Secluded Love
#110
Don't be sad, don't be sad,
you can't show him your wounds.
Be strong as hard as the coral, for all storms will pass.
Give him your best smile, so he doesn't know what wounds you're going to scratch right in his heart.
If later you and he match, believe in destiny will reunite you.
Let's just say it's a test of the extent to which your love blossoms.
That was the word of encouragement that was spoken in the heart of July.
He rested his head on Damar's boat, enjoying the scent of his lover's masculine body.
The two were in the car heading for Juli's apartment, returning home after a one-night stay in Cirebon.
"May I ask you something ?"
Tanya Juli raised her head looking at Damar's face.
"Whatever to you Juls . ."
Damar smiled and then kissed the tip of his head.
"I want the rest of the perfume you're wearing right now, I love the smell."
Damar laughs at Juli's request, he thinks Juli will ask for something heavy.
"Alright, let alone perfume. You asked me to give you my heart I'd give you."
Damar said confidently.
- No, I just want you to give me your forgiveness for what I'm going to do to you.
I apologize in my heart only, after this the word will never be said directly
July tightened her embrace.
Last night he kept thinking about his best decision.
"Juls wakes up, we're home."
Damar stroked Juli's cheek and her heart woke her up.
The car reached the basement of Damar's apartment.
"I can't keep you company tonight.
He'll help bring you Juls' stuff."
Damar pointed to his personal driver, the sturdy and tall man was ready to carry July's equipment.
"I'm fine, the heart is on the way."
Juli kisses Damar's cheek with the courage he gathered.
Damar is happy to find Juli reciprocating her feelings.
While Juli takes the elevator with the driver, Damar runs his car leaving the apartment.
Dret dret . .
In the elevator July opened her phone, she received a call.
"July, Kevin is in front of my house. Since yesterday he has kept coming to see you."
Ema's voice was full of emphasis asking her best friend to come.
"Ema I just got here, man,
I'll call him now. Sorry to keep troubling."
"July Kevin's state is very messy, something may happen to him."
What Ema said made Juli feel uneasy, her feelings unsettled.
"Okay, I'm closing Ema."
As the elevator doors opened, their phone conversation ended.
"Thank you for helping."
Say July after the private driver Damar finished storing his goods inside.
"My name is Ifan, maybe we'll see you often.
Then excuse me."
Ifan turns out to be the one Damar assigned to look after July all along.
Only July did not know that.
Juli rushes to get her bag on the table, she wants to go see Kevin.
Earlier July asked Kevin to meet at one of the venues.
It took 30 minutes for July to arrive in front of Kevin's gallery.
Kevin's golden car is parked out front. It means he's inside.
July opens the unlocked gallery door.
There's no lights on, neither is Kevin there.
Maybe upstairs, he went up the stairs to look for Kevin.
He was surprised to see Kevin's room in a mess.
The man sat on the floor facing the window.
"Kevin what's up ?"
Juli sat down with Kevin, right what Ema said about Kevin's messy state.
"Julse . ."
Kevin hugged Juli so tightly that he was aghast in shock.
"What's up ?
Just tell Kevin !"
Juli rubbed Kevin's back, it seemed like he had a problem plaguing his mind.
"I'm Juls' killer, I've wiped out someone's life."
"Calm down, everything's fine Kevin.
You got me here."
But July did not want to ask much, Kevin better calm down.
He also felt guilty because Kevin had long awaited his presence.
"The company I slept with Juls . ."
Juli nodded, knowing for sure that Kevin must have not slept for how long he kept awake.
"Come, I'll help."
The girl rubbed Kevin's limp body to lie on the bed.
"Be my girlfriend Juls . ."
Lirih Kevin clasped Juli's hand over her chest.
"Sleeping Kevin, I know you're tired."
Slowly breathing Kevin began to regular, he slept after being given calm by the presence of July.
Juli let go of her heart so as not to wake Kevin up.
He walked towards the fridge, checking the food but there was nothing but mineral water.
Maybe Kevin has not eaten anything, Juli decided to shop around the shophouse.
After closing the gallery door, Juli meets a woman she recognizes.
"What's Kevin in ?"
Asked in July, he just nodded in affirmation.
"What happened to him, brother ?"
Tiara whom Juli called sister showed an expression of concern about the state of her cousin.
"It's my fault Juls, I shouldn't have asked Kevin to take any emergency action.
He operated on a critical patient unfortunately the patient did not survive.
We doctors have made it clear that Kevin is innocent, he has fought to save him.
But he kept blaming himself, even though he also knew that the success of the operation was only 20%."
Tiara explained the problems that befell Kevin in July. The two sat in the gallery gazing at the crowded streets despite Sunday.
"She's just sleeping, I'm picking up Kevin if you're not busy."
"Where are you going, man,
meet Dee ?
He's looking after Sekar who's being treated at Juls hospital."
July stopped and looked back.
"I'm going shopping, Kevin hasn't eaten yet."
He smiled at Tiara.
Although his heart ached to hear the fact that Damar chose to be with Sekar rather than rest.
Juli's thoughts are divided, on the fall of Kevin is also his lover who is alone with Sekar.
While choosing groceries at the supermarket, since then his phone vibrated.
Just once Juli checked it was Damar.
Juli ignores her lover's call, turning off her cell phone.
"I'm sorry . ."
Juli muttered in her heart, not feeling her tears dripping.
Either feeling guilty for ignoring Damar, or jealous ?
Juli returns to the gallery, Tiara has already left behind a sticky scrap in the fridge.
I have a sudden operation, please take care of Kevin Juls.
Let me explain to Dee
As stated.
Juli immediately squeezes it into the trash after Kevin comes out of the bathroom.
"Are you awake ?"
"Yes, Tiara came to wake me up.
Shopping ?
I'm so hungry."
Kevin walked towards Juli who was still pecking in the kitchen.
"Just sleep Kevin, I'll wake up when the food's ready to go."
No reply from Kevin, he obeyed all of July's orders.
At the hospital right in the hospital room, Damar squeezed his latest iPhone phone.
He sat down next to Sekar, the woman lying weakly in the gurney.
"You better go home, rest. Let the ma'am take care of Sekar."
Ayu asks Damar who looks restless it stops waiting for his sister-in-law.
"Is Sekar going to be okay ?"
Damar looked at Sekar's face of pity. That's how he feels now.
He thought Damar gave him too many tasks and jobs so Sekar fell.
"Definitely Damar, Sekar is just tired."
Ayu convinces Damar.
"Please tell me if you need anything."
Damar retired after a long time keeping Sekar replace Ayu who had to take Gilang her husband to the airport.
