LOVE OF ORDINARY MEN

Test of faith

"Sir, are you sure you won't contact your parents? I was worried that until you were infused like this", Laras' face looked anxious to see Anika lying weakly on top of the gurney.

Anika tried to smile, "No need, Race. My parents are out of town and they're very busy. I can take care of myself".

"Yes but Nik, there's no harm in telling them. If anything happens, bother later", explained Laras insisted.

Anika shook her head. He prefers to be treated without friends rather than having to contact his father and mother who are too busy where they live.

"All be fine, Race. If you do not bother, I want to be accompanied by you, yes", pinta Anika lirih.

Laras who actually already knows a lot of what the condition of the family and Anika's parents finally chose to nod their heads. He did not want to force Anika in the middle of her sick condition like this.

"Oh yeah, I have insurance. So, all my care here can use that insurance. If you bother, you can contact Diva, my insurance agent. The number is on my phone", continued Anika again.

"Ok, Nik".

Before long, a doctor and a nurse came to Anika and Laras.

"Good day, how is he now?", asked the Putra doctor.

"As the doctor saw", Anika answered short.

The Son's doctor smiled faintly, "The lab test results are out and you are sick with thypus. So, the next few days you have to be treated and are under my supervision and also Sister Dina", explained the Putra doctor as he pointed to the beautiful nurse standing behind him.

"Ok, thank you, Doc", replied Anika. He smiled at the doctor Son and Sister Dina.

"Oh yes, this is your friend?", the Son's doctor glanced at Laras who had been silently listening.

"Yes, Doc, I'm Laras, Anika's friend", replied Laras quickly.

Putra's doctor smiled kindly, "Please take care of and pay attention to food as well as nutrition intake for Anika, yes", the doctor's message Putra before he and Sister Dina passed.

"Ready, Doc", replied Laras sprightly.

After the death of Putra's doctor, Sister Dina kept some drugs and explained the rules of drinking to Anika as well as Laras. Laras listened well to Sister Dina's explanation.

"At lunch will come, later do not forget the medicine began to be taken after lunch and every three hours I will come here to check the infusion also Anika's condition, yes", sister Dina's message.

"Well, Sus, thank you", Laras and Anika answered simultaneously. Sister Dina passed.

The clock shows at four o'clock in the afternoon when Narendra's phone rings.

"Hallo, Race".

"Dra, Anika is sick and is now hospitalized X".

"What's? getting sick? Anika's sick what, Ras?".

"Thypus. If you have free time, you come here, see him".

"Ok, I'll be there".

"Sip, don't forget to bring any fruit or food for Anika".

"OKs. Thanks Ras for telling me".

After the call was over, Narendra immediately took his jacket and keys to his favorite motorcycle.

"Rendra, where are you going? I was in such a hurry", asked Mama Atia to her son.

"Rendra let me go for a second, Ma. Want to look at a sick friend" answered Narendra quickly after kissing the lightning back of his hand.

"Be careful and don't speed" shouted Mama Atia just before Narendra disappeared from her sight.

"Abi, we're going to the yuk hospital", take Jaka suddenly.

Abhimanyu scrunched his forehead, "What do you think, Jak? lo's sick?".

"Ck, no, I'm healthy. I heard that Anika was admitted to hospital X. Friends in her class were rame on the story", explained Jaka.

The look on Abhimanyu's face turned anxious when he heard Anika's name called.

"Ok, we stopped by to buy some food before we got there", Abhimanyu immediately stood up from his seat.

Jaka nodded his head. He decided to clean up before he and Abhimanyu went to see Anika.

.

"Ras, if you're tired, you go back to kosan. I'm fine here alone", Anika looked at Laras' tired face.

"No, Nik. I'm not tired really, just achy because it hasn't collapsed" Laras replied honestly.

Yes, in the room where Anika was treated there was only one seat without a backrest and the patient's waiter was forbidden to use an empty gurney for rest.

"Sorry yes, I'm repotin' you, Ras. Back to Kosan", Pinta Anika again. Laras shook his head.

"Hi", a greeting made Anika and Laras turn their heads towards the arrival of the sound.

Near the door, the faces of Abhimanyu and Jaka who looked at Anika as well as Laras.

Abhimanyu and Jaka entered the ward.

