Restore Your Smile
Accident
Three years of student life have been lived James and Dion in their respective campuses. Their daily routine from year to year, does not change too much.
But something is different this year. The Faculty of Fine Arts will hold a painting exhibition in three months and Dion is among the selected students given the opportunity to showcase his work.
This made Dion very excited. This could be a huge stepping stone to his future career.
James, who learned of the news from Dion, was also proud and gave his roommate full support.
But this gave Dion new time management problems. The dense lecture schedule, time to do the tasks of the lecturer, plus the busy part-time work, made Dion only able to prepare his work when the night was very late in the midst of fatigue.
"Th .... It's 1 in the morning .... Don't screw yourself! Moreover, you still need to get up early tomorrow, right?" james said to remind.
"Yes .... Any minute .... Nih liability .... The idea of the cave is still alive, " replied Dion with eyes that are still focused on staring at the canvas in front of him.
"As far as you are, deh .... The cave is ingetin. Don't get sick, " James added.
Hearing that, Dion laughed. "How do you talk to be like a mother, James? The mother's contagion stall ahead?"
"Monyong lo !! Dinasehatin bae-bae, even that kayak! Bodo ah .... The cave sleeps well!" sahut James turned his body which was already stuck in the bed.
Dion looked at his friend's back with a smile. He knew that actually that was a form of concern for James to him.
"Thank you, James .." said Dion sincerely to the back. James who heard the words just kept silent and pretended to have fallen asleep.

That afternoon James was gathering at the cafe with his campus friends, but his pocket money this month is still quite a lot left. It is not nice if too often refused their invitation, afraid of being counted as arrogant and exclusive pretentious. After all, he knew his parents' shipment was coming tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. So ... can dong, pamper yourself for the sake of socialization?
Apparently the Caller did not give up and kept trying to contact him. The phone kept ringing in the cafe.
"It .... Lift it up, bro .... Who knows how important." One of his friends finally spoke up.
Unkindly, James finally excused himself to his friends, then immediately went out of the cafe to receive the call.
"Hello?" james started the conversation.
"Hello, am I really talking to Brother James?" ask the voice of the man across there.
" Yes, myself, who is this?"
"My name is Rudi. Are you the family of Brother Dion?"
"No, I'm just a friend. I'm sorry, sir, just to be clear about the purpose for which you contacted me?" James is losing his patience.
"Sorry, I guess you're Brother Dion's family. If not, yes .... The story is rather long. Can you meet me now?" The man who claimed to be named Rudi again asked.
"For what business, sir?" james asked suspiciously. He read and heard a lot of fraud mode that started in this way.
"Brother Dion accident. He is now in the ICU RS. M. For more details, can you see me? I'm waiting for your arrival in front of the ICU room ..."
There came a sentence that was heard in James' ear. His brain was suddenly empty. He no longer focused on the voice on the phone until the phone died itself.
