Obsession Love's

Forty-three

They still sit together. Waiting for the doctor who handled Erland to come out. Then while waiting for almost half an hour, the sound of the door opened and showed the doctor and two sisters. Callista stood up quickly. He approached the doctor with an anxious face. Followed by Alvis behind him.

"How's the condition?" callista said worriedly. His hands were firmly clenched in front.

"The patient has been taken care of. And now his condition has improved. But because the impact on his head was hard enough to make the patient fall into a coma. And we can't be sure how long the comma is" Callista let out a rough breath. Then his hand rubbed his face quickly. There were frustrated strokes in Callista's eyes. Sure oes. Why not, because Callista will definitely be blamed by Fiona. After what happened to her and Erland, Fiona had definitely blamed Callista for all of these events.

"Steps. I'm here" Alvis stroked Callista's shoulder gently. The girl looked at me. His face looks so cute.

"Doctor, please just take care of everything. Give the patient everything they need. I will bear the cost" Alvis turned to look at the doctor. The doctor seemed to nod. Not long after the doctor left followed by the nurse.

"You want to know why I'm here, right? Now I'm gonna say it. Come on!" Alvis takes Callista by the hand and takes her away from Erland's room.

"Where are you going?" callista asked in their steps.

"Ke cafe" brief Alvis without turning his head. They continued walking to the parking lot. Then enter the car with a shiny black pollet.

***

They got there. The nearest cafe Alvis selected. The two sat together facing each other. After ordering food and drink, Alvis began to position his body and look at his face seriously. Looked at Callista's face.

Alvis took it all. Everything that has happened to him to this day. It starts with him being eliminated by Erland. He was in a foreign city. The city of people he does not know. And that city is the city that he currently occupies, Bali. Alvis also explained everything that happened to him while he was in the room. When he was discovered by a wealthy businessman. At that time Alvis was helped to rise by that man. He is believed to be the right-hand man of the business. Then start living his life slowly. Away from Callista and David. Also far from his home town. Alvis had his own day in that foreign place. He works hard to make the business (one who has been kind enough to help him) successful and gets a big profit. And Alvis arrived at that position. Where he made the name of the business man and raised his degree. Then as a reciprocal, the businessman gave Alvis all the facilities. Starting from luxury homes, cars, money, and other wealth. Alvis' life changed. Luck seemed to be on his side. Get everything Alvis didn't have before. But with a blink of an eye the man was able to grab everything. Alvis decides to find Callista. Took him away from the clutches of that mad man. But then luck sided with him again. Because before Alvis looked for Callista, he had been reunited with the girl first. Alvis meets Callista when he accidentally bumps into Erland due to the influence of alcohol which makes him slightly lose consciousness.

Alvis continued to speak. And Callista just heard it silently. Occasionally his eyes rounded when alvis told about the difficulty of living without Callista beside him.

Long they talk. Until a servant came closer to bring their order. Alvis stopped talking because everything he had to say was fully conveyed.

The waiter offered a menu of food and drinks that Alvis ordered earlier. Alvis smiled as a sign of gratitude. And the waiter sauntered away after looking down. Alvis brought Callista's order closer to him. But the girl seemed to be daydreaming regardless of Alvis.

"Hey. Your food is ready. Let's eat" said Alvis flicked his hand in front of Callista's face. Callista flicked his eyes repeatedly. Then smile stiffly.

"Your food is ready. Come eat" Alvis repeated. Callista nodded without speaking. Then his hand started grabbing the spoon and fork. Alvis did the same. He began to feed his food. Slowly chew. Then his gaze looked at Callista who was back daydreaming. Even the girl was just stirring the food in front of her. Alvis grabbed a glass and drank it. He stared hard at Callista. The girl remains the same. Keep daydreaming regardless of Alvis. Alvis returned to his feet. Callista's response was the same. Alvis is alone. Then decided to rebuke Callista. The man patted Callista's shoulder quite strongly. Until finally the girl's eyes woke up and looked at the hands on her shoulders and the face of Alvis alternately.

"Why hem?" alvis. Callista shook his head and then lowered his head. His hands began to take food and devour it languidly. Slowly chew without taste. Alvis only looked at Callista's behavior which he thought was strange.

"If there's a problem you can tell me" Alvis bargained. Callista is back. Then the man exhaled his coarse breath.

"If you don't want to say it then why are you just silent? Don't confuse me" Alvis said again. This time Callista looked at him.

"What's your purpose in looking for me?" Callista asked in a soft tone. His gaze was also very weakened. His head tilted slightly to the right.

"That's because I really love you" Alvis replied. Callista seemed to be wasting his breath.

"Because I want to take you away from that man. I know your life suffered a lot with him" Callista shook his head quickly parrying Alvis' words.

"The reality is not like that. What if I told you I was happy with him" Alvis mutely said. Callista's words were like a storm for her.

"That's impossible! I still remember how you defended me rather than that man!" press Alvis. Callista opened his eyes.

"When do I defend you in front of him?" ask Callista.

"Last time we met. Homemaking. When the man hit my body. You were defending me back then" Alvis tried to twist the memory to remind Callista.

"For the last time I defended you. Because after that day I've forgotten who you are? and who are we? What's our relationship? I've forgotten everything" Callista tried so hard to say all those things. He is currently lying. But with all the might of Callista tried to be ordinary so that the man in front of him believe. Although in the corner of the girl's eyes had been piled how many puddles of tears.

Alvis nodded quickly. Trying to convince myself that what Callista said was just a mistake.

"I know you're just lying. For what reason did you lie to me?"

"I'm not lying" Callista said. Alvis is weakened. His veins seemed to break. Hearing Callista say it was as if a lightning bolt had struck. How could the girl he loved say such a thing. Happy with the person who made him suffer? That's pretty much impossible.

"Tell me what's your reason for saying this? Are you lying or telling the truth?" Callista kicep with Alvis's question. What should he answer? Honesty or lies? If Callista's honest it's impossible to tell Alvis that Erland saved his life. Help with medical expenses and all. And Fiona asks Callista to accept Erland's feelings. That's a tough thing for Callista himself.

"I said the honest thing" Callista said. But now the tears on his face had fallen against his cheek.

"I have to go" Callista quickly said. He got up from his seat. Removing the tear brushes and then running away. Alvis is still staring at his passing. The man exhaled slowly. His eyes instantly closed. Then his hand massaged his temple slowly.

Callista is already in the taxi. His eyes were blank looking ahead. Think back to what he said.

Was my decision right to say that? I was just afraid that Fio was angry and disappointed in me because now her brother was lying helplessly. God, what should I do?. Inner Callista hysterical. Until he was unaware the taxi he was riding had arrived in front of the hospital gate where Erland was in a coma due to a collision.

Callista took out some money and gave it to the taxi driver. Then his feet stepped down the hospital hallway. Callista stood in front of the door with a round glass. Staring at the sprawled man with his bandaged head. Then a split second reminded Callista. Erland's head was also bandaged because it was wounded and bleeding due to Callista hitting him with a vase. The incident is still remembered Callista even today. Erland was trying to force herself on Callista.

A few tears fell back on the girl's cheek. Recalling that despicable thing Callista felt his chest tight. After what Erland did to him would it still be possible if Callista accepted Erland? The girl is alone. But considering Fiona's story about the struggle of Erland who was willing to fall poor because of him, made Callista reassure his decision. The girl will start accepting Erland and try to forget about Alvis. Alvis is now beside him.

Callista stepped away from the door and took a long seat. He set his breath back to normal.

"Do I have to tell Fio and David? But I forgot to bring my phone" Callista said.
