"This who? Kiran's boyfriend?"

Fatih. The stomach acid seemed to go up to the esophagus hearing the question asked by Kiran's mother, "Not aunty. I am Ratih, a friend of Kiran," Ratih said with a clumsy smile. It feels bad.

Roka laughed at hearing that, especially seeing the silly expression and heartburn clearly on Ratih's face, "Kiran's girlfriend is different again, Mother. The mother's child is a high-class playboy at school," joked Roka who suddenly invited a light laugh from Kiran's mother.

He let them in and sat down on the sofa. In this room, there is a translucent room that is insulated by clear glass as a separator between patients and visitors. Because all the facilities in this room are so complete and many, it does not rule out the possibility that it can interfere with patient rest. Therefore, the hospital provides a kind of partition or other space for patients and all medical equipment but using glass so that patients can still be monitored from various sides.

"Auntie wait outside. You guys talk to Kiran," Liliana patted Roka on the shoulder while smiling knots at Ratih and then stepped out of the room.

Roka led in the back to enter the room where Kiran was. Naya walked a step behind Roka while Train two steps behind. He exhaled heavily upon seeing Kiran's body wrapped in bandages. When viewed from the portion of the bandage, Kiran's body is certainly part of the most severe injury. His feet were also bandaged with bandages in some parts while on his face there were only a few small scratches that Ratih concluded were caused by broken glass.

"Hello, Bro," Roka walked over to Kiran's bed.

The man who was lying weak turned his head and smiled. He moved his hand slowly to shake Roka's hand, "Hi. Hi Naya, and... Trainer? Haiiii," Kiran smiled faintly as she saw Ratih visiting her as well.

Roka looked at Kiran with a look of pity. In just a few seconds the man's eyes began to glaze over because he could not see his best friend was in this terrible condition, "You should not be fooled and hurt people," said Roka while rubbing the corners of her watery eyes.

"Yee. Actually I also do not intend to know lo, it's a reflex movement doang," Kiran reasoned. He did push Edy on purpose, with full awareness that he might accept the risk of being hit by the big lights. And in accordance with the allegations, now he was really hit by a lamp and had to undergo treatment.

"Where are you feeling? Isn't it sick?" Naya walked to Kiran's bedside, observing the bandages that wrapped the man more clearly.

Kiran sniffed her shoulders even though her movements were not too obvious because it was difficult for Kiran to move her body, "So you ask anyway Nay? The seams feel very hot fitting the effect of the drug has been abis. As hot as it feels," explained Kiran who this morning felt very agonized because of the heat she felt all over her body after the effects of drugs given to her were exhausted.

Ratih just kept quiet while looking at Kiran who tried hard to look normal and fine. Consciously or not, Kiran frowned several times in the middle of her conversation with Roka and Naya because she had to endure pain that Ratih herself could not imagine how. Honestly seeing Kiran in this condition made Ratih feel the pain. He wants to help Kiran through all this and continues to give her support but she realizes that she is nothing. There are people who are more entitled to it, Ratih. Some are more entitled. His inner.

That night, they talked about a lot of things. Ratih who was originally only silent because he felt sad finally began to be able to put themselves and participate in their exciting talks. Kiran, who had been feeling lonely all the time, was made to laugh and be enthusiastic by the arrival of her three friends. Moreover, Roka who was very noisy seemed to try hard to comfort them all. At least now Kiran felt she was not a patient who could only lie down and wail.

Time passed quickly because they were busy talking and joking. The four of them only realized that they had been talking for hours when a nun entered the room and said it was time for Kiran to rest.

Roka and Naya say goodbye to Kiran as well as Ratih who smiles while crossing her arms. He shook his head slowly and said, "But you are very upset," he said.

Kiran smiled, "Thank you for worrying. I usually see you are not rich. What's up?"

Ratih shook his head slowly, "Gue go back first huh. Lo okay. Eat a lot so that dried chips are wound," said Ratih while pointing at the body of Kiran wrapped in a bandage in layers.

"You want to come again, that's okay. I was just happy if there was a theme. It's better than being in them all day while eating oxygen tubes as well as infusion tubes," Kiran who felt lonely tried to say her anxiety every time she was left alone.

Ratih nodded, "Gue will come often if it can help you feel better" he said as he walked out, leaving Kiran along with a nurse who looks like she will replace the bandage that wrapped the man's body.

Whether when and where, Ratih has read a literature that says that patients after a severe accident or severe illness left alone during treatment or recovery will be more susceptible to stress. This can indirectly affect their health condition and slow down the healing process.

This time Ratih will be neutral and will be happy to help Kiran as a friend. At least this is all he can do to help Kiran recover and after that, Ratih will really try to forget Kiran and start arranging her heart for a new love story. He will throw his feelings away while maintaining their friendships and good relationships at any time because he wants to deal with all this with adults instead of acting childish by choosing to stay away and be hostile.

That night Ratih walked slowly to the parking lot. His tall and slim body and beautiful and charismatic face attracted the attention of many men even though he did not wear makeup or striking clothes. Only a short-sleeved t-shirt with ripped jeans was bought from an online shop when there happened to be a discount. But that's how Ratih is. He himself feels uncomfortable because too often viewed as perfect by most people while he is well aware that he has many shortcomings. Everyone has flaws and so does he.

