WOUND CURTAIN

Ten

Lea's pretty eyes slowly opened. Lea stared at the ceiling of the room which felt foreign to her. Lea really felt weak once even very dizzy. The smell of the drug lurks into Lea's sense of smell and Lea makes sure she is in the hospital.

Lea remembered before her consciousness was gone, Lea heard Rara's voice shouting her name. Questions arose in Leah's mind. Did Rara take him to the hospital? Did Rara find out about her illness? Or did Ketty even know about it? However, Lea is not ready if someone else knows about her weakness. Lea hates being pityed.

While daydreaming about who drove him to the hospital, suddenly the door of Lea's nursery opened and revealed the figure of David who entered his room.

"Om David?" Lirih Lea quietly. Lea was quite surprised to see David enter her room.

"Lea baby, are you conscious?" David asked as surprised as Lea.

"Om who brought Lea here?" Ask Lea curiously.

"Yes, Om wanted to monitor how Zefa works in the office but when he got there Om was surprised by the cry of your friend who asked for help" david answered explaining how he could help take Lea to the hospital.

"Where's Om?" Ask Lea again.

David who knew the meaning of Lea's question recalled what Rizal said. David breathed heavily. David doesn't even know how he explained it to Lea.

"Om how?" Reload Lea. Lea was so curious about what the doctor who was handling her explained. Though Leah was convinced that her condition was getting worse.

"You rest first, Om will explain later" said David distract Lea. David just wanted to muster up the courage to tell Lea what really happened.

"Lea to be strong enough to hear the bad news" Lea assured David. Lea just didn't like it if there was someone hiding about her true state. Whatever the results of the examination Lea doctor is ready to receive it. Even Lea still wanted to die in a miserable state that would make everyone regret all her treatment of Lea especially Aldi and Livia.

"You have advanced chronic lymphocytic leukemia. The heart cancer you are looking for has also entered stage 3. The doctor said you should have a spinal cord transplant as soon as possible. And it would be nice if the donation is from the family" explained David with a heavy heart. It was painful to say such a bitter thing to Lea who had a fragile soul.

Lea was surprised not to play when she heard David's statement. One deadly disease has not fully healed now must increase again with others.

"Om has to promise Lea, never tell anyone about this not even Brother Fian. This disease is enough we know nothing else. Even Lea won't have the spinal cord transplant" Lea said, holding tightness in her chest. Shortness this time is no longer about the disease that attacks his physical but the pain that attacks his fragile soul. Is this the path God chose for her? This bitter?

"No way Om would shut up Leah. You need that marrow. Even Om will look for anyone who has marrow that matches you. Om will try" said David who kekeh want to find all ways so that Lea can recover from his illness.

"Om think with those who want to donate all of it will make Mother love the same Lea? Om think Papa would want to take his time to accompany Lea? Don't you? Free!! Do not make Lea sick again by doing various ways for Lea to heal. Let it all go until God tells Leah to come home. Let Lea enjoy all this pain before Lea actually closes Lea's eyes" Lea sobs.

"If Om opens his mouth about this, then Lea makes sure Om will only see Lea's body lying stiff the next day. And one more thing, pretend that Om doesn't know anything about Lea in front of Abang Fian" threatening Lea does not mess around.

David never once threatened by someone and immediately fell just like that. But in front of Lea even David could not dwell or speak at all other than agreeing to whatever Lea said.

"DAD, WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?" Shouted Zepha who had just arrived in Leah's room. Zepha's screams were so tight that Lea and David closed their ears. And you can imagine how tight Zefa's yelling might be the whole hospital could hear it.

"Can't you scream?" Sewot David who was on the right side of Lea's bed stared intently at Zefa.

"Dad, Zepha was worried about the situation of Zepha's future wife" said Zepha, who seemed jealous to see David sitting right by Leah's side.

"Why did you come here?" Ask Lea lazily. Because if there is already Zefa can Lea make sure the room will never be separated from the man's chatter.

"Honey, I was told from my secretary who likes to hang out with her next door he said you were taken to the hospital. So I immediately told people to find out where you were being treated and I finally knew you were here, yes I have come straight here. Baby, if you're not feeling well, you can say the same to me so you can rest in my room. Don't worry me anymore, will you?" Answer Zefa at length.

Lea rolled her eyeballs lazily hearing Zefa's chattering that was too late. Zepha would always interrupt his days when Leah was wrong to help someone at that time. And it can be ascertained if Zepha is not a person who gives up easily. And that'll complicate the wiggle room for Lea.

David's material who served as Zepha's father did not expect that his son could be terraced like that. What David knows is that Zefa will act silly in front of his family and will be cold when dealing with a woman. And what now? His son became a love slave who crossed the line.

"So you're really getting married?" David asked seriously.

"Yes/no" replied Zepha and Leah differently.

"Who is right?" Ask David again.

"Me/me" again Zepha and Leah answered simultaneously.

"Denger ya Lo, crazy boss. I'm not a prospective wife Lo let alone ngarepin same marriage Lo. All of that is not in my life plan" ketus Lea who has passed by the middle.

Suddenly, Zepha put his face right in front of Leah's. Now the distance between Lea and Zepha is only 3 cm. Even Zefa did not care about David who was looking at her with his crybaby face.

"Likes not to like that we're tied together. And like it, you have entered my life and there is no way out" whispered Zefa.
