Episode 19's

The ringing sound of cellphones disrupts Flo's sleep. He was seen groping the phone that was on the nightstand.

"Isshhh who the hell bothers gini nights. If it's not important, it's going to be tabok ni man cave!" Flo muttered with a very upset look on his face. Without looking at the caller Flo immediately shifted the green button on the phone screen with eyes still closed.

"Hello".He said with his hands rubbing his eyes.

"Hello Flo it's Alex's cave, where are you?"

"You, what's wrong! In apartment. What the hell's bothering these nights?."

"Sorry sorry, but the cave needs your help now."

Flo frowned," Help? Midnight gini?" ask in the heart.

"Help . Midnight gini what's the matter?"

"Ntar cave story. Mending you come to Axel's house first. It's a real emergency Flo." Hearing that Flo's eyes widened.

"OK, I'm there now."

"Waiting cave, thanks Flo."

Axel disconnected his phone. Flo immediately jumped from the bed into the bathroom. Wash your face, wear braids and hair.

He hurriedly exited the apartment, entering the elevator. After arriving at the ground floor Flo looking for a taxi. Lucky when he got to the side of the road there was a taxi passing by. Flo enters the taxi.

"Where are you going mba?" Ask the taxi driver.

"To housing Cempaka Indah sir." Flo replied quickly. Then immediately the taxi drove to the address that Flo said.

Twenty minutes later Flo had arrived in front of Axel's house. After paying for a taxi he hurriedly opened the fence and entered the house.

"Is Aunt Ambar not home?" Ask Flo inwardly. Suddenly Alex appears to open the door.

"Thank God Flo you came quickly." Alex said with relief.

"What's up Lex? Why is your face bruised." Flo is confused to see Alex's face is filled with bruises.

"We better get to Axel's room first ." Said Alex who then closed the door and walked up the stairs as if he was used to being in this house.

Arriving at Axel's room, Flo was shocked to see Axel's condition was very sad, clothes were messy, his face was filled with bruises and there was a little blood on the corner of his lips. Axel was sleeping helplessly.

Then Flo's eyes turned towards the sofa, there was Albert who looked similar to Axel but worse Axel.

"Loh, what's this about? How are you guys on a gini-rich bonyok?" Flo was very worried seeing their current state.

"So the three of us made an appointment at the club. Axel came first, he drank a lot and followed Albert who drank too. Up there the cave saw that Albert and Axel fought, hitting the same five people who did not know the cave. The cave does not know what the problem is. Those who are drunk will become battered gini. Plus the cave is also in the crackers because of their nolongin." Alex has a long story. And that makes Flo gape.

"Where is Ambar?" Ask Flo.

"That's Flo, the cave asks you to come here because Aunt Ambar is out of town again."  Flo shook his head and clucked.

"This is a child going wild." Flo muttered and set his gaze on Axel who was asleep on the bed.

"meaning?" Alex asked who did not clearly hear what Flo said earlier.

"Oh, no. It'sit's okay. How about now?" Ask back.

"Gua asked for your help to take care of Axel, because the wound must be very severe Flo. The cave wants to send Albert home first. This is my son asking to go home. You don't mind Flo? " Ask Alex and walked over to Albert's couch.

"It's okay Lex. I don't mind. You take Albert home." Flo.

"Thanks Flo's. That's a cave, huh." Alex said, then he turned Albert, half-conscious, to the exit.

After Alex and Albert left Flo walked into the kitchen. Take a cup of warm water, a small towel and a P3K box from the kitchen cabinet. And bring it all into Axel's room.

Arriving at Axel Flo's room put the luggage earlier on the nightstand. He washed the little towel and squeezed it. Then clean Axel's wound. Sometimes Axel grimaced but with eyes still closed. Flo painstakingly cleans Axel's wounds and drips a little antiseptic medicine on his wounds.

Flo saw the condition of Axel's clothes were random. He decided to replace his shirt with a shirt. After finishing Flo enveloped Axel to the chest.

Suddenly Axel's body shivered incoherently. The girl was surprised then she put her palm on top of her fiance's forehead.

"Geez! I have a fever!" Flo said with a huff. He quickly went into the bathroom and swapped the water in the cup he used to clean Axel's wounds. After that Flo squeezed the cloth and placed it on Axel's forehead.

