Paper Layangan

Uncheck

With trembling Riyan continued to run in the hospital hallway. He did not care about the looks of those who were astonished at him. He doesn't even care about his messy clothes.

Meet, room 205. With a trembling hand he opened the door of the room. The first one he saw was the Eyebrow lying in his bed still closing its eyes. He ran over to Eyebrow without caring about the surroundings and hugged Eyebrow tightly.

"Why do you do this, baby. Why?" riyan muttered more to herself. His sadness this time felt was incredible, even his fear haunted him even more. Is it possible that he was like this because of Riyan's request? That's what Ryan thinks. He feels very guilty. Riyan stared deeply at the face of Eyebrow and looked at the bandaged-looking hands of Eyebrows. Regret has regained control of his heart. Again, he could not protect his brother. This time, the promise he had just made last night had already been broken.

Riyan sat himself beside the bed of Eyebrows. Riyan continued to caress the head of Eyebrows without noticing the astonished gazes of the two pairs of eyes that were behind him. Even he continued to stare at Eyebrows without getting bored. His hand moved slowly grabbing the hand of the infused Eyebrow and stroking it. He realized that his sister was very fragile, even more fragile than last night.

"Prophey, Eyebrows must be fine." Riyan was very surprised to hear the presence of another voice in this room, he looked back. Right behind him, stood a student who was still wearing the same uniform as the uniform worn by Eyebrow. Even the uniform also still has blood spots. He frowned in wonder at the existence of the young man who was very foreign in his eyes.

"Yan, how's Eyebrows doing?" January who had just entered the room Alis looked ragged. He was very surprised to hear the news he just got from Angga.

All the occupants of the room except for Eyebrows, stared at the direction of January who was walking towards them. He settled himself in a sofa next to Angga. Her appearance was not as different as that of Riyan. It even looks like he wiped the sweat off his forehead.

"He's not conscious yet." It was not Riyan who answered, nor was it Angga but Al. Al stared deeply at Eyebrow, a foreign feeling regaining control of his chest. Pain when seeing Eyebrows lying weak like this.

"So, anyone know the cause of Eyebrows being like this?" Said Riyan who was looking towards Al and also Angga. Riyan looked back to grin when he saw Angga, his memory again revolved when he met Alis during a cafe last time.

Angga just kept quiet, he kept thinking about the relationship of Eyebrow and Riyan that he did not know at all. This is the time the two met with the figure of Riyan after being at the cafe with Alis first.

Only Al knew about all of this. He nodded his head steadily. Everything in the room seemed tense waiting for the word that would come out of Al's lips. Al starts his story from a schoolgirl who accidentally bumps into him while walking, then their meeting, a sudden change in Alis attitude and the last is the state of Alis while on the school rooftop.

"So, does anyone know about the new girl?" tanya January who asked while staring at Al and Angga alternately.

Al and Angga shook their heads in unison.

While Riyan seemed to be overwhelmed by anger, he clasped his hands tightly until his knuckles turned white.

Riyan seemed to reach into his phone and press something. Then put the phone on the side of his right ear. On the first ring, the call is immediately answered.

"Hello, try to find out the identity of the new student at the Space High School. In just 30 minutes, send me the report immediately." He spoke coldly. Riyan turned off his phone after getting a reply from across the street, from his man. This time he would not stay silent with all that had plagued Alis' life.

Meanwhile, Al's mind kept asking about Riyan and his relationship with Alis. It felt like his head was so dead-end thinking about it all. 'Who exactly is this guy?'ask Al in his mind.

The door of the Eyebrow room was open and a doctor and nurse entered the room. The 30-year-old woman has finished examining her patients.

"Which patient's family?" ask the doctor named Anggi tag, while staring one by one in the room. Riyan and January both spoke at the same time.

"We're in my room because there's something to say about the patient's condition." Anggi replied while staring at Riyan.

Riyan nodded his head and followed the steps of the doctor who walked out first. He looked towards January and nodded his head which was reciprocated also with a nod of the head by January.

"You two can go home, you might still have needs with your school." January looked at Angga and Al in turn.

"Yes, yeah." Angga replied, looking towards January and Al. The two of them looked at each other and then nodded their heads.

"Oh yes, thank you very much for your help on Eyebrows. What's more you." January who walked towards Al seemed to be patting his shoulder. "Don't forget, change his clothes." point January to Al's shirt which still has blood spots.

