Jerry gasped at the question posed by Ridwan. He raised his eyebrows full of question marks and confusion as he looked at Ridwan.
"Why is loe nanyain?" ask Jerry.
"Gue just wants to know."
Jerry rubbed the side of his chin with his index finger and thumb as if thinking.
"Gue didn't see clearly. Because I am far from them. Rich you see in the photo. It's also zoom to be visible" Jerry explained.
"That's it" said Ridwan, looking disappointed.
"But from what I saw the guy was white with a lot of it." Jerry tries to recall the man with Archi.
"White is definitely not Indo. I'm sure he's not Indo. Rich you so many times, blaster. He's about 175 cents." Ridwan explained the traits he could see.
Ridwan listened carefully while thinking.
"Is it possible that the man in the photo was there?" ask Inner Ridwan.
"It's a pity I don't see the picture clearly," he continued.
...****************...
Late at midnight at Archi's house. On his bed Archi shivered in the cold even in the blanket.
Agust who was writing something on Archi's study table realized that. He looked worried, with Agust frantically approaching towards Archi.
"Archi..are you okay?" agust asked but Archi did not respond. Archi kept his eyes closed. Agust held Archi's forehead.
"Archi fever," he said.
"But I'll get you a compress, yeah!" agust said hurrying to go to the kitchen.
He filled the basin with warm water then took a small towel. After that he took fever-lowering drugs in the kitchen drawer set.
Agust returned to Archi's room. He painstakingly compressed Archi's forehead.
"Archi.wake up first, take some heat-lowering medicine," said Agust shaking Archi's hand.
Archi opened his eyes slowly. Lips vibrate. Agust helped Archi to sit down.
"Cold...!" archi said trembling.
"Yes, take the medicine first," said Agust giving paracetamol tablets and a glass of water. Archi's hands were trembling as well. Agust helps Archi to drink.
Archi hugged Agust's body tightly.
"Don't leave me. I beg you!" racau Archi with eyes closed.
Agust was silent, his body was dull, his heart was beating faster, and a red hue permeated his face.
"Is he serious about this request? Or is it just because of the fever? He's not aware of what he's saying?" batin Agust hugged Archi.
When Archi had fallen asleep. Although still shivering, Agust laid Archi on the bed. Slowly he lifted the blanket covering Archi's body.
He went back to the study table. Time shows at 02:45 in the morning. He tidied the papers on the table and hid the papers in Archi's desk drawer. Her eyes pulled him to look at the gift board from her, a photo of the two of them. Agust looked at the photo for a moment.
Agust went to bed. She lay her body on Archi's side. This time no longer contrasted with Archi. He lay facing Archi. Staring at Archi's pale face and still cold. Agust felt he could not bear to see Archi like that.
His hand outstretched wanting it felt like he was hugging Archi but he did not dare without Archi's permission. He pulled his hand back.
"Cold...!" murmured Archi folded his hands over his chest, curling up in coldness. "August...It's cold...!" mumble Archi again.
Agust brought himself closer, got into Archi's blanket. She held Archi, hugged him tightly. Hope this warms Archi's body.
The feeling of heat and cold can be felt Agust from the touch of their skin.
They fell asleep in that position until the morning.
Archi opened his eyes slowly. He felt his movement space was narrow. He realized his face was in Agust's chest embrace. The man hugged her very tightly.
He can't remember what happened last night. She also did not know the reason Agust had embraced her so. But Archi admitted in his heart, he could somehow feel the comfort in Agust's arms.
But the atmosphere was disturbed when something headed down his thigh.
"Yes...!" pekik Archi pushed Agust's body away. Agust opened his eyes.
"Why the hell is Archi?" agust asked with his eyes heavy to open.
He felt his head turn. The body feels bad too.
"Don't get up!" sergeant Agust holds Archi's shoulder.
"You just recovered a fever. You had a fever and chills all night. Rest first today," said Agust asking Archi to lie down again.
Like a child after being given candy, Archi complied with it easily.
"So I had a fever last night?" tanya Archi slept sideways.
"Yes" answered Agust briefly and then lay down again in bed and went back to sleep.
"Why is she even lying around again!" gerutu Archi.
"Did he take care of me all night?" tanya Archi looked at Agust's calm face while sleeping.
Archi took a cell phone to tell Andini that he could not get to work because of illness. Archi asked for permission from his superiors. Even so, tomorrow when he enters work, Archi must bring a doctor's certificate.
Tok.tokkk.
Someone knocked on the door from the outside.
"Lake in!" exclamation Archi.
She opened the door and entered slowly. He saw Archi and Agust who were still lying on the mattress and also saw a basin of water and a used towel compressing Archi last night.
"August sick?" ask Mom in a whisper.
"I'm the sick mother. He's been keeping me all night." Reply Archi sat on the bed.
"Oh that. But you've been snuffing?" ask Mom to lift the basin of the former compress.
"Little bit. I'm still dizzy and not feeling well" replied Archi.
"But I'm not pregnant Mother!" archi said in a hurry so that his mother does not misunderstand again.
Especially at this time Mother is indeed waiting for the presence of grandchildren in the stomach of Archi.
"Yes," answered Mother covering up her disappointment.
"Let's have breakfast for you guys, yeah," Mom said as she exited Archi's room and closed the door again.
Mom came to bring breakfast for Archi and Agust. Archi woke Agust up to eat. Although heavy Agust tried to wake up.
"You want me to bribe you?" ask Agust.
"No, I can eat by myself" replied Archi. Shame to sweet things like that.
"Are you better?" tanyanya took a rice plate for him.
"It's still a little dizzy" replied Archi. Agust held Archi's forehead.
"You still have this fever" said Agust who still felt Archi's body temperature was still high.
Afternoon. In Archi's office...
"So, are we looking at Archi?" susan asked Andini and Icha, at work.
"So. But what is it?" ask Icha.
"It's easy" replied Andini.
"Duh.dah is not the age of bringing fruit. Holland kek, or harvest that," said Susan.
"Here you are, whatever. Go hunted! Night hunt," take Icha.
"Where are you going?" ask Ridwan who just came out of his study.
"Look Archi sir" Susan replied.
"Oh," answered Ridwan so cold and flat. He seemed to be indifferent to hearing Archi being sick.
Ridwan seems very heartbroken to accept the fact Archi has married someone else. Even from the look on his face he was more angry and disappointed.
