The Sun Becomes a Star
Aaron
“May, Your grandmother was good too her person ..” Aaron said when we were on our way home. About half the way from Grandma's house to the city of Malang. Like earlier, Aaron also did not advance his bike fast enough. Letting dozens of –ty vehicles precede us both. But so, we can both enjoy nature, see the corn lading spread as far as the eye can see, the train that sometimes – sometimes passes and the clear river where children – small children play.
“Iya .. Grandma is good. You've managed to get his heart Aaron,”
“I hope it is. May, you don't mind if we take a quick rest ?”
“Absolutely not,” Aaron pulled his bike over.
“You're okay – what ?”
“After a short break, surely I will be well back,” he tried to smile, just so I calm down. But a moment later I saw his body start to shake, his face pale and his sweat falling down.
It seems like she wants to spit something out of her stomach and I'm sure it's not food poisoning from Grandma's house.
“Say you're okay – what Aaron,” I asked him. But things don't seem to be getting better. His body is getting shaky. He held his stomach as if holding something inside.
“I have to call Kevin,” I said while reaching for my HP.
“Don't May,” she held my hand.
“You are not good at all – is good Aaron,” I insist want to call Kevin.
“Please don't May,”
“Then what ? I'll let you die in this place ?” I started crying. My original walking days were beautiful and perfect turned around for a moment.
“Wait a minute. A few more moments. This state will pass ?”
“What do you mean ?”
“Wait just !” he said and wriggled – writhing in pain. Several vehicles passed. But none of them noticed us. They must have thought we were just two teenagers dating on the side of the road. I'm not the kind of girl who likes to wait.
“You need Aaron's help. If you don't let me call Kevin, let me take you to the hospital,” I insist.
“Don't May,” I don't want to hear the word – said. He won't be able to do what – is with his current state. I embrace his body that is ten centimeters higher than my body. I stood up and I headed to the motorcycle.
“What do you want to do May?” his face was pale and dark circles were visible around his eyes. I'll take him to the hospital, the nearest hospital. If he doesn't want me to call Kevin, at least I have to help him.he can't turn me down this time,
“Hold my waist strong – strong Aaron,” he already has no energy. It seems like he's exhausted very much. Tired right – really tired. Until his own hands are not able to. I didn't mind the drool dripping on my shoulder. All I thought about was helping Aaron. I ride on a motorcycle. I took off my jacket and jacket. I made a knot and made it look like a long rope.I'm not sure she could hold on to me if I screw up later. So I had to find a restrainer so he wouldn't fall.
I tied Aaron's body around my waist with our jacket. As much as I can get Aaron's bike. Heavy and difficult indeed, because it is a motorcycle guy. Coupled with Aaron's weight on my back, none of this is getting any younger. But I'm quite experienced with Papa's bike. Aaron's still on my back. For a moment – I saw him from the rearview mirror, making sure he was still alive.
Oh, my God, I'm still dating for a while. She's my first boyfriend, I don't want her to die soon.
It feels like time is passing very slowly. Every moment my eyes see if there's a hospital or clinic. But none of it caught my eye. And all I could think of at that time was as soon as possible to arrive in Malang. Many times – times I almost fell to hold the weight of Aaron's body that went there to – let's. Thank goodness I got to Malang safely. I'll go to the hospital immediately. Unfortunately, being stuck makes this trip not easy. Many times – times I had to hit the horn, yelling – yells so people move aside and make me look like crazy. But all that doesn't mean. Aaron has to go to the hospital. Point.
And I was there, sitting next to Aaron's bed. He was still sleeping, gathering energy. I won't let him wake up unless it's time for him to wake up. I looked at his face past –. His face was resolutely shaped with thick eyebrows. His skin is tight and clean. And I was right – realized that this person, who was lying helpless in this bed was my man, my love. I started crying. The cry that had been held back because I had to react quickly. I cry because I am angry too. Realizing how selfish he was not thinking of me. How selfish of him to let me have a healthy body and to destroy himself, his body will no longer be strong. How selfish of her to leave me so soon, when she had given me such a beautiful color in my life. I cried, sniffled – sedu. I want to hit him in the head, I want to slap him in the face, so he can understand how angry I am.
I felt his hand rub my head, he was already dumb from his good time, making his face look fresher than before.
“You can call Kevin May,” she said slow. I nodded and I called Kevin. Then I rubbed my wet eyes. I looked back at him with mixed feelings. Between anger and love.
“I'm sorry,” he said. “I know I'm selfish May,”
“And you will continue to selfish Aaron ?” he just shut up. “Even I have no meaning for you to fight life ?” he's still quiet. “If indeed I am useless to you Aaron, I better go,”
“Don't May. Don't give up on me now,” he's taking a breath. Her eyes glazed – glass. “you've given me a reason to try May,”
“Usaha what are you doing ? Scaring me all alone by the roadside ?”
“I'm sorry. You know khan May, don't come home to escape. I have to do it gradually..”.
“Staged nonsense Aaron,”
“Not May's bullshit. I've been trying,”
“Then what did I see earlier ?”
“May, understand. What you saw was my body's attempt to get rid of all the poison that was inside me. You think everything went so easily ? I just go to the doctor and it'll all be over ? not at all. I said really – really to you May. I'm always trying, trying for you,”
I looked at his face. He held my hand.
“Aaron, promise me to keep trying. Promise the nail to no longer think of yourself ..”
“I promise May. I know you're not a quitter. Your hard and complicated life has embarrassed me. That's why I want to be strong like you. Don't give up on me Sun ..”
Our hands are still holding. Kevin's brother is coming.
