The Alter Ego's Struggle to Fix Life

The Truth that Hurt

Bagas who was too busy with Steve's corpse continued to hug Steve's corpse and cry without a sound. Steve was Bagas' first friend. Before, Bagas never made any close friends. But, it seems that nature does not allow Bagas to have close friends. God took Steve from him.

“Young Master, I found him in the other room!” said a man of great stature with a short-haired girl.

Bagas took his eyes off of Steve's corpse and saw Vina's deathly pale face and fell on the floor.

‘What the fuck? Is this a dream?’ inner Vina could not believe seeing Steve's body that had been stretched stiff in Bagas' lap.

“Vin, a-aku—” Bagas is unable to continue his sentence.

Suddenly Vina ran and lunged at Bagas so that Bagas' body slightly fell onto the cold floor. Vina hugged Steve tightly and kept patting Steve on the cheek fondly.

“Come on Veve, I know you're kidding right with me?”

Veve, Vina's affectionate call to Steve. Sounds funny indeed, but Vina does intend like that to make it look more special.

“Wake! I beg!”

“Open your eyes! You promised to marry me and live happily with me. You said no matter the parents or even the world was against our relationship. You will marry me! Where promise! Now I ask you, open your eyes!” say Vina at length with a high-pitched final sentence.

Bagas who saw that felt so sad. He knows what it feels like to lose a loved one. Although at that time his age was still small. But Bagas could already feel what it was like to lose.

Bagas approached Vina slowly and held both of Vina's shoulders slowly.

“Vin, you need to be strong!” said Bagas in a weak tone.

Vina turned her gaze towards Bagas. His eyes are already in tears. His face was already muddled with an extremely apprehensive expression.

“Veve can't possibly leave me right?” ask Vina weakly.

Bagas who heard Vina's question in a low tone was increasingly unbearable and hugged Vina warmly.

Bagas let Vina hug herself tightly and cried as much as she could on the chest of her field. Bagas continued to hug Vina and slightly stroked Vina's back slowly.

‘Steve, I didn't expect that our friendship would only end here. Not because of a quarrel, but because of the separation of nature. Sick, look at you like that Steve,’ Inner Bagas Pilu see the corpse of Steve who has begun to be lifted with the Bagas guards.

A few days after the accident. Bagas routinely visited Vina who was being treated in the hospital. Vina was so severely depressed that she was often unconscious. Not to mention, it turns out Steve came to the empty house to save Vina who was being held captive with the accomplices of Steve's own father. So Vina lost a lot of body fluids which caused her body to become weaker. Plus when Vina regained consciousness from her stupor, Vina only remembered Steve's departure. His gaze was so empty and not passionate at all. Let alone to eat or drink, to open his mouth to answer the question only Vina did not want to do it.

Bagas approached Vina who was sitting in a chair facing the window. Bagas squatted in front of Vina while carrying a bouquet of white lilies.

“Halo Vina! Good afternoon! Sorry I just got here. Oh yes, I brought your favorite white lilies!” Bagas paused his sentence hoping for Vina to chim in on his nonsense or at least shift his attention towards it.

But again, Vina remained silent with a blank look ahead.

Bagas who saw Vina remained silent took the initiative to put the white lily onto a small table with a patient bed.

Just as Bagas was about to approach Vina again, a nurse came in and asked Bagas to take a moment for Vina's examination.

“Good, Doc!” nod and step out of the room.

Bagas looked at the twilight sky at that time which was still shrouded in cloudy clouds. A few days since Steve's departure. The sky also seemed to mourn with its dark color. Never let the sun shine brightly. Like warning Bagas, if he is not allowed to be happy.

Bagas exhaled a tired breath. ‘What should I do for Vina, Steve?’

Bagas who was pondering his own mind was jolted when he heard the voice of a woman's cry. Bagas immediately entered Vina's room as the sound of shouting came from Vina's room.

“What's up, Sus” asked Bagas to the nurse earlier.

“Patients, patients fleeing!” point the nurse towards the window that is left open.

Bagas immediately turned his gaze towards the open window and jumped through it. As it landed on the ground, Bagas circulated his gaze looking for Vina's figure. Until Bagas can see the figure of Vina from a distance who has run towards the highway. Bagas who saw that immediately ran after Vina. However, it was too late when Bagas saw a high-speed car driving towards Vina.

Then, immediately Vina's body floated into the air and landed on the street with blood already splattered.

Bagas froze in place. Again, for the second time he saw how a friend of his lost his life. Didn't he manage to run Steve's last message to keep Vina?

***

“Dok, I beg you please save my friend's life!” pinta Bagas with a face that looks frustrated.

“Good, Sir. I will do the best I can,” said the doctor before wearing a mask and entering the operating room.

When the operation sign light starts, Bagas can't stop fretting. His legs continued to move his body to flip through the hallway of the hospital. Bagas really felt unreliable as a friend.

“Yes God, I rarely worship you. But please save my friend's life!” said Bagas a little sliced with himself.

He never prayed and now he does not know the shame of asking God for help.

Bagas waited long enough for the operating room to open and the operating lights were no longer on.

“How's Dok?”

“Thank God, the operation went well. We'll monitor the continuation, sir. Depending on how much the patient wants to rise from his subconscious.”

Bagas just silently accepted the explanation and looked at the room to take care of Vina.

“Then I excuse you!” pamit Doctor earlier.

“Thank you, Doc!” nodding the Bagas politely.

Bagas drew closer to the glass of Vina's nurse's room. “I beg you to open your eyes!” please Bagas with a sad look.

“After that, you are conscious and do not remember anything. You experience total amnesia, to the point that you forget your own identity,” Bagas concluded.

Vina who heard the story of Bagas was only able to stay still and digest little by little Bagas sentence.

“J-so the point is Mas Bagas cares for me because of that promise?” asked Vina with a slight sense of linu in the heart.

Bagas grasped Vina's hand gently. “Sorry!” sesal Bagas's.

Vina pulled out her hand which was held by Bagas. Then, fix the sling bag before moving away from the Bagas house.

“Vin! Vina!” call Bagas by reaching for Vina's arm.

“Let Go! I need time to myself!” said Vina slowly clearly and looks inviolable.

Slowly Bagas let go of his grasp and let Vina leave his house with a new wound in his heart.

Unwittingly with Bagas and Vina, Rena sees all that. At least Rena knows, if they're fighting. And Rena can guess if the culprit of the problem is about her.

“Kasian you Bagas, I'm confused now. Do I have to help you come back and have a good relationship with Vina? Or do I keep letting you have this marriage relationship with Rena while you're playing with another woman?”
