TRAPPED IN FORBIDDEN DESIRES

89. The Same Disease

6 Months Later....

"Emm beautiful my wife," said Dios while hugging me who was staring at the mirror.

my stomach was bigger, making it hard to walk. Now I just found out, conceiving twins is harder than being single. My stomach was bigger than a normal pregnancy.

"Honey. Want to eat gudeg nih," I said in a slightly spoiled voice.

"About? didn't we just eat gudeg yesterday?" ask Dios.

"Gudeg yesterday feels special. There also provides many other culinary." My answer.

"alright. You get ready now, okay?" said Dios.

"Bless you," I soared happily.

I kissed Dios' cheek affectionately, and immediately changed my shirt to a super jumbo baggy outfit. I am not worried about the weight of my baby. Because we've decided, that I'll have a cesarean operation later.

"I think there are guests coming. You hunt down huh? I'll see who's coming" said Dios.

"Yes." Yeah." I answered while smiling.

I hurried to put on my clothes, while Dios immediately walked out of the room to see our guests coming.

Dios went down the stairs, and passed by the new servant who was about to call her.

"There's a guest, sir," said the waiter.

"Who?" ask Dios.

"I haven't asked his name yet. Nor have I allowed him in. You are afraid sir," said the waiter.

"Fearful? afraid why?" ask Dios.

"Standard's weird. Beggars are not, they are not, like beggars. Shabby, poorly maintained." Answer Server.

Dios did not respond to the Servant's remark, she immediately went down the stairs to confirm the guest. When Dios opened the door, she found the figure of a woman who was turning her back. The skinny body was wrapped in a robe and makeshift hijab.

"Who is mbak?" ask Dios, who made the woman turn around.

"Vi-Vika?" Dios was very surprised when he saw Vika's apprehensive condition.

The beautiful and plump face that women are often proud of first, now barely lives bone wrapped in skin. I don't know what happened to that woman, Dios wondered in her heart.

"Dios..hiks...."

Vika immediately fell into Dios's doldrums. While I was just coming down the stairs, slightly frowned at the sight of my husband being hugged by another woman. Quietly I settled down, because I wanted to know who that woman was and why she hugged my husband. But when I heard Dios say Vika's name, I was shocked. Because I didn't expect at all that Vika's appearance to be like that. What's wrong with her?

Dios slowly pushed Vika's frail body. He invited Vika to sit on the terrace chair.

"What's wrong with you? why are you being like this? are you sick?" ask Dios bertilubi.

"Yes. I'm sick to Dios. So hard I found you, because I just remember you saying open a business in Yogya. Plus I no longer have your contact number. Lucky that you've become a famous WO in this city, so I didn't have a hard time finding your whereabouts." Answer Vika.

"What pain are you? why is it this simple?" ask Dios.

"I'm HIV Di. Hicks...." Vika's reply left Dios very shocked and shocked.

Not only Dios, I also got goosebumps. Luckily Dios and I checked ourselves out, and we tested negative. If you hadn't checked, I might have passed out again like that.

"You got HIV?" ask Dios.

"Yes Di. That's why I came to see you because I wanted to tell you two things." Answer Vika.

"What thing?" ask Dios.

"First. I don't know when I might have contracted this virus. If it's been a long time, I'm afraid you've also been exposed to this virus Di. Although we rarely get in touch when we're married, we've done it a few times. You should check yourself out immediately." Answer Vika.

"Thank you, Vik. Thank God I checked myself about 6 months ago. And the result is negative" said Dios.

"What are you testing for? did you know that I've been infected with HIV?" ask Vika.

"No. Maybe you don't know yet, that Delano passed away 6 months ago." Answer Dios.

"De-Delano's dead? did he get HIV?" vika asked surprised.

"Yes. He's HIV positive." Answer Dios.

"So he died of HIV? so HIV people die fast? hyks...." Vika hysterical.

I feel sorry to see Vika. He seems very scared at the moment.

"Hey.calm yourself. Delano didn't die of the disease, he died of suicide." Dios' answer was enough to make Vika cry subside.

"You need to be patient. It's a test for you, even if it's hard," Dios continued.

"But I can't stand Di. I ran here because I was no longer accepted by the neighborhood people around my house. Not only them, but my family doesn't want to accept me. They say my illness is a disgrace" said Vika.

Again a bunch of fools. I was upset myself to hear it.

"So what's the second thing you want to tell me?" ask Dios.

"A. I know you're a good man, we've been together for over 10 years. I have no one else besides you. Do you want to keep me in your house? I'm your maid too it's okay Di. I just need food, and shelter until I die."

Vika's answer surprised me. I know very well of Dios's weak temperament. Moreover, there was already experience with Sekar first. He could at least bear to see others hard and suffering.

My breath felt up and down waiting for Dios's reply who was now silent. I was so afraid that his habit of not asking for my opinion was repeated. But really, when Dios did that again, I swore I would leave her without hesitation.

"Vik. I know your current difficulties. But I'm sorry I can't put you here. It's not that I'm mean or mean to you, but that I have children, wives and in-laws to take care of."

"I've done something wrong once, and I almost lost the one I love. I don't want to make the same mistake, just because I feel sorry for you,"

"But you can ask Caren's opinion first?" ask Vika.

"For this time I no longer need to ask for his opinion. I refused firmly. I don't want things to happen in the future. Which will destroy my harmonious household. I'm so happy right now, Caren's about to give birth to our twins,"

"So sorry, Vik, I can't help you. Although we have been together, but still we are ex-husband and wife" continued Dios.

I smiled behind the door when I heard Dios. It turns out that all my worries didn't happen. Dios has really changed, and really appreciates me.

"But we can help Vika to talk to people who understand,"

I came out of hiding, which made Dios very surprised.

"People understand?" ask Vika.

"Yes. For example we go to social services maybe? we're wondering with the authorities, maybe there's a shelter for people with similar illnesses." My answer.

Vika looked silent. While Dios looked at me with a smile.

"Caren's right. All problems have a solution. Even if there is no solution, I will buy you a simple house to live in. Later we will help you to find a treatment method that is usually done by people affected by the HIV virus," said Dios.

"I agree. Or would you like to stay in my house that I used to live with Delano when we got divorced? now the house is living, rather than no occupants, just mending brother who is waiting for the house."

"The house was very luxurious and was on the outskirts of the city. Brother need not worry, for fear that there are neighbors who bully you. How's it?" many enthusiast.

Vika looked at me and alternately looked at Dios. The woman then smiled.

"Now I understand. Why a good man's soul mate, get a good man too. Sorry Di, I forced you to accept me here, but now I am relieved that I have the solution. And it looks like I'm going to accept Caren's offer to stay at her house in J's town." Answer Vika.

I smile. And I'm very happy, because finally Delano's heritage house takes care of.

"I'll buy you a plane ticket to J. You can leave in the morning. For tonight, can Vika stay here yank?" ask Dios.

"Can." Reply steady.

"Thank you Di, Ren," said Vika.

"You must stay up. Many people are infected with HIV but can live a long time. As long as you are diligent in control, and obediently take medicine," said Dios.

"I understand" said Vika.

"Now we go eat out yuk? I'd like to eat gudeg, brother, "take me.

Vika nodded. And we went to eat together, and talked a lot with Vika.
