Secret Denis
Ninety Four

Davin banged on Denis' bedroom door while shouting his name. After a while there was no reply from the room, Davin immediately opened the door of his brother's room.

Denis lay with his body on the bed. His hands almost touched the floor. Davin shook his head at the behavior of the older brother like that.

He approached the bed and shook Denis' body slightly strongly.

"Dennis! Woyy up!"

Denis jerks. He opened his eyes.

"What the hell? It was noisy," he asked in a hoarse voice. She actually fell asleep after her argument with Alex this morning. He hasn't even come down for breakfast.

"People in a panic call you, you're even delicious molor here." Davin pulls Denis' hand out of bed.

"What's wrong? Why's he on my call?" Denis lifted his body. Sitting at the edge of the bed while normalizing his gaze.

"Alex accident. That's if you still care about him."

"What??" Denis jumped in shock. He stood with his eyes wide open. "Lo again prank me?"

"Well, why would I want to do something like this? You don't care about him, do you?" davin said in a satirical tone.

"Where is he now?" Denis grabbed his jacket and put it on in a hurry. Take the shoes and wear them in a panic.

"Where are you going?" davin asked still in a quip.

"Davin, you're not kidding me anymore, are you? You know what the consequences are if you mess with me?"

"But Alex didn't want you to meet him" Davin said.

"What else is this?" Denis straightened his body after successfully putting on his shoes. His eyes were staring at Davin. "Then why did you wake me up?"

"Gue just wants you to be ready, who knows this is the end of Alex's life and you never get to see him."

"Davin!! Keep your word." Denis pulls Davin's shirt on his chest until Davin staggers forward. "Tell me where he is now."

Davin raised both hands up to see Denis who was beginning to look emotional.

The hallway of the hospital felt so long for the person who was in such a hurry. It felt so far from the parking lot to the IGD room where the lover was treated.

Denis hastened his pace. He's very panicked. After what Davin did to her in the room, fortunately Rania called and told her the truth.

It's true Alex had an accident. It happened shortly after Alex left Rania's house for her office. And one of the same things that Davin said, that Alex really did not want to be met by Denis. He asks Rania to keep her accident a secret to Denis.

It just makes Denis like a person who lost his mind, driving his bike at high speed to the hospital with mixed feelings erratic. Davin offers to accompany him to see Alex, but Denis ignores him as if he does not hear Davin's voice calling him. Davin was really worried when Denis darted with his bike.

In front of the room where Alex was being treated, Faisal appeared to have just come out of the room. He closed the door and was a little surprised to find Denis suddenly in front of him.

"Mas.eh Denis?" Faisal turned to the door that had closed then looked at Denis who was preparing to open the door to Alex's room.

"I want to see Alex." Denis grabbed the door handle, but Faisal immediately held it as if he did not allow Denis to enter.

"Why? Are there any guests inside?" asked Denis while looking at Faisal full of investigation.

"none. But Mr. Alex advised that mas.eh mbak Denis not allowed to enter," said Faisal with a little doubt.

"What's? She said that?" Denis's eyes widened. With Faisal's hand still attached to the door handle. "Surge!"

With a single jolt Denis opened the door and entered the room where Alex was without concern for Faisal.

"Mas Denis, uh mbak..!" Faisal scratched his temple, puzzled that he could not prevent Denis from breaking into the room.

Denis was stunned to see who was there. A beautiful girl is helping Alex who is trying to get off the hospital gurney. His hand was holding Alex's hand to lead him down.

A nurse was tidying up the tape she used to care for Alex. There seems to be a small wound against Alex.

For a moment Denis's eyes met Alex's eyes that turned towards him. He seems to be pretty ordinary when he sees Denis. He made no attempt to remove his hand from the girl's grip.

Slowly Denis approached the two men.

His mouth was tightly clenched despite the many questions in his heart that he wanted to raise. Alex turned towards Faisal without any concern for Denis presence.

