HAPPY READING 🙏🙏🙏🙏

“Nevent so go?” Tanya was surprised. Did he hear wrong? Last night Aria and Leon's brother didn't go alone. Then he saw Aria nod. Shoulder Fani immediately sagged disappointed, “Darling once. Yes, it is, Ri. I go home first. You've been picked up?”

“Already in front, but I still want to be here any minute.” Reply Aria.

“Okay then, I'm first.” Pamit Fani then.

“Cautious.” Reply Aria. Now in the classroom there are only Aria and Gabriel who had just watched the two girls chat from the teacher's chair.

Aria then turned her head and found Gabriel looking at her with sad eyes, not as usual who was always cheerful. For a while they looked at each other without any sound coming from their mouths. Aria felt a strange turmoil within her at this moment, she was about to part with her ghost friend. After this, the two of them would go somewhere Gabriel had not told them yet. And Aria had to deliver a message from Gabriel to her mother, that was Gabriel's last wish before actually leaving quietly.

“Are you really ready to leave this world?” Ask Aria carefully. Then he saw Gabriel nodding.

“This is the best for me, Aria. I'm very ready.”

Aria's chest felt so heavy and tight to hear the firmness of Gabriel's reply, “Alright then.. We go now.”

The car finally arrived at the hospital. Actually Aria wonder why Gabriel brought her here, instead of Gabriel said he wanted to invite her to meet his mother? Or maybe her mom is sick?

“I'll explain after we sign in.” Gabriel said it was like he could read Aria's mind. Aria just nodded.

After the car is parked. Aria told Mr. Udin, “Pak, I'll see a friend for a while. Sir udin wait here only.”

“OK, Non.” Answer the middle-aged man in his fifties.

Aria came out and stepped hesitantly into the hospital. Why is his feeling so bad?

While Gabriel kept telling the way to get to where he was headed. They keep walking.

“Stop. We have arrived.” Gabriel said.

“Where is your mama now?” Aria asked in surprise while observing around. He only saw an empty corridor ahead.

“Get to the left, the woman who was there was my mama.”

Aria. Through the glass on the door of a VIP room in front of him, he could see inside very clearly. Eyes squinting. Yes, inside there was a middle-aged woman sitting near the patient's bed, and on that bed seemed to lie someone who did not see how her face looked.

“Who is sick there?” Aria asked half-whispered to Gabriel.

“You know the guy.” Gabriel replied with a mysterious smile.

“Who?” Aria was confused by Gabriel's reply.

“We go in first. I'll explain later in.”

Aria knocked on the door, and before long Gabriel's mother opened the door. He looked at Aria confusedly, then asked, “Who is it?” Asked the middle-aged woman was friendly.

“I'm his friend Gabriel, aunt.” Reply Aria. This woman in front of him looked pale and tired from the dark circles in both of his eyes.

“Oh, Please login.” Mama Gabriel let Aria in.

Aria stepped in while Gabriel's mother immediately approached the bed and rubbed the lying man's right hand, from earlier Aria was curious about someone lying on the bed. He could not see his face because the man's head was wrapped in bandages and in his mouth there was an oxygen hose. Aria suspected that the patient was seriously ill, because of the number of medical devices attached to his body. Near the bed on the table is a square-shaped device that continues to sound, Aria knows the device is used to detect heart rate. He was actually very afraid of this kind of atmosphere. But for Gabriel's sake, he had to do it.

As soon as she got closer to the edge of the bed, Aria heard Gabriel's mama say something near the man, “Gabriel, a friend came to see you, she was beautiful. Are you still not awake?”

Aria's eyes widened, Did He just misheard? No way! He had to make sure, before he could open his mouth, the Ghost Gabriel now standing across the bed immediately explained in a regretful tone, “I didn't mean to lie. But he is me, Aria. I'm sorry I never told you about this. Because no matter what happens, once my wish is fulfilled, I will leave this world forever. So it's not important to tell the truth I'm still in a coma.”

Aria's legs felt limp, so she had to hold on to the edge of the bed. He still could not believe all of this, the one in front of him was Gabriel. A drop of tears came down her cheek, Why is her chest so painful? He hastily wiped away the tears before Gabriel's mother saw him. Suddenly there was a hope that Gabriel could stay alive. And if He did his plan, He would see the comatose Gabriel die in front of him.

“Aria, now is the time.” Gabriel said.

Aria looked at Gabriel on the nano bed, then shook her head slowly.

“Aria Tree. Allow me to live quietly in my new world.” Petanya.

Aria was in a big dilemma, Why would she worry like this? Didn't he promise to help Gabriel?

He clenched his hands tightly, then looked at Gabriel's mother who was trying to talk to Gabriel who was lying down.

“Tante there's something I have to say.”

The woman turned her head with a smile, “Iya. Just say.”

Aria approached, then took a deep breath, “Gabriel once told me before the accident.” Seen mama Gabriel looked at himself seriously as soon as he heard the name of his son called, “Actually Gabriel regretted having wronged you, he thought you had hidden the reality about his father from him, he said, because you hate papa Gabriel too much. Actually Gabriel wanted to apologize to you a long time ago, Aunt.”

“Iya. After knowing all the truth, he was very sorry. Maybe Gabriel will be happy if you forgive his mistake.”

