A bright light started to shine on my face. These eyes feel heavy to open.
"Hmmm.."
I tried to scream, hoping someone could hear it.
"Physilia, awake!"
There was a voice that echoed and shouted my name.
"Hey, open your eyes if you're alive!"
The sound was getting longer, louder and making my eardrum hurt.
"Respect, Fis. Please.."
This time his voice weakened like a phone running out of battery. Hearing him made me try to open my eyes again.
"Aww.."
"Physilia, you're finally conscious."
"Hmmm.."
Even though I tried, my voice still did not want to come out. Fortunately, I was able to open my eyes. Shortly after, the doctor came.
"Is the patient conscious?"
"Yes, doc. Please check on him!"
My vision looked so blurry, but as I tried to open my eyes wider, a light suddenly appeared.
"Hey, keep that away!"
"Ah, sorry. I'm just checking you out."
Delu approached me with a worried face.
"How, doc?"
"Oh, he's better now. Don't move so much to recover."
"I'm doing fine. Go there!"
"Pardon disturb. I'll go back to the room. Happy resting!"
The doctor smiled fakely. I just rolled my eyeballs after he came out and closed the door.
"You're nothing?!"
"What's wrong with you?"
"You broke through the audience and now you've scolded an innocent doctor."
"Then?"
Delu started to approach me. His face was about 4 cm away from me. Really makes a cramp.
"Then, you've troubled me twice."
"Why really?!"
As I recall in the patient's room AC has been provided, but why do I feel so hot?
"What's wrong with you? Why are you so sweaty?"
I did not answer his question and chose to turn my eyes in another direction.
"Your face looks flushed, do you have a fever?"
"I-i'm.."
His hand began to touch my forehead gently. Could summer have spread so quickly?
"Keep away!"
I also pushed Delu away. But unfortunately, he's not as weak as I thought. There were no bruises on his body as a result of being coughed again.
"Did I hurt you, honey?"
"I'm not. aww!!"
My hands hurt. I thought this pain was going to go away soon, but why is it getting worse?
"Don't move much!"
"My hands are sick.."
I just grimaced in pain. Delu who saw it immediately approached.
"Come here, let me see it."
Without any chatter, I give her my hand. My face is hot again now.
"Why with my hands?"
"The doctor said your hand was broken. Good thing I quickly gave you first aid, so there's no swelling in your arm."
Like I thought before. Now my hand can't be moved at all. I'm not sure if I can take class today?
"Well, you just rest. For the time being it's better that you don't take classes before your hands fully recover."
Delu was like a psychic reading my mind, her guess right in the center of my brain.
"I have to go in today!"
"Don't be stubborn. Remember, none of this would have happened if you hadn't broken through the dueling area !"
It was also true what Delu said. Supposedly, I thought before acting so as not to end up unlucky like this.
"Why? Did you just realize your mistake?"
"I-I know that! Stop lecturing me!"
"I just reminded you."
"Stop caring about me, Delu! I'm tired of you!"
Feeling annoyed at him, I immediately pulled the blanket to cover my entire body. For the time being, my mood was completely chaotic.
"Ehm, okay. If that's what you want, I'll go."
There was a bit of guilt in me, for I had driven him out violently. But really, I don't want to be disturbed today.
A few hours passed. I feel so bored being here, stuffy. I got up from the bed to go get some fresh air outside.
"This place is more aptly called hell than a clinic."
During the journey, I continued to mutter non-stop. While being engrossed in talking to myself, I accidentally saw a group of people who looked familiar to me.
"Hi, Fisilia!"
It was Chely. But what I saw was that not only Chely, Hedro and Delu also came to see me. I thought Delu really didn't want to see me.
"What are you doing here?"
"This, I want to apologize to you."
"No. It's not your fault, Hedro."
"I also want to apologize, Lia. Because of me, you got into trouble until you ended up in the clinic. Again sorry.."
Many times Hedro and Chely apologized to me, but my eyes kept on Delu.
"Hey, are you listening to me?"
"Ah, what?"
"You. uh!"
Suddenly Delu patted Chely on the shoulder from the side hinting to be silent for a moment.
"We'd better let Fisilia rest."
"Hm, but I still miss him.."
"Chely, don't you still have business after this?"
"Oh yes, my article!"
"Did Bu Sen give the group another assignment?"
I immediately raised my voice as they said the word 'duty'. Of course I panicked, as if I had skipped out for 3 days.
"Oh, no. It's just an individual assignment, but you don't worry. We've asked the professor for permission not to hold group assignments for a while."
Actually, I want to get back to the dorms as soon as possible. Too long here has driven me crazy. My brain feels so empty because it's been idle for too long.
"Lia, you don't have to worry about anything. In addition to visiting you, we also brought you a notebook and some worksheets to complete."
"You guys..."
Feeling bothered by her, I hugged Chely tightly.
"Ekhem, remember we're still here."
"Ah, Hedro! You want to get Lia's attention, don't you?"
My face turned red again hearing Chely's joke. But on the other hand, I saw a gloomy look on his face. I think today was enough of a hassle for friends.
"Oh, Lia. Are you getting interested in Hedro?"
"T-no. Thats impossible. Aren't you the one who's interested in him, El?"
I flirted with Chely again until he let out an annoyed expression. But still, the smell of sadness was still around me. The air outside was even colder than usual.
"All right, the party's over. Back to your dorms."
"Huh, basic regulator. See you, Liaku!"
"Hopefully get well soon, Liaku!"
"Hey, Lia's mine!"
"alright. Then you're mine."
"Hedro shit!!"
They were chasing each other away from me. Now we're just the two of us left. Delu covered my body which started to shiver with the jacket he was carrying.
"Rest."
That's all he said. This was the first time Delu had been cold to me, not as usual. He started walking away, but I quickly held him back.
"W-are you mad at me?"
Delu stopped in front of me without even turning around.
"No."
"You're upset with me, aren't you?"
Still in the same position. He answered my question briefly.
"No."
"Then, why are you so quiet and..."
I hadn't finished my words just now, Delu turned around and pulled my arm so close. I just kept quiet while looking at him timidly.
"I know you hate me. But, allow me to always take care of you whenever I want."
