|2.| Heart Rate

..."Apparently, caring about kepo almost makes no difference, yes."...

...***...

It is a law of nature that all who are sick need medicine to heal. Like a wound, whether visible or not. However, if the wound is very severe, then the only treatment that must be taken is amputation.

Then, can Beby amputate his relationship with Arka who has been running for 2 years?

Because, one month ago, Beby felt there was a growing distance between himself and Arka. The man who bears the status as Beby's girlfriend was very preoccupied with thesis. Arka also often helps doctors at Sentosa Hospital to add thesis material.

The problem is not there, but Arka's attitude that seems to avoid every time Beby invites her to let go of longing. Is not the feeling of the women no doubt the truth?

"Wooy!" The jolt forcefully dragged Beby's radar from the reverie. "Dreamy of lo. Think what?"

"Lo, what, is it here?" beby asked confusedly.

"Emang why? Can't I go to my best friend's house?" 

"The man, tuh, answered. Not even asked back."

The girl sitting to the left of Beby squinted her eyes. "Lo why, bye? Sewot very."

A heavy sigh slid from Beby's respiratory tract. The long-sleeved navy-shirted girl looked back straight ahead with a full look. Indulge his sense of sight with the beautiful star-looking offerings from his apartment balcony.

Meanwhile, Kiran who felt she would not get an answer asked, "Arka again?"

Beby looked over for a moment. As if asking Kiran non-verbally 'lo this psychic, huh?'. However, he looked back at the sky a second later. Beby simply flicked both shoulders in response.

"Actually, what is your relationship with Arka, anyway?" ask Kiran.

The question made Beby turn his head and throw a suspicious look at Kiran. "When did you go to gini?"

Before replying, Kiran took a sip of iced tea in a bottled bottle that she had bought at the minimarket. "Gue cares, By. Not kepo."

Beby chuckled softly. "It turns out, caring for kepo almost makes no difference, yes. There are a lot of girls who are fooled by guys who care about them. In fact, that guy was just a kepo. The girl who feels cared for."

"Kok, you're slacking off, anyway?"

Again, a heavy sigh came out of Beby's respiratory tract. He looked at Kiran after goal, ready to pour out all the contents of the heart that made his chest feel tight. 

"Gue is confused."

"Why?" ask Kiran.

"In fact, I'm the same Arka break up or keep going, huh?"

"Same Lo Arka is maintaining a relationship or just delaying a breakup?"

"That's the lyrics to the song, bego!"

Both laughed crisply. But come to think of it, Judika's song is indeed very suitable with the situation of Beby and Arka's relationship now.

"Why is Arka?" kiran asked, just after they re-activated serious mode.

"Gue felt, the relationship I am living now is not healthy."

"meaning?"

"Yes .. I'm the same Arka has rarely met. Every time I meet, he says he is busy. Even during the weekend, he never made time to meet. We never communicated either."

"Why don't you try samperin him?"

"He's rarely home, Ran. Where do I want to take him?"

"Where is Emang Arka often?" 

"Hospital, you are!"

"Well!" Kiran flicked her finger. "I mean, why don't you try Arka's samperin to the hospital?"

"Gue tried a few times. But still, Arka always had a reason not to find me."

Both Kiran's eyebrows are linked. His brain is spinning twice as fast. "Usually, if you want to see him, how?"

"Yes, I called him first, told him I was going to the hospital to meet."

"If so, this time you directly samperin him."

Beby was silent for a moment. Both of his eyeballs looked at Kiran doubtfully. The next two seconds, Beby let out a discordant laugh. "Gue seriously, Ran."

"Who said I was kidding, Beby?"

"Gue doesn't understand what you mean."

Kiran who was originally sitting leaned back, now straightened her body. "OKAY. Gini aja's. Tomorrow after coming home from college, I'll go to the hospital to see Arka, how?"

"But if your plan fails, what?"

"Try it first."

Beby raised both eyebrows, considering the advice of his best friend. "Kude." (OK.)

"But ...."

"Wae?" (Why?)

"Before going to the hospital, I went to the bookstore, huh?"

"Well?"

"Buy food. Yeah, buy a book, go!"

Beby's question made Kiran's facial expression suddenly change. Both corners of his lips seemed to swoop down. "Not to talk about him, huh. Males me."

Instead of being suspicious, Beby broke down.

"Kok, you're laughing, anyway?" cynical Kiran.

Beby leaned his body to get closer to Kiran. "Don't say, if Mr. Gino nyium lo in front of the campus children 'again'."

"BEBYYY!!!"