Axel groaned small. Then his eyes opened slightly, still in a drunken state Axel looked at Flo.

"Lu. Khatarina Flora. You've ruined the cave life! The cave hates you!" Axel's voice rose slightly and his finger pointed at Flo. Flo smiled wryly.

"You rest first Xel. You're still drunk." Flo said, lowering Axel's hand that was pointing.

"The cave asks you to leave from the cave life. Pliss cave beg." Axel's voice was a little raucous with a scolding face. Until Flo doesn't get the heart to see it.

"Yes, I'm going. But not now. Sleep on." Flo rubbed Axel's head shortly after, and Axel closed his eyes slowly.

"Go from the cave life of Flora. Go!!" Axel's delirious. Back Flora smiled wryly. His hand held Axel's.

"Even outside of consciousness you still hate me. Wait for the time to come Axel." Flo muttered, then he removed his hand grip from Axel's hand.

Flo glanced at the clock above the nightstand showing at 02:05 he sighed. Then he walked towards the glass door that led to the balcony. Standing there with his hands folded in front of his chest. The look on his face showed a lot of sadness. When he looked out he saw a black shadow outside the fence.

Flo squinted her eyes to clarify what was out there. He revealed a little curtain. It was a little obvious there were three people in front of the fence. They looked towards Axel's house. Their movements are very suspicious.

"What is that guy doing? Suspicious." Said Flo who spoke to himself.

"Don't you turn away?" Flo was surprised by himself after saying his words. His heart was beating unruffled.

"That's a thief, definitely a thief. How am I supposed to? Well think dong Flo, think..." Flo looks restless he walked back and forth in front of Axel's bed with his hand twisting his own finger while Axel was asleep.

Flo stopped his movements.

"If they are malingering. I'm not gonna let them in." Flo said then he walked out of the room. Arriving on the first floor Flo picked up the baseball bat that was under the stairs. He walked towards the front door but his steps came to a halt.

"If I'm from here, it's gonna get caught. Just get out of the side door." Flo said which she then walked towards the side door near the swimming pool. Without the slightest fear Flo opened the door and walked quietly towards the front yard. The garden of the house that is grown with many plants makes Flo hide easily. His steps came to a halt when he heard the three suspicious people talking. Flo hides behind a large bonsai tree to listen to their conversation.

Flora p.o.v

Here's where I am. Hiding behind a sizable bonsai tree I wanted to surprise them but I paused on hearing their conversation.

Eavesdropping on people's conversations occasionally is okay huh. It feels like a stalker.

From my hiding place I could see their faces. The three of them were heavy and muscular. Dressed in black, two men with plontos heads and one man with long hair.

I suspect they're the mobsters anyway?. Bizarrely. If the thief must have entered the house by jumping over the fence. But they were standing in front of the fence. I sharpened my hearing to hear what they were talking about.

"Lo sure this is Robert Ardhana Kusuma's house?" Ask the man with long hair.

"Yes, we've found out. And we're sure this is his house." The bald-headed man wearing the sunglasses answered him.

Are they professional? Until the name of the owner of the house they know.

But wait a minute. Something is strange. When Robert was there they didn't live here and after that Mamah Ambar and Axel moved here. Where did they know this was Robert's house, while Robert's father had long since died. It's suspicious.

Bughhhh

"Awww, shit!!"

Ahh shit I didn't realize the baseball bat I was holding fell on my leg. It hurts so much, lest my toenails come off. I looked down to touch my toes. Suddenly it was like someone was rubbing my ass. I look down.

"Ihh mamah.mamah.cat.."

Duggs

Aikkhh my head hurts so much I bumped into a bonsai tree because of this damn cat. I smothered my mouth so as not to make a sound later I was caught eavesdropping on their conversation.

"What's that!Why is the tree wobbling so!" I don't know whose voice one of them is I don't know.

Ouhh mampuss, do not get caught, do not get caught.

Oh cat go dong. Don't bother me, I'm eavesdropping on this again.

"No more people!"

"Lo crazy, gini midnight where there are people hanging around. This is a lonely house."

"We don't know. His assistant or his driver. What if we get caught? Must have failed our plan later."

I don't know who's talking about that. Because of my position now, sitting on the grass with my head lowered just above my knees.

