"Since the patient has a mild concussion, we will do a CT-scan to find out the overall condition."

"I'm fine" I'm Sekar.
"You're not okay. Your head has been bumped before. At least, you should think about your own condition." Arion sat down on the chair and clasped Sekar's hand. "See what I said just this once. Can you?"

"Sorry, why?" ask Arion.
"There was a commotion today. Indirectly I've humiliated your lover." Answer Sekar. His eyes looked sad when he said that.
Arion sighed then smiled slightly. "That woman is not my lover. He had a heart for a long time, but I had never considered him more than an ordinary friend." Answer Arion honestly.
"It is impossible that you do not like a woman as beautiful as her," said Sekar.
"Beautiful isn't enough to make a man like a woman."
Silence for a few moments.
"Sorry" said the girl again.
"No need to apologize, wani–"
Sekar cut off Arion's words, then said, "to my words the other day, which may have hurt you."
Arion paused for a moment to remember what the girl meant. After recall, Arion kept laughing. "I'm hurt, but it makes me realize that I don't expect you anymore."
Arion exhaled. "I thought I could do it, but it was really hard." His eyes stared intensely. "You know, what's the reason I moved here?" ask the man.
Shaking his head. Although he has speculation, but he is reluctant to express it.
Arion held Sekar's hand and squeezed it gently. "This is all I've done for you. I don't want to lose you. In fact, two weeks ago I was trying to stay away, it just made me even more unable to let go of you,"
Sekar's hand trembled slightly after hearing Arion's confession. "I'm sorry for everything I've done, including my lies about donator Mbah Bhanuwati."
"I never meant to demean you. Nor am I trying to take your heart with my treasure. It's all purely I do as a form of my love for you, Sekar,"
He pulled his hand from Arion's. The girl then************* both her own hands.
"Remain still, I feel overwhelmed by all that stuff. I don't want to owe anyone anything."
Arion smiled gently. "You don't owe me anything. Is it wrong for me to do that to my own lover?" tanyakanya.
Fainthearted.
