EXTRORDINARIES

53. Live Alone

I frowned because I heard Ba'a talk. "You don't believe me? How are you talking rudely like me?" My speech.

"You fool! You prefer me out of fear of losing me but you left Gavin the man you've liked for a long time. You're a fool, Ruru."

I woke up from my sleep. It was morning and it felt like the dream was real. Does he mean like that? I don't understand at all. I got out of bed and took a shower.

After school, I went looking for Gavin. I'm waiting for him in the parking lot. I have to beg Gerda to take on another friend. "Gavin's? Vin?" He nyuekin me. He took the helmet he put in the rearview mirror.

"Yin!!! Do you not listen? You said you wanted to take me to the hospital yesterday?"

"Gue is Gerda. Do you want to take me?"

"Gue deliberately did not bring a motor let you go home the same lo." I clearly.

Gerda took her helmet. "That's vin don't have to make a fuss, I can be the same Ruby anyway."

"It's true."

I got on the bike when he hadn't pulled out the bike. "Duh, no patience at all. Heavy to know."

"Wildamah! You know me, that's it, huh? Someone asked for help instead you stay that way."

"Who wants to leave? Down no? Want me to get this gas to crash?"

"It's impossible that lo nabrakin motor lo, it's hunted! I want to know my boyfriend."

"Like it's the same Ba'a, huh? You forgot about me?"

I hit his shoulder. "Udah, now is not the time to discuss feelings."

He was silent and kept trying to get his bike out. Which could eventually be without me having to go down.

When he arrived at the hospital, Gavin stopped by the hospital canteen. "Rose room number 18D."

His mouth was covered by a breathing apparatus and his head was wrapped in a thick bandage. And his neck in the buffer. I approached her and I cried. "Dear, sorry I just came." I said, I can't stop crying.

I held her hand and sat down in the chair. I kissed his hand. "wake up? Cepet wake up, I miss Ba'a. You do not accept if I have not eaten, I have not eaten today, let's wake up. Like you said I usually have studied, the physics practice exam was smooth I learned yesterday while waiting for news from you, but even those nights I get news that I really can't take."

Suddenly Gavin's maid whom I had seen came to open the door. "Loh non, why cry? It's nothing that Ba'a is strong. Udah yes, do not sit here later non even cry continues." My aunt led me to sit on the couch.

I didn't ask but Auntie told me first. "Tea aunt salut den Ba'a, she was from Junior High already dare to stay alone." Staying alone what it means.

I wiped my tears. "on your own? Mean aunt?"

"Yes his parents are abroad, they live there with his brother den Ba'a, den Ba'a does not want to come and prefer to live with Bibi. Aunty in the loving house next door den Ba'a."

"Oh, is that Aunt's house?"

"Yes non, his brother den Ba'a was his twin den Ba'a, he went to school there because of his achievements and also happened to be his parents moved overseas duties."

"Bi, when I played to his house he said he was as good as going to dinner."

"He always said it was non because he didn't want to look pathetic."

I don't believe what Aunt said, but it seems to be true. "Why aren't his parents here now?"

"Can't be non, because den Ba'a was already Aunt's adopted son. Aunty takes care of him until he grows up, it's a deal worth the house that Aunty receives."

I was really confused by Aunt's intentions. "Big bi."

"The point is that the tea den Ba'a is now the son of Bibi, while the Ba'a den is the responsibility of Bibi. Aunty already got money every month for the cost of living den Ba'a, this was even more so that all Auntie's family already got rations."

Why is Ba'a so pathetic like this. I was sad to hear that story, surely Ba'a had missed her birth mother let alone her siblings. They rarely meet and are separated from each other.[]
