I'M Sorry To Hurt You [Last]

TWENTY-THREE

I stared fixed Edgar still in a state of slump on the floor. Edgar lay on top of the bed with a bandage wound on his left arm - the first gunshot scar as well as the second shot lodged in his abdomen. Three hours ago, he realized. His face was still very pale.

“Elias, come! Sit here!” Edgar patted the weak empty spot next to him as we were just the two of us in the room. Mommy, Daddy and Randy gave us a chance to speak one-on-one. He said, I sit next to him.

“Sorry, I'm sorry for what I've done so far, Ed.” I almost whispered a loud whisper apologizing. My head looked down at the white floor while creeping both my hands together. Lamenting my stupidity all this time who trusted Jeremy too much. Maybe an apology doesn't deserve me being too mean to Edgar.

“You're sorry, El.” Edgar smiled gently.

I looked into his eyeballs, astonished to not believe his words - as easy as it was to forgive my mistakes? Smiling faintly, Edgar had a heart like an angel.

I looked down again, unable to look into his dim eyes. I slowly felt her hands rubbing my head. I became like a child being treated by him, but also did not refuse his actions. Comfortable like your own sister.

“Thank you, Ed---”

“Call me brother, Elias. Especially now that you're my sister-in-law.” Edgar laughed weakly trying to melt the atmosphere. I smiled clumsily, and then came along with a small, sloppy laugh. I took a slow breath that felt so tight. Edgar clasped my hand, feeling warm flowing into this frozen heart.

“On my illness-I think you already know, El.”

Recalling Edgar's illness as if my heart had been pierced. I just nodded weakly, staring at his dim eyes that only emitted a hint of light there.

“Please, El. Don't say anything to Purnama that I'm sick. I don't want Purnama to worry about me.”

I let out a short sigh. “Ta-but, Ed---”

“Please, El. This is my last request.”

I didn't turn my head and listen to Edgar's last request. I exhale. Why did Edgar give me such a hard choice.

“Has Jeremy been caught?” Edgar turned this stifling talk around. I just shook my head.

“That's why I'm the dumbest guy in the world, Ed. I can believe Jeremy's words and take revenge on the wrong people ..” lirihku rahu.

“Already, El. Don't you regret it anymore. Do you know the cause of Kalina's suicide?”

I was stunned for a moment. I looked at Edgar's shady eyes, my eyes moved agitatedly and hesitantly answered his question. “Yes I know, aren't you the-”

Edgar nodded quickly. “You're wrong, El. It wasn't me who dumped him and caused him to commit suicide.”

My forehead shrinks. Isn't Edgar the cause? Is there anything else I don't know anymore?

“That's all the cause is Jeremy.” Edgar took a deep breath. “Actually, Jeremy and Kalina are having an affair behind you.”

Whahuh? I jumped in shock. But-well, this heart is not throbbing pain hearing Kalina having an affair behind my back. Am I starting to let go? But different when I heard Purnama who had an affair with Randy, this heart seemed to burn flames of jealousy and anger simultaneously.

“Your parents knew that Kalina was having an affair, so your stepmother, aunt Maria ordered me to investigate. Be me pretending to approach her, and it turns out Kalina is interested in me to offer to be my girlfriend, having an affair behind you and also Jeremy.”

My mind instantly went blank hearing Edgar's explanation. Kalina dared to play three men at once. Yeah, God.

“But I'm not interested in him, and warned him to leave you. My goal was to get him to decide you weren't too hurt, knowing what he was doing behind your back. Finally he complied and decided on you, right,” explained Edgar.

Back my memories revolved when Kalina decided on me for no reason. So that's the real story.

“Do you know the real cause of Kalina's suicide, El?”

“What I heard from Jeremy, because depression was decided by you,” I answered honestly.

“You're wrong, El. The reason for the suicide is because Kalina knew the fact that Jeremy was the killer of your parents, so she could not keep the big secret. Then Jeremy turned around to slander me.”

Kuremat both my hands. Back I cursed at my own stupidity when I found out that Jeremy and Kalina were having an affair behind me. Why didn't I realize it. Yeah, God.

“Sorry in advance if it offends you, Ed. Were not both of your parents killed?” tanyaku slowly a little hesitant to express what has been a question in my mind.

Edgar sighed for a moment “On that, actually my parents found out that both of your parents were killed by Jeremy from me, until Jeremy killed both of my parents to erase the evidence that it was the culprit.”

My chest rumbles. Again and again I felt a shortness of breath, as if there were invisible hands that were cringing my heart, aching deeply. Because of my parents' murder, Edgar's parents were also dragged into trouble.

Edgar patted my shoulder. “There's no need for you to regret it anymore, El. Now we're focused on catching Jeremy first. I haven't calmed down leaving this world if Jeremy hasn't been caught, which means my job isn't done.”

“Don't say that, Ed. You've protected me enough.” My hands were shaking with his weak hands. I put it on my cheek. My heart is throbbing pain.

“How can I pay for all my mistakes to you,” my murmur is full of regret.

“Enough by taking good care of my sister Purnama. And congratulations, I heard from Randy that Purnama is pregnant with your son.”

