"Mbak, Mbak masih bisa denger suara saya?" Sekuat tenaga Gendhis berusaha mengangguk saat guncangan di Pundak dan pertanyaan itu ditujukan padanya. “Sakit sekali, Dokter.” Lagi-lagi, hanya erangan kesakitan yang Gendhis beri sebagai tambahan jawabannya. Tangannya tergerak mencengkeram perut bagian bawahnya, keringat dingin membasahi sekujur tubuh. "Dari kapan sakitnya?" tanya perawat di sebelah Gendhis. Gendhis menggeleng, "Semalam…" gumamnya tak yakin. "Ada bercak darah?" Gendhis mengangguk kali ini, ia berusaha membuka matanya. Tak jauh dari ranjangnya sekarang, seorang perempuan berusia 40 tahunan tengah menatapnya dari kejauhan. Tampak cemas, tapi juga tak berani mendekat. "S-saya hamil. Test pack saya positif," ungkap Gendhis terbata. Tak ada jawaban, semua orang yang menangani Gendhis di Instalasi Gawat Darurat itu tampak sibuk melakukan tugasnya masing-masing setelah mendengar pengakuannya. Air mata Gendhis menetes, ia ingin menjadi gila saja setelah semua yang dialaminya. Di tengah rasa sakit yang menyerang sekujur tubuh, ia kumpulkan kekuatan untuk lebih membuka matanya, meski sulit. Obrolan orang-orang di sekitarnya masih bisa Gendhis dengar dengan baik meski menggunakan bahasa medis yang asing, berusaha memanggil dokter kandungan dengan cepat. Napas Gendhis makin tak teratur, rasa sakit menghujam perut bagian bawahnya semakin kuat. “Status?” Sebuah suara berat membuat kegaduhan yang tadi Gendhis dengar senyap seketika. Terasa jemari Gendjis diraba lembut, hangat. "Perdarahan pervaginam, gangguan hemodinamik, nyeri tekan panggul dan perut, hasil USG transvaginal, suspect K.E.T, Dok." "Hubungi OK, dan seseorang tolong bicara dengan walinya." Begitu mendengar para tenaga medis itu menyebut tentang wali, Gendhis berusaha membuka mulutnya. Meski pandangannya sudah memudar, setidaknya ia harus memberi penjelasan mengenai statusnya. "Saya sebatang kara. Nggak punya wali," ungkap Gendhis. Helaan napas berat menjadi tanggapan pertama dari ucapan Gendhis. Sejenak tampak sepi, hanya terdengar suara sirine dari luar ruangan IGD itu. "Kamu hampir kehabisan darah, kita harus segera ngambil tindakan operasi. Dan kita butuh persetujuan wali kamu," ucap sang dokter. Gendhis menggeleng, "Lakukan apa aja Dok, saya nggak punya wali," sebut Gendhis. "Orang yang nganter saya adalah germo di tempat saya bekerja," ujarnya mengejutkan semua orang. "Oke, masalah wali biar jadi urusan saya," kata sang dokter berwajah sangat tampan ini. "Saya yang akan jadi pendonor darah kamu," katanya. Air mata Gendhis mengalir lagi, ia coba untuk membuka matanya perlahan. Cahaya putih memendar menghalangi pandangannya. Ia itarkan tatapannya ke sekeliling, tenaga medis yang menanganinya sudah berkurang jumlahnya. Dari sekitar selusin, hanya ada 4 orang sekarang, termasuk si pemilik punggung tegap yang baru saja datang dan menanyai soal walinya tadi. "Saya yang akan jadi walinya," ucap si dokter tampan yakin, memunggungi tempat Gendhis berbaring. "Tolong persiapkan operasinya, saya ke bank darah sebentar," pamitnya. "Dokter!" Gendhis memanggil dengan sisa tenaganya. Punggung tegap nan lebar itu berbalik perlahan. Wajah tampan dengan hidung mancung menantang yang tertutup masker, mendekat kembali pada Gendhis. "Kehamilan Ektopik Terganggu, kondisi kamu sangat mengancam nyawa, harus segera dioperasi. Saya yang akan jadi wali sekaligus pendonor darah untuk kamu. Bertahanlah, Gendhis," ucap sang dokter penuh pengharapan. Seakan tak asing oleh suara dan wajah di balik masker itu, Gendhis berusaha menajamkan pandangan. Namun, si tampan baik hati justru berlalu pergi tanpa penjelasan atas panggilan akrabnya pada Gendhis barusan. "Tadi siapa?" tanya Gendhis pada seorang perawat muda di sampingnya. "Dokter barusan," tambahnya timbul tenggelam. "Dokter Christ, spesialis Obgyn Mbak," balas sang perawat. Bibir Gendhis bergetar hebat, sungguh, ia tidak mau bertemu dengan masa lalunya itu di situasi semacam ini. Betapa takdir yang sangat berantakan. Gendhis langsung teringat pada sosok masa lalunya. Rai Damian Christopher Wisanggeni. "Rai, apa itu kamu?" ###Raffaele Her taste lingered on my mouth, and it was all I could do not to walk right into that station and reacquaint myself with the taste of her. What the hell had I allowed to happen?Why had I kissed her? I had gone after her to warn her. To threaten her. To make sure she never went near The Sprawl again.Instead, I’d hunted her through the dark and kissed her like a man with nothing left to lose.The moment I had her trapped in my hold, all civility went out the door, replaced by something that was pure animal, pure instinct. Something that made me want to break her down to the bone and rebuild her where she belonged, under my hand.It was... I didn't have a word for it. I had never been the sort of person to lose control. Years of always following a clear plot and that fucking cop had come and blew everything to smithereens. What was so special about her? She wasn't my usual type, she was too abrasive, too sharp, too short. Too everything. "Mr. Santiago." I blinked back
