TRAPPED IN FORBIDDEN DESIRES

15. Difficult to Sleep

"Ssttt"

Tap

Sister Dios hissed, as I began to clean her abdominal wounds. The wound was a bit deep indeed, until I myself was a bit afraid to see it.

Brother Dios caught my hand that I used to clean his wounds. It seems like he really felt pain.

"Hold a little, brother? or if not we go to the hospital" I said.

Brother Dios let go of my hand. And I started to clean the wound.

"Akkkh...."

Again Dios' sister screamed in pain, until the man let out tears. Seeing her cry, I somehow cried too. I don't know what I'm crying about. Is it because of the wound, is it because the man is crying, or what is it because of seeing the man's suffering that his wife ignored.

I don't feel my tears flowing to my flesh. But suddenly I felt a warm palm touch my cheek. I looked at the man, and the man shook his head.

"Never cry over another man, while you feel that your relationship and your husband are fine" Dios said.

"Why? if our relationship is in trouble, can I just cry over another man?" I was wiping my tears.

I saw Dios' brother shut up. He then turned his body around, and I saw that the wound behind his back was as severe as the front.

"Aren't you worried about infection? this is a lot of wounds, brother?"

"Quickly clean. Then treat it," said Dios.

I started to clean the wound. I heard no more complaints from her mouth, but I saw her clenching her hands to endure the pain.

"Thank you" said Dios.

"You better not wear clothes first. Let the medicine soak in first. I'm gonna go to the pharmacy to get some antibiotics. I'm afraid of brother's wounds infection,"

"Sorry to trouble you" said Dios.

"No problem. Oh yeah, where's the big brother motor?" I asked who didn't see the bike.

"In the workshop. A lot of it's broken." Answer brother Dios.

"Yes I've just gone online, ojek,"

I got out of the house and went home to get my money and my cell phone. After buying medicine at the pharmacy, I also rushed home because Dios' sister needed the drug so much.

I went to Dios' kitchen to get the man some water to drink. I found no other glass, other than the one from my house. I grabbed the glass and filled it with gallon water.

"Sister. This is the water," I said as I offered a glass of water and the medicine I bought from the pharmacy.

Dios started to blink her eyes. The man's eyes look red. Not only his eyes, his face was red. The reflex of my hand touched his forehead, and I felt the temperature was very hot.

"Well fever? do you not hurt brother infection? should we be more certain, we just go to the hospital? fear is even dangerous," I look very panicked at this time.

"So, wait here, right? let me call a taxi first," my steps stopped as his hand blocked my hand.

"Don't stay with me" said Dios lirih.

Again I saw tears coming from the corner of his eye.

"I'm not leaving. Brother take medicine first huh? who knows, a little short," I said.

Strange things happened between us, when Dios's big hands were unceasingly holding mine. The hand does not seem to be released. Until my hands are private, sweaty. After Dios fell asleep, the hand held it off. I also quietly went home, because I wanted to make Dio's sister lunch.

I then checked the drawers in my room. Lucky I remember, that Delano was always stocking up on drugs there. And I found there was a drug of thuggishness, which is suitable for Dios's current state.

After cooking, I brought my cooked Dios. And don't forget the fever cure, either.

Time showed at 12pm, when I woke her up for lunch and took fever medicine for Dios. I even fed the man, because his hand just hurt to move.

"Sister moved to the room. Just rest in the room. I'll go home first, brother?" my spoken.

"Eh? Caren's...."

"none. I just wanted to say thank you" said Dios.

"Take a sis." I answered while smiling.

I stepped out the door of his house and closed the door.

"I must be crazy. I could have wished that he would have stayed here and accompanied me to sleep" Dios said.

I opened my door. And I don't know why I'd rather be with Dios, lonely paripada at home alone. Tired, I lay down on the couch and fell asleep.

Time showed at 5pm, when I woke up. Strangely, when I first woke up, I thought of another man, none other than Dios. I still worry about that guy. He has his own wife, who should be worried about him.

I rushed to the kitchen. I don't think anyone can help him right now but me. His wife, who was supposed to be beside him, is now going somewhere. I decided to cook dinner for him and for me. And I went to Dios's sister's house, when the time showed at 7 p.m.

"Dark-tongued? did Dios' sister leave?"

I tried to press the door handle of his house, and it was open.

"Sister? brother Dios?" I called out his name in the dark.

I fumbled through the walls of the house, looking for a place to turn on the lights.

Cteekkkk

The lights were on in the living room, but I no longer saw Dios's sister lying on the sofa. I called back to him and when I met the room that I believed was Dios's private room, I knocked slowly.

Tok

Tok

Tok

"Sister. Is brother inside?" I called out to him while knocking on the door.

But no matter how many times I knocked, there was no answer from within.

Chequelek

I ventured, because I was so worried. And my worries happened. Dios is currently suffering from a high fever. His body even shivered.

"Ka-Kak why? let's just go to the hospital, yuk kak?" I'm holding her hand,"

Slowly Dios' eyes opened and again the man cried.

"Ca-Carenne. Cold," the word was so soft it was almost inaudible.

"Sister take medicine first? I've got a drug with me,"

I ran to the kitchen to get some water. I almost fell down, in a hurry.

"Summe the medicine, brother,"

I helped Dios half-sit, and the man took his medicine. I covered his shivering body. Sister Dios is currently still not wearing her clothes.

"I-I go home first, brother? hopefully the drug can help you," I said even though I didn't have the heart to leave Dios alone.

"Ca-Carenne. Don't stay with my sister" he said.

"Sister should call sister's wife. Tell him to come home. He should know how big brother is like this" I said.

"The phone number is off." Answer Dios.

"Huuuff.ahh..cold," Dios's body was still trembling.

"We go to the hospital, brother. It seems like my real brother is infected, "I'm worried about the man whose face is a little pale.

"Don't go home. Just accompany brother. Please...."

This is really a mental shift for me. I realized that his request was inappropriate. But he wouldn't let me take him to the hospital. He just wanted me to be by his side.
