THE DOCTOR'S LOVE TRAP

87. Elder sister

Wildan ran along the corridor to the ICU. His eyes scanned all over. Before long, he found the room he was looking for. However, he is silent when he sees Abrine being carried by a woman he recognizes as Xander.p's lover

"Brine?" Wildan approached, trying to greet Abrine carefully.

Abrine gave the man a quick glance, he only let out a faint smile and then passed without any intention of explaining anything to Wildan about Elrich's situation in the room.

Wildan let out a disappointed sigh, but he remained grateful that Abrine was in good health without lacking anything. Nevertheless, Wildan could see the look on Abrine's face that was very hit and so sad over this incident.

Why does Abrine seem so depressed about El? Didn't they marry without any feelings?

At once Wildan also recalled a glimpse of the speech of his half-brother some time ago.

"You can't just deduce from your thoughts alone, Erland! It may be true, it was originally our marriage because of an agreement, but you never know what we've been through after actually being husband and wife."

"Have you fallen in love with Elrich's sister, Brine?" wildan murmured as if talking to the wind.

Wildan sat in front of the ICU. Want to visit but the time to visit the room has been exhausted and limited. Apparently he didn't come at the clock.

Wildan rubbed his face rough. Maybe the incident that happened to El is good news for the mother. However, as much as possible Wildan refrained from contacting Erika. He did not want the woman who had given birth to him to know about this.

Wildan walked in a hostile direction - aware that his presence in the hospital was just a waste.

Don't ask about his feelings at this time. Wildan was also hit. Yeah, he's been hit hard. Despite the strife between them all this time, El is still a big brother to him.

Along the way leading out of the Hospital area, Wildan pondered. The shadows of his childhood with Elrich began to pervade his mind.

In the past, they were very happy. Get along and share with each other. They were compact and always bought the same clothes by Edgar and Erika. Both parents did not even hesitate to spend enough pocket just to buy the same toy - so they did not scramble later.

At that time, Wildan, who was in the position of a younger brother and the youngest child, was always loved. He has a sister and a man. Elena and Elrich. His life feels complete. Perfect. His two brothers always succumbed to him who sometimes crybaby and impatient.

Then, everything changed. Sirna in a moment. At a young age, he had to be confronted by a big reality.

Edgar was not his real father. Erika had an affair with the driver and Edgar's confidant.

Edgar did not accept, of course. Erika was not cheating for two days, but for the rest of her marriage. Even before the two got married.

Edgar drove Erika away. But, Edgar was also confused as to how about him-the child who was not the man's flesh and blood. Edgar loved him.

Erika couldn't take it. The mother took her along because she felt she was her absolute right as her biological mother. Edgar could not refuse Erika's decision, because he felt he had no right to her.

Since then, Erika has always doctored bad things so that she hates the Edgar family including Elena and Elrich.

He used to be fascinated. Before actually moving to Indonesia, he even often quarreled with Elrich in the school area, because they attended the same place but different levels. That might make El hate her. He always looks for trouble with his brother.

He assumed Elrich had also expelled him and his mother. He doesn't know anything. His soul was still unstable at that time.

But now, the more mature he was, the more he could discern what was right and wrong. He knows the position. He knew his mother was guilty long ago.

For some reason, the corner of Wildan's eyes seemed to twitch imagining his past. Before long, his eyes heated up and let out tears.

The shadow of Elrich's body that was stretched stiff in the ICU room, haunting him. He's not a good brother to El. He never did anything that made his brother proud.

He's sorry. Although she and El love the same woman, El is still her brother. Although the blood flowing in their bodies is different, again .... El is still his brother.

****

Wildan gasped at the sight of Yemima and Abrine sitting not far from his place. Yes, today he came back to the hospital again to be able to see Elrich. He even came early in the morning to adjust to the clock.

Previously, he wanted to find a fresh breeze in the garden behind the Hospital. Because the clock to see Elrich is still an hour away. It turned out that he instead saw Abrine crying as he pleased while leaning his head on Yemima's shoulder.

"What do I do, Mima? El's situation is still like this and there's no sign he'll be conscious yet" Abrine said in a frustrated voice.

Wildan listened from his place. It looks disrespectful, but what does it matter? He also wanted to know the condition of the woman who still reigned in his heart.

"Patience, Brine.... El will be conscious. He's that strong. Don't forget to pray for it, and rely on God for anything." Yemima said a word of comfort to calm Abrine down. The woman stroked Abrine's back which seemed to shake.

Abrine speechless. His eyes looked distant.

A baby?

Degh's...

Degh's...

Degh's...

Wildan didn't hear wrong, did he? A baby? Is Abrine pregnant?

"One of them is, but.. but... there's something else," replied Abrine sounding tired.

"Another thing? What other things?

"Maybe I used to be very afraid of widow status. Maybe I can also take care of and finance my own son later. But now what I'm most afraid of is that I'm gonna lose the man I love."

"Yes, you love her, Brine..." Yemima nodded confirming Abrine's words.

Wildan shook his head weakly. Abrine has loved his sister. He had come to a meaningful conclusion regarding the woman's feelings.

Wildan decided to go back to the ICU room - Abrine and Yemima was still here to listen to each other.

"Sister...." Wildan looked at Elrich's face that was closed in the bed. That handsome face looked pale as if it was bloodless.

"I'm sorry, brother.." she said softly. I don't know, he doesn't know what else to say now.

Quite a moment of silence. Wildan took a deep breath and returned.

"I love you, brother. Even if you hate me I don't care. I'm sorry I had the intention of seizing yours brother, not just Abrine but everything you ever had I was jealous of. Again forgive me, brother."

".... wake up and wake up! Look your wife is so tormented because of this. Do you want him to continue to be sad like that?"

Wildan snorted loudly. He spoke to himself, whether El heard it or not. He doesn't care.

"Abrine's pregnant, right? You got her pregnant, so take responsibility, brother! Don't let anyone else take over that responsibility, including me!"

".... Therefore, please recover soon. I will only visit you here once. Because the next days, I'll see you again but not in the same room. Recover and take care of them, brother."

Wildan finished his words. Putting out all those sentences was enough to make her emotional. He also just realized it turns out he was really hit by seeing the body of the brother who was stiffened and connected with health support tools. It just makes it more intense.

While exiting the ICU, Wildan crosses paths with Abrine. He looked at the beautiful woman with a sad look.

From now on, he will accept the circumstances. He'll think of Abrine as his sister-in-law. Suppress his feelings deeply. El's situation in there enough to make him slapped, he did not want to occupy and take over the position of Elrich in the heart of Abrine.

"Have you seen it?" abrine asked in a soft voice almost whispered.

Wildan nodded. "You wanna come in?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Come in, I'm sure Brother El really needs your strength."

Abrine did not answer. He actually threw a look at the ceiling as if holding back tears so as not to spill.

"Brine, I hope you can be stronger, stronger and accept everything. I pray for the best even if you don't believe that."

Wildan also went away. He passed by wiping the water that fell in the corner of his eyes, but the determination within him was to take care of Abrine if something bad happened to Elrich, his brother.

Even so, he desperately hoped El would recover.

"I used to wish you were gone, brother. So I can replace you with Abrine. But after seeing you like this, I prefer you to recover. Besides I don't want Abrine to be sad, I can't be your shadow either. Abrine loves you, don't torment him with your situation like this" Wildan said.
