ELLA AND MICHAEL
Didn't You See That Mad Couple?
“You didn't see that crazy couple? They must have escaped in the morning. Look them. Can they split up?”
Ella saw a crazy couple who were looking friendly.
“Your healthy will not win against lust, Michael. Are you gonna let them escape? You're taking your responsibilities as a nurse?”
“Or separate them even though they know they are kasmaran? Without the slightest pity?”
“Let's just stay for tonight, so you can take her to the hospital tomorrow. How, Nurse Michael?”
“I'm being suspended. I have no responsibility for them.”
As he walked away, Michael suddenly stopped his steps and thought for a moment.
Finally, Michael also wanted to spend the night in the villa and keep a couple who fled from RSJ.
***
In the evening, Michael is sitting on the balcony of the villa and daydreaming alone.
Michael was looking straight at his phone waiting for Marco to call him.
Ella approached Michael and brought a drink from the villa.
“Villa owners give us this drink. He made this fruit extract.”
Ella poured the drink she brought into the glass, and gave it to Michael.
“You haven't gotten a call from your sister? Give cellphone. Let me call him.”
“Not necessary. I'll call him myself.”
Michael stands up and moves away from Ella to contact Marco.
“Ya,” replied Marco from his phone.
“You eat, Brother?”
“Pizza.”
“Waahh. You guys must be partying. What are you doing now?”
“You alone?” Marco asked back.
“What? Me? I.. I'm talking to you.”
Michael is nervous and looking for answers, so Marco doesn't suspect him.
“When are you home?”
“On that, it seems like I will be very late.”
“Middle of the night? Or 01:00? At 02.00?”
“Not so. Maybe I'm not home today. I'll spend the night here.”
“You sleep, Brother. Don't wait for me to come home. Close the window before going to bed. Don't sleep on the floor. Make sure the fan is on so you don't overheat.”
“Contact me, if you're bored or can't sleep.”
“You too. Contact me if bored.”
Marco shut off his phone after that.
Michael went back to the balcony and sat down with Ella.
He drank the drink Ella had poured into his glass.
“I've seen your expression in drama,” Ella said.
“What do you mean?” ask Michael.
“The expression of a man caught cheating on his wife. Haha. I don't want to be your affair. I want to be your wife.”
“Can't they be friends? My brother is very happy to be your best friend.”
“I also like your sister. She's so adorable.”
“Life, my mother wants my sister to have friends. A true friend who understands it. Just one.”
“I've also had friends like that. A friend who understood me while I was still sitting on the SD.” bench
“The girl was scared of her classmates. While his classmates were afraid of me.”
“I was happy then because I had a playmate. He is also happy because he is not bullied by his classmates anymore.”
“However, he is not satisfied with one friend. He wants to be friends with everyone.”
“While I hate him that way.”
Ella started telling her about her friend when she was a child to Michael.
And it's true. The friend Ella refers to is Jane.
“Then? You bothering his friends?” ask Michael.
“Yes. I thought she would only be friends with me, if she was alone again.”
“It turns out I was wrong. From the beginning I had no friends who could understand each other.”
“Consolve with it.”
Michael also seemed to understand, that Jane was what Ella meant.
“I don't want.”
“Why?”
“Because I already have a friend, and I already have you.”
Ella sat up to Michael and leaned on his shoulder.
“Gosh. You... Your cheek..”
“Lease!”
*BRUKK!!!
Michael fell off the bench while removing Ella's hand from her cheek.
“Enter. It's night. Let's rest.”
Michael stood up and rushed into the simple villa.
Ella who followed Michael entered the villa.
They both held two floor mattresses lined up, to sleep and rest.
When Michael had gone to bed first, Ella looked at Michael's handsome face, even though he was asleep.
Ella takes Michael's phone next to her pillow and turns it off so that no one bothers them.
“Hei! Sleep in the next room.”
Michael wakes up and tells Ella to sleep in the room.
“I don't want to. I want to be here with you.”
Michael sleeps on his side and turns his back on Ella.
“Sials. Don't turn your back on me.”
Ella pulled back Michael's shoulder so as not to sleep on his back.
