They Say, I'm a Liar

the end of Evelyn's story

“Mas Ivan is in that car, Mba,”, Qeiza said as she showed him the car she was riding with her husband.

Evelyn had wanted to go berserk with Qeiza. He refused the money given to him by the woman. But, Evelyn realized, she desperately needed money. He also needed a Qeiza.

While Qeiza, the woman tried to obey her husband. After giving Evelyn the money, she had to get back to the car.

However, Evelyn's exclamation stopped her steps.

“Help me Qei. Help me,” Evelyn.

Qeiza of course stopped his steps.

“I don't have a decent place to stay, Qei. I live near a garbage dump. I also had to beg to eat and pay for treatment. Help me, Qei.”

“Wear the money to find a decent place to live, Mba.”

“Home rental fee is very expensive Qei. This money is enough for one month. Can't you be kind to me, Qei? I've been so kind as to give Ivander to you that you can become a rich mistress. Don't you want to return the favor to me, Qei?” Evelyn. The woman deliberately pushed a little at Qeiza. He was sure, Qeiza would be willing to help him.

“Good, Mba. Mba can live in my old house. Mba does not need to think about the cost of rent. I'll give the house to Mba. Later, I'll order catering every day. So Mba doesn't have to think about food. The hospital will also help me,” said Qeiza.

Evelyn's face suddenly appeared. The woman finally breathed a sigh of relief. He will be free from that slum. More than that, he will be free from the shackles of Danu.

“But, can't now, Mba. Ivan will definitely ban it. Tomorrow, unbeknownst to Mas Ivan, I will return here again. We meet at Ten o'clock yes, Mba.”

Evelyn nodded her head. Qeiza also said goodbye to her former mad brother. Ivander had seen the strange gurgle of his wife. The man knew Evelyn must have asked his wife for something. And of course the kind-hearted Qeiza could not possibly resist it.

“Ask what he is?”

“Ti-don't ask anything Mas,” replied Qeiza nervously.

“I know him very well, Qei. He couldn't possibly waste the opportunity to take advantage of one's kindness. And I also know this wife very well,” Ivander said as he pinched his wife's nose.

“I'm just asking, make sure he doesn't come back into our lives. If you want to help her, please help with a third party. I won't agree if you're the one who intervened.”

“I just want to provide a place to stay for Mba Ev. It's okay, Mas?” ask Qeiza.

“Yakin, only provide a place to stay?” ask Ivander. Qeiza returned to hear the husband's question. “Either why, I'm sure that you want to make that woman stop begging,” he said again.

“I feel sorry to see Mba Ev begging in the streets like that Mas. I want to provide shelter and food for Mba Ev. He no longer had to beg. I also want to provide health insurance for Mba Ev. Poor Mas, the disease can not be cured.”

“Everyone makes it do it. I don't want you to directly interact with him,” Ivander asserted.

The smile of Qeiza expands. She thanked her husband for allowing her to help Evelyn. At least, by helping Evelyn, the guilt that perched on Qeiza was slightly reduced.

Having been the third person at Evelyn and Ivander's wedding, somehow grew a sense of guilt in Qeiza. That guilt, even lingered in his heart until now.

Meanwhile, at the hospital pharmacy, Danu was still queuing up to redeem Evelyn's medicines. The woman had to pay dearly for all that she had done for the woman. He waited a long time in the hospital. Evelyn had to satisfy him many times, tonight. That's how Danu thought. The man was already planning to ambush Evelyn at dawn tomorrow, in the woman's room. Danu had even remembered what time Evelyn had been in the shower, and she had already planned to go into Evelyn's room while the woman was in the shower.

Danu smiled to herself. The man imagined himself eating Evelyn under a brightly lit room lamp. The man would more clearly stare at Evelyn's clear skin. In fact, just by imagining it already makes the man desire. He can't wait for tomorrow morning.

Almost two hours Danu waited for the drugs. Finally, a woman dressed in all-white called out Evelyn's name and handed Danu some medicine.

What diseases do women who always satisfy their desires? Why does she have to take this much medicine? Even the woman said she would die if she did not immediately redeem these drugs.

Curiosity that dwells in his mind, makes Danu finally ventured to ask the pharmacist.

“Why are these medicines so many yes Sus?” ask Danu.

“Father didn't hear my explanation huh? The drugs given to Miss Evelyn were only one..For the rest, this is a multivitamin to boost his body immunity.”

Danu grinned. The woman's accusation is true. He did not pay attention to the explanation given by the nurse.

“Indeed these medicines and multivitamins, for what diseases is Sus?”

“Mother ready patient? How not to know about the patient's illness?”

“I'm her new husband Doc. Just married two weeks ago,” Danu said. The nurse looked surprised. Danu could see that expression of surprise.

“Why Us Sus?”

“Father, I really do not know about the disease that infects my wife?”

Danu shook her head, “me that I asked Sister. If I had known, I wouldn't have asked.”

“Sorry if my question offends. Are Father and wife active in sek'sual relations?”

Danu returned grinning. “Every morning you do it, Sus,” he replied. The nurse from the pharmacy seemed to be more surprised.

“My advice, I immediately do a complete health check.”

“Complete checking? Is my wife's disease contagious?!”

Danu panicked when she heard Evelyn had a contagious disease. What disease is it? What disease is it that makes Evelyn's clear body become very thin?

“Your wife has third stage HIV AIDS, Sir.”

Danu was struck by lightning when she heard of Evelyn's illness. HIV AIDS stage three. The man's knee was limp so he couldn't keep his balance. Danu recalled Evelyn's words the first time she entered her body.

Welcome to hell.

So this is what Evelyn meant by hell. He had entered the woman's body many times. It is likely that he contracted a disease that has no cure.

“Basic ja'lang! You passed the dangerous disease on to me! You want to kill me apparently!”

While gripping the medicine that had just been given, Danu gushed his foot. Approaching the woman who had ensnared him.

With her eyes lit up, Danu approached Evelyn. The man immediately pulled Evelyn into a small, deserted passageway, not far from the hospital. Danu then gripped the woman's neck tightly. Evelyn thrashing. The woman coughed because she couldn't breathe. Danu also threw Evelyn's head against the wall while tightly strangling her.

And, that evening, Evelyn exhaled her last breath in the hands of a man who had already made her a beggar.

While Danu, upon seeing Evelyn die, the man took all of Evelyn's money and cell phone. Taking his motorcycle, Danu was rushed to leave the hospital. Leaving Evelyn who was already stretched stiff.
