ALINEA LOVE

41

Sayup Sora heard in the mouth of the patient's gurney in the corridor around the room where he was being treated. He squinted his eyes when the light of his room light forced through his cornea. He tilted his gaze and looked at Aga who was asleep on the sofa located not far from the safe.

His gaze changed out the window, from behind the curtains Sora saw the sun was slowly driving away the stars, giving a golden yellow color in the sky of Surabaya.

Sora pulled up and sat down first, fixing the instant headscarf that was not too wide to be symmetrical and neat. He glanced back at Aga, Unbearable because it had been too much trouble for the man, Sora chose to go down by himself carrying his infusion bottle and went to the bathroom to clean himself.

His hand felt everything around him to be held. Either because of the impact effect or indeed because too long asleep make Sora's head keliyengan.

"Gee...,"

Sora felt his surroundings swirling around so he could not control himself. He felt like his body was about to fall, but he felt someone holding him back.

"Why not ask for help, anyway?"

Yeah, who else if it wasn't Aga who helped him.

"Where are you going?" ask Aga.

"I want to take a shower, my body is so sticky." Answer Sora.

"But your situation is like this, you'll do it. I've got an assistant at home here to help you take a shower." Aga drove Sora back to his safe.

"If I have been brought home, I will go back to your house first, Ga. I don't want aunty to worry about seeing my situation, aunty can tell my mom." Sora said after sitting on his safe.

Aga who was hanging the bottle of infusion in its original place just nodded.

Sora picks up his phone on the nightstand as the notification light of his phone keeps flashing. A lot of missed calls there. He saw a phone history list.

"Sky, Sky, Sky, Sky, Sky, Sky, Sky, Sky..." Sora read slowly, "Tumben nih son phone up to this much?" Mumbled.

"Sky call you, Ga?" ask Sora to Aga.

"No, he did call you last night, but I ignored him."

"Tumben, anyway." Sora made a call back to Sky. "You didn't tell him about my condition, did you?" Sora asked while waiting for her phone to connect.

"No.." answered the Aga.

"Hallo, Ra! Where on the phone how many times not picked up!" Belom Sora greeted, Sky already shouted at him.

"Busy!" The original answer was, "What, anyway? tumbenan called me up to that much?"

"Almeer and Meera called me, she said she called you can't. She's taking us to her wedding."

"Huahahahahaa..," Sora laughed at his pain.

"Damn it! Stop laughing!"

"Adududuuuh, my dear brother. Tragic love story."

"You invited him, right?" ask Sky.

"I don't know, I just saw Hape on your phone. When did he get married?" ask Sora.

"Goddess...,"

"Well, really?"

"Well I'll call you, I'm confused about what gift?" ask Sky, "Home? a car? the shares? the diamonds? ayooo, Ra's. Give me ideas don't let it!"

"That's bad!?" Sentak Sora's. "Why do you want to give home, car or luxury everything? want to show off that you're richer than Meera's husband?"

"I stand wearing tattered clothes camping so everyone can guess if I'm actually a rich man, showing off like that is just a waste of my nobility."

Sora flicked his lips, amused at the sight of Sky. "Bawain a pot of water for him to cook. If you want to make coffee for her husband Keinget it's a gift from you."

"That's great, Ra... No other ideas?" Sky's voice sounded clear.

"Did you give me a set of prayer tools?" sora Sentak.

"The intention, given by ijab qobul...,"

Sora turned her lips back and rolled her eyes. "Udah do not need to macem-macem.., I'm calling you back just for ginian..."

"Loh, Ra! I—"

"Assalamu'alaikum!" Sora immediately disconnected his Phone connection.

He looked back at his phone history, yes there were two missed calls from Ameera and several calls from Almeer. He frowned when he saw one of Almeer's calls being connected and took the conversation more than a minute.

He looked at Aga who was already sitting on the sofa that he made sleep last night, the man was also looking at him with his cold expression.

"What did you say to Almeer?" sora asked, there was no smile on her face.

"She just asked if you were okay? I said yes." answered Aga lazily.

"You didn't say I was hurt, did you?" ask Sora.

"I should have told him, let him be self-conscious!"

Bugs!

Sora throws a pillow beside her at Aga.

"Don't macem-macem! I don't want him to worry and interrupt his work!"