“Hahahaha.”
Michael just smiled, then laughed with it.
“You laugh like a fool when you're drunk.”
“Fun while with you. I can keep smiling,” said Michael with his eyes already dimmed and closed his eyes.
“Huft. Can't do this,” Ella said.
“What do you mean?” michael asked with his eyes closed.
Ella begins to pick up the pillow and slaps it at Michael.
*UK!!
Even Michael who did not accept it began to reply. They hit each other in the villa.
Until Michael locks and holds Ella's hand, so as not to hit her back.
“Good. Untie me. I want to sleep.”
Ella gives up when she can't move, being held back by Michael.
“Say I'm going to sleep. Never mind, let go of me.”
When Michael takes off Ella's hand, Ella pulls Michael's neck, causing him to change position.
They both hugged on the floor, as Michael was unprepared when Ella pulled him.
Michael hugged Ella and protected her head from being knocked to the floor when she fell.
Ella felt very protected by Michael.
“Tree. Shut up like this. Quick sleep,” said Michael who still hugged Ella on the floor.
“Conon can fall asleep faster when your head is rubbed.”
Michael also stroked Ella's head to fall asleep quickly.
After Ella fell asleep, Michael moved his head to the pillow slowly so as not to wake her up.
Michael sat down and leaned against the wall to see Ella sleeping.
“I told you. If I were with you, I would never be able to hold myself back again. From now on, I can't escape,” Michael told sleeping Ella.
****
In the morning, Ella wakes up from her sleep and sees Michael, who is not next to her.
Ella began to get confused and searched around the villa.
Ella comes out of the villa when she hasn't found Michael.
In the courtyard of the villa, Ella sees Michael coming out of nowhere.
Michael walked up to him with something hidden behind his body.
“Where are you from?” ask Ella.
“Akuuu..”.
“There is nothing I haven't given you back then.”
“What?” ask Ella.
Michael also took out the jasmine he was carrying and took it out from behind his body.
I don't know where Michael got those really beautiful jasmine flowers.
“Don't step on this time,” Michael said.
“Beauty once.”
Ella receives a jasmine flower given by Michael that morning.
“You are also beautiful.”
Confidently, Michael finally kissed the lips after saying that.
Michael only grimaced with a smile after kissing Ella's lips. He looks so plain and stiff.
Same with Ella. He was so surprised Michael kissed his lips in the courtyard of the villa.
Ella also smiled looking at Michael who was laughing because of the wrong behavior.
The two of them joined hands and returned to the village.
Michael immediately packed his things, then went and drove the couple who fled the RSJ.
Upon arriving at the hospital, the couple rushed back to the director's room to report, then returned to his room.
Michael also rushed to the hospital to meet Marco who was finishing his painting.
Inside the hospital, Marco is seen cleaning his hands from the paint on the toilet.
As he returns and passes by the director's room, Marco hears a hazy patient chat about Ella and Michael staying together at the villa.
Marco began to fall silent with a wry face, but did not know who to be angry with, because Michael had lied to him.
As he returned to the lobby and was about to clean up his equipment, he saw Michael looking for him there.
“Where are you from? Why didn't you pick up the phone from me?” ask Marco.
“I'm sorry, Brother. My battery ran out, so, I can't pick up the phone from you.”
“Where are you from? Answer my question!”
“I told you, didn't I? I went to Texas because there was an appointment.”
“You lied. I told you, don't lie to me.”
“Kak, what's wrong with you?” ask Michael who has not realized that Marco already knows everything.
“Who would you prefer? Me or Ella?”
“Why are you asking that, Brother. Of course.”
“Who did you choose? Me or Ella?”
Marco continued to whine and ask Michael.
“Jeez, Marco. He certainly likes you better.”
Rose who was also there helped calm Marco who was about to explode.
“You must answer! Answer me!!!!”
Marco was screaming there.
Rose who did not want to interfere went to leave the siblings who were fighting.
“Of course, I like you more, Kak.”
“No. You lied.”
“You lied. Everybody lies. Lies. I told you not to lie!!!”
*BRUSH!!!
Marco throws paint and spills it on Michael's shirt.
