Love Lavender

PREJUDICE

The sunlight went through the window glass, making me wake up from a long sleep.

My eyes narrowed, trying to look around that felt foreign. Where am I?

It looked like an intravenous fluid was attached and a buffer device, coiled around my leg. It was painful and stiff all over my body.

The door opened, and I saw Bi Inah enter the room while carrying a bowl of porridge and soup.

“Eh, Neng is awake?”

Madam Inah rushed over to me who was still astonished by this situation.

“How is Neng doing now?”

“I'm where Bi?” is I asked back.

“There is a hospital. Yesterday, Neng fell down the stairs. Remember?”

I just remembered that fateful incident. O Allah.

“Thank God Neng is conscious. Doctors have been giving total dope since fainting. Because it must be checked immediately in detail the condition of Neng's body from head to toe.”

“Keep, what does Doctor Bi say?”

“Alhamdulillah Neng's head was not hit. The one with the back and the leg. God willing, the back will gradually improve, but Neng's left leg is broken, so it takes a long time to be back to normal.”

Allahs ... I'm back tested. Astagfirullah.

I'm nodding. There was a water that escaped my eyes.

“Sabar ya Neng, God is testing and aborting your sins.”

“Aamiin. Thanks Bi. Oya, Roy and Rey where?” I asked while wiping my tears.

“They're in school, Bibi asks Neng Verra to temporarily drop them off. And if they come home late in the afternoon, Aunt comes home with them. Is it okay to be alone first? God willing there are nurses who take care of.”

I nodded with a smile.

“About when you can go home? I'm afraid the hospital fees are swollen, especially when I was admitted to the VIP room.”

Bi Inah smiled and gently rubbed my head.

“Please Neng, about the cost has been fully borne by Pak Bos,” cetus Bi Inah.

“Pak Boss? Zidan?"

Bi Inah nodded.

"Alhamdulillah, but I'm ashamed to be such a hassle.”

I'm looking down lethargic.

“Insyaa Allah no. It's also called an accident. Yes already, Neng don't mind much, now eat after that take medicine. because in a moment, the Doctor will come check your condition.”

“Ya Bi.”

🍁🍁🍁

I feel so bored being in the room. I decided to get out, breathe some fresh air in the hospital garden.

I was in a wheelchair, and kept turning it until I reached the park not far from my room.

The baby blew flowers and leaves, waving a breeze through my veil. Tightness in the chest slightly healed, so that I did not feel my eyes closed.

A few minutes passed, I felt something warm touch my cheek.

I opened my eyes and checked what was happening.

“Hai.”

The micas? So Mika is the one who stroked my cheek.

I smiled stiffly. As soon as my hair stood up, I remembered what Verra had said a while ago. Is the assumption true, if Mika is a same-sex person?

I shook my head, not thinking about anything.

“Why you?” ask Mika.

“Ah is not. It seemed like a mosquito was bothering me,” I replied of origin.

“Kok you're here Mik?" my many.

“Which why? I'll look at you.”

“Oh, hehe .. thanks. Do you know from whom I went to the hospital?” I asked back.

“Zi who told me. How are you doing?” Mika asked back.

“Doctor said, my leg was broken. I have to undergo a series of therapies.”

Mika was sitting on the long chair, right next to my kusri rodaku.

“No need Mik, Mas Zidan has borne all the cost.”

Mika looks at.

“Alright then.”

His gaze was pointed forward, a smile expanding on his red lips.

“Comfortable atmosphere huh?”

I'm asserting.

“Lavender, may I speak something important?”

I stared at him intensely. I guessed what he wanted to talk about.

“I'm actually not starting a new business, or have a new activity. All looks the same and boring.”

Mika took a long breath.

“I'm lonely La. And I'm sick too. No one cares about me including my parents who are always busy."

I frowned.

“Sick?” my question does not understand.

He nodded and looked back at me.

“I was born from among people. People will think my life is perfect and happy, but it is not. But since meeting you first, I'm sure you can make me happy.”

Gluey!

My feelings are starting to get bad. Let's not say, what Verra said is true, if Mika is same-sex, hiii ....

“You let me down by making Eva your friend, our friend. Honestly, I hate it. I don't need Eva and anyone else, you're my only friend enough for me. But you pissed me off, until I bullied you back then."

His face began to wryly, he lowered his head not daring to look at me. I feel, Mika is different today.

“I did, so that all your attention would be on me. Maybe I'm selfish, but I'm just lonely La. Everyone who approached me, none of them were sincere. All because I'm rich. But you are not so, so I decided to just be friends with you.”

Astaghfirullah, I misjudged Mika all this time.

“Hate the taste, if there are others close to you, including Verra and my own cousin. That's why I told you to pretend to be mute and cover the mask, so that no one would come near you. But, you are too kind, so that others cannot hate you. I salute.”

Mika looked at me while tightly grasping my hand.

“Sorry I've been selfish all this time, wanting to make you my only friend. From now on, you no longer wear a mask and pretend to be mute. Also use your real name, Lavender, not Lani ..”

I smiled and returned his grasp.

“Forget Mik. I never took revenge on you. Trust me, I will always be your best friend, even if I have other friends. Oya, about pain, what are you sick?”

Mika took a heavy breath, she let go of that grasp.

“I have cancer myeloma. Doctor estimates my age will not be long, maybe only about two months.”

My eyes grew wide, not believing his words.

“Serious Mik??”

He nodded with a bland smile. His eyes began to glaze over.

“Yes Allah, astaghfirullah. Mika, I'm sure you can get through this. You have to fight to recover,” I said reassured him.

“My disease is late stage. There is no hope.”

Look her eyes dim. Mika who is firm, looks strong and elegant now looks fragile.

I shook my head strongly, rejecting his words.

“You don't believe in the same power of God?” I asked, I was annoyed by his weak attitude.

“Two years I fought La. Less especially. Nothing, I consider this the redemption of my sins all this time, including tyrannizing you.”

I pulled her body, and hugged her. We cry together.

“Why do you keep this burden alone Mik. Don't you consider me your best friend anymore?”

Mika shook her head, she wiped her tears and let go of my embrace.

“I don't want to make you tired, you're still sick. About me, we'll talk again, okay? Get well soon, I miss your sweet smile.”

He smiled briefly and passed away without looking at me again, even as I called his name, he did not hear.

I buried my face, and cried. Mika, I'm sorry I've been prejudiced by you all this time. Quickly heal.
