Secret Denis
Sixty One

Alex blinked his eyes that were glazed by the light of the lamp. He saw the clock curled up on his wrist. It's three o'clock in the morning. The thunderbolt that echoed made him wake up from his sleep. Apparently outside the rain fell heavily.

Alex opened his eyes even wider. Denis is not there. Alex got up from the chair he was sitting in. Showing the view throughout the room. There was no one but him.

In a panic he headed for the bathroom door. Knock it while bringing his ear closer there. He called Denis name over and over again. Unmindfully getting an answer, he opened the bathroom door with a single stomp. Turned empty.

Alex is out. In the chair waiting to see Faisal lying while hugging his body.

"Faisal! Wake up!" He repeatedly shook Faisal's body.

"What's up, sir?" Faisal rubbed his eyes in a semi-conscious state. His life has not been fully collected.

"Denis isn't in the room. Did you see him?"

"No, Sir. I'm going to sleep."

"Gee!"

Alex rushed to the nurse's desk. There's no one there. Maybe the nurses were sleeping in the room. Alex ran down the hospital hallway until he was on the front page.

The pouring rain made the atmosphere even more dramatic. The cold was no longer felt by Alex. The focus now is on finding Denis. Feeling said that Denis left the hospital secretly and he was still around the place.

Alex runs through the rainwater tight down the quiet, dark streets. The shadow of someone in front of it was highlighted by a mercury lamp making his steps faster to get to him.

"Dennis!!" His cry was carried away by the sound of rain falling nonstop. The lightning flash illuminated the dark night sky. The figure in front of him stopped and turned towards him.

Alex's steps came to a halt just a few steps before the girl. Yep. She's a girl. At this time Alex can see the shape of his body wrapped in clothes that are covered by rain water. Just this time Alex realized that the sturdy figure he suspected the man turned out to have a body shape like women in general. Although not very significant.

Alex stepped slowly with his eyes fixed on the dark manic. Their distance is getting closer because Denis is glued to where he stands. The rain soaked the faces of the two, but did not blur their eyes.

"So, this is what Denis I've known all along? He is nothing more than a coward. Who always runs from trouble." Alex yells to beat the rain. His eyes were sharp not a second away from Denis's eyes. "I used to salute you. I think you are a very strong and tough person. Facing life with passion and never giving up. But it turns out that it's all fake. I just found the real Denis. Denis who can only escape and never want to face the real life."

Less than a step apart separated them. Denis silently listened to the screams from Alex's mouth. His eyes stared at Alex's dark eyes. Lips shudder. Either holding back the cold or because he was holding back his own feelings.

"Now where are you going to run? Denisha Nathania?"

Denis. A step back in surprise to hear the man say his name. For so long no one has mentioned that name.

"Why? You surprised? Isn't that your real name, hmm?" Alex steps back and Denis is hypnotized by the look in the man's eyes. He was glued to where he stood.

Alex's eyes diverted to Denis's trembling lips and turned a little blue. It seems that girl is very cold. Sure oes. It's early and they're under heavy rain.

Alex pulls the nape of the girl. He scooped those lips with his lips. It channeled the warmth and emotion that was so overwhelming in his soul. One of his other hands was wrapped around Denis' waist. Squeeze the back of the girl's shirt.

Denis' body froze. His eyes opened wide looking at Alex's face that was no longer at distance with him. His hands hang on both sides of his body.

Alex let go of his pagutan when it felt like his breath was almost cut off. Stare for a moment at Denis's eyes and then make a second attack.

Denis pushed the man's chest. But it had no effect and did not shake Alex's body. Until then Alex removed his lips, but did not keep them away from them. His hand still felt firmly clutching Denis's nape. Her warm breath was hunting down Denis' face.

"You've driven me crazy and now you want to run away from me? I'll never let that happen." It's in front of Denis's lips.

Denis pushed back Alex's body with his right hand.

"What you doing fucking." Denis's hand slapped Alex's cheek. But not powerful enough because their distance is too close and also probably because Denis' body is drained due to an impromptu attack from Alex's lips. His voice trembled as trembling as his wet lips were drenched in rainwater.

Denis' hand then felt his shoulders pulsating and came back to bleed.

Alex saw that.

"Let's go back to your room." Denis' hand was drawn regardless of the girl who still felt shocked because of Alex's kiss. As if he did not have the strength to refuse, Denis followed Alex's steps.

