I'M Sorry To Hurt You [Last]

TWENTY EIGHT

I held Purnama's hand tightly as we stopped right in front of the door. Purnama was shocked when I took her to the hospital.

“Actually, there's someone I want to meet you with, sweetheart,” I said.

“Who?” Flaming Full Eyes stared at my two elbow eyes, his enlarged pupils emitting a high sense of curiosity. I smiled without answering her question. I'll open the door to the inhouse.

“Elias, finally you came also—eh, Purnama follow.” Mommy's shrill voice greeted with her cheerful spirit as it greeted us. Mommy approached us, more precisely approached my wife, while I was immediately removed by Mommy. I clucked violently while shifting my body and glared at Mommy who was hugging tightly Purnama.

“How are you, Darling.” I heard Mommy's voice tremble a little while releasing her embrace from Purnama. Continuing to watch the two of them, Mommy patted the head of Purnama in a gentle gesture.

“Slightly better, Mom,” replied Purnama awkwardly.

Mommy took a short breath. “Pardon Mommy yes, haven't had time to visit you when you were treated.”

Yep. Because Mommy took care of Edgar who was also treated at the same hospital as Purnama. As Mommy and Purnama spoke, I turned my gaze toward the bed. There's Randy and Daddy standing in Edgar's way. It seems Edgar was sleeping, because he did not react when Mommy shouted his sister's name earlier.

“Randy with Daddy also here?” The full sound distracted me again.

“Yup.” I'm nodding. Before Daddy and Randy say hello to Purnama first. I immediately pulled his hand and led him to the bed.

“Beyond you, my wife wants to meet her.” I said with a flick of my hand. Both clucking.

“Elias,” call Edgar from behind Daddy and Randy. Screaming the reaction of Full Moon when Edgar's voice was heard. His eyes were puffed with his mouth. Sontak let go of my hand. But still flinching where he stood.

“Kak Ed,” call him in a raucous voice.

“Purnama, come here,” reply Edgar with his weak voice. Randy and Daddy were out.

“Kak Ed ..” Full moon ran over Edgar's arms as my sister-in-law spread out her hands.

“I miss you, brother Ed, huks,” cries Full Moon broke out while already in Edgar's arms.

“Kakak too. Shhh! Don't cry.” Edgar patted Purnama's back.

“Huks, Brother Ed.”

I turned my head up, driving away the rush of tears that were rushing to get out. Exhaling into the air when the tightness and haru in the chest filled me. Eventually, I was able to find Purnama and Edgar alive, unlike in my dreams of that time. I let out a sigh of relief.

“Why can Big Brother be treated here?”

All were silent and holding their breath, as if this room was airtight, unable to breathe oxygen. All eyes were on Edgar, including me. Curious. What he will tell Purnama, be honest or cover up his illness.

“Second pain only.”

I take a deep breath. True allegations. Edgar kept his illness hidden from Purnama. I looked at all the faces in this room, looked at Edgar with a faint and concerned look, regretting his attitude.

***

“Elias? You why?” call Purnama sounded anxious, worrying me as I hugged her body possessively from behind. Looks like she read from my unsettled gait after we got home from the hospital.

Edgar told me to take Purnama back to the apartment. At first, my wife insisted on staying by Edgar's side, wanting to stay longer with him. But Edgar forbade her, because she was pregnant again. Edgar was afraid Purnama was exposed to the virus in this hospital to endanger his health which was still sick.

I let out a short sigh, my gaze falling down staring back and forth at a passing vehicle or a human on foot. I lowered my head against his neck, occasionally my lips landed on his smooth white shoulder as my nose sipped the scent of vanilla on his body.

“I'm confused now,” I answered ambiguously in response to Purnama's worried remark earlier.

The full moon, looking me in the eyes. He frowned. “Bingung, why?”

“Do you think I should be honest even if it's a painful reality, Purnama?” ask her for her opinion. Kuelus frowns on his forehead until it returns to how it was.

Purnama was silent for a moment. “En-thumb. I don't know either. I think it should be honest that it's about life.”

I just muttered while stroking his distended stomach.

