You're My Antidote
Bidders

Rani doesn't know what happened after she left yesterday. Until Haikal no longer threw away his face as soon as he came today. Although their relationship has not been said to have returned as before. But at least Haikal no longer drove him away when he came and greeted his best friend.

Haikal's mother also entrusted the man to her when the middle-aged woman had to solve the administrative problems of returning home.

"I'm glad you're healthy and you can go home" he said, sitting on the spot yesterday. Haikal just looked at him without saying a word. "After this I don't want to hear you go into a nightclub and end up in the hospital again, Kal. Pity your mother for being sad and guilty."

"Where are you?" ask Haikal suddenly.

Rani was silent for a moment. Stringing the right words so that Haikal no longer avoids it. "We've been friends since childhood, Kal. So what do you expect when I find your condition like yesterday? Not just sad. My heart even hurts."

"I should be happy, right, listen?" Haikal smiled cynically. "But I'm getting sicker. Because it's all getting real."

Rani doesn't know what to do. She became the King's wife. That's a fact that can't be changed. And even if it can, it feels like Rani doesn't want to change it.

"I was thinking of staying friends before." Haikal returned to his voice after a long time of silence that filled between them. "But it doesn't seem to be able to."

"You mean?"

"It's not good for you to be friendly with a laiki-boy even though you're married, Ran. Anyway, I appreciate your husband's feelings. Because if I were the king. I won't give you permission to be close to another man."

Rani remained silent. The king said it last night. The king allowed him to be friends, but it had to be at a reasonable limit. The king asked her to be firm on their feelings and relationships.

"So.. Our friendship just got here?" tanyanya sad. Can't they just stay friends?

A nod from Haikal squeezed his heart. But there was a speck of relief as he could be resolute with his feelings. He could not forever bind Haikal with a hope he could not give. Haikal deserves to be happy with anyone who will be his soul mate later.

"Now there is a king who will guard and protect you. My job as a friend is done here." Haikal's hand is outstretched to rub his head.

Rani cleared her throat to reduce the tightness of the heart. She described her charming smile as a farewell.

"I will always pray for your happiness, Ran. Although not with me."

Rani nodded steadily. "I did the same thing."

"But if we accidentally meet, we won't pretend we don't know each other, right?" haikal's jokes can make him laugh. They don't need that butterflies. He obeyed Haikal to end their friendship only to free his friend from pain. Because it would definitely be even harder for Haikal if they were still interconnected.

***

Haikal's return process went well. Before going home, the doctor examined the man for the last time.

Rani is relieved everything ended well. At least even though they can't maintain their friendship, their relationship doesn't end badly as an enemy. They can part peacefully.

"Dear." The door that opened and followed the voice of the King attracted the attention of all those in the Haikal nursery. Including himself who will push Haikal wheelchair to go home.

Rani did not expect the King would come to her there. Though the last message the King sent him said he would wait in the garden behind the hospital.

The King's attitude that forced her to embrace her husband's arms embarrassed her. He was not used to making out with the King in front of others like that.

Especially when the sound of Haikal sounding cold when refusing the help of the King to replace him pushing a wheelchair.

"It's okay. You must still be weak. And my wife must be heavy pushing your heavy body, too."

Rani grimaced in horror hearing that. Usually the king is not like that. Even if the King did not like it, her husband would only be silent with his cold gaze.

Whether offended or what, Haikal just kept quiet and let the King help him until they split up in the parking area.

"Why did Raja change his mind and pick Rani up there?" ask when they are in the car.

King mengedik. "Just can't stand away from my wife."

The king pouted and asked. "Hows it? you guys feeling better?"

"Hem.. It's all over. We're just gonna act like people who know each other?"

The king looked at him in surprise. He doesn't seem to believe what he's saying.

"You offered or him? how come?"

Rani leaned on her husband's arm. For him it is not easy to end a friendship that has been decades. He considered Haikal a brother.

"He offered. And didn't Raja say Rani had to be firm with Rani's feelings?"

"But I'm not asking you to end your friendship."

"But this is the best, brother" he said looking up. Staring at the husband's black bead. "There is no pure friendship between a man and a woman. Haikal's gonna get sicker if we're still in touch."

"Then you? don't you have pain separating from him?"

Rani smiles. Why does her husband still care about his feelings for other men? the King should be happy, right, hearing this news?

"Isn't there Raja's brother as the cure for Rani's illness?"

The king sighed and held her. Rubbing his back and head. "It must be heavy for you. But I'll try to pay for the pain you're feeling."

Rani tightened her embrace. His eyes had been heating up ever since he said goodbye. But he had promised the King not to weep for another man. For that he tried to hold it.

"Cry." said the King as if he knew how he felt. "I know it's heavy. I'm giving an exception for today."

Having heard. Rani cried for a long time. But the King was not impatient. Her husband just hugged and rubbed her back. Occasional kiss on the top of the head, Rani felt.

After his crying subsided and he began to calm down, the King helped him wipe away the tears. Giving her water to drink was also worried she was dehydrated.

Oh God. How lucky he is to have a king. Who are not angry but calm.

"Thank you for being the antidote for Rani. Make some dreams Rani. From now on let Rani also be the antidote for the King's wound. The wound that the King's brother felt alone."

"You mean..?"

Rani nodded. "Let's heal the King's trauma. So that the King's brother does not always have nightmares and can sleep well."

The king immediately hugged him. I don't know what her husband feels.
