Yurdha knew that her actions could no longer remain secret.
He nodded reluctantly and said, "Yesterday when mom and sister came in violently, there was a fight, and we all ended up falling to the ground. I only had a small cut on my arm, but not badly. I just need to apply a little medicine."
"Injured? Why didn't I hear it?" Pepi exclaimed in surprise. "Let me see that, is it a serious wound? Be careful not to get infected."
As Pepi spoke, he immediately grabbed her arm and flipped his sleeve.
Apparently, there was a terrible wound on his arm that was white like a worm. Even though it had dried up, the wound still looked terrible.
Pepi's expression became solemn as he watched the wound intently. "You have a very deep wound. This is a serious wound. Why didn't you say anything before?"
There were remnants of dried blood on the wound, indicating that it had not been properly treated. If these sores are not cleaned and treated immediately, they can easily become infected.
"Do you understand how severe it would be if the handling was delayed like this?" Pepi raised his head in earnest concern, seeing that Yurdha's handsome face was already slightly flushed.
Pepi immediately said, "Why is your face flushed? Do you have a fever?"
Yurdha stammered, "I..."
With a quick movement, Pepi's hand landed on his forehead. "I already knew that wound had caused a severe infection, and now you have a fever... Huh huh? Why isn't your face hot?"
Pepi's curiosity made him examine Yurdha carefully.
Yurdha hurriedly shifted her gaze. "I'm fine, I can take care of it myself."
As he spoke, he slowly lowered his sleeves.
Pepi suddenly understood part of Yurdha's mind. In this society, a man's chastity was a very important thing; let alone exposing an arm or leg, it was considered a great abstinence. By suddenly tearing his clothes like this, wasn't he behaving to be a pervert?
Pepi immediately took two steps back, as if afraid he would be stabbed with a knife again. "I didn't mean it!"
Yurdha felt funny but still felt embarrassed and lowered her head. "It's okay, I know you didn't mean it that way."
Pepi scratched his head. "But still, your wounds do need to be treated. Do I have to ask Orden for help? It's not something you can handle on your own."
Pepi initially wanted to say, "What if I take you to the doctor?" But then he thought of the ten thousand left in his pocket and decided not to do it.
Yurdha immediately interrupted, "No!"
"Hmm?"
Yurdha let out a light sigh and explained, "I hid my wounds on purpose. I don't want my brother to know. By his nature, he was always afraid I was hurt. If he found out that his mother-in-law and older sister were injured yesterday, he would probably attack them angrily. If it triggers trouble, my older brother will definitely not have an easy time."
Pepi could not help but grumble. How wise and pathetic he is.
"As for Orden, I don't really want too many people to know."
Although Yurdha's words were hidden, Pepi immediately understood the hidden meaning behind them. With Orden's big mouth, he could tell the entire world within minutes!
At that moment, Pepi said, "Then I think I should apply some medicine for you."
But, he did not forget to add a single sentence, "But don't worry, I've seen a man's arms and legs before, I won't think of any bad things about you, so don't worry."
With a joke, the group of childhood friends who grew up together with him, who never played dress in with him until they were adults? What is so special about looking at the arms? Even if they were completely naked, he was not afraid!
Pepi carried a basin of clear water and carefully cleaned his wound with a towel.
Yurdha must have felt a great pain, her face was a bit pale, but she kept her lips tightly shut. He has always been so since childhood, quiet and never made trouble for anyone.
"If it hurts, just say it, it's okay to be embarrassed" said Pepi while relaxed.
Yurdha paused for a moment, smiling, but saying nothing.
Pepi cleaned his wounds and then applied them with medicine.
Yurdha watched him as she was busy applying the medicine, feeling an inexplicable emotion in her heart. Suddenly, he said, "Sorry."
"I'm sorry what?" Pepi looked up with a confused face.
"That time, when I took the knife." Yurdha said, feeling a little embarrassed.
Pepi smiled, "That's not important anymore. I've forgotten it for a long time. Besides, I've got my revenge, haven't I?"
"Yes, you're right," Yurdha slightly pulled the corner of her lips.
This woman, is completely different now.
"Don't think about it too much. We have to focus first on how to live well and make money. The others are not important!" The light in Pepi's eyes lit up as he spoke of money, showing an optimistic and determined expression on his face.
Yurdha laughed and said, "Last night after eating, I saw Young Brother buying a sack of rice from someone in the village. You accepted, Mom?"
"It's over!" Pepi answered happily. "I've been soaking in the kitchen. After making the cendol, I'll give it to you."
Pepi looked at Yurdha's gentle smile, not so noticeable but very sincere. Unlike his brother, who always wore a sour expression without caring being happy or sad, with a face as if someone owed him, Yurdha showed emotion on her face. The past Pepi saw was full of respect and distance, whereas the present Rizqi was someone he relied on and felt close to. And now, when he saw it, there was a sincere feeling.
Pepi noticed his faint smile and decided that it was basically a friendly gesture.
"But something made me curious."
"What's that?"
"Yesterday, my mother and sister came to arrest Orden. At first, it had nothing to do with you. Besides, I bought Orden back with the money that was supposed to heal your foot injury. Maybe you hate him too, so why should you go all the way to help stop him and end up getting hurt?"
Yurdha lowered her gaze and slowly replied, "I just feel like he's also a poor person."
Pepi's actions came to a halt as he looked at the faint sadness in Yurdha's bowed eyes, an emotion that could not be hidden.
It turned out, despite being trapped by himself, he still wanted to help others selflessly. How good is this little figure. At this moment, Pepi felt remorse - why did fate give such a cruel treatment to such an extraordinary person?
In an instant, the medicine was ready.
Pepi rolled up his sleeves as he said, "Alright! Try not to use your hands too much and avoid contact with water. In a few days, it should heal."
"Alright, thank you," Yurdha nodded gently.
Seeing obedience and thoughtful behavior, Pepi could not avoid being amazed how a person like him, who was so obedient and well-behaved, could have the same mother as Rizqi, who was so obedient and well-behaved, angry and arrogant creatures.
