This morning was greeted by a beautiful silhouette from the eastern horizon. Yellow light to emasan beautifies the look of the horizon. The cold morning breeze spreads goodness for every creature of the earth. Morning dew drops add a fresh aura to the morning air, after a night of drama feels very tiring for everyone.
On top of this white gurney, this,
Della felt her body improve, only remaining blisters on her ankles and hands. The same thing also felt Dias, he did not experience serious injuries, only his abdominal muscles were tight. So they can get outpatient.
The door is pushed from the outside.
"You guys up ?" Maura came in and brought some food and Della's change of clothes. While Dias, her mother had left her to Maura when she was going to the hospital.
"Yes, where are you from?" Ask Della. He received a paper bag from Maura's hand. Since waking up, he did not find his best friend in the room.
"I went home to get your things and Dias. Now clean your bodies, want breakfast from the hospital ? or what I brought." Maura put the food box on the table.
"Eat what you just bring, then what about Erik ? Is he awake ? "Tanya Della turned to Erik who was still closing his eyes.
"After last night's surgery, Erik hasn't woken up. Let it go first. Maybe the dope influence is still there." Bright Maura. He also looked at Erik in bed. This cold man was so pale and weak.
Maura looked at the cold, weak man. Should have been, he was there, he should have felt the stitches and shreds when he took the bullet out. Maura should have felt a loss of consciousness when drugged.
"Don't blame yourself if I'm in Erik's position. Maybe do the same." Dias Seru. He understood the feelings of his friend. Maura felt guilty for Erik, for helping him the man fell down at this time. If Erik hadn't taken off his bulletproof vest then his shoulder wouldn't have been bullet-proof.
"He saved me. I should've been lying here with that wound." Lirih Maura was full of regrets.
...----------------...
A few hours later....
Della and Dias have been allowed to go home by Yudha, now Della is escorted by Dias back to Maura's house. While Maura stayed there to accompany Erik, because this morning Nazia and Ralda left Erik to her. Because Ralda had to go home to take her son to the pediatrician.
The sound of the clock spinning filled the silence in the room. No one spoke or joked, Maura put her foot on the window. He grabbed his curtain and threw his gaze down there.
Maura was fixated on a vehicle that looked like a moving toy. His lips smiled faintly as footage of the recent incident returned. I can't believe Erik sacrificed himself just to protect her, it shouldn't have happened. Maybe Erik pushed it enough then there were no shooting victims.
"How many hours did I fall asleep ?" The cold man muttered on top of his gurney. He adjusted his neutrality to the lighting in the room. Long periods of silence make it a little difficult to open your eyes directly.
"Are you awake ?" Maura stepped up and stood to the edge of the bed. Help change the position of the bed.
Erik was silent then stared fixedly at Maura's face, he breathed a sigh of relief after seeing firsthand the condition of this woman. "I'm thirsty..." Said raspy
Maura took a glass of water and gave it to Erik. "Drink." he thrust a glass in front of this man.
Erik smiled thinly barely visible. "My hands go limp, what if the glass falls." He said with an unread look. His red lips look still pale, but do not reduce the level of good looks. Although her hair was disheveled did not change the charm of an Erik.
"sorry. I'll help you drink." Maura felt awkward together with this cold man. He drew near to Erik's body and led the glass to his lips.
Erik drank the water without taking his eyes off. Although the pain is still the netra is sharply drawn into the bead of Maura's eye to make him feel uncomfortable.
"Where are Dias and Della ?" Erik asked after realizing there were two empty beds beside him.
"They came home this morning, they can also be outpatient, Dias drove Della home. You're in one room." Obviously Maura put the glass on the nightstand.
"Thank God, I'm hungry." Erik saw there was a bushel of food on the table. He was sure it was home-cooked food.
"So the nurse delivered food for you, it's probably cold because it's noon." Maura opened the bowl.
"Eat that one." Show Erik to the table.
"Alright, but before you were helped by the nurse clean your body first, just ate. Your bandages should also be replaced." Clearly Maura moved from where she was sitting and stepped towards the door.
