Reaching Hope
Chapter 45 Jhony stabbed

It's been a month since Jhony worked at the cafe. Every day interacting with Indra brings them closer. At first Jhony felt ordinary, but over time became suspicious. At first Indra's attitude like men in general but increasingly his attention and behavior to Jhony was not like a friend, but rather an interest in the same sex. Jhony was scared, Indra had a disorder like Om Dion. Once upon a time Jhony overslept in the resting place for employees, when opening his eyes Indra had been staring at him and felt his chest. Suddenly Jhony felt shocked, but Indra said there was a cockroach and he intended to expel it.

Today Jhony works as usual, at lunch he chose to go to the stall to deliberately avoid Indra who usually always invite him to eat together. When the trip home suddenly there were some men like thugs blocking him. There are 3 motorcycles with 6 riders directly robbing his wallet and mobile phone. Jhony tried to fight back, yet he was no match for them. Because many people came to meolong but Jhony still pulled each other's wallet with thugs that made them panic, one of them recklessly pierced Jhony's stomach with a dagger as much as 2x.

"Akh. please.." said Jhony lirih.

He managed to maintain his wallet, but the phone managed to grab them.

"Let's go help the guy, he's on a thug prick. Call an ambulance" said one mother worried.

"The wound was so bad that there was so much blood" said another.

They huddled around Jhony, no one dared to help.

"What's that in a lot, sir?" indra asked a mother who ran from the crowd.

"That's a guy who was stabbed by a thug, his stuff was taken. But the wallet was successfully defended" explained the mother.

Indra ran to see.

"Jeez, Jhony," said Indra in shock.

"You know how the hell, there are people who are hurt just seen instead of being helped. Having a conscience is not, anyway," he said annoyed.

"Sorry, Sir. We are only afraid of damaging the CTF," replied a young man.

"If he's dying because no one helps how? Come on please take it to my car, I take it to the hospital, he's my friend" Indra said.

They flinch, after Indra yells annoyed and all help.

"Prophey, Jhon. You must be strong, I will always accompany you," Indra said beginning to sob.

From earlier he held back to not look crybaby, but when there was no one he spilled his sadness.

"Please, Doc. Somebody got a stab" he said, running to call the nurse.

"Come, someone's hurt. Hurry," said the officer.

Jhony was immediately taken to the ER, he was bleeding a lot. The wound was so deep, he got 25 stitches spread across his abdomen, head and hands. In addition to the stabbing, there was a beating using a blunt object.

Indra is very loyal waiting for Jhony. He felt confused who to contact, because Jhony's phone was successfully seized. But he doesn't mind taking care of her all the time.

Three days have passed, Jhony has not yet realized from the coma. Indra was very loyal to accompany him. Today he was determined to find a friend Jhony who according to Jhony lived in a luxury apartment near there.

"Excuse me, Sir. I want to ask," said Indra to the apartment security guard.

"Please,Pak. Wanna ask what?" ask security.

"My friend was stabbed by a thug a few days ago and until now has not been conscious. His phone was taken, I'm afraid his family is worried he's not heard. I don't have his family number, but he used to say that his best friend who he considered family lived in this apartment, sir," explained Indra.

"Oh, whose name is his best friend who lives here?" ask security.

"I also forgot, this is my friend who was stabbed sir," Indra replied as she showed a photo of Jhony.

"Well, it's a little hard if you don't know his name, here's how his friend's picture is left here. If there is information later I will notify, please note the mobile number behind the photo only." replied the security guard.

"Oh well, I wrote for a moment. Thank you very much for your help, sir," Indra said sincerely. Soon he said goodbye because he was worried about leaving Jhony too long.

"Perhaps Non knows this person. His friend here said that the person in the photo was stabbed by a thug, his phone was taken. Until now he has not realized, it has been a few days in the hospital." explained the security guard while showing a photo.

"Jeez, Jhony. This is my friend sir. How it is now." Clara replied in a panic.

"Oh thank goodness from earlier I asked the other residents no one knew. It's his friend's cell phone number behind the photo, don't take me the photo," said the security guard.

"Yes, Sir. Thank you very much" Clara replied, then hurried up.
