Iko Trail

31. deserted

 

Iko hasn't been to school for a few days. Albi and Ajib are worried about whether their friendship is incomplete if Iko does not exist.

 

"gue bosen. temenan sama doang garing vow!"

Albi and Ajib were sitting in the cafeteria, and although the atmosphere was very crowded, they were still bored.

"who do you tell me?"

Ajib leaned his body against the wall. They happened to be sitting in the corner of the canteen.

"uh. Iko when the hell is she here?"

"i'm also surprised. yesterday aunt said Iko just not feeling well, but why I don't believe well."

Ajib seemed to think.

"what if we come to Iko's house."

Ajib back up his spirit.he nodded his head in approval to Albi's proposal. Moreover, Ajib does not know where Iko's house is.

"ok. after school we go straight there."

after hours of study, they immediately went to Iko's house.

tock tock...

Albi knocked on Iko's door slowly, with no answer.

"rich man no man yah."

Ajib nodded his head.

"try it again."

it was Ajib's turn to knock on the door.

"Iko.."

still no answer. ahirnya they were desperate and about to leave. however, when about to leave the house Iko, Intan came.

"you two are here?"

Albi and Ajib were surprised to see the arrival of Intan, but they also felt relieved because their arrival was not in vain.

"eh, aunt.we're here to see Iko aunt.."

The silent Ajib just nodded his head while smiling.

Intan was just silent.he looked very tired.Even his eyes seemed to have just finished crying.

"auntie why?"

out of curiosity, Albi asked Intan. Ajib soon realized that.

"Iko is not home. Iko is now in hospital again."

Intan returned to shed her tears. Albi and Ajib became confused, they were surprised by what Intan said just now.

"Iko in the hospital? is Iko sick, aunt?"

Albi nudged Ajib's waist, he told Ajib to shut up because Intan was crying. Albi invited Intan to sit down first.

"aunty can tell us slowly."

Intan rubbed his tears.he took a breath to feel relieved.

"from yesterday Iko was unconscious. because aunt hasawatir, aunty take Iko to the hospital. aunty just don't want if Iko is like her papa before."

Albi and Ajib were silent.they could also feel what Intan was feeling.it must have been heavy because his only child was unconscious in the hospital.

"iko's father was also unconscious like Iko now. the doctor said this is a strange disease.there is no damage to his body.but unconscious like a corpse. ahirnya, the doctor said, Iko's father is presumed dead after a month of not waking up."

Albi and Ajib did not know that Intan had been suffering so much. they cried to hear Intan's story.

"we can see Iko auntie?"

Intan nodded his head.

"then, auntie, why come home?"

"tante wants to take Iko's shirt."

"if so, we'll help Dad!"

Intan nodded. she smiled because Iko still had a friend who cared so much about her.

"thank you, yeah.."

Albi and Ajib nodded their heads. They immediately went inside the house and cleaned Iko's clothes. When they finished, they went with Intan to the hospital.

"Iw..."

Albi immediately hugged the body of Iko who was lying weakly on the bed, while Ajib just remained silent while shedding his tears.

"Ko, wake up dong.. This is me. you forget well me. you don't miss what?..."

seriate...
