THE FORTUNATES

PANIC OF KENDRICK

    All the way back to the Capital Kendrick looked very anxious, he could not even close his eyes. The journey that Kendrick had to take with his team was still about two hours with a medium to high car speed. Many times – times he glanced at the watch with a navy-colored skin strap on his left hand. Many times – times he also checked his phone screen goods times there was a phone call from his brother or Travis.

    “ Sleep Ken, we'll wake up when we get to the hospital. “ Said Clovis lethargic while glancing at the handsome face of Kendrick from the sidelines – between his seats.

    “ I won't be able to sleep Clo, is Laura as busy as it is today? Until he doesn't pick up or see Beatrice? “ Kendrick looks pissed.

    “ Don't you know your wife Ken? He wouldn't have asked for help if it wasn't urgent. “ Agile Clovis again.

    Kendrick increasingly looks frustrated, many – times he squeezed his hair rough. He also felt guilty for not being able to take good care of Beatrice after he brought Beatrice to the public.

    “ Clo? Could this be Leanist? “ Say kendrick arrives – arrives.

    Leanist, is the name for the fans of Kendrick Leandro both who joined as a fan club member and not. The – people who valued and loved Kendrick named themselves Leanist.

    “ Leanist? Are they that anarchist Ken? His taste is not. “ Refuse Clovis when hearing Kendrick's words.

    The man looked very tired then resuscitated his head on the back of the chair and massaged his forehead slowly while closing his eyes. But Clovis knew Kendrick wasn't sleeping he was just trying to cover up the panic and fear that was now enveloping him.

    “ Clo? Do I look so stupid? How could I be so deceived? How am I so mediocre that Beatrice can be attacked by them? “ Sound of regret from Kendrick's mouth.

    “ Go Ken, this is your wedding exam. You've been trying to do your best, Ken. Trust me, Beatrice will be good – fine. “ Clovis tries to dispel the guilt that seeps in Kendrick's heart.

    At one o'clock twenty minutes in the morning the black car driven by Evan was parked in the hospital yard. In a hurry – gesa Kendrick left his staff still in the car, he ran towards the hospital building while calling Hera.

    “ Okay Brother, I'm going straight up. “ His speech was brief as Hera had already notified the treatment room for Beatrice.

    The tall-bodied man pressed the button in the elevator impatiently, occasionally he was seen stomping – jerks his legs because the elevator felt very slow. When the iron door opened, he immediately rushed into the hallway – hallway of the treatment room and tried to find his wife's room.

    “ Ken? “ Call Hera when you see that handsome man coming into the room.

    Kendrick's face pias as he watched Beatrice lying weakly helpless with several bruises on her lips and one eye. Kendrick's eyes glazed over – glass as she watched some of Beatrice's hands covered with stitching gauze.

    “ Brother? Has a thorough examination been carried out? “ Urge Kendrick on Hera sitting next to Beatrice's bed.

    “ Previously done CT Scan scan only the results have not come out Ken. Tomorrow, your sister goes to see a doctor, and then let Travis take care of the report files and the cctv check at the police station. “ Connect Hera while rubbing Kendrick's shoulder slowly.

    “ Who reports to the police? “ Ask Kendrick while rubbing Beatrice's hair slowly.

    “ Sleep Ken, your work has been very solid the last few days. We'll be on guard here, Beatrice just fell asleep because of Ken's drug. “ Travis got off the couch across from Beatrice's bed.

    “ Why is there someone this half on Beatrice huh Trav? “ Sesal Kendrick while rubbing Beatrice's hair slowly. He looked at his wife's face, and the thin lip of Beatrice was also hurt.

    “ What if this is Leanist Ken? What are you gonna do? “ Travis asked Kendrick who was sitting on the bed where Beatrice slept.

    “ I'll keep processing Trav's law, I don't accept my wife being battered like this. “ Kendrick touches the soft hand of Beatrice poking over the blanket.

     “ Already Ken, sleep we will watch. I'm asking Clovis to postpone your schedule for up to three days for Ken. “ Travis pats Kendrick's shoulder softly.

    “ No Trav, I'll be on guard. Y'all sleep. “ Kendrick insists on keeping the helpless-looking Beatrice in bed.

     Seeing that Kendrick was forcing enough to make Travis and Hera give up, the couple then moved to the sofa and closed their eyes. Kendrick took over the seat next to Beatrice's bed. The handsome man unceasingly – his ceaselessly averted his eyes from Beatrice's pale-looking face. He also did not release his hand from Beatrice's fingers, so he wanted to make up for the – hours he spent without Beatrice.

     “ I'm sorry dear. “ Said Kendrick cleanly while peeping the back of Beatrice's hand.

    “ Ken? “ Beatrice's voice sounded weak calling Kendrick who looked asleep by leaning his head on Beatrice's bed, while his body rolled on a small chair that was right next to the iron bed.

     “ Dear? “ Kendrick was immediately awake from his sleep when Beatrice's fingers slowly touched the tip of his hair that still feels stiff because of the pomade that has not been cleaned.

    Kendrick hugged the body of Beatrice who was still lying on the bed with as slow as possible, she was afraid to make one of Beatrice's limbs hurt. Kendrick pulled her body from Beatrice's weak embrace, she looked at the crying beautiful woman.

     “ I thought, I won't see you again Ken. “ Isak Beatrice with weak.

     “ Never say like that baby, how do you feel? Where's yan akit dear? “ Kendrick stroking Beatrice's hair gently.

     “ Everything Ken. “ Beatrice still sounds sobbing.

    “ Do you know baby, who helped you? “ Kendrick said later, Beatrice simply nodded her head in agreement with Kendrick's question.

     “ If that attacks you? Do you recognize them, dear? “ Connect Kendrick again, and this time Beatrice shakes her head slowly.

     “ Ken, don't tell Mom or Kath if I'm like this. “ Pinta Beatrice with great hope. Kendrick's heart ached and hurt, as if hinting Beatrice did not want to make her parents worried. It's as if Beatrice doesn't want Kendrick to be blamed by her parents for not being so good at guarding and protecting her wife.
