Adek I'm BAD
8. Overdose

One month passed ....

Today is Rio's sixth day in Bandung. As long as the man left, Devan was always accompanying Rio's sister. The young man also did not hesitate to skip college just for the sake of Zahra. Not really Devan, he who is the class leader even truant. Give an example that is not commendable to other students.

Devan Ghiffar Ramadhani, the young man who brings Zahra home every day in similar circumstances. If asked, was Zahra a heavy drunk? Of course it wasn't. The stress experienced by Zahra at this time, able to make him drink more alcohol than usual. Vodka and Wine, the girl likes both.

Three bottles a day? How much alcohol is in each bottle? What are the effects caused when drinking it in the long term, with a portion that is not small? I don't know, Zahra sure loved that drink. Drinks that have been a part of his life.

During Rio's time away, Zahra never misses going to clubs and is always absent during campus hours. His best friend was busy with each other's lectures, perhaps only occasionally visiting Zahra. Bi Heni and Devan were always watching him. Tria's? It was back in New York a week ago, just before Rio left.

It was only a day that Rio left Zahra, his nightmare was back. Why is it that every man is far away, that dream has to come back? Why should her dream contain such torture? Does he deserve to dream well? Why should it always be that dream?

By venting everything on alcohol, Zahra will slowly forget her dream. However, when he is in his subconscious, all of that will come back. It was usually Rio who was calming, but this time?

Both are currently in the mall. Tired of being home, Devan takes Zahra for a walk. They sat together in one of the seats. The girl's hand was holding a large ice cream, next to her Devan was fiddling with HP.

"Van, want another dong." Zahra showed me the rest of her cone.

"Bangetan lo, it's ice cream ten thousand, not even up to three minutes has run out. You eat, what do you throw away?" oceh Devan, the man was astonished by the jumbo ice cream that ran out in a matter of minutes.

"Yes eat dong, yakali I throw away. Ice Cream is this good time wasted?"

"Eating ice cream a lot is not good, ntar lo porous teeth."

"Bodo is, Van. My teeth are too."

Long they were silent, Devan lazy if serving debate girl next to him. He turned his head when his warm hand was grasped by the cold hand that was now holding it.

"Why?" ask Devan.

"Sister Rio when is back, huh? He only had four days, but it's been a week he hasn't been back." The girl turned her head, finding Devan's warm gaze. The man next to him smiled.

"Maybe there is a problem with the project in Bandung, pray that he will come home with nothing less. Bang Rio ga ngabarin lo?"

The girl nodded and then looked down. "The first three days of Kak Rio's routine video call, stepping on the fourth day to this day he's not ngabarin anything. Even though I was waiting for a chat with the phone from him," said Zahra with an unreadable look, the anxiety he experienced made him unconscious if he had squeezed Devan's hand so hard.

Devan just smiled, despite being female, Zahra's squeeze was so strong for a girl his age. "Again kangen what's worried, huh?" guess Devan, the man tried to keep Zahra from showing his sad look.

"Eitherway. Come to think of it, I'm totally dependent on him. He's everything, my only foothold.  Delicious so lo, can still enjoy the affection of parents. I just can't enjoy my childhood because of the inner pressure, having to see something that a child shouldn't see. My childhood provides yes, Van?" The girl turned to face Devan, her manik glazed over. 

Devan took the girl to his arms and rubbed her head. The girl sobbed a little in Devan's arms, the young man letting Zahra sob. By expressing the harbored emotion, afterwards there must be some relief. Come to think of it his life is miserable, a lonely heart and thirst for affection.

"If the past only makes you sad, you don't have to wait," Devan said.

Zahra. "Last time it has become a part of my life, no matter how I forget, he will remain attached. Because of that, I became a gini. I am now, the fruit of the past."

"There are always lessons to be learned from the past, Ra. You are all grown up and understand everything. If you feel the same saturated life lived, try to do new things. If you like it, you'll forget it a little."

"Thank you for me always. He who I wish was there at the time of kayak gini, even look at the trunk."

Devan smiled thinly. "Yes, you're welcome."

