The Bed Friends

LIE

Beth and Yvone remain silent until the elevator arrives on the third floor, where Timmy's treatment room is located. Yvone comes out first, followed by Beth. The two men stopped in room number three. Yvone then opened the door and started to voice again.

"It was only about an hour ago that Timmy was transferred here."

Beth rushed in as soon as the door to the treatment room opened. The girl also immediately approached Timmy's care bed.

Looks like Timmy's still sound in his sleep. It may also be the effect of the drug that was taken by the man.

"Did she not wake up since you found her?" Beth asks Yvone who has been approaching Timmy's care bed.

"He was awake before the CT scan" Yvone explained, looking into Timmy's face, which looked calm in his sleep.

"Then he went to sleep again after being given the drug by a doctor," Yvone continued.

"She said something about her reason for being in this town?" Beth asked Yvone the question again. And for this time Yvone immediately shook his head. Yvone asked and Timmy just kept quiet. So Yvone really doesn't know.

"He didn't say anything when he woke up?" Ask Beth again who has now clasped Timmy's hand. Seen that Beth was so worried about her brother.

"She just asked me why she was in the hospital and after I explained the chronology when I found her, she just kept quiet and said nothing more," yvone answered Beth's last question.

"Why is he in town, Beth? Do you have any brothers"

"We have no one in this town!" Sergey Beth answered the question, not even finished.

"Maybe Timmy's meeting his friend." Yvone started guessing.

"I don't know either" said Beth.

Yvone finally did not ask again, and he immediately turned on his phone. Yvone is going to order some food for Beth because Timmy's sister might be hungry right now.

****

Night crawled up.

Yvone and Beth just finished their dinner, when Beth's phone suddenly rang.

"Mama called," Beth's great-grandson showed her phone screen on Yvone.

"Let's just!" Yvone gave me advice.

After a bit of weighing, Beth finally picked up the phone from her mother.

"Hello, Ma!"

"Beth, where are you?"

Yvone can clearly hear Mama Tere's voice on the other end of the phone because Beth did turn on the loudspeaker.

"Beth-" Beth hesitates to answer, and the girl throws her gaze at Yvone.

"Beth is with Yvone, Ma!" Answer Beth finally.

But it's true, anyway!

Beth is with Yvone right now.

"Where is Yvone? He said he wasn't feeling well."

"Yes, Beth was better after taking the medicine, and Yvone took Beth for a walk." Beth looked grimaced and Yvone who had been listening to Beth and Mama immediately shook her head. Beth could have made up a story and lied to her mother.

"Where to walk? What time do you want to go home? Is there Reandra too?"

"There's no Reandra, Ma! Beth's just with Yvone!" Tell Beth fast.

Just with Yvone?

Timmy is here too!

"Mama wants to talk to Yvone then!"

"Well!" Beth looked agape and Yvone who was about to move was immediately prevented by Beth.

"Give Yvone your phone now, Beth!"

"L-yes, Ma!" Beth then thrust her phone at Yvone who immediately expressed a confused expression.

"Say, I'm staying at your house!" Beth's whisper of course makes Yvone even more confused.

Why would Beth lie to her mom?

Why not come clean and say that Beth is currently in D city accompanying Timmy who has just been the victim of persecution.

What's the matter with Beth?

"Hurry up!" Beth's whisper again is forced to make Yvone open her voice and start talking to Mama Tere.

"Hello, Aunty! Good night!" Say hello to Yvone while taking a deep breath.

"Yvone's? You Yvone?"

"Where's out? Where are you guys now?"

"We're in-" Yvone looked at Beth as if she was asking.

"In your house!" Beth's whisper directly made Yvone nod.

"Where, Yv? Where are you guys now?"

"We're in the apartment, Aunty! Beth said she wanted to stay-"

"Yes, Ma! Beth wants to stay at Yvone's apartment first because tomorrow Yvone will take Beth to D!" Beth has been following along to open her voice and the girl's essay is getting stuck.

Alright, whatever!

But why would Beth bring D to town?

"What do you want to get to D, Beth?"

"In company of Yvone, Ma!"

"Say Yvone she's on business-" Beth nudges Yvone's shoulder as if giving a code for the girl to vote.

"Yes, business and holidays, Aunty! Yvone plans to take Beth because she says Beth has never been to D" Yvone said, half honest and half lying.

But Yvone does have a job in town. Then about the holidays....

Maybe Beth meant that keeping Timmy in this hospital was a vacation!

"In addition, Yvone also went alone. So if Beth comes along, Yvone will not be lonely," continued Yvone again who was infected with Beth and suddenly became good at reason too.

Hhhh!

"Yvone can take Beth, right, Aunty?" Ask Yvone next a little pleasantry.

"Can't!"

Mama Tere's reply was completely wildly guessed, and Yvone was instantly at a loss for words.

No can?

But Beth and Yvone are already in town D!

"Ma!" Beth started to whine at her mom.

"You go home now, and you don't have to stay overnight, Beth! Papa's gonna pick you up!"

"Beth can't go home now, Ma!" Beth is still whining.

"Mom and Dad will pick you up! Give me your location now!"

"Can't-"

"Geez-uhuk! Uhuk-uhuk!"

Beth had not finished reasoning, when it was heard the sound of coughing from Timmy. Surely Mama Tere can also hear it because Beth's loudspeaker is still on.

"Beth, who's coughing?"

Kan's! As Yvone thought!

"Nobody, Ma! Beth's gonna call again, Bye!" Beth hurriedly turns off the phone from Mama Tere without saying goodbye.

Basic Beth!

"I just turn off the phone so mom doesn't keep calling" said Beth who then turned off her phone. Yvone just patted her own forehead through Beth's ridiculous behavior.

"Why not be honest, anyway?" Ask Yvone who is not at all influenced by Beth who has immediately moved and checked Timmy.

"So Timmy's brother was coughing, right, Yv? How are you still not awake?" Ask Beth to Yvone.

"Since this afternoon, too," said Yvone, who had been sitting on sifa, then grabbed her laptop bag.

"But! Wake up!"

Yvone, who had just turned on her laptop, looked up at Beth who seemed to be trying to wake Timmy up.

"Hhhhh!" Yvone just shook her head, then the girl tried to focus on her laptop and ignored Beth who was now leaning her head on the edge of Timmy's care bed.

What a beautiful brother and sister who love each other!