Faisal who was standing there immediately made a phone call to someone.

"Get me some clothes for Alex and Denis."

*****

Denis sat on the edge of the hospital bed watching the nurse's hand putting a bandage on his wound. There is no trace of pain. His face was so flat with no expression.

After the drama under the rain, they change clothes brought by Alex's men. Long enough to wait but unabated finally they can dry their bodies and replace them with comfortable clothes.

Denis still looks awkward but he tries his hardest to look ordinary in front of Alex.

"It's over." The nurse who changed Denis' bandage smiled sweetly and tidied up the equipment he had just used. After that he said goodbye and came out of the room where Denis was treated.

Alex, who had been standing next to the bed, watched without missing a second. He approached Denis. His sharp and deep gaze felt so intimidating. Makes Denis feel more wrong.

"Why do you care about me?"

Alex took a breath. His eyes closed for a moment.

Alex touched Denis's hair on the front. Denis moved his head avoiding Alex's hand.

"You knew? I'm so happy to know you're a girl. All this time, I was desperate and thought I was crazy. You don't know how depressed I am with my own feelings. That's why I've lost control of myself."

Their bodies are facing very close distances. The position of Denis who sat on the edge of the bed and Alex who was right in front of him, making Denis breathing a little tight. Especially when Alex put himself between the two thighs Denis open.

"Gue doesn't understand what you're saying."

"But I feel that you can feel what I feel."

"Gue doesn't understand. Never mind. I'm sleepy. Move away." Denis pushes Alex's body closer. His cheeks had been flushed due to the heat caused by the proximity of the two.

Alex backs off and lets Denis lay down his body.

"Don't ever leave me again, Denisha."

"Lo crazy."

Rania arrived at the hospital in the morning. Accompanied by Andres he enters the room where Denis is being treated.

A big smile greeted Denis who was sitting in the chair while wearing his jacket with the help of Alex.

"Good morning."

"Good morning." Only Alex said it. Denis only glanced at the glance of the person who had just entered his room.

"You all right, baby? Why are you dressed so well? Where you going?" Rania looked at Alex. Looked at him for answers.

"Tante, Denis feels no need to be treated here. He wants to go home."

"But the wound?" Rania was surprised to hear Alex's reply. Denis looked worriedly at him. But what he looked at ignored him a bit. He ran his sight elsewhere.

"The doctor said the wound could be treated at home."

Rania looked at her husband. Andres nodded his head and gestured for Rania to comply with Denis' wishes. Of course, what else he could do. After a long time of not meeting, this is not the time to have a debate with Denis. If everything wanted to be fine, one of them had to give up.

"All right, sweetheart. If the doctor allows it, we go home. We have a family doctor who can take care of you at home. My mom also prepared your room. Everything fits your preferences."

"sorry. But I won't come with you." Denis said in a flat voice. Along with that the door of the room opened.

"Sorrys. I'm late."

All eyes were on the door. Jack was surprised to find the room filled with perfect-looking people. It contrasts with the clothes he wears. Especially when everyone is looking at him. Jack looked at himself.

"sorry. But Denis called me and asked me to pick him up." Jack grimaced to find strange gazes from everyone.

Now everyone turns to Denis.

Denis just shrugged and grimaced a little when he felt his wound throbbing a little.

He walked over to Jack. Then slightly turned around and said flatly.

"Thank you for everyone. Excuse me."

Alex chases after Denis who has crossed the doorstep.

"Where are you going?" Pulling Denis' left hand and a slow groan was heard from Denis' mouth.

"Sorry." Alex took off his hand.

"Darling, I know you're still mad at me. But can't we talk for a second?"

Rania approached her daughter. His eyes were overshadowed by clear glass that was ready to break at that moment.

Jack scratched his non-itchy nape. Precisely his itchy lips want to answer a question that is clearly not addressed to him.

"Mh..Madam, sorry. Maybe now let Denis come with me first. Later if he feels ready, he'll definitely talk to you."

"That's it, baby?"

Denis slightly rolled his eyeballs. Feeling strange with repeated affectionate calls coming out of Rania's mouth. Never once had that word been said. Now I don't know what she meant by saying that to him.

"Yes. Maybe." Denis beckoned Jack to leave immediately. Regardless of everyone's gaze, they walked away and disappeared from the sight of the people behind him.