Nina An explosion rocked through me, blowing my senses into dust. The realization that Santiago was kissing me was pushed into a distant part of my brain by the heat of his mouth. I made a sound of protest in my throat, but his fingers only tightened on my jaw, tongue teasing against the seams of my mouth till I had no choice but to open for him. Why was he doing this? Why did it feel so good? Was this some sort of punishment? Instead of trying to fight him off, my traitorous body gave in. A moan rumbled in my chest and his hand around my wrist tightened, sending pain shooting through my shoulders at the angle they were held in. But still, nothing mattered but the feel of his mouth on mine. Santiago's tongue swept into my mouth, dragging over mine and coaxing it into action. My knees had turned to jelly, and the only thing holding me upright was his hold on me. It had been over a year since I had had a man's mouth on me, but every other encounter I had ever had pal
NinaI knew I was toast the moment I ran, but the only other option was staying right there and everything inside of me protested at the thought of obeying Santiago. And so I ran. My breath came out short and fast as I pushed through overgrown grass, muscles pumping as I pushed my body as hard as I could. I didn't have any clear destination, and there was probably nothing for miles, and yet I kept on running. Panic gripped me like a vice, squeezing my chest tight as I heard grasses ruffling a distance away. He was coming for me. "Run, Nina." His dark voice drawled behind me, faint enough that I knew he wasn't close, but still, chills still raced up my spine. He can't harm you, a voice in my head pointed out. I ignored it. This wasn't about Santiago hurting me. It was about power, defiance, that dangerous thing that I'd been dancing around since the moment I ran into him at the warehouse. It was about the glint in his eyes when he looked at me, the way his fingers had curled te
Rafael"And then she fell off the fire escape." Tony concluded his report. By then, my jaw was already clenched so tight that it was a miracle my teeth hadn't cracked and shattered. Trading guns and drugs while trying to keep up the facade of the perfect, philanthropic business man was nothing compared to trying to keep that foolhardy cop out of harm's way. For the millionth time, I asked myself why I even cared. It would be far easier to sit back and watch her dig her own grave. By the look of things, she was already half way done with the digging anyway. So why had I hired someone to babysit her? Tony's skills were costing me a pretty penny and he was probably confused as to why he was being made to watch over an FBI agent. He was a top rated and sought after mercenary, not a bodyguard. "Is that all?" I asked. He shrugged, looking bored. "The police spoke to her, combed through her building and my location on the rooftop across from hers." "Good. Continue trailing her." I sai
Nina "I can't believe Paul let you go there!" My best friend hissed over the phone as I trudged home from work the night after our near death experience at The Sprawl. "Let me?" I scoffed. "I don't need Paul's permission. I'm a full grown_" "Don't you dare say adult, because no self preservating
Rafael "How many crates?" Russell asked as he sucked on his Cuban cigar, shrewd gaze taking in the van that was being offloaded. "Ten. There are six containing military level, untraceable machinery, while the others have your crystals." I replied. His mouth curved into an excited smile. "Excelle
Nina "Get in there and get rid of them." I heard someone snarl. "But the boss wanted the girl alive." Another voice argued. "Change of plans." The first person replied. "The bitch now knows too much. She's become a problem. Kill her, kill 'em both." My stomach dropped, and a faint ringing began
Nina "Are you sure about this?" Paul asked as we crawled underneath the wire fence surrounding the sprawl. "No. But it's a little too late to back out now." I told him just as the hem of my dress caught on something sharp. The ripping sound was too loud in the silence that surrounded us. I curse
