DARREN'S HATRED

Darren's Concerns About Brenda

Darren, his seven best friends and the Bruiser children are currently in the hospital. They were waiting in front of the emergency room. Everyone seemed worried about Brenda still in the emergency room, especially Darren.

Darren was pacing in front of the emergency room door. He was really worried and scared of Brenda.

"Hope you don't do anything, baby!" inner Darren.

Axel and Jerry who noticed Darren pacing in front of the emergency room became unbearable.

"Ren, sit. Believe that! Brenda must be fine" Axel said.

Hearing Axel's words, they all looked towards Darren. They could see the implied worry in Darren's eyes.

Cklek!

The emergency room door opened. And after that, a Doctor came out from inside.

"How is he doing, Doctor? " ask Darren.

"Are you a family patient?" ask the Doctor.

"Yes. I am the patient's lover" Darren replied.

"The current state of the patient is okay.  The patient was in shock. But the condition of his stomach a little may be worrisome. Previously patients also had stomach pain. So I recommend keeping his diet. And do not eat too often spicy foods so that the stomach does not recur. The rest of the patients are fine." The doctor spoke while explaining the condition of his patient.

Hearing the explanation from the Doctor who handled Brenda made Darren shocked. So did his seven best friends and the Bruisers.

All this time they thought that Brenda was not like a sick person. Even Brenda had looked fine all along.

"Thank you, Doctor!" Darren spoke softly to the Doctor who handled Brenda.

"Together."

The doctor left Darren and the others for his study.

After the departure of the doctor, Darren and his seven best friends immediately entered Brenda's ward. As for the children, Bruiser left the hospital to return to the headquarters.

Now Darren and his seven best friends are in Brenda's nursery. Both Darren and his seven best friends stared worriedly at Brenda.

"Why don't you tell me if you have stomach disease?" darren asked in his heart with the look in his eyes looking worriedly at Brenda.

Darren gently stroked Brenda's head so that she could see her forehead. And seconds later, Darren kissed her forehead.

"Geez!"

There was a sigh from Brenda's lips.

Heard the moans of Brenda. Darren and his seven best friends look straight at Brenda.

Brenda opened her eyes. After both eyes were opened. Brenda looked around.

Brenda sees Darren, her lover along with her seven best friends who are now looking at her worriedly.

Brenda wakes up from her sleep and is helped by Darren.

"Hows it? Is anyone sick?" ask Darren.

I heard a question from Darren. Brenda looked directly at Darren's face.

"I'm fine, Ren!" Brenda answered a question from Darren.

Darren looked into Brenda's face. Darren's gaze this time was a probing gaze.

Brenda who saw Darren's gaze that hinted at many questions made herself a little frightened.

It wasn't just Brenda who was a little scared looking at Darren's face. His seven best friends also looked at Darren with question marks and were also curious.

"Why is Darren staring at Brenda like that?" the seventh inner compact.

"Right now answer my question, Brenda Wilson!"

The deg!

Brenda was shocked when she heard Darren's cold voice. And so did his seven best friends.

"Why are you at the scene where we're all fighting the MifTa boys?" ask Darren.

Hearing the question from Darren instantly made Brenda surprised. He didn't think Darren would ask that.

Not getting an answer from Brenda made Darren growl in annoyance.

Hearing the cold voice and the clashing tone from Darren made Brenda instantly startled. And so did his seven best friends.

"I'm sorry" Brenda replied in her trembling voice.

Hearing Brenda's apology and shrill voice. Suddenly Darren realized what he had just done.

Grep's!

Darren slowly pulled Brenda's body and carried her into his arms.

"I'm sorry for yelling at you" Darren said.

"Hiks... I'm sorry," said Brenda.

"Now answer my question just now?" ask Darren.

"I... I am worried about you and your seven friends. When you and your seven best friends go to the cafeteria. I saw that something must have happened. Especially when you see your face. So I had to follow you secretly."

"And when I got there. I see you and the others are fighting with some group."

"I originally wanted to leave because I was afraid that I would be found out with you or your seven best friends. But not so."

"Why not be?" ask Darren.

"I think you, your seven friends and your members need help. Who knows those evil groups are cheating on you. So that way I can help you in my cunning way. But before my devious plan goes. I.h....,"

"Have been caught first!" exclaim Qenan, Willy, Rehan, Darel, Jerry, Axle and Dylan together.

Hearing the compact speech of his seven best friends Darren makes Brenda scowl annoyed.

Darren let go of his embrace. And after that, Darren looked at the pretty face of his lover.

"This time I'm sorry for what you did. But if it's that kind of shit again. I will not forgive you. Understood!" Darren spoke with great emphasis and also threat.

"alright. I promise," replied Brenda.

"I'm doing this not I don't want to accept help from you. It's just that I don't want you to do anything. I don't want you to get hurt."

"I'm sorry once," said Brenda.

"Once, forget! Don't repeat it again. Just this once you've been hurt or slapped by any man. If anyone dares to hurt or slap you again. Then you can be sure that person will die in my hands."

"I promise" replied Brenda.

If asked what is closest to us. The average person will answer something they like or see. Without them knowing. The closest thing to us is death, because we never know when it will come to us.

The fragrant smell of flowers welcomed Lino when she first set foot in the city cemetery. Still wearing his college uniform. Lino walked alone.

Lino clasped a white rose in her hand. After returning home from his college, Lino decided to visit a loved one.

The tomb area looked quiet and silent. Lino crouches in one of the tombs that read 'Dinda'. Lino painstakingly plucked the weeds that were around the tomb.

After which, Lino placed the flowers she had brought in front of the headstone. Lino stared at the old tombstone.

"Mama, how are you? Sorry Lino just came."

Lino closed her eyes as the wind blew against her face. A smile rose on his lips.

"Lino Kangen Mom. Mama is fine there. Lino loves mama."

Lino kissed her mother's headstone trying to channel the longing she had been alone.

Lino started chattering about everything she's been through all day. Sometimes the face was smiling widely, sometimes it was also hardened with fused eyebrows. Without Lino realizing there was another figure looking at her from a distance.

Lino exhaled. After finishing telling a story in front of his mother's grave. Although three years have passed. But still, Lino had not gotten used to it without Dinda's figure beside her. It feels like just yesterday Dinda drove him to school. Just yesterday Dinda woke her up with a spatula in her hand.

Lino smiled again as she recalled those times. And now it doesn't feel like it's been three years since Dinda left him alone.

"Gue so always overthinking if alone gini," muttered Lino.

"Mama, Lino go home first. Laper. Hehehehe."

Lino also moved from her squatting position before Lino again kissed her mother's tombstone.

Lino looked back at her mother's tombstone, then waved her hand.

And after that, Lino actually left the tomb.