“I mean .. if the person is seriously ill or is in danger.” Purnama quickly corrected his words, afraid that I would not understand. Of course I understand. It's just .. I'm afraid he'll be in shock and hate me this time when I'm telling the truth.

“Sayang.” My bass voice started to rise as high as when it started to position itself to really say seriously. I turned the body over, until we faced each other. The full moon is silent. Waiting for the continuation of my words.

“Actually, Edgar has end-stage lupus.”

Purnama was silent and did not react.

“Sayang?” call me. I'm sure he's between believing and not hearing what I just said.

“You must be lying right, El,” he almost drowned his voice, his body began to tremble violently. I tightly embraced him. Both my eyeballs were moving agitatedly upwards. I didn't answer his words.

“True, El” calls him with a vibrating voice.

I closed my eyes for a moment and opened them again. “I didn't lie. Edgar has end-stage lupus.”

Long silence filled the blemish between the two of us. Purnama let go of her embrace, looking at me with nanar as her clear liquid began to fall on her beautiful eye patch.

“This must be a joke. You just want to hurt me again, don't you,” deny.

I didn't answer anything. I looked into her eyes, pain rippling in my heart seeing her cry like this.

“This must be a lie, El. Yeah, I must have. Have you not been vengeful for my brother. It must be your wits to separate us back. Aye. Answer me, Elias! Answer.” Full moon crying sobbing. I gripped my shirt firmly. He did not accept my words.

I gulped with difficulty. I tried to shake my head, denying it, even though it felt like my head was hard to give.

“I'm not lying, Purnama. That's exactly what happened to Edgar. If you don't believe me, I have a certificate from the doctor about his illness,” I explained very slowly and hoarsely, trying to convince him.

The full moon released its grip. He took a step back. His forehead shriveled while holding his stomach. I think, because my wife was in shock, the baby in her stomach reacted. I forgot the fact that she was also pregnant and had a weak body condition. Holy hooch! What I've done. Edgar would blame me.

“No! There's no way Ed-”'s sister

“Yes God, Full Moon.”

***

I sat on the sofa looking worriedly at my wife. Doker Zhou's now. Purnama fainted after I told her the truth about Edgar's illness.

“How, Doc?” ask me to stand up immediately after Dr. Zhou finished examining my wife

“He is fine. Just too shocked. But I don't know his feelings. The baby in the womb reacts like that because of the depressed feeling of his mother. Until his stomach was damaged. But overall it's okay, the baby is also very healthy,” explained doctor Zhou sage. His testimony relieved my heart a little. Thank goodness everything was fine, nothing happened with her content or herself.

Doctor Zhou patted my shoulder briefly, then moved out of the room. Stay in the room there's only me and Purnama. Long I stared at the pale face of Purnama who was still fainting. I turned my eyes away by looking down at the floor. Without realizing my tears were coming out on their own. After Purnama wakes up from his stupor later. I'm sure he'll hate me.

Kuraba pockets my jeans when my phone vibrates. Viewing caller ID. My Bryan-assistant who was in New York, whom I entrusted to my company management at this time during my time in Beijing-who called out to me. Bryan is also my best friend.

“Why, Bry?” ask me with a hoarse voice that I can no longer hide.

“Wire, El. Our corporate finance in New York is being failed. It was all Jeremy. He transferred all company funds to his personal account.”

I'm speechless. Even Bryan's phone line was cut off unknowingly by me. I sat on the floor staring at the walls of the hospital. What other trials are these? Jeremy is back. Now I can't think clearly anymore, my company is broken and now I have to face my wife who somehow when she wakes up.

I was still fixated even when Purnama started to realize he didn't know. It was only when he heard his hysterical roar again hit my world. I approached her and tried to hold her body which forced her to stand up. Roughly the Full Moon brushed my hand. He looked at me with hatred.

“Do not touch me!”

I just kept silent. Clenching my hand, couldn't do much when I saw her crying out in tears. He sat on the floor with his hand tightly holding the bed sheet of the hospital bed.

“Sir Edgar, huks ..”

I looked down at the floor listening to her cries. I even shed tears. I slowly approached my wife who kept pulling the bedsheet. I hold shoulder. He brushed off my hand.

