THE LOVE OF MY LIFE
35.The Past 2

Louise squirms in the morning.Her eyes blinked feeling a different atmosphere when she began to sleep at night.Feeling a soft grip on both hands, and,Louise turned her head and saw Nick as well as Chris asleep holding both hands on different sides with a sitting position while their heads were on the bed where he was lying.One hand was attached to the infusion.

With a slow motion, Louise got up and tried to pull the hand that Chris was holding as slow as possible without waking him from sleep.

However, her subtle movements actually woke Chris up.

"Louise you're already bangu.." Chris' words came to a halt as Louise's hand closed her mouth.

"Sstt.later Nick wakes up." whispered Louise.

"So, are you heart-pulling your hand so that I don't wake up?"chris asked whispering.

"Yes.kak Chris seems tired." replied Louise in a soft voice.

"Basic.." said Chris tapping softly on Louise's nose.

"Where is this brother?"louise asked in a whisper.

"If you think I won't hear you, then don't talk here Louise." Nick's voice lit up their chatter.

The two of them were shocked and simultaneously turned towards Nick who opened his eyes.

"You're okay, right?"ask Nick to worry.

Her outstretched hand touched Louise's forehead with the back of her hand, then let out a sigh of relief.

"You really scared my sister" Nick said, hugging his sister slowly.

"I mean why, brother?where is this kept?How come Louise's hand is this?it's a little sore" asked Louise raising her hand attached to the infusion.

"If it's one thing, it's not like a train with no brakes" said Chris pulling Louise's nose.

"Aahh..kak Chris why the hell bother my nose."sung Louise."And again, who says the train does not have brakes.The train has brakes.If there is no brake there is no emergency stop dong." said Louise made Chris pat her forehead.

"I lose heart when faced with people who always eat books in the library" said Chris laughing.

"It's a good book, isn't it Nick's brother?"ask Louise for support.

Before Nick could answer, a knock on the door distracted them.A doctor with a nurse behind him stepped in with their gentle smile.

"Well.does it look like you're being kept very well huh?You already look cheerful."What a doctor to Louise.

"Kok I can be in the hospital anyway sis?"ask Louise to Nick."Am I sick?"ask her again.

"So what do you remember?"ask Doctor.

"Emmm..I slept in Nick's lap last night when did I get sick?"louise looked at the doctor.

"Before that, did you allow this Doctor to examine your body first sweet?"ask the gentle doctor.

"Come, but this was it first." said Louise pointing to the infusion again.

"Will the doctor leave after knowing your condition first.how?"the doctor smiled.

"Promise.?"Louise said with her pinky thrusting and was greeted kindly by the Doctor.

The doctor checked Louise's condition and said something to the nurse who immediately noted it.The doctor smiled again after the examination was completed and kept his promise to release the infusion in Louise's hands.

"She's fine, and can go home after taking the prepared medicine" said the doctor smiling at Nick and Chris alternately.

"Thank you Doctor" said Nick.

The doctor left them.Louise looked back at Nick asking for an answer.Sedang Nick actually looked at Chris before running out.

"Sister."call Louise to chase Nick but Chris is arrested.

"He's just going to Louise's toilet" Chris said.

"That's what Chris always says when you lie" Louise replied.

"OK, okay.."Chris put his hand up."and I'll say.Nick just went to the doctor to make sure you had a high fever last night, and it made us very worried, especially Nick.He barely slept looking after you all night." said Chris.

Looking at that, Chris lifted Louise's chin gently and directed her to look at him.

"The reason me and Nick lied is because we don't want to see you like this.If you're sad like this, it also makes me sad.Then if your sister sees this, what do you think Nick will feel?"chris said softly.

"You are smart Louise.and you are also good at reading the feelings of those around you.You can quickly understand what other people say and what happens around you.So I'm sure you know how to react if you are like this." said Chris quietly and rubbed Louise's head gently.

"Again, you have two great brothers here" said Chris again with a big smile.

Louise laughed, and shortly afterwards, Nick was followed by the nurse who brought food and medicine to Louise.

"Now you eat first" said Nick.

"Sister hasn't eaten yet, has he?"ask Louise.

"Silver will eat after this.Now you used to eat and take the medicine" Nick said smiling.

"Certainly we can go home?"ask Louise.

Nick nodded convincingly and began to feed Louise affectionately.When the food was reduced by half, Louise asked to stop.

"Eat more Louise."please ask Nick.

"I'm really a big sister." replied Louise.

"But you ate very little" said Nick again."Or do you want to eat something else?"ask Nick.

"No sister, I'm really full." replied Louise.

"All right."sigh Nick."Take the medicine yes"ask Nick again who immediately answered with a nod of the head.

Moments after taking the medicine, Louis falls asleep, Chris covers Louise and pulls Nick away from the bed.

"So...What did the doctor say?"chris asked impatiently.

"She has a body condition that at any time can decline drastically arrived.High fever is one of the symptoms." explained Nick.

"But it can be cured, right?"ask Chris.

"The thing that can be born is prevention.When the condition decreases, he just has to rest.The problem here is Louise is very stubborn.Maxing it is also not a thing that will always go well" said Nick.