"His car ready?" ask her flatly. Faisal scratched his temple and glanced at Denis like he was feeling bad about the situation at the time.

"No, Sir. I'll prepare now. Just go to the lobby." Faisal rushed out after saying that. It was better for him to immediately run away than to be in a situation that felt extremely stressful. Denis is silent. He could see that Alex didn't seem to need hospitalization because his injuries weren't too serious. Denis was so grateful for that.

"Come, Mas. I'm helping you." The girl brought her body closer to Alex's to support her walking. But without suspecting it, Denis pulled the girl's hand a little rough.

"Who are you?" the girl asked a little unwillingly as her hands were forcefully pushed out of Alex's body.

Denis did not answer. He holds Alex's body leaving the room with no rejection from Alex. The girl followed their steps from behind with a slightly pouted face. But of course Denis and Alex didn't see it.

In front of the hospital lobby, Faisal was waiting with his car. He immediately opened the back door of the car wide for Alex.

"I want to sit in front of you, Faisal." It was Alex's first sentence since they came out of the room where she was being treated. His tone sounded cold and flat.

Faisal almost closed the car door to comply with his employer's wishes, but Denis immediately held him to remain open.

"After a while" Denis said, pushing Alex's body into the car. Alex said nothing. He got into the car with his mouth shut.

After Alex enters and sits down, Denis closes the car door and turns to enter from the next door.

"Lo's? Why did you get in this car?" Denis stared intently at the girl with Alex who had raised one leg in the car.

"I'm gonna take Alex home."

"Who are you?"

"I'm Rinda.."

"Gue ain't no name for lo." Denis broke into the girl's body and got into the car. Closing the car door regardless of the girl.

"Road," he ordered Faisal. Next to him Alex just shook his head slowly without saying a word.

Behind the car, the abandoned Rinda stomped her feet in annoyance.

On Faisal's journey recounts the chronological events that led to Alex's accident.

"It looks like Mr. Alex was out of focus while driving his car, just now. Fortunately, Miss Rinda was able to avoid it, so she did not have a fatal accident" Faisal said.

"Is the wound serious? Why can I go home?" ask Denis. Of course he asked Faisal because Alex closed his lips from talking to Denis.

"There's something to worry about. The doctor had checked it earlier," Faisal said as he glanced at the back seat. She smiled slightly as she looked at Alex who was ignoring Denis.

"Who was that girl?" ask Denis when they're in Alex's room. He followed Alex to sit on Alex's couch. Faisal had already returned to the office and had previously told someone to pick up Denis' motorbike which had been left in the hospital.

"You heard that. Name's Rinda. Why?" ask Alex flat. His eyes were deep and cold looking at Denis's eyes.

"Ga nothing.." Denis put his face away from the man's gaze.

"He's Reno's friend. He was always after Reno" Alex explained. "Why? Are you jealous?"

"Ga. Why are you jealous."

"yeah. Of course you won't be jealous. You have no feelings for me. That's why you always wanted to get away from me, right?"

Denis turned his head quickly, looking at the man who was smiling bitterly at the corner of his lips.

"And what are you coming for now? You shouldn't care about me anymore."

Denis' lips docked. His gaze was dark and foggy and could not be separated from Alex's gaze. Alex's words just hit his heart. His fingers squeezed his palms tightly.

"Are you asking me to leave now?" the question is a little shaky.

"If that's what you want" Alex said, throwing his gaze in another direction.

"Your marriage is two days away."

"That's if the bride wants to marry me."

"You said you wouldn't give up even if I asked you to.."

"I changed my mind." Alex interrupted quickly.

"alright. Then I'm leaving."

Denis got up from his seat and immediately left Alex a little flabbergasted at Denis' words. It was eager for his hand to grab Denis' hand and hold off the girl from leaving. But his frustration with Denis still trumps his wits. All he did was move to the window of the room and look down.

His lips smiled faintly as he saw one of his cars coming out of the garage with Denis driving it.
