LET ME DOWN SLOWLY
Karina Help
Three days have passed, the condition of Gricella was slightly improved. Just staying limp, Bryan really kept his promise to the girl not to tell his condition to his parents. The infusion hose was no longer attached to his hand. The doctor just pulled it out yesterday.
Gricella has a reason why her parents can't know she's sick. It would make both of them more possessive towards him. Gricella could imagine if both parents knew, it was certain that both Naura and Sean would always be carrying around and would limit all Gricella's activities. Especially in the work.
During Gricella's illness, Devano and Chandra were always there for her. But not today, Chandra is unable to get to Gricella's apartment because she has to attend a meeting at her company. Therefore, Chandra asked Karina to come to see the girl.
Karina presses the door button of Gricella's apartment unit, before Gricella already knows that Karina is coming. Because Chandra told him first.
"Assalamualaikum," Karina said as she entered Gricella's apartment unit.
Meanwhile, in the room, Gricella only said softly to return the greetings from Karina. His body still felt very weak, but he tried to get up from his sleep and sat leaning on the headboard of the bed.
Karina enters Gricella's room, which Bryan accidentally opens, to make it easier for Gricella or anyone to enter the room. Sometimes even though his body is weak, Gricella often wakes up to sun themselves in the morning.
The two girls smiled as their eyes flashed. Karina approached Gricella with a few packages.
"How's Gricella's mother doing? Is it better?" ask Karina.
Gricella nodded slowly. "It's not better, not like a few days ago" replied Gricella.
"But it looks like Gricella's sister is still a bit limp, huh?" karina's question was only answered with a nod of the head.
Karina smiled, "Alright. Then I'll prepare lunch for Ma'am. After that take this medicine and vitamins," said Karina.
"Karina,"
"Yes!"
Gricella smiled faintly. "Can you call me brother? I feel like I'm kind of like being called Ma'am" Gricella smiled stiffly.
Karina was slightly stunned by Gricella's request, but it was only for a moment. Then the girl put on her cold, flat face, just like Chandra. Gricella is stunned to see Karina's facial expression, she forgets that the girl is Chandra's sister. It is only natural that they look very similar. On the side of Karina is very understanding of Gricella's wishes, maybe because Gricella was born in the city and Karina little know that the girl in front of her is long enough to live abroad.
Gricella realized what she was saying, she felt a little uneasy about it.
"Sorry, Karina. I didn't mean to offend you. It's just that I-I feel that the call is too old for me. While our age is only a few years different, right? T-but it's up to you" Gricella again chuckled bitterly.
Karina pursed her lips. "Alright, Brother. I'll call you Brother" Karina replied with a smile.
Gricella smiled, thinking it would offend or make Karina protest. But the truth is no, the girl did not bother about such a small matter. Karina also prepares lunch for Gricella and herself. While Karina prepared food for them. Without Karina knowing, Gricella quietly got up and walked while fingering the wall so that her body would not be unsteady. The girl wants to eat in the television room.
Karina was shocked when she saw Gricella who was walking staggering. He immediately put the dishes and drinking water on the table. Then help Gricella to sit on the couch.
"Why didn't you tell me you wanted to go out of the room? 'And let Karin help Brother, '" said Karina.
"It's okay! I just want to get used to it if no one else. You're busy anyway" replied Gricella.
Karina clucked in annoyance. "Don't be like that, brother. There's Karina here, don't feel hesitant to ask for help as long as Karina is in the apartment to accompany Brother!" cetus Karina's.
"Yes, sorry!"
"Why apologize? Brother did nothing wrong. I said so, because I did so sincerely in looking after Big Brother. So you don't have to ask me for help. I've also considered Brother as my own Brother,"
Gricella smiled and was touched by Karina's words. She did not expect that Karina would consider herself to be part of her family. Karina was so painstakingly preparing food for Gricella. Even the girl bribed Gricella until the food ran out. At first, Gricella refuses to feed Karina, considering that the girl also has to eat. But Karina answered with great firmness.
