Engelskraft: Love of Wasted Angels

Call Medicine

Cold air blew in the silence of the night. The rustling of the leaves was heard clearly until it entered the house. In a secluded villa in the middle of the forest, there were two angels staring intently at each other. The dim light was only visible on one side of the room where they faced each other. It seemed like the dim light was intentional in order not to be conspicuous from a distance.

“Milo, I'm honestly curious about the mission you're on. You told me not to interfere too much, just to help you stay on His path. But, seeing your increasingly obsessed with Ailey, I can't silence her.” Said Mario with clean white wings attached to his back.

Milo did not respond to Mario's words. He just sat on the sofa with his dull wings. Occasionally he noticed the wings of his partner's shiny white.

“Milo, my mission is to keep you on the path of truth. I think you've gone too far involving your feelings for that woman.” Further.

“What feelings? My mission does involve Ailey, inevitably I have to be close to her, right?” Milo Protest.

“You know ‘kan if Ailey has HIV?” Ask Mario.

Milo nodded his head with a bitter face because he felt disturbed by the question, “That is Ailey's biggest secret that he has been quieting for a long time.” Said.

“Lantas why did you tell him that the secret was on the edge? Just let those humans determine their own destiny, we don't need to interfere.” Obviously Mario.

“I didn't tell you specifically, you take it easy.” Milo replied annoyed.

“However you have violated the rules! Angels cannot reveal the fate of a person. Let it be a secret of our Master's. Humans, they must guess their fate and make their own decisions to work their way. As long as Master hasn't told us to tell people anything, you better shut up.” Firmly Mario straighten.

The two angels were silent. Mario's voice was a sign of simmering emotions. He was as persistent as it reminded Milo because if his mission failed to keep Milo in His way, he would be punished by what he called Master.

“Thank you for reminding me,” said Milo. “But do you know why I'm worried about Ailey?”

Mario shook his head. The silent atmosphere again occurred for a few minutes as if Milo wanted to say something very heavy. Taking a deep breath, Milo's reply made the fellow surprised.

“Because I have to take responsibility for that woman's suffering. I caused Ailey to get HIV.”

Mario was surprised to hear that. He put his feet back and sat on the floor. Uncontrolled emotions made him unable to maintain an angelic figure on him.

“The story is long.” Connect Milo.

A teacup located on the table with a plate of biscuits looks very complementary to each other. Decorated with a flower vase that is so charming, the table shows its beauty. The sound of camera shots is heard repeatedly to capture the beautiful moment.

“Lanny, you seriously want to be a photographer?” Lina asked her sister who was busy photographing the very sweet teacup.

“Iya, I will pursue my dreams. I don't want to be like you who have to meet the expectations of the Marliani family.” Answer Lanny ketus.

“Start again. I'm tired of fighting with you.” Lina.

“Kevin, how was my photo?” Lanny asked happily while showing the photos from her DSLR camera.

“Hmm. Not bad's. But, the results are like photos on instagram, yes. Hehe.” Answer Kevin who is sitting next to Lina.

“Kevin, you still remember the medicine I found in your car?” Tanya Lina changed the subject.

“Iya, why?”

“I checked it out to my friend who works in the lab. Results surprise!” He said while removing a plastic containing an ARV drug from his bag.

“Indeed, what medicine?” Ask Kevin in curiosity.

“This is a drug for treatment of HIV.”

“Hah? Kevin's sick? You got HIV?” Shouted Lanny spontaneously.

“Jeez, where is possible! That's not my medicine. It's unclean if you have to deal with such a disease. You don't talk carelessly!” Refuse Kevin while pinching the girl's head.

“How rough, is it that bad for HIV?” Lanny Timpal.

“It's an infectious disease. Just imagining it disgusts me.” Said the man.

“If this is not your medicine, then whose medicine? Try to remember well anyone who rides in your car.” Lina tried to remind me.

“When the director of bank A once hitchhiked, then my college friends also had time to pick up for a reunion. Then..” Kevin fell silent. He did not continue his sentence in surprise at something. In addition to the people he has called, he remembers that he once picked up Ailey in his car.

“Then what?” Urged Lina.

“Oh, it's okay. If this is indeed such an important medicine, I must return it to its owner. Later I try to contact them one by one.” Answer avoids.

“But can't HIV be cured? What is the function of this drug?” Ask Lanny curious.

“HIV does not have an antidote. However, this ARV drug is able to suppress the growth rate of the virus so that people with HIV can live like healthy people.” Clearly Lina was copying the explanation of her friend who worked in the lab.

While listening to the chat of the two brothers, Kevin's gaze was unclear. Who is the owner of the drug? Her thought. Ailey's face was implied in her mind, yet she was still not completely convinced. To be sure, his entire body is goosebumps because it was once a car with HIV sufferers.

“Lanny, why did you pay attention to this medicine to the extent?” Reprimanded Lina when she realized her sister noticed the medicine without budging.

“Hmm. I am no stranger to this medicine. Where, have I seen it?” The woman said plain.

“Your friend is HIV?” Lina.

“Nothing. But I'm sure I've seen it somewhere.” He put his chin on the table.

“From second-guessing, I will ask directly to the people who have hitched a ride in my car. Here's the medicine I brought.” Cut Kevin.

The ARV drug he put in Kevin's shirt pocket. While thinking hard, a sense of anxiety enveloped him. If it wasn't from one of his friends, it was most likely that the medicine was Ailey's, he thought. Even though he was comfortable with his employees, but he also did not dare to be too close to people with HIV. The man felt that HIV was a terrible infectious disease. It seems that even rich people like Kevin still have corrupt thoughts without qualified knowledge related to this disease. Whereas during school, sexual education has been obtained including knowledge about HIV disease. However, it seems that the man has not been able to accept the presence of HIV sufferers around him.
