Secret Denis
Ninety

Alex promises to pick up Denis at ten in the morning. It is estimated that at that time his work was a little loose after a morning briefing with one part of his company. She has to make sure everything goes well before she takes her scheduled wedding leave to spend two weeks plus a surprise honeymoon for Denis.

He didn't tell Denis the plan was because he believed Denis wouldn't do it. It is conceivable how the girl's refusal if Alex expressed his desire to take Denis on a honeymoon.

At about eight, Alex called Denis. He said he was on his way to Denis' house to pick up the girl.

"You said ten o'clock, right? Why are you picking me up now?" Denis grumbling. He had just done some light exercise training his muscles which he rarely moved lately. The sweat is not dry if you have to take a shower right then and there.

"There's something unexpected. Anyway, now you're ready so we can go right away."

"What the hell is that? Seems serious?" Denis wiped the sweat that soaked his face and neck.

"Later I will explain. Now you're taking a shower, it smells up here, you know?"

Alex was still joking although it was clear that he was in a state that was not okay.

Denis threw his phone on the bed after Alex hung up. He then went into the bathroom to clean himself up.

Just as Denis was getting dressed, Alex's car entered his yard. With wide steps he entered the house and passed Davin who had just come down from the top floor.

"Where's Denis?" Ask without stopping his steps.

"Still in his room this time. What's in such a hurry? Is it kebelet?" Davin grinned to show his row of teeth neatly lined. Alex raised his hand to clasp the head of his sister-in-law as he stepped past Davin.

"But you are.."

Fortunately Davin was so quick to twitch that Alex's hand never hit his head.

"Eh.who knows you want to go to the toilet." Davin laughed. Alex just snorted in response to Davin's joke without stopping his steps.

Alex had not had time to climb half the stairs, Denis had emerged from the top with a neat dress. Yes, of course with his favorite stelan. Jeans and brown leather jacket overlaid with inner t-shirt. Her flap hair still looked a little wet making her face look very fresh. His sneakers squeaked as they touched the floor.

Alex stops his steps and waits until Denis gets close to him while looking at his lover in amazement. Plain face without make up. It looks very natural and beautiful.

When Denis steps closer to him, Alex turns his body around. They then walked down the stairs.

""What a hurry?" Ask Denis.

"Yes. We gotta hurry."

"What the hell is that? Where are you guys going?" Davin is still curious because he has not received an answer from Alex.

Alex stopped his steps. It seemed to weigh a moment before answering Davin's question.

"Reno's in the hospital."

"Reno? Why?" Denis looked at Alex.

"He fought with other prisoners. And.he got a stab wound on his stomach."

"What?" Denis was obviously surprised. "Is the wound serious?"

"Looks like. We have to get there." Alex immediately headed for his car followed by Denis who followed in his footsteps without asking again. Davin just looked at the two people passing by in Alex's car.

"Who knows you?" Denis asks pervertedly after the car leaves his house.

"The lawyer at the time, Mr. Arifin. I also had a meeting earlier actually. I'll just delay. The meeting was urgent." Alex stared straight at the road he was walking through. His eyes were implying a hidden worry.

"Is the wound bad?"

"Looks like. Mr. Arifin said Reno was taken to the IGD hospital. But he was afraid of losing a lot of blood from the wound."

Denis breathed. He touched Alex's shoulder and rubbed her gently.

"Patience, yes. You need to calm down. I'm sure your sister is strong. He'll be fine." Denis tries to calm Alex down.

Alex looked at Denis for a moment. He stared at the face that showed sympathy to him with a look that was difficult to interpret.

Alex looked back at the slightly jammed streets. Heart rages. Denis thinks Reno is his sister. He doesn't know the truth. He had no idea that he still had one more secret neatly stored away for many years.

The car carrying Denis and Alex finally arrives at the hospital where Reno is being treated. Several police officers were seen standing guard in front of the room where Reno was.

The lawyer in charge of Reno's case was also there. He immediately approached Alex and Denis who had just arrived. His hand was stretched out to shake Alex.

"Sir Alex. Thank goodness you've come." Mr. Arifin, the lawyer smiled with relief. He's been waiting for Alex ever since.

"How's Reno doing?"

"He's in the operating room. But there's a problem, sir."

"What problem?"

"He lost a lot of blood and needed blood as soon as possible. But the blood stock that Reno needed was empty. And we need to get that blood soon. Otherwise, his life would not have been helped."

Alex was stunned to hear an explanation from Mr. Arifin. So did Denis. His eyes looked at Alex with concern. He was very sympathetic to everything that happened to Alex. As if problems always come and go to the man who will soon be her husband.

