THE DOCTOR'S LOVE TRAP

92. Back to the house

"Hows it? Are you satisfied to visit him?" Yemima threw a question upon seeing Abrine out of the room where Elrich was being treated.

"Huh! You're conspiring with him, Mima!" Abrine shook his hand before Yemima.

Yemima. "Sorry" he said.

After a short conversation, Raya and Aarav who were still there decided to see Elrich in the treatment room. Their steps were followed by Abrine and Yemima who also entered.

"Thank God El has recovered. Mama's really relieved to see you're sober, son. Mama's not feeling well because this incident caused you to end up in the hospital." Raya patted the back of El's hand and was warm.

"It should be, Ma. Don't feel guilty, yeah. It's also because of my past, I should feel bad for the Abrine family. And again, this is my risk of becoming a husband." El smiled warmly at her in-laws' speech.

"Thank you, El. You've taken good care of Abrine" said Aarav. In a sense, he had heard the chronology of the incident that night causing El to be impaled. Aarav also knows that El is trying to protect Abrine.

"That's my duty. Abrine is my responsibility to the fullest" Elrich said solemnly.

Abrine could only bow to the chatter between her husband, sister and mother.

"Yesterday, my mom went to see your dad at the hospital. His condition improved at that time. Perhaps now he has returned to the villa where he lived," Raya said in reference to Edgar-Elrich's biological father.

"Ah yes, thank you too, ma. I've made a lot of people anxious and even sick. I also have to trouble many parties," said Elrich unpleasantly.

"Don't do it, El. The events that happened to you no one wants them."

"Your sister Elena is still in Germany until you and your father recover" Aarav said.

Hearing that El was a little relieved that Elena was by Edgar's side now. He will be going to his father's villa soon if things are better and possible.

****

Two days after Abrine met Elrich at the hospital outside the city, El was finally allowed to go home.

Using a private helicopter owned by Theresia-they did not take too long on the way home.

Abrine's family also returned to Indonesia yesterday afternoon. So, tonight El was able to sleep in his own residence. Even so, Abrine is seen keeping a distance with her husband.

"You why?" El looked at Abrine in wonder. The wife shuffled away from her lying position.

"Nothing, I'm afraid to hurt you."

Elrich chuckled softly. "Didn't you beat me up the other day? Why are you so afraid to hurt me now?" ledek.

Abrine is weaving lips. "Already, rest. It's been the night and again we've been on our way long enough."

"You know not-"

"No," cut Abrine fast.

Elrich sighs loudly. "I'm not done talking, Brine. Can you not cut my words?"

Abrine finally nodded.

"You know, we've been separated for almost 2 weeks."

"Then?"

"Tonight I won't part with you again."

"What the fuck, this is also already together, right?" muttered Abrine as if talking to himself but actually he was responding to the speech of the husband.

"Yes, I mean .. tonight we go to sleep together. Didn't you say that you miss me so much?"

"That's...anu."

"Why? You don't want to sleep next to me?" Elrich raised his eyebrows and looked at his wife.

"It's not so, El. You know, how I sleep? Especially after I got pregnant my sleeping style got messy. I'm afraid your wounds will get hit by my punches or even my leg kicks." Abrine shook his head imagining that. "That must be really bad, El," he continued.

"No way," answered El sure."

"Why are you so sure?"

"I'm gonna hold you tight so you can't move anymore."

Abrine's face flushed to hear Elrich's blatant speech.

"How's it?" ask El again.

"No way." Abrine shook his head violently.

"Come, baby. I slept alone in the patient's bed for a long time. What after arriving at my own house and seeing my wife too - do I have to go back to sleep alone?"

"It's dry. Didn't you see it?"

"No, it's covered in bandages."

"God...willing to sleep with his own wife is hard for mercy!" groused Elrich as he pulled his hair back in a huff.

Abrine remained silent as if he had not heard her husband's speech.

"It's dry, baby, you can see it later when the bandages are replaced." Elrich is still trying to get Abrine to negotiate.

"Yes, the outside is dry. The inside is not necessarily recovered." Abrine.

"After all, we're just sleeping, not struggling. Why are you afraid of my wounds? Looks like your sleeping style isn't that bad" Elrich lamented.

"Here you go, now you sleep. Don't protest too much. Okay!" Abrine enveloped Elrich's body and turned on the sleeping lights that were near the nightstand.

"Good night." Abrine kisses El's cheek briefly, but El doesn't respond to it anymore. The man was already upset himself because of the wife's decision.

Abrine turned off the main light and closed the door of the room, he went out to sleep in the next room.

"Ah, what the fuck! Doesn't she know I miss her so much!" Elrich again grumbled after Abrine's departure.

Elrich even kicked the blanket Abrine had covered in his body.

Two hours later, Elrich was completely unable to fall asleep. He decided to get up from his position.

"If you don't want to sleep with me, fine. let me come to you." Elrich smiled obliquely as he exited the main room.

Clamps...

Thankfully Abrine did not lock the door to the next room. Elrich walked in and saw his sleeping wife curled up.

"This is true.." Inner Elrich chuckled. He began to lie down next to his wife. He even peeped at Abrine's cheeks many times and the woman looked completely unperturbed because of her actions.

"Good night my wife..." El landed a final kiss on his wife's forehead, then he began to close his eyes.

Kissing the scent of his wife's body that he so longed for made him even more sleepy and fall asleep.

The next morning, Abrine wriggled from his position. But he felt something was awkward.

Why was the bolster he was hugging as if breathing?

It even seems like the bolster has a regular rhythmic heartbeat.

Abrine pulled away, surprised of course. He realized that Elrich was already beside him, even earlier his position was that he was holding Elrich's head and buried the man's face in his arms.

Abrine shook his head. "God...this man.." his grunts were aware of the situation.

Abrine checked on Elrich's back, which had been injured. Abrine can breathe a sigh of relief because it turns out the bandage attached there is not dislodged and is still fine.

Abrine finally let El. There's no way she's nagging in the morning even when Elrich hasn't woken up, is there? Though he was eager to lecture this man who had walked here and there actively. Even followed him to sleep in the guest room.

Abrine looked at the man's shady face. He really is Elrich. The man who had been this for quite some time made her cry and hysterical. The man who also managed to make her miss someone so much.

Like a dream, El was now in front of him.

"I love you.." he murmured, as if talking to El who had not yet regained consciousness from sleep.

Abrine stroked El's forehead with his index finger, slowly the finger came down to touch the husband's pointed nose, and then down to the lips. Abrine's finger stopped there long enough. She stroked it slowly following the shape of her husband's lips.

Elrich woke up when he noticed something twitching on his lips. He knew it was his wife. He peeked a little but was reluctant to open his eyes blatantly.

"I'm sorry, El. Because of saving me-you have to endure this kind of pain. I promise I won't hurt you and let you down."

El heard his wife who was issuing heart in front of him. It seems to be El's new hobby now. Didn't he pretend he didn't know Abrine loved him? So now he just wants to shut up and listen.

"Never be jealous of any man again. I just love you, El."

".... let's live together forever. Take care of our children. Doesn't that sound like a lot of fun?"

Abrine chuckled softly. Then she moved her face and kissed her husband's lips.

Abrine wanted to pull away and stop himself, but, did he think El would just let him go?

The answer is impossible!
