It took Micah all night to strengthen his resolve to meet Gavin. Micah was afraid that his heart was not yet strong enough to deal with Gavin.
After all, Gavin had once carved a beautiful memory for himself. It has to end with something painful.
When the elevator door opened on the ground floor, the first person Micah saw was Gavin sitting down. His body leaned against the back of the sofa and his head was closed.
His face looked very tired and pale making Micah feel a little guilty. I don't know since when he was there until this early Gavin was waiting for him again. Or since last night he didn't come home?
Micah, it's impossible. Security is unlikely to let strangers linger there.
"Sister.." said Micah, shaking Gavin's shoulder slowly. But strangely, Gavin was not disturbed at all.
Is he sleeping?
"Wake up, brother."
Worried that Gavin would not respond, Micah held Gavin's forehead. Heat. Gavin has a high fever.
"Oh Allah, Brother Gavin. Brother Gavin has a fever."
"Hey!" Gavin's soft, slightly hoarse voice made Micah speechless. Gavin immediately confirmed his sitting position and smiled broadly at Micah.
"Lo fever. Since when is it here?"
"Not too long ago, anyway. But overslept because the head is so dizzy. But I'm glad you finally want to see my sister."
"Not having to torture yourself either. Strong path isn't it? We're up for breakfast just like we're taking medicine."
"Strong, really."
"Related?"
Gavin nodded confidently.
Although a little dizzy and nauseous when walking, but he strengthened his steps to follow Micah.
No matter how much Micah hated someone, he could not possibly let that person be in such a difficult and sick state.
Micah had to fight with his own ego and mind. Wanting to hate, but also not having the heart to see Gavin like this.
Arriving at Micah's apartment, Micah asks Gavin to sit at the dinner table.
Deftly, Micah prepared a plate of rice and its side dish for Gavin.
"There's only this. Ma'am Mia has not had time to cook," Micah said as he handed her a plate containing rice, fried chicken, and sauteed long beans.
"It's okay." Gavin smiled happily accepting it.
The white water alone would feel special if Micah gave it to him.
"What medicine do you usually take? I just have this."
Micah showed me some of his personal medicine. Liquid herbal medicine, dizziness medicine, heat-lowering.
And Gavin chose one of them for his consumption. Coincidentally it was almost the same as what he often drank when he felt his body was not doing well.
"Thank you, yeah, you care about your sister."
Hearing him, Micah looked at Gavin for a moment. "Sama-sama," he replied and put the drugs back in place.
"This rest_"
"Can we talk for a second?" gavin sela.
"Gue there's a lecture until eleven."
"Oh. Okay." Okay." Gavin's face looked disappointed to hear Micah's words which seemed to avoid a conversation between them.
"Can't you wait here? Please, Micah, you need to talk to you for a minute."
Micah took a deep breath and exhaled it a little rough. "Overall Lo. If you want to be here, I say the same Mia ma'am let him not come here."
Gavin smiled happily. "Thanks." -."
"Hm. I went to college first. You can rest anywhere as long as it's not in my room."
"Yes. Careful, yeah."
After being outside, Micah was able to exhale with relief. His heart could beat normally again after he had worked harder as Micah got close to Gavin.
Micah wants to fool himself for allowing Gavin to be in his apartment until he gets home.
Isn't this too much?
But Micah is also a human being. How could he possibly expel a sick person? Yes, if he survives until the place where he stays. If there is nothing on the road, maybe he will also later who will be bothered and feel guilty.
After all, Micah's intention from the beginning was to give Gavin time to talk.
***
During his time on campus, the strongest Micah was not calm. How could he be calm while in his apartment there was a man that Micah had been trying desperately to forget him?
"That's worrying. Why?" ask Ajeng. Micah's uneasiness made him curious to ask.
Micah shook his head. "It's okay. But I think I should take it home."
"Tumbens? Usually if the lecture is only until eleven you in the library first until late afternoon."
"The client went home. Studying at home. I want to put down."
"Haha, basic! Yeah, be careful, yeah."
"Hm. You also. Hye!"
***
Arriving at the apartment, she was greeted by Gavin who smiled broadly at Micah returning to the apartment.
Micah thinks Gavin's leaving. But he was really serious about what he said that he wanted to wait for Micah to come.
"Where's college? Smoothly?"
"Currently," Micah answered briefly.
"So Mia and Sandy came here for some food."
"Yes. I think you're better, huh? What are you gonna say?" Micah doesn't want to mince words anymore. The presence of Gavin nearby is not safe for his heart's performance.
"Who is that guy?"
"Gue never brought up Lo's life with the woman. You don't need to know who that guy is either. Besides, what did you do here? Don't appreciate the feelings of the girl? Enough of me that Lo is sick. Don't need a lot of girls that you're sick with either."
"He's just a friend, nothing more."
Micah laughed cynically. He could not believe that she was just a friend.
"Son't just ask him to pretend to be sister's boyfriend let you hate him."
Micah was surprised to hear it. "Make what? Why do you do me like that? You've made me hate you, brother. After Lo makes me feel like the happiest woman because Lo loves, Lo makes me hate Lo. Make what? Lo playin my feelings, brother. If you have never been serious in the first place, why do you have to make me love Lo? If Lo hadn't gotten me when I was Lo's sister-in-law, surely my life story wouldn't have been this, brother. I can be happy without tired of trying to forget Lo and the pain that Lo love."
Micah's anger peaked. His breathing was hunting because of the emotion he had just let out.
"sorry. Brother apologize, Micah. But brother was forced. Your mother came and begged your sister to stay away from you and leave you. Your mother does not allow you to fight by saying all the mistakes of your sister's family and also the mistakes of your sister who made you drown in the sea at that time."
Micah snorted cynically. "good. Now you turn on Mama I'm making a cover-up for the rottenness of Lo, brother. Our conversation is over here. I'm asking you to get out of here now, brother."
"Micha. But_"
"Gue doesn't want to hear anything anymore" Micah said.
Her tears could no longer be broken. After a long time harboring what he felt, he was finally able to reveal everything before Gavin.
"Why do you have to come back in my life to improve, brother? You shouldn't have to come again. Whatever the reason you used to admit it, I don't need to know. It's better than Lo coming in and my wounds are gaping wide."
"So, I'm sorry, Micah. Brother really loves you. Not even sister is willing to see you with another man."
"Go! Get the fuck out of here. This is the last one we met. I'm sorry, Lo. That's enough, right? I'm sorry, Lo. You can go now. Don't disturb my life anymore."
Micah went into his room and locked the door. Just leave Gavin.
