Attracting a Heart-Captured Dragon
Chapter 26's
My phone keeps ringing and ringing, who calls on my day off like this? This is still at 6 a.m.. After seeing it it was my mom.. Trying to contact my mother back for fear of trouble with papa, but it turns out that all you say is want to talk to me and papa also told me to come to the hospital.. What's the matter? It seems very important for them to ask me to come, whereas every time I visit to see the condition of papa always expelled by them.. Feeling the emergency call then I immediately prepare and so will go seen in front of the terrace of the house car Serkan parked waiting for me..
“ Sorry I didn't mean to bother you, your mother called me to pick you”
Leave the car and open the door for Almira
“ Mama?”
“ Did something happen? He called me this morning and.”
“ Alright.. We go now?”
“ If you're ready”
Along the way, Serkan and I still feel awkward.. Is there no topic of conversation that can neutralize the current atmosphere? When I tried to turn on the music, it turned out that Serkan's hand was pointing to the same place.. When I tried to give money to a street singer, Serkan did the same thing.. What's wrong with both of us? Why did he and I just get to know each other with this awkward situation is so uncomfortable..
“ Almost forgotten, can you see on my phone? Your mother sent you something”
Hand out the cell phone from behind his jacket and give it to Almira
“ Your mobile? Me..?? ”
Almira who received the Handphone Serkan was full of confusion
“ Yes, open the code 241286”
“ It... Shopping list?? But, for what and who?”
Almira looked back at Serkan in confusion
“ I think you know”
Give a glimpse to Almira
“ Not at all..
Shortly after, my mother sent me a message, so that before coming here to buy all the needs written in the note on the phone Serkan it.. Why should it be with him? I can buy all this alone.. What do mom and dad really think? I asked about Serkan's activities today because if he was busy I would use an online vehicle, but Serkan agreed to take me.. We ended up going to one of the supermarkets and shopping as you needed.. As usual, many eyes looked at him this time.. Where and where he stood as if to be the starting point of the eyes looking.. Especially women who are the same as me or my age. But I saw Serkan completely ignoring them.
By shopping like this it turns out to create a tense atmosphere between me with a little melt, even occasionally when confused to buy goods because in 1 product has the same variety, the same variety, we argue like a newly married couple.. It was not the same thing that made us smile at each other.. Until finally on the last list mama asked for traditional food that is not available in modern supermarkets like this. Serkan who was confused while reading seemed to be trying to imagine how the shape of the food that made me smile to see it..
Because at night, both of our stomachs sounded because of hunger, we finally decided to eat at a tegal food stall or commonly known as WARTEG which also happens to provide traditional preparations.. Give up eating voraciously without seeing where and also how he is served while eating.. My mind immediately imagined where when we ate at a 5-star restaurant with a famous chef.. Even in his own home, he was well served.. Isn't this like a somersault? But this guy has absolutely no problem with that.
“ What.. You forced yourself to eat here?”
Almira said to Serkan while eating his food
“ Don't make my appetite go away because I feel annoyed”
“ Ma.. Sorry.”
“ My mother is not from a rich family like my father. Then when they married and gave birth to me, Grandma several times invited me to eat to a place like this”
Give him a moment to stop his food by drinking a glass of water
“ What?”
“ Even I was left a few days in an orphanage by him”
“ Really?? Is it because you're naughty, then..”.
“ This thought of you..!! My mother didn't want to because I grew up with all the advantages Dad gave me, I became... In essence, they very hard taught me to something like this”
Say Serkan who returned to eat his food
Yes, ma'am Farrah seems to be that type of woman.. Seen from the way he talked and his attention to Serkan and also Emre.. I don't know why I admire their family.. I think they're like the upper-class families in general and as I imagined.. But they turned out to be different.. It seems that if I have children later, I also want to teach my son like Bu Farrah but in my own way.. My eyes lead to Serkan who is currently eating food.. Even the people who were here until the owner of the warteg also looked at him.. I can tell you what all of them have in mind.. I enjoyed the view, it was like it was fun to see him eat like this until we finished eating and left..
I was driving in his place at this time to the hospital because suddenly Serkan felt pain in his stomach.. When he arrived at the hospital, it was seen Andre and Talita also visited Papa, then several times Serkan pleaded for permission to go to the toilet.. They all looked in confusion at Serkan but what I did was smile in front of them all.. Leave it out with a slightly pale look.. The direct contact made us all worry about him.. Mama and Andre try to find anything that can help him, Talita makes warm sweet tea for him.. After feeling better Serkan pleaded to go to the pharmacy downstairs to buy medicine. At first I wanted to accompany him but Andre arrived to embrace and bring Serkan to walk out..
