Kei And Layla

Chapter 71: The promise of a promise

Slowly Layla opened her eyes, she stared around the room looking for Kei, but all she saw was Rico sitting on the sofa watching her.

"Rome..."

Rico got up and stood up, he immediately approached Layla and sat down on the edge of the bed.

"Do you need anything?" ask Rico.

Layla got up and sat on the bed, "where's Kei?" ask Layla.

Rico turned his face to the side, then looked back at Layla, "Kei's home, he's got Layla's family" Rico said.

"Yes, I know," replied Layla bowing her head.

"I know it's hard, but realize he's a family" Rico said. "You're torturing yourself, and that's not the love of his name!" Rico raised his tone.

"Why Rico?" ask Layla. "Aren't you the only doctor who took care of me? then why are you interfering in my personal matters?" ask Layla again. Layla was astonished by all of Rico's attitude and speech.

"Obviously I'm going to interfere with all your personal affairs from now on Layla!" Rico stood up and turned his body to the door.

"Any.." murmured Layla. "Rico wait!" exclamation Layla.

Rico halted his steps, he turned his head towards Layla.

"I'm just in my room, I'm out of my room" Layla said. "I'm hungry too."

Rico walked up to Layla again, lifted Layla's body and carried her to the bathroom.

"What are you doing?" ask Layla confused.

"You clean your body first, you eat." Rico put Layla on top of a large bathtub.

"Cold Rico.." lamented Layla.

Rico did not care about Layla's complaint, he gently cleaned Layla's face. Don't forget he gave her toothpaste and toothbrush.

"Clean your teeth, let there be no germs" Rico said.

Layla slowly picked up her toothpaste and brush, with a puzzled look at Rico.

"Why?" ask Rico.

Layla shook her head, "nothing."

"Quick brush your teeth, and clean your body" said Rico, standing up. "I'll wait for you outside the room, when you're done call me." Rico turns around and leaves Layla in the bathroom.

Layla nodded her head, staring at Rico's back and missing from behind the door.

"Soddy, sometimes good sometimes rough," Layla murmured.

Soon Layla was done, he called Rico, but Mbok Darmi entered. Then Mbok Darmi started cleaning Layla's body with a towel.

"Before, Mbok calls Den Rico first." Mbom Darmi stepped out of the bathroom.

Shortly Rico goes into the bathroom and lifts Layla's body using only a towel.

"Seger right?" ask Rico.

Layla nodded her head, she was silent as Rico began to hold her body and put Layla on the bed.

"Now put on your clothes." Rico asks Mbok Darmi to get Layla dressed, while he waits outside the door. Soon Mbok Darmi calls Rico to take Layla out of the room.

"You're beautiful, you're still pretty like Layla's birthday" Rico said, holding Layla out of the room, this time not letting Layla sit in her wheelchair.

Who's Rico?

***

"Rico is a Doctor, but his attitude and speech are very strange," muttered Kei, he sat daydreaming on the balcony thinking about everything that happened this afternoon.

"He seemed to know Layla very well and his attitude was like a lover to Layla."

Kei feels something is wrong with Doctor Rico, Rico who just entered Layla's life. But Rico seems like a part of Layla's life.

"No, I won't let Rico take his attention away from me" Kei said softly.

Kei did not realize that Clara had stood behind him and listened to all of Kei's words.

Clara laughed behind Kei, leaving Kei shocked. Kei looked back and saw Clara laughing at him.

"What's so funny?" Kei stood looking at Clara.

Clara stops her speech, knowing Kei is stressed thinking about Layla and Rico. Clara begins to launch the action to get a chance with Kei, the thing Clara craves throughout her marriage to Kei, Kei never touches Clara in the slightest.

"What are you carrying behind you?" kei asked, looking at Clara's hand holding a glass of fresh drink that had been mixed with medicine.

"Key," said Clara softly. "I know you're confused thinking about Layla, I also know that I've been wrong to separate you from Layla."

"You're not kidding, are you?" ask Kei.

Clara shook her head, "no Kei..."

"I'm glad you're aware of your position" Kei replied.

Kei's answer deeply pierced Clara's heart, but Clara tried to hide it, not wanting her failed attempt to separate Kei and Layla in her way.

"As my apology, I made you a fresh drink of your favorite lychee taste."

Clara gave Kei a fresh drink, Kei was silent for a moment staring at the drink, then he turned to look at Clara who was smiling at him.

"Alright.." said Kei.

Kei took the drink, and wiped it out.

"Thank you." Kei returned the glass to Clara, then sat down on the chair again.

Clara smiled at Kei. He walked to the table and put the glass on the table. Clara waits for her medicine to react and she climbs onto Kei's bed.

Seconds passed, minutes changed. Clara started to see Kei's reaction. Kei looked agitated and rubbed his face many times. Clara smiled as she saw Kei getting more agitated.

"Come here Kei..."

Kei walked closer to Clara, he immediately climbed onto the bed and kissed Clara's lips passionately. Clara did not want to waste the battle, she immediately returned Kei's hot kiss.

Kei Me's entire private room was a silent witness. That night the pent-up desire that Clara longed for finally came true. For the second time Kei betrayed his sacred love and promise to Layla.

Thirty minutes passed, Clara finally reached the peak of her satisfaction, she lay limp beside Kei who was fast asleep, Clara pulled the blanket and left their bodies without wearing a thread. Clara fell asleep next to Kei until the morning.

Kei opened his eyes slowly, he rubbed his eyes and held his painful head. He got up and sat on the bed. He found Clara sleeping beside him. Kei rubbed his face and leaned his body on the pillow.

"Layla, I'm sorry.forgive me."

Kei clutched his hair for a moment, then he hit himself on the head, "Stupid, stupid" he said. "Why am I so stupid to fall into this woman's trap!" Kei cursed himself. He asked himself, does he deserve to be loved by Layla? is it his love for Layla?"

Kei gets out of bed, he rushes to the bathroom to clean up, after which he intends to meet Layla.
