I'M Sorry To Hurt You [Last]

THIRTY NINE

Long silence greeted both of us while in the car. My eyes focused on the front, driving a car through the streets of Beijing to the elite apartment area, where I now live. Both me and Purnama have not opened the conversation since. Especially myself, confused about where to start. Edgar, looking back at the passengers, had fallen asleep.

I stopped the car right in the parking lot of a restaurant serving Japanese cuisine. Take my wife to eat. From Randy's explanation, he hasn't eaten at all. I opened my seat belt and glanced at my wife, she frowned.

“We eat first.” I said to answer what he had in mind.

Purnama raised one eyebrow. Folded his hands together on his chest, and turned his face to the window. “I don't want to eat here,”. I took a long breath. Tapping my fingers to the steering wheel. “After all, Brother Edgar is still sleeping, pity when awakened.” he continued.

“Continue eating where?” I softened my eyes at her pouting face from the reflection of the window glass. Then turn to look back. Edgar was still asleep, undisturbed when the car stopped.

“Um...eat in apartment only.”

“Good. I order the food first.” I grabbed my phone in my jeans pocket

“Wait..” Purnama held my hand when she wanted to dial the destination number of the restaurant she wanted to order. We were both silent for a moment. I watched her hand touch me. Sontak Purnama let go of his grasp.

“Do not order. I want you to cook,” she said without seeing me at all. Her face flushed. I just chuckle at him.

“Stop.” Purnama prevented me when I brought her suitcase into the master room.

“I slept there,” he continued pointing to the guest room right next to the main room. Kulirik Edgar also stopped behind me. I took a deep breath. Put the suitcase next to me.

“Honey, your room is here,” I said pointing to the main room.

“No. That's your room. And all this time my room was there.”

I was silent for a moment. His words seemed to slap me. He had been sleeping there all along.

“But now it's different, dear. You sleep with me,” I said cleared my throat. A little embarrassed of Edgar. It is not a shame for us to sleep together, but a shame because all this time I and Purnama slept apart due to my own selfishness.

“Nothing is different. I stayed asleep there,” he said stubbornly.

“Honey, guest room will be occupied Edgar. If you sleep there, where will he sleep?” I looked at Edgar. Edgar nodded.

“So Edgar sleeps with you.”

“Sayang..”.

“The full moon, you slept with Elias. Let Brother occupy the guest room.” Edgar interrupted.

“No. I don't want to room with him.”

“Purnama.”

“Kakak. Me...me...”

I take a deep breath. Purnama did not continue his words. He looked down at the floor. “Alright, you can sleep in the guest room, honey. And I'm sorry, Ed. You should room with me.” I stared at Edgar with a clear look. I hope he understands.

Edgar nodded, then patted me on the shoulder. “Tak what. And you, Purnama. Don't be long angry with Elias huh, pity him.”

Purnama did not answer. Once again Edgar patted me on the shoulder. Dragging his suitcase into the main room.

“Rest. If you need something, call me,” I said as I put the suitcase next to the closet. Once again looking at the full face. He didn't make any sound. Kuhela took a long breath. Actually before I go I want to kiss his head. But I dare not do it. Afraid she'd reject me. And he ended up being so angry with me.

“Not yet,” replied Edgar in his hoarse voice. He opened his eyes. Staring at me walking towards him. Sit on his side.

“How are you doing, Ed?” ask again. A question I haven't asked yet when I was in Randy's apartment earlier on my way here.

“Pretty good from before. I still have to go to the hospital twice a week. But I am very grateful. No need to stay in the hospital anymore. Besides, it's all because of Purnama, he takes very good care of me. Then what about you?” Edgar asked back.

“Both well. My voice is recovering. Just a lot of rest.” I shrugged my shoulders. Pretend everything's okay. I don't want to burden Edgar with my condition.

“I'm sorry, Elias.”

I tilted my head at Edgar's words. “Why apologize to me? You have nothing wrong with me,” I said confusedly.

“I've been troubling you, El. As long as I'm hospitalized, you're the one who financed everything. All I know is that it all costs a lot. Moreover, I stayed more than three months, of course the cost was not a little spent. While you alone, for three months also fell into a coma in a New York hospital, not to mention the financial problems of your company that at that time also experienced constraints.”

I took Edgar's hand and held him. “It's nothing like what you've been through these two years, Ed. Not to mention my treatment of Purnama. I should've been here to apologize to you, Ed. I've been wrong too much on you guys. I'm sorry.”

“Pardon. And don't think about it.” Edgar smiled until it rubbed off on me. I smiled at hearing it. Although not really relieved. Yep. My wife is still mad at me.

“But, Ed. My responsibility to you is not done here. Promise me you'll be completely healthy again. Get the best treatment possible. Like you said, don't think about anything. Especially about cost. Your focus is only on your recovery. Okay,”.

Edgar sighed for a moment. “Stay only, El. I'm troubling you. When my health improved a little. I'll find a job.”

“Absolute work later only. I can find you a job. If you want, you can work for my company. High position I will give you, as long as you recover, Ed,” hope me by tightening our hands.

Edgar did not answer.

“Um..By the way do you have a girlfriend, Ed?” ask me to divert the question.

“For now do not have. Wh why? Do you want to find me a boyfriend?” He laughed. Makes the atmosphere melt again.

“If you want. I have acquaintances. What kind of girl do you want?” said seriously. It is possible that with the presence of a liver patch, making Edgar more motivated to recover.

Edgar waved his hand. “No need. I don't want to think about a serious relationship with any girl. I'm afraid they're disappointed to see my condition like this.”

“Not all girls will see from the side of your condition. You're good-looking anyway, Ed. Correctness. I didn't lie.”

“I know you're trying to cheer me up, El. I'm not as handsome as you.”

“Who said. If you want to see how handsome you are. Look at the full face. She's very pretty. You're his sibling, of course just as good,” I said honestly.

“My sister is beautiful. You're the klepek he made.”

I stroked my neck. Wrong attitude. That's absolutely true. The knocking at the door interrupted us both. I jumped out of bed. The beats are very different than usual. I'm afraid anything will happen to my wife. Especially being alone in the next room.

“Why, dear,” I said as the door of the room opened wide. My eyes immediately scanned the entire body of the filling.

Purnama glared at me. “You've cooked?”

Gosh darn. Patting my forehead. I forgot to cook dinner for him. He must be very hungry. I'm astounded. My glare was glaring at him; it was stroking his stomach.

“I'm sorry, Honey. I forgot.”

Purnama. “What you do. Aih, I'm hungry,” grunts.

“Please wait a minute, darling. I'm going to cook,” I said hurrying to go to the kitchen. Made him Japanese specialties - according to his request earlier. Before leaving, I had time to steal a kiss on his forehead. Of course I get the plotting and the hysterical screaming from him. He still rejects me. But it's nothing. At least my longing was a little channeled by kissing her forehead.
