Only Your Shadow

Thank You and Sorry

Dew immediately approached Brian as soon as he saw Brian open his eyes. The dew could not hide his excitement. He immediately called the doctor, before how long the doctor entered along with the nurse. After checking on Brian, the doctor came out immediately. The nurse removed the breathing apparatus, and immediately left.

Dew sits on the side chair of the patient bed. He looked at Brian and kept holding Brian's hand.

" Why is your face so pale?" Ask Brian.

" Really?" Ask Dew while yawning. During Brian's hospital stay, Dew was always next to Brian. He left the room only to return home to the boarding house to pick up a change of clothes.

" Ride. This bed fit for 2 people." Brian shifted his body giving a place to Dew.

" What if someone comes in?"

" It's just going up. You must have been sleep deprived while you were watching me." Brian pulls the Dew hand.

Slowly, Dew climbed onto the bed and positioned his body beside Brian.

" Is it okay - what is this like? What if I accidentally nudge your wound?" Ask Dew worried. He didn't dare get too close to Brian. But Brian instead told Dew to put his head on Brian's arm.

" Not to worry, my wounds have healed. How, comfy?" Brian asked and was answered nodding by Dew.

" How many days have you taken care of me?"

" Since you were brought here. Why did you sleep so long? You worry me, I'm afraid you won't wake up again." Dew. Brian could feel the sound of the Dew trembling slightly.

" I'm sorry to worry you." Brian stroked the head of the Dew.

" Why do you always apologize? I should have apologized. You're hurt because of my mistake."

" Wasn't women never wrong." Brian's joke that Dew responded by beating his chest slowly. Brian laughed and stroked the hair of the Dew.

Dew woke up and looked at Brian seriously.

" Are you a mafia?" Ask Dew. Brian coughed at the question of the Dew arriving - arriving at it. Brian looked at the curious eyes of Dew waiting for his answer. He smiled and pulled the Dew back to lie down.

" Why can you think like that?"

" You didn't kill Tedi by shooting him? I saw you holding a gun before you fainted. And it looks like you shot Tedi without the slightest fear." Dew looked at Brian seriously, Brian stared at the sky room listening to the story of Dew.

" Why don't you answer? If you're not a mobster, are you a hit man?" The dew raised its head.

" If that's true, are you afraid of me now?" Brian asked without taking his eyes off.

Dew thought for a moment. He also did not know what to answer. He wondered why the question would even corner him. Brian turned his head and stumbled to see the Dew that furrowed his eyebrows a sign he was thinking hard.

" There's no need to think much. What is clear is that whoever I am, I will always protect and take care of you." Brian said sincerely. Dew smiled and nodded. He put his head back on Brian's arm.

" Now go to sleep." Brian stroked softly the hair of the Dew.

Not long after the Dew has been asleep. Brian felt a slow and regular Dew breath. Brian looked back at the sky - the sky. He was thinking, how would Dew react if he knew who he really was. Brian closed his eyes, and he also fell asleep like a Dew.

At that moment the door of the room opened. Dion, who was about to enter, abandoned his intentions, and closed the door again. The sight he had just seen made him happy as well as sick. On one hand he was happy that Brian was finally able to be with Dewun. But on the other hand he also felt pain in his heart seeing their togetherness.

" It should never have been at the beginning." Inner Dion.

The dew opened his eyes. He was shocked and immediately woke up. He looked to the side, but there was no Brian. Dew looked around, but didn't see Brian anywhere. Dew will come down from the bed when the door sounds open.

Dew turned towards the sound. He sees Aldo coming out of the bathroom holding an infusion followed by Brian behind him. The dew breathed a sigh of relief and immediately walked over to them.

" Are you awake?" Ask Brian gently. Dew nodded and immediately held onto Brian's arm helping him walk back to the bed.

Brian sat down and told Dew to sit next to him.

" Why should I wake you up? Are you going to help me get to the bathroom?" Brian Goda.

" Mom.not so." The nervous dew and his face flushed. Brian smiled and pinched the nose of the Dew squash.

" So you slept well. I can't wake you up. It just so happened that Aldo was coming, so I asked him to help me get to the bathroom." Obviously Brian.

" Aldo comes when? Did he see us." Dew did not finish his sentence, he immediately covered his face with his hands.

" It's long enough until I feel like the world belongs to you, and I'm just contracting." Sindir Aldo's. Of course Aldo's words made Dew even more embarrassed. Seeing that Aldo burst into laughter, he had no idea that flirting with Dew could be so much fun.

" Aldo's. Shall I send you back to Italy?" Threat Brian. Aldo immediately stopped his laughter. He looked at Brian with a pouting face.

" Dew you better go home first. Let Aldo deliver you."

" Who is with you?" Ask Dew.

" Kris is coming soon. You take your things at the boarding house, while you live in my apartment."

" I'll just stay at the hostel." Dew refused Brian's request.

" Let's stay there first. At least until I get out of here. You want to?" Brian clasped the hand.

The Dew finally agreed to Brian's wish. He immediately went to the boarding house along with Aldo. After the Dew left, Brian lay back in bed. He felt pain in his wound. Brian turned his head when the door opened, thinking it was Kris.

Brian flashed a smile when he knew it was Dion.

Dion returned Brian's smile, then walked over and sat down on the bedside chair.

" How's your wound?" Ask Dion.

" It's improved. Did the Dew tell you?" Ask Brian back.

" He called me crying. I didn't think Tedi could make it this far. I should've finished him off a long time ago." Dion clenched his hand. Brian noticed Dion's current expression, then was seen commenting on a smile.

" Thank you for keeping the Dew so far." Brian looked straight ahead.

Dion was surprised to hear Brian's words. He looked at Brian and smiled.

" My job is done. It is your duty to take care of it. Don't let people like Tedi approach her again."

" Of course, I'll look after and protect the Dew." Answer Brian.

" Oh yeah don't forget, you don't let Dew eat too much and also eat carelessly. He was taken to the hospital because of that. You also have to keep an eye on the Dew if there is a music concert, you know the Dew habits that arrive - come forward to dance and sing at the grill?" They laugh together.

Brian listened carefully to Dion's story about Dew. Although Dion sometimes laughed, but Brian could hear the bitterness in his voice. Brian also saw Dion's eyes glazed over. Brian chose not to ask about Dion's feelings for Dew, because it would definitely hurt not just for him but for Dion as well.

When Kris arrived, Dion decided to go home.

" I'll go home first. May you heal soon. Maybe when - when can we go together again." Dion shook Brian's hand tightly.

" Of course. You are heart-heart on the road. Greetings to your family." Brian hugged Dion, Dion returned Brian's embrace while patting him on the back.

" okay. I'll go first." Dion stepped out. But just as Dion was about to open the door, he stopped his steps from hearing Brian's words.

" Dion's. Thank ye.. And sorry."

Dion smiled, opened the door and walked away from the hospital.

" True love is sincere, letting go of a loved one to see him happy with someone else." Said Brian slowly.
