Back To Yes
Chapter 21
"Huh.."
Viral drops his tired body on the bed. His mind was glaring, remembering the incident in the hospital.
The white guy never thought that Laluna was seriously ill. Though all this time Laluna has told a lot, but it turns out not all of them. And the fact that Laluna had pain immediately destroyed her heart. Destroyed instantly.
Viral is in love for the first time, it's not fair that he has to lose right then and there.
"Why when I find the right girl, does God take her away from me? Even before I managed to get to him." Viral monologues wily considering the age of Laluna who (he said) will not be long.
If love is a sacrifice, Viral is willing to exchange his life for Laluna.
🍁🍁🍁
Stiffened, Nando was silent in his seat while in front of him sat Mama Lita who was begging him.
"Auntie please, Nando. Laluna needs you."
"I can't, Auntie." Nando refused subtly but firmly.
A drop of tears rolled back from Mama Lita's sad eyes.
"Sorry, Tan, not Nando. But Nando has someone who has filled Nando's heart. And that girl that Nando would later make a wife."
Mama Lita understood, but right now Laluna needed Nando very much.
"But Laluna really needs you, son. This is his last request."
Nando. What does the last request mean?
🍁🍁🍁
'Kauki, this is Laluna. Can we meet?'
Kauki who was sitting relaxing while stroking Fergusou's fur on his bed snorted while getting a message from Laluna. Wonder why the girl knows her cell phone number.
'Sorry, I'm busy.' replied Kauki briefly.
Kauki thought Laluna stopped there, apparently the sweet girl was still replying to her message.
'Clis Kauki. I want to say important things to you.'
Prickled lazily, Kauki threw her phone on the mattress and stroked Fergus's fur back.
Kauki's phone rang a sign calling in, but the girl didn't care. He knows if he called Laluna.
'Meoong.' (get up the phone, Mommy, make a noise!)
"Let's do it, Ferguso. It doesn't matter" said Kauki ngebales meongan Fergus.
By the time Alpha came in, he was on a regular kayak balcony. Alpha's forehead creased as Kauki's heart continued to sing.
"Ki, there's a call."
"Bodo!"
Alpha is getting confused, the guy glances at kauki's phone, apparently an unknown number.
"Who's calling? There's no name."
"Laluna."
"Laluna? She know where your number is?"
Flicking his shoulders indifferently, Kauki revealed Alpha. "I'll'."
Alpha shakes his head and lifts Laluna's call.
"Hello?"
Kauki did not like when Alpha with as good as possible to pick up Laluna's phone.
"It's Alpha, Kauki's twin," Alpha goes up and down the jute-faced eyebrows of Kauki. "Why?"
"..."
Alpha frowned at Laluna's words.
"Oh, yes. I'll take you to Kauki."
"..."
"Okay, bye.."
The phone closed leaving Alpha confused face. "Ki."
"Hm?"
"Laluna wants to meet you."
"Gue tau's. But I don't want to."
"But he wants to meet you at the hospital."
"Hospital?" Alpha nodding, Kauki clucking. "Ngapain anyway."
"Ki, I don't think there's any harm in you laluna."
"But I'm males."
"Yes rather than curious."
"So she's got a bad plan?"
This time it's Alpha who's clucking. "Gue Temenin, I'll take care of you, so he can't macem-macem the same lo" he said then embrace Kauki to the place that Laluna had promised.
Kauki. "Shoot the girls you ask me to be deputy, you want to protect me."
Checkmate!
Alpha is a sinless whimper. Yes yes, too. Haha..
🍁🍁🍁
They arrive at the hospital fifteen minutes later, Alpha goes straight to her nurse.
"Sorry, Sus, is there a friend of mine whose name is Laluna here?"
"There, Mas. Patient in the third floor VIP rose room."
"Patient?"
The two almost similar faces raised their eyebrows. They thought Laluna was here because someone else looked up. But if Laluna's a patient, then that chick is sick again?
"Yes, patient."
With a confused Alpha and Kauki headed to the third floor, where (he said) Laluna was being treated.
They finally arrived at Laluna's doorstep.
"Alpha, are we in?"
"Mh.." Alpha nodded and opened the door slowly and found Laluna sitting on the patient's bed.
Laluna who was writhing at Kauki's arrival instantly gave her smile, a faint smile.
"Kauki, come in, Ki" he said.
Wiggling Kauki who was still frozen, Alpha immediately pulled the girl's arm closer to Laluna.
