Lara's Admirers

Episode 51

Arka and Clara rushed to the UKS before the streets became crowded and crowded. It was clearly Arka's face that looked so worried. Clara trailed the man from behind, unable to align her steps with Arka. His tall body proposition also affected the length of his ankle. He stepped very wide.

"Kok in the key anyway?" Ask Arka to herself.

Arka tried to open the door of the room. He continued to insist that the door be opened immediately, but still in vain.

"What are you doing?" Ask Clara who just got there.

"I think the door's in the lock...."

"Seriously lo?!"

Now replace Clara who tried to open the door. But still the result is nil.

"If UKS is in the lock, then where is Eresha now?" Ask Clara.

While Arka himself was also confused at that time. They are both more precisely. But as per Titan's lead, he said Eresha went in here. In fact, no one was in there. The door was in the lock from the outside, so it was impossible if there was someone inside.

"Try me to call Titan first." Arka then took the phone from her pocket.

"Wooy!" Shouting Arka.

"Buckoo! Why lo?!" Answer the voice from across there.

"Lo said you saw Eresha in the UKS."

"Ha, will you continue?"

"Eresha does not exist ****! UKS is also in the lock. You sure you saw him?"

"I swear to you, I saw him go over there with my own eyes."

Tut...

Arka turned off her phone connection, she immediately closed the call. This guy is pissed, he doesn't know what else to do now. They had no idea how the girl was doing right now. He shouldn't have let Eresha just walk away.

"Did he drop out of school?" Mumam Arka slowly.

But the sentence so quickly spread through the air that it reached Clara's ears

"What?!" The girl was half-crossed.

"No..." Elak Arka's.

"Get back to class!" Bring the guy.

Clara nodded slowly saying her words. While Arka herself was still confused herself thinking about it. Eresha can't do that, he's not a delinquent. The girl is not the type of bad boy who likes to look for problems and hobbies with her name dealing with counseling teachers.

"So sure you're worried about him..." Clara in the Heart.

Although the status of the two of them is no longer a girlfriend, Clara still can not rise from the wound. He kept caring about the man, worrying about him every night. Just like Arka was worrying about Eresha at the moment.

If he could make a sound right now and say all his misfortune all along, perhaps Arka would be surprised to hear his confession. The truth of the real story, which he never revealed before. Something that will probably clear up any misunderstandings in the past. The past has kept them apart.

"Gue hesitated about this... Do I have to tell you about this same thing? Eh but I don't think it's necessary, you won't believe it either." Inner Clara in the heart.

Secretly the recesses of his heart slashed, bruised blue. His heart was filled with fog that made his chest so tight. Clara clasped her hands tightly. He tried to restrain himself from shedding tears in front of this man. Arka will probably think this is strange, a kind of bipolar disease suffered by multiple personality owners.

If only Arka knew that all this time he was always trying to hold himself back. He always stalked Arka from a distance. From an angle that the man could not reach. From a place that Arka may never realize.

But he realized, now is not the time to hope that the good times come back to him. Because it's useless, no matter how hard he tries still won't work. When the action given does not match the reaction, that is when Newton's first law applies. Just like Clara's situation.

Sendy just finished college. He immediately headed to the campus library to look for some reference books that he would use to do his job. All students majoring in architecture get the task to design a hotel building. This task is included in the building construction structure course. He immediately carried his picture tube. He really needs a lot of inspiration and references to complete his task this time.

As usual, the atmosphere in the library was always quiet and so calm. This room is made as comfortable as possible, according to the needs of the readers. Sendy started looking for the books he needed on the first shelf.

Shortly after he finished he went out with some books he had borrowed from the library. All of a sudden, the strap on the drawing tube sagged from the man's shoulder. Until it makes the precious object fall and into the sewer.

"ah! Shit!" Sendy is upset.

He immediately picked up the thing from inside the sewer. Hope the water from this dirty puddle has not had time to enter it. It can run out if the drawing paper becomes dirty, what else until it is damaged. Inside there were several drawing papers that he rolled into one. It was the design of several half-finished European-style buildings. He got that inspiration when he went to Holland yesterday, and only had time to pour all the ideas in his mind into this paper now.

Sendy immediately hurriedly cleaned his picture tube that was covered in mud. Not to forget, he also checked the most important part.

His body went limp for a moment, he didn't know what to say. All his enthusiasm to continue this plan immediately collapsed. Paper that was white with streaks of lines drawn regularly and calculation, now turns dark brown. Like an obsolete paper that is commonly found in ancient letter paper or paper in old books.

Now his hard work all this time ended up in vain in this fucking got. A plan that could produce rupiah coffers for him, now becomes meaningless at all.

With a heavy heart he rolled back the papers and then put them in the picture tube. He did not know what to do with this plan. It may not be saved at all.

"Aish..."

The man grimaced in pain when suddenly his index finger was accidentally injured by being scratched by drawing paper. Though the edge of the paper was wet and not stiff anymore, but why could hurt him.