***

The door of Beby's apartment opened along with the door of the apartment unit right in front of him. Beby's frown furrowed in surprise when he saw a man he knew coming out from there. "Aldef?"

If the confusion so intensely struck a Beby Skyla Amanda, then it was inversely proportional to Aldef standing before him. The man did not display any expression, as if his meeting with Beby was indeed supposed to be.

"What are you doing here?" beby asked, seeing that Aldef had no intention of opening his voice.

Aldef pointed towards the door where he had exited earlier. "My house."

Both of Beby's eyes were perfectly rounded. "Since when?"

Instead of answering, Aldef waltzed away. Making the girl he ignored feel annoyed half to death.

Aldef and Beby have known each other for the past two years. Although not a college friend, but Beby quite understand how the habits of Aldef. The man is famous for his extroverted nature.

One thing that made Beby wonder, why did Aldef's nature turn one hundred and eighty degrees when dealing with him? From a warm and friendly figure, turned into a cold and indifferent person.

"Woi, shucks! If the nanya man, tuh, answered!"

Beby clucked in annoyance. Throughout his eyeballs observing Aldef ahead of him, Beby felt that Aldef would approach the location he was coming to as well. The girl stepped quickly until she was right next to Aldef. "Where are you going? Gym, huh?"

"It's none of your business" Aldef cuek replied as he continued to step up.

They both entered the elevator. Seeing Aldef press the lobby floor, Beby's belief in the assumption of where Aldef went was more and more firmly established in him. Plus the style of Aldef clothes and a small black towel wrapped around the back of his neck.

Meanwhile, Aldef who felt intimidated by Baby's gaze remained calm. As much as possible he tried to make the sound of his crazy heartbeat not to caress Beby's eardrum. It could be bad if it happens. That girl must be ge-er-an.

Arriving at the lobby and a few steps out of the elevator, Aldef could not take it anymore. His steps came to a halt, his body turning a hundred and eighty degrees to face Beby who stood three steps behind him. 

"Lo follow me?"

Beby's forehead wrinkled in wonder. "Who's following you?"

"Keep, why are you walking behind me?"

Beby pointed at something in front of him, making Aldef point his gaze in the same direction. "Gue wants to gym."

Begos! aldef on himself.

***

For an hour continue to burn calories, repeatedly eyeballs Aldef distracted by Beby who was in the room with him. Moreover, the hairstyle of the horsetail that made Beby's neckline exposed, his sleeveless clothes, as if calling out the hands of a jail to caress him. Coupled with the sweat drenching Beby's forehead and temples, making the girl's attractive aura even more radiant.

If Aldef was busy controlling his visual senses—which repeatedly failed, Beby with a gasp of breath after jumping jack felt uncomfortable. How not? The girl felt like a fugitive being stalked for 24 hours.

In order to avoid Aldef's gaze, Beby moved. However, those black eyes just kept following him. 

An idea suddenly permeates Beby's brain. He walked to the corner of the room where the gym— building facilitiesa refrigerator that provides drinks in the form of cold mineral water. The girl took two bottles. One for him to gulp to the toilet, another for Aldef. 

After finishing one bottle of his mineral water, Beby stepped casually towards Aldef who was busy wiping the sweat using a small black towel around his neck.

Without warning, Beby held out a bottle of mineral water that was originally in his grasp. Beby's sudden action of course made Aldef then look at him in wonder.

"Drink" said Beby.

Aldef took over the bottle from Beby's hand. After all, his throat was in need of wetting. The man opened the bottle cap, then gulped down the water inside.

Beby's eye bead was imprinted on the jakun Aldef who was up and down in rhythm with the receding of the water in the bottle. The sweat dripping from Aldef's temples, made Beby completely speechless.

"Lo was worried about me" said Beby.

It was not a question, but rather a statement that Beby believed to be true.

"Uhuk! Uhuk!" And yes, the statement was successful in making Aldef choke. Forced, Aldef had to stop his drinking.

"No need to ge-er," cynical Aldef.

"Obviously I've seen you watching me from before" Beby said.

Aldef tilted his head, as if searching for something in Beby's face. The girl in front of Aldef who was stared at so intensely felt as if she was drowning in it.

"Close," said Aldef who then sauntered from before Beby.

"That's doang?" muttered Beby with a gaze attached to Aldef's back. 

Just now Beby was about to shout at the man's name, but Aldef suddenly stopped stepping. He turned his body to face Beby. Without moving from his position, Aldef lifted a bottle of mineral water in his hand. Then, he said, "Thank's."

What no one knows is that Aldef's heartbeat has been crazy since the moment Beby came to him.