Now Aria sees Gabriel's mama shedding tears, “That boy is always stubborn.. Surely he found out for himself about all that.” Then he spoke softly to Gabriel who was not flinching at all, “I'm sorry mama has hidden it all from you. Because mama knows you'd hate your papa if you knew the truth.” After peeling the back of his son's hand, he continued, “You wake up Yel, Mama has forgiven you. Mama misses you. Who will accompany mom if you are like this?”

Aria's tears also came down without being held back. He looked at Ruh Gabriel who was looking sad at his mother, then the Spirit looked at Aria with a smile, and said, “Thank you. I won't forget you Aria.”

“Maybe it's not a good time, but it turns out I have something to tell you before I actually leave. I'll be calm if I tell you this. I think I like you, Aria. I love you so much.”

Aria was stunned for a while before finally being surprised by Gabriel's mother's screech, followed by the sound of a heart rate meter that shrieked loudly and long. Aria limp saw the graph that only showed a straight line. Gabriel, don't go!

“Gabriel, you have to survive nak.” Mama said Gabriel was panicking.

Aria immediately looked for a red button that turned out to be on the wall near the table. He pushed it repeatedly, so that the doctor quickly came. He pressed the button while looking at the old Spirit of Gabriel, which gradually faded, and finally disappeared. Aria cried without a sound, only this time she felt lost. He approached Gabriel's body beside his mother who was sobbing.

“Gabriel, you can definitely hold on. Come back for us.” Whispers raspy.

Then the doctor came with two female nurses. All shrouded Gabriel's body, while his mother continued to cry while holding his son's hand. Aria could not continue to be there, her chest was getting claustrophobic. Her tears did not stop either. He walked out of the room with a giant step. Still can't believe Gabriel left him out of this world.

Everything feels so different. It was quiet and boring for Aria. Now no one appeared suddenly in front of him and made him shocked. No chatter made him presumed insane if people saw him. And also, no one accompanied him to see the stars at night like yesterday.

Aria closed her book, she sat leaning against the pillow while bending her knees and wrapping her arms around her legs. His gaze was bright, there was still such a deep sense of loss. Shouldn't be this sad? Didn't he get used to being alone without a friend? Even now in his new class he has Fani and others. That should be enough to overcome her loneliness.

I think I like you.

The words were still ringing in Aria's ears. Gabriel had expressed feelings for him. It was the first man to do something like this. Aria did not understand what happened to this feeling.

—

“Aria, you why?” Fani asked so Aria came with a sad-looking face.

Aria turned to Fani who was sitting on her own stool and replied, “Nothing. Slightly not feeling well.”

“Chemistry is in the first hour again. You've learned to repeat, Ri?”

Aria shook her head, “I forgot.” He answered and immediately occupied his chair. He took a chemistry book to learn a little more about the formulas. Aria took a deep breath. He could not imagine a news coming from school to tell everyone that Gabriel was gone. Aria's chest is getting heavier.

Fani wonder “Masa? Really tumben!”

Then the crowded voice of the class that had continued to echo because the teacher had not come, now suddenly disappeared. Makes Aria and Fani wonder.

“Jeez, Dia!” Screeched Fani while covering her mouth with one hand. The other hand pointed in a direction.

Aria stunned. Unaware he held his breath for a few seconds while wide in wonder. His chest was beating very hard. His eyes did not turn away from the figure of the man who had just entered the classroom. He saw her smiling widely and some of the boys in the class even approached her while hugging happily. Is he dreaming now? Is this real? And now the man is staring at him. After talking to his friends, the man started to move. Aria was still stunned in her seat. Slowly the man approached towards himself with a smile, of course with a very familiar smile in Aria's eyes.

Now, the man was standing in front of Aria. While Aria still had not found her voice.

“How are you?” Greet that man.

“You? Is this really you, Gabriel?”

“Yes. This is me your friend.” Gabriel nodded with reddened eyes. Blissfully. It was very interesting for Gabriel to say how happy he was now because God still gave him this wonderful opportunity to meet Aria again.

Aria got up as she approached Gabriel, “Did I dream?”

Gabriel directly replied, “I'm really here.”

“Gosh.” Aria said while covering her mouth with both hands.

Gabriel smiled widely, “I'm very happy. And I'd love to tell you something again. That I love you.” I'm Gabriel in a low voice. But the children around them could hear it. They cheered, but were astonished to find out that Aria and Gabriel had known each other before.

“So sweet's. Looks like we missed the story.” Fani Sahut.

“I love you too, Gabriel.” Reply Aria. Then Gabriel hugged him tightly. Let's just all see. Most importantly, Gabriel had returned to her. Gabriel hugged the girl even tighter as if he didn't want them to separate anymore.

“That time I felt like I was floating among the clouds. But an angel came and told me I wasn't there yet. I must return soon to accompany those who love me. Yes, I was given a second chance. After waking up from a coma, I saw my mother's crying face when she was looking at me. At that moment I understood the reason why I came back to this world. And also for Aria. The second woman I've always wanted to protect. Miraculously, even though I had just fallen into a coma, my body was as fresh as it had just come from sleep. I immediately thought of not wasting my time meeting Aria. Because I miss that girl so much. The next day, I immediately went to see the woman I loved very much at school. We are so happy to see you again. I'll use this time bonus for the meaningful and for the people who matter to me.” – Gabriel –

Finishes.
