Being in a crowded place but like being alone with no one, that's how Renata feels now, his best friend who used to accompany him, always with him no longer after two months, it simply disappeared leaving behind a pain that he had to force to accept sincerely
"Ren, can we talk to you for a second?" Gempano approached Renata who was sitting alone in one of the back garden chairs with a thick tree that shaded from the hot sun
"What?"
"Mom I'll see you tonight, can you?" Gempano looked at him with a hopeful look
"Ta but Sister Earthquake, I don't know what to do" Renata panicked herself now, lying once if she said there was no taste for the man, men who have been with and entertained him for the past two months even though they are both different faculties and semesters
"Look, my mother is not fierce, so be yourself" Gempano rubbed her hair gently and then misbehaved himself
"earthquake"
That voice, a voice that had not been heard for a long time on campus, Renata turned to look at Naufal who was slightly running towards them precisely Gempano, Gempano, somehow seeing Naufal for Renata is like seeing Aqila with all their togetherness. He looked down when suddenly the clear liquid just escaped. The man was declared allowed to go home from the hospital one week ago when his condition had completely improved, the memory of his friends was not lost, but why? Why was his memory of Aqila buried?
"Don't call with a high tone like that, people can misunderstand you tell them to leave the room" decak Gempano upset, despite the fact that his name is like that, despite the fact that it is, there was no way he would blame his father who was already calm in nature for giving that name
"Sorry sorry"
"Lo what? Make a cry boy?" Naufal pointed at Renata who was sitting with hair covering part of her face, visibly crying because of her trembling shoulders
Gempano turned towards Renata who had looked fine, he understood that Renata must have remembered his best friend
"No, it's your fault"
"Who am I?" Naufal was confused to point to himself, he did not know anything even just came directly to blame
"Sir Naufal" Renata tidied up her slightly messy hair and wiped her tears with a tissue
"Yes?"
"Don't Naufal remember me?" asked Renata to calm down
Naufal tried to see the face of the woman in front of him at this time and seemed to think
"You look familiar, I've seen you a few times"
"I'm Renata"
"the diamonds? a familiar name, I'd like to hear someone say your name, but who?"
Renata pulled out the phone from her bag and stood up to show a picture of Aqila smiling sweetly in front of her face
"He, he's the one, do you remember?" Naufal shook his head not remembering the female figure in the photo but in his heart he thought familiar and felt close, but why is there no memory of him in his head?
"Don't remember? Brother Naufal doesn't remember who he is?" Renata further cornered Naufal with the question trying to provoke the man's memory
"It's Ren, don't be like that" Gempano pulled Renata's right arm wrapped in a long black shirt
"The doctor said yesterday, he lost some of his memories temporarily" Renata glanced at Naufal's left hand which had been attached to nothing there
"Why was the ring removed?" his question was again holding back the sobs
"How is... What if he falls in love with someone else?" Renata's voice shook again, tears that had just dried like they were going to come out again
"Don't think too much of what's not important Ren, let God take care of their hearts if they're meant to be together"
"Gempano what's really going on here? Is she crying because of me?" Gempano shook his head and smiled at Naufal
"He just misses someone. Wait for the parking lot, I'll be followed" Finally Naufal nodded and left from there
"Calm down, don't be sad anymore, I have to go now, you still have class right?" Renata nodded his head in response
"Judah spirit, I go first don't be sad anymore"
Just as Renata turned around, she again saw a figure that reminded her of Aqila, who else if not Rian and Reyna. Bramadja's brother was separated at the end of the corridor because their class was different, this opportunity was not wasted by Renata, he ran after Reyna who still had to walk far enough to go to his class
"REYNA!" not caring about the views of the students who made it the center of attention, Renata only wanted to treat a little longing at least by knowing the news from Aqila
Reyna who felt called, turned to see her sister's close friend running towards her, she knew Renata would want to ask about Aqila. He deliberately accelerated his footsteps even impressed running, some days he was deliberately avoided when he saw Renata, because he knew that his brother's best friend must ask about many things
"Stop for a moment" because it never stopped, Renata was forced to run faster again and managed to pull the tip of Reyna's bag to make it almost staggered backwards if not able to adjust its position
"I'm sorry, but you don't want to stop" Renata said gasping for breath
"Why brother?"
"Why did you run when I called?"
"I have a class now" of course it's just Reyna's alibi, because the class will start still about twenty minutes away
"How's Aqila?" Reyna had expected it, and she had prepared the exact answer Aqila had said
"If you have a friend who asks especially Renata, just say that you are fine and get well soon, tell him that this is the hospital with the best cancer treatment in the world, the facilities are the best and the medical professionals, so we can definitely get together again"
With full confidence Aqila and a tone of spirit when Aqila said that, in fact her face was even pale, her hair was no longer left. The doctor said that the effect of chemotherapy is like that because it contains hard drugs that also kill the hair roots, therefore Aqila who decided herself to shave off her long hair is not left, because tomorrow when you're done with all this, it's gonna grow again, right? Those are his words
"The condition is better, he is in the best cancer treatment hospital in the world, with the best facilities and professional medical personnel"
"Thank God then" at least Renata's longing can be a little relieved to hear that
"But why can't he be contacted again? Is social media not active?" asked Renata again, Reyna also recalled Aqila's words as if Aqila did know what question Renata would issue
"Tell Renata that you can't hold your phone and when you meet or exchange news you're not happy but want to go home to see her instead of undergoing this painful treatment"
"Sister Aqila said that if he exchanged news with Renata, he was more sick because he was holding back the longing of not being able to meet and certainly could not bear to choose to go home rather than undergo such painful treatment" Renata nods to bite his lower lip, trying to understand and understand their condition, because at least he knows now that Aqila is better as Reyna said even though it is not so
