Ruhi and Caca checked the items that will be taken to Ali's multipurpose building which has been rented for the performance of the Sky Theater's single drama tomorrow.
Yeah, tomorrow.
Tomorrow is the day that the results of all the fatigue and sweat during exercise are at stake. Ruhi and Caca are assisted by other members of the Sky theater, arranging items onto pickup cars. Do not ask who the driver is because the answer is who else if not Ruhi.
The heart of the single stage players feels pounding not because of it. They are anxious, worried, scared and groggy for tomorrow. Their hope is tomorrow night don't get raining. Eh but, if it rains anything because the multipurpose building owned by Ali, Ruhi's uncle, is a soundproof VIP class building.
All goods in the form of, 4 large boxes, one box of backdrop cloth and other black cloth, there are 2 boxes for used banner containers to sit guests, and there are 2 boxes for the, and 1 box contains a mat that is also used as a guest seat. Then there are some musical instruments such as the jimbe, maracas, guitar, keyboard, jimbe string, balera, and cymbals. Then there are several levels and traps.4 small levels, 2 long levels, 2 small traps, 2 large traps, and 2 large levels. Everything has been neatly arranged to bring to the building.
Ruhi dkk busyness is increasing. The women are busy with sum needles to hold together the fabric that after completion will be installed as a background for staging.
Suddenly, dizziness again whack Ruhi. In fact, just now he was grateful because for a week of full training, he was in good health. But this, suddenly his head was dizzy again whereas he did not bring any medicine to relieve his dizziness.
Ruhi felt a thick liquid dripping from her nose. With a trembling Ruhi touched the viscous liquid.
"Blood" he said with trembling hands.
His sight began to blur and finally...
Bruk!
"Damnah!" Scream everyone. Ruhi was then carried by one of ALB who happened to still be in the building. They took Ruhi to the clinic near the staging building.

Brak!
"Where's Ruhi!" Indra cried in panic.
"Pacify yourself Ndra. Ruhi has been treated by a doctor. Ruhi was just exhausted" said Tito trying to calm Indra.
Indra's body slid to the floor. He was relieved that the dream that became his greatest fear did not happen, for now.
"Go back... Help your friends," said Indra. Tito nodded. Despite the weight of leaving Ruhi, Tito still forced his footsteps back to help the stage setting.
All of them returned to their respective tasks including Tito. Only Indra left who accompanied Ruhi who was still lying unconscious on top of the clinic's cage.
Indra grabbed his sister's hand and kissed her long ago. The tightness was finally channeled through the tears of the handsome young man. Indra shed tears as she kissed the back of Ruhi's hand which she held dearly.
Nada felt touched when she saw Indra who looked very fragile.
People say that a man's cry is more honest than a woman's. And Nada admits it. He can also feel the sense of tightness that continues to rebel and try to encourage to be ventured.
For a moment Tada forgot his purpose of coming to the clinic. When he remembered, he immediately approached Indra.
"Mas Indra."
Immediately Indra wiped her tears and turned to look towards Nada.
"What's wrong?" Indra asked with a voice that sounded raucous.
"I was told by Danu to tell Indra. Mas Danu said, Ruhi was taken to the hospital. So that tomorrow when the staging is stable," said Nada who instead focused on Indra's eyes. Nada could see Indra's suffering when her sister was sick so deeply. He loved his sister very much. Indra loves Ruhi very much.
"OKAY. Thanks to Nad."
"Sama-sama. I'll excuse you first, yes" said Nada who immediately came out of the clinic because she could not stand the feeling she had felt since. The feeling of sadness and fear of losing an Indra to Ruhi seemed to have rubbed off on Nada.
Indra asked the clinic doctor's permission to take Ruhi to the husada partner hospital, his uncle, Ali. The doctor accepted Indra's request. Then Indra took her sister to the hospital.

Mitra Husada Hospital
The infusion fluid continued to drip, draining the connected hose on the back of Ruhi's hand. The girl lay weak and was still unconscious after a relapse this afternoon.
Rajendra sat beside the bed where Ruhi lay while looking at her beautiful daughter who looked thin and pale.
Rajendra piled both elbows on the edge of the bed and then cupped his face with both palms. He sobbed. That sturdy back is shaking. He was crying, crying so badly.
"Already brother. Leave everything to Allah SWT" Ali said, patting Rajendra on the shoulder. He knew that his brother was being hit by misfortune, his son who suffered from end-stage blood cancer. Such misfortune especially for a father like Rajendra.
"I give everything to Allah SWT. I'm resigned," said Rajendra with sorrow.
