TRAPPED IN FORBIDDEN DESIRES

42. Delirious

I carry a medium sized bag. I came home about 2 hours ago. After cleaning himself, having breakfast and preparing a change of clothes for Dios, Sekarpun returned to the hospital. As he was about to press the door handle, a doctor came out of the room where Dios was being treated.

"Mother Caren has arrived? your husband is always calling your name. Maybe because his body temperature is still high, so Mr. Dios is a little delirious," said the doctor.

"Caren's? sorry my name is not Caren.But Sekar," said Sekar.

The doctor was silent for a moment. There was a sense of unease she mentioned the name of another woman, while Sekar was the wife of her patient.

"sorry. So who's Caren he called? maybe with his presence, Mr. Dios so quickly healed," asked the doctor.

"He's our distant brother." Answer Sekar origin.

"Yes, please accompany your husband. We've just taken a blood sample, and it'll be checked in the lab. It is feared that Mr. Dios has typhoid or dengue fever," said the doctor.

"Please" said Sekar.

The doctor walked away, while Sekar entered the room. Slowly approaching, and sure enough. Dios was still delirious about calling Caren's name.

"Carens. Honey, don't leave me again. Come back.I love you so much,"

The words were called Dios over and over again, making Sekar so frown.

"Dios loves Caren? Which Caren is he referring to? there's no way Caren's my friend, right? or the name of the ex-lover he loved was named Caren too? all this time I never knew his name," said Sekar Lirih.

But when Dios mentioned the words of the child, Sekar was shocked to hear it. I don't think he believes that the Caren Dios is the same Caren.

"Honey. Don't take our son. Take me with you too. Caren, I miss you so much" Dios' tears melted down her cheeks.

Closing his mouth, he cried. While she was in confusion, a nurse entered the treatment room, wanting to give Dios a medicinal ration.

"Susters. Can I ask you please?" ask Sekar while wiping his tears.

"What do you ask mom?" ask Nurse.

"I want to go home for a while.Please take care of my husband, someone is missing and that is very important," said Sejar.

"All right." Answer Nurse.

I rushed home because I wanted to make sure of something. During the trip home, Sekar thought hard and remembered something so that everything became connected. But Sekar did not want to conclude early. She did not want to accuse her husband before there was any real evidence.

After arriving home, Sekar rushed up the stairs, to go to his room. Sekar directly checked the closet to look for clues from all questions in his mind. But until all the contents of Dios' clothes were removed, Sekar found nothing at all.

Now check into the drawer, into the locker and under the bed. But I also found no clues. Sekar looks lethargic and sits at the bedside. But his eyes suddenly stared at a suitcase in the closet. Dios' suitcase the man had brought when he first set foot in his home.

Sreeettt

I slowly pulled the zipper of the suitcase. Honestly, his heart rate is very tight right now. He was so scared, what he thought a while ago was a reality.

I stared at a red box placed on the inside wall of the suitcase. Sekar grabbed the box, and found a necklace made of precious metal. In the box there is also a letter that is a little scrapped, but the writing in it can still be Sekar read.

How surprised Sekar, when reading the last words, the author of the letter named Caren Martadinata. Same name as the author of the letter to himself a few days ago. Sekar staggered limp, with tears in freefall.

Sekar recalled a flashback, during the meeting between Dios and Caren. Just then Sekar realized the gaze Caren gave her husband was a longing gaze, while Dios looked at Caren with a look of hate but longing.

"Oh my God, what have I done. I was always friendly with Dios. Caren must be feeling jealous and hurt. Now what am I supposed to do?"

"Eh? if the child Caren conceived was Dios's son, that means that child is my son too, right?"

Suddenly smiled. She was very happy, when she found out she could be a mother even though only mother continued. But when he remembered Caren had gone somewhere, Sekar so sad again.

"I'll just have to get the experts to investigate Caren's whereabouts. I'm old, and I'm not too old. Someone must continue my efforts, at least it's my son," said Sekar.

"But...."

Suddenly he breathed a long breath. He knew his age was not long. And he realized the marriage between himself and Dios was not like a normal couple in general. But no matter how strong he fortified himself, in the end he really had fallen in love with Dios the husband flocked. But as much as possible he hid his feelings from Dios, because he realized he was old and no longer exciting.

After pondering for a long time, Sekar decided to return to the hospital. Now his feelings are quite relieved, because everything stored is finally revealed. Now he's just thinking about how to find Caren and unite Dios with her.

"Dark. You have to be age conscious. You just need Dios to take care of you until you're dead. Dios doesn't love you at all. Her heart belongs to Caren, you can't be selfish. At least you did it for the sake of your child, "inner Sekar.

After taking almost 30 minutes, Sekar finally arrived in a sick rash. Dios' consciousness has improved.

"Where have you been?" ask Dios.

"home. There is something I have to make sure of ", replied Sekar.

Dios frowned when she saw Sekar's eyes were a bit puffy and red.

"You why? cry out? why?" ask Dios.

"I nangisin you, because you've been aware of it for a long time." Answer Sekar origin.

"Come here!" said Dios who was directly approached by Sekar.

Dios grabbed Sekar's hand, and placed it on his cheek.

"I'm sorry I worried you" Dios said.

"No problem. Just don't be frequent. You can make me die quickly, because I worry too much" said Sekar.

"not anymore. I've improved a bit, you just set me home today" Dios said.

"Don't be stubborn. Obey doctor. Doctors say at least you should be treated for 3 days, or until your condition is really good," said Sekar

"Ah..all right," said Dios.

I looked into Dios's eyes. The look that made Dios' forehead shrivel.

"What's wrong?" ask Dios.

"It's okay. Get well soon." Answer Sekar.

It turns out Sekar still can not dismantle everything at this time. It may take Sekar time and courage to discuss Caren's problems with Dios.

To be continue...🤗🙏
