Kei And Layla

Chapter 61: the temple

Raiden's done all the work, he wants to hurry to the hospital to see Layla.

"Yahoo!!" greet Sila from the direction of Raiden's office door, smiling at him while carrying a plastic bag in his hand.

"Ah, you again, you again" said Raiden glanced at him for a moment.

Please walk up to Raiden while putting a plastic bag on the table.

"I brought you food." Please sit on the chair.

"I'm not hungry" answered Raiden flatly.

Please come out of his seat and stand up. He took out the food box from the plastic bag.

"You must eat, so as not to get sick. Don't you have to look after Layla."

Raiden turned his head to look at Sila, he frowned.

"You're sane, right?" ask Raiden.

Please raise his two eyebrows looking at Raiden.

"Of course" said Sila.

Raiden watched Sila open the food box and thrust it in front of him.

"Eat."

"No." Raiden shifted the food in front of Sila.

Please snort angrily, then he walked up to Raiden.

"Want me a bribe?" ask Sila.

Raiden knitted his two brows staring at Sila.

"Freak girl."

Please laugh a little at Raiden, he really liked when Raiden called her a 'strange girl'.

"Come on thenaaan."

Please take a spoon and force Raiden to eat. At first Raiden refused, but the persistence of Sila who continued to force finally he wanted to be bribed by Sila.

"Well, that's dong" said Sila. "You're going to the hospital, aren't you?" Smiling, look at Raiden.

Raiden just silently looked at Sila while chewing the fried rice in her mouth.

"When we're done eating, we go to the same hospital."

Raiden rubbed his lips with a tissue.

"Why do you care about Layla?" ask Raiden.

Please look up at the sky of the room as if thinking, then turn his gaze again at Raiden.

"She's a tough woman who inspires" said Sila. "From his battle with cancer until his struggle persists with the sacred love he has."

Raiden breathed deeply. For a moment he was silent listening to Sila's words. Maybe right, it's time for Raiden to take Layla back to Kei. It was the only one so he could survive, Raiden thought.

"Don't talk mute, let's not come?!?

Raiden pressed Sila's forehead with his finger.

" Yes, I'm coming!" sila exclaimed his forehead then stood up and followed Raiden's footsteps from behind.

"What do you think if you love a man who loves another woman?" ask Raiden in between his steps.

"I am easy, life does not need to be complicated" replied Sila.

"What?" ask Raiden.

"For what, I keep on holding on if in the end the man can't be had, letting go with the woman he loves will make the burden on the heart less."

"Is that?" Raiden looked at Sila, he doubted with Sila's reply.

"Yes" said Sila.

Slowly but surely, every effort has results. So too with Sila. The beginning of the meeting was not heartbreaking. But long ago Raiden began to get used to the attitude of Sila who always forced his will. And Raiden doesn't mind if wherever he goes, please always stalk him. Little by little, Raiden began to have sympathy for Sila.

***

Ten days passed, Layla's condition had started to stabilize. Layla was transferred to a regular hospital room even though she was still in a coma.

Every day Kei is by Layla's side and never leaves her. He even used his lawyer to take care of his divorce papers with Clara.

The complicated and difficult divorce process made Lawyer Kei take a little longer. Although in the end the divorce lawsuit from Kei's side has been approved.

"Oh..wake up.."

Kei opened his eyes, he heard someone calling him. He lifted his face and looked at Layla's face that was smiling faintly at him. Kei immediately got up and gently touched Layla's cheek.

"Layla.you're awake, baby ." Kei's eyes sparkled.

Kei immediately pressed the button to call the Doctor or Sister.

"Kei. I'm thirsty" Layla said hoarsely.

"A little while" Kei replied.

Kei took mineral water on the table with a straw and gave it to Layla.

"Thank you."

"What's wrong?" greet Dr. Kenzi from the door with Sister.

"Layla's already conscious Doc." Kei looked at Doctor Kenzi.

"You wait outside" said Dr. Kenzis.

"But Doc?"

"Sorry, as good as waiting outside."

Kei stood in front of the door of the room in great dismay.

"Why are you standing here?" greet Raiden.

Kei turned his head to look at Raiden and Sila who were already standing behind him.