"So the doctor had deliberately removed the infusion because..."Chris looked at Nick who was nodding.

"Yes, because his condition has improved and just needs to rest" replied Nick.

"I was just worried when I wasn't by his side because I had to work." - Nick.

"I can take care of him." replied Chris.

Chris was silent on understanding where Nick's worries were headed.

"Aunt Goldie" they called together

They looked at each other and laughed, realizing that their thoughts were the same.

"Louise won't be bored waiting there, and aunt can watch her" Chris said.

"I hope your aunt doesn't mind this" Nick said.

"No, I'm pretty sure." replied Chris.

Nick smiled and sighed softly.

"Thank you so much Chris, in addition to being my best friend, you also helped me take care of my sister" Nick said.

"He's also my brother.Don't forget that." said Chris."and one more thing, I'll try hard to be the best doctor so that I not only take care of him but I can take care of him." said Chris really.

Nick's glassy eyes were moved by Chris's expression and sincerity.

Feeling it was time to go home, Nick took a ride on Louise who was still fast asleep due to a drug reaction.

Chris asks Nick to return to his home.Nick refuses on the grounds of having to finish what is at home.

"Isn't Louise better off at my house, Nick?"talk to Chris when they arrive near the road to Nick's house.

"Thank you Chris.I'll see you when this is over" Nick said reassuringly.

"All right" said Chris, giving in and asking the taxi driver to leave Nick.

Unbeknownst to Nick, Chris silently follows Nick after telling the taxi driver to stop and leave, Chris who is very worried that they are both following them by keeping their distance.

When they reached the house, the view there shocked Chris.

Nick's parents quarrel and point at each other.They have each brought a large suitcase.

"They're your kids, they're supposed to be coming with you" said papa Nick.

"They are also your children, don't throw them at me." replied Nick's mother.

"I've been pregnant with them, now it's your turn to take care of them" Nick's mother said.

"And you think I didn't take part when you were pregnant with them?"papa Nick's voice is rising.

Chris turned his eyes to see what was happening in front of him, while Nick stood not far from their parents behind Chris.

Chris hesitated to approach Nick, not out of fear, but more in the direction of wanting to appreciate Nick who had asked him to leave.

"C U K U P.." Nick's voice sounded resolute and held in anger.

Nick's voice stopped their argument and turned for a moment and threw away his face.

Chris who had never heard the stern voice he had just heard kept watching Nick who was still holding Louise on his back.His hands clenched and trembled.

"Aren't you both ashamed to have made a scene here?"ask Nick coldly.

Nick's parents just shut up and snorted in annoyance.

"Ohh, the two of you don't have to worry.I won't choose to be with either of you LORD AND MISTRESS" Nick said staring intently at them.

"Get your manners Nicholas." snapped at papa Nick.

"I feel like I've kept my manners SIR." replied Nick coldly.

"And I will say one more thing, Louise will not come with anyone but me" Nick said again.

"You can both leave this place without a sound" Nick said.

"How dare you kick me out." snapped Nick's mama.

"Just displacing you I can do it.If you don't leave immediately, I'll be better able to report you to the violent acts you both committed on us." threatened Nick.

Nick's threats work and make them relax their aaram a little.

"I wouldn't mind if you guys JUST beat me up.But you already hit my sister" Nick said.

"For me, you are now only strangers, SIR, MADAM. So I beg you to leave this place quietly.Isn't that the plan that you two will do?"asked Nick with a cynical smile.

The two of them who never saw Nick's anger inching back.After stomping his feet, mama Nick left the place followed by papa Nick who also left their child just like that.

"Just occupy this house for a month, after that it's up to you and never look for me" said papa Nick.

"Ha,,ha, Aahh I forgot to say one thing" Nick said making their steps stalled and turned around.Nick turned to face them.with Nick's expressionless face

"Congratulations on your divorce.TUAN ,NYONYA.Finally you are both free" said Nick coldly.

Nick's parents widened their eyes in shock, then left without retorting Nick's words.When his parents were no longer visible, Nick felt his shoulder shake.It made Nick soften.

"Louise heard everything?sister had thought you would not wake up because the effects of the drug are still there" said Nick.

"I heard it all.Why brother Nick did not tell me that papa and mom also hit brother?"ask Louise raucous.

"So you're not stronger than you, so it doesn't hurt." replied Nick softly.

"But still they hit my sister" said Louise.

"Did Louise want to go with papa and mama?"ask Nick.

"No way."Louise shook her head strongly.

"They're not your mom anymore" Louise replied in a quivering voice.

"Sister promises to always take care of Louise.Do you believe you can do it?"nick asked as he lowered his sister and knelt down in front of Louise rubbing her head gently.

Louise nodded and wiped her tears, then hugged Nick tightly.

"Louise promises after this no longer cry" Louise said in Nick's ear.

"Louise is really smart huh" Nick said patting Louise's back softly.

"We're in now?"ask Nick.

"Yes." answered Louise.

When the two of them entered the house, Chris chose to leave from there to make room for them both.
