Chequek…
The sound of the door opening, made Vans and Asfa look at each other. The approaching footsteps did not change the closeness of Vans and Asfa, until the eyes of someone who looked at the closeness raised one eyebrow. "Are you a couple?"
Vans withdrew his hand and stood at the side of the bed, now a sharp, directional gaze was staring at Vans. While Asfa stared softly at the figure that had just come. "I want a hug, can I get one?"
Silent….
"Pa? Ka Vans won't run, can you hug me?" said Asfa with a smile.
Mr. Luxifer turned his attention to his daughter, Asfa's sweet smile melted his heart and mind. Mr. Luxicer walked over to the princess and gave her a hug, just as Asfa wanted. The kiss of affection on the forehead and hands, becomes a moment of simple happiness. "How are you, baby? Do we need to go to the hospital again? Or to the country before?"
Asfa looked at the papa, a man with a serious and cold face who was always a backrest and strength at every step of his foot. No question has any doubt, other than questions because of anxiety and worry. Asfa's hand rubbed Luxicer's. "I'am okay dad. Introduce him to Vans, son of the Burhan family. Ka, this is my papa. Don't think far, we've been friends for years. It's just that, after moving to this country, our relationship is a little tenuous."
"Friend? The Burhan family, are you Burhan Al Hamid's grandson?" asked Mr. Luxicer to look at Vans.
Inevitably, Vans nodded confirming his little elf's speech. Otherwise, it could have ended in silence for a year. Mr. Luxicer took a peek from top to bottom, causing Vans to scratch his non-itchy head. Asfa stifled laughter due to the father's excessive attitude, for what looked like Vans was choosing goods in the store.
"Did you not believe?" ask Vans to be brave.
"How did you leave your job and stay at my place? Didn't your grandfather handcuff your hand?" ask Mr. Luxicer.
The question of Mr. Luxicer suddenly made Vans put on a sour face, it turns out papa Asfa knows well the figure of Burhan's grandfather. While Asfa chose to be a good listener, Vans chose to pull out a regular chair and sit facing the two people who were on the bed. "I just want to accompany my life-saving little elf, especially my life is Queen's."
Vans' words stopped the smile on Asfa's face, now the blue netra glanced at Vans and met Vans's eyes. The gaze of the eye was watched by Mr. Luxicer, now clearly visible love in the eyes of Vans. But not in his daughter's eyes. The conversation last night was still unfolding, and it became the obvious answer. Vans' love is Asfa, but the man still has his limits.
Your love is just like my love for Naura, it's just that your love is unrequited and has a place in my daughter's life. I hope there is no bad view of your love, and make the way of everyone's life complicated.~in Mr. Luxicer.
"Ekhem! When do you talk with such a signal? Rest boy, and you're Vans. Take care of your identity, let it remain an ordinary doctor. I don't want your grandfather to come and look for unnecessary trouble. You know better what your grandfather was like, don't you?" Mr. Luxicer closed Asfa's eyes with his palm.
"I understand sir, thank you for giving permission to take care of Queen. On identity, I agree with your words. It's better to be a regular doctor and be able to keep Queen unhindered from her own family." replied Vans and neutralized the feelings.
Asfa lowered his hand, though no more smiles and a cold expression began to appear. It brings out cold and intimidation. "Give me time with him. Please dad. (Give me time with him. Please ayan.)"
A serious look with sharp eyes, made Master Luxicer sigh. Something seemed to be bothering the princess. "Sure. Don't many think and take care baby," Mr. Luxicer looked at Vans and got a nod of his head from young master Burhan.
There was only silence, other than hearing the sound of Mr. Luxicer's footsteps walking towards the door. Moments until the door opened and closed again, now Asfa revealed a blanket that covered part of his body. Slowly lowering his legs to sit on the edge of the bed, Vans intends to help. But the hand of Asfa gave a ban.
Asfa was still silent and tried to release the two hands of Vans who were clutching her waist. However, Vans did not give up and let Asfa loose just like that. Weak conditions and the influence of the drug are still clearly visible, but stubborn Asfa seems to be a strength of its own. Vans tightened his arms and held onto Asfa's chin. The two eyes stared at each other, with a sharp and gentle gaze.
"What you want?(What do you want?)" ask Vans softly.
Silent….
"Don't be like this! If I'm wrong, say it instead of being silent and staring hard like now. Should I jump off the balcony? Or should…"
"What's? You ask me, what do you want? Seriously Vans.(.Whahuh? You ask me, what do you want? Seriously vans.)" Asfa looked more and more at Vans.
Asfa's voice was so resolute with insinuations, it meant that something was missed by her. For a moment Vans closed his eyes and tried to recall which part ignited the fire of his little elf. But there is no one discussion that can be the reason for Asfa's anger. Seeing Vans' insensitive reaction, Asfa closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
"Take me off! I can stand alone." Asfa said, making Vans open his eyes and look at the blue netra that looks calmer than before.
Vans did not let go, but carried Asfa and sat her little elf on the bed. Vans knelt down in front of Asfa, and grabbed both hands of Asfa. "If my words, let alone my feelings trouble you. I will let go of all the feelings in my heart, but please don't act like this to me. You're part of my soul, if not…."
"Stop! Since when have I asked you to return the favor? Vans Burhan Al Hamid, I saved you it's destiny and we became friends with trust. Stop thinking your life is mine. Your life belongs to you, not to anyone else. How many times do I explain this?" sidelines Asfa, making Vans close his eyes.
Repeatedly, but Asfa's warning and advice would not change the viewpoint and feeling in his heart. It is true, Asfa does not like if one life is dedicated to others. Even if it's for the savior. Vans opened his eyes, raised his face and looked at Asfa.
"I'm sorry, I can't change anything. More than myself, you know what I look like inside and out. My little elf, let me be your shadow. My limits will remain behind, and will not go beyond your decision." pinta Vans solemnly.
Asfa removed both hands from Vans' grasp, the blue eyes staring far behind Vans. The longer he looked into Vans' eyes, the more pain in his heart slowly crept through. There was a sense of tightness that pinched his heart. Without answering, Asfa chose to lay down a weak body with a confused mind.
Vans helped envelop Asfa's body, and allowed her little elf to return to rest. The debate was quite draining and feeling, one speech Asfa crossed Vans. Reminds Vans to avoid too deep debate.
*Don't make the way complicated, the debate will only be emotionally draining and I'd rather fight, than argue.*
Asfa's eyes peered, making Vans sit on the floor and stare at the glass towards the balcony. For the umpteenth time, an emotionally draining debate occurred between the two and this time it happened when Asfa's condition was weak.
The reflection Vans did, in contrast to the confusion of two men to relieve the fear of women in the room. Suddenly the woman screamed hysterically and for some reason, until the woman's soul was shaken.
"Would we take him to the hospital? How's it?"
