Both Helena and Elie were looking at each other. Exchanging thoughts through the look of their eyes, because the two handsome men were ceaselessly giving off a hostile aura. Helena becomes unwell, because she finds out that Arthur does not like her who is with Mikel. It was proven that the man had always ruined his plan to teach Elie a lesson.
Who would be willing if his sister was hurt by a man who was still with another woman. During this time both the media and the people closest to them know his relationship with Mikel, when the actual relationship with Mikel is far from good and harmonious. Mikel was always away from her, as she tried to get closer, but the man pushed her further.
Looks like I have to straighten things out before I get back to Paris, inwardly. Helena thinks everything happened because she always touted her relationship with Mikel.
"Why did you come here?!" Finally Arthur's voice first broke the inner debate through the look of their eyes.
Mikel gave a cynical smile. "Is there a ban on me coming to the hospital? This is a public place if you forget." Mikel's thin smile was full of ridicule.
"We don't need your presence. You better just go!" Arthur's cry made the two women gasp.
"You don't, but he needs me!" Mikel's index finger confirms that she is Helena, but her eyes are on Elie, the woman.
Of course Arthur misunderstands, not that their relationship is over and the man intends to approach his sister. Then what is this? Mikel insists his arrival here was for the woman, Helena.
"Unbelievable, you really are a cunning master player. But I won't let you!"
"Ck, who do you call a player? I'm not who you're accusing me of!" Mikel denied not accepting.
"Hey, stop. What the hell are you guys?" Elie stands to mediate Mikel and Arthur. I don't know where the two men never got along if they met.
"He started first!" mikel exclaimed as if complaining to the woman.
"Heh, you started!" arthur's objection did not accept. "Just seeing your face makes me sick!"
"Hey you....." Mikel's growl was held back, but he wanted to feel like he blew his emotions because Arthur managed to provoke emotions. But the gaze of Elie who was glaring at him sharply, instantly shrank her anger.
Helena could only watch the two men arguing. Without knowing what to do, he let Elie mediate between the two.
"Elie, come. Don't get close to a guy like him." Arthur's hand reached out to Elie's arm, then pulled to his side.
"You have no right to ban it! Elie's free to choose anyone." Mikel was about to advance, but was undone when he saw Elie's head shake.
"And you have no right to rule me!" The more angry Arthur, because Mikel managed to ignite his emotions.
Oh, my God, what's wrong with them? Had Brother Ar known if Mikel was Mike, he wouldn't have been hostile to Mikel.
All wrong, that's what Elie felt. He could not defend both of them and could not tell Arthur the truth either. So in the end letting the two men argue is not important. Elie then glanced at Helena who was glued to the spot, especially if the woman felt uncomfortable.
"Mikel come on, stop it. Did you forget this was in the hospital." Helena's soft voice grabbed Mikel and Arthur's attention, the two men turned their heads together.
"He's the one who's looking for trouble first!" Mikel again complained, but this time to Helena.
"But still you don't have to be like that" Helena said. Of course he was only brave to Mikel. If reprimanding Arthur, he felt so reluctant, considering their relationship all along. Arthur was always cold to her.
Seeing how much Helena cared for Mikel made Arthur's blood boil. His hands clenched until his nails looked pale.
Elie felt her sister's body stiffen again. Then he bowed and found Arthur's one hand clenched firmly. It is very bad if his brother is provoked, then the struggle will not be avoided. "Here you go, don't you feel sorry for Helena? Look, her face turned pale," he reprimanded, so the two men stared at Helena.
Sure enough Helena seemed to grimace holding her arm in the fine cassa bandage. The woman accidentally nudged one of her injured arms.
Arthur spontaneously approached the bed, inexplicably his anger slowly evaporated when he saw Helena grimacing withstanding the pain. "You okay?" her tan softened and was answered by Helena's head.
"Slightly painful," he said. Even Helena was seen blowing on the bandaged arm.
Arthur grabbed a map on the nightstand, probably the map from Helena's examination. His hand extended the thin object to Helena. "Use this to fan your arm."
"No way, both my hands are on bandages. Didn't you see it." Helena's voice was obvious if the woman was holding back her moans.
Arthur sighed heavily into the air. "Then let me." And then Arthur actually helped fan Helena's arm that felt sore according to the woman.
