KEEPING SECRETS (CAN YOU?)

Eps. 69 Depression

“Of course not!” Bram answered quickly and loudly.

“No will! That's ridiculous brother!” Nabila almost coincided with Bram's speech.

“Good.” Josephira replied calmly. “Bram, you humiliated me a few nights ago!” She turned to her husband and stared very hard. “And you promise to comply with my wishes, whatever makes sense. This is my wish from the bottom of my heart.”

“No, no, just call another one!” Bram shakes his wife's body.

“Stop your brother hurting brother Jose!” Bentak Nabila's.

Bram immediately complied and bowed his head while saying, “Please love don't ask me to complain about you. Please. I can't see you getting hurt later.”

Josephira just flinching. He then turned his eyes to Nabila.

“And you are my lovely dear sister. Do you love your sister?”

“Of course brother! I love you so much, brother. That's why I don't want to be Bram's second wife.”

“I want to always be near you, even since before you know me. I don't know what the cause is, I already like you a lot and until now I really like you and want to always be near you.” Josephira stopped for a while. Then continue the sentence, “When I was in the hospital, you called me the queen mother and will fulfill my request. Now I want you to marry my husband, and be a part of our family.  Please, fulfill my request.”

“Ti, no sis. I can't.” Answer Nabila weakly while shaking her head.

“Alright, because Bram has insulted me and does not want to divorce me, and also because you people I love do not want to obey me. Let me die right now.” Josephira said coldly as she placed the dagger she had been holding on her own neck.

“Kak! What are you doing?” Shouted Nabila. He was so panicked, the dagger was so sharp. Josephira's neck was already spitting out fresh blood.  “Kak Bram quickly prevent kak Jose!”

Bram who saw it intended to snatch the dagger from Josephira's hand. But after seeing the blood coming out of Josephira's neck he undoes his intentions. Bram can only beg, “Darling, stop this madness. Please dear. I love you so much. I don't want to lose you or cheat on you.”

Josephira remained silent, and closed his eyes. From the corner of his eyes rolled a circle of tears.

“Let me die in front of you.” Lirih.

More and more blood poured down Josephira's shoulders and swimsuit.

“Stop brother, stop..” Pinta Nabila while crying could not bear to see the blood coming out.

“Josephira! Stop madness!” Snap Bram.

Josephira immediately looked at her husband with a sharp eye.

“I'm not crazy Bram! I really want this!”

“Sir Josephira, what's wrong with you? Why don't you think about my feelings and demand that I marry your husband?” Now Nabila instead said loudly while crying to Josephira. “When are you asking for my feelings? When brother? When's? What does it mean to me in your heart, brother? Am I just a little kid can you always dictate?”

“Not Nab, not so.” Tukas Josephira fast. “Pardon this selfishness of mine, forgive this brother of yours.”

Josephira's tears began to flow profusely, for some reason he was so adamant with his desire to marry Bram to Nabila that he was willing to hurt himself.

“I, I, am willing to share my husband with you Nab. Really am! And now that I'm begging you, I'm proposing to you to be a wife to my husband Bram.”

“You are crazy brother!”

Josephira did not answer. He tried to gather his strength, his hands trembled until the wounds on his neck were getting torn apart and more and more blood was coming out. Josephira's face turned pale, losing a lot of blood.

“Certain why brother? I'm willing to do this for you. I'm your best friend, I'm your sister. I'm not asking you to repay me with anything in the world. I just want to see my brother back to the way he used to be, even though he still sits in a wheelchair.”

“That's Nab. If you're willing to do everything for me, if you can be sincere with me, why can't I. Wouldn't sincerity be very valuable if we gave the best we have. I have a Bram that I love so much and honestly I don't want to share it with any woman in the world. But now I'm not able to make him happy like before, because I'm ashamed and afraid to be out there with my situation now.”

Clunting! (sound of a knife falling on the floor)

Josephira fainted from too much blood coming out from the cut on her neck.

“Kak Bram quickly get the tissue!” Nabila's Order.

Bram immediately picked up a tissue and handed it to Nabila.

“I'll take him to the hospital now.” Without thinking, Bram immediately carried the body of Josephira.

“Kak!” Call Nabila unheeded Bram.

‘You, Brother Bram's. You and brother Jose are just wearing swimsuits. Brother Bram bucin is so happy!’ Nabila grouse while taking a bathrobe to wear and then ran after.

“You hold him Nab.” Bram orders after putting his wife in the backseat.

Nabila came in and sat next to the drooping Josephira. The cover of Josephira's body with a bathrobe that he had brought earlier, also pressed the cut on Josephira's neck so that the blood did not come out too hard.

“Kak, wear this too. You only wear boxer.” Said Nabila while handing one bathrobe to Bram.

Bram just patted his forehead, then accepted not to wear it directly. He immediately started his car engine and drove straight to the hospital. On the way he immediately called Eka's doctor and asked him to standby to prepare to handle his wife.

Now Josephira has been treated by Eka's doctor and medical team. Bram and Josephira waited quietly, as Eka's doctor had said nothing harmed Josephira except for her depression.

“Nab..” Call Bram soft on Nabila who sits in a long iron chair.

Nabila turned to look at Bram who was sitting not far from him. “Iya Brother Bram.”

“What should we do? Ah no, rather what should I do?”

“Entah brother, I don't know either. Until now I did not expect brother Jose will experience severe depression.”

“True. I really didn't expect either. Even though I know this disaster is really hard for us. Especially for Josephira.”

Doctor Eka came out of his room. Bram and Nabila approached immediately.

“Your wife's condition has improved. Lucky the blood stock your wife needs is plentiful. So you just calm down. Now your wife is sleeping because of the sedative effect we gave her.”

“Thank you Ka.” Answer Bram.

“Oh yes, it looks like your wife is indeed in a state of depression due to the disaster faced. As much as you can comfort her, strengthen her heart and please her. Because it's one of the elixirs of people who are depressed.” Advice from doctor Eka.

“Iya Ka, I will do everything so that Josephira is not depressed anymore.”