"If only my blood matched Reno's I'd really like to donate my blood to your sister." Denis.

"How about we try to check your blood first who knows it fits." Alex looked at Denis expectantly. Denis nodded.

It didn't take long, the officer had already gotten the results from Denis' blood test. Reno is very lucky because it turns out that Denis' blood can be transfused to Reno.

Officers immediately took Denis to the room where Reno was. He will perform a blood transfusion directly to Reno who is still unconscious.

Alex continues to accompany Denis during the blood transfusion process.

He stayed by Denis' side. Gently stroked the girl's forehead which was wet with a hint of sweat. The hose is attached with a needle stuck in its upper arm.

"Patience, yes. It's a little long." Alex pulls out a chair and sits down next to Denis. If only his blood matched Reno, he would have given his blood to that man. But unfortunately, it turns out that Alex's blood does not match and Denis is now lying here with blood that begins to flow into Reno's body.

"If you want to go back to the office, go. I'm fine here by myself." Denis said as he looked at his girlfriend.

"No. I want to be here with you." Alex scoops Denis' fingers and rubs them slowly. His gaze could not be separated from the girl's face.

"But you said there was a lot of urgency."

"You're more important than all that."

"Gombal." Denis sneers. But his cheeks blushed and his eyes blinked a few times. Somehow he was so easy to blushing with sweet words thrown by Alex.

"Do I look like I'm kidding? I'm serious."

"But there's something more important than me right now."

"What?"

"Your sister." Denis rolled his eyes at Reno who was lying quietly next to him.

Alex followed Denis's eyes. There, Reno with her pale face and a regular sounding device dominated the atmosphere in the room.

Alex took a breath. His gaze turned back to Denis. His tongue was eager to tell Denis the truth. But his heart did not allow it. He felt it was not yet time for Denis to know everything. Let it be like this for now.

"You didn't tell her mother?" Denis asked again after seeing Alex just speechless.

"I don't think it's necessary. I don't want Tania's mom to be worried." With a heavy voice Alex answered.

"Are you not angry with him?"

"I'm still angry. But it's getting less and less. Never mind. Don't talk too much. Better save your energy."

"You're the one who keeps talking to me." Denis glanced at the cynical faithful man sitting beside him.

"yeah. You're funny talking. I like it." Wondered Alex out. His naughty smile looks terrible.

"Why is he still unconscious?" Alex asked the doctor who was examining Reno.

"We did everything that was best for him. All we can do now is wait. Please be patient and we pray for his recovery."

Reno has now been moved to the ICU. His condition that has not come out of the critical zone makes him have to be in the room until there is a miracle that makes him realize.

Denis was still feeling a little weak and he just sat down on the available sofa in the room.

The doctor came out after making sure everything was in its proper state.

Alex drops his body next to Denis. Distracting his attention from Reno's body to Denis who was leaning his head on the back of the sofa with his eyes closed.

"Do you want anything?"

"No."

"If so you sleep. Here." Alex took his seat. Patting his thigh told Denis to lay his head there.

Denis narrowed his eyes looking at the man.

"Come on. You need rest to restore your condition." Alex pulls the girl's hand. Denis did not refuse. His body leaned more and more and finally he lay down his body in a sofa with his head in Alex's lap.

For a moment the two stared at each other with parallel faces. Alex gently stroked the girl's forehead forwarded to the cheeks that were still a little pale.

"thank you. You've given Reno your blood." His eyes swept across Denis face gently.

"Not to thank. I should've done that. Even if it's not Reno."

"You have a very noble heart. That's why I fell in love with you."

"Start off." Denis rolled his eyeballs. Not that he dislikes romantic words from the man, but the truth is, he can't stand his ever-jumping heart as Alex expresses words of love to him. She also felt her face heat up every time Alex threw her seduction and sweet words at him. Denis jeng. He did not know what to answer to return the love from the man.

"Are you telling me to go to sleep or you want to keep talking?"

"alright. Now I won't bother you. Go to sleep, my beautiful future wife." Alex lowered his head, peeping at the girl for a moment. Then re-stretched his head and rested him on the sofa. His right hand hitched a ride over Denis' stomach and one hand stroked Denis' head slowly.

Suddenly a faint murmur sounded from the direction of the weakly lying Reno. Alex and Denis, who had just closed their eyes, opened their eyes and sharpened their hearing. Their focus was on Reno who was still in the same position when left by the doctor earlier.

"Pope.."
