There's Love On Campus

Fatal Error

That afternoon, Lidya arrived in the city of Semarang. Now, he was no longer as moody as he had first set foot in the city. No longer like before, every time he returned he would daydream as he walked from the bus stop to his boarding house.

After about a month he enjoyed a semester off, it was time for Lidya to return to pursue her dream. The cloud covered that afternoon. He walked with enthusiasm to get to his boarding house soon.

"Lidya....."

The voice of a stranger in Lidya's ears. He looked for where the voice came from. Lidya turned to the right and left, not a single person calling out to her.

"Hey...Lidya."

The voice grew louder and Lidya was still looking for him. Before long, he saw someone running across the highway without noticing a car speeding by.

Deeeeers......

"Mas Adi" cried Lidya.

Lidya then walked over to Adi who was lying on the highway. One by one people came, Lidya ran immediately. How shocked Lidya saw Adi was covered in blood.

"Excuse me, please this is my friend," said Lidya broke through the crowd of people who had been huddled, as if watching a show.

"Awas moving aside, love the way...The mama's going through."

"Sir, we have to take it to the hospital" said one of the people in the crowd.

"Sir, please.please help me," pinta Lidya.

Lidya could not say anything. He could not hold back his tears. Lidya approached Adi and continued to bear the name Adi.

"Mas...Mas Adi, hear me? Please hold on...."

Before long, the ambulance and the police arrived. Adi is taken into an ambulance and Lidya accompanies Adi. Adi has installed several tools, Lidya just stared at the face of Adi who was still unconscious.

Arriving at the RS, Adi was immediately taken to the IGD room. Lidya paced back and forth, walking here and there. He was confused about what to do.

"Sorry Ma'am, are you a victim's friend?" ask the police to Lidya.

"He's right, sir" said Lidya.

"Your friends are hit-and-run victims, I can take a minute to ask you a few questions."

"Sorry before sir, can we contact his family first?"

"Her parents we've already called, they'll be here soon."

Lidya was in a panic when the police asked her a few questions.

His feelings are mixed, between fear of something happening with Adi and worry about wrongly answering police questions because Lidya was a witness to the accident.

Lidya tries to calm down, she also thinks of what to say to Adi's parents later. After answering a few questions from the police, he sat down and pondered.

"Lidya," call Mama Lia.

"Tante, Lidya apologizes.." said Lidya softly with tears that had soaked her cheeks.

"Where is it?" ask mama Lia.

"Still in Auntie" said Lidya.

Lidya's eyes were fixed on Papa Chandra who was talking to the police. There was a sad and angry face, this was very visible in Lidya's eyes. He tried to understand how Adi's parents felt. Had it happened to him, his mother would have been very sad and worried.

Lidya was surprised to hear a question from her father Adi. He didn't think Papa Chandra would ask that.

"Adi's family?" ask the nurse who just came out of the IGD room.

Lidya seemed relieved, at least he still had time to think about how to explain to his father Adi.

"Do your best for my son Doc" said Mama Lia.

Mama Lia hugged her husband, a look of sadness on her face. Papa Chandra is trying to strengthen his wife.

"Ma, Adi's definitely cured. We pray that the operation is smooth."

"Pa, Mama's afraid of losing Adi. Mama knows what it's like to lose. Mama can't afford Pa."

Hearing that, Lidya just bowed. Lidya was confused as to what to do. He was crying, his hands were trembling. His body began to limp, his mind drifting imagining something happening to Adi.

Mama Lia saw Lidya, then came to her.

"Tante, I'm sorry. I didn't know it was going to be like this" Lidya said in tears as Lia's mother hugged her.

"No need to feel guilty, maybe this is God's will. Sorry, Om scared you. Pray that Adi is okay. The police have explained the chronology of the incident, Adi may be too happy to see you to not pay attention to the road" said papa Chandra.

"Lidya, Auntie lost her brother Adi. Aunty knows very well what it feels like to lose a child, Auntie does not want to lose Adi. Adi's our only son."

Lidya could not bear to hear Mama Lia tell her son who had died. What would happen to him if he lost Adi.

"We pray Aunty, mas Adi will be healed." Lidya tried to comfort Mama Lia.

"Lidya, the doctor said that if this operation is successful, most likely Adi will lose partial memory. Aunty sure, only you will be remembered by Adi. Adi loves you very much. Lidya, can Auntie ask for help? Please help Adi to heal, Aunt won't lose Adi."

"What should Lidya do Auntie?" ask Lidya confused.

"Please accompany Adi until he recovers. Tanta's sorry if Aunt's request is too much. Aunty please Lidya can understand how Auntie feels at this time," said Mama Lia pleading with Lidya.

Lidya was more and more confused as to what to do. Mama Lia's request was very surprising. He himself actually does not understand what mama Lia means to accompany Adi until healed.

"Lidya, Adi loves you so much. Don't you have a little feeling for Adi?" ask mama Lia.

Lidya fell silent again, she could not answer Mama Lia's question. That question was very difficult for Lidya to answer. If he says no, Lidya is afraid to offend Mama Lia. But he also cannot say yes. His feelings are still on Frans.

Although for one month he did not meet, in the end both of them were equally busy with their respective affairs. They can't even communicate at all. Lidya didn't know what to say.

"Tante, I'm sorry.for now I only consider Adi mas as a friend and nothing more. I know, how Mas Adi feels to me."

"Lidya, Auntie doesn't force you to love Adi. Aunty just pleaded, Lidya please accompany Adi until healed. Aunt please...."

"Tante, please don't be like this."

"Are you ready for Lidya?"

Lidya could not bear to see Lia's mother pleading with her. He then thought, there is nothing to help. No one knows what will happen to Adi.

"Alright Aunt, I will accompany Adi until she recovers."

I don't know what Lidya said to Mama Lia. Mama Lia smiled, she was very sure that Lidya was the right person to help Adi's recovery.

"Thank you, Lidya. Auntie's happy to hear that."
