Real Or Fake

BROF #2

Gladys could not sound his joy even though it was tucked away in sadness. Along the way the line of happy smiles on his lips continued to be drawn.

30 Minutes later he arrived at the hospital.

He immediately got down from the jol and ran small towards the ICU room (Intensive Care Unit), which was, before entering Gladys first wash his hands and wear a green outer dress and mask as recommended by the hospital nurse.

"Sister Lea." Call Gladys when you see Lea sitting by the bed.

"You've come." Said Lea while smiling kindly.

"Yes brother. As soon as Lea called, I immediately got ready and came to the hospital."

"If I go out first, you'll find a drink."

Lea exits the ICU leaving Gladys and Leon.

Gladys stared at Leon's face, which looked like a person in deep sleep with a ventilator³ attached, a severed head and various medical equipment stuck in Leon's body, and smiled. "Hi dear Leon, can you hear my voice?" Galdys asked and then held Leon flat, and there was certainly no reply from Leon.

"Is there me in your dream?" Ask Gladys again.

Now Gladys smile turned into tears. But Gladys tried to hold him back so Leon wouldn't feel it.

Gladys was already unable to hold back his cries. " Leon I say yes, I promise to come again." Gladys said in a hoarse voice and kissed Leon on the forehead.

With a little running Gladys closed his mouth so as not to let out his crying voice.

Gladys has been outside the ICU and has taken off her outer dress and mask. The crying that had been held since then was now unbearable by Gladys, he sat in one of the hospital's long chairs and cried.

"Am I able to get through this all Leon? I just feel like giving up. Seeing you lying like that with all the medical equipment stuck in your body made my heart ache and sad. Plus Aunt Lina who hates me so much, she said that I'm a shit carrier for you. Is that true? am I a fucking carrier? Even the witch said that I was in my papa's household. Didn't-don't mama also leave me because she thinks I brought bad luck for her?" Gladys said in his heart.

"Gladys." Call Lea.

Gladys who heard her name called quickly wiped her tears and looked towards Lea who was approaching her.

"Sister Lea." Say hello to Gladys with the typical voice of a crying person and puffy eyes.

"I'm still not used to seeing Leon's situation as it is now, the inn wants to cry. Rather than me crying inside and affecting Leon better me out."Gladys.

Lea smiled. " At first I was also like you can't help seeing Leon's condition now. But I don't want to be strong. I'm sure you can too."

"Thank you, Lea."

"Oh yeah about the hospital payment that mom said, I've taken care of it."

"What do you mean by Lea?" Gladys asked in shock.

"I know you have not been able to work, the money you have is definitely only enough to cost your daily needs. So I used my money to charge Leon's drugs. Leon is also my brother." Answer Lea.

"But my sister Lea has promised Aunt Lina to cover the cost of Leon's hospital, as long as she's in the care. What if Aunt Lina finds out? Aunt Lina will definitely be angry and hate me even more." Said Gladys who felt bad for Lea, she was also afraid that Lina would find out later.

"You take it easy, who knows only the two of us. Some mama doesn't know about the hospital bills, I also pay them on your behalf so if later mama gets to know about the bill it's no problem. But Gladys I'm sorry for the next bills I don't seem to be able to pay anymore. My savings are really thin." Said Lea who felt guilty for not being able to help Gladys anymore.

"Sister Lea don't apologize. I should be thankful that Lea helped me. I have also applied in several companies, so Kak Lea took it easy. I can definitely get a job" Gladys explained.

Lea felt sorry for Gladys and her sister. They should be able to fight together to ask for my mother's blessing and get married. But dear God willed another to them.Lea thought, she then hugged Gladys to give him spirit.

"You should always remember, this Lea Brother of yours will always be there to support you both." Lea said.

"Thank you, Lea." Gladys.