It's Wednesday morning. The third day of effective study ended with a week full of free time and empty lessons. Although most students claim to be bored if there are too many empty hours, in fact, the lesson hours do not make them feel happy. And that's how humans are. Never satisfied and enough for all they can.

The incident that befell Kiran on Sunday is still a hot topic of conversation discussed by students from grade 10 to grade 12. There were a lot of rumors and rumors among the students. Not only about how Kiran's current condition and state, they also started discussing and reviewing all about Kiran. Old news that can not be ascertained the truth back on the air, back into the conversation. Conspiracy theories that the accident was intentional also began to be discussed, although they cannot be ascertained from where the source was. Not just that, though, ratih's name was again related to this event including Rendi who succeeded in becoming the most suspect by the majority of students and students in their school if indeed this incident was not a pure accident.

Of course, all that is just gossip and speculation because there is no supporting fact. The only fundamental thing that made many students suspect Rendi was the news that the fall of the lamp was caused by a missing bolt. The problem was, all four bolts that were on four different sides were lost at the same time. If the bolts are released due to natural factors, it is certainly impossible if the four are released at the same time. Unless someone intentionally lets it go.

Although Ratih felt uncomfortable with all the news of the bird that seemed to buzz everywhere and whenever he went, there was nothing he could really do. He does not try to remind people or react with the news because he is aware that the more he reacts, the more gossip will be circulating. It was not impossible that people would talk about him and Kiran if he stood up for the man and told everyone to be quiet. He was aware that his every action was a concern to so many people that the only thing he could do was to be silent. At least with silence he will not cause new rumors and provide new topics for people to talk about.

Ratih sipped his ice candle lazily as someone placed a bowl of meatballs on the table then sat right next to him.

"Mrs?" Ratih. He was just about to throw a fist if it turned out that the person sitting next to him was a man.

Naya smiled as she placed a glass of iced orange on the table, "Gue is sitting here huh?"

Ratih narrowed his eyes, revealing an ugly expression as he said, "Lo's already sitting down."

Naya laughed as she devoured a meatball without biting it first, "Tumben lo alone?"

Ratih played the plastic ice liling in his hand then sipped it once more and said, "Gue males is just as cool as me. They are not much different from the others. I'm sick of them talking nonsense gossip. Even I wouldn't be surprised if even now they might talk to me in the back," Ratih took off the black hair pigtail that was coiled around his wrist and then tied his hair carelessly, "Lately so hot."

Naya barely chokes when glancing at Ratih, as a woman she feels insecure and amazed when she sees the girl from the side. Ratih's neckline is very beautiful, especially with clean and smooth skin. Big nose and sexy lips? it looks perfect when viewed from the side. It is not an exaggeration to call it the most beautiful student in school.

"Why?" now Naya was completely choked when Ratih suddenly turned to her.

"Sori-sori, you are so beautiful, I failed to focus!" Naya rubbed the water on her lips and then grabbed her orange ice, she then sipped the drink until leaving only half a glass.

Train to relax the shoulders, "Still. I'm grateful to have a good physique but honestly I'm more pleased with my commenting nature and ability than face and physique."

Naya nodded in understanding, "Who are your friends? Kiran?"

"Yes. All this time I always feel uncomfortable every time the chatter of those who discuss the shortcomings or personal lives of others. Rich people, I mean your life is as good as what? It could be low people just because one or two mistakes that are not necessarily intentional," Train folding plastic ice candles that have now been depleted.

"Yes even though I know that some people who have problems or feel bad will feel better by talking about the ugliness of others. So indirectly they are rich again 'This loh there is something worse than me' than 'Gue must improve let's not bad anymore'. You get me?" Ratih glanced at Naya who was seen watching him closely.

Naya nodded in understanding, she was amazed by the way Ratih spoke which sounded very confident and classy, "I got you."

Naya averted her gaze then fed a spoonful of meatballs into her mouth, "Lo still likes Kiran right?" blatantly said.

Ratih's running, "Huh? How can you say rich?"

Naya shrugged her shoulders while smiling, "Take a second. Is it really?"

Ratih threw away his face in embarrassment, "Indeed still. But I have no intention of anything. I know Kiran is happy with everyone else now, and that's enough for me. So just a friend is more than enough anyway," said Ratih in the end.

Naya exhaled softly, "Yes anyway. But still all behind the same fate. Whatever happens in the future, I hope you can always be happy, yes" Naya patted Ratih's shoulder with a smile on her lips.

"Tumben really we talk rich gini?" Ratih laughed amusedly when he realized that this was the first time they had chatted together like this.

"Yes yes. Lagian lo all this time always mobbed ama dayang-dayang anyway. Who wants to be rich with that story!" exclaim Naya who has now spent all her food and drinks.

"Honestly, I would rather be like a blatant person than a good person in front of me. I've been aware of how they are but I'm scared of being alone. But the more I come here the more aware for what many friends but I just continue to feel lonely every time they? I feel we are not the frequency that ends up being nuts every time they are busy ngomanying people," Ratih again expressed his complaints to Naya.

Ratih may not say this clearly to others, but because he feels Naya is a good person, he now unknowingly puts his trust in expressing his feelings honestly.

"I now realize that being alone doesn't always make us lonely."
