Buih Becomes a Tapestry

Chapter 68

The night before, Alula just woke up. His eyes blinked and looked around him. "Where am I?" lirih. Holding a slightly dizzy temple.

Arjun who was closed while sitting on the opposite seat immediately got up. The anxiety he had felt since then disappeared. "Thank God, you're sober!"

Alula repeated her question, "Arjun, where am I?"

Arjun helped Lula get up to lean. "You passed out earlier, and the doctor brought you into this room" said Arjun, offering a drink. "Drink first!"

Alula received the glass and gulped it down. After drinking, he remembered everything that had happened to him. "Mas Kevin?"

Arjun knows Lula's feelings and tries to calm her down for the umpteenth time. "I know about Kevin's disease, too. But, he forbade me to tell you."

Alula widened her eyes of disbelief, a friend she trusted was also good at deceiving.

"You've been cheating on me all this time? Why didn't you tell me a long time ago?" Alula looked at her best friend still in disbelief.

"I'm sorry Lula. Kevin's health is declining and he keeps this secret strong from you. You know why he did this to you?"

Alula shook her head, then Arjun opened his lips. "Because he loves you so much and doesn't want to see you sad. Even though he hurt your heart once, this is how he made amends for his old mistakes."

Hearing that, Alula cried again. Swiped his cheek and said, "I want to see Kevin."

Arjun understands and helps Lula get out of bed.

Arriving at Kevin's room. Alula looked at that limp body. His eyes were glazed over and he slowly walked towards Kevin's bed.

As she opened her lips, a nurse came in.

"Excuse me, I'll replace the infusion of the patient with a new one!" said the sister.

Alula nodded and noticed the way the nurse worked.

Finished already installing the infusion, the nurse left.

"Mas Kevin, get well soon huh, I miss you so much. We will raise our baby together. Don't you want to hold our baby when he's born?" Alula grabs Kevin's hand and grasps it. Kevin reacted and opened his eyes. Without realizing it, her tears were shed.

Kevin opened his mouth and said softly. "Alula, I'm sorry. I miss you too."

Alula closed her mouth, holding back her cries from being heard. Clearly visible, his shoulders shook indicating his crying was very bitter.

Alula asked, "Did your parents know this?"

Kevin nodded with a clean. "No. They don't know and I don't intend to tell them."

Alula understood with her husband's intention, so as not to hurt her parents, she was willing to endure the pain alone. But Alula must not be selfish, she must tell her parents to get help immediately. Who knows, there is info for heart donors.

Alula smiled, "You don't worry. Me and our son-in-law will always pray for you."

Hearing that Kevin was relieved and said, "Thank you Lula, even if I'm like this, you still want to see me."

Alula sneered, "Of course, I'm your wife Mas!"

Behind the glass, Arjun felt pain in his heart, how not? The woman who filled her heart was sad. But Arjun can't be selfish, he can suppress that feeling as much as possible. Even though he knew the woman attached to his heart was someone else's wife.

Arjun leaned his head against the wall, and suddenly his phone rang out his daydream. After seeing the contacts on the phone screen, he immediately raised the call.

"Yes, Ma, what's wrong?" it was from his mother.

Arjun's parents had long wanted a son-in-law because he was only an only child, other than that for the successor from his exit.

And Arjun always refuses his parents' choice. For various reasons. Of course he's still waiting for someone.

His mother gave up and eventually cut off the phone.

On the other hand, Nabil had been in the office since this morning. He was astonished, after seeing the clock on his phone pointing at nine o'clock passing but had yet to meet with his superior.

"Where is he, this clock hasn't shown up yet?" he was moved to call Kevin's number.

Because Kevin's phone is dead, Nabil tries to call Lula's number.

Lula was having breakfast in the cafeteria with Arjun.

Alula picked up her phone and said, "Hallo, Nabil!"

Nabil smiled as he connected too, "Hallo, Lula, where's Kevin? It's noon, you two feel good at home!" accuse Nabil of making Lula's heart sad again.

Alula gave a rough sigh, "She .. entered the hospital,"

Hearing that, Nabil was flabbergasted, and at once he came to terms with the illness that Kevin had hidden from everyone. Does Lula know? Nabil immediately gulped down his saliva stuck in the throat.

Instead of being surprised, Nabil seemed to be acting ordinary, "Oh, how is he doing?"

Alula felt suspicious, why her best friend did not feel surprised. "Did you know before, if he was sick?" ask Alula back.

Nabil can't lie anymore, "I-iya Lula, but you can't blame me completely for this exposed secret, I promised him not to tell you." Nabil sounded nervous.

Alula immediately hung up her phone in annoyance.

Seeing that, Arjun who had swallowed the food said, "Who just called you?"

Alula sneered, "He's a liar, just like you."

Arjun did not accept it and denied, "Hey, don't equate me with anyone else!"

"You guys, it's easy to lie and cover up your mistakes by acting like nothing happened, and now you want to deny ?"

Alula stopped eating him and folded her hands on her chest.

"Lula, how many times have I explained to you, that what I've done is for your own good, too,"

"What kind of improvement do you expect? If I had known my husband from the beginning, I would have forbidden him from working and I would have stopped filming as well. And I prioritize my life to take care of her. Now, I just found out that my husband really needs a heart donor."

Hearing Lula's lecture, Arjun felt guilty, "I'm sorry, if only I could help you, but honestly, I didn't mean to lie to you."

Seeing Arjun's attitude, Alula softened, "Here you go, I'm full, I want to see Kevin's mas first." then Alula got up and left.

***

Nabil searched Lula's own files on the pile. Pulling drawers one by one. If he asked Kevin, it would have been an hour ago he could have walked out of the CEO's room.

Almost Nabil was desperate, his hands were tired of opening and closing the map, when the last map turn, his face was again radiant. "Well, meet!"