Without a second thought the man rushed home to his room. His hands need to be treated immediately. The wound must be cleaned immediately, otherwise it will likely be infected with germs. The paper was dirty because of the water.

"Something strange about my feelings. Why would you?" Suckle in the heart.

"Ah may be laughing because of the emotion of the times." Further.

Though the wound includes a small wound, but why it feels so painful. He continued to blow his wounds that were getting stiffer.

The girl has not yet returned to class. It's six o'clock by now. He has been mysteriously missing since this morning. Run as if it had been planned carefully, so it did not leave the slightest trace that could be made as a clue.

Again the same question still continues to appear in the Ark.

"Where'd he go?"

Today's class has finished, it's now time for them to go back and go home to each other's homes. Not with those five kids. Clara, Stefani, Arka, Titan and not to forget Adit. They were still there, but the others had gone home. The atmosphere of the classroom was completely deserted, as well as this building. The day slowly began to darken.

"Udah wants your night, we're gonna find out where else." Said Titan while patting his best friend's shoulder.

While the figure that was spoken to was just glued to the spot, staring fixedly at Eresha's belongings that were still scattered on the table.

"Maybe he's back at his house, can you?" Stefani Timpal.

This time Stefani's heart slowly softened. He could not argue with Arka anymore. Stefani was sad to see her best friend like that. Although sometimes he sucks and likes to look noisily with him, but Stefani is still an ordinary human who must have a sense of pity.

"Mending us home, let me take Eresha's stuff." Stefani.

Arka nodded slowly saying her words. This time he went with them, and Arka gave everything to his companions. Because he knew if his brain was too tangled to be forced to think clearly.

The five men rushed home from the school. This place was even more terrifying than imagined. No less scary with the atmosphere in the morning that is still quiet. Finally they split up after arriving at the gate.

Arka must take Stefani to Eresha's house. He has to make sure that all his assumptions are right and hopefully he is okay.

***

Stefani opened the gate while carrying Eresha's bag in one of her hands. But somehow the towering iron fence can not be opened at all. Until he finally realized one thing, if the door was in the lock from the outside. That means there's no one in this house.

"The door's in the key ka, the guy's leaving again." Stefani.

"Where are we going, where are we trying to go..." Reply Arka while scratching his head that does not itch.

"Well, how do I know!"

Once again the annoying nature of Stefani began to appear, Arka tried to refrain from being provoked

"Eh, but her grandmother's sister Eresha had left two days ago they went back to Pematangsiantar for a while, there is family business he said." Stefani.

"Keep Eresha living alone here?"

"Yes, it's not! She's just like her aunt, same me."

"Did you stay at Eresha's house?"

"Kepo really lo be a guy. I just got in yesterday too."

"Usually the aunt never leaves the house at night."

Stefani nodded in agreement, this time agreeing with Arka.

"Judah I'll go home first." Said Arka then immediately turn on the motorbike engine.

"Eh, wait a minute!" Prevent Stefani.

"What else! I'm tired of going home."

Arka snorted annoyedly in response to the girl's words just now. He took a deep breath, trying to increase his patience level. If Stefani wasn't a woman, she might have finished him off.

"They usually put a key under that pot." Said Arka while pointing at one of the pots located there.

Stefani's eyes follow Arka's index finger. Then he checked it immediately. That's right what Arka said there's a house key down here. It seems like Arka knows a lot with this family. He must have had a close relationship with his best friend's family.

"I can't possibly play in. Moreover, they are no longer at home, which I think is the same at the complex citizens."

"Rather than waiting alone here, choose which one to try?" Reply Ark.

"I can't stay here for long, I want to go straight home."

But still Stefani feels bad if you have to play nyelonong enter. Moreover, he just hitchhiked in this house. Very disrespectful to him.

Stefani seemed to think for a moment.

"What if you take me to work." Stefani.

"Where is your workplace?"

"The usual cafe is.... The road is the same way as your house."

Stefani tried to get this man stuck in the situation he made, so inevitably he had to obey the will of this girl.

"Judah!" Reply Arka while clucking.

Actually Arka did all this because of Eresha. Remember if the cafe is one of the places most often visited Eresha. Including when his heart situation is not as good as it is today. Who knows, he could meet Eresha there.

Arka then turned on her motorcycle, then rushed away from the place. Although not infrequently in his heart he continued to curse Stefani with dozens of oaths that he had. Arka was upset because today she felt like she was being enslaved by this girl. But this time he had to make peace with himself. Eresha's safety is far more important than her own selfishness.

Arriving there, Arka's view immediately penetrated into the room through the glass walls in the place. In working days like this, this one cafe is quite quiet. But don't try to come to this place on weekends. A little late, then there is no seat left.

"Tanyain the same friends at cafe dong, Eresha had stopped by here." Arka's Order.

Stefani nodded quickly to agree with Arka's words. Here's a nice reply for a free ride. He immediately entered the cafe where he worked, then approached the cashier table. He was seen chatting for a while with some people there, then went back out again to meet Arka.

"They said Eresha wasn't here all this time." Stefani said what it is.