Shortly after Devan's phone rang, a sign of a phone coming in. The man picked up the phone without letting go. Devan put HP back in his pocket, the young man told him that he could not accompany Zahra any longer.

Arga Dewanto, Papa Devan wants to meet to discuss company issues and introduce Devan to his business colleagues.

"Let's go home, when I leave you here?" bring Devan.

"Ga papa, really. Go ahead, I can take a taxi."

Devan sighed. "Later to go home, if you've reached the phone."

The girl nodded and smiled. "Ready, captain."

Devan chuckles and shakes Zahra's hair. "Gue goes, be careful of his return" Devan said, after which the man moved away from Zahra.

Now that Zahra is sitting alone playing her phone, the girl occasionally sips the UHT she holds.

Zahra felt that someone had been watching her since then, but somehow that feeling had only appeared now. Slowly but surely, Zahra turned to the long chair on her right, a little far away—there showed a middle-aged woman smiling sweetly at him. Zahra's face paled instantly.

"Ga may," said Zahra. Slowly the woman walked towards Zahra sitting down, spontaneously the girl stood facing the middle-aged woman.

"No, it's impossible. Mami's calm, you must be, Ra. You must be halu!" zahra said to herself. Convince himself that what he sees does not correspond to what he thinks.

The woman was getting closer to him. "Mommy is calm, you are calm. Mommy can't be here." Zahra closed her eyes and recited some prayers and a verse of the chair to exorcise the spirit.

After a few seconds Zahra opened her eyes again, she found the woman leaving, the girl rubbed her chest in relief. "It turned out to be a hallucination" he smiled.

Not long after, someone patted Zahra on the shoulder, and then turned to the side. The relieved face returned.

"Hallo," said the middle-aged man with a sweet smile.

"Ma-mammii, don't come any closer! Za-zahra promises to ba-balasin de-endendam, Ma-mami. Ja-so, ma-mami bi-can be quiet in a-alam sa-sana.  I'm sorry, Za-zahra wants a break. Se-now mami back and forth to the mami realm, may mami be calm. No more kayaking, Za-zahra was afraid. Assalamualaikum," he said. The girl stepped back with trembling legs. After saying goodbye, he immediately ran away leaving the middle-aged fixated.

If you say no one is watching them, the answer is wrong. Because they are currently in the mall, of course, many are paying attention, especially when understanding the strange Zahra gelagat.

"If you're really a aunt's niece, then Zas-sskia is dead?" The woman stepped on the chair Zahra had occupied earlier, a tear from the source.

"So my niece is Zahra, I don't know if it's my pussy or not. But my heart says if he's the one" his monologue to himself.

"O Allah, reunite the family of the servant before it is too late." The middle-aged man prayed in his heart, his hand moving to wipe away the drop of tears at the end of his eyes. After which she stood up, passing by her son and husband who had been waiting at the restaurant.

After exiting the mall, Zahra ordered a taxi online. He sat in one of the waiting chairs, his eyes glaring blankly. A drop of two drops fell down his cheek. "Is that right, mom? It was like having a bond, but what bond was it? If it's a mommy, hold Zahra's promise, Mi. Zahra will pay for everything." The girl took a deep breath, braced herself while wiping away the tears that never stopped.

The sound of the horn surprised him, the taxi he ordered had arrived. He entered the taxi with his face down, trying to hold back the tears that wanted to show themselves again.

"Apart Angkasa Jaya, sir."

The driver nodded, then handed Zahra a box of tissue. "Thank you" he said with a smile. The taxi started to leave the mall.

After paying the taxi fare, Zahra entered the basement apartment. His feet carried away to the fourth floor of room 30. I don't know, what made him want to come here? Who knows, his girlfriend who usually sends messages, but never reciprocated it can tilt his mind.

Zahra knocked on the door in front of him with annoyance, already five times he knocked, but the occupants inside seemed deaf. Finally he entered the code of the apartment he knew, he thought it would be more polite to knock on the door first. In fact, the door did not open.

Once inside, the girl frowned. The bag her boyfriend used to wear in college fell under the table. The grousy-grusuk sound was heard from the kitchen, Zahra then searched for the source of the sound.