“ What to send is okay?”
Mother's Speech to Almira
“ Indeed brother and sister Serkan eat what?”
Talita cleans the glass and gets a drink for Almira
“ Day... Curious want to try crackers with spicy god level.. And it looks like he can't eat food that's too spicy.”
“ WHAT?? Almira!! Why did you let him?”
Said Mom by hitting Almira's hand slowly
“ Mira don't know Ma.. Papa is weird too! Why ask to buy this, that.. Your mom contacted him too? So, what do Mama and Papa mean?”
Almira who felt a little annoyed with grumbling
“ Brother.. Can I talk outside? Mom, pa.. A minute yaa.”
Talita pulls Almira's hand out of the room
“Kak, don't get mad.. These are all Kak andre's ideas, last night after Andre and I visited Papa, we went upstairs to take you home together.. When we reached the reception room, it was very quiet, but suddenly we heard the voice of a man shouting to call the name of brother. Feeling worried we immediately ran into the room of the elder brother.. But then we stopped when..”.
“ You heard it? Brother Reza and Serkan the..”.
“ Yes sis.”
“ What is this?”
Mom came out of the room and stood in front of Almira and Talita
“ Talita.. Are you and Andre behind all this?”
“ Yes ma.. Excuse me.. But we mean..”.
“ Apologize to Serkan later
“ Yes ma..”
Talita who was embarrassed
“ And you too Almira..!! This girl!! Mature but still.!!!”
Mother suddenly hit Almira's hand a little hard
“ Oow.. The mira? What's wrong Mira, Ma...?”
“ You obviously love that guy! Need mama and papa to yell at you to wake up?”
“ What's mom..”
Almira who arrived suddenly fell silent like a statue and was so shocked
“ Papa and mama can see it from your view on him.. What's holding you back? Because mama see Serkan also already.”
“ No ma. Almira.. Too different for her, and she feels far away for Almira.”
Almira who cut off her mother spoke by looking at her mother
“ Mama and papa already know about your academic journal.. Lilian and kirey who tell the story.”
“ Listen Mama! Because only these 1x will talk to you like this. The greatest healing therapies are Friendship and Love. Hand over looks to get it all from you. That's what Mama saw! Mama go inside first.”
Mother said to Almira with a little annoyed by holding Talita with her
The friendship... And.. Of love? Without Sasdar I began a friendship with him.. I tried to help her because it felt like something was pulling me to dare to talk to her a lot.. Yes.. That is Friendship.. Then I don't know since the axe started to feel responsible for him.. Feeling sad for her even crying for her.. Even feeling empty when not looking at it.. That is love.. I did love him even long before he gave me the same feeling as I do now..
“ Sister mira? What's outside the room alone?”
Said Ander who just came back
“ Serkan? Where and How is he?”
“ Kak Serkan apparently has not eaten.. But, did he just eat spicy food? Now sitting limp in the lower lobby, have been given medication as well.. But it seems he should rest. So I want to say goodbye to mom for me.”
“ Andre please tell Mama, Papa the current condition Serkan. Then I'll take Serkan back to the hotel first.”
Almira pulled Andre's hand to stop him and immediately passed away
Run to the lobby downstairs, please, serkan looks increasingly pale and cold sweat but is still staring at the phone screen that looks the density of his work data that requires him to stay focused regardless of how he is currently. The feeling of guilt becomes more and more when you have to see it in this condition. Trying to help him with his cold body and sweat-soaked shirt, still Serkan refused to be examined further by the Doctor and preferred to rest in the hotel alone.. Ride her back to the hotel and help her rest in her room as if tidal cares for the eyes that look at us as we pass through the hotel's main lobby and go straight to the room.
“ Your shirt is so wet.. Why are you sweating like this.. Does your stomach hurt so much?”
Almira who helped Serkan to rest on the bed
“ Just rest. Sorry can you.”
Hand the one who turned his eyes towards the changing room
“ Which closet?”