"Yes, thank you." replied Al while nodding his head.

"Whose name are you?" tanya January returned who remembered him and the young man in front of him had not been acquainted.

Al thrust his hand which was welcomed back by January. "Aldebran, just call Al."

"January."

"I'm sorry, you want to go to school." Al reopened his voice. January nodded his head.

Along the way, Al and Angga were silent, with no one opening the conversation first. They seem to be busy with their own thoughts.

"So, do you know about the Alis family?" asked Al who was curious about the existence of Riyan earlier, upon arrival at the school parking lot.

Angga looked towards Al who was also staring at him. He shook his head. "I don't know him either. I only know about January who's Alis's foster brother." Angga looked at Al and sighed.

Al nodded his head, he understood all that. He was reminded again of Riyan who ruled so easily just because he saw the condition of the Eyebrows. But he also could not interfere with all that because he was not who the Eyebrows were.

The atmosphere of the school is crowded because it coincides with the time of rest. Al immediately stepped into his car to change his dirty uniform. He always prepares his clothes in the car or in a locker in his class.

Al stepped towards the canteen, his depleted mind making him hungry. Some of the students looked at Al and threw smiles but were not responded to.

"Al, what about Eyebrows?" ask Andra when Al sits himself in the canteen.

Al looked at his friends, he took his breath slowly. "So still unconscious" replied Al sober, he looked lethargic.

"What's!? What's with the Eyebrows!?" Liza who passed the table Al heard them mention the name Alis. Not wrong again, surely the Eyebrows they mean are the Eyebrows of the strange girl, her best friend. He knew that Alis and Al were close. He kicked down Al's table which made all the canteen residents look silently at them in wonder.

"Ma'af-ma'af, I was swatting flies on their spelling." Liza looked at the entire canteen occupants with a grin.

Irfan who was beside Liza looked surprised. He stared at Liza, then laughed out loud. While Al and the others just shook their heads looking at Liza's behavior that looks barbaric.

"So someone can explain it to me" Liza continued in a voice that sounded like a whisper. He settled himself beside Irfan as well as Alex who from the beginning along with Liza. He looked at one by one the occupants in the table. Now his astonishment was answered already, since this morning he seemed agitated because not usually Eyebrows did not enter the class without telling him.

"We order food first, just talk." Cut Irfan who was staring at them for approval. They nod their heads.

The atmosphere of the canteen sounded boisterous with the presence of new students. Some of them seemed to be cheering and teasing because of the appearance of Alifa who seemed more courageous. But Alifa continued to slow down casually, he did not care about the others. Alifa occupied the bench that was in the corner alone. His eyes scanned the entire canteen like they were looking for the whereabouts of someone.

All of this did not escape Al's sight. Al stared intently at Alifa, a gaze he rarely showed. Liza took notice of Al's gaze, as well as the others.

"It was the girl who made the Eyebrows injure herself." sis Al still with her sharp gaze.

"What's!? So the Eyebrow hurt itself!?" Liza spoke in a low voice but she again kicked the table. "Sorry, reflexes." Liza looked back at the entire cafeteria that was also staring at her in surprise. He rubbed his neck a few times.

Irfan and the others looked at Liza with gawks. Unlike Al and Aldo, they still look calm.

"Yes, and do you know the relationship between Alis and the girl?" Al stared expectantly at Liza, wanting Liza to have the answer to the riddle that rattled her eyes.

"Sorry, I don't know the girl at all." Liza looked at Alifa at a glance and looked back at Al regretfully. It was true that Liza did not know him. He did know the life of Eyebrows even the relationship of Eyebrows and his parents, but about the problem of Eyebrows in the past, he did not know at all. Even he also knew that Alis had a half-brother, until now he had never seen the trunk of his nose.

"You're his best friend, time doesn't know a shred of your own sahabt." Irfan sneered towards Liza. He felt that Liza was covering something about Eyebrows from them.

"Friends also need privacy, you know!" Liza replied by glancing at Irfan.

"Have it, don't make a fuss." scolded Alex who looked at Irfan who had opened his mouth to answer Liza's statement, but back out. "It's not the time for a storm, we're talking about sick Eyebrows, not about their privacy" Alex replied later.

"Later we talk about it, somewhere else after school." Al mediated by looking at them one by one. They nodded their heads and took their orders.
