Amnesia Of Love
19. Wound Hider

Mario immediately ran into the house following his twin sister who had already entered. Suddenly Inah approached her with a worried look on her face.

"Son Rio, what is it exactly?! Why would Max cry, auntie afraid of anything happening to him?!" panic Home.

Mariopun no less panicked with Inah.Without answering a question from Inah, he immediately went running up the stairs to the second floor.

"Son Rio, wait!! Max's in the guest room!" call Inah.

Mario was silent for a moment and then regained his senses and immediately returned to the bottom because the guest room was on the bottom floor. Arriving in front of the guest room door, he then tried to open the door but it turned out that the door was locked from the inside. He was panicking more and more.

TOK TOK!!

"Max, open the door! Brother apologize! Brother apologize Max! Brother Rio promised not to repeat it again! Don't think about what you said, it's not true. Rio's sister loves you very much. Hugely. Sorry, sister Rio, Max!" mario shouted from the outside while continuing to bang on the door.

Panicking and feeling guilty, that's what Mario is feeling right now. He won't forgive himself if anything happens to Max. During this time his twin sister had suffered greatly and he willingly entered as a wound enhancer for his sister. He was jealous of Max. Not once, but twice the mistakes he made. First from elementary school to junior high school he had to keep his distance from his sister and chose not to go to school with his sister and that he did just because he was jealous of Max who had always been always a class champion, but Max always wanted them to remain one school but Mario did not care and still chose to go to a different school with Max. Second, after Max had an accident and caused trauma to his head and heart which was also problematic. Mariopun's envy grew, it was because according to Mario, his mother was more attentive to Max than to him. Until the incident came where Max almost lost his life and had to do CABG surgery until Maxpun suffered amnesia until now. Mario just realized all the mistakes he had made. His sister is innocent. It is he who is guilty. His sense of passion had blinded the eyes of his heart. He's very sorry. He did not want to lose Max. He doesn't want to.

Mario shook his head with tears that had already flowed down his cheeks. His mind was already raging uncharacteristically. Fear dominated his mind.

"Sorry.hikshiks.." - Mario sobbed.

Mario almost lost his twin brother and he did not want it to happen again. He should have felt lucky, his sister still survives until now. So that he can still make up for his past mistakes.

"I'm sorry Rio, Max.sorry.. Don't be like this.I'm not afraid.hikshiks.." Mario's sobbing.

Meanwhile inside, Max, who is now standing leaning against the door, listens to all his brother's words. He wanted to talk but it was hard. His throat felt choked. Right now he was trying to endure all the pain that was raining down on his head and chest mercilessly. He bit his inner lips tightly until the salty and carnation taste burst out. He rubbed the blood coming out of his lips using the back of his hand then he tried to neutralize his breathing which was now irregular. He immediately took a few drops of the drug, both capsules and tablets, from a medicine tube he kept in his pants pocket and swallowed them without the help of water. He almost spit it out, if not immediately he could hold it by covering his mouth using both hands. Honestly he could never do it, usually all drugs type of tablet must be crushed first but now he had to do it. After the drugs really succeeded he swallowed, he took a deep breath and threw it away slowly and then tried to collect the remnants of his energy.

"Sister.no need to apologize.. Here I am the guilty one..Forgive Max.." said Max stammering from the room.

Mario shook his head quickly without realizing that Max would not be able to see him.

"No Max. No. gabe. Rio is wrong. The wrong brother. Please forgive brother. Brother please Max.hikshiks."

Max was speechless with eyes that stared blankly ahead.

"Max has already said.sister Rio is not wrong. That means.sister no need to apologize to me.since I've forgiven brother.."

Mario was stunned to hear it. What was the heart of his twin sister made of? Is Max not human? His sister had never been angry with him. Even if they have to fight it will not be long because it is wrong or not wrong his sister always apologizes to him. Even as a child his younger brother would not stop crying if Mario was still angry with him. Although the mistake he made was very outrageous, his sister still forgave him. And when Max had amnesia as it is now, it still did not take away the slightest bit of kindness in his sister's heart.