Almira who understood and walked straight away
“ Existing glass, right near dirty” clothes basket
I picked up and handed Serkan 1 stel of clothes and walked out of the room to make him feel comfortable changing clothes.. There can't be any groceries in that fridge and it's impossible for me to cook here.. Finally I contacted the Room Service section of the Restaurant to order some food and drinks for him to remember the few times he went in and out of the bathroom.. While waiting for the food to come, I took the time to see Serkan's condition and he was still sweating coldly while asleep.. I tried to wipe the sweat and then came the memories when I looked after it first as if it was a full screen in front of me at this time..
In the middle of your work piling up, you forget your mealtime, and I know you don't seem like that kind of person.. Are you in a hurry because Mama called you to pick me up, and then was afraid I'd left first to drive my car? You're very smart and far-sighted, but you're also a fool.. What if I'm like Berguzar and use you back? Aren't you afraid to leave?
“ EXCUSE ME, ROOM SERVICE FOR MR. SERKAN.”
Said a hotel official
“ Aahh ya Wait a minute.... Thank you.”
Almira who ran opened the door and took the food trolly to Serkan's room
“ Almira, did you order food?”
“ Replenish your stomach even a little, your lips look very pale.”
Almira opened the food and took a little bit of the food menu
“ Why are you worried about me? I've been trying to keep my distance as you see fit for a few days. If it wasn't for your mom.”
“ The goodness of fellow human beings?”
Almira sat down next to Serkan and tried to bribe him
“ Alright. And also.. I thought my debt was paid off to you”
“ Debt??”
“ I promise to let you drive my car is not it?”
“ Seriously, are you kidding me now?! Why didn't you eat?”
“ I was working, and then I thought something happened to your father.”
“ Why are you so worried about him? As if you.”
“ My head is so dizzy to hear your chatter at this time.”
Leave to stop eating his food and fall asleep by covering his body with a blanket
I fell silent and walked over to close the door of his room while currently letting him rest.. Sitting in the middle room trying to contact Andre to tell me my condition and reason.. But as usual, the reply from the boy was very annoying, coupled with Talita beside him a complete combination to insinuate me. The atmosphere became very quiet at this time, very different from the atmosphere in my home that every day there are things that make the atmosphere feel crowded..
If you think back, is he always alone like this? Even when he was still in BPD condition, he still tried to suppress his feelings and thoughts. Can my presence really help him? Filling up the day? Actually, the question is for myself.. Looking at his position, his social environment, his family, his habits, everything about him.. Very different from me. Am I ready? Can I do it? I kept turning this question around a few times in my mind.. Until unconscious when trying to see the condition Serkan in the early hours, I fell asleep beside his bed with a small towel still trying to wipe the sweat on his forehead and neck..
“ mira.. Almira. Build”
Say a Draw that wiggles Almira's hand
“ What...? How's your condition?... Wait, why can I fall asleep in the samp..”.
Almira woke up and sat down beside Serkan
“ Almira.”
“ BU FARRAH..?! GRANNY..?!”
The surprised Almira immediately stood up and lowered her head
“ You.. Right here.. An overnight? With Serkan?”
Said Bu Farrah with a distorted look
“Ma..I'm sorry Mom.. Grandma, please don't misunderstand me.. Deliver pain so sa..”
Frantically looking Almira tried to explain
“ We know Serkan is sick, therefore we are here.. But. what is.. You been here all night? How is this Farrah? Hotel employees must have known, what if gossip spread back especially the wife of the owner of this hotel is your best friend?”
Said the Grandma who was sitting on the chair feeling confused and worried
“ Mom, Grandma.. Please send me not mem.”
“ Almira.. As you know, Serkan has come a lot and as a VIP guest must have business as well.. I am afraid there is news that is not as good to hear as the old times repeated again. and make Serkan..”.
Said Bu Farrah who covered her face with a handkerchief looking sad and agitated
" Mama, STOP."
Serkan who stood before Almira tried to cover it up
“ Aa.apa.. Then, what... Can I... do?”
Almira said a little ketakuta
“ ALMIRA!!”
Serkan snapped with a serious look at Almira
“ Marry Serkan asap.”
Grandma said to Almira
Silence petrified and unable to say.. Be married? A wedding? Serkan who was in front of me looked a little annoyed by lowering his head and scrambling his hair then his gaze turned to the window as if nagging indistinctly his mouth. As for me, with the gaze of Grandma and Bu Farrah who are still staring at me, I don't know what facial expression I give them at this time..
