Friend Bed

Observation

Looking at Laurie who now opened her eyes, even greeting her Alvaro was stunned. "You?" asked Alvaro while frowning.

"Yes Doctor Alvaro, sorry to surprise you."

"Call me Alvaro. So you're actually conscious? When you shed your tears, you're actually conscious, right?" ask Alvaro.

Lauri smiled, then slowly nodded her head. "Yes, I was conscious by then and I heard your story."

"I've been expecting Laurie."

"You've guessed that I've come to my senses? But you keep pretending to everyone?"

"Yes, I just assumed that you were conscious, but I can't confirm all that, so I haven't dared to draw any conclusions, and I also know you must have a reason to do all this."

"You're right, Alvaro, and you know why."

Alvaro smiled as well. "Yes, I already know you want to get away from Zack, right?"

"Because this is all I can do, Alvaro. So you're gonna help me, right? You want to cover up all this truth, if I'm conscious?"

"Of course, Laurie. Of course I'll help you, but you know I only have 3 months to take care of you?"

"And I don't want to go back to Zack either."

"So, during those 3 months you're gonna figure out a way to get yourself out of Zack?"

"Of course Alvaro, and the only person who can help me is you. Are you gonna help me?"

"Whatever I'll do to help you Laurie, you take it easy I can't see the sadness on your face when I have to live with Zack."

A sweet smile was on Laurie's lips, when she heard Alvaro's words. Seeing that sweet smile, it instantly made Alvaro's heart seem to stop beating.

"But this is not an easy thing Laurie, Zack is a big mafia, it must be very difficult for you to get away from him," said Alvaro to cover his heartbreak.

"I know it's Alvaro, I know it."

"Then, do you have any plans to escape Zack?"

"Actually I don't have Alvaro's plan yet, because for now, the most important thing is that I can live a quiet life without Zack beside me."

"Are you so hurt living with him?"

"I've been hurt so much, even since I haven't been married to him. It hurts a lot and it's not easy, Alvaro. I was forced to marry her, leave my lover, and had to breastfeed when I found out my lover was killed by Zack. It really traumatized me."

"Yes I know, it must be very heavy, which is why I want to help you, even though I know it's going to be difficult because what we're dealing with is not a fool, Laurie."

"Yes Alvaro, I know that."

"But Laurie, aren't you tired of sleeping here all the time?" ask Alvaro.

"Tired? Don't you ask Alvaro, actually sleeping constantly is very tiring. But, how else? This is all I can do to get away from Zack."

"Why didn't you tell your mama Laurie the truth?"

"No way, it's very dangerous for my mom, and I don't want my family to get hurt again because of Zack."

"Then why do you believe me?"

"Because Zack would never suspect you."

"That's what you think, didn't you hear, yesterday he threatened me too?"

"Yes, I know that because I was conscious by then."

"But trust me that he can't possibly be suspicious of you, I know what Zack's nature is."

"Well if Zack doesn't suspect me, will you go with me tonight?"

"Go? Where are we going, Alvaro?"

Laurie smiled as well. "I'm so tired, Alvaro."

"Well, I'll help you out of this room tonight. Then I'll take you around for a while so you don't get bored."

"Then what about mom? Doesn't my mom always look after me?"

"You take it easy, it'll be my business."

"Thank you Alfaro."

"Yes are the same."

Suddenly the door opened, Laurie then pretended to be unconscious again. "Alvaro are you here?"

"Yes Aunt Olivia. Where's aunt?"

"Oh, I just went to the cafeteria."

"Oh, um.., Aunt Olivia, how about tonight should Aunt Olivia just rest at home?"

"Rest at home? What do you mean Alvaro?"

"Look Aunt Olivia, actually later tonight there is an observation about Laurie's condition. I intend to check the response of all of Laurie's nervous system. It is likely that over the night Laurie underwent a series of nerve tests in her body. So, better Aunt Olivia sleep at home, let me take care of Laurie."

"Well then, tonight's Aunt Laurie ya Alvaro."

"Yes Aunt Olivia, then I go out first, I have to check on my other patients."

"Yes Alvaro, thank you very much."

Alvaro then walked out of the room, while Laurie could only speak inwardly. "Anything, did you lie to your mom like that so I wouldn't get bored sleeping in this room all the time? Then, you also take me around? Turns out, you're better than I thought."

Not long after Alvaro's out. The door opened again, and suddenly Laurie's heart was pounding even more and more, feeling a bad feeling. And, it's true that the one who came to visit him was Zack.

His feelings are now so mixed, between disgusted, angry, and hate. He wanted to say something rude and throw Zack out of the room, but what could he do? All he could do right now was fall asleep in the gurney while listening to Zack and Olivia talk.

"Mama Olivia, how are you?"

"My news was never okay after my daughter married you Zack! You should know that!"

Zack smiled wryly. "Mama Olivia, why did you say that to me? Mama should be happy Laurie's married to me, because I'm sure I'm the only man who can protect Laurie."

"Protect? If you could protect Laurie, there's no way she'd be like this! You should realize, you better let Laurie go right now or things will get worse!"

"Why did my mom say that? Don't you know I love Laurie so much? Even tonight I intend to accompany Laurie in this hospital."

Hearing Zack's words, Laurie was so shocked. 'Oh no, lest tonight he wait for me in this hospital, if until he waits for me here, then my plan and Alvaro will fail, ' Laurie's inner self.

"What's? Waiting for Laurie at this hospital? I won't let it, after all, Dr. Alvaro said that Laurie had an observation tonight to find out the response from her body."

"Observation?"

"What is ma?"

"Doctor Alvaro just said he'd test all of Laurie's nerves, to draw conclusions on which nerves are still functioning properly."

"Oh so it's like that, then I'll wait for Laurie during the observation."

"Oh no," Inner Laurie.
