Even if it is just a moment ...
Let me lean on you ...
--------------------------------------------------------------------
"Good morning, Stevia."
"Good morning, Doctor."
Ah, crap!
Suddenly I remembered the crazy incident that I had in the early hours of yesterday. Now I'm confused myself how I behave in front of my sister-in-law.
What's wrong with me? The awkward one should be Ardito, not me. I'm the victim and he's the villain. He's the one who should be salting, not me.
"What's wrong, Nay?"
"Well?!"
"I'm asking for patient data on today's check-up schedule!" ardito said as he sat in his chair. "Nay, why shut up?"
"D-yes."
So relax. He acted as if nothing had happened between us. These two brothers have very annoying nature.
"Thank you" Ardito said as I handed him the map containing the patient data he requested. "I'm sorry for the unfortunate incident."
This time he looked at me. A friendly smile like always, he showed me.
"My mood is bad and I seem to be a little bit affected by alcohol. I know apologizing won't be enough, but .. I still have to apologize to you."
Ardito got up from his seat. His feet moved towards me. My blood rippled back, feeling a little scared. Reflexes, I clenched my palms together in my mouth.
"Hahaha .. I won't do it again" Ardito laughed. "If I wanted to do it, I'd ask your permission first."
"Iiish .. what the fuck!" my growl.
"Hahaha .. be relaxed to me, Naya! Eliminate your awkwardness!"
"Yes, I want that too" I replied annoyed.
"Forget over! Think of it like a meat kiss, okay! Let's get back to work!"
He looks a lot like Ardian. Equally genius in terms of ravaging women's hearts. Meat found meat he said? It's not wrong for Ardian to call him a perverted doctor.

"Well, there's such an incident?"
That afternoon, along the way home from the pharmacy, Ardito told all his stories with Dalisa. Wanting to eliminate the little awkwardness that was still lingering in my mind, I accepted his offer to take me home.
"Losing someone you love .. must be hard" I murmured. "When Ardian forgets me, it feels like my life is ruined, let alone you who are left for dead."
"Everything's past. I almost forgot about it?" answer with a little smile.
"There will be a replacement."
"You're listing?" candelessly.
"Relieve it!"
"Mahaha ...."
Another interesting story of these two brothers. The more days I get curious about the complexity of the Benedict Lim family. That's why, I made them as the main characters in the novel that I made with Ardian.

"Ardian?!"
I called out when I saw my husband standing in front of the apartment building with Nadine.
"Over the last few days we are getting closer. Why is Ardian still seeing that woman?"
"Calm down, Naya! Let's watch them from here!" said Ardito.
I still hate him. I hate Ardian's wishy-washy nature. He even still met Nadine after touching me. Is there no love when she is with me, even if only a little?
"They had a fight" said Ardito, who was watching Ardian and Nadine from the car.
It's true what Ardito said. It seems like the two of them are debating something. Ardian seemed to hold Nadine's hand which was struggling to leave. What the hell is it?
"Wine! Ardians!" ardito ran out of the car.
"No. Ardiaa!"
I immediately ran to Ardian who was in conflict with Nadine.
"Ardian, down!" yell Ardito. "Armiaaaaaan!"
DOR'S!
"Nay ... Nayaaaaa!"
"Shu-thankfulness-lah ...."

ARDIAN APARTMENT
"It's a good thing the bullet just scratched a little bit of your arm" Ardito said, wrapping my wound. "It will feel hot and painful, so you have to routinely use the ointment, yes!"
"Thank you, Doctor," I said. "Ardians."
The man was still standing while staring at me. There was a tinge of anger mixed with guilt from the glare of his sharp eyes.
"I'm okay" I said trying to calm him down.
"I want you to hack the CCTV at that location!" ardian said to his brother. "I'll finish whoever he is."
"Later I'll investigate" said Ardito. "You should be careful because it looks like what he's after is you!"
"I know," replied Ardian angrily.
"Well, if that's how I go home. Naya, don't work yet! Although only scratches, but the wound can be an infection. Rest up! Good night."
"Good night. Thank you, Doctor."
My brother-in-law left our house. Ardian himself was silent. He seems really angry at the moment. I'd better shut up instead of getting worse.
"Huft ... hot!"
It seems like the effects of the drug that Ardito was given began to disappear. The scar on my arm started to ache and burn very hot.
"Here!" Ardian grabbed my arm and blew it.
"No need, let me make it!" reject me.
"Sorry, Naya! Sorry I always put you in danger."
"Armandian ...."
What's wrong with her? He makes me uncomfortable. His eyes were with eyes that began to dew. The anger that had just appeared on his face had now turned into a worry.
"Calm down! I won't die with just one bullet" I chuckled slightly.
"I'm the one who will die .. if something happens to you."
"Did?!"
She why? Is it because I worry too much or just feel guilty about me?
"Sorry."
My still-painful body was pulled into his arms. I felt an irregular pounding from his left chest, as he hugged me so tightly.
"You're worried about me?" my whiskey.
"Yes." Yeah."
"Why?"
"I'm afraid something bad happened to you" she replied.
"Why?"
"Because .. because I---"
"Why?" my search.
I broke out of his embrace. I noticed his eyeballs spinning as if he was looking for an excuse amidst his nervous face. I really hope he's worried not because of guilt. If the worry had arisen because he was afraid of losing a love, I would have been very grateful.
But that was just my delusion. It can't be like that.
"Hm ...! A-what's-"
"Because I don't want to lose" he whispered. "I ... don't want to lose .. my wife."
Why do I feel this weirdness? When Ardian started touching me, I somehow felt like he remembered me.
Stupidly, I always let myself drift in my own feelings of love. Without knowing, either he did it with the same taste or just to let go of his thirst.
A little tormented in my mind. But I also have no power to escape from it.
"Naya ... Stay by my side!"
"Hem?"
"I've always felt fear. Afraid something might happen to me, to you, too" he said.
"Armandian ...." A clear thread suddenly rolled in my eyes. "Don't talk like that!"
"Every second of my life, I've always felt that, Naya."
That night, I cried in his arms. My heart felt heavy and confused. But, there was a calmness that suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
I am the same as it seems. The fear that is always in the heart. Sometimes I feel like my life is at stake when I'm with him. But I don't want to lose him either.
"Let me be like this!" The more I immerse my body into his arms. "Let me lean on you like this ... much longer, Ardian!"