“Keep your dirty hands. I won't let you touch.”

I'm speechless.

“Why do you do this. Now you're satisfied, Elias. Your goal has been achieved. My brother is in your hands and now he's dying.”

The full moon hit my chest with all my might. I just kept quiet not fighting. I let him vent all his anger. The pain of the punch is nothing with the pain when knowing the condition of Edgar. Yeah, because I've been in her position like this, too. Ever lost a loved one.

“Sorry--”

Plaque!

My left and right cheeks were slapped alternately by Purnama.

“Sorry you said, Elias? It's easy for you to apologize after my brother is so sick. You can make me suffer, whatever I accept. But not with my brother. Try to give it back to how it used to be, then I forgive.”

Back Full moon hit my chest. My heart ached, and it even felt as if ten thousand little needles were piercing my heart, very painful. How can I grant Purnama's request to return her brother's condition as before. A difficult request for me to make at any time. Only God has the right to change everything. I am not just an ordinary man.

“Elias, I hate you so much. I don't want to see you again, go you! Go!”

Purnama roared hysterically, unceasingly hitting my chest, even trying to push my body away from him. My body is like a lifeless statue, only able to stay in place, not moving an inch.

“Furnight, Elias!”

Randy suddenly came in. Approaching us - more precisely approaching Purnama.

“Elias! What did you do to Purnama, ha!” randy snapped on the sidelines helping Purnama stand up. “Pur-”

The full moon pushed Randy's body away, until Randy was pushed slightly back, making his grip on the Fuller's body detach. The full moon almost fell. I immediately embraced him. Restraining body. My hands are tight on his waist. My position is kneeling and Purnama is standing. My face was directly facing her distended stomach. The full moon is getting more and more thrashed in my arms. He hit me hard on my back and grabbed my hair.

“Let go of me,” she cried on the sidelines of her stuffing. He tried to release my body that was still tightly attached to his body. I shook my head, even now my eyes are closed touching his stomach.

“I'm sorry, Full Moon. Sorry,” lirihku keep apologizing.

“I can't forgive you. I hate you!”

Only the sound of the Full Moon punch on my body, as well as the sound of its stuffing filled the hospital room. He continued to vent all his resentment and hatred on me. My hands did not wobble on his waist and grew stronger. Letting him keep beating me until he's satisfied.

“Enough, Full. Your hands will hurt if you keep hitting this heartless man.” Randy interrupted us and came back to us. Gradually Purnama slowed down his punch, then completely stopped his punch, however, his tears were still rushing.

“But, Dy. Brother Ed is very sick, huhuhu,” isak Full Moon glares at Randy. Back my heart throbbed to hear the rumble of the Full. Unknowingly the grip of my hand on his waist started to loosen.

Randy glares. “This bastard! Let me teach him a lesson.”

Randy violently pulled my body which easily slipped from the waist of Full.

“Suster, sister-” Randy kept shouting for the sisters, on the sidelines dragging my body which just flinch not against.

“Please take care of her,” she continued when a nurse came in. The nurse was surprised to close her mouth when she saw me being dragged by Randy out of the room resignedly. My eyes glared at Purnama who was still crying bitterly; sitting on the bed as the nurse helped her lie down.

Randy kicked my weak body lying on the cold floor when it was outside the room.  The situation outside the room is quiet. I felt my whole world spinning. I can't stand Randy anymore. I let him kick my body with satisfaction.

“Uhuk ... uhuk ..” I coughed with blood coming out of my mouth because Randy was too strong to kick my chest. I floundered while Randy was still kicking me.

“This is your reply for how dare to make a Full Moon like this,” maki Randy vent his anger. My eyes started to twitch when I saw Randy's face above me. I kept rolling around and around withstanding the pain in my body and heart simultaneously. Ah ... This is the reply I must receive for hurting my wife all this time.

“Randy, what are you doing. Jesus, Elias!”

Samar I heard Mommy's voice squealing, and then my vision blurred. I heard the footsteps of Mommy's shoes coming towards me. Then it's all dark, I don't know anymore.
