ARDIANS

Timeframe one month

A week has passed...

Gerald's been in the hospital for a week. And it's been a week that doctors have found no signs that Gerald will wake up soon.

All hope Gerald wakes up, but the doctor has not given word, if Gerald will soon be aware of his coma.

Jia, Gerald's mom has been eating less this week. Even the woman often daydreamed and kept calling the name Gerald.

Doctor Boy also already knew, if Gerald had no hope for hiudp, there are only special tools in the guy's body that make him still breathe small.

To be sure, if the tool was loose then Gerald would really go. Doctors who already know are actually just resigned, because the person they are treating in the medical language is no longer there.

However, Raga always told the doctors to take care of her child, still put the tool on Gerald's body, although the tool will not make Gerald re-open his eyes.

Doctor Boy is currently examining Gerald's condition along with Ivan's doctor. Boy breathed heavily, without feeling his tears down his cheeks.

Her hands rubbed Gerald's already bald head. Well, the doctors have cut Gerald's hair, because his hair can't be allowed to grow because the wound on Gerald's head is so terrible, if his hair is not bald, the blood remains will still wet his hair creating a fishy and dry smell because of the blood.

Raga only resigned when Doctor Boy 4 days ago said, if the hair belonging to his son will be cut without rest, for the good of Gerald, Raga just nodded because this is for the good of his son.

''Since when?'' boy asked, wiping his tears. Just one week after Gerald was hospitalized, the guy's body was already very thin.

Doctor Ivan who understood Boy's question immediately replied. ''Since he was rushed to the hospital, Boy. I told Gerald's papa that his son has not been around since he was taken to the hospital. I've said also, his son was gone on a trip to the hospital, explained doctor Ivan. ‘’He told me to hide this, especially to his wife. He told me to keep giving intensive treatment to his son. Because he is sure, his son will wake up because of the help of special equipment in this hospital, continued Ivan, making Boy can not hold back his tears.

''Just like we tortured Gerald here, Van. He is no longer there, the help of tools on his body will not be possible for him to open his eyes again, said Boy softly, the man looked at the calm face of Gerald, her beautiful eyes were closed.

Ivan breathed a heavy breath. ''I'm confused, Boy. Two days ago. I told this to Gerald's parents. But he still works to take care of his son in this hospital. He told me not to let go of this device on his son's body, Boy. I do not think, until when this tool will be attached to the body of his son. The tools we put up, won't make him open his eyes. I've explained everything, but he still kekeh, so that his son is treated here.'' Ivan explained at length to Doctor Boy, whose age only differs by a few months.

''Maybe you can talk about this to his parents, so that he can release his son,'' said Ivan, staring at Gerald's thin body. ''I feel sorry for his son, Boy. His soul was about to leave, but we held him back, Ivan continued in a trembling voice.

''Later I persuade his parents, only he can give up Gerald, ''' said Boy, smiling to see the handsome face of Gerald that was closed so beautifully. ''I thought too, Van. If my sister gets to know this, she's sadder. Family problems for him to hurt, I believe he is more tormented if he knows this, continued Boy with a heavy voice.

***

Right now Raga, her papa Gerald is in the doctor Boy's room, the two of them facing each other against a table that restricts them.

''Om,'' call Boy. ''Om sure you know that, if Gerald....''

Rara's facial wrinkle blushed, holding back tears. So Boy did not continue his words.

''Omm already know,'' replied Raga with a great shaking voice.

''Of...Does Raga not want to let go of Gerald?'' First, Boy took a deep breath, before continuing his words. ‘’Please Gerald, om, '' Boy continued, he spoke to Raga in a soft voice.

''His wife wants to leave, but we're holding him. We tortured Gerald, um. Let Gerald go, even if it's heavy. Just because we keep him here, he won't open his eyes again. Except Allah wills.'' Boy even back up his tears, raising his head so his tears don't come down.

While Raga lowered her head, crying was held back but her voice could still be heard by Boy.

''Om not sure what to say to my wife.'' Tangis Raga is so sad. ‘’Have one week he rarely ate, he only ate one spoon. He wants Gerald to wake up. If he knew, Gerald was not there, om do not know how Jia's condition is now, he would be more tormented, om afraid if this makes it stressful,'' raga said at length still with tears dripping. ''Of....Already sincerely wanted to release the tools from Gerald's body, and tried to release the child om for good. But om can't if you remember your wife again, she will be hysterical if the tool installed on Gerald's body will be removed.''

Boy breathes heavily, this is so hard!

''Please, let the device be attached to Gerald's body. Om can't bear to see Jia....''

''Until when is om?'' tanya Boy made Raga take a deep breath before answering the question of her best friend's son.

‘’Let the tool be installed for one month, if it has been one month Gerald does not open his eyes, then om will accept everything.'' Raga explained at length, he was sincere if later he did not see his wife's smile again, he sincerely if Jia's body would be thinner because of this, he sincere if later Jia much daydreaming. Or the thing that attacks Jia more, which is stress.

Just thinking about that made Raga not know, if she could live her life with vigor. He will lose Gerald for good and lose the old Jia.

Boy finally nodded, he would wait a month, to release the device on Gerald's body.

Boy put his body on the sofa, after Raga left his room.

''Ra, I'm also confused to say what you are. If you know this, your best friend is not there, Boy muttered as he closed his eyes.

It seems, for a few days, Nanda free to go to school. Yes, because since Gerald has not been aware, the girl is a lot of daydreaming, not listening to the teacher when explaining, not concentrating in the classroom. More daydreaming, in class.

The proof alone, the teacher is currently pinning down in front, but the girl is just daydreaming. She was at school, but she thought she was in the hospital, waiting for news about Gerald to be delivered by her brother, Boy. But until now, Nanda did not say good news from Boy.