Kauki stared at the many hoses attached to Laluna's body. Laluna's face also looked pale, her body thin.
"Mh.. Laluna, what's the pain?"
"It hurts badly." Laluna replied ignoring Alpha's confused look. She squirms at the astonished Kauki.
"Gue know you must be confused why I met here. I just want to ask for one thing, Ki. Before I go."
"Where to go?" Kauki looked at Laluna for an explanation.
"To a place far away from here."
Somewhat surprised by the words of Laluna who thought it was strange, but Kauki just sniffed his shoulders.
"What?"
"Gue wants you to let Nando go for me."
Deg.
"No." reject Kauki directly.
"Though that was my last request?"
The confusion grew increasingly apparent on Kauki's face. "You mean?"
Laluna lowered her head, then looked at Kauki with dewy eyes.
"Gue is sick, Ki, third stage heart kenker." lirih Laluna made the two people in front of her gaping.
"The doctor said I don't have much time left. And before I die, I want Nando to be next to me."
Kauki was silent, he did not want to let go of Nando. But squirming Laluna like this, makes Kauki a dilemma.
"Ki?" Alpha touches Kauki's shoulder, the girl's response instead runs out of the room.
Alpha squirms Laluna for a moment, "eh. I follow Kauki first." he said then followed Kauki. Leaving behind the sobbing Laluna, she knew Kauki wasn't that quick to let go of Nando.
Laluna knew her request was too sudden, but Laluna did not have much time left.
"Kauki." call Alpha as Kauki squirms sitting with her hands covering her face.
"Kauki.." call Alpha again and Kauki shows her wet face.
Alpha immediately carried Kauki into his arms, rubbing his best friend's shoulder gave strength. Alpha knows, Kauki's in for a tough choice right now.
"What should be the gue, Alpha? Why does Laluna have to be so sick? Why?" crying Kauki.
Alpha silent not answering, he was confused. Kauki is his best friend, and Alpha supports whatever decision Kauki makes.
But there's Laluna who's seriously ill, and the girl needs Nando, really. Alpha is confused which side.
"Maybe you better take off Nando, Ki."
Kauki looked at Alpha disapprovingly, then shook his head. "Gue can't."
"But Laluna needs more Nando, Ki. This is his first and last request to elo."
"When I let go of Nando, will he die afterwards? Is this really his last request? If he's cured, will he bring Nando back to me?"
"Want he die?"
Kauki shut up, he's not that bad.
"Kauki, I understand your feelings. It is not easy to let go of someone we love. But maybe God has a reason behind all this."
"Gue don't know, I love Nando, Al. He's the best guy I've ever had." said Kauki.
"Gue knows this is hard, but, love doesn't have to have. Sacrificing, that's what you have to do right now. Not that I want to make you separate from Nando, but as a human who has a heart, there is no way you can make Laluna sad for the rest of her life. I know elo, Ki, elo won't be that bad."
Kauki. Actually, that's what Alpha says. But Kauki felt that all this was too fast. He and Nando are even just starting out, do they have to end this fast?
"Gue doesn't know. I need some time, Al."
"Yes, now we go in again, who knows Laluna wants to change her mind." invite Alpha lead Kauki to re-enter Laluna's nursery.
But as soon as they got in, the patient's bed was empty.
"Where's laluna?" wonder Alpha.
Yuck!
Not long ago Alpha threw out his question, at that moment they were shocked by the sound of people vomiting in the toilet.
Soon Kauki and Alpha are headed for the toilet.
"Laluna!"
Kauki and Alpha jolted as Laluna slumped under the sink, and to her surprise, the girl vomited blood. And the blood was splattered around the sink, even to the point of dirtying the hospital clothes that Laluna was wearing.
Kauki immediately embraces Laluna towards the patient bed while Alpha calls the doctor.
🍁🍁🍁
From earlier, Nando's mother also persuaded her son to make Nando more confused.
"Son, maybe you should follow Laluna's will."
"But Nando won't split up with Kauki, Ma."
Mama Nando so follow along with her, on the one hand she did not have the same mother Laluna. On the other hand, Nando's mother also could not bear to maksa his son.
Nando's resolute answer made Mama Lita's heart sliced. Her tears flowed profusely imagining Laluna's sad face as she failed to persuade Nando.
The sound of Mama Lita's cell phone interrupts the inertia in the room.
"Hello, Doc?" Mama Lita stiffened at the response of the person who called her. "Well, Doc. I'll be there soon."
