Hope Like an Angel

What's up?

A few hours have passed. A few days have passed since that incident. I could go home, but the same thing didn't happen to Judah. He was still lying perfectly on the medical mattress of the headquarters. Along with other wounded soldiers.

Every day, I visit him. Even Raphael was also consistently following me at all times. Jennifer's gone, we don't want to lose any more friends.

We also told Jennifer about this on groupchat, just as surprised and worried. Unfortunately he had not been able to come to see because he had a special mission to look for omni in all parts of the Northern Region. Hunting is busy there because it tends to have highlands.

"Puh, Azriel is..." Raphael was next to me. We both visited him for the fourth time. I looked at her worriedly, holding onto Yuda's unconscious arm. "Hold on." Whispering in the heart.

"I've always hated people like that, Fal. Given the opportunity but instead pitched beat up a good person. It's not adult." He took a chair, sat there. I have always been unable to see the bandaged feet and body of Judah.

"You... ever had a sister, Raf?" I picked up the topic of conversation.

"No. I'm an only child." The answer was short, still in disarray with Azriel who was now out of nowhere.

The clock on the wall shows at 14:35, it's been half an hour since we got in here. Leo is also present every day, but busy. So he comes only at night.

"Other times, just tell me right away that if you meet Azriel, I will definitely defeat her. No, I'll make sure he can't walk anymore." Raphael knocked on his own thigh. Then exhale a heavy breath.

"No need." Suddenly, a third voice came shocking the ears. It was clearly his voice!

"Juda!" I exclaimed in shock, as well as being happy that he was awake. His eyes were half-closed, his mouth was silent no longer open. He stared at the ceiling of the room, his eyes glazed over.

"I've been a burden many times to you. I'm not gonna let that happen again. Falisha, Raphael, forget this guy. You're more entitled not to interfere with-"

"Go? Oh, haha, hahaha. Too bad, Yuda. I'm always kidding, but it's too late. I will never go in this matter. Accept it or not, you have to agree to the fact that Azriel's been bad at acting." Raphael cut out Yuda's word, scuttering as he sat down. Face angry.

"But, Raphael, it's all because of me. I acted like a kid back then. I don't accept being weak, when that's what I am, actually, weak. Had I been more patient, not against Big Brother, this would not have happened." He's deflecting his face. Now perfectly glared towards Raphael.

"Fals. Sorry for the bruises and wounds all over your body. Why are you following me to the Garden of Happiness? He said there's a mission?" Yudah asked.

"That's not important. I am your friend, there is no need to apologize for my injuries. It's good to be together, it's hard to be together, it's supposed to happen." I answered anxiously, still holding his unbanded arm.

...

Silent. There was the sound of the footsteps of doctors who were pacing to and fro. The light green curtain behind me sometimes rippled against the bodies of others.

"You have helped us in many ways, Judah. Now, let us do the same, please." I looked at him seriously, saying softly and subtly. I wholeheartedly say those words.

He looked at us both. I know, he's a good guy, very good. Worrying about us in a situation that makes no difference to him. But Yuda chose to fight it all alone, not good. I've been in his position, very bad...

"Eh?" I said, confused. There were footsteps approaching from the entrance. From the frequency of his voice, there were at least two people coming.

"Azriel?" Raphael put up a position ready to fight. No sword, no sword in this room.

Sreth! The curtain showed the hand of someone who was about to pull it.

WOOSH! Raphael unleashed a punch-

The tep!

...

Raphael's fist was held perfectly by a woman after she opened her curtain. Not just any woman, it's Commander Kiara. Behind him was Leo who was carrying some medicine. His face was still worried.

Silent for a moment, Raphael let go of his hand. He looked down embarrassed thinking it was Azriel.

"Raphela."

"Raphael? Oh? Is he that one?" He pointed Raphael towards Leo, then Leo nodded in agreement. Yeah, that's them. Falisha and Raphael.

"Ah. You look younger than I thought." Commander Kiara smiled. Then, he saw Yuda was concerned.

"How's your wound?" Leo approached, putting two tubes of medicine on the table next to the bed.

"I'm healed. This bandage will be removed soon-"

"lik! She lies. I asked the doctor, he said it would take at least two days for Yuda to make a full recovery." Raphael cut, pointing at his wound.

The two Commanders stared at each other. I can't read his expression, it's great that they hide their emotions at a time like this.

"Why are you lying?" Leo asked again.

...

Judah would not answer, he turned his face away.

Everyone felt sorry for him. I slowly moved back, approaching Raphael. Judah needs time to be alone, we better not bother him.

"All right, it's okay. Actually I just want to give you those drugs. They drink twice a day, yes. And the real business is with Commander Kiara. So Fal, Raf, let's get out of this room." Leo nodded while explaining. We were both shocked.

"Eh? Why?" I asked.

He shrugged his shoulders. Then holding onto my shoulder and Raphael, the three of us went a little pushed by him, past the curtain, out of this room. Heading to the main hallway of the headquarters.

The gathered troops and soldiers made a noise, filled with words and footsteps. Some of them trained swords here, it was fortunate that it was broad. Since the hunt, the headquarters started to get busy again. Unlike a few days ago when we had dinner with Leo, there was no one.

"Leo, why do we have to go?" Raphael was worried, tidying up the collar of his uniform.

"I don't know. After I took the medicine from the doctor, Commander Kiara was suddenly in front of my office. He said he wanted to meet with Yuda, I'll take him to the medical room and give him the medicine."

...

Raphael and I wore the same expression, brutally anxious.

"Hey. Ever since Jennifer left, you two have rarely spoken. Come on, where's the enterprising Falisha and the cute Raphael? You guys are gone? Halleoo?" Leo knocked on my head and Raphael. I laughed a little, letting him do that.

"I don't want to lose another friend, Leo. We were both at first, but there was Yuda and Jennifer it was much better. Jennifer's gone, I won't let Judah get hurt or maimed because of her sister so we have to leave someone again." I said subtly while bowing my head. Raphael lamat-goal nodded, agreeing.

Leo exhaled, smiling sweetly, thinly. Take something out of his pocket.

"Here, it might help." He gave us... candy? Yes, candy. Three each.

"I took care of you from childhood. You were cute and cute at the time. But seeing you grow up and be independent, it's an absolute pride for me. If you want to tell a story, go ahead. I'm in the office." Leo brushed both of our hair, then walked away, passed some troops, greeted him, laughed for a while. And finally, he opened the office door, went inside.

"Leo..." I said finely, eating the candy he gave me. Sweet and cold, soothing lumanyan.

Raphael next to me was worriedly staring at the door of Yuda's room. Waiting for him to come out.

"About...what did Commander Kiara talk to him about, huh?"
