CORONAS

9. WHISPER YUVA

 

Yuva helps calm down. An echoing voice from one of the service officers gave an announcement of his apology to the customer. He will make every effort to ask for clarity and further handling of the centre. Once new news is obtained, each of the customers will be notified immediately by phone or other communication media. Kaldier's efforts are not free. Slowly the panic that occurred in this caldier service building subsided. Also, the protesters seem to have been too tired to constantly chant his protests.

The kaldier treatment center is calm. The protesters left this place one by one. I see most of them have Life Point which is not too much different from Yuva. It was indeed very concerning especially when viewed from their stature, their age was still relatively young.

“You till when? I don't have much time left to wait?” said Aunt Viola still with her gentleness.

Of all the protesters, it was Aunt Violol who was the least valued. The fifteen days left to live it was certainly a very bad dream. He's gonna get freaked out. His mentality will be broken. The fear of death can encourage him to do desperate things. Or the smallest impact is to go crazy. Going crazy when facing death. The cells in my brain don't even want to imagine it.

Yuva signaled to me and Arfi to stay away. We according. In Yuva's arms, Aunt Viola buried her face. His sobs were still slightly heard. Piteously. But even though it is difficult and unfair, those of us who have been given the opportunity to live a normal life without having to lie in the hospital have no right to demand more. If it fails in improving Life Point, it only needs to fight even harder. If it fails, I guess ....

Then my mind evaporated when I realized the sound of Aunt Viola's stuffing that had disappeared. At first glance I saw Yuva whispering a few words until he finally fell silent. And his face was raised while looking at Yuva's face.

The two of them got up, stood up, and Aunt Viola already looked calmer even though her forehead was wrinkled like thinking of something. I was quite curious about the powerful spell that Yuva cast on the three-bred Aunt.

My memory darted rapidly towards my conversation with Yuva while on campus earlier. I think this has something to do with the experiment he said earlier. If that was the case, Yuva must have had a different way to scoop up more Life Points in a not so difficult way. For some reason, that worry again slipped back into the heart. Maybe it's just my feeling that Yuva is doing a dangerous test. Or try other unusual things. That one seems to bother me.

Not to mention, that secret word he said. I know that even as the person closest to him doesn't have to know everything about him. But if anyone else was told by him about the secret – while I was not – I was like no longer a considered important part of his life. I feel set aside. A kind of invisible bulkhead was built to create distance between us. It was like a lump of\-clumps of foreign matter being forcefully inserted into the chest nonstop.

I nodded in agreement. But I didn't move right away. “If you may know, the reason for keeping that from me what?” This sentence just came out. I am still very curious about this secret.

Yuva replied to my question with a small laugh. “Why? Curious?” one of his hands mischievously pinched the side of my stomach.

“Ah, so. But if you mind saying it, I won't-.”

“This is something I still don't want to talk to you about,” he replied quickly by cutting my words. “I don't want to burden you by thinking about it. This is my problem. I feel bad if I have to always burden you with the anxiety I have.”

You don't have to feel that way, Yuva. I am your lover.”

“It is precisely because of that. I don't want to keep bothering you and making you think about my problems. Occasionally allow me to reduce the load on your shoulders.”

I took a breath for a moment. “But in this way, I become like useless to you,”.

“I still want to live, Eldan. I want to live for you. So there's no way you're useless to me,” replied in a very soft tone of voice. “Come quickly, we return to campus.”
