Fugitive Woman

Fugitive Woman
Misguided



Darian happily waited at the dining table while Kalila finished her cooking in the kitchen. Like an enthusiastic little boy waiting for his mother to make his favorite food. Shortly after, Hanna comes out of her room and sits at the dinner table with Darian.


Unlike the usual, today Hanna's face looks sumringah. It was as if something good had just happened to him.


"Tumben once today you look cheerful? Is there any good news? Darian asked confusedly.


Hanna just shook her head and smiled. His mouth did not stop humming as he read the magazine. Moments later, Kalila finished making breakfast for the three of them. Her smile brought some food.


"Have you finished cooking, honey?"


Kalila nodded and landed a short kiss on Darian's lips.


"Well, do you want breakfast now?" Ask Kalila.


Darian nodded. But Hanna was choked to see a plate containing several pieces of chicken katsu. Hanna remembered the poison she had mixed into Kalila's marinated chicken at dawn.


"That's, what are you cooking?" Tanya Hanna pointed at the plate containing chicken katsu on the table.


"It's chicken katsu, Ma'am. I cooked it specifically for Darian because it's his favorite. But you can eat it too, Mother. Do you want to?" Kalila's offer to Hanna.


Hanna shook her head reluctantly and rejected him. The look on her face turned frantic looking at Kalila who was spooning the chickens to Darian's plate.


"Didn't you eat that chicken?" Hanna was confused.


Kalila shook her head with a smile.


"No, Ma'am. I never eat too much breakfast in the morning. So this is for Darian." Answer Kalila.


Hanna's facial water is getting worse. He's really in big trouble. Hanna couldn't imagine what would happen to her if Darian was really uprooted by her actions.


"Why does your face look so grim? As I recall a few seconds ago your mood looked good." Darian asked watching Hanna's change in expression.


Hanna shook her head and smiled badly.


"It's nothing, Darian. Just ignore my mood."


Darian just shrugged his shoulders and went back to eating his breakfast. While Hanna, her face looked even more pale every time Darian scooped her food into her mouth. Cold sweat ran down his forehead. Hanna realized she was really done.


"Darling, I'll go to the office first." Pamit Darian to Kalila as she finishes her breakfast.


Kalila hugged her lover tightly.


"Good work, Ian. Later in the day I will go to your office again to bring you lunch as usual." Kalila said with a cheerful tone.


Darian peaked Kalila's head.


"Then I'll wait for you, dear." Reply Darian.


Darian let go of his embrace and walked out of his house. But not five steps he walked, his body collapsed suddenly. Darian fell to the floor and groaned in pain while holding his stomach.


"Gurghhh!" Darian cried hard.


Kalila. In a panic he rushed straight towards Darian.


"Darling, what's wrong? What happened to you, Ian?" Ask Kalila worriedly.


Darian grimacing pain. His stomach felt like it had been pierced by a million needles and he did not know why.


"I don't know either. My stomach hurts so much. Can you take me to the hospital, honey?" Pinta Darian is weak.


Kalila nodded. He then tried to get Darian but failed. Kalila's body was only half of her lover's body. It was highly unlikely that the petite woman could hold Darian alone. Hanna ran over to the two of them with a face that was no less worried.


"Darian, what happened to you? Here let me help you!" Hanna offered.


But Darian even shook Hanna's hand. The woman looked surprised by Darian's reaction.


Hanna could only stare at the two of them going away and getting into Darian's car. The car was driven by Darian's private driver. He heads to the hospital and leaves Hanna burning with anger. Angrily Hanna cursed while kicking the jar that was nearby until it broke.


"Argh! Goddamnit! Why is my poison even about Darian! Goddamnit! Woman*******it's always lucky!"


...****************...


Darian opened his eyes slowly and looked at the infusion bottle hanging by his side. Drop by drop flowed slowly along with the aching feeling that flowed in his hands. Darian looked around and all he came across was a white room with a strong disinfectant smell. His eyes then look for the figure of his lover, Kalila. He remembered that the one who brought him here was Kalila.


"Calilla? Darling?" Call Darian weak.


But Darian can't find Kalila anywhere. Shortly after, Kalila was seen coming out of the bathroom. His face was instantly sumringah when he saw Darian who had woken up from his sleep.


"Dian? Are you awake, honey?" Kalila said happily.


Darian nodded weakly. Kalila then sat down on the side of Darian's bed. His hand touched Darian's forehead as if he wanted to check his temperature.


"What do you feel now?" Ask Kalila worried.


Darian laughed a little.


"Looks like my heart's pounding, honey." Darian replied seriously.


Kalila's face turned to panic. He put his ear on Darian's chest.


"But nothing seems strange?" Imbuh Kalila was confused.


"Try listening again, honey. I'm sure my heart beats so fast." Reply Darian with a smile.


Kalila then turned to look at Darian who was watching him amusedly.


"You lied to me, Ian. You pranking me, huh?" Accuse Kalila while pretending to be flirting.


Darian laughed again and hugged Kalila tightly.


"No, I'm not lying. My heart feels really stubborn but it's because of you, dear Kalyakan." Said Darian while stroking Kalila's face.


Kalila punched Darian's hand slowly while pursing her lips. He felt annoyed because he had just been bullied by his girlfriend.


"Don't be angry, honey. Later I'll kiss you until you can't sulk anymore." Tempta Darian spoiled.


"Ian, please. Don't you know how worried I am because of your circumstances? Suddenly you fell down and groaned in pain." Kalila Gerrutu.


"What happened to me? What did the doctor say?" Darian said curiously.


Kalila then took Darian's hand which was attached to an infusion needle. He stroked the hand gently as if afraid to hurt it. Kalila then placed Darian's big, strong hand next to her cheek.


"They said you had drug poisoning. The doctor found a pretty high dose of laxative in your stomach, dear Ian." Obviously Kalila while looking at Darian with worry.


Darian gasped to hear it. But as if realizing something, Darian's countenance turned serious.


"I'm sorry, Ian. Maybe I was the one who was so hurt that I caused you to experience all this. Really, I'm sorry, Ian Darling." Pinta Kalila almost cried.


"St! You don't have to apologize to me, honey. I won't blame you. I know this isn't all your fault. Please, don't cry, dear Kalbehak? My heart aches to see you grieve like this." Persuade Darian.


But Kalila was still crying. He put his head back on Darian's body and looked at his lover with guilt.


"Really, Kalila. Don't feel bad like this. You're innocent of anything, my dear." Darian's words convinced Kalila.


Kalila again hugged Darian who was still lying weak.


"Don't worry, dear Kalila. Let me teach this insolent man a lesson myself."
