Sleeping Rooster

25. Dion Statement

A few months have passed. Linda and Dion had already moved up the class to 12th grade. Linda always saw a bench in the parking area that is now weathered and worn out.

"Ardan. I miss you." Linda grumbled.

Linda walked towards the classroom and occasionally looked at the beautiful blue sky. Under the morning breeze and the cluster of affected dried leaves made Linda feel relaxed for now.

"Linda.." call Dion.

Linda looked back and found Dion running towards her.

"Dion.." said Linda.

"You go to class. Anterine caves yes." pinta Dion.

"Can."

Linda and Dion are no longer in class because the rules of the school require that each class must randomize the student's name.

"Linda, you know who you are now?" ask Dion between trips to Linda's class.

"I knew. Sindy is what you mean."

"If you're being bullied, don't hesitate to tell me."

"Yes the cave knows. Thanks for the attention."

After taking Linda to her class, Dion retired to her class as well. Linda and Dion's class is one room away. Maybe not too far away either.

The female gang led by Sindy was already in the classroom. They are repairing their make up. Linda didn't want to make a fuss with them because it was still early in the morning and Linda wasn't in the mood for it.

Not long after the Sindy herd came and broke Linda's table.

"If the cave has PR work yes. The cave doesn't know what to do?" sindy whispered in her ear.

"The cave cliches didn't want to be disturbed this morning and the cave is not your babu." Linda told the gang.

"Crazy, you still don't care about us" Windy chirped from behind.

"What's the cave afraid of?!"

"It's on the other side, will you be afraid of us?"

Suddenly the Dinda grabbed my hair from behind and made me groan in pain.

"Not scared of us yet?" ask Dinda firmly.

Linda held Dinda's hand and then turned it around making Dinda moan in pain because of Linda's actions.

"Anjrit lu, SICK WOI.." erang Dinda.

"What, cave not horrified? . Oh...less less?"

Linda twisted with all her might until Dinda shed tears in pain.

"Clix.... Let go of the cave." asked Dinda while hoping to be released.

" ******!!!" snapped Sindy then slapped towards Linda. But Linda immediately caught Sindy's wrist and also twisted it as she did Dinda.

"Anjrite.... SICK." erang Sindy.

"Lu also wants to follow them Windy."

Windy had been silent about what he wanted. Windy can only beg to let go of his two best friends.

"Plis Nda, take them off." asked Windy as he turned to Linda.

Linda took off Windy's two friends' wrists and they then kept Linda away from leaving the class.

"Thank you, cake. There's no manners." stressed Linda as they rushed off to leave Linda.

...****************...

Dion crosses Linda's classroom and finds herself undisturbed by the gang of women Sindy leads. In fact, he did not find the gang in class.

"Alright, the situation is safe." murmured Dion.

"Dion..... Even dream there." call his friend.

...****************...

Linda was bored without Ardan. He was thinking how to wake Ardan up. He still can't make Ardan wake up from his sleep.

Are you comfortable now Ardan can see and hug your mother. Think Linda.

The bell rang, Linda immediately packed her things and left the class. When he got up from his seat, he was suddenly hit deliberately by Sindy.

"Ups. Sorry." chirped Sindy and left Linda with a mess on the floor.

"Patience Linda." Linda grumbled. He returned to clean up the book that had been hit by Sindy.

"Gua help here" said Dion arrived to help him.

"Thank you."

Linda and Dion are now relieved of their OSIS duties as they are now in 12th grade. Now the task of OSIS is carried out by their underclassmen.

Linda walks along with Dion to leave the class and rushes to the parking lot.

"What makes you want so badly to uncover the girl that's with Ardan? It can only worsen the relationship between me and Ardan and make it easier for you to take my heart?" ask Linda at length.

"I've taken your heart a few times, but you always think of Ardan. Your heart is full of him. I can what's Linda? You can only be with him. But I feel pain when you are sad. When you are sad because you were hurt by Ardan at that time. I went up to him and wanted to hit him but I still held him."

Linda stops her steps intentionally and asks one thing about Ardan.

"How did you know that Ardan was hospitalized?" ask Linda.

Anjrit gua keceplosan. Inner Dion.

"Eh, that..... I'm......"

...****************...

Dion, long enough to know of Ardan's illness, can only hug Linda to calm her down.

"Why didn't you tell me?" sobbing Isak Linda said it.

"I'm sorry Linda, I didn't mean not to tell you but I already promised Ardan."

Linda slapped Dion's cheek hard and made the entire cafe look in their direction.

"Tega lu Dion, Cave hates you."

"Linda please listen to my explanation first. Linda.." call Dion trying to pull Linda's hand.

"What else do you want to explain to the cave?. If you met Ardan when it fell in the rain why not immediately contact the cave. If Ardan is what? Especially if he has liver cancer. The cave regret now is that the new cave knows Ardan is trying to recover from his malignant disease." Linda said. He doesn't know whether to be angry or sad. His feelings are mixed now.

"So you already know that Ardan has cancer?" ask Dion.

"The two know from Lina."

Dion is silent feeling guilty about Linda's current situation which is like a guilty person for not knowing the ins and outs of Ardan.

"Sorry Linda, the cave has known for a long time. When he collapsed at his home. And you told the cave to drive him."

"Crazy you Dion, caves hate you." Linda hurried away leaving Ardan by the side of the road.

I know Linda would do this. I'm sorry Linda didn't tell you honestly. Inner Dion.

...****************...

Linda ordered a taxi and went to the hospital where Ardan was being treated. In the taxi Linda cried so much.

"Stupid you Linda, Fool." Angered Linda to herself while hitting her on the head.

Ardan why you make me such a bad guy. Don't you trust me anymore? I was always worried about you.

Linda looked blankly at the view of the city that was about to darken as it was almost night.

Linda pulled out her phone to tell her parents not to look for her.

|| Pa, I am currently visiting Ardan shortly I will be home a little night. ||
