A MAN FROM INSTAGRAM

CHAPTER 9: What Is True Love?

Randy and Ifa are still glued to their handrails which provide different sensations for the two human beings. Neither Randy nor Ifa, both do not want to give up the hand grip that is new to them.

Until finally, the arrival of the mother of Eren and Eren's older sister managed to make the handrails of different types of people regardless. However, Eren's mother and Eren's older brother are not too curious about the affair between Ifa and Randy.

“How is Eren, Ifa?” asked Eren's sister while holding her mother's cold hand, while she couldn't say a word. She has been crying since reading the message from Ifa.

“Still doctor checked, sis.” Ifa replied quietly, she became more worried because the doctor had examined her best friend for a long time.

“Can you please tell me the chronology?” pinta Eren's.

Ifa was hesitant to tell the story, because he was worried that he would make the family of his best friend more sad, if he had listened to the chronology of the accident that befell their family members. But Ifa could not cover up the heartbreaking event, he then took a deep breath and told it.

Both Eren's mother and her brother, both listened calmly to the narration of Ifa without cutting or blaming Ifa, because they believed that Ifa also did not want Eren to experience a disaster like this.

“So so bun, sis, chronological. I should have forced Eren into the stall, but since Eren was unwilling, I didn't have to force him either. He said he really enjoyed the atmosphere and the weather this afternoon.” explained Ifa.

“Lantas how is the condition of the stall? Did you have any damage? And how's the impactor, Fa?” the older brother of Eren was very curious.

“Warung was not too damaged kak, only one wooden pole that fell due to Eren's body had nudged him. The perpetrator has been secured by the police, he is positive in the influence of alcohol. I found out the information of the culprit from the police who called me on the way to the hospital, because I did give my number to the police who arrived at the location.”

“So what culprit is already designated as suspect?” mother Eren finally let out her voice.

“The man is still being questioned by the police, bun. The police said they will notify me as soon as possible after the investigation of the perpetrator is completed.” Ifa said with caution.

Mother Eren and her brother Eren just nodded, they were confused to answer what else. Their mouths are at a loss for words.

"I'm sorry Ifa, bun, brother, I'm not looking after Eren. I'm not good at being Eren's best friend" said Ifa Lirih blaming himself.

"Hey! You don't tell me that, you are Eren's best friend, Eren loves you so much, so do your sister and mother." brother Eren hugged Ifa's body, he said, he did not want his brother's best friend to blame himself for events that were not done by him at all.

...***...

"Sorry, I suddenly held your hand. I don't know why my hands are such reflexes" Ifa told Randy. They are just two in front of the ICU room where Eren is being treated now, after his mother and brother Eren entered after being allowed by a doctor.

The doctor said Eren had gone through a critical period, but he was unconscious because he still felt shocked after the accident. It is natural and often experienced by accident victims.

"O yes no papa," Randy was a little confused as to what to answer.

"Btw, what are you doing in the hospital?" ask Ifa.

"My mother is still being treated." Randy answered briefly.

With Ifa for a long time, making Randy's chest feel tight, there was a strange feeling that Randy had never felt before. His heart was pounding irregularly, Randy really did not understand him at the moment.

"I'm sorry, excuse me first." Randy was about to leave, but his legs felt limp like he did not have the energy to just walk into the nursery of Ratih.

Randy walked while sticking his body against the wall, he tried with great difficulty. Ifa saw Randy feeling very sorry. He approached the twenty-one-year-old man.

"You why? I'll take you to the general practitioner, let the doctor check you out." Ifa offered her help.

"No need!" Randy said firmly. But Ifa did not care about it, Ifa immediately swept Randy's body to the public doctor's place.

Instantly Randy's heart rippled, his heart pounded again but there was a slight sense of comfort. Randy eventually complied, without refuting Ifa's offer.

Upon arrival at the general practitioner's room, Ifa immediately entered because the queue was empty.

Ifa immediately helps Randy sit in front of the doctor's chair. Randy immediately told his complaint to the doctor who was floating, but still looks handsome.

The doctor immediately examined Randy after helping him climb into the patient's cage.

"But I was feeling very weak doc, besides that my heartbeat was very fast irregular. Check me out again, "pinta Randy.

The doctor only said he checked Randy again, and the results remained the same. There are no symptoms of mild or severe disease on Randy's body.

"My advice, sir rutinkan again his sport. Sir rarely sports, right?"

Randy was just a whimper, because what the doctor asked was very true. Randy has rarely exercised since he was busy with his work.

"Did you experience it often?" the doctor asked again.

"No, but I experienced it only in certain moments. Only I often experience it when I'm looking at a picture of someone or with that person," Randy just understood, that he often experienced it if he was looking at a photo or with someone.

Ifa had left earlier, he got a call from his brother Eren who reported that Eren was awake and looking for Ifa.

"Aaah, maybe you fell in love with that person. Has the previous master ever felt this way with anyone other than the person the master was referring to?"

"No, I was the first time doc. But what do I feel is natural?"

"Regardless because there are no symptoms of any disease. According to my analysis, this master is very shy about love. So because the master is shy then the master's body responds to it in a unique way. I just met a patient like this master for the first time." said the doctor with a friendly smile.

"But why does my body feel weak? Even if I remember watching a drama, people who are in love do not feel weak?"

"Mom did not, but came back as I said. The master's body responds to it in a unique way, unlike most people in general. Let me get you some vitamins for sir, yeah,"

The doctor prescribed vitamins for Randy to take.

"It's the vitamin recipe."

"Okay, thank you doctor."

"My suggestion, sir immediately expressed the feelings of the master to the woman. Worried he'll shoot first." The doctor gave his last advice, and Randy just smiled.

Randy came out of the general practitioner's office, and walked to the drug site. He wanted to make up for the prescription vitamins that the doctor had suggested.

'Is this really love?' Randy wondered in his heart.

...***...

Randy was already in front of the ICU room where Eren was, he wanted to convince his feelings by trying to chat with Ifa, but the situation was not possible. Because Ifa seemed to really enjoy the moment with her new best friend. It emanated clearly from the bright look of Ifa's face, Randy could feel it even though just staring at Ifa from behind the glass door of the ICU room.

'All right, I'll try to talk to him tomorrow.' Randy's mind. Randy doesn't want to bother Ifa, he leaves.

Randy opens the door to Ratih's nursery, which instantly makes the mother feel very upset. Because Ratih waited for Randy long enough, who did not say where he wanted to go.

"Where have you been? How long, don't say where else. Ran, when did you take mom home? If you don't want to take mom home let me go home alone. I'm bored here, I want to sit in the garden behind the house, want to sleep on my soft mattress. I miss the house!" Ratih sulked while folding both his hands on his chest, he was already very tired of being in the hospital.

"O mother wants to go home as it turns out," Randy said casually, regardless of Ratih's already very bored feelings.

"Well, mom wants to go home. The doctor has given my mother permission to go home!" Ratih was increasingly annoyed by Randy's words that sounded very relaxed.

"Yes, tomorrow we go home."

Ratih did not reply to Randy's words at all, but in his heart was very happy because tomorrow he would go home.

'May we go home tomorrow. Just be careful if you still can't, I want to go home alone!' batin Ratih's.
