The Fate Of Two People
Chapters 10

Bima was lying limp in the hospital, she did not move in the slightest. In fact, now the breathing tube has helped him breathe.

It's been a week since Bima was found unconscious in the park.

It was suddenly that his head was very painful but Bima ignored the pain in his head, he wanted to meet Arumi and hear Arumi's reply directly.

But not with his body that was not strong to withstand the pain inside his head. Bima fell down to hold a flower that he deliberately bought to give to Arumi.

Wasted of his struggle and hope. His body seemed to be the limit of all that. All the plans and happiness he had felt when he heard Arumi want to talk to him, instantly dashed when his gaze blackened completely.

Then Bima was found an hour later, after heavy rain passed and the hospital had confusion to tell the patient's family. Because Bima's cell phone at that time had died completely, damaged by rain.

While Arumi who was upset, now began to worry about Bima. Bima has not been in school for a week and Arumi has been trying to find him by asking all of Bima's classmates about the man's current condition.  But the answer is nil! No one knows where that man is.

Rey knows Arumi is worried about Bima. But he also had no idea where Bima was at the moment.

Rey several times to Bima's house, returning to places she used to visit with Bima while skipping school. And the sea, a place that had been a funeral for his father.

But the result remains the same. Naughtiness! Bima cannot be found. He's not anywhere. Bima, like lost in the swallow of the earth.

***

At the hospital Bima is undergoing chemotherapy. Various chemical drugs are injected through an infusion located under the skin.

The doctors tried hard to kill Bima's cancer cells. But occasionally Bima's body showed a bad reaction. He had a seizure because of the side effects of the chemical drugs.

When Bima woke up, she realized that she was already in the hospital ward, after eight days of unconsciousness.

His body was already thin dry like a person who had not eaten for a month. His skin grew pale and some of his hair began to fall out due to the side effects of chemotherapy.

Bima is getting desperate with her condition. Weak body, even difficult to use to walk. He hates this situation.

He felt like a man who did not want his birth from his parents. Now Bima must experience this difficult time alone, without anyone beside her.

The old man who had considered it a failure, where would he go to this place to see it?! Bima has to fight alone, right?

Bima lowered her head deeply, starting to get tired of this painful life. He still wondered why God would give him a family if in the end he had to endure all this suffering alone.

He just wants to live like his friends with his loving parents. The old man who was proud of his achievements, and the old man who welcomed him when he came home with a warm smile.

Bima cried, dripping with hot tears soaked the surface of her skin that felt cold because of the air conditioning that was always on.

During this time Bima can bear his own suffering. Be patient and steadfast in facing everything independently. But sometimes, he was also very desperate and envious of other lives.

Bima leaned her back on the head of the bed, staring at the window with a sad look.

There was a crazy thought in his head. He wanted to end his life, but what about Arumi? What about the answer?

In the midst of this situation there, he never expected the presence of his parents, greater than the presence of Arumi. He wanted to see her smile and agile manner.

Bima misses Arumi. But where's the phone? He didn't find that thing anywhere. Is it possible to be damaged by rain?

"Man is always alone. Born and died. They fought for their own life. Don't expect too much of another human being, Bim. You know for yourself what it's like to be betrayed, stabbed and poisoned by them."

Bima slapped her face inside both of her palms. Crying softly with a stifled voice. "You shouldn't expect much of them. Shouldn't be!"

***

Bima returned to school, Rey his best friend was surprised and happy. These few days he was always confused looking for the existence of Bima.

But when he suddenly saw Bima appear, Rey was more irritated and annoyed because his best friend disappeared without telling him.

"Damn you Bim, where have you been all this time?! Make the cave worry. Gebetan you are also very worried, because you lost impromptu!" pekik Rey, following Bima walked towards her stool.

"Indeed the cave knows round?! In the fry impromptu. The cave went healing serenein self cave. Don't worry about you. You also know for yourself the problem of cave living. Sorry if the cave still makes you worried, hehehe ...." Bima smiled rancidly, making Rey a little arrogant to see that face.

"Oath, I want a cave with a tonjok face!" furious Rey, holding the right hand that has been clenched until it is parallel to the shoulder, so as not to stretch into the face of the tyrannical Bima.

Tyre?

Rey opened her eyes. He looked at Bima from foot to head. Something different and strange about him.

"Hahaha .. This is just a cave feeling, right? you're kurusan. you're dieting huh?!" screeched Rey, making Bima sneer.

"Gua gampar also mouth. Rada cave is not allowed to eat. The gini pitcher. Don't be lebay, your body is still thinner than a cave!" suhut Bima, as quiet as possible.

Rey nodded in understanding and didn't mind it anymore. "But, where did you go healing, really?" ask Rey, curious.

"There's a new cave hideout. Cold place. Not crowded and very quiet for the cave at home there." Bima is forced to lie to Rey, afraid to make her best friend worry.

But half of them don't lie, right? The place is cool because there is AC and also calm, because in the hospital there is no one who can be noisy.

Not completely lying. The lie is, about Bima who feels at home and feels calm.

Because in that place, Bima could never calm down because he thought, "Will he still be able to wake up tomorrow? Is she still able to meet Arumi and Rey?!" And many negative thoughts accompanied him as well.

Just that, nothing more and nothing less!

"Bim, you heard no cave, shucks! Even bengong mulu. Your brain is still healing huh?!" chirps Rey, slapping Bima's back which feels very much his spine.

Rey even to the point of being surprised when she felt the presence of the bulge of the bones. But he did not ask Bima, because he did not want to stress Bima with the awkwardness he felt.

Rey was more afraid that Bima went again, than she had to harbor feelings of curiosity, about where and why Bima had disappeared for so long without any news that she left behind.

"Huh? What the hell are you talking about, Rey? Sorry ... sorry, the cave daydreams," said Bima, look to focus again.

Rey took a deep, rough breath and repeated her words, Arumi.

"Mending lu samperi the Arumi, geh. He was worried about you too. Ayang beb, the cave will meet. So ... tuh son is like a dazed nanyain lu mulu! Sampe got tired of the cave hear 'Bima where? Not back yet? There was no news' duh .. until there were 10 times two bacots so," complained Rey, telling Bima that Arumi was very worried about him.

Bima chuckled amusedly and nodded in understanding. "Okay, it'll be his samperi cave."
