THE DOCTOR'S LOVE TRAP

17. The man I love

"We need to talk to both!"

Abrine could no longer escape Raymond's wishes. He followed the man's quick steps, which pulled him away from where Elrich was sitting. El actually wanted to prevent it, but he knew that he had no right to interfere in Abrine's dealings with Raymond.

"Brine, what does this mean? Wanna marry? Withhim? Who her? When did you know her? Don't fabricate! Don't make decisions that will make you regret later." Raymond inclines Abrine with all his words.

"I'm not making it up, all I've been thinking about with a cold head" Abrine admitted.

"What?" Raymond shook his head in disbelief. "It's impossible!" cetusya. How could Abrine want to marry a foreigner like Elrich? Even Raymond never knew when and where they met.

"This is the reality. El and I are getting married, after El gets a leave of absence we'll fly to Indonesia and see my family."

"No!" said Raymond quickly. "I don't even know when you knew him. Who her? He's a foreign man, Brine!"

"Not all the men I know you should know, too, Ray! El is no stranger to me. Never mind, this has been my decision." Abrine looked the other way, he did not want to keep staring at Raymond's face that was red as if he wanted to swallow it round and round.

Raymond wanted to be angry, but couldn't vent it in front of this girl. Although he still did not believe in Abrine's decision, but he also could not force Abrine who had made a decision without involving him.

"I hope you won't regret it, Brine. I want you to be happy" said Raymond. He held onto Abrine's shoulders to get the girl to return his gaze, but Abrine was still reluctant to do so because he was afraid that when he looked at Raymond again, his heart ached and disappointed. He was also afraid that the hope of being with Raymond was again created.

"You just knew him?"

"Hmmm," Abrine answered briefly.

"May I know why you wanted to marry her so suddenly? Is he being rude to you?"

"No, Elrich helped me." Abrine had no intention of lying, indeed El had helped him, right? The man becomes his guarantor in the hospital and does not want Abrine to reimburse all the costs that are passed to him. "I liked him right away, because he was good" Abrine continued to convince Raymond.

"Then me? What about me, Brine?"

Abrine let out a short breath. "We'll stay friends, Ray!" Abrine wanted to pass from before Raymond, he was going to go back to see Elrich in the guest room.

But Abrine paused his steps for a moment, he wanted to know what Raymond's answer to his question this time.

"Did you sleep well last night?" tanya Abrine was in a position to turn her back on the desperate Raymond.

Raymond nodded and looked at Abrine's back. "I can't sleep, Brine. I was thinking about what you called yesterday about this marriage."

Abrine smiled obliquely. How could Raymond sleep if there was Freya who accompanied his night last night, but Raymond could have replied that he could not sleep because he thought about his words. Really am!

"Why didn't you return my message yesterday?" ask Raymond again.

"I didn't reply, but I read it."

"really?"

"Yes, from there I decided to visit your apartment. I want to surprise you with my arrival." Abrine tried to be frank even though with this he remembered his disappointment in the same man.

"You're going to my apartment?" ask Raymond. "Why? I don't know..."

Abrine glanced at him, he gave a faint smile. "How do you know, you're busy with Freya!"

Degs...

Freya's name was re-talked about Abrine. And what did he say? Holy hooch! Abrine sees her with Freya (again).

It felt like Raymond wanted to scream now. How could Abrine have seen her with Freya last night.

"Brine, it's-" Raymond wanted to explain to Abrine that he was drunk yesterday, and Freya was wrong, but Abrine immediately cut off his speech before he could say it.

"That's it, this discussion is over, right? I don't want El waiting for us too long. I don't want him to misunderstand me" Abrine closed.

"Abrine!" yamond exclaimed increasingly frustrated, especially now that he already knew that Abrine saw him with Freya. His head is about to explode now.

Abrine rejoins Elrich who is waiting for him.

"I'll take my file, and then I'll go back to the office again" Abrine told the man in the light blue shirt.

Elrich nodded then stood up from his position. "I'll take you to the office."

"No, you brought me here earlier. I can do it myself."

Elrich wanted to ask about Raymond, a little bit he was curious about what Abrine's relationship with the man was, he was also worried about leaving Abrine alone with Raymond in this Apartment. Elrich will leave the Apartmen after Abrine is completely gone from here.

It seems that Abrine saw the look of Elrich's concern, this must have something to do with Raymond who had not yet left, now Raymond also seemed to rejoin the two of them.

"You're not coming home?" Abrine asked Raymond, trying to gently exorcise him.

"I'll be home after he gets home." Raymond pointed at El with his chin.

Elrich smiled faintly. "I'll also get out of here after you leave" he said, not to lose.

Abrine felt dizzy looking at these two men. He left both of them and looked for the files he wanted to bring to the office. Upon discovering, he returned to the living room and still looked at the same two men as if throwing hostile gazes at each other. No, not Elrich but Raymond.

Abrine realizes Raymond hasn't trusted his decision on this marriage.

"Ehem...." Abrine cleared his throat for a moment. "If you are still at home even want to continue staring at each other here, please go ahead. I have a lot of business." Abrine passed after saying those words.

Elrich and Raymond both pursued Abrine's steps. But in order to stop Raymond, Abrine was forced to wrestle on Elrich's arm, making the man gasp in shock.

"I'm going with El, are you going to follow us, Ray?"

Raymond snorted softly. He did not know Abrine for two days, he knew that Abrine's attitude was a form of protest to him. Abrine is making her jealous and the girl is succeeding. It felt like Raymond broke Abrine and Elrich's hand link right now, but of course he couldn't.

"I'll talk to you again at the right time and place" Raymond said, staring at Abrine. "Excuse me.." he continued then completely passed.

Abrine took off his circular hand in Elrich's arms. "Sorry," he said slowly.

Elrich smiled obliquely. "What's wrong, we're using each other, aren't we? There are times when I will also use you like this in front of my father later," he said confidently.

"All right, I know that."

"Who is he?" Eventually Elrich also asked Abrine who Raymond was.

"He's the man I love."

Hearing that somehow Elrich felt like slapped, sick and hot. What's wrong with her? Hasn't his relationship with Abrine not even begun yet?

"Oh...." Eventually El could only oh ria.
