Lily's Promise
Keeping Lily (2)

Nathan approaches the sleeping Lily, soaking the compress cloth back and putting it back on Lily's forehead carefully.

the closed eyelids look moving. His lips were murmuring indistinctly. Sweat drenched Lily's face.

"It looks like Bi Fatma was right. This kid's a nightmare! " Nathan muttered.

Nathan rubbed Lily's right arm.

"City. . Lily..! " Call her slowly.

Suddenly Lily flinched. He opened his eyes. His breath was hunting. Lily looked at Nathan who rubbed his arm slowly. Closing his eyes for a moment and breathing. Then try inching slowly leaning his back on the head board.

"Mas Nathan is still here? " Sanya while adjusting the breath. Nathan grabs Lily's fallen compress and puts it into the container on the nightstand.

"Nightmare? " Lily nodded.

"Where's Fatma? "

"On the front sofa, justin aja bi Fatma sleep first. Kasian, from earlier take care of you! you feel dizzy? "

Lily shook her head. "A little, more fever, not good. "

Nathan nodded in understanding.

"Sleep, get enough rest to be healthy. You were exhausted, yesterday just got sick, now sick again. "

"I couldn't sleep, from the last nightmare, my body became more tired and painful, the dream was real! " Lily's complaint rests her head on the head board. My eyes occasionally closed. Signs he's sleepy. But trying to hold.

Nathan took a glass of water in Makassar, gave it to Lily.

"Drink first to be calmer! " Lily received the glass and drank the contents up to half.

"Now sleep again!" Nathan's orders. Liky shook his head, and inched to the edge of the bed.

"I'm going to the bathroom!" Lily answered, she tried to put her foot on the floor, gathering strength. But just a step of his body was hollow. Luckily, Nathan caught Lily's body. The man stood up to see Lily awake.

"M-sorry mas! "

"No pa-pa, your body must be weak, I help you get to the bathroom! " Nathan immediately embraces Lily and helps her walk.

"Can you? " Task Nathan when he's at the bathroom door.

"Can! " Answer Lily slowly. He immediately went in and closed the bathroom door. Nathan's waiting at the door. Before long Lily came out with a slightly wet face, the rest of the water washed her face. Nathan helps Lily into bed. Nathan tidied up and stacked the pillows to get higher.

"Break some more, Ly! " Nathan said again.

But Lily instead chose to lean back on the head board. Nathan sat on the chair that Fatma put next to Lily's bed.

"I'm not sleepy, Nathan please go back to the room. Sorry, back to trouble. Thanks for helping me again! " Say Lily in a slow and hoarse voice.

"Don't Nathan have to go to the hospital tomorrow? "

"Tomorrow my afternoon shift, so the morning can rest! "

"You want to rest I don't pa-pa! "

"Aren't you comfortable that I'm here, Ly? or am I outside? "

"Not that, I don't want to take nicotine! "

"No bother, really! let me take care of you here! " Distracted Nathan. He pulled out his phone, rubbed his screen. Lily did the same. Nathan glanced at the girl. Occasionally his eyes blinked, Nathan knew, surely the girl's eyes would not last long staring at the cellphone screen because of the fever, but held it. Those eyes look withered and soft. Nathan waits, until Lily's eyes limit defense.

Lily flinched as the phone in her hand slipped off.

"You're sleepy Ly, what else you were also taking medicine, the effect for you more sleepy, you should sleep. Why is he arrested? " Task Nathan patiently. She moved to grab Lily's phone and put it on the nightstand. Close to his cell phone.

Yes, actually Lily was very sleepy, just in case, she was afraid to go back to having nightmares .

"I'm afraid of nightmares again! " She lily.

"Sleep, don't think about things you don't like, imagine all the fun things, keep bad thoughts Ly. Don't forget to pray first. I'll take care of you, don't worry, you can sleep well! "

Lily nods, she settles down, Nathan helps pull Lily's blanket over her shoulder. Lily closed her eyes. Try Nathan's advice.

"You can hold my hand, if it makes you more comfortable and calm! " nathan said, making Lily open her eyes again. He saw Nathan put his left arm on the bed. Lily glanced at him. He closed his eyes again.

Nathan closed his eyes, half-leaning on the chair with his left hand on the bed. I don't know how many minutes when Lily shifted her body grabbed Nathan's hand for him to hold.

The wall clock is 6.30am when Lily wakes up from her sleep. His body was still a little limp, but it was much better than before. Nathan was the first person Lily saw when she opened her eyes. Lily looked at his hand that was holding Nathan's hand. Nathan fell asleep with half the chair and his head asleep on the mattress with his left arm. Lily looked at the face that was asleep. Laying on the back of his hand in Nathan's hand. Lily woke up slowly so as not to disturb Nathan. Her body felt much better this morning, although it still felt a little warm. Maybe because he was able to rest well after the early hours of this day, he no longer had nightmares.

Lily went to the bathroom to clean herself up. When she returned to the room, Nathan was no longer in his position. Lily continued to step outside the room. There, in the pantry on the third floor of his room, Bi Fatma and Nathan were talking. There was a drop of water from the man's bangs. Looks like Natahan just washed his face.

"Non, breakfast first, keep taking the same medicine vitamins. I'm ready to eat breakfast for non Lily and Nathan! "

Lily immediately approached Fatma and Nathan.

"Ly, I say yes, want to rest first, because in the afternoon I have to serve! " Pump Nathan after the plate is clean.

"yes, my mom, thanks for the repotin! "

"Little Ly, do not forget the medicine and vitamins in the drink, enough rest, hopefully soon healed! " Say Nathan, then immediately step out of Lily's room.
