The dawn Azan was already reverberating, but my eyes had not been closed for a second. Ever since I found the stifling sheet, my mind's been fucked up. For eight hours, I just sat on the edge of the bed staring at the face of Kak Darren who was sound in his sleep. Whether or not the medicine would react, it was already impatient to wait for him to wake up and ask everything.
Since the azan is over, I went and stepped towards the bathroom, cleaning myself and taking the water.
After that, I held prayer rites and performed dawn prayers.
A few minutes later, I clenched my hand. Give thanks for all the pleasures, also ask forgiveness for all the mistakes. Then I began to pray.
"O Allah, make it easy for this business. Protect your servant and Brother Darren. Maintain our relationship, don't be allowed to crack, let alone separate." I rubbed my face with my palm.
When I was still struggling and thinking about Brother Darren, he suddenly called out to me from behind.
I turned my head quickly and found him sitting on the sofa, kneeling at the temple.
"Sister Darren, are you awake, brother?" I moved and immediately approached her, even a pure skirt just to reveal, had not had time to take off.
"My head hurts, honey. I ... it looks like I__"
"Drink first, Brother." I whipped a bottle of water on the table, and I thrust it at him.
"What's going on, honey?" ask Darren after drinking.
I sat down next to him and took a rough breath, "Bite, then pray, after which we talk. There's something important I want to ask you, brother."
"What's important, honey?" Brother Darren looks at me.
"Bring first, Brother!"
"D-yes." Darren took off the blanket, then got up from his seat.
His expression looked puzzled as he looked at the towel covering part of his body. "Darling, last night .. Why am I sleeping? In fact, I haven't .. haven't__"
"Sister, shower!" I finished quickly and firmly.
Then, I went up and stepped towards the bed, Brother Darren also walked towards the bathroom. After removing the face, I sat on the bed, waiting for Darren with anxious hopes.
A few minutes later, Darren came out of the bathroom and asked me what I wanted to talk about. But I refused and told him to pray. Although the look on his face was a little upset, but Brother Darren obeyed my words.
"I'm done. Now, tell me what you want to talk about?" ask Kak Darren after performing dawn prayers.
"Sit down!" I said because he asked while standing up.
Brother Darren clucked softly and then sat down in front of me. Before I spoke, I looked at his face that was still a little wet. My heart trembled and ached as I recalled what she had been hiding all along.
"Sayang___"
"What is this, brother? Why are you hiding it from me?" I thrust out the sheet I found last night and the results of a blood test showed that she had severe oligospermia.
"Sa-honey, you .. you." Brother Darren grabbed the sheet nervously.
"It's not a trivial matter, brother, but why do you keep it to yourself? Darren forgot our promise? Or deliberately learn to lie? There might be something else bigger than this, that you want to keep your brother alone." I started to lift the intonation.
"It's a shame it's not like that" said Darren. "I'm sorry I wasn't honest with you. I'm not perfect, honey. I'm afraid you're disappointed and leave. I can't afford to lose you." Brother Darren slapped his face in my lap.
I was wrong with his attitude. In addition to slapping his face and clasping tightly, he also continued to apologize.
"Kak__"
"This I got because of a wrong habit. I overindulged alcohol and ended up like this. I'm sorry I'm not perfect, honey. I was too stupid in the past" Darren said.
"Sir, awake! We're talking good, don't be like this!" my spoken.
"Please don't go, honey, I love you so much." Darren is still in his original position.
"Was that low your judgment on me, brother?" ask me firmly. Honestly, I was very upset to hear the reason— was intentionally dishonest for fear of me being disappointed and leaving. Was I that low in his eyes?
"Sayang___"
"Wake up!"
Slowly, Brother Darren got up and looked at me fixedly. His eyes blurred slightly and his lips trembled, it was obvious that this was something that was painful to him.
"Why___"
"I often come home late too because of this, stop by first at the doctor's house. I'm sorry, honey, I'm really afraid you're disappointed" Darren said.
"I love you sincerely, Brother, you should know that. I'd be happier if you talked about this in the first place. That way, I wouldn't be so bad thinking about you," I explained.
"You ... aren't disappointed with me?" Brother Darren clasped my arm.
"As long as your heart doesn't change, I love you no matter what. But ... I'm a little disappointed that Darren's been hiding it for too long." I returned his gaze with clinging.
"Thank you, honey. Pray that my condition will soon improve so that the fruit of love will soon be present among us." Brother Darren hugged me tightly.
I did not reply, just his body a little I pushed so that his embrace was released.
"Sayang___"
"There's still something else I want to talk about" I concluded.
"W-what else, honey?" His expression began to get nervous.
"The name of the doctor listed on the sheet is male, not female. In addition, the doctor had working hours even though he opened a practice at home. 24-hour service is only IGD and people give birth." I gave my word to see Darren's reaction. However, he just lowered his head while tightening his grasp.
"Sir Darren often goes out at night and comes home early, often also receiving calls at unnatural times. I'm sure it has nothing to do with this oligospermia" I said.
"Darling, i___"
"Who's Angel? Why was it turned off when I got the call?" I quickly finished.
"Honey, that ... that .. that's not what you thought it was. She just .... just ..., ahh." Darren's brother is nibbling his temple.
"Because Darren already understands my guess, so please explain!" my word.
"I'm .. I can't explain it right now."
"Why? When will you hide it again, brother?" My intonation is back high.
"Dear, relax!" Darren tried to calm down, but I just got up and got out of bed.
"I'd be very disappointed if you didn't want to speak honestly, brother. As bad or as good as it is, say it!" I said while folding my hands on my chest.
"Give me a little time, honey."
"No! I've been overshadowed by prejudice for a long time. Tell me now or I'll go home to Mom!" my grit.
"Darling, don't talk!"
"Why? You can just hide something," I protested.
"Honey, this___"
"Say or I'll go home!" I cut his words again.
"All right." Brother Darren let out a rough breath. "Actually, actually___"
"Quick say, Brother!"
"Angel is actually__"