"Darling, again dong ..." whining a young man.

"Later on, I'm tired, nih," replied a girl in a soft voice.

"Come ....."

"Eat first, yuk. I'm so hungry. Promise to eat."

Zahra's eyes warmed up when she saw her lover matching her with another girl. An ex-boyfriend, but Zahra used to call him an ex-jablay.

Immediately Zahra moved away from the kitchen, she returned to the living room. His heart certainly hurts, people who are fought even betray him. When everyone was against her relationship, Zahra vehemently rejected everything. He assures her that her lover deserves to be with her, but this is what he gets. Disillusioned.

"Damn it! Si A*j*ng again practice, same ex jablay again play," he sisnya slowly. Zahra opened the door and closed it quietly so that her presence was not realized. "Main here is not useful, instead of cold even more hot," he murmured after coming out of the apartment.

The girl again ordered a taxi, the car drove to the only place that could cool her mind.

...****...

A young man was working on a task on his favorite laptop, while occasionally flipping through thick books to find references. His phone that was on the pillow suddenly rang. His favorite girl's name is there.

Devan immediately raised the call.

"Hello."

" .... "

"What's? Send the location, I'm there now!"

Devan turns off the phone, then tidies up his books and laptop. He took his jacket and pants behind the door.

"You go get Zahra, Ma" Devan replied.

"Get Zahra? It's almost nine o'clock, where are you taking people's children?"

"He fainted at the bar, Ma. The bartender called me."

"What's? Didn't you take her home?"

"Sorry, Ma. Van was in a hurry. Actually Van also nawarin he went home together, but he did not want to. Yeah, Van's leaving first."

"Be careful" Mila said as her son kissed her hand.

Devan slid into the bar where Zahra had fainted, the man circulating his gaze. A girl was lying on one of the sofas of a famous bar, next to which was a man playing his cell phone.

The phone on the table rang, the man took a quick glance and then answered his phone.

" .... "

The man frowned for a moment. "Left lo, middle sofa."

After finding Zahra's position, Devan immediately approached her. The young man found out Zahra's condition through the bartender who was guarding him.

"So he was vomiting, had shortness of breath too. His skin is very pale. Mending you take him to the doctor."

Devan nodded and immediately carried Zahra. "Thanks." -."

...****...

Devan sat on the IGD with anxiety, for about an hour he had set his butt in the waiting chair. The door opened, featuring a middle-aged man in a white suit. Devan stood up instantly.

"With Miss Zahra's family?"

Devan approached the doctor. "I'm a friend of his, Doc. How's he doing?"

"The condition of the patient is very bad, we have to neutralize the alcohol that is in his body many times. Her pulse was weak, her chest cavity was constricted." The doctor took a breath. "Alcohol has taken over his nerves a lot. Sorry, is he an addict?" ask the doctor at the end.

"No, he's not an addict. If you can tell how much alcohol you have consumed? And, can it get any worse?"

The doctor nodded slowly. "Did he have a problem? The level of alcohol that has been consumed has reached 70%, even though the limit of alcohol that can be consumed is only 50-55%, it is also the maximum limit. If alcohol is consumed along with sedatives, the risk is great. The patient may be in a coma."

"I don't know very well what he's facing right now, I've never seen him like this. Is she gonna be okay, Doc?"

"Yes, he'll be fine. We'll move him to the ward, he'll still have to undergo treatment."

"Alright, Doc. Give her the best treatment."

...****...

The night was late, the sound of the night animals muttering to each other. Lamborghini Aventador enters the mansion grounds.

The man in an office suit got out of the car, he looked at his house with a smile. Finally he was able to stare back at the mansion after almost a week in Bandung.

All he wanted right now was to hold his sister while sleeping. Eliminate fatigue due to work that drains energy and emotions. After cleaning himself, he knocked on the door of his sister's room. Usually at ten her sister was still awake.

After a few minutes of no response, he ventured to turn the knob. It's locked! Arising an uneasy feeling in his chest, Rio hurriedly took the spare key. He was shocked when he opened the room. Dirty, stuff strewn everywhere. His sister is not in the room.

