Arindi Sick



Arindi closed her locker slowly after putting in some of her college books. He just finished his third course this afternoon. He felt a great pain in his shoulder. His face was pale withstanding pain. Cold sweat drenched his forehead.


Arindi lowered her head. One or two people rebuked and worried about him because his face was starting to glow. He answered only weakly at their reprimands.


Arindi wants to go home soon, it feels like her body is not strong anymore. The road starts to go. He pressed the call button on Tristan's number with great difficulty.


"Yes Rin? How did you finish college...."


Tristan's voice sounded worried as he picked up the phone from Arindi. He was just about to ask but Arindi cut off Trista's speech and her voice sounded weak.


"Where are you? Arin wants to go home now, Arin's not strong anymore...."


"Wait there! Brother pick it up now," Tristan replied quickly ending his phone.


Tristan is still in the campus, he has just finished taking care of the needs for the handover and the completeness of the file for his graduation.


Hearing Arindi's weak voice, she rushed towards her car and then spurred it on. He never heard the girl's voice like that. He's so panicked.


Arindi walks with a shunt out of her department building. The pain in his shoulder became more and more, throbbing until his head was in pain. "Gue why? Very sick, "inner Arindi felt astonished by the state of his own body.


Arindi forgot the incident when Anggi pushed her body earlier. The clash on his shoulder that he had neglected turned out to be slowly deteriorating. Arindi didn't realize her shoulder was bruised. And now the bruises are dark purple.


Tristan's car soon arrives, Tristan rushes down from the car after seeing the girl who is walking on a sagging path while bowed. Tristan approached. He saw Arindi's forehead full of sweat on this cold day. He also holds his forehead. Want to make sure of something. His body temperature was hot but his sweat was extremely cold


"You why? You have a fever!" tristan started to panic.


"He uh.. Anterin Arin came home, brother," Arindi replied weakly.


Tristan rushed to get her into the car. He put the belt on the girl's body. Arindi leaned back and held her body which was very painful.


"We go to the doctor first" Tristan said as he touched the girl's shoulder, forgetting that it had been a bump.


"Awwwhhh, sick...." Arindi grimaced in pain.


Tristan was surprised to see he was in pain when his shoulder was touched. "Why? Was it possible because of being hit earlier? Let's go see a doctor first."


"Ga wants to, Arin wants to go home. Arin wants a break." The only thing Arindi was thinking about right now was going home and sleeping. Arindi's body was weakened not only because of the bruise on her shoulder, but also because of the piercing pain in her heart that she had endured since.


Tristan just gave up, he did not want to make the girl more in pain. The important thing now is to bring it home. Tristan hastily drives his car, heading for Arindi's apartment.


...----------------...


They also arrived. After getting out of the car, Tristan quickly grabbed Arindi and climbed to the top. Tristan attached the access card and the door opened.


"Kesana kak," said Arindi when they reached the floor where Arindi's apartment was located.


Arindi pointed at her bedroom. Tristan who had just entered Arindi's apartment looked confused. Moreover, it is the place where girls live, he becomes stiff and stutters himself.


Tristan panicked himself, he didn't know what to do. Pacing back and forth beside the girl's bed, Arindi lapsed weakly above her. He pulled out his phone and called Nadine.


After a long call, the phone finally connected.


"Hello Nad" said Tristan to Nadine at the other end of the phone.


"Eh Tristan? Yes hello... Why Tan?"


"Gue is now in Arindi's apartment, she's sick, I have to what, and I don't know who to call. Can you come here?" tristan's voice was panicking.


"Arindi's sick?" Nadine, who never saw Arindi down, immediately agreed, Tristan said. " OK ok I'm there now I happen to be here."


Currently Nadine and Rasya happened to be not far from the surrounding apartment. Hearing the news that Arindi is sick makes them rush to the apartment.


...----------------...


The bell of Arindi's apartment sounded. Tristan who was sitting in the middle room could only sit there because he did not know what to do. Hearing the bell just now made him rush towards the door.


Before long the door opened. Nadine and Rasya rushed in with great anxiety.


"Nad load call Aunt Acha, I want to check the situation Arindi first," said Rasya gave the order.


Tristan sat back on the sofa. He lowered his head while continuing to press him. His hands were sweating coldly, a feeling of worry and fear permeated his entire body. Besides, Nadine's calling someone.


"Tan ..." admonished Nadine a little harshly.


"Huh? Yea?" Tristan who did not realize that Nadine had finished calling was surprised when he was rebuked loudly.


"Lo gapapa? By the way, why did he do that?" ask Nadine later.


Tristan also recounted the incident at the BEM secretariat when they met Anggi.


"Crazy yeah!! you why so many fans anyway?" Nadine glanced at Tristan who was still weakly lowered. "But you don't have to worry, not to mention Aunt Acha dateng, she's a doctor who lives on the third floor. Fortunately, he is home now. Wait here, I'm going to the room. Lo open the door if he has come," explained Nadine later.


Acha, or often called Acha aunt is a doctor who happens to live in the same apartment as them. He worked in a hospital not too far from the apartment complex.


To the hospital that is usually Arindi, Nadine, or Rasya doing medical check up and Acha is the doctor who serves them. So they've known each other for a long time. That's why Acha said that they could contact her at any time in case of an emergency. Like at the moment.


"Oh yes Nad. Btw thank you and sorry I...."


"Why? gapapa is." Nadine cut off Tristan's words. He knew Tristan was worried and guilty. All the events that have befallen Arindi to date relate to her. "That's a cake incident we can't expect. You don't need to feel guilty, I should be the one who thanks you. I don't know what happened if you didn't pick him up. Yes, I went in first."


Tristan only nodded weakly while Nadine walked towards Arindi's room. Tristan is not only worried that he is feeling very guilty right now. All those stifling feelings stacked together into one stirred his mind and heart.


"Why do I always make him hurt?" inner Tristan.
