CHAPTER 5
HUH! I, this, where!?
After a critical period, Randi finally woke up. But in a different place. When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was a bright white roof, but he remembered that he had been in the cave.
Here, infusion?
Randi saw that his right arm had been entered by a small tube connected to the intravenous fluid on his right side, from which he realized that he was in the hospital.
“Ah, you are awake. I will call the doctor, do not move much first ya”
“Eh?” Suddenly Randi was surprised by the presence of a nurse who apparently had been on his left side, before the nurse was recording a report about the development of Randi's condition. However, after learning that Randi had regained consciousness, he rushed out to call the doctor.
After a few minutes, Randi's vision began to normalize again, starting from the vague until now he can see very clearly as usual.
Tv's? A closet? Is this really a hospital?
He was amazed because the room where he was treated was quite large, there was a television, a wall patterned luxury then there were facilities that were quite luxurious for him.
True too, I had heard that the inpatient room in the hospital was divided into several classes. This room is a vip room?
“Happy noon”
After waiting for a few minutes, the doctor finally arrived with the nurse.
“Siang” said Randi while nodding.
The doctor then sat to the left of Randi while carrying a book that seemed to be a patient examination record, while the nurse stood to the left of the doctor.
“Include me, my name is Dedi Setiawan, the doctor who treated you until you recovered. Previously, you were found unconscious by your friends then BPP transferred you to this hospital. Then, according to your friends, you may faint from being hit by something when a big earthquake is underway, but luckily there are no injuries on or off your body, especially your head. In other words, you're fine. You can already go home tonight after the nurse gives you the last vitamin” said the doctor with a wide smile and meek.
“Sorry, doc, how long have I fainted?” ask Randi.
“Three days” reply doctor.
Ti, three days?
*
After that Randi thanked the doctor and nurse for taking care of him. Then, the doctor left the room to check the condition of other patients, while the nurse will prepare injections that contain vitamins.
Thank goodness I'm okay. Uh, wait a minute, what about the cave and the bodies.
“Ah!” randi said while holding his chest.
I also remember the pain of that time. Did nothing really happen to me?
*
“Em sorry mbak, want to ask. What is the condition of the newly discovered cave?”
Out of curiosity, Randi finally asked the nurse about the condition of the cave that had just been discovered by the BPP, because he had been asleep for three full days it was certain that he missed a lot of news.
The nurse then replied that the cave discovered by BPP yesterday has been examined by many researchers. The cave is one of the ancient caves that are always covered by soil to rocks until now. And now the cave has become a popular tourist spot in the city of Lembang that brings many tourists from outside the city even there are also foreign tourists and researchers who arrive because they are very curious about the cave.
“That's how about” the nurse replied while checking the syringe.
“La, then what about the bodies?” without a doubt Randi also asked about the bodies he found in the cave. However, the nurse's answer was shocking even beyond her expectations.
Whahuh? Not found?
“Set what I saw that time?” ask Randi again.
“Hm, maybe you are hallucinating because of the condition of the cave. Therefore this vitamin is needed by your body” replied the nurse while injecting the vitamin.
“Be, so yah” said Randi nervously.
No way, did the government cover it up? If it was a hallucination, how could I have felt such excruciating pain until I myself remembered it to this very moment. And also the bodies really look real let alone I can feel them and move them.
*
True too, if I were to be found by the other comrades, they should have also seen the mysterious corpse of the soldier that was beside me back then. If this is deliberately not shown to the public, it means that Erik and the others are forced to shut up.
Phew, that's the most logical thought for now. I'll ask him after I get out of this hospital.
“Alright, it's all done. Calm yourself first here, after that you can go home tonight” said the nurse.
“Eh, thank you very much, mbak” reply Randi.
Home at night.
The morning of that afternoon, Randi really felt something strange. To answer all the curiosity in his mind, he immediately turned on the television in his room and then he saw all the news that aired the cave.
Incidentally, the cave became a warm conversation throughout Indonesia and even the world, so Andi easily found the news that aired the cave.
*Greathe,*he's right.
It turns out that the words of the sister are indeed true, there is no news that shows the existence of a pile of bodies in the cave. Not satisfied until there, Randi was looking for other news, he continued to change his television broadcasts hoping to find the news he was looking for.
But until the afternoon he still did not find it, all media on the internet and on television compactly broadcast the same thing, namely the popularity of the newly discovered cave.
Randi has been trying to find news about the cave that was published three days ago on his smartphone but still he found nothing but what he sees today.
As expected, someone is covering this up.
With a nervous look and a disappointed heart, Randi finally gave up and turned off his television and saved his smartphone. The only way left was to tell Erik.
Time passed until night came. “Yo, finally realized also” Randi who was changing his clothes suddenly surprised by the presence of Erik “Eh, how come here? Just wanted to go home” said Randi.
Apparently Erik's arrival to the hospital was to take Randi home, he had received confirmation from the doctor that Randi would come home tonight, so Erik rushed to the hospital.
“How are you doing?” ask Erik.
“Doctors only need vitamins, no big wounds” replied Randi.

Coming out of the hospital, his heart and mind were already impatient to ask about the thing he found in the cave. However, Randi undoes his intention and waits for the right time.