With anxiety that had taken hold of his mind, Rio rushed to aunt's house.

Bi Heni let Rio in. Before replying, the aunt first gave Rio a glass of warm tea, the man sipped it to the toilet.

Aunty who had understood the intention of Rio's arrival at night immediately replied without question.

"Your sister hasn't come home since yesterday, she's staying at Devan's house. Try calling, maybe Zahra's staying again." Auntie paused for a moment and looked at Rio. "Your sister went wild again, she used to come home the other night. She always locked the room until aunt couldn't clean it. It seems like the nightmare is back, "aunty explained.

Sick? Sure do. That was how Rio felt now. The nightmare that almost took Zahra's life back. Whatever things Zahra had done, Rio just wished his sister well.

"Auntie just calm down, Rio will call Devan now. Maybe Zahra's still staying at her house." Rio tried to convince aunt. Although aunt looks calm, but the worry that runs her is clearly read by Rio.

"Aunt break, Rio will give aunt news when Rio has found Zahra."

Rio escorted Bi Heni to the room for aunty's mind to be much calmer. Afterwards, the man immediately contacted Devan.

"Where is Lo now? Same Zahra no?"

"Lo to Ita Medika hospital now!"

"Gue otw," Rio quickly replied. Without changing clothes, the man returned to drive the car to Ita Medika Hospital.

"Patient in the name of Ulyana Zahra?" ask her at the reception.

"The patient is in the second floor VVIP room number three" replied the receptionist with the tag name Irene.

"If it's his administration, let me take care of it."

"Eum, here the admin has been completed by the mas-mas who brought it earlier."

"Alright, Sus. Thanks." Thanks." Rio left after the nurse in front of him replied. He went straight in as soon as he found Zahra's nursery. The man found his sister lying down, on his right side there was someone who gently rubbed Zahra's hair. Rio guessed, it was Devan.

"Van?"

The person turned his head, smiling when he found Rio standing by the door. The man approached Devan, standing next to him.

"Where is he?"

"The condition is improving, the body temperature has started to normal. Doctor's message, if Zahra drinks again with excessive amounts, the condition will be much worse. It's fatal."

Rio held his breath as the word 'fatal' was spoken from Devan's lips. I can't imagine that if it really happened. He can't afford.

Devan gave Rio a place to interact with Zahra, while the man moved to the sofa.

Rio rubbed Zahra's forehead slowly and kissed her for a long time. "Is the nightmare really back? If it's right back, sorry brother for not being able to help you when the nightmare is present," Rio paused for a moment and looked at his sister deeply, "plisss, big brother doesn't want to lose you a second time, quite once you leave brother. Papi, mamii sorry Rio, I'm a bad brother because I can't take care of his sister." Rio rubbed Zahra's smooth cheeks, while Devan stared at the two with a glare.

After calming down by rubbing his sister's cheek, now his attention turns to Devan. "He why? Why did it get to be like this?"

"Gue doesn't know. I called the bar, they told me Zahra had fainted."

"Thanks, take care of my brother. Sorry, have taken lo many times, maybe only you want to help him. I was wrong, I shouldn't have left him" Rio said.

"Casual, Bang. I don't feel repotinated, I can even help him. What really happened, why did he get to that? The Zahra I know is like this, Bang?"

"Yes, I know. When everything brings him to the memory of the past, he will be another. He can't control himself, he needs a focus. But the pedestal yesterday left, so he was kind of cool," Rio said with a pushy look.

"Udah, Bang. In order to also copy everything, I will also take care of him," said Devan seriously by affirming his body.

"Later I change your money," said Rio, he remembered Devan who had paid off his sister's administration.

Devan smiled thinly. "Look out, Bang. It's not replaced either, papa."

Rio nodded and smiled, however he had to reimburse Zahra's administrative expenses. He's been a lot of trouble for Devan this week.

The atmosphere of the room was suddenly silent, it was because Rio and Devan had dissolved in each other's minds. Until a screech awakens both.

****
