There's Love On Campus

The Lidya POV

That afternoon, I got a call from Adi. He asked me how I was doing. I told him I was on my way to Semarang. I know he's very happy to hear that. He immediately hung up the phone, not long to send me a message. But I didn't get to read her message. My phone suddenly died, because the battery ran out.

About thirty minutes later, I started to sleep. I leaned my head and started to fall asleep. Before long someone woke me up, because it had reached my destination. I rushed off the bus. To be honest I'm still very sleepy, I want to get to the cost soon.

When traveling to the boarding house, I remembered that I had not lived in my boarding house for a long time. It must be dirty and damp. I'm so upset, when I'm tired and sleepy like this I still have to clean the cost first.

I walked while thinking about the uncomfortable atmosphere of the boarding house. I carry a bag in

my back, then carrying some of the food that my mother prepared for me. I also carry a laptop bag on my shoulder. You can imagine how complicated it was at that time.

I walked with focus and concentration, because the highway was quite crowded. As I crossed the street, it faintly sounded the sound of someone calling out to me.

"Lidya..."

I kept walking, several times the voice called out to me. I recognized his voice, but I kept walking while looking to the right and to the left. I searched where the voice came from, it must be Adi's voice. I had my doubts, because I didn't see his black sports car.

"Lidya..."

The voice sounded louder, I turned my head and I saw Mas Adi running. Mas Adi crossed without looking from the opposite direction, there was a sedan car traveling at high speed. My mind was already floating, I closed my eyes. That voice sounded very loud.

Deeers...

When I opened my eyes, how surprised I was. Many people were already in groups and the crowd was like forming a circle.

"Mas Adi" I shouted.

I quickened my pace, someone helped me cross that road. I immediately ran towards the crowd.

"Excuse me, please this is my friend," I said, breaking through the crowd of people who had gathered, 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," I asked them.

I saw clearly, Mas Adi was already lying on the highway. His head was covered in blood, he was unconscious. I've been terrified. I was crying, I was confused, I didn't know what to do.

My mind suddenly floated, I remembered when Mas Adi sang a love song in front of my boarding house. I know how he feels about me. It was the last time he expressed his love for me. I don't know why, I'm so sad and scared to lose it. I thought that Mas Adi had died with his condition very alarming.

Before long, the ambulance and the police arrived. Mas Adi was taken into the ambulance by the medical team, I didn't think long. I immediately entered to accompany Mas Adi. Some police officers are likely to ask for information about the accident. I'm getting scared, what if I become a witness and I'm getting scared if something happens to Mas Adi.

"The conditions are critical" said one nurse, installing some tools.

Hearing the nurse say that, and the sound of the ambulance siren sounding loud scared me even more. I also imagined that her parents would blame me. They will definitely say that I was the cause of this accident.

I pray in my heart that everything will be fine. I looked at the face of Mas Adi who looked like he was holding back pain.

"Mas, you must be strong yes." I said softly without conviction. I was hesitant to see his condition at the time.

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

"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."

I was so panicked when the police asked me a few questions. However, I was a little relieved because the police said that Adi mas victim hit and run. At least the police didn't accuse me of being the suspect in Adi's accident.

Even so, my feelings are mixed. I'm afraid something happened to Adi. I was also worried that I would answer the police question wrongly. I'm here to witness the accident.

After answering a few questions, I sat down on the bench. I can only wait for a miracle from God. Miracles will happen, I really hope that Adi will be healed.

"Lidya," call aunt Lia.

"Tante, Lidya apologizes.." I said softly with tears that had drenched my cheeks.

"Where is it?" ask mama Lia.

"Still inside Auntie" I said, pointing to the IGD's room.

My eyes were on Chandra who was talking to the police. There was a sad face and anger. I understand how these two parents feel. Had it happened to me, my mother would have been very sad and worried.

A few minutes later, the door to the IGD room opened, a nurse came out looking for Adi's family.

"Adi's family?" asked one of the nurses and before long a doctor spoke to the parents of Mas Adi.

Before talking to the doctor, Chandra asked me why this accident could happen. I just fell silent then I looked from afar, like they were talking seriously. I saw Aunt Lia crying. My heart is getting sadder, Mas Adi is their only child. I can't say if something bad happened.

After speaking to the doctor, Aunt Lia said something to me. I was surprised to hear it, it turns out that Aunt Lia had lost her brother mas Adi.

"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?" many confused.

"Please accompany Adi until he recovers. Tanta's sorry if Aunt's request is too much. Aunt Lidya please can understand how Auntie is feeling right now," said aunt Lia pleading with me.

I can't bear to see Aunt Lia pleading with me. I thought, There is nothing to help. No one knows what will happen to Adi.

"Alright Aunt, Lidya will accompany mas Adi until healed."

I don't know what I just said. What if mas Adi really lost his memory, how long he will recover. I forgot my promise, I promised to wait until graduation.
