Love And Medicine's
Trying to hold on
“Thank you, Mang,” Naava told Mang Adi because he had sent it to the Hospital earlier. The time has now shown at half eleven o'clock. Oma, Gale's mother and father seemed to have fallen asleep as well. Naava set his feet with the weight of the guest room, where he would lay down for a moment his tired body.
So much is there about his trip to Yogyakarta this time. He tried to remember the good people who were here, Dad, Mom, Gale, and Ajeng. About the comfortable atmosphere that He got in the small family Gale, about the sincere love of Gale for Ajeng even though He had been hurt, about the story of Ajeng who still wanted to make others happy, and the story of Ajeng, even though he himself was hurt. Hah, so many stories left here. He did not want to feel like he returned so quickly to leave all the stories that happened in Yogyakarta. Tomorrow the flight to Jakarta is scheduled to take off at 10:00 wib, He must immediately rest and forget all the bitter memories that He has seen and heard. He had already decided, to stop this match and immediately tell Gale about it.
‘Gale should be able to choose without the need for pressure, without the need to burden. Gale should be able to choose Ajeng, where his heart was anchored long ago. I can treat my own wounds, my wounds are not comparable to the wounds that face Ajeng’ Naava said in his heart. He rushed to shower immediately, at least it could slightly reduce the fatigue felt by him. After the bath, he immediately headed for the guest bedroom, where he would rest in his sleep. Not long lying down, in an instant he immediately fell asleep.

This morning he woke up faster than usual, Naava felt very thirsty, his throat felt dry. He walked blindfolded to Gale's kitchen, looking for a glass and fetching water from a dispenser near the cupboard. He was shocked, because suddenly his hand was pulled by someone.
"Yeah, can we talk to you for a second? All is not as you see, Naa,” said Gale who suddenly appeared from behind and pulled his hand
“Hah? Ye? Why is it suddenly here?" asked Naava in shock at Gale's presence in the kitchen, early in the morning
“Don't think anything, last night was not what you thought,” said Gale calmly.
“You why are here? You should be in the hospital guarding Ajeng!,” Tanya Naava insisted on asking Gale that
“I have permission for Ajeng to go home for a while, his mother is there to take care of him" Gale told Naava. He still held Naava's hand firmly. Naava, who had vowed in his heart to cancel this match, immediately threw Gale's hand and made Gale surprised, Gale looked at him with questioning eyes.
"Gale, sorry, I can't go on with all this" Naava said softly as he bowed
"No, I've explained, this is not what you think it is," said Gale holding Naava's shoulder.
"Please, we cancel all this. You and Ajeng love each other. Go and come back to her," Naava said, holding back tears. He tried to stare hard into Gale's eyes, hinting that He had enough of all this. The feeling in his chest was really painful, he tried his hardest not to drop a tear in front of Gale. He did not want Gale to feel sorry for him
"Why are you talking like that? Me and Ajeng just..,"
"I try to pretend to be insensitive with how you feel about each other!! But, over time this feeling tormented me!! I know, in every corner of your heart there is only Ajeng!! Your eyes speak, every time you tell me things about Ajeng!! Enough Gale! I stopped, I felt pain, because I started to love you!!," Naava said as he broke into tears. His lips trembled in spontaneous word-for-word popping out of his mouth.
"And I've had enough of it all, so please, I don't want to fall for you too far, it's all so painful for me, Gale..," Naava said in tears.
Gale spontaneously hugged her with both hands. He didn't say a word to Naava. He held Naava in his arms, feeling Naava's body trembling with sobbing tears. The two of them hugged in silence, in silence. Gale remained waiting until Naava calmed down.
"We'll stay together, please don't say those words again. I don't want to part with you. Trust me, Naa. Everything will be fine, ." Gale said as she stroked Naava's long unraveling hair. Naava just cried silently in Gale's arms.
"Please, don't ever give up on me, Naa. I know, you have a stronger heart than Ajeng. I know, even from the first day we met, you'd keep me no matter what, and I was also immediately sure that you would also be someone who has a place in my heart" said Gale again. He hugged Naava even tighter. Naava only cried hearing what was said from Gale's lips.
"Now, all you have to do is one. Wait for me in Jakarta. Later, when the condition of Ajeng has improved, I will soon return to Jakarta. Don't hesitate about anything, I'll stay with you, Naa," Gale told Naava, who was silent in her arms. They fell silent again in an embrace, until Naava already felt calmer than before.
"The plane takes off at 10:00, Now it's time for you to get ready, I'll take you and Oma to the airport" Gale said as she let go of Naava's body.
"I believe you, Gal.. I'll be waiting for you. Hurry back yes, the house feels lonely if there is no you there," Naava said with a smile.
"Yes, Naa, now come on, I'll help you prepare your things" Gale told Naava
***
The plane took off at 10:05 Wib, just five minutes late from scheduled. Oma and Naava return to Jakarta. From Yogyakarta, Naava brought little by little answers about Gale's feelings during this time. Only one that He kept in his heart, whoever Gale would choose later, that He knew, his heart He had given to Gale. The hard and ugly Gale, the grumpy Gale, the quiet Gale, Gale who turns out to also keep a sense of silence on him.
'Goodbye Yogyakarta, a city full of memories. Someday, I want to stay here even longer Naava said in his heart.
