"If you laugh a lot, you're crying!"
I don't know why Luna even remembered the words of her friend during elementary school. Did he laugh too much? Is she going to cry after this?
Luna felt her body move, she could hear sounds but all she saw was dark.

"Quick El, the ambulance is coming soon." En gave way to El who carried Luna up the elevator.
El thought nothing more, he ran as fast as he could with Luna in his hand. En had tied her long dress up to her thighs so as not to disturb her from moving, and came running beside El. While Reza, help break up the crowd that gets in the way. Some other employees also help them provide a way.
Hearing the commotion, the reporters crowded around, trying to take pictures. The short-lived situation was finally restrained after An and Papi intervened.
When he arrived at the loby, En could hear the sound of sirens getting closer. He ran ahead of El out of a large glass door that automatically opened.
En waved his hand giving the code for the ambulance to stop right where it stood. There was a loud scream until the white car stopped perfectly. Two well-dressed officers pulled down the wheeled bed from the car just as El exited the door.
El laid Luna on the bed. Sweat had already flooded his temples and back. The officers immediately took Luna into the car.
"El, you get in the ambulance! Brother get in the car! Call brother later!" En spoke quickly with a breath of breath. El nodded and immediately jumped up into the car that had rang the siren back.
In the ambulance, one of the officers asked Luna about her condition. "What's going on, sir?"
"I don't know, we were all eating. Then all of a sudden he said tightness and fainting."
Another officer nodded, he put a breathing apparatus into Luna's face and checked her pulse.
"What was the patient sick before?"
El shook his head, "no."
"Did he have any health complaints? Does he have a congenital disease?"
El shook his head strongly. "No, I don't know!"
El pulled her own hair while growling in frustration. He regretted his b*doh self for never asking such things to Luna.
"Mr help him..." El spoke weakly while looking at Luna. It felt like a dream because a few minutes ago he and Luna had just had a conversation together. If he finds out like this he won't take Luna! If he finds out like this, he won't force Luna! If he knew this, he wouldn't ask to meet! If only time could be turned back.
A few minutes in the ambulance drove El almost mad. He could only silently look at the motionless Luna before him. If only he could change things with Luna he would be happy to do so. Whatever he will do as long as Luna's circumstances are not as they are now.
Eventually the ambulance stopped, they had reached the hospital. El got out of the car, followed the officer to the emergency room before he was not allowed in.
El stood waiting while staring at the room in front of him. It's very bad. His clothes were shapeless and his hair was a mess because he had been constantly shuffling it.
El heard the call coming in. Brother En.
📞 El where are you?
📞 Already in hospital, sis.
📞 Brother same Reza bertar again until. You sit quietly now.
📞 Yes.
El sat down on a nearby chair. He looked down, propping up his head that felt heavy. His mind has drifted somewhere.
Ten minutes later En and Reza arrive at El's place. En could not bear to see the situation of his sister who was not careless.
His sister really loves that cute kid.
He sat next to El.
"Sister..." El looked at him with reddened eyes and a soft voice.
"Patience, El..." He patted her on the shoulder, trying to calm her down. "He must be okay. You pray, yes."
After thirty minutes of waiting in uncertainty, the doctor finally revealed himself.
El ran to him. "How's doctor?"
The doctor smiled for a moment. "It's okay. He's already fine. But he's not up yet.
"Can I see it now?" El can't wait to be with Luna.
"Why should he be treated, doctor? Painful?" En asked representing his sister's concerns.
"It just seems like she ate something that made her allergic. Do you know what that is?"
En and El shook their heads together.
"If it can be found out and avoided so as not to happen again." The doctor was silent for a moment. "Then..."
"Then what doc? Any other diseases?"
"Actually not a disease, but it seems that lately his weight has dropped dramatically. Is he stressed? Or maybe a diet?"
El did not answer the doctor's question, he cursed himself who was insensitive to the state of Luna.
"Well... So I think it might be better to take care of it until tomorrow." El nodded. "If possible, after discharge from the hospital, maintained a nutritious diet and reduce stress."
"Thank you doctor." En breathed a sigh of relief. Next he contacted mami, papi and brother An.
The next minute, El, En and Reza were already in the VIP classroom inpatient room. El was busy staring at Luna from the chair next to Luna's bed. He clasped Luna's hand that wasn't pierced by a needle, then stroked her slowly.
En stroked El's shoulders. "El, do you need anything? Mami, papi and An's brother are coming to see."
El shook his head, he simply stuck Luna's hand he held onto his cheek. Close your eyes and try to feel the softness from there.
"Yes already, brother went home first huh. Tomorrow, brother is here again. You also rest." En stroked El's head. "Reza, tuck El until the others come. You can go home after that.
Reza nodded. "Yes Mom..."
Reza approached El who was still lamenting Luna before him. Still wondering if to tell El or not. Just as he was about to open his mouth, El's phone rang. Jessika's.
📞 Hello, sorry I interrupted om.
📞 Yes.
📞 Lunanya there is om? Can I talk to you for a second?
📞 Sorry Jessika. Luna is being treated in hospital.
📞 WHAT?! WHERE IS?! WHYYY?! What is my friend??
📞 I send you the address.
El disconnects the phone and sends a message.
After seeing El somewhat calm down, Reza finally ventured to open her voice.
"Sir..."
El looked at Reza. "Why?"
Reza hesitated for a moment. "Actually I don't know if I should say this or not, but my sister often told me about Luna..."
"Tell me..."
"So...."
Reza told Luna all the things that happened to her during her school days, how she was at home and what the day Luna had been doing lately.
He heard it from Reina. She had no intention of eavesdropping, but she was intrigued when she heard her sisters talking about Luna, leaving her eventually caught up in the chat as well.
As Reza ended his story, El looked at him closely. "Thank you for telling me. Also, say thank you to your sister who has accompanied Luna."
"Yes, Sir. You welcome. My sister is also happy to be friends with Luna. He's a good and loyal son, buddy."
El smiled at a glance. He was like that.
Eventually the El family came, and Reza resigned. Mami, papi and brother An are grateful after knowing that Luna is fine. Mami offers to accompany El, but she rejects him and tells them to just go home.
Before long, El was surprised by the loud noise from the direction of the door. Jessika came with Tyo behind her.
Jessika approaches El, she keeps El away from Luna. Then looked at the person in front of him with a sharp gaze full of anger. "Om what other friend of mine??"