"Lo's both noisy!".

Ploookkk

Aww shucks who throws my head with a pebble I'll break his neck later.

Complete is my suffering, my legs are hit by a baseball bat, my head is hit by a tree, thrown using pebbles again, plus a cat who rubs my ass. My ass is no longer a virgin.

I can't stand this cat. I threw the cat away, and he jumped over the fence.

"wwwS..Aww cat cat cat!"

That's not my voice. Who is dong?

Scroll the people who are outside the fence. The long-haired man leaped towards the bald man next to him with his hand tied around the bald man's neck and his leg around his waist.

A body as big as a rhino is afraid of cats. It's just like being a ballet dancer.

"Lo scared of cats?" Ask the bald guy with black glasses.

"Ehemk. I am not afraid of cats. The cave's just shocked." The long-haired man detached himself from the bald man next to him and pretended to be a cool-ass.

Ihh reason. That guy he jumped in fear.

"Gue said what, there can't be anyone. It's a cat." The bald guy who doesn't wear glasses.

"Trus what's next. We found his house. What should we do." Said the bald man in black glasses. It's so much bald that I find it hard to tell the difference.

"We wait for orders from the boss, three more months the boss will return to Indonesia."

"How are we going to finish now?"

"If we act now. We're the one who's gonna finish the boss later. Let's go."

They also left. I just couldn't believe what I just heard.

What do they mean?

Finish who?

Order from the boss? Whose boss?

My heart really doesn't care right now. My worry is getting bigger.

Who're they?

Why did they mention Robert's name. Are they someone's messengers?

If so, who is behind all this?

Why the end of this is so much awkwardness that I found, ranging from letters of terror in the apartment, to those who seemed to be stalking this house.

Does this have anything to do with what happened 7 years ago? I'm dizzy thinking about it. And thank goodness they left.

I went from my hiding place to go into the house to Axel's room until I saw Axel fall asleep. I put my palm on his forehead.

"Thank God the fever has gone down."

When I wanted to keep my hand away from her forehead, Axel's hand suddenly grabbed my hand very tightly, but her eyes were closed she was still sleeping. I tried to let go of his grip but it was very difficult, it seemed like he did not want to let go of my hand, instead he brought my hand to his cheek as if asking me to cupped his cheek.

My hands that still remained faithful were held by him on the side with his cheek as if it was the thing that made him most comfortable. I slowly pulled my hand out of his grip and pierced his cheek, but still, as if held by him even he muttered indistinctly as if forbidding me to let go of my hand.

Finally I sat on the floor leaving him in such a position. My hands stretched out to caress her hair, I noticed every curve of her face, I rubbed her eyes that were still closed, eyes that I had admired for a long time. I stroked her cheeks filled with bruises that already looked blue. I looked at every inch of his face.

"Your face has not changed Xel, it is still the same as it used to be. Handsomest. But your attitude has really changed, it's changed a lot. Even now I don't know who you are." I smiled wryly.

"If you knew who I was, would you still ask me to leave?" I asked, it felt like Axel really wanted to answer my question by saying no, but in fact he was still sound asleep and maybe he didn't hear my question at all.

Suddenly, sleepiness attacked me. I closed my eyes following Axel to dreamland.

***

Axel blinked his eyes several times, his hands outstretched holding his head that felt throbbing from drinking too much last night. After being able to adjust his vision to the light around him his eyes were directed at someone sleeping next to him. With his head down on the floor and his head down on the side of the bed, one hand was under Axel's cheek and the other hand was on Axel's neck.

"Fw.." Axel muttered after realizing who was beside him.

As Axel wanted to move he grimaced in pain, he felt his body crumble like it was being overwritten by a rhino. Hearing the ringing and movement of Axel Flo woke up from his sleep.

"Are you awake?" Flo asked in a voice so soft.

"Keep your hands!" Axel said with a ketus. Immediately Flo pulled his hand and muttered an apology.

With great difficulty Axel sat on the bed and leaned his back on the headboard. He stomped his head slowly, seeing that Flo immediately picked up the drinking water he had provided last night on the nightstand.

"You drink first." Flood thrust the glass with the water to Axel and he sat down on the side of the bed. When he wanted to take a glass from Flo's hand, Axel accidentally vomited on Flo's shirt and dropped his head on Flo's shoulder.

