ALDEBY
|5.| Concealed

..."Everyone has their own time to feel the loss."...

...***...

Since Beby's departure a few hours ago, Arka has been staring blankly at the city lights before her. The 24-year-old was in the hospital rooftop, but his soul wandered out of nowhere.

Do not be surprised if Arka spends more time in the hospital. As a prospective surgeon, Arka often helps those who serve in the ER. It is also believed to be involved in an operation. Count to add experience before koas.

Actually, there's a lot of surgeries that Arka has to help with tonight. But, considering his thoughts that continue to branch, Arka decided to give all his duties to Arka's colleagues who were taking leave that day: Abdi. Luckily Abdi was willing to change his leave schedule, although before that Arka had to hear the ravings of a long train instead of playing.

Arka needs to calm his soul and body now.

"When are you here?"

The voice made Arka turn to the right and capture the figure of the Princess in a complete white dress.

The princess glanced at the clock that was coiled around her left wrist. "Udah is almost eleven, it's time to go home."

Arka let out a heavy sigh, but not a word came out of her lips. The debate in Arka's brain was already noisy enough for the man.

"Why not be honest, Ar?" ask Princess. "Your relationship with Beby doesn't have to end if you're honest."

The man in the doctor's signature white coat laughed bitterly. "Sooner or later, I'm the same Beby will still end up in separation."

The princess who had originally gazed towards the glittering lights of the city, now turned her head quickly towards Arka. The girl a little—very—does not accept with Arka's sentence just now.

"Lo thought, farewell will only happen in your life? Everyone in this world must have experienced what's called separation, Ar! Everyone has their own time to feel the loss!"

Arka. Replying to the stare that the Princess made. "Gue knows. But if I'm honest with Beby, he'll be sicker when the day of the breakup comes."

"Certainly? In this way, according to Lo Beby will not hurt, so?"

"At least, this way, Beby can move on faster."

Princesses clucked slowly. The 24-year-old girl turned back towards the scene. "Gue must be so damn in Beby's eyes right now. Never showed up, suddenly ruined the relationship."

Arka chuckles. "Thank's, yeah. You helped me."

Instead of answering, the Princess instead turned both eyes lazy. "Lo still want to be here?"

The one asked nodded. "Tonight I'm looking for something. All the exercises get used to the atmosphere of the hospital."

"Here, nih!" exclaim Putri while raising his index finger right in front of Arka. "Gue was surprised, Ar. How, can you, anyway, get into medicine? The spirit of life has no."

Arka raised both shoulders. "Destiny times."

"As far as you are, dah!" The princess shook her hand. "Gue pull it out."

"One more time, thank's helped me," said Arka shortly before the Princess breezed away.

Princesses nodded. He patted Arka's right shoulder twice before taking a step. However, right on the doorstep of the rooftop, the Princess is back.

"That?"

Arka turned back, raising a look of wonder at her first love. "Why? Is anyone missing? Or you're gonna tell me that you haven't moved on from me?" Both of Arka's eyes narrowed suspiciously. "Don't, you want to take me back, huh?"

"Can it be? It's a big onion!" concluded Princess.

Arka laughed softly. "Yes, I know someone has. Why?"

"Gue just wanted to say, you better be honest with Beby. Before it's too late."

***

Still in the same place. Arka's memory floated back in the seconds before the natural disaster in her heart occurred.

The princess was talking to another nurse when suddenly someone pulled her wrist so tight. 

"Came?!" exclaimed the Princess while continuing to follow Arka's hasty steps.

They stopped at the corridor. From the Princess's vision, Arka seemed to be observing the situation before focusing her gaze on him.

"What's up, anyway?" ask the Princess wonder. "Who's there?"

Both Arka's hands tightly gripped the Princess's shoulders. The man who occupied the medical faculty looked at the princess.

"Put, we're friends, right?"

One Princess's eyebrows swooped upwards. He felt strange about Arka's question just now. "Why do you have nanya—?"

"Jawab! The chunky!"

"I-iya," said the Princess quickly, because the arc that shook her shoulders was quite tight.

"Gue can ask you a favor, can't you?" This time, Arka's voice sounded more urgent.

