ALDEBY
|62.| 'Important'

"WHAT?!" Those two words made the Princess reflexively shout. He looked around and threw a sorry smile at the people who were disturbed by his actions. "Lo know where?"

"My college friends. He's at High School with Aldef and Celine."

Princesses silent. The shocking information on this one, makes him even more convinced that something is not right.

***

Since Beby owed the scene yesterday, he had to complete 54 scenes for today. Counting 30 scenes until the break due to the time entering the adzan magrib.

This webseries titled Friendzone has reached *******. Where the roles of Rafi and Bella involved misunderstand. Both are running for the chairmanship of OSIS. However, the night before that day arrives, Rafi gets a video containing Bella who appears to give some money to their classmate. I don't know who sent the video. The next day, Bella was elected chairman of OSIS.

Beby waited for Aldef's arrival who said that he would come before the adzan magrib reverberated via chat. But in fact, the man has not revealed his nose until the rest duration is over.

In the next scene, Beby and Daren will do a fighting scene.

"ACTION!"

Bella steps down the sidewalk around her school area. Because of the OSIS meeting, the girl in high school uniform was forced to go home the night. Usually, there is Rafi who is always ready to be asked for help to pick up Bella. I don't know why the guy suddenly turned cute.

Until the corner of the road is quite quiet, there are two thugs block Bella's steps. Both are skinny. Its height is almost the same.

"Hi, pretty sister. Here, dong, same brother," teased one of the thugs in chains.

"Please!"

Due to Bella's weak character in martial arts, fear began to feel ambushed. Bella looked around, hoping that a good person would pass by. But, my dear, that hope is broken by reality.

A thug in a gray hat touched Bella's wrist. Lucky, because the girl has enough energy to fight. But unfortunately, because of that too, the thug clasped Bella's wrist getting stronger.

"Please! HELPGG!!! HELPGG!!!"

"Loud yell, Beautiful. No one will listen." The two thugs were shocked.

Bella was crying there. No matter how hard he tried, it was free. As Bella is on the verge of despair, Rafi comes up with her heroic stunt. The man managed to beat up the two thugs at once. But due to a little careless, one of the chain-clad thugs manages to take Bella hostage.

The thug wrapped his arm around Bella's neck, then pointed the knife just below the girl's neck. Rafi who saw Bella in such a state then raised her hand, a sign that she would not attack again.

Amidst the seriousness of the shoot, something bad happened to Beby. The character of Bella in him slowly faded. The nearby knife made Beby think back to yesterday's events. The girl tried to focus, but her breathing felt increasingly tight.

The dialogue between Daren and the thug seemed to muffle. Not getting to Beby's eardrum. His vision was suddenly blurry. Cold sweat began to wet Beby's forehead. As hard as Beby tried to survive, everything was in vain.

Finally, the girl turned her body to the left side. Bandage cover wound his left arm accidentally hit by a knife held by Fiki—people who act as thugs in chains.

"BEBY!"

"BY!"

"CHUCK, BABY!"

The screaming sounds were like 'CUT!' what the director should say. The crew and other players rushed over to Beby who was sitting on the ground.

"By, lo's hands!" Lola exclaimed in excitement as she looked at Beby's left arm full of blood.

Beby who felt the pain was unable to speak. He just focused on staring at his wide open wound.

"Gue take you to the hospital, huh?" ask Daren. "That's your wound looks wide. Must be stitched."

Beby only replied with a short nod. One thing that Beby only realized, the trauma of the pond was gradually improving, faced with Zidan Beby was able to fight back. But another trauma appeared.

Lola was about to follow Daren's car using Beby's car. Suddenly Aldef came.

"Lol, where's Beby? Is the shooting over?"

"Actually not. Beby was taken to the same hospital as Daren. Beby ken—"

Lola's explanation was cut short because Aldef just left. Lola looked in annoyance at the man.

"—knives. Haish! It's very disrespectful of you, Young Man!"

***

At exactly 16:00 Aldef dropped out of the last class. His hand grabbed the phone from his pants pocket, then called his girlfriend with a smile. Aldef told Beby that they would meet before the adhan magrib reverberated. There was something Aldef had to buy first.

However, before all that was accomplished, Aldef's phone rang just as he sat on the surface of the passenger seat of an online taxi. Aldef frowned in surprise when he saw an unknown number plastered on his phone screen.

A little hesitant, but Aldef kept pressing the answer button.

"Hallo?"

"Hallo, Brother. It's Poppy. I borrowed the hospital phone because Celine's cell phone was charged again."

"Sister Aldef can go to the hospital now? I need help, brother. Emergencies. It's really important."

"On Celine?"

"Yes." Yeah."

***

The scene Aldef saw upon entering Celine's ward was Poppy who seemed to persuade her brother to open his mouth. Is this what Poppy means 'emergency'? I want Aldef back, but ....

"Sister Aldef?"

... but Poppy caught his presence.

Aldef gave a brief smile. "Assalamualaik."

"Getishalight."

Celine replied with a faint smile. "Hi, Al."

"Hi." Aldef's gaze turned towards Poppy. "What's wrong?"

"Sir Celine won't eat. He wants to be bribed with his brother."

As expected, Aldef said in his heart.

"Al." Both of Celine's hands were raised, like they were looking for something. Aldef who saw it also took the initiative to get closer. Aldef caught both Celine's hands, making the girl smile happily.

"Can, yeah, Al? This time," said Celine.

"Here is the food" Aldef said, staring at Poppy.

Poppy then held out a white bowl filled with porridge on Aldef. Aldef who was already sitting on the left side seat of the gurney was feeding Celine painstakingly.

Meanwhile, Celine who felt that there were great explosions in her heart was trying to take another chance. His hand moved touching Aldef's hand which held out a spoonful of porridge towards him.

"I'm a whim, deh, Al. Turns out, you still care about me."

"Other times, don't make Poppy any harder. Poor him. Go home from school and take care of you. Not to mention if there is a dialysis schedule. Besides, Poppy can't be tired."

Hearing that line, Poppy felt even more guilty. Really, he feels like the worst person in the world. Utilizing Aldef's good intentions for his brother's personal benefit. Uh. No. gabe. For his own benefit.

"If not Poppy, who else, Al?" celine Lirih. "I don't have anyone else but—"

"There I am" said Aldef. There was silence for quite a long time. "And Beby."

Slowly, Celine manages to erode Aldef's guilt on Beby. The two were swept away in a conversation that reeked of past memories. Celine often poured out her heart, making Aldef instantly feel pity.

Aldef could feel the pulsing was still there when near Celine—, although it was very thin. Especially when the girl touched him. He was getting swept away from being with his ex. In the end, Aldef forgot that there was another girl who had the status of a boyfriend waiting for him.

Adhan magrib reverberated as Aldef awoke from the shadows of the past. The man rushed over. Arriving in a taxi, Aldef planned to inform Beby. But ....

"Where's my phone, huh?"

Aldef kept looking for that flat object. Starting from reaching into the pocket, removing all the contents in the bag, but the results are nil.

"Lost time? I had a feeling I put it safe in my bag."

***

"Where, Pop? Got it?" ask Celine enthusiastically.

Doubtfully, Poppy held out the thing that Celine meant. "Sister, isn't this outrageous?"

Celine did not answer. His hands were busy fiddling with Aldef's phone that Poppy had been hiding. As expected, the phone was never locked.

"You're still as careless as you used to be, yes, dear," Celine muttered with a smile of her own.