“Don't lie to me! Everyone's lying!”
“No. No, Sis. I didn't lie to you.”
Michael is still trying to calm Marco down when other patients see them fighting.
“I'm sorry. I'm guilty. I won't repeat it.”
Fortunately, the director of the hospital immediately came and calmed Marco down in the special room of the patient affected by the mental disorder.
The director brought Marco into the room to calm himself down first.
The director met Michael who was waiting for Marco outside the room.
“He fell asleep after taking a sedative. For a while, let him be here. No need to be treated, just for temporary protection.”
“Good, Sir. I entrust everything to you,” said Michael who looked desperate.
The director went back to his room leaving Michael.
“He will be asleep long enough. While waiting, look for fresh air outside,” said Rose who also left Michael.
Ella, who was standing next to the wall, felt very sorry for Michael.
Michael was like very depressed by the existence of his brother who always burdened him.
Michael could only hold back and be patient over everything that happened to him.
Michael stood up and left the hospital.
He continued to stagger, as he limped his mind at the thought of his brother.
Ella walks out to follow Michael.
Michael continues to walk without knowing the purpose that makes Ella feel tired and continues to follow him from behind.
“Hei. Where are you going? How far will you walk? My legs are not strong. Michael!!!”
“Aduh!!!”
Ella fell because of her sprained leg.
Even so, Michael continued his steps regardless of Ella.
“I told you not to turn your back on me!”
*UK!!
Ella throws her shoes until they hit Michael's back.
Finally, Michael stopped his steps and turned to Ella.
“Hmm. Your own fault, do not want to stop and have a back very field.”
Ella walked with a slightly limp leg approaching Michael.
“You're not hungry? Two stations from here there is a very good udon shop.”
“Ella. Stop following me.”
As Michael was about to continue his steps, Ella held Michael's hand.
“We join. We should always be together.”
Ella smiled at Michael with great hope.
“Go home, Ella. I have to be with my brother.”
Michael leaves Ella.
Ella cried and stood in her place, because she was not strong enough to follow Michael.
***
That night, after Michael walked aimlessly, Michael finally returned to see his brother's condition.
He kept seeing Marco from outside the window who still did not want to open the door for him.
Michael was very confused and sad.
Michael fell asleep in the front seat of his brother's room until the next day.
The director who saw Michael shook his head and did not expect Michael would wait for his brother like that.
“Gosh. He's like a ghost waiting for the room.”
The director entered Marco's room.
Marco was still hiding under the covers and moving his own hands behind the covers.
“Marco. You must be feeling hot. Don't you want to go out?”
After not getting an answer from Marco, the director came out of the room and took Michael away from there.
When the director came out, Marco took off his blanket, and opened the door of his room.
He saw Michael and the director walking together leaving the room.
The director invited Michael to speak in his room.
“Eat this. This is the best food when no appetite.”
The director offered Michael a ginger candy.
Michael took the candy and ate it.
“You ever played 3 feet racing?” ask director.
“One leg tied up with your partner and running around together. I've done it a few times with my son.”
“We can never get to the finish line because I always stumble. Hahahaha.”
“You're like you're racing three feet.”
“Are we blocking each other?” ask Michael.
“No. You are even interdependent. If one survives well when the other stumbles, you won't fall together.”
“Try to stay afloat. Who knows? Marco may be your helper later.”
“I think Marco has forgotten everything. He never talked about that incident. I think he's forgotten about it.”
Michael is convinced that Marco has forgotten about the butterfly.
Marco also disliked butterflies, because his mother was killed by a female psychopath who, while killing his mother, wore a butterfly brooch on his shirt.
“That's what you want to believe. Most people with autism have excellent memory.”
“However, sometimes they avoid their feelings, or express them in a different way than us.”
“Dodging?” ask Michael.
“Don't let you dodge, but face it. Quickly start working.”
“With a slight threat from me, the man you hit back then has dropped his demands.”
“You've been suspended for a few days. That's more than enough for your punishment, though I might consider it just self-defense.”
Looks like the director will hire Michael again at RSJ OLDER.
“Fish but..”
“Already. Your replacement can't work so well. I just want you to work back.”