I'm stunned. I stared into Edgar's eyes. It was as if a boulder had hit me, waking me up instantly. Jesus, Purnama ... Why he was forgotten by me. Now, I really felt guilty for her when I found out from Edgar that Randy was just a close friend of Purnama's. Randy is assigned by Edgar and Mommy to guard the Full Moon from Jeremy's crimes.

Yeah, God. Curse myself. I cursed myself. Three days ago I locked my wife in an apartment alone.

I hurried to my feet, running away from Edgar's room. Ignoring the screams of Edgar, even Mommy, Daddy and Randy I just passed by. Right now I want to quickly get to the apartment and embrace my wife's thin body into my arms.

I'm sorry, Baby, hang in there. Wait me.

“Purnama.”

I called my wife as she ran to the guest room located on the second floor - where Purnama slept. Exhaling, calmed my racing heart before opening the room door. There was no light in the room, only the dim light from the moon peering at the window when I opened the door. I frowned at a glance looking around the room, Purnama is not here. Where's she?

“Baby.” Back I called my beloved name to Purnama. Still no answer. Maybe in the bathroom? I immediately ran there. However, empty.

“Baby, Full.” I started to scream by raising the volume of my voice. Still no answer.

Where are you, Purnama? Maybe in the kitchen? I went down the stairs in a hurry to the kitchen. My wife wasn't there either. Where's she?

I sat at the pantry table, shuffling my hair in frustration. Upset at me. Why am I so stupid.

“Baby, where are you going? Hope you are well.” I whispered while looking at the end of my shoes.

Did he escape?

But it doesn't feel possible. He can't run because the door of this apartment is the original key and the duplicate I hold, even my own room door I lock.

“You're stupid, El.” I screamed, back to cursing myself.

With a giant step towards my room. Tired and tired as I feel right now. I haven't had a shower all day, even my looks are so bad. My hair was disheveled and my shirt was tangled, even my face was covered with bruises from a fight with Jeremy, and worse my arm was shot.

I sat there staring at the dark floor of the room, accidentally not turning on the light. Throwing a short breath, slowly slumped my body onto the king-size bed. Closing my eyes trying to sleep, trying to think clearly, where the full moon went.

Kuraba pocket my black basic pants when my smartphone vibrates. Pinched both of my eyebrows upwards, confused. The unknown name. Did Purnama call? I just shifted the answer button.

“Hallo, Elias.”

This voice .. I grit my teeth. I want to kill the owner of this voice. “How dare you call, Jeremy!” I beat it with a high volume of sound.

Jeremy chuckles across there. “Ow, something's going berserk. But first listen to this first--”

Carefully I heard a voice across the phone, a rustling sound then a voice ... A full-fledged?

Elias? El--what are you there?

I was silent when I heard the weak voice of Purnama, it was his voice from a distance. How dare Jeremy kidnap Purnama as bait. I growled even more and I gripped my smartphone tightly.

“Don't fuck around, Jeremy. Restore Purnama. What do you want, ha! You want money? Treasure?” ask me to urge him, whatever I will grant, but do not hurt Purnama.

“Hahaha, treasure? If that's not what I need. I just want your life and Edgar.”

Shits. Fuck you, Jeremy. I grind my teeth, it feels like my anger has so high, my hands itch to kill him.

I laughed and attacked back. “My life? Is it so hard for you to take my life, hum? It took me thirteen years to take my life.”

“You---“

“Why!? You want to hurt Purnama?” my guess. “Don't you know that all this time I've been hurting him. So, well.do it. I don't care about him,” I said coldly.

I'm sorry, Purnama. I think you heard it .. But, believe me. It's for your own good. Right now I'm trying to find a way out to save you.

“Didn't you want to take my life, Jeremy? Well, if you kill or hurt Purnama it's useless. So, to kill me you better give me an address for us to negotiate, the sooner you better kill me.” I gave Jeremy an urgent choice, the sooner his location was found the better for the safety of Purnama and the baby he contained.

Jeremy chuckles. “I agree. Then wait for my next phone call.”

God fucking. Why is it turned off.

“May you be well, Purnama,” murmured me while glaring upwards. I remember for two years my harsh treatment of her. I closed my eyes with my arms, slowly the tears flowing warmly in the corners of my eyes.

Purnama, I'm sorry ...

I don't think there's enough apology for my mistakes with him. Kuraba returned my smartphone in bed. I can't just shut up like this, Purnama's still in danger.

“Luhan, try to trace the location of the number I sent later,” I said unceremoniously to Luhan, a private detective in Beijing.

“Try to send,” said.

After I turned off the phone, I sent Jeremy's old number and the one just now. I can't expect much from the address on this phone number either. Jeremy is not a fool, as is known – Jeremy is very sneaky. Just in case, I also sent you some photos as well as the address of Jeremy's apartment. I don't want half a half in investigating the case, let alone this concerning Purnama's life and the baby in her stomach.

For a moment I breathed fresh air to fill my lungs, giving room to breathe which seemed more and more congested. My smartphone is ringing.

Who else?

Lazily I saw the screen of the smartphone flickering. Mommy's? Means from the hospital. Don't-don't ....

Without thinking any longer, I immediately shifted the answer button. “Ya--”

“Elias, come quickly. Edgar ..”
