Hi Kahi, I Still Love You
11.
"but it's all a lie" Lia guessed
Kahi just lowered his head while squeezing both of his hands on the table. Reluctant to answer questions from his sister-in-law, not just to refuse.
"all I know, you can't love Gemma yet right? You just appreciate all the good treatment from Gemma. But about everything you said earlier" Lia sighed
"it's lying to yourself, Hi. Worse yet you lied to Gemma's feelings"
Kahi raised her head facing towards Lia who was currently also looking at her. No refutation of my mouth, just staring in disbelief. Her brother-in-law's eyes can't be lied to anymore, but she's also reassuring Lia about her relationship with Gemma.
"please don't tell this to brother yes mba, I want to be serious with mas Gemma" said kahi slowly.
"it has to be a lie, Hi. Gemma must understand and want to wait for you" said Lia to calm Kahi again.
"i'm too old to be a picky person, mba. It's my fault that I was late to realize this, brother always said he would take care of me until someday brother gave up to take care of me. Until there's someone you think deserves to be my life partner"
"for that, now I'm succumbing to my feelings. I accept Gemma with all its shortcomings, and vice versa, Gemma accepts me with all my mass. So, someday if indeed he wants to continue to the marriage as he said before. I'm ready"
"it's serious, Hi. If that's what you want, I support all your decisions. I'll be there for you, so don't worry about it"
The serious conversation of the two companions had to stop when the sound of crying from Juna who was asleep on the second floor stopped all their activities. Lia rushed up the stairs to calm her son, who had been asleep since.
For Kahi, the woman who became the wife of her brother turned into a strong woman. Lia used to be a super scared girl, but after marriage slowly the fear disappeared. Even Kahi trusts Lia more than her own sister.
So no wonder Lia can find out what Kahi feels, it is easier to convince the brother than the brother-in-law who has high sensitivity.
After continuing to drink cold water from the fridge, Kahi returned to his room to lay down his body for a while before leaving for his cafe.
Before laying down his body, Kahi grabbed the phone on the nightstand to check if there was a pesen or incoming call. Today Gemma is out of town, there are family matters, he said. Just reported via message last night, so no wonder if the phone is quiet message from Gemma.
But when opening the email, his eyes were made rounded because there was an incoming email from his High School first. Fill in the email that informs that Kahi and all the members of the theater in his class are asked to fill in the Senior High School X birthday event.
Previously no one invited him officially to attend the school reunion event, let alone be a filler who is usually an active alumni. With a huff he searched for information on the SMA X website.
Sure enough, almost the entire force was invited so it was no surprise. He was also invited, especially the head of the committee was the woman who had taken his place first, Bianca.

Tonight it was raining with lightning and strong winds, so the cafe closed earlier than usual. At 10 pm all employees have gone home leaving Kahi who is still silent in his room, he hates the sound of lightning so he intends to wait for the rain to subside to go home.
To ward off loneliness, Kahi turned on the music on his phone. Enough to help him drive away the silence in a room that is only himself. Until the sound of the car tires and the sound of objects colliding hard enough to distract Kahi from the box object in his grip.
Kahi peeked out from behind the window to see what was happening on the street in front of his cafe, until someone came out of the car that looked crunchy in the front making Kahi shut his mouth in surprise.
Ignoring the feeling of hatred for the lightning, Kahi came down the stairs with half a run to reach someone who was lying in the yard of his cafe.
"sir, you're fine" asked Kahi to someone lying covered in blood on the head.
There was no word from the man, not until a few minutes heard the car roar a distinctive sound from the ambulance car. Looks like someone's been alerting the authorities, because the ambulance stopped right next to Kahi.
"here sir" cried Kahi at the ambulance service
"sir, you can hear me. If you can please move your hands or feet" the officer said, checking the man's vital signs.
Miraculously, his hand moved for a while, then the two officers moved the man to the stretcher and lifted him into the car, when accidentally Kahi who was standing near the officers got a pull from the man.
"you come along ma'am, it looks like he wants you to come" said the officer who was at the back of the stretcher.
"well sir"
Without a refusal Kahi entered the ambulance as well, when Kahi who just sat there again the sound of police car sirens arrived. It seemed like everything had been notified by someone, so they moved quickly. Kahi stared at the bloodied hand that was still holding the hand even though it did not have the strength to grip firmly.
"please speed up sir, patients can lose a lot of blood" said the officer sitting next to the kahi.
