"God ... It hurts, Al," I complained as Alan applied the ointment on the corner of my bleeding lip. Even though an hour had passed but the pain all over my body never disappeared. Especially on both cheeks. In that part it felt pulsating.
"Hold a minute, it won't hurt anymore" he said.
"Ahh, slow down a bit, Al," I asked.
Alan took his hand off my face. "Stop sighing, you're making me unable to concentrate" he said.
I looked at his frustration. "Who sighed, I did not sigh. You just put ointment on my face, do you need concentration?"
"Aren't you aware of what you're saying?" tanyakanya.
"What did I say? I'm just complaining of pain and asking you to slow down a little."
"You say ah, it hurts once, then ah again in a voice lurking like a woman making love. Are you unconscious?"
"Well, did I say that?"
"Yes. Did you do it on purpose to tease me?"
"Well, what am I teasing you for. You're not attractive at all."
"really?" Alan brought his face closer to me.
"What do you want?" i said, panic. It's getting closer. I retreated backwards until my body hit the back of the sofa. I'm trapped under his cage. Our faces were so close that I could feel her breathing hitting the skin.
Alan smiled smirked. "You don't think I'm attractive, but why is your face blushing? Isn't it because you're interested in me? I'm quite flirting, aren't I?" he said confidently.
Fucking kid. Your face and body are so close, how could my body not act.
"That's because this room is hot" I said, evasive.
"The temperature in this room is 16° C, I'm even cold but why are you even feeling hot?" whisper in my ear.
"Aac...." I squealed as Alan nudged my leg.
Alan moved his body back. He looked at me worried. "Why? Are there any injuries anywhere else?" tanyakanya.
I grimaced, enduring the throbbing pain. "I think my leg sprained."
Alan turned to look at my slightly swollen ankle. Then crouch in front of me. "Is that woman a boxer? Why are you hurt so much" he said, checking my legs.
"Hold on, it might hurt a little bit" he said. He started to stretch my legs. I screamed in pain. How could he say a little pain, this was not just a little pain but an excruciating pain. I wanted to cry because I couldn't stand it.
"It is, '" Alan said moments later. He stood up and sat next to me.
Thanks to his massage, the pain gradually disappeared, but not completely. Still hurts a little. "Thank you" I said.
"Is there still a wound somewhere else?" tanyakanya.
I'm shaking. "Nothing."
"What are you guys really fighting about? Why did he torture you to this extent? And also can't you fight back? Even if you can't fight, you should at least dodge when the woman strikes."
I didn't answer. Alan who was a nobody was so worried about me. He also cares about me a lot. Kevin doesn't care about me at all. He was more concerned with Alia than I was injured. I looked down, sad and disappointed mixed into one.
"That jerk is also why he helped that woman, obviously you're her boyfriend" Alan said. Look at any direction. I don't know why Alan was so upset. What happened to me has nothing to do with him.
"What do you mean Kevin?" ask me without looking at him.
"Who else if it wasn't her, wouldn't your boyfriend be just her?" saith.
"I don't understand your Kevin's way of thinking, do you understand?" tanyakanya. He looked back at me.
"Of course, Al, I totally understand."
"Why are you so calm, aren't you angry that your girlfriend would rather help another woman than you?" Alan looked at me as if in disbelief.
"The woman you're referring to is no one else, she's my sister. And my brother's Kevin's wife,"
"What!" Alan was wide-eyed, shocked. "What does this all mean, Alea? Don't tell me you're having an affair with your own sister-in-law." Alan stared fixedly at my face, asking for an explanation.
I disagree with his words. I'm not Kevin's cheating. Alia is the third person among us. Merely, Alia's status is now higher than mine. He was a legitimate wife on paper. As if I was the bully, but otherwise.
"It can be said like that" I said, admitting. Yeah, everybody must think I'm having an affair with sister-in-law. I'm an actor.
Alan got up from his seat. Then walked back and forth in front of me while shuffling her hair. "Argh, I think I'm going crazy" he said, groaning. Put both hands on his neck. Then look up with your eyes closed.
I looked at him confused. Why does it look so frustrating. Alan walked over and stopped in front of me. "What are you thinking, Alea. Why are you interfering with other people's relationships? Is that your own sister's husband?" ask her in a soft voice. Alan was crouching in front of me. Then I held both my hands. He's staring. "You're beautiful and smart, I'm sure a lot of guys admire you, but why would you choose a guy who's married?"
I looked at him, back. "If I say I'm innocent, do you believe me, Al?" my many.
"Thus ... You feel innocent?"
I'm nodding. "I'm not wrong, Al. Before marrying my sister, Kevin was my fiancee. Kevin was forced to marry her to preserve the family's honor. Kevin doesn't like Alia at all, he just loves me, Al. We love each other" I said, explaining.
Alan took off his grip. Then stand back up. "You're crazy, Alea," he said, angry.
Whatever you say, Al. Want to say, crazy or whatever it is I don't care. We were both silent for a few minutes.
"What are you gonna do next? Are you going to continue being his mistress even if you're already caught?" he asked, breaking the silence.
"A few months later, after my sister gives birth, Kevin will divorce her. Then I'll marry you."
"What!" Alan was back. He looked at me with a frown. "Is your brain empty?" ask her with a high voice. "You're really crazy, Alea. No. gabe. Not just you. That guy too. You're just as crazy, you idiots!" he said while leaving.
I gasped in shock as he slammed the door hard.