Aga drew a sigh. He stood up and returned the pillow over Sora's gurney. Instead of returning, he approached Sora who was still sitting on the edge of the gurney. The man was standing right in front of Sora, he slowly bent his body, making his face parallel to Sora's. Both hands were placed on the edge of the gurney, right on the right and left side of Sora's body to support his body.

Sora tried to pull his body back, keeping his distance from the man who was looking cold. But his left hand tucked in an infusion needle and his right arm and bruised shoulder limited him to move. Aga was too close to him that he could hear and feel the breath coming out of Aga's nose.

"Ga—"

"From now on I won't forgive anyone who makes you cry, whoever it is! Including Almeer."

For the first time Sora felt intimidated by the look in Aga's eyes, the eyes seemed to pull his two eyeballs to stay focused on Aga and make his body still without wrinkles. He did not agree with Aga's will, but he could not shake his head either.

"I can't see you get hurt, Ra." Aga's voice turned weaker, "I hope you can understand it." Pinta Aga's.

Sora just nodded without saying anything, he was still dumbfounded looking at Aga.

Aga smilingly got an answer from Sora, he rubbed several times the head of Sora who was wrapped in a headscarf.

Sora immediately brushed it off, "Don't touch me unless you're helping me."

Aga straightened his body again, "If only you knew I was struggling to hold back from hugging you." He muttered as he left.

"St! The hospital, don't yell!" Aga.

Sora pursed his lips, "You are, anyway" he lamented.

Aga smiled slightly, "I'm out for a moment, don't go anywhere." Aga said then exited the room.

As far as Aga was concerned, Sora looked back at her phone and made a phone call to Almeer. He doesn't want to worry Almeer.

Tuout....

"Hallo, Assalamu'alaikum Sora."

Just one note away, Sora's call is connected.

"Campaign, Al. What if I pick up the phone?"

"I'm gonna call you, Ra. But you called faster...,"

"I just saw a phone, Aga said you called me last night. Sorry, I slept faster last night." Sora.

"I'm worried, look at you yesterday morning with a speeding car. I'm trying to call you can't..."

Sora bowed in shame, it turns out Almeer saw her speeding on the road. The man must have thought he was jealous.

"Ah, yes... I have business in Surabaya so have to hurry up, afraid of being late." Sora lying covers her feelings.

"I think you're angry for seeing me with Kanaya."

"Hahahaha, No, Al... Don't think like that, it's not true." Sora frowned, his mouth lying too much.

"Ra, me and Kanaya are not what you think. We're just friends from small and Kanaya—"

"Al.., I'm sorry, I don't want you to keep talking about it.." Pinta Sora, even for an explanation her heart can't hear.

Almeer paused for a moment trying to understand Sora's will, "Yes, Ra." she replied resignedly.

Sora twisted the brain, looking for conversation material so that their conversation was not awkward.

"Al, I got word from Sky that the day after Meera's getting married?" ask Sora.

"Yes, he's reluctant to invite you. Afraid your papa won't let you. Yesterday I forced him to try to contact you, but you didn't accept his call. So I helped him call Sky. You guys can come?"

"Yes. God willing we come."

"When are you going home to Malang, Ra?" ask Almeer.

"Mmm, I haven't been able to go home to Malang, Al. I still have business here...,"

"Together Aga?"

"I.. yaaaa..," Sora replied hesitantly, "But there is a housekeeper. there is a driver as well, ada—"

"I hope you can go home soon to Malang, Ra." Almeer's voice rang out.

Sora knew, along with Aga would make the man's feelings hurt. But he also could not make Almeer see the situation now.

"I'm sorry, Al. I really need to be here now." Her speech.

No response from Almeer.

"Al..," call Sora.

"Tomorrow I have to go to Jogja, Ra."

"We'd better meet in Jogja, Al." Sora Heavy said that.

"Is that so, Ra?"

"Yes, Al...,"

"Alright, Ra. Take good care of yourself. Assalamu'alaikum...,"

"Needles...,"

The end of the conversation was quite stifling for Sora, I'm sorry, Al.

"Why not talk to her honestly?" ask Aga who turns out he heard Sora and Almeer's conversation on the phone.

Sora just bowed and shook his head.

"Your reason would have made him misunderstand...,"

"Let it be, rather than him having to look at my condition like this." Sora.
