He only stares me as I walk hardly towards the door. This might be too painful but I need to suffer for this. I do not need anybody’s help for now.
“Where are you going?” he asks.
I stop, bow my head down and look at him.
“I need to go inside the comfort room. I cannot control it anymore”
“You need some help?”
“I do not need,” I scream then pause. “I mean… I want to be alone first”
I continue walking towards the comfort room but then, my injured foot aches again. Now, it is too painful. I bend on my knees, letting my body unbalance. He only watches me suffering.
I want to call him but there is a kind of rush that brings me down to the ground. Finally, I speak out his name hesitantly.
“D-W-I-G-H-T”
He carries me up to my bed and lie me down in there. As long I keep being a stubborn individual, bad lucks follow me. The pain is killing me softly.
“Are you okay, Katrina?”
I look at him, totally concern. For god’s sake, the man I hate the most was still concern of me. His eyes are down when he sees me shaking in fear. The longer length of pain deserves the best moment of the day when I hold his hands tighter. He also allows me to do that in the midst of my agony. He ceases the rush within me. I respire back to normal again. I watch his gaze while I still hold his hands. I do not know what happen next because lethargy visits me again.
“Dwight, please do not leave me. I need you”
My eyes take a long close before I see the next sunlight of a new day. I wink and move my head up leisurely. The pressure is out. I feel comfortable as I see him sleeping in a couch not far from me. I think he went home last night because his clothes changed. I watch myself in my own vision of reflection, so dirty and smell foul. As I sit back again slowly, Dwight awakes.
He blinks his eyes. His brown eyes are sparkling by the light of the lamp.
He stands up, walks nearer towards me again.
“You are still here,” I say. “Where are they?”
I confuse.
“Only Sophie visited last night. I expected your Dad will visit but he did not come”
“Oh, is that so”
He giggles, with teeth as white as a dust of snow. As the sun enters the screen on my window, his body blocks the light to pass through me. From that moment, I watch him from his head to toe. Gosh, he is so tempting. That is my first seducing part while I am here in the hospital. His t-shirt is black that causes his chest to be broad and visible.
I bit my lips and I tight my fist. I must not fall for him again.
“What are you looking at?” he says then sits beside me.
“Ugh? Nothing” I hesitate to answer him. I look at his eyes so perfectly brown in color and his lips in a dark shade of crimson. His breath has its original scent. I think he drinks some aftershave at his house. The way he acts is seductive.
“You know, I am stunned last night by what you’ve said”
“What is it?” I am stun too. “What did I say?”
“You don’t remember,” he smiles again. Now, that smile makes me curious. I do not even remember what I was saying last night. All I know that I was just fell asleep.