"Thank you." said Mario softly as he sobbed occasionally.

Max smiled softly at the floor while holding his left chest. He loved Mario too much even more than his own life, there is no way he could be angry at his twin brother.

"Sister..Max slept here for a while.. Max's tired..Brother rest in the room." said Max from behind the door.

Mario nodded.

"Alright but if anything happens to you, tell brother. Okay." Okay."

Max took a deep breath and threw it away slowly.

"Yes.."

Mario moves from there to the top floor where he and Max are left alone in the guest room. When there was no sound of footsteps, Maxpun exhaled rough breathing.

"I don't want to bother you anymore.I'll try to survive on my own." murmured Max.

"Although I know.for my condition.it was very difficult for me to do.." murmured Max again.

Max who was still standing while leaning on the door immediately shed his body and sat on the floor. His body was completely limp. His head felt swirling and his gaze began to twitch, whether it was because the medicine had not reacted to his body or he was already very tired. His consciousness felt forcibly taken away and now only the darkness he felt.

****

It was late in the afternoon but Max was still lying unconscious on the cold floor.

"Eungh.." Max moaning. He blinked his eyes which were still heavy and opened his eyes slowly. His vision was still blurry but a few seconds later his vision had returned to normal.

"It turns out I'm still alive.I guess there's a name left." murmured Max.

Max tried to sit himself down.

TOK TOK!!

"Max, open the door. We eat together. You should also take medicine." Call Mario.

Max looked straight ahead. His mind suddenly went blank.

TOK TOK!

Max regained consciousness after the sound of knocking on the door was heard again.

"Max.." call Mario again.

"I.iya sister for a moment. I just woke up. I wash my face first." replied Max.

"Yes already brother Rio waiting in the dining room ya." said Mario from outside.

"Yes, brother."

The sound of Mario's feet moving away from his room.

Max breathed out slowly.

"Luckily I've woken up. Otherwise, I'd be freaking out and.." Max paused his words.

"Back is troublesome." he murmured slowly.

Max stood up with a slight stagger, fortunately he was holding on to the wall. His body is still weak. Max walked in and went into the bathroom and washed his face slowly while staring at the glass in front of him.

"Hhh..Why is my face so pale..? My lips are dry.."

"Then how can I cover my pain?!" frustrated Max while ruffling his hair.

"Ah wait.."

Max came out and ruffled the contents of his bag.

"Meet me!"

He cheered happily when the thing he was looking for found. It was lip balm. She gave it to him this morning before she left for school. This morning she complained to Inah that her lips were dry and pale, so she advised Max to wear lip balm. Maxpun returned to the bathroom and put on lip balm, at least his face looks slightly glowing not as pale as before, his lips are also no longer dry. He immediately got out of the room and went to the dining room. Arriving there he saw Mario waiting for him while playing his phone. Mario's face looks very sad and agitated.

"Why brother?" max asked as he pulled up the dining chair and sat down.

"Eh? Max's? Ti. nothing. Let's eat. The food made by Inah looks good. Let's eat together."

Max smiled as he nodded, although he was curious but he would not force his brother to tell a story. He then took the rice and side dishes into the plate. Besides, there is also a bowl of spinach for him.

"Wait the fuck.."

Mario held Max's hand and stared fixedly at Max's face.

"Something hurts, hmm..?" ask Mario to worry.

Max stiffened but it didn't last long and then he shook his head and smiled.

"There is no brother. I feel fine." Max replied still with a smile.

Mario nodded.

"If anyone's sick, tell brother?"

Max nodded with a smile and started feeding food into his mouth.

"For now, I will try to cover up the pain I feel.. I don't want to keep burdening you..I don't want to keep bothering you.."

"Unless I.."

"It can't survive anymore.."

SERIATE...
