OLEANDER'S OBSESSION
Won't Hold You Again

..."I'm sorry, I've been pushing my feelings on you too much. If you are not comfortable. I won't hold you anymore." - Rain...

...🌸🌸🌸...

Joey's face suddenly turned pale. "I mean, Om?"

"I'm glad you sent the first message to Nstagram Kale" Rain explained coldly as he let go of Joey's hand on his cheek.

Joey's speechless. How did the man know that he was texting Kale? He was confused and tried to think of what reason he should give Rain.

"Silence?" tukas Rain's. His eagle eyes stared intently at Joey, who was visibly blinded by his question.

"So right? Wanna go into her arms? And the offer she gave me was, so Sugar Baby is she?" timpal Rain is upset. Rain threw his face to the left.

"No, Om. Not really"

"Has it been lacking all this time? I told you, if you need anything, say it! There's nothing I can't give you!" Rain cut Joey's conversation in a stressed tone. The look on his face was completely gloomy and made Joey shudder in horror.

Rain felt dizzy and his chest felt sore. He raised his head to the ceiling while massaging the trunk of his nose.

"It seems, all the love and affection you said just in your mouth and not sincere. Haaaa.. I was really fooled" said Rain. Implied by the disappointment behind his words, he did not expect that the girl he loved was so willing to do something like this.

"I'm sorry, I've been pushing my feelings on you too much. If you are not comfortable. I won't arrest you anymore" Rain added.

Joey can't say anything. In his mind right now, he was eager to explain everything properly. But, isn't this a good opportunity for her to walk away from the man's life and no longer depend on him. After all, no matter how hard he tried, he would never be able to steady himself to be with the man. Their social status was both too shady.

Seeing Joey who is still silent and does not give any explanation, Rain concludes that it is true that his beloved Oleander never had the slightest feeling for him. All this time, the girl just wanted to return the services and feel awkward.

Rain lifts Joey's body off the top of his thigh. Then he sat the girl on the couch, then he got up and headed for the room.

BUKK!!!

A few seconds after Rain disappeared from Joey's sight, suddenly a sound fell from the room. Joey rushes up from his couch and runs into the room.

"Of!!!" scream Joey with a pale face. He was surprised to see Rain lying unconscious on the floor.

Confused about what to do, Joey rushed to the body of the man he loved and placed the man's head on his thigh.

"Omm?!!! Not funny!" curse Joey while holding both of the man's pale cheeks.

As Joey held onto Rain's cheek, he felt the man's body temperature hot. He put the back of his hand on the man's forehead. "God! It's a high fever!"

Joey drunk. He rushed to finish and dragged the man's burly body onto the bed. Then he called Harry.

Shortly after, Harry arrives at the penthouse with Brown and Doctor Robert, who are longtime acquaintances of Rain.

"Sir Rain has eaten since coming to the hotel?" ask Harry to Joey. While waiting for Rain to be examined by Doctor Robert, the two of them waited outside the room.

"Yet. Why is it Om?" joey asked while frowning.

"Huh?! Not eating from the morning?! She didn't eat anything in the office?" Joey was shocked to hear Harry say. How could the man not eat anything since this morning? What are the break hours she wears for?!

"What sesubuk hours of rest are not used for eating?" timpal Joey was curious as he snorted his breath.

Harry breathed heavily. "He's pushing himself too much."

"Forcing yourself?" joey asked confusedly.

"Yes. He arrived at the office a few minutes before the meeting. After the meeting, we rushed to the mall to look for rings and flowers and rushed to the apartment to pick you up" Harry said with a tired face. The reason is, the time now shows ten o'clock at night.

Joey was silent and unable to say anything. He was moved and felt guilty because he was the cause of why the man fell ill now. Actually, how important was his presence in the man's life? Even that guy prioritizes a girl he loves over himself? They were only close to a few months. For fourteen years, they never communicated or even met.

"Sir Harry, Ma'am Joey," called Doctor Robert out of the room after examining Rain.

Joey and Harry looked at Doctor Robert.

"She had soy sauce and stomach acid recurred," explained Dr. Robert. "He has to rest a lot and do not mind a lot first. I prescribed some medicine for him."

"I'll take the medicine to the pharmacy" Brown, who had been silent, offered to go buy Rain's medicine.

"Alright, then, I say goodbye" said Doctor Robert.

"I'll take you, Father" said Harry.

The three men head to the elevator and leave Joey. Shortly after the three men boarded the elevator, Joey headed for the room where Rain was lying weak and helpless. He sat next to the bed to the right of Rain.

Rain's pale, deep-sleep face was weak. This was the first time Joey had seen the cold and influential man's face was weakly helpless.

"It turns out, you're just like any other human being, too" Joey muttered as he gently stroked Rain's cheek.

Joey breathed heavily. Suddenly Rain's words shook his mind at this moment.

..."I'm sorry, I've been pushing my feelings on you too much. If you are not comfortable. I won't arrest you anymore."...

Joey's sight was suddenly blank. Is the decision already unanimous if you want to leave Rain? Then, a romantic proposal a few hours ago? Is that just a word?

"flower?" Joey suddenly remembered Harry's words. They had bought flowers.

Joey got up from his seat and rushed to the dinner table, he ran to it and stood stiff as he saw the romantic dinner table in the middle of the candle and there was a bouquet of white roses. The candle is gone and dead, while the white rose, has begun to wither. Likewise with steak that has been cold untouched and wine that is on the table.

"Yes, I need to wake up from this beautiful dream. Because dreams never come true." Joey murmured softly as he clenched his hand and bit his lower lip withstanding the pain and accepted the fact that he really had to get away from his life.
