we meet again?” ask Evangeline.
“I'll be looking for you. You just calm down. A Danurendra will never renege on his promise,” said Ardiaz reassured his wife, who was worried about his fate.
After that, no more words came out from the mouths of the two. Slowly, the sedative the girl was taking reacted. He also fell asleep.
Seeing the girl in front of him sleeping, Ardiaz then immediately moved on from there. He came out of Evangeline's room, but before he closed the door, his eyes looked at the bedridden wife.
His gaze seemed to be in the middle of them this moment, as if this moment would be very much missed and he could not get any more.
Moments later, Ardiaz regained his senses, and shut the door.
When he came downstairs, there was already Joy and Mac duff there.
“Ayo departing. Everyone is waiting,” exclaimed Mac duff.
Ardiaz came down and approached the two. He turned his head towards the shoulder-haired girl, who since last night together with him was guarding Evangeline.
“Please take care of him,” pinta Ardiaz.
“Whatever you do, please hurry back. I don't want my friend to go crazy anymore because of her gangster husband,” Joy said.
Ardiaz did not reply again and immediately grabbed his hoodie jacket, then dressed to leave the apartment.
