CPTR II: SMALL INFLAMED LIVER

Hilda came out of the bathroom with her hair still wet. Drying her hair, Hilda said, "The hot water is still there. Shower at me."

Maya nods little still busy struggling with her laptop. Mayan fingers jump from one button to another quickly. Carving words, stringing them into the story he wanted.

Seeing this Hilda decided to sit on the bed while staring at Maya who was still busy typing. Next to Maya was a can of coffee that she was drinking. Looks like he's gonna be up late tonight.

Hilda intends to start a conversation with her best friend, but seeing Maya seriously like this she so undo her intentions. Hilda put her head on the bed and blinked her eyes several times. Without realizing it, he even overslept.

At 3am Hilda was awakened by a strange noise from inside the room. The lights were turned off and a dark atmosphere filled the room. Hilda slowly twisted her body and looked towards the source of the voice. Apparently it was Maya who was crying next to him.

Seeing this Hilda immediately woke up and shook Maya's body lightly. There was no reaction. Hilda peeked at Maya's tear-soaked face and realized that she was crying in her sleep.

Hilda took a deep breath and lay down next to Maya. Hilda hugged Maya tightly. A time like this was the only thing he could do. A few minutes later, Hilda fell asleep again.

RIIIIIIIIINNNGGGGG!!!!!

The sound of Hilda's brain-shaking alarm made Hilda immediately reach for her phone and turn off the alarm. Hilda checked the clock and the time showed it was 6 o'clock. Hilda immediately woke up with a sudden movement and accidentally stepped on Maya.

Hilda ran to the bathroom and hurriedly took a bath. When finished, with the body that has not been completely dry Hilda immediately turned on her shirt and get ready. Maya herself, who awoke to Hilda's furore, opened her refrigerator door and handed her a loaf of bread.

"Eat first" Maya said as she yawned widely.

"Thank you. I'll eat on the street."

"Now."

Maya pulls the hair dryer from the top of her dresser and starts drying her best friend's hair. Hilda then began to eat the bread that Maya gave greedily.

Silence filled the space between them. Hilda was not the kind of person who was good at starting talks. Usually always Maya who took the initiative. But considering the events of last night when she cried, Hilda forced herself to ask.

"What time is sleep?" hilda asked while chewing bread.

"Either. 1 O'clock maybe."

"Yourself?"

Maya nodded. "Lumayan."

Hilda knew that Maya was lying. Crying during sleep only proves that a person's stress is at its peak. But seeing Maya who could still act normally like this made her even more worried. Maya always vent her emotions to the story she was writing. I don't know what he's writing when he's stressed like this.

"Here" said Maya tidying up Hilda's curls.

"Lo what's dinner for? I'm going home early today."

"Whoever again? Ah, really worth a shot, deh. There is a house even bother to sleep in a room like gini. Yaudah, lalapan. The sambel manykin."

Hilda smiled at Maya's reply and nodded.

In the end Hilda arrived at her workplace a bit late. The students had come and waited, Hilda hurriedly entered the classroom and greeted the students and started teaching. From outside the Hilda class window could see the figure of the director looking at her with a hunting gaze. Hilda gave a small nod knowing that she would be scolded after this due to her delay.

After her morning class ended and all her students came out, Hilda peeked out looking for the figure of the Director who might be preparing to scold her. Hilda moved from one room to another.

"So does that anyway?"

The voice made Hilda soar in shock. Hilda hurriedly turned around and found the figure of Toni her co-worker. The Mathematics Teacher. The one where her boyfriend cheated the other day with a rich guy and went to the hotel.

Hilda seemed a little relieved but was also uncomfortable dealing with Toni. He is confused about how to deal with a co-worker whose girlfriend cheated on him. Hilda laughed awkwardly and said, "Hehe no, Mr. Director where, huh?"

"Oh, the Boss went to lunch. Wh why? Do you have any promises to her?"

"No. That's good."

"Yaudah, go eat yuk."

"Ah, um, the two of us?"