Arthur's treatment does not escape the sight of Mikel and Elie. The two lovers secretly cast a glance at each other.
Strange, Kak Ar can be soft like that and since when does Kak Ar want to bother fanning like that?
It seems strange indeed in the eyes of Elie, because during his decades of life with Arthur is not usually the brother willing to bother to help someone, unless there is reciprocity.
Unlike Elie who looked confused, Mikel pulled both corners of her lips that were barely visible. He could see that Helena's relationship with Arthur was unusual. Whether they knew each other and looked closer like that, Mikel did not want to care. His steps were closer to Elie who was still frozen in place.
"Sweetheart, come with me" he whispered. Elie's thin fur suddenly goosebumps when Mikel's breath hits her neck skin.
"I miss you Sweetheart." Before Elie protested his actions, Mikel first clutched his female body. Days of not meeting make his longing even more nurturing.
"Mikel, what are you doing? What if someone sees?" Elie did not refuse nor did she return Mikel's embrace. He was only wary if someone caught them.
"Nobody's past the emergency stairway, Sweetheart." Mikel is getting closer and closer, even inhaling the scent of his female body that always makes him opiate.
Elie's forehead wrinkled. "How do you know?"
"Why do you want to talk so much about the unimportant?" Mikel was almost upset, should Elie be more romantic. At least by returning his embrace.
"I'm just worried if anyone sees us" he tweeted. In the end both of Elie's hands coiled up to return Mikel's embrace.
"I'm not gonna let that happen, Sweetheart." Of course what Mikel did was to shut the mouth of someone who dared to look at their affection.
Elie nodded, closing her eyes to channel her longing to Mikel. Honestly, he also misses Mikel, only they have to be careful if they want to meet and all this time only related through mobile phones.
"Mike?" call Elie then.
"Hum...?" Mikel cleared his throat, he was enjoying their embrace too much.
"Where do you know if Helena and I are in the hospital?"
"From my men" he answered honestly. "I was shocked when they said Helena was seeing you. Did he do anything bad to you, hm?"
"No, Helena just apologized to me for all her attitude towards me."
"It's good that he's fully conscious." Mikel smiled faintly, feeling proud of Helena's attitude that had already turned into more mature.
"He just needs Mike's back, don't judge him so low."
"You're right, but still I'm annoyed by her cheap-woman-like attitude." If you think about Helena's attitude, Mikel is very disgusted.
"He's like that to you." And Elie's standing up for Helena. As a woman, she knows why she does this.
"Just be sure he can't be like that. What if I was tempted."
Hearing Mikel's words, Elie let go of their embrace, then pushed Mikel's chest violently. "So you got tempted, huh?" Both of Elie's eyes squinted sharply and were about to stab Mikel through the look of his eyes.
Mikel chuckles, only teasing Elie, but she takes it seriously.
"No! I swear!" he said firmly. "I'm just tempted to you Sweetheart" he whispered later.
Elie's lips cut, she didn't like hearing Mikel's words. "Don't tease me like that. I'd really be mad if you said that again."
"All right." Mikel sprinkled a kiss on the top of Elie's head. "I can't turn my back on you Sweetheart. You're the best woman, you're not even jealous of Helena."
"You've already told me about your relationship, so there's no reason for me to be jealous of her. Instead I pity Helena, she's had a hard and painful life."
Mikel was anxious when he saw Elie's pursed lips, then his palms were encased in both of Elie's cheeks. "We both experienced something that hurt Sweetheart. The difference was that I was able to survive thanks to help from Uncle Josh who took me and Mei left Amsterdam, we settled in Turkey. And when I decided to move to England, I met Sid and Nathan, they helped me all along. Not with Helen, she was alone against her family and she only had me when we first met. That's what keeps him sticking to me. He felt like I was the only one who could protect him."
"I understand." Both of Elie's eyes were back in tears hearing Helena's past stories. "Mike, we gotta get back. Brother Ar must be angry because we left quietly."
"No, give them time." Mikel re-embraced Elie's body.
Elie's head looked up, Mikel's jaw filled with fine feathers became the center of his attention. "What do you mean?" Mikel did not answer Elie's confusion, the man just smiled thinly and deeply.
I'm counting on you Ar.
