Sleeping Rooster
12. Lost Contacts
Ardan opened his eyes and found himself in the hospital. He looked around and his net caught the figure of a beautiful face looking grim and sad to see Ardan lying down.
"Lina.." said Ardan.
"Ardan you're conscious." Lina replied looking worried.
Ardan nodded and looked back around. He did not find Mr. Herman and Bu Farda.
"Where are Mr. Herman and Bu Farda?"
"He took medicine for you."
Ardan nodded his head a second time. A few minutes, the two friends were silent to each other only the sound of clanking clockwork. Lina soon started a conversation.
"Since when have you had liver cancer?" ask Lina.
Ardan turned his face for a moment to look at the window, saw birds flying here and there and heard a loud noise passing by below.
"You know, how does it feel to be looked at even by the parents themselves?. like an unwanted child." Ardan said still looking at the view from the window.
Ardan got up and leaned against the edge of his bed and stared at Lina's black bead.
"I envy you." said Ardan.
Suddenly someone opened the door and made Ardan and Lina suddenly turn to the doorway. They found the two figures of a married couple approaching Ardan.
"Ardan, aren't you papa?" Worry Bu Farda.
"I'm good, ma'am." replied Ardan.
"Ardan, why don't you tell us about this. Father same mother is not your biological parents, but I have considered your own child. Son, how long have you been hiding this to me?" ask Mr. Herman
"Sorry sir, ma'am. Not that Ardan does not want to tell but Ardan does not want to make the same father's mother worried about Ardan's situation. Ardan has taken a lot of your nicotine from the past and Ardan does not want to be bothered again." said Ardan.
"But when you don't say this to us it makes us sick Ardan. Father has told you before. As bad as it is, tell us. Yehudah, rest. Don't mind much." advises Mr. Herman.
...****************...
Linda was seen pacing back and forth in her room. From yesterday, he got no message let alone meeting Ardan at school.
"Ardan, why is this worry spreading in my heart. Did you happen what Ardan did until you made me worry about you?"
The notification from her phone made Linda directly open her phone. But that was not a message from Ardan but Dion.
Dion :
You're free tomorrow, right?
^^^Linda :^^^
^^^Yes, why?^^^
Dion :

^^^Linda :^^^

Dion :

^^^Linda :^^^
^^^Baiklah. Whose house?^^^
Dion is happy that Linda will be able to join the group tomorrow. He never stopped saying yes yes yes yes.
Dion :
At 8 in the cave house, the cave will invite Wati to Juno as well.
^^^Linda :^^^
^^^Okay tomorrow the cave is directly there.^^^
After replying to a message from Dion, Linda opened the message she always sent to Ardan. He read a short message but made him happy.
"The cave likes you Ardan. Somehow my heart was pounding when we first met in the UKS. At that time I wanted to have you be my lover or maybe my husband. Jeez Linda lu why so halu gini anyway." gritted with the devil in his room.
Satan be like: It's the girl's habit. So don't bother.
...****************...
Linda tried to contact Ardan because yesterday she forgot. He sat on the porch waiting for an invitation from Dion. But Ardan didn't respond to Linda's call.
"This is where people worry about it." Linda growled.
Dion arrived at the front porch of his house. Linda was still focusing on her phone.
"Linda.." said Dion.
Linda was still struggling with her phone until Dion's motor sport bell surprised her.
Tiiinnnnn.
"Devil, good thing the cave phone didn't fall." Linda chirped.
"So seriously look at his cell phone." joked Dion
"So much as the cave." said Linda.
Linda stood up and approached Dion's sports bike and put on the helmet that Dion was proposing.
"Lu know about Ardan, don't you?" ask Linda after putting her helmet on.
"Lu why ask about him." jutek Dion.
"Some papa. Yesterday he didn't go to school."
"Ask the same guy. Why ask the cave." Dion.
"Didih, that's how you get angry." Linda said.
Linda then climbed up and held Dion's shoulder to avoid falling. Dion presses his motorbike and stops it suddenly to make Linda immediately hug Dion's waist.
"That's dong. Hold it on your shoulder like a friend." - seduced Dion.
"Well, we won" said Linda, turning her hand back to Dion.
Linda's words made Dion's heart ache. Linda still thinks of herself as just a friend. But Dion will not despair making Linda fall in love with him.
"Jaudah we walk." take Dion and immediately launch the motor sport.
...****************...
"Ardan, why don't you eat?. Want me a bribe?" ask Lina.
"Males the cave." answered Ardan.
Lina then sat on the bench next to Ardan's bed.
"If you don't want to eat. How can you be healthy. Eat just a little." said Lina while taking a bowl of porridge on the small table next to her.
"Can I borrow your cell phone?" ask Ardan.
"Can you do what?"
Lina pulled out her phone and was immediately cut off by Ardan. Ardan then picks up Lina's phone and calls Linda. There was no response from Linda.
"Thank you." while returning Lina's phone.
Ardan got out of his bed and forcibly removed the infusion hose stuck in his hand.
"Where are you going?" ask Lina.
"Neither need to know."
Ardan hurried away leaving Lina alone in his room. Fortunately, Mr. Herman brought his sports bike and put it on the hospital basemant. He walked to the parking lot and drove his motorbike.
Lina was still staring blankly at the doorway that opened due to Ardan.
So this is what you mean by Ardan's answer. Inner Lina.
...****************...
"Ardan, if we grow up later. You don't want to marry me?" little Lina asked.
"Isn't it?!.No. Lina you must have a perfect partner instead of me." replied Ardan.
Ardan hurried away from the garden and left Lina.
"Ardan.... Wait for me." shouted Lina.
...****************...
Ardan propelled his motorcycle until he got to his house. He then went in and changed clothes to go to Linda's house.
The sun was shining brightly above the head. The hot afternoon did not shrink Ardan's longing for Linda. He was eager to see Linda's face.
On the road he caught a figure he liked being piggybacked by a man.
"It's like Linda."
Seeing that, Ardan turned around and immediately gasp followed the sport bike. Dion saw that there was an awkwardness behind his rearview like someone was following him. Dion sees Ardan's sports bike behind him. The faster Dion moved the bike, making Linda hold Dion's shoulder tighter.
"Hand hold Linda" said Dion.
"Haa.. What's..... The cave doesn't hear." Linda didn't hear what Dion said because Dion was driving fast enough.
Seeing the man getting faster driving makes Ardan also drove his motorbike as fast as lightning. Until he can cut off the path of the motorist.
Dion was surprised to see Ardan's motor in front of him and immediately stopped him suddenly. Linda while surprised by the sudden brake from Dion.