"Yes, Sherly's on a diet, so it's like we're both doing it."

".... Okay, so."

So both of them came out of the course institution and went outside where the hot sun immediately welcomed them. The two entered the front soto stall of the office and immediately ordered bowls for two people.

The state of the soto stalls outside can be full by workers like them. This shop is famous. The price is also affordable. For 7 years working here, I don't know how many bowls Hilda ate here.

"Crazy, hot today?" ask Toni while unbuttoning the top.

"There are still more classes?"

"Two doang."

"Great son. I'm up until tonight."

"Busy is it."

"Haha, yes, you have to work hard to be young." Toni plays her tea glass and then says, "Actually, now I'm eating money."

"Someone wants to buy, huh?"

"Not really, just get married" Toni said with a big smile.

Hearing that Hilda immediately felt a safety pin gouging her heart. Not because he had feelings for Toni, more because he knew in reality about his girlfriend Toni who had just cheated a few days ago.

"Well, congratulations." Hilda forced a single knotty smile.

"Haha, thanks. I always wanted to have a grandson from me. Maybe because my sister's kids are all recalcitrant that's why she wants grandchildren from me. His name is also an old man right, must have wanted a lot, haha."

Hilda is increasingly uncomfortable because Toni brought her parents. If only they knew the truth about their future son-in-law... Hilda as a sensitive person feels very sensitive when in a position like this. He doesn't like. But he chose to be quiet and not interfere with Toni's affairs.

"When is marriage?"

The question made Hilda wake up from her daydream.

"Emm, don't know, yeah."

"Lo's boyfriend came in the car, right?"

"Huh?"

"That, that suit, that expensive sedan, he's the big boss, huh?"

"Which one?" ask Hilda confused.

"That's the one who was picking up elo fitting we same kids again waiting for rain before the office."

Hilda suddenly wakes up and finds out who Toni meant. "Ah, no, that's my best friend. His name is Vino."

"Seriously? I'm kiraiin he's your girlfriend. Wow, what a pity. Why not just be? She's single too, right? You both seem to fit in though."

"He is single anyway. But I never felt bad about him. He is not interested in love. Make him work number one."

"Workaholic yes... Hmm, how long have you been waiting?"

"From college. So the story is I have a girl friend named Maya the same Rosa. Continue that day we have camping activities from campus but on waking up late. At the college we missed the bus. Suddenly there was a classmate who was also late and he happened to bring a car. Finally we go to him. On the road talk a lot and finally we become familiar. Uh, gosh, I'm sorry, but it's not a clear story. I often let go when I talk about the three of them."

"Hahaha this is the first time I've seen you so excited about the story. The four of you must be very familiar. Still going together until now?"

Hilda nodded. "We meet every month. Yes, although the time is uncertain because each has a busy so."

"Oh, yeah. It's so exciting to have such a best friend."

Hilda sipped her sweet iced tea and said, "Actually one of my best friends just broke up. He is cheerful and exciting but very closed. He said he broke up with his girlfriend. But yeah, he's looking at that stress."

"Hmm, people like that it's dangerous to be left alone."

"Yes, I feel that too. Because he's a closed man I feel he has a lot to hide. Do you think I should make him honest?"

"I don't think mending. Let alone. What matters is that you keep on doing him. There will also be times when he opens up on his own. Haha, actually your friend is exactly like my fiancee Rika. He was also very closed. But I still respect his privacy. I believe in relationships the most important thing is trust. Hence, I believe in continuing with him."

Hearing that for the second time Hilda's heart ached. He does not want to interfere in the affairs of Toni and her boyfriend but seeing the sincerity of Toni makes Hilda unbearable to him.

"Toni actually-"

"The photos are two?" ask the shop owner while putting their soto on the table.

"Yes, thank you, Mom. Wh why? What were you gonna say?" ask Toni while adding soy sauce to her soto.

Hilda looked at Toni for a long time. Then he smiled and said, "Son. Squirrels just."
