A TWISTED MIND'S
Chapter 23

I woke up feeling a head so dizzy. I grimaced noticing the pain in both my arms and my jaw.

What the hell's going on?

I tried to open both of my heavy eyes. My eyes adjust to the light that looks not too bright.

I tried to get up and pull my body to sit but it was hard. Scroll my hand, there's an infusion hose attached there.

I looked around, I was sure I was in the hospital right now.

My heart breaks to recall the incident I experienced when I last met the Ocean.

Who took me to the hospital?

Was there a good man who helped me and brought me here?

I will be very grateful to him and will repay all his kindness.

Chequek...

I looked at the sound of the door opening. Even though it hurt, I pulled a blanket over my face. I'm still afraid, I don't know who it is, whether it's a man or a woman. I'm not wearing a hijab, I don't want my hair to be seen by a man who isn't my husband.

"Sister Venus is awake?"

A female voice greeted me, but I did not recognize her voice. I opened the blanket that covered my face. I squinted my eyes, I seemed to have seen it before but I don't remember when and where.

"I'm Febby, brother, I'm the doctor who assigned Brother Sam to take care of sister Venus." He said as if he understood the question that was in my head at the moment.

A little disappointment approached me. It turns out Sam brought me here, which means I'm not out of it yet. Shouldn't he let me die?

"I'm Sam's maternal cousin. We've met before, maybe Venus' sister has forgotten, but about a year ago we met at the Supermarket, I walk the same way brother Sam and sister Venus walk the same way as her male friend." Her impression introduced herself and tried to remind me when we first met.

I nodded, I remember. It turns out that my guess was wrong at the time. I think she's one of Sam's girlfriends, but she's a doctor.

"How's brother feeling?" He tried to attract my attention.

"Alhamdulillah, fine." It was her turn to nod.

"I checked my brother first, yeah" he said to me and then pulled down the blanket to my belly button.

After doing a medical checkup on me, he returned to tidying up my blanket and then chose to sit on the chair available on the side of the bed.

"Sir Venus breakfast first well, here I help!" Soft talk. He stood up to help me sit down.

"Thank you." Saying slowly. Even though he treated me kindly and gently, I still could not shake my fear because after all he was a close family of the Ocean.

He was about to bribe me but I refused. "Let me, doc! Thank you." Thank you." I took the lunch box in his hand.

I grimaced because my arms were really hard to move. Maybe because it was too long tied to the position of the hands behind and I tried to get out of the bathtup but failed until I finally tired myself and lost consciousness.

I don't know how long I've been here. I wanted to ask but I was sad.

This girl named Febby is quite stubborn and forced, just like her cousin's sister.

"If it still hurts don't force it." He said he took back the food box in my hand.

After a few mouthfuls, I already felt like I could no longer swallow. "Enough, doc! I'm full already."

Doctor Febby then kept the food box containing the porridge on the nightstand and gave me some water to drink. Back he patiently and painstakingly helped me drink with a straw.

"Now take medicine well, brother. If you take your medicine regularly, maybe tomorrow you're cured." Dr. Febby took a few pills of some kind and helped me put them in my mouth. "Drink one at a time." Its effects.

"Thank you." Only that word can come out of my mouth.

"From this moment Venus continued to thank me. That's my job from Sam's brother. So whatever your sister's complaint or something you want to do, don't hesitate to say the same to me."

"I don't know what the problem is between you, I don't justify the violence that Sam's sister has done to you, but if Venus doesn't want to be in big trouble, then, sister Venus do not argue let alone oppose brother Sam. Brother Sam is good, he is loving too. He couldn't have done this if Venus's fault could still be tolerated."

My tears are wet on my cheeks. Not that, doctor Febby doesn't know what happened to him between us. I just want to disappear from here.

"Sister Sam will never let go of something he claims to be his own. It's a waste of Venus's efforts to get out of here."

Doctor Febby is getting the wrong idea. I am nothing to the Ocean, and vice versa.

"Did Sam not say anything to you?" I don't think I'm being formal anymore. Including mentioning the name Sam with the frills of the father.

"Sister mean?"

"We're not lovers, I'm just the employee." I said trying to straighten Febby's mind.

"Sister Venus do not dodge, where might brother Sam be worried that even give all the best facilities following tight guard by his bodyguard outside if the sister Venus is not the woman he loves?"

I shook my head, it wasn't because he loved me, it was because he didn't want me to run away.

"If I say that I stole from him do you believe?"

Febby seemed confused by my question.

"Indeed what you steal, the money is a lot, the assets are a lot, he will not fall into poverty if you steal from him. He wouldn't be angry if the one who stole from him was the woman he cared about."

I shake again. I think Febby's gone a long way.

"Where did you draw the conclusion that I was the woman he loved?"

"Don't you remember when we met at the supermarket?

I'm nodding.

"The look in his eyes never left my brother. She doesn't like to see her big brother walk with other men. So angry, he could leave me there to chase after Venus and make sure Venus's sister returned safely. All ages, only that time brother Sam let me alone when all this time he was very overprotective to me. If Sam didn't love Venus, why would he do that?"

"You're wrong.. Sam never loved me, there he kept punishing me, swearing I even accused me of being a cheap woman. If he likes me, he shouldn't do that?"

"Sister Venus is wrong, that's exactly how she shows her feelings. A proud and arrogant man like Sam's brother would not easily confess his feelings. That's why he's looking for a way to keep having a reason to interact with his sister."

I rolled my eyeballs. Febby was really getting further and further into his thinking. I was lazy to respond to it. It's up to what's on Febby's head.

What I'm thinking about right now is how to get out of here. Maybe I can use Febby.
