Only Raised Children
31. Recurrent Disease

Alfian ran into his sister's house anxiously. Even he ignored Andi and Rena who were in the living room to see the state of his beloved sister.

In the bathroom, Alina looks like she's vomiting. Alfian immediately approached her and asked Rico to stay away.

Having no other choice, Rico retreated slowly. He stood at the bathroom door, looking at the state of his girlfriend who was still trying to vomit something out of her stomach.

"Darling, what's wrong with you?" alfian asked as he rubbed his sister's neck.

Alina shook her head in response to her ignorance. After waking up his stomach already feels very nauseous, his head also feels dizzy. He wants to call his brother or Rico, but unfortunately his phone runs out of battery.

After tuning music yesterday afternoon with her phone, the next night Alina forgot to charge her phone. His phone just died while he was sleeping. Until now he could only curl up on the bed and forget the state of his phone to contact his brother. Fortunately Rena and Rico quickly came, otherwise, maybe until now he was still alone in his room withholding pain.

"What did you eat last night? You eat chocolate cake?" ask Alfian.

He had a hunch if the nausea felt by his sister was due to eating chocolate cake. She just remembered that almost a year ago Alina had experienced nausea like this and it was because her sister was eating too much sweet food.

Hearing her brother's question, Alina sat on the bathroom floor. He stared at his brother and nodded his head slowly.

And sure enough Alfian's guess, it turns out the same thing again repeated after the incident one year ago before he began to possessive to Alina about sweet foods.

"How much do you eat?" ask Alfian.

Without making a sound, Alina pointed towards the bathroom wall. Behind the wall was a refrigerator.

Rico who had since noticed the interaction of the brothers then with his own initiative approached the refrigerator and opened it. She saw one of the two boxes of chocolate cake that Alina ordered yesterday. He immediately opened the box which turned out to only contain half of the chocolate cake from the state intact. While one more box Rico found on the dining table. Once it was opened, there was nothing left in it.

Rico brought the two boxes of cake and showed it to Alfian who was still in the bathroom. At the sight of that, Alfian could only sigh with an annoyed face.

"You ate too much, Al. My brother warned me to cut down on eating sweet foods. If you want, just a little. And what you eat is too much for your condition like this" said Alfian. 

Although he was very upset because of his careless sister, but Alfian's voice still sounded soft in the ears. No matter how angry she is with Alina, Alfian will never be able to raise the volume of her voice to her beloved sister.

"Sorry" said Alina softly.

Although Alfian never snapped at him or raised his voice, Alina was still afraid if her brother was angry with her. He had indeed forgotten his condition that could not eat excess sweet food. Last night he was really stunned because he was so tempted by the sweet aroma of chocolate that he missed so much.

Usually Alfian would always accompany him if he wanted to eat the sweet food, and Alfian would remind his sister to stop if it was enough. But last night Alina was really khilaf, she did not realize if the chocolate cake she ate was too much for her who advised to reduce sweet foods.

Alfian carried Alina's limp body towards his room. Not to forget he asked Rico to bring an empty bucket just in case Alina felt nauseous again.

"You should take a full break today. Forget about moving house, your health is more important" Alfian reminded.

"But, Bang. Alina's stuff is all packed. Not good also with Rico and Andi who have bothered to come here," cried Alina.

"Al, don't think about us. You just focus on your health."

Alina and Alfian stared at Rico who had just walked into the room with an empty bucket in her hand. He placed the bucket on the floor, at the tip of Alina's foot and then sat her body next to Alfian.

"Dude." Alina stared at Alfian expectantly. "Alina promised not to lift anything. Don't delay the move."

He really could not make the arrival of Rico and Andi who had good intentions help him become useless because of him. Both men are a great businessman, of course Alina does not want to make precious time both men wasted if until the move is postponed. He knew very well if just a second of the time they were sacrificing right now, was equal to the millions of money that would go into his account.

Initially Alfian still remained with his decision to postpone the move of his sister. She loved Alina more than herself and she did not want her sister to endure the excessive pain of forcing herself to move. But because Alina continued to beg him with such hope, Alfian was finally forced to agree to Alina's request. He really could not see his beloved sister pleading so deeply to him.

Not only did she not agree, Alfian also gave Alina the requirement for her sister not to do the slightest activity and let them the men who did everything. Alina did not refuse because with her condition like this, she could do nothing but just be a spectator among the three men who helped her at this time.

With Rena's help, Alina changed the clothes she had been wearing since last night with new ones. It did not take long, Alina again laid her body on the mattress after all her clothes were fitted perfectly.

"You're like this just because of chocolate cake, Al?" asked Rena in great surprise.

"Yes. When I was in Oxford, I often got stomach ulcers because of my poor diet. Maybe it was because I was first away from my parents, plus college assignments were piling up as well, so I ate more cakes and snacks to ward off hunger. While taking care of my S2 here, the disease started to appear. I don't understand what the doctor said, but he clearly said that I was forbidden to consume excessive sweet foods. Last night I completely forgot that I'd spent almost two boxes of chocolate cake and just realized it now."
