The Choice of Old Man

Alexa's Death

Alexa got up, then sat down for a while. His head was felt in the impact of a blunt object many times on the left right side. Though as he remembered, he was behind Ilona, chasing the black hoodie with his best friend. However, someone pulled his wrist and stuck a syringe on his shoulder. After the needle penetrated the skin, he felt his eyelids heavy as sleepy.

Alexa looked around. The room he was in was currently so stuffy. There was not the slightest illumination, only sunlight entering through the small window. He pulled the doorknob that directly led him into the middle room.

A second later, a man came out of the bathroom. Alexa was stunned to see the man before her.

"Lo's sober? For the second time, an accident. Next time, you have to be careful." Gavin said.

"Accident?"

"Yes," Gavin took his phone in the back pocket of his pants and thrust it. "Now, take. You have to tell your husband, right?"

Hesitating, Alexa grabbed the phone in the man's hand. Instead of giving, Gavin throws his phone under a long sofa. Then, Gavin widened his smile. Alexa is suspicious. He slowly regressed his steps, then turned around to grab the doorknob.

Gavin's smile faded. Leisurely, he approached Alexa, pulled the tip of the girl's hair and stomped his forehead at the door. Not only got there, Gavin dragged Alexa's body down.

The girl grabbed a knife at the kitchen table, then pointed it at Gavin. "Please release me, and hand yourself over to the police."

"Serahin himself? Don't expect." Gavin held the handle of the sharp object and pointed it at Alexa's heart. His teeth gritted as Gavin pushed the knife in his hand. "Honestly, I don't want to do this. But, if you are like this. I've changed my mind."

"Acci ... ." As much as Alexa's power to hold the tip of the knife.

Gavin stuck a knife in Alexa's thigh. The girl sat on the floor, bit by bit blood seeping out flooding the floor. Alexa could do nothing but leave the sharp weapon left on her thigh, because if removed, the blood would flow more and more in the injured skin area.

Blood soiled the floor as Alexa dragged her body. He chose to go back to the room, then close the door. Alexa fingered pants pocket. Luckily, he always prioritizes the most important things that must be taken anywhere. Soon Alexa pressed Keenan's number, telling her whereabouts to her husband. Shortly the phone was connected.

"Alexa, where are you now?"

"Gue doesn't know where it is now. But it is clear ... Gavin took me somewhere" said Alexa as she pressed her thighs slowly. "Sir, there's a knife in my thigh. The blood won't stop coming out."

"Get me down, don't hang up, okay? I'm with the others get there right now."

"Yes ... Sis."

Alexa looked at her whitened nails. He felt his body cold as a lump of ice. Both of his eyes felt heavy. Keenan warns Alexa not to close her eyes. He always heard it while the phone was still on. Blood gushed dirtying his white pants.

Footsteps were heard outside the room. The door was wide open, Gavin walking closer to Alexa. Gavin put his foot on Alexa's knee, stomping it as hard as he could. The screams of the girl filled the room.

Gavin crouched down in front of Alexa, his fingers gently rubbing the pale face of his half-sister. "Lo must be mine, if you die, I won't let you go anywhere."

Passionately, Gavin brutally devours the girl's lips. Alexa no longer has enough energy to fight the man in front of her. Kiss it down to the neck. For a long time he was waiting for this moment, trapping Alexa was under his confinement.

"Damn it! Don't macem my wife, let her go now!" the sound of Keenan's tantrum was heard on Alexa's phone located on the side.

"Well, what do you want?"

The sound of a door slam echoed, making Gavin stop his activities. He had to check out. Before the doorknob was reached, Keenan had already broken it first. Looking at Alexa's pale face with blue lips, anger radiated across Keenan's face.

"Fuck lo!" Keenan could not hold himself back, until a long shot floated on Gavin's body. The man was on the floor.

Dimas's right. Keenan immediately approached Alexa, checking her body temperature and pulse. The girl's body was getting cold, her pulse was weakening. Police officers secure Gavin, while paramedics push for a folding gurney. Count three, they lifted Alexa up the gurney.

Inside the ambulance, a team of paramedics placed a ventilator in Alexa's mouth. Keenan clasped his wife's fingers tightly and placed them on his lips.

"Gue please hold on. You should be on my side."

****

Half an hour later, the doctor did not leave the operating room. Keenan had been waiting for a long time in the waiting chair, praying for his wife's safety. The light above the entrance dimmed, meaning the operation was over. Two doors opened wide, three nurses pushed the hospital bed out of the room.

Keenan approached the bed, a white cloth covering the entire body of a person lying on it. Doctors said a patient named Alexa died as a result of a ruptured blood vessel.

"Doctors don't mispronounce names, do they?" keenan asked, waiting for the doctor's answer.

The doctor shook his head. "No, Mas. We've really checked it."

Keenan's chest tightened instantly. Her tears immediately fell on the white cloth that covered Alexa's body.

"Would you know the patient?"

"I'm her husband, Doc."

"But his family said Alexa was single."

The person the doctor was talking about ran over to the patient's bed. When the white blanket was opened, it was not Alexa his wife. However, someone else happened to have a similar name. Embarrassing, Keenan was so ashamed that he thought she was his wife.

"Family patient Alexandra Wijaya!"

As soon as the wife's name was mentioned, Keenan turned around. Three nurses were out with Alexa's bed. The girl's face looked normal after the operation of lifting the sharp object. The doctor told her Alexa's condition was stable and that she would be moved to the hospital room.

Keenan peeping Alexa's cheeks. "Thank you, it's holding."

Throughout the night, Keenan's eyes were awake looking at Alexa. For a time, the girl had to use a wheelchair, at least for fifteen days. Fortunately he came on time, otherwise his wife might have been raped by Gavin.

Alexa's eyes are open. Keenan shifted his chair closer to the bed. The girl developed a smile seeing Keenan's presence.

"I'm sorry because it often ngerepotin lo" said Alexa.

Keenan laughed at the wife. "Alexa, this is the responsibility of a husband. So, don't feel burdened. I married you not only for fun, but ... It makes you every time."

Happy tears flow through the temple of Alexa. It turns out his parents did not choose him wrong life partner like Keenan. Perhaps this is the best compulsion, Alexa will try to love Keenan sincerely starting today.

Thank you, Brother Keen, you have been present in my life.