"Did they know Eresha?"

"Well, Eresha has performed here. Eresha's a loyal customer of this cafe."

"Jude, thanks for the info. I'll go back, bye!"

"OK, you're welcome."

The events of Eresha's disappearance today seem to be a puzzle that forces them to think hard. It's even harder than the Olympics Arka has ever solved.

Everyone is confused, everyone is lost, everyone is worried. Eresha managed to play the feelings of those closest to her that day. Disappear in the earth. Maybe he just wants to isolate himself for a moment from the hustle and bustle of the universe. He needed to calm his soul for a moment in a place that no one but himself could reach.

(P.O.V Eresha)

I opened my eyes slowly, and found myself in this place again. With an infusion needle attached to the back of my hand. Where else if not in a hospital ward. How many times I have to visit here. But wait, who brought me here. And what happened to me to the point that I was brought to this place.

"ah! The smell of drugs here is so stinging!" I muttered slowly.

I spread my eyes all over the room. But there's no one here. I just want to go home, it feels like.

"Hello! Is there anyone?" Excited from inside the room.

I hope someone listens to it and is willing to accompany me here. I think this place is a lot more creepy than the haunted house that claims to be haunted.

Suddenly someone tried to open the door of this room and enter it. I was wrong, they were two. Thank goodness someone finally listened to my voice.

"Airin?" Many confusion.

"Sorry we left you here alone. I had to talk to the doctor in front." Alhin.

A male doctor next to him also nodded in agreement with Alhin's words just now.

"No problem." Short reply.

"Why can I be here?" My next.

Even though I had tried hard to remember all the events before I fainted, it was still that the memories were reluctant to return to my brain. Why am I so hard to work with at times like this.

"So you suddenly fainted while driving you back to class. So I decided to bring you here. Your condition is too serious to handle in the UKS." Evidently.

Ah, I guessed it. It must be Alhin who brought me here. But why did I suddenly faint like that.

"Let the doctor explain your condition further." Further.

I immediately turned my eyes to the man in white with the stethoscope on his neck. He stood right beside the Alhin. I was waiting for an answer from him.

"Do you have a history of diseases that hit the head before?" Ask the doctor.

I nodded my head quickly as I said, "Yes, if it's not meningitis."

"Good, that's in line with what we thought before. I've been suspicious if you have this disease." The reply.

"So, you better calm yourself down for a while, including your mind." Reciprocity.

"Yes right, you look so depressed." Tymphal Alhin.

They're right, somehow lately my feelings are often out of control. Up and down as he pleased, without me knowing the exact cause.

"Symptoms that you experience, in the form of nosebleeds or dizziness can even lose consciousness suddenly is the natural alarm of your body. They remind you if you need to rest, don't push yourself too hard for something." Obviously the doctor.

"Does that mean my disease is now relapsing?" My toot.

I'm sure one of them can definitely answer this question. They both work in the medical world. So I guess this is a pretty easy question for them.

Alhin was silent, while the doctor nodded his head. Which means the answer he gave me to my question was "yes."

"Is it getting worse?" I ask once again.

"I don't see any signs that the disease lodged in your body will get worse. That means you're okay for now." Answer the man.

It was an answer that was enough to allow me to breathe again with relief. Even so, I must remain vigilant. It does not rule out the possibility that this disease will get worse and potentially threaten my survival.

"Well, that's all I can say. Get well soon, I'm sorry I have to go." Said the doctor while taking care of his notes.

"Thank you so much doc." My reply.

After the doctor left, Alhin began to open his voice.

"Is there a family member you can call right now?" Ask Alhin.

"My phone was left in class when I was heading to the UKS." My answer.

I don't remember my friends' numbers anyway. Grandma and Renata are also gone.

"But I remember the house phone." My next.

"Alright type the number here. I'll contact them and tell them your current condition." Reply Alhin while giving his cell phone.

I immediately typed in a few digits of numbers that I only remembered back then. When it was finished, I immediately returned it to Alhin. He called the number I gave him.

"Hello!" Sahut Alhin first, open the chat.

I can't hear who picked up the phone. Even what I said I can't hear from here.

"This is with her friend Eresha..." He said as he glanced towards the badge name on my uniform.

"Can you please come to the Prosperous Hospital? Eresha is here, she is now being treated. Can someone come here and accompany him?"

"Thank you, I'm looking forward to your presence here." Said Alhin who then immediately hung up his phone.

Maybe the one who picked up the phone just now was an aunt, or Stefani. Only the two of them were currently at home. Uh, but has Stefani gone home yet? I usually go to the cafe to get to work. Most likely if the one who received the phone earlier was an aunt.

"Someone will be here any minute." Alhin.

"Thank you so much for helping me. Sorry to bother you so much." My reply.

"Sama-sama, it's good to be able to help you. It's my duty anyway."

I feel really bad about this woman. I don't know what else to repay her kindness for. I think just saying thank you is not enough. Maybe I should give something more in return, as well as a sign of my gratitude.