Flo really felt disgusted but when he saw Axel so limp he did not reach the heart. Flo swiftly straightened Axel's body and saw Axel's face was very pale, Flo took tissue and cleaned Axel's mouth. Axel who saw that could not say anything because he felt so weak he just stared at Flo with my eyes.

"He's not disgusted?" Axel asked in his heart.

"Wait a minute, I'll change my clothes first." Said Flo who then stood with a heart so that the dirt from the vomit Axel did not scattered, then he looked confused. "But I don't have clothes. I borrowed your shirt for nothing?" Flo asked Axel and Axel could only nod his head weakly.

Flo walks into Axel's closet, picks up a white t-shirt, and she passes to the bathroom. When you're done Flo comes out of the bathroom.

"Wait a minute I'll make you breakfast." Flo said then he walked out of the room.

Arriving in the kitchen he did not know what to do, if cooking porridge would be long, if eating Axel Bread again sick. Flo confusion.

Ting.ting...

The voice carried Flo running out of the house.

Not long after Flo came in with the tray. He smiled at Axel. Flo put the food he brought on the nightstand, then he approached Axel who was still weak.

"You have breakfast first. Your stomach must be empty."

"Help the cave to the bathroom." Axel said flatly. Flo smiled, then looked at Axel slowly towards the bathroom.

"Get out." Axel said as they reached the bathroom. Flo gets out and closes the door.

Flo thought for a moment. Then he opened the closet and looked for something, he took a bedcover. While Flo was changing the bedcover Axel suddenly opened the bathroom door and his head poked out a little.

"Fw..." Flo turned his head when his name was called by Axel.

"What's wrong?" Ask Flo and stop her activities. Axel looks like a mess.

"Can you please please?" Axel asked back and Flo replied with a nod of his head.

"Mmm.that's..." Axel said awkwardly. The confused Flo simply raised both eyebrows as if saying "just say it."

"May you take the cave pants, please?" Axel ventured to say it even though his face looked red.

Flo smiled happily, only this time Axel spoke so softly to her. The girl walked into the closet, picked up Axel's jogger pants and gave them away.

As Flo wants to get back to the bed, Axel calls her back.

"Ehh wait!"

Flo who heard that, turned her body and turned back to face Axel.

"A.ambilin.underwear cave." Axel's two flushed cheeks held back his embarrassment. Flo's eyes widened.

"Gu.gua can't get out." Axel said again.

"It's a shame to cave." Inner Axel.

"Take what? The underwear? O god I'm ashamed of the oath!" Flo said in his heart.

"The cave horde is cold." The shame Axel felt was already huge, asking someone to take his underwear was very embarrassing.

"In.where?" Ask Flo in the end.

"In the drawer in the closet." Axel turned his face as he said that.

Flo opens the closet drawer awkwardly and Flo's trembling hand picks up what Axel asked for and gives it to Axel.

Blammm

Axel slammed the door after taking what Flo gave him. Not that he was angry but his embarrassment had already passed.

Flo was surprised to hear the sound of the door. But then he went back to the bed to put up a bedcover. Along with the completion of Flo activity, Axel came out of the bathroom. His unhealed condition made him walk with great difficulty. Seeing that Flo swiftly rubbed Axel's body and brought him to bed.

Axel sat on top of the mattress and his back leaned against the head of the mattress. Flo took the food he had brought.

"You eat first. I didn't have time to cook so I bought some ijo bean porridge. It's still warm. It's okay, right?" Ask Flo. Axel did not answer it. "same talking electricity pole tau not." Flo muttered in the heart.

Flo feeds Axel patiently, several times Axel says it already, but Flo always says a little more until the porridge runs out of nothing, Axel who saw that was singing his lips he was annoyed at Flo who always forced him.

Flo gives some medicinal seeds and a glass filled with drinking water. Axel had wanted to reject it, but he said he did not want to show his efficacious attitude when sick to the person who hated him the most. With great force and sweat that poured Axel swallowed the medicine.

After that Axel laid his body and slowly closed his eyes. Flo pulled out a blanket to cover Axel's body to the chest. Then he walked towards the door to get out and let Axel rest.