Hearing that, Kahi now turned her hand into a clutch of the man's hand. Which felt very cold than earlier, Kahi's eyes accidentally caught the face he knew from the man. But unfortunately the wound on the forehead disguised the man's face with blood.
Ambulance arrived at the nearest hospital, officers immediately took the man to the ER for treatment. While Kahi was unceasingly praying, for the man to survive. For more than 5 hours no one gave him any information about the man's condition, only the information that the man had to be operated on was all he had heard, and signed a letter of approval for the operation. He was also directed by the nurse to take care of the administration and all the needs of the patient who until now he did not know his name, very sad.
"excuse me ma'am, are you the guardian of the accident patient? "
Kahi's daydreams instantly froze as a nurse approached him and asked him.
" ah yes sus, what is the condition? "
" the patient is in the treatment room, ma'am. Now you have to go to the registration section first, ma'am. I will take you to the patient care room" explained the nurse.
"well sus"

A female doctor came out following another male doctor who looked younger.
"you're the patient's guardian? " ask an older doctor named Mira
" good mother, now the patient is in a sleeping condition the effect of his dope. All we have handled, for now the patient is also in a condition that is past his critical period. So you don't have to worry. He should still be in the HCU room, but seeing his progress we decided to move to the treatment room. Once an hour we will control the development of the patient, there is a question of the mother" explained Dr. Mira
"no doctor, thank you very much" Kahi said politely
"yes mother, equally. We'll excuse you" the doctor said, patting her arm slowly.
"yes doctor"
After the doctors left, Kahi slowly opened the door of the treatment room. Walk slowly towards the patient's bed, trying as slowly as possible so as not to disturb the person's sleep.
The sound of heart rate monitors and oxygen cylinders could be heard from the door, slowly distancing Kahi and the bed only blocked the blinds that were deliberately closed to confine patients and guests.
Kahi gently pulled the curtain over, then slowly turned his head to look at the person lying weakly on the patient bed.
Bruck
How do you feel when you see the person you know now lying weakly after struggling in life and death.
Kahi sat on the floor next to the bed, shaking his head quickly for what he saw. Covering his mouth with both hands so that the sound of his sobs is not heard by the sleeping person. Slowly he got up from his seat, then slowly he walked out of the nursing room.
After closing the door without making a sound, Kahi grabbed the end of the waiting chair and sat himself down slowly. He pulled his phone out of his pants pocket, then contacted someone.
"branch, I'm now at RS X... " Kahi immediately disconnected her phone.
Now that it was 4 am, he was grateful that his brother had a sleeping habit that would wake up just by hearing the sound of the phone ringing.
After making a short call with her brother, Kahi was still silent at her place. Several times he took a breath and held it so that his eyes did not spill the water he had been trying to hold.
Ducking deep to hide the tears that could no longer be held, squeezing the phone with both hands to channel the already unbearable emotions.
*Drrrttt Drrrttt
"where are you" Juan said across the phone*.
"VIP room no 52 5th floor"
Tuuut
This time, which ended Juan's call first, Kahi looked down again to remove the liquid that came out freely from his eyes.
The pace of someone from the direction of the elevator door that opens, able to divert the eyes of Kahi. He stood up to then scatter in the arms of the pris who had a facial resemblance to him.
Her shoulders shook violently, Kahi cried in Juan's arms. After earlier he tried to continue to be strong, in fact he would not be able to continue strong if it was in his brother's arms.
"let's sit down first, it'll be a long time old brother's badass"
"iiissh" kahi hit the chest of the older sister.
"let's sit down, story." Juan pulled Kahi slowly towards the waiting chair.
"here (clap the left chest) continued his cry"
"branch of the like, "
"let's tell you who's inside. Why do you cry gini? Here"
Juan thrusts a bottle of water that he accidentally brought from home for Kahi. Directly in the sambar by his sister.
"was quiet? Now let's tell the story " Juan said as he received a bottle of drink that was served by Kahi.
" he was in an accident in front of the cafe, and then I saw him get out of the car that had been stuck in front of him. As I came down to nolongin but the ambulance did not come for long, he was lifted into the ambulance but strangely the man also pulled my hand. So the officer asked me to come along, the nurse asked me to make it to the treatment room to see his condition, but fit in."
"him, hiks...
As Kahi cries again, Juan pulls her into a hug to calm her sister down.
