Shall Under Your Charm

Chapter 55

The malaria attack that came the next day made Farah's condition much weaker so that for the next twenty-four hours Farah only regained consciousness for a few minutes. Without asking anyone, Keith asked Kevin to prepare a ship bound for an island about two hours from the Dark Devil headquarters. The small island where Keith had a very beautiful garden.

From the information obtained by him from several doctors, especially Keith's personal doctor, Farah's condition does not allow to be taken to the hospital. Even if the girl is admitted to the best hospital, the parasites in her body have spread. Currently they are only trying to prevent bad complications.

In fact, after Farah heard they were preparing a ship for her, it never occurred to her that everyone thought she would never be able to recover. They were very careful not to shake Farah's confidence by letting doubt be seen in their attitude or facial expressions.

Gege knew a lot about malaria and how serious it was, only he and a Keith personal doctor could treat Farah better than anyone to prevent complications in Farah's organs and not many people could survive after the first days of infection that disease. The worst form of deadly malaria fever has struck his beloved patient.

Gege felt grateful for not having to say it to Ryan, who with his tanned eyes could read the signs exactly, Farah who slept more, her appetite was much decreased, her condition was getting weaker. Gege knows very well, when Ryan asks Farah again, how to find the girl's family, Ryan does it not just to comfort Farah, but because it is too cruel if Farah has to die away from home and in the midst of strangers. However, even now that Farah had said it to Ryan, Farah's family would no longer be able to come in time.

Keith came to Farah's room, looking at Farah as she slept. Gege doesn't know what mask scares him the most, Keith's composure or Ryan's cheerfulness. Uncovered emotions are the worst.

They eventually arrive at Keith's small island and their move to Keith's villa goes on so carefully that Farah stays asleep throughout the process. Farah woke up in a room with free air circulation without a fireplace, when from the window her bow seemed a green field and flowers bloomed. On a hot day, large trees provide shade in the villa. The floor that was not carpeted stretched wide and every room smelled of orange.

During the hours Farah awakens, she can eat soup, joke with Gege about the medicine she is taking, and meet Linda, the beautiful Indian girl, who is, the one Keith hired to take care of this villa for as long as the man was at the headquarters. Linda has a deficiency since birth, she can only communicate with hand signals.

Linda sits beside Gege, smiling and helping Gege teach Farah a gesture, until they both see Farahb too tired to continue, then Linda took a comb and gently brushed it in the long hair of the dying girl. Farah's hair felt as soft as the foam in Linda's hand.

The next morning, Farah falls into a coma. Ryan only sat for a few hours for days, and when Ryan fell asleep in the chair, they took the man to another room, Ryan just kept quiet, the man didn't talk much. So it was Gege and the doctor who witnessed Farah dying. Once in a while, Mr. Yanka was also with Gege, as were Linda and Will, but none of them rushed to wake Ryan to see Farah. They also had to let Gio in, in order to say goodbye to Farah, and the incident had drained their energy and emotions so much that Mr. Yanka felt his wrinkled hands tremble as Will pulled Gio out of Farah's room. Since then, no one has spoken.

Keith stepped into Farah's room with eyes glistening sharply like a fox.

While walking slowly to where Farah was lying helplessly under the head of the large bed, Keith cupped Farah's paper-pale face between his palms.

"Oh, no, my girl" Keith said to Farah very gently, "You will not die. Because I have a plan for you. Because you're so much smarter than your mother. And because Gege and my doctor know better than just sitting there like a dumpster and letting you die."

In fact, in the ears of all of them, who were in Farah's room, the cruelty of Keith's words felt extremely shocking. Mr. Yankab felt his chest tight from breathing too quickly, and beside him, Pal Yanka also noticed that Will had turned tense. Linda stood up and ran straight to Gege. Linda might not be able to understand what Keith was saying, but the girl could see the effect it had on Gege.

A sharp change in Gege's facial expression, which was rare, made the atmosphere turn tense and silent. It would be cruel for Keith to lay the blame on a young man, who had suffered too much and who had done everything for Farah, even if he could make Farah recover, Gege must have been willing to cut off some of his heart and give it to Farah. What is really going on inside Keith's mind?

Linda hugged Gege's neck in a protective manner, Linda's black hair enveloped Gege's arm, and Linda's cheeks were pinned on the young man's shoulder. And that alone is considered a miracle. Six months ago. Gege must have pushed Linda away, considering that Gege was always afraid and cautious of what others thought of him. The only physical contact Gege allowed was the occasional touch by Keith, and the lightning romance with women carried out by Gege's special orders.

In the memory of Mr. Yanka, will always be imprinted Gege figure on the first night they brought the young man to the headquarters of the Dark Devil.

It took years to turn the cruel products of the brothel into a young man who could become a good friend to Farah, and by this time Farah had truly left this world, Farah will take with her part of Gege.

To be sure, Gege must hear that it was not his fault that he could not save Farah, and not the other way around. What was on Keith's mind?