"Why, Mommy?" asked Mama Nando wriggling frantic face mama Lita.
"So the doctor said that Laluna fainted after vomiting blood. Now he's in the ICU." exclaimed mama Lita in a panic.
Mama Nando followed anxiously, glimpsed Nando who was frozen silent.
"That's why we have to go to the hospital now."
🍁🍁🍁
Arriving there, they found two teenagers standing in front of Laluna's room with panicked faces.
Moreover, Nando who was fixated on the existence of the lover and also Alpha.
"Sorry, who are you?" ask mama Lita smooth.
"I'm Alpha, Auntie, this is Kauki. We're Laluna's friends." Alpha replies, Kauki smiles stiffly because there is Nando's mom and Laluna's mom.
"Oh.. Thank you for taking a look at Laluna." said Mama Lita, Alpha.
The open door revealed the doctor who had just treated Laluna.
"Doctor, how's Laluna doing?"
The doctor breathed a moment, hesitating. "Patient conditions are getting worse. Critical patient."
The doctor's answer made Mama Lita's cry break.
"The liver cancer suffered by Laluna has also entered stage four, the cancer he suffered has spread to all organs of the body, must be treated immediately" explained the doctor carefully, afraid to add to the grief of the Laluna family.
The doctor's explanation broke the hearts of some people there, especially the hearts of the crest-haired man who was leaning behind the wall. Virally.
Viral was going to look at Laluna, but his intention was broken because there were many people there. The flower in her hand fell instantly as the doctor informed Laluna of her condition.
Viral can't describe his feelings. He's sad, scared, anxious, all in one. Viral isn't ready to lose Laluna.
"Patients should get a liver donor immediately."
Viral stunned. Heart donation?
Mama Lita's body limp instantly knowing the condition of her son. That woman can only cry. Mama Nando who could not bear to directly rub the shoulder of the mother of her son's ex-boyfriend.
"My advice, Laluna was taken to Singapore only. Because there the facilities are more complete than the ones here. The treatment is more intensive. Honestly we are not able to handle Laluna" said the doctor gave advice.
Alpha squirms Kauki then Nando. Both are silent.
Nando embraces the silent Kauki then takes her girl to the hospital park.
The two arrive at the park and Nando invites Kauki to sit on one of the available chairs.
The bespectacled man stared at the silent-faced Kauki nanar. Nando grabbed Kauki's chin, directing the girl to look at him. And when their eyes met, Nando could squirm at the bewildered, disappointed, sad look at the same time.
Sighing, Nando clenched Kauki's body tightly. Kauki also tightened their embrace. As if you knew that the separation was getting closer.
Kauki sobbed, "What should I do, Nan? I want us to hold on, but Laluna needs you."
Nando nodded, knowing that sooner or later you will know this.
"I know you're worried, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have gotten into your life, Ki."
Kauki shook his head in protest at Nando's words. According to Kauki, Nando's existence was not a mistake. Their meeting, and their decision to have love was not a mistake.
"You're not wrong, Nando, there's nothing to blame."
"But I hurt you. You shouldn't fall in love with a guy like me."
"Nando," Kauki argued. "You're the nicest guy I've ever had. I don't love you. Maybe I'm the bad one here, so God mishin us."
"You're worthy, Ki. You're very decent next to me." said Nando with flushed eyes.
"Why should Laluna win? Why not me?"
Nando also shed tears that had been detained earlier.
"Just go, Nando. Go and heal Laluna."
Nando shook his head, refusing Kauki's request. Kauki actually felt unwilling, but he had to sacrifice for Laluna's recovery.
"Promise me that you'll come back when it's done." Kauki's voice was swallowed by her cries.
Nando's heart grew claustrophobic over hearing it. Cuddling Kauki tightly.
They cry together, letting go of all the longings they won't be able to share in the future. As Kauki and Nando knew, the separation was getting closer to them.
"Until whenever you rule my heart, Kauki, even if you're not next to my corpse."
"Te amo, Nando."
"Yo tambien te amo, Kauki. By siempre."
🍁🍁🍁
Alpha stood up and looked at the scene of the two lovebirds with misty eyes. Her heart churned, sad to wriggle Kauki returned to shed tears of tears from losing love.
But Alpha promises, when Nando leaves with Laluna, Alpha won't leave Kauki's hands empty. Alpha will grab that hand and fill Kauki's fingers with his.
When Kauki's heart is deserted, Alpha promises to fill it up and take care of it.
