Decuruh Tak Dewuh
LTE | TWENTY EIGHT
Bugh!
Bagas fell unconscious then several young men in uniform dragged Bagas' body into the warehouse located next to the Scouts camp and a little secluded from the main campus.
Bagas was tied to a wooden chair with a face covered in black cloth.
Five minutes later, a small movement from Bagas indicated he had regained consciousness from his stupor. Roughly one pulled the cloth covering Bagas' face until it slightly pulled Bagas' hair. Bagas just squealed in his pain.
The first time Bagas saw was a dusty narrow room with dim lights that maybe the bulb would soon break. It's like an interrogation room.
"Indra?"
Indra approached Bagas with a knife in his right hand. Indra pressed the back of his knife against Bagas' neck.
"Bring," hissed Indra right in front of Bagas.
"W-what do you want? D-and what's my fault?" Tanya Bagas emboldened herself.
Indra opened up and then a moment later the water turned creepy.
"You ask what's your fault?"
Indra pressed the back of his knife against Bagas' neck and further strangled Bagas' neck. A second later Indra threw his knife in any direction. The knife was very sharp even able to stick perfectly on the wall.
Indra's free right hand, immediately gripped Bagas' jaw.
"Your fault is only one. You dare play games with the Khan family."
Bagas looked at Indra.
"Still not understanding?" Indra said while holding his hand asking Reno to give up his favorite whip.
The plas!
Bagas screeched, "Indra!"
"You dare hurt my sister Ruhi! Who do you think you are? You're just an ignorant human being at a profit who was coincidentally loved by my sister."
The plas!
"You approached Ruhi again because of Danu's request, right?"
Bagas.
"Lied!"
The plas!
"M-indeed Danu asked me to find out about Ruhi. Since I don't know in what way, I ended up choosing a way to approach Ruhi again through your brother Rendi."
"Batch you Bagas!"
Indra whipped Bagas several times on the back. Indra went crazy and finally Reno et al intervened to hold back Indra's anger before Bagas actually died at Indra's hands.
"Take me off!"
Indra released himself and approached Bagas, who groaned in pain.
"Sooner or later I'll kill you. Remember that bastard!" Fizz Indra.
Indra turned his body, "Urus him," he told Reno and his other subordinates. Reno and the others nodded. Indra immediately left the dirty warehouse with a horrible face.

A week later.
Cafe route 34, Surabaya.
Pras, Dika, Rhea, Arina, Bagas, Danu, Saza, Nada, Caca and Riko are gathering at their cafe when they finish rehearsing the theater for coffee and chatting.
The ten people fell silent while occasionally looking at each other. In that silence, Rhea suddenly made a sound.
"Mas Danu," call Rhea.
Danu turned to look at Rhea, "Why?" Ask.
"Single stage is only two weeks away. But Ruhi, as the main character, during this one week she never came to practice even last Sunday she did not participate in making property and maturing music."
"Live to the point" Danu said.
"What if Ruhi's role is replaced? Rather than waiting for Ruhi who was just messing around," said Rhea.
"What does Rhea mean by saying that?" Grievance Caca. Rhea looked at Caca with a dislike look.
"Yes mbak. Ma'am Rhea doesn't like it if Ruhi is the main character?" Tanya Saza was full of probes.
"Yes it's not like that. I just want the best for the Sky Theater."
"Best for the Sky theater or for yourself?"
"Why do you always corner me? What's your problem exactly?"
"Who cornered you? I'm not the one with you here. But you're the one who's in trouble with yourself. You've wanted Ruhi to be replaced several times. Wh why? What was? You think that if you could replace Ruhi, you would be able to match her? Huh yeah?" Bagas was upset with Rhea.
"OK, if you don't agree that Ruhi's replaced."
"What the hell is mbak? Rhea doesn't like Ruhi?"
"That's not it. But, there's something I want to ask. Why is Ruhi not attending the rehearsal? One day or two can still be. This lha? One full week he was absent. Another reason? Sick? Or still typhus? Or how about hah?" Rhea started nyolot.
"A-"
"What Rhea said is true. You as Ruhi's closest friend, you must know where Ruhi is right now," said Danu who from earlier listened to the quarrel of her protege.
Caca, Nada and Riko looked at each other then both fell silent.
"Well! His best friend doesn't know where he is. How's mas?" Rhea's face right now really looked very irritating. He now felt above the clouds because Danu slightly defended him.
Danu seems to think.
"R-ruhi's sick, '" said Caca hesitantly.
Danu and the others stared at Caca except for Riko and Nada who looked nervous as well. They are waiting for the continuation of Caca's speech.
"What pain does it hurt?"
"You want a reason to get sick again?" Sumpul Rhea.
"He's sick"
"Lha yes! What pain?" Snap Rhea.
"Leukemia!" Caca also shouted.
The deg!
The atmosphere of the cafe became silent. Other customers also heard the quarrel that occurred at table number 5.
"You must be lying, right, Ca?" Tanya Bagas could not believe it.
"Why am I lying?"
"Ruhi was diagnosed with this late-stage blood cancer 8 months ago."
"So lately Ruhi is often in and out of the hospital because of-"
"Yes! And Bagas is constantly hurting Ruhi! Earlier I apologized to Danu," said Caca slightly soften the tone.
Danu stared intensely at Caca, "What's the matter?"
"Is it true that Danu asked Bagas to approach Ruhi again just to find out about Ruhi?"
Danu furrowed her brows then looked at Bagas fiercely. A flash of anger was clearly on Danu's face.
"I never asked Bagas to do that. I just asked Bagas to find out about Ruhi in his own way but that doesn't mean that way. You're still dating Maura anyway, aren't you Gas?"
"Anu mas."
"I thought so." Caca stood up, "I'm sorry to go home, '" she said as she shook Danu's hand.
"We also say yes."
Nada and Riko were both saying goodbye then immediately left the cafe.

"One... Two...."
Ali attached a heart-shock to Ruhi's chest where the pretty girl's heart lay.
No response yet.
Ali put the heart shock device back into Ruhi's chest. In the third experiment, Ruhi's heart beat again.
Ali's body fell to the floor after securing his shock device. He could still feel his heart beating despite the rhythm of his heartbeat like after running a kilometer.
At least his nephew is alive.
Ali comes out of Ruhi's ward to approach Rajendra and his two other nephews.
"How about?" Ask Rendi who is still complete with her striped uniform.
"Alhamdulillah Ruhi is stable. Just waiting for Ruhi to be around."
"Thank God" muttered Indra and Rajendra together.
"Can I see him?" Ask Rajendra.
"Why not?"