"Where are you going ?" That flat voice again sounded to stop Maura's footsteps. Erik looked at Maura who was about to come out.
"So this is how you thank the person who helped you out of that bullet !" Ketus Erik stared intently.
Maura undoes her intention of opening the doorknob, then steps up to Erik's bed.
"Sorry.make you like this. Thank you for being a shield to me. I should have been shot instead of you, you shouldn't have given me your vest, so you wouldn't have been hurt. The bullet's not for me. In what way do I thank you again?" Speak with great guilt.
Erik stared fixedly at Maura's face and said. "Because you're here, it's your job to take care of me until I'm allowed to go home."
"Alright, if that's your request. I'll take care of you until I'm healed. Now what should I do for you ?" Maura asked in agreement to Erik's request.
"Take some water, wipe my body ! It feels all sticky." Pinta Erik with her flat face.
Maura glared in disbelief. "I can't do it, what if the nurses just." Refused nervous.
"No rejection, remember your promise Miss !" Erik's sharp eyes seemed to intimidate Maura.
Without refuting any longer, Maura immediately prepared the equipment to clean Erik's body. Once everything was ready, Maura placed the small basin on the nightstand.
"Please take off your shirt." His ink held back nervous and embarrassed half to death.
"My hands can't be moved freely. Because my shoulder hurts, I'll let you take my shirt off." Erik said casually and said without looking at Maura because he was sending a message to someone.
Maura stood in front of Erik then exhaled a sigh throwing out her nervousness and embarrassment. He began to unbutton the patient's shirt worn by Erik. Maura closed her eyes as the cold man's chest came into sight.
Erik brought his face closer to Maura, leaving almost no distance. Then saying. "Open your eyes ! Do you want to do your job wrong."
Maura reflexively opened her eyes and glared at Erik's face that close. For a moment their eyes locked onto each other, yet Maura immediately decided on that gaze. Erik smiled faintly glad to see Maura's face that close.
With full of struggle, finally Erik's clothes detached from his body. The rare sight that Maura saw. Erik's checkered stomach and field chest were so beautifully plastered clearly in front of his eyes. Maura slowly rubbed the towel wiping Erik's body.
It felt like Maura wanted to escape from the shame of touching those torn breads. Erik was only in charge of enjoying the beautiful red hue imprinted on Maura's cheeks.
"Your face is red, you have a fever?" Erik touched Maura's cheek with his index finger. It feels so soft and supple.
Maura pulled her face a little. "I'm just sultry." Rigid answers. Then turning back, Maura's feeling was sliced back to see the wound on Erik's back covered in bandages.
Maura wiped it gently, then thought. Is Erik not in pain sleeping in a tilted position ? Did Erik feel the pain of his wound ? Maura involuntarily blew a soft wound covered in Erik's bandage.
Erik's fine feathers stood up, feeling the warmth of Maura's breath on his shoulders. Erik closed his eyes feeling a strange sensation on his skin. The door suddenly opened.
"Well, there's a new nurse apparently." Yudha smiled. He approached Erik's bed.
"Please tell him how to replace my bandage." Tell Erik, as usual his attitude is flat and cold.
"So because of this you sent me a message." Yudha smiled mockingly.
Meanwhile, Maura put the marks of cleaning Erik's body into the bathroom and cleaned it. Maura patted her cheek with water throwing a heat on her face.
Eric looked at Yudha and smiled. "Tell me, Brother Zev ! Don't let anyone see me." His words are strange but firm.
"Alright, now call Maura. I'll teach him to replace your bandage." Yudha Papar.
After getting a short but useful lesson, Maura now prepared a meal for Erik. The cold man wanted to eat the food Maura brought.
"Can you eat by yourself ?" Ask Maura. He was very uncomfortable with that condition. Even he was confused, why did not a single nurse enter except Yudha.
"My hands are shaking." Erik answered briefly and clearly. Code that he wants in a bribe.
