”Don't be jealous! It's not me that Princess Alingga likes, but you,” said Lorr En.
”What do you talk about?” reply Taja, tickling the stomach of Lorr En until overwhelmed, even almost forgot that he was sick. Lorr En let out an amused groan, but Taja continued to tickle him mercilessly. Purwa looked at them, the small smile on his lips was nothing, but he was actually thinking of someone else who made Taja and Lorr En act like that, Princess Alingga.
Some time they joked, the atmosphere again fussed about the new patients brought in. The nurses carried them and laid them on the bed. Apparently, there were about a dozen patients in uniform at the Tanapura Soldier Candidate Military School who were brought into the treatment room.
For some time, Taja, Lorr En and Purwa caught their attention. One of the fainting patients was laid to rest in a bed next to Lorr En.
”Purwa!” Taja was surprised to see the student who was unconscious and a lot of bruises on his body lying limp in the bed was one of the white deer team students and he also knew the child well. Some nurses acted quickly.
”What happened to him?” Taja asked one of the nurses who happened to pass by, but due to the busy and panic situation, the nurse ignored him.
Taja pecked near Purwa lying. The Purwa next to him was also silent, while Lorr En almost got out of his bed in order to get a closer look at Purwa's situation, but another nurse prevented him.
Not long after, three herds from the white deer team came to the place. They are Sayutha, Rimpati and Rambiloto. Half ran over to Purwa's bed.
”This is you the cause!” suddenly for no apparent reason, Sayutha immediately accused Taja.
”Why me?” Taja was astonished to see Sayutha looked very upset.
Rambiloto quickly tried to quell Sayutha's anger. Of the three friends who were grumbling, it was Sayutha who looked the most angry.
”What's up?” Lorr En from the bed asked.
”Just be quiet in your place, Lorr En!” timpal rather rimpati bluffing.
”What's up?” Purwa blocks Sayutha from approaching Taja.
”Do not hide women!” but Sayutha triggers Taja to act decisively, ”What's the matter?" this time he pulled back Purwa's arm to move sideways.
”I'm here! What happened until you got mad at me?”
I do not understand the meaning of Sayutha.
”You guys calm down first!” Rambiloto tried to cool the atmosphere. This time he spoke up.
”Where are you today, Taja? Why not join the Interactive Tanding Exercise today. Their dislike of you is bad for the Kancil team? 12 Students from the black, red, and white team were battered. Actually they want you, but apparently you're not there. Finally ... they vented their frustration at the 12 students of the team including Purwa. You see for yourself, the wound was that severe, it must have taken at least two weeks in this room. Can you feel the pain?”
”Truly I do not know if there is a Tanding Training day, if I know, it is impossible for me to skip,” Taja reveals the honest reason even though the three friends do not care.
”Whatever it is, due to your fame has spread throughout Tanapura to be a disaster for us, we should not bear this!”
”What is this?” two senior nurses came towards them arguing.
”You know this is where the patients get sick? If not dealing is important, you better go!” The oldest nurse expels Rambiloto, Sayutha and Rimpati.
”And him?” Sayutha pointed her index finger at Taja.
”He kept his friend for these three days and we allowed him because we happened to be short of people within this week,” the nurse replied.
”So, leave this place immediately, you can come at the time of the next big hour, but do not make a rowdy!” get nurses.
Rambiloto and Rimpati could not talk much anymore, they immediately lifted their feet from the medicine ward and did not forget to pull Sayutha who was still arrogant, he had time to throw a sentence, he threw a sentence, ”Tomorrow there is an Interactive Tanding Exercise the second day, all senior Tanapura disciples will also be present there. If you don't come, then you'll make our fate like Purwa!”
The three faces of the Kancil Classmate disappeared after behind the exit. Towards that pair of large and tall doors, Taja's gaze was fixed before turning to Purwa again.
”Sorry if this is all because of me,” he said softly at Purwa still unconscious. Rambiloto rubbed Taja's shoulder, ”It's not entirely your fault, but those who made Purwa up to this.”
However encouraging Purwa is, Taja's guilt has not diminished enough. Lorr En hinted at nothing but confusion. Taja looked towards Purwa silent, full of bruises on his body.