"I can eat after I bribe you, Brother. So no need to worry," said Karina.
Now it was Karina's turn to eat her lunch. Geicella smiled watching the way the girl sitting next to her was eating. At that moment, Karina turned into Chandra. Gricella shook her head while rubbing her eyes.
"Chandra," he murmured inwardly.
"Somehow I miss him so much" he added, muttering in his heart.
Karina was done with her lunch. Gricella realizes that Karina is in the kitchen. Before long Karina came after washing the dirty dishes they used to eat. Then the girl sat down next to Gricella, taking out the medicine for Gricella.
"Karina,"
"Why, Brother?" tanyakanya.
Gricella bit her deep lip a little, so she hesitated to ask Chandra. Karina raised one eyebrow, feeling that there was something that Gricella wanted to know.
"Is there anything you want to ask?" search Karina.
"Eh," Gricella a little flirting. "Eum, i-it .." The doubt came back to his heart and mind.
"What does Brother want to say? Is this about Mas Arlan?"
Jleejbb….
Karina's words left Gricella speechless, on target. Indeed, Gricella really wanted to ask about the person of Arlan aka Chandra.
Karina smiled, then tilted her body towards Gricella. "So, what do you want to know about Mas Arlan, hmm?" seductive Karina while raising one eyebrow.
Gricella looked down embarrassed, Karina chuckled at Gricella's behavior. Then he improved his sitting position.
"Just ask what you want to ask. God willing I will answer it," said Karina again.
Gricella breathed her breath. "I-I just wanted to ask you about Chandra. I-it's personal, and I hope you can keep it a secret from Chandra" she said, looking nervous.
"A-does d-he have a lover?" gricella.
Karina spontaneously turned to look at Gricella with her serious face. Makes Gricella feel bad and a little afraid that Karina will be upset with her. But that feeling was simply paused upon seeing Karina's smile.
"That's all?" karina asked and replied to a nod of the head from Gricella.
Karina chuckles small. "Mas Arlan's been in a long time, brother." Answer Karina.
"Last time he was dating back to High School. Since graduating Mas Arlan has never been seen close to a woman other than me and Mom," Karina added with a sad look.
Gricella was stunned as she looked at Karina's sad gaze. He could feel a deep wound that he knew what was really going on.
Karina smiled and looked at Gricella, even the girl's hand clasped tightly onto Gricella's.
"But when I found out that Mas Arlan was close to Sister Gricella. I don't know why I feel so happy. I hope Big Brother is able to melt the long frozen heart of Mas Arlan!" karina said softly and meaningfully.
"Karina," said Gricella.
Karin breathed. "Then, when Mas Arlan was in High School. He loves a girl named Kanza very much" Karina said with a soft face pias.
Degs….
"Kanza," Gricella's parrot in her heart.
Gricella brushed off her thoughts. "No, maybe it's just the same name. It wasn't Kanza who worked at my restaurant. Although I knew where Kanza came from," Gricella muttered again and fought with her thoughts.
"Kanza is Mas Arlan's first love" Karina continues her story of Arlan and Kanza.
Katina told me exactly what happened, without being exaggerated. Gricella covered her mouth with one hand. He knew what it was like to be treated like that, even more betrayed and humiliated in public. It's outrageous, Geicella thought. The girl was very upset with the attitude of the two Kanza parents who had insulted Chandra. Even the girl cursed the two parents whom she did not even know with insensitive gestures. But unfortunately it was only spoken in his heart.
"They have the heart, they shouldn't insult your family like that. If I had been there by then, I could've made sure they'd get the stone!" pissed Gricella.
"I feel so upset!" Gricella again grunts angrily when she finds out what the Kanza family did to her future husband's family.
Uh, prospective husband. Gricella gave a smile as she thought of Chandra as her future husband. Uh, she'll definitely feel very happy. Married to Chandra.