🍁🍁🍁
Today Laluna was taken to Singapore for better treatment. And today is also the time for Nando to leave half his heart, Kauki.
Kauki with Alpha who was always beside him drove Nando and Laluna away.
Since last night Kauki helped Alpha continue to strengthen his heart, trying to convert Nando to Laluna. Although there is no denying there is a sense of unwillingness in the heart of Kauki.
Too soon, Kauki's mind when remembering the time he spent with Nando felt so short.
The two hands clasped tightly to each other. Neither Kauki nor Nando had any intention of letting go of that grip. They are not ready to separate.
Mama Nando looked at her son, actually she did not have the heart. He approached the two lovebirds.
"Nando's."
"Eh, Mama."
Mama Nando glanced at Kauki and smiled. "It must be Kauki?"
Kauki nodded clumsily, only this time he came face to face with Mama Nando.
Mama Nando again carved a smile, beautiful until Kauki thought the woman in front of him was more suitable to be Nando's sister than his mother.
"It's so pretty of you, son, that Nando's pantesan love is dead" she said, making Kauki smile.
"Thank you, Aunt."
"Darling, sorry Auntie couldn't do anything to help maintain your relationship."
"Tante," Kauki denied. "It's no one's fault, God has it all."
"What is your heart made of, son? If Aunt is you, auntie will maintain the relationship no matter what" said mama Nando glazed over, guilty of not being able to do anything to the two people in front of her.
Not long after the announcement of the departure of the plane to Singapore echoed, making Kauki and Nando clenched each other's grasp.
Missing all promises, all dreams, all dreams,
Sweet dream..
This heartbreak, seeing all this
Lost, has lost happiness in the heart
I can only cry over all this
It's heartbroken to see you've gone
Kauki looked at Nando nanar. "It's time, Nando. Just go."
Nando shook his head instead, hugging Kauki as if unwilling to let go. The eyes that had dried up were now wet again with tears, Nando cried. And so is Kauki.
Mama Nando shed her tears. Unable to see it all, Mama Nando stepped aside after previously stroking Kauki's hair.
Alpha averted his eyes, his eyes wet. She once wriggled a couple apart in the movie, but this time she squirmed straight away. And it feels more depressing.
Nando reached into his pants pocket, taking out a red velvet box. He opened the box and showed me his mother's ring. Who Nando will give to his future wife.
But for Nando, Kauki is his future wife even though they have to separate now.
"Should have been, I was this masangin at our wedding. Not our farewell."
Nando paired the ring on Kauki's ring finger with a trembling hand. Then kiss it inside.
Kauki's tears are getting worse. He once imagined Nando putting a ring on his finger, but when they got married, not apart.
The sky became dark gray
It enveloped my heart, changed my whole life
Why is it all like this, the separation that happened
Between the two of us, the,
Nando took off their embrace and looked at Kauki with his red eyes. "I'm leaving. Don't be sad, someday, you'll get a better man than me."
Kauki nodded, closing his eyes, his heart getting claustrophobic. The farewell has come.
The bright brown-eyed girl touched Nando's cheek. "You too, take good care of Laluna. Give her love until Laluna drowns in happiness."
Nando nodded, hugging Kauki once more. Then take it off with a heavy heart. The man retreated slowly, looking at Kauki, absorbing his memories with the girl, the girl who stole a part of his heart. Which he must now abandon.
Kauki waved his hand, trying to smile convincingly as Nando began to hesitate.
And just as the man turned to leave, Kauki's defense shattered. The girl smothered her mouth, held her mouth strong.
Alpha immediately catches Kauki's body, holds him, gives him peace of mind and tells Kauki that he is not alone.
"Keep your heart, Ki."
"He's gone, Alpha. I. I don't know what to do after.." lirih Kauki almost without a sound, so heart-wrenching Alpha.
"Pst.. Every time there's a meeting, there's a farewell."
"But it's too short, Alpha.." isak Kauki. "Too late.."
Alpha closed her eyes, shedding tears. His feelings were mixed between happy and sad.
Happy that Kauki has no one, and sad that he lost a best friend to Nando.
Alpha promises this is the last tear you shed. After that, there is only happiness.
🍁🍁🍁
Nando sat on the plane seat, his eyes constantly shedding tears, the man crying in silence.
The squirming Mama Nando felt pain, the woman took Nando into her arms. Giving peace through the arms of a mother.
"What a strong one, son."
"Nando loves Kauki, Ma.."
"Mom knows, son.. Mama knows."
I will wait for a miracle
Which makes us get back together..