"I'm sorry, we're just starving" Abhimanyu said.

"What's your condition, Nik?", he continued.

Anika smiled thinly with a pale face, "I'm fine, Bi. Thanks to you, Jaka has come here".

Abhimanyu smiled faintly and nodded his head.

"You know where Anika got sick from and was treated here? the feeling I just gave news to Narendra deh" said Laras keceplosan.

"You know, friends on campus in the language of Anika who has not been in college for a few days" Jaka responded.

Laras nodded his head to understand why Abhimanyu and Jaka were in the hospital.

"Ras, you mean tell Narendra, what?", asked Anika in surprise.

Laras' face looked surprised, "Oh, uh that .. earlier he contacted me, Nik nanya about the continuation of my business as well as her. Well I said that now I can not meet him because again take care of you who are sick here", explained Laras rumbling and origin.

"If you have any business, really, Ras, I'm fine to be left here. There is Sister Dina who can take care of me" said Anika unsuspecting.

The barrel just shows its whim.

"Oh yes, sorry I cut, this is me the same Jaka bring a little food for you also Laras", Abhimanyu showed the bag of crackle that had been brought earlier.

"Thank you very much, Bi. Know if we are hungry", as well as Laras while receiving the bag of crackle.

"There are many yes, Bi, Jaka as well" said Anika sincerely.

"Look out, Nik. Abhimanyu was very worried right I told him that you were being treated. He is shopping everything", explained Jaka who got the elbow from Abhimanyu.

"That guy nyutik me", continued Jaka innocently.

Anika and Laras chuckle at Jaka and Abhimanyu's behavior.

"Hallo, may I come in?", came the sound of someone near the open door of the ward. Narendra is coming.

"Eh Rendra, come in here" asked Laras again.

Narendra stepped foot and smiled at everyone who was there.

"Hi Anika's. What's the situation now?", asked Narendra.

"My condition is good, thanks for coming here" replied Anika.

Narendra smiled, "Oh yes, here I bring a little food and fruit. You will eat it so that it heals quickly".

"Wiihh Nik, look, we harvest food" cried Laras happy.

"Yes. Thanks again, Dra", replied Anika.

The atmosphere in the room momentarily turned stiff. Narendra glanced at Abhimanyu and Jaka, wondering why were the two classmates here?.

"We came to visit Anika and send food as well" said Jaka, who seemed to understand Narendra's intention to see her and Abhimanyu.

Narendra smiled thinly. There was a sense of displeasure in his heart to see the whereabouts of the two friends there, especially seeing the whereabouts of Abhimanyu.

"Hey than you guys are dumb, I peeled mangoes and pudding yes, let us eat together", The sensitive barrel with the situation in the room tried to melt the atmosphere without waiting for approval.

Things turn a little more relaxed when Laras tells some jokes that make everyone laugh a little.

"Bi, already want nine o'clock, we say goodbye", Jaka invited after glancing at the clock in his hand.

Abhimanyu nodded his head, "Anika, we go back first huh. May you recover soon and if you need something do not hesitate to tell us".

"Laras, Narendra, we say goodbye first, yes", Abhimanyu looked at Anika, Laras, and Narendra alternately.

"Thank you and thank you for the food" Anika replied kindly.

"I'm also saying goodbye, it's late" continued Narendra who has now stood sari where he sat.

After saying goodbye to Anika and Laras, the three men left the room.

All the way to the parking lot, no one spoke.

"Wait", Narendra held back Abhimanyu and Jaka's footsteps as the three of them reached the hospital basement.

"Why, Dra?", asked Abhimanyu.

"Are you interested in Anika?", asked Narendra to the point.

"I mean?", Abhimanyu was astonished.

Narendra smiled cynically, "We are both men, Bi. I can see the way you look at Anika. Do you have the same feeling as him?".

"Ck, trouble for you?", Jaka who responded to Narendra's speech.

"Shut up, Jak. I only have Abhimanyu's business", replied Narendra with a dislike gaze towards Jaka.

"Areally my guess?", again, Narendra looked at Abhimanyu.

Abhimanyu smiled faintly, "My conscience and feelings are my absolute business, not your business, sorry", Abhimanyu replied casually.

He gives the code to Jaka to immediately head for their bike and let Narendra sculpt himself in his place.