Finally, the Princess sighed for a moment, then nodded briefly. Having a special relationship with the man before him makes the Princess poultice how Arka if she wants something. According to the observation of the Princess, one thing is completely unchanged from the Ark: the forcible.

"What help?"

"Lo look over there" said Arka, turning her eyes toward the lobby. The princess followed Arka's direction of view.

"That little girl who's fussy?" 

Arka nodded. "He's my girlfriend."

The princess smiled widely. "Pretty. He must be here nyamperin lo, huh? Doesn't look sick."

"Either that. You have to help me."

"We're pretending to be dating."

Arka's sentence just now made the Princess instantly glare in shock. "Lo crazy, huh?!"

"Serious cave!"

"But, why?"

No words came out of Arka's lips. The man just stared at the Princess's long-goal. As if voicing an answer from behind her bead of eyes.

The princess squinted suspiciously. "Don't tell me, he doesn't know about your illness."

Arka's gaze turned to the place where Beby was. The girl was standing in front of the reception desk.

There's no more time. 

Arka pulled the Princess' wrist, then carried the girl towards the hospital canteen. Arka did not care about the Princess who continued to protest because of her actions.

***

Anyone who saw the fight scene between Arka and Beby in the parking area must have thought the same thing as the Princess. And it is true, that the relationship of Arka and Beby ended.

It looks very from the look of Arka's face that is lethargic and gloomy, and his legs that step as if without energy.

"Where?" the Princess asked as Arka stood right in front of her.

Since then, the Princess has witnessed the interaction between Arka and Beby in front of the lobby. 

Arka looked at the Princess for quite a while before replying, "We broke up."

"Certainly? Why is your face so lethargic?" There was a slight defiant tone behind the voice of the Princess. "That's it, isn't it, who you want?"

Arka nodded weakly. The princess who saw that was upset. Anxious himself sees the way Arka treats her boyfriend. Errata. His ex-girlfriend.

"Gue knows you're lying, Ar," the Princess said after a moment of silence. "Lo really doesn't want to break up, does he, from your girlfriend?"

"No," denied Arka. "Gue is about to break up. I thought everything was okay."

"Related?"

The man before the Princess nodded briefly. "Gue entered first," said Arka who then sauntered from before the Princess.

The princess who was still standing in her place could only sigh while shaking her head.

"I'm guessing you're not sure, Ar."

"Congratulations?"

The sound of baritone from the direction of the door rooftop disperse the reverie of Arka. He looked at the source of the voice. It turns out that Rohim, a final-level student from a neighboring university who also often helps in the ER room.

"Spirit? Why are you here?"

Rohim smiled kindly. He stepped up to stand right next to Arka. "Getting help at this hospital, almost every time I finish my practice to the rooftop, Ar. The atmosphere here calms the matter."

Arka smiled little. "Lo's right."

"What's going on here?"

"So calm down."

"ah! I just realized tonight you're invisible. It turns out you were here?"

Again, Arka smiled slightly while nodding briefly. "Yes." Yeah."

"At first there's a problem, huh, Ar?"

There was no response from Arka. They are indeed quite close, but only limited to relationships between coworkers.

Furthermore, Arka and Rohim spent the night on the topic of medicine.

Aldef drove his car to Golden Apartment at moderate speed. He wants to immediately lay down on his warm and comfortable mattress. However, the density of the Capital's highways meant Aldef had to extend his patience. Time has shown almost midnight. 

'Citt!!!'

Aldef's feet reflexively pressed the brake pedal when he saw a girl standing on the edge of the bridge. Not wanting to be rash, Aldef observed the girl more closely. 

The girl looked down, then threw her face to the side. At that time, Aldef's sense of vision could capture the girl's face clearly.

"Beby?"

Aldef didn't want to interfere. In his mind, Beby couldn't possibly have intended to do something reckless, right?

But, that assumption was broken with Beby's foot climbing over the bridge fence. Without a second thought, Aldef rushed down from his car. With a focused gaze towards the object, Aldef darted quickly. 

Once in sight, Aldef grabbed Beby's wrist and pulled him tight.

'Bruk!' 

"LO CRAZY, HUH?!"