‘’Nanda!'' The teacher who was teaching the class called out the girl's name. How not, if the girl had just daydreamed.

''Na,'' call Salsa. However the girl did not budge as well, making Salsa instantly nudge the girl's arm, making her flinch in shock.

Nanda glanced at Salsa, then said. ''Why ''Why?'' ask the girl in a low voice.

''Focus, Na. From that teacher in front of your country, said Salsa, so Nanda immediately looked ahead.

The teacher saw, the girl's eyes were black. Her eyes were so cute, her face looked dull like a girl who had a lot of burden.

''Sorry, ma'am, '' said Nanda. He said, he'd be free to go to school, if the edges would be like this again.

The teacher shook his head. ''You sick?'' ask the teacher, so that all eyes are on Nanda.

''No, ma'am, ''' she replied. Even though he answered no. But the teacher guessed that the student was not okay.

What's the news about Papa Nanda's fire in this school. In fact, Kesya has not been to school, it has been a week more the girl did not go to school.

''Salsa, you sent your friend to uks. Have him rest there, '' the teacher's mother ordered and replied to a nod of the head by Salsa.

The girl stood up from the chair she was sitting on, then pulled Nanda's hand out of the classroom. Nanda just resignedly saw Salsa pull her hand out of the classroom.

Inside the uks, there was only him and also Nanda.

''No way, '' Nanda replied with a sigh making Salsa shake her head.

Nanda was sitting on the gurney, her legs were swinging.

''Lo know, Sal. My best friend's news makes me sicker, than my papa news with other women.''

Salsa rubbed Nanda's back. ''You're patient, I'm sure Gerald will wake up, he'll spare his childhood best friend.'' Salsa held Nanda's hand. ‘’Back school, we look at Gerald. Who knows, he can hear you say, continued Salsa with a cry to make Nanda smile thinly.

Geck...Geck...Tok

Uks door on tap, Salsa directly walked to the door to immediately open the uks door.

Chequek.

Salsa opened the uks door, apparently the one who came was Ardian.

''You sick?'' salsa asked, seeing that there's an Ardian here. Tumben-tumbenan that guy to uks.

‘’Where are you?'' notya replied, Ardian asked back.

''There's inside, '' Salsa replied, so Ardian went straight in. He looked at Nanda's feet and opened the curtains.

The eyes of Nanda and Ardian clashed, Ardian's speech at the hospital a few days ago made Nanda remember him again. She still clearly remembered, what Ardian had told her.

Salsa made room for Ardian and Nanda.

''Create lo.'' Ardian gave five pieces of gum. ''Who knows, this gum makes you strong again, ''' continued Ardian with a thin smile, as thin as a tissue.

''Thanks,'' said Nanda, taking the gum.

Ardiam just nodded small. Nanda started to open the gum that Ardian gave her, it's been a few days since the gum didn't touch her tongue.

‘’Back school, I'm the same friend I want to go to the hospital to see Gerald. Who knows if you want to come, Ardian made an offer to Nanda. ''Who knows, the wind of Jakarta can make your mind cooler again.''

Nanda thought for a moment, maybe by riding the bike he forgot this.

''Ok,'' said Nanda assented Ardian's remarks.

''Go first, I'm just here to check out the gum. Because I know, you definitely need that.'' Ardian immediately breezed away leaving Nanda.

Salsa came back in, after Ardian left.

''You want to be with them, Na?'' salsa asked unintentionally hearing their conversation this one.

''Yeah, that's okay, right? Who knows if riding a motorcycle can make my mind a little fresh, Nanda replied, while remembering the words Ardian earlier.

''Yes, it's okay. Let me ride with the others in the car, said Salsa and replied to a small nod by Nanda.

***

The doorbell rang, the students were scattering from class to get home. Cika and her two best friends walk towards the uks, with Salsa and Nanda bags in her hands.

Puri and Cika have improved, Puri who apologized first to his best friend, because he knew this was his fault.

Nanda and Salsa came out of the uk, along with the arrival of the three themes.

''So'n the hospital?'' cika asked after handing over the bag that belonged to Nanda and Salsa.

''So, really. Nanda is not with us, he is with Ardian, ''' Salsa explained including the reason why Nanda wants to join Ardian.

Cika nodded in understanding, then they immediately walked towards the parking lot.

Sampi in the parking lot, Nanda sees the children of ARIGEL staring at him, he believes the son of ARIGEL is waiting for him, but Nanda does not see Ardian in the midst of his friends.

''here!'' call Ethan, waving his hand at Nanda.

''Kesana gih, it has been called tuh, '' said Pute, so that Cika, Puri and Salsa immediately look at the child ARIGEL

‘’Gue went there first, '' said Nanda to the theme and only replied to a nod of the head.

Rafael is straddling with drugs, accidentally his eyes met with the eyes of Salsa. Some days Salsa did not bother him, perhaps because he understood the situation.

''Where's the indian?'' ask Nanda.

''Udah to the hospital first, he told the four of us to wait lo, '' said Izam made Nanda nod small.

He thought he was going to be with Ardian. He didn't expect, the problem was that Ardian offered him but the guy left first.

''Oiya, who am I?'' ask Nanda.

‘’My name,'' said Rafael to make Nanda speechless. He wants to talk to Ethan, but Leo speaks up.

''Lo with Rafael. According to Ardian's orders to us, said Leo and reciprocated a nod of the head by the others.

Rafael is wearing his helmet. Just waiting for Nanda to approach him to get on the bike immediately.

''Lo calm down, Ardian never wrong people, make a girl nitip that he likes, '' said Izam, making Ethan immediately elbow the guy's stomach