"Layla is conscious" Kei explained.

"Conscious?" said Raiden. "Thank God."

"Then why are you standing here?" ask Sila.

Kei looked at Sila, "i was asked to wait outside."

Please nod your head. Kei, Sila and Raiden were waiting at the door feeling please be anxious.

Shortly thereafter Dr. Kenzi opened the door of the room, "Layla is conscious, you can go see her."

"really?" ask Raiden.

Dr. Kenzi nodded his head, "yes."

Kei, Sila and Raiden go straight into the room, while Dr. Kenzi and Sister leave Layla's room.

"Layla.honeyang.." Kei immediately sat on the chair and grabbed Layla's hand.

"Hi Layla!" exclaim Please smile.

"Hey..Please" Layla replied softly.

"Are you better?" tanya Raiden sat on the chair, her hands outstretched grasping Layla's hands, making Sila who had a sense of Raiden a little jealousy.

"I've done better Rai." said Layla slowly.

As they were talking, Clara and Alya came in from the door to get closer to Kei.

"What the hell are you, son?" Alya pulled Kei's arm to stand up, and showed the divorce papers in her hands.

"Kei, I don't want a divorce" said Clara, her voice hoarse, and her eyes were puffy. Clara cried last night not wanting to be divorced by Kei.

"That's my decision" Kei said, staring at Clara. "You must respect my decision."

"There will never be a divorce!" Alya tore up the divorce papers that Clara had not signed yet.

"Mother!" Kei tried to hold Alya's hand against tearing it, but Kei's efforts were in vain.

"Father!

Kei and the others turn to Keila, whom Abdul intentionally brings in to hold Kei back from divorcing Clara.

" Papa don't leave us," Keila cried hugging Kei. "Don't leave Keila pa!"

"Keila's..Papa," Kei did not continue his words.

"Now you must go home!" Alya pulled Kei and Keila's arms.

"No ma'am," said Kei. "Please, this once, let me decide my own way of life."

"Papa, let's go home Pa," whined Keila.

"Keila, Papa-?"

Raiden who had been silent at last spoke up, "Kei, you better go home and get your business done" said Raiden. "Let Layla rest."

Kei looked at Raiden for a moment, then turned to look at Layla.

"Go home Kei" Layla said slowly.

"Come on Pa, go home Pa!" keila pulled Kei's hand.

For the umpteenth time, Kei's hopes of being with Layla must be buried deep, a situation Kei finds difficult to make a choice his biggest obstacle to being with Layla. Slowly Kei stepped his feet following Keila's wishes.

"Layal.." said Kei slowly, he looked at Layla between his steps and disappeared behind the door.

Layla took a deep breath, her eyes glazed over. He understood the situation Kei was in, "i love you Kei, I love you" Layla sobbed.

"Layla, there's still me here. Don't be sad" said Raiden, picking up a tissue on the table, and then a tear on Layla's cheek.

"I know Rai, thank you," Layla glanced at Raiden for a moment, then she grabbed a tissue in Raiden's hand and she had her own tears, as Layla looked at her eyes, he saw jealousy in Sila's eyes. Layla does not want to aggravate her life situation that is already on the verge of.

"Rai, I'm hungry" said Sila pulling Raiden's arm.

Raiden turned his head towards Sila, "can't, you hold it first" Raiden said resentfully. "You saw for yourself, didn't you? Layla no one's accompanying?"

"But Rai, my stomach can recur if you eat late." Please give a reason to keep Raiden away from Layla.

"You can eat by yourself, right?" ask Raiden.

"Switch.uh..." Please hold his stomach that does not hurt.

"You why?" Raiden got up and held Sila's shoulder.

"My stomach hurts, please take me home," whined Sila.

"But-?"

"Ohhhhh!" Please keep pretending.

"Rai, you better take her home" Layla said, grabbing Raiden's hand.

"But Layla..." Raiden did not continue his words.

Layla nods her head, "let's get to the Precepts."

"All right," said Raiden. "Let me take you home."

"Yes, thank you." Silent Eyes sparkling.

"Layla, I'll come back here again."

Layla nodded her head. He smiled at Raiden and Sila's back until it disappeared from view.
