The Injured
Too Old

The days passed were full of happiness. However, after the retirement event ended Radit and Echa's relationship was getting closer. The two families knew each other and gave the green light. Moreover, Genta Wiguna became very happy about the news of his grandson's closeness with the youngest son Addhitama.

Genta Wiguna is a friend of Addhitama. Little Radit Genta has admired Radit. A very different child than the others. Plus the hospitality that makes Genta more like it.

Today, Radit no longer goes to the office. He stays with the activities at his college. He was already a young psychologist, but he was unwilling to open a practice. He would only help doctors who needed his services at the hospital where his father practiced. Because many patients when diagnosed with a serious disease will definitely be stressed. Radit will invite the patients to chat and forget for a moment the disease.

In addition to being a psychologist, Radit wants to take medical college. According to him, doctors and psychologists are continuous. Doctors can heal the sick and psychologists can heal the sick mind.

Hearing Radit's ideals, Rindra uses this opportunity to accelerate Radit's departure to London. Radit was going to college there, but Radit only asked to study in Canberra.

"Dit, to the Papih room. Papih wants to talk," said Addhitama.

Radit who was relaxing also followed his papih steps. He sat right in front of her.

"What's up, Pih?"

"The wean has prepared all your equipment, and you are accepted to Oxford University." Radit's eyes glared perfectly.

"I-I mean what Papih?"

"You want to pursue medical school. Papih already registered you there." Radit just shook his head.

"Radit only wants to study at Ausi, not in London. You know that" said Radit.

"There is better than the university in Canberra" Rindra said.

Radit stared intently at Rindra. He was sure, this was on Rindra's recommendation. Because Rindra did go to Oxford.

"Why don't you guys just send me to the North Pole? Let me get further and further away from you guys" he added. Radit passed away leaving behind his papih and also Rindra.

There was pain in Addhitama's heart hearing Radit's speech. He knew Radit wasn't ready to go. Moreover, Rindra also likes Radit's lover. That's what makes Radit so heavy.

Radit closed his eyes for a moment. Then he snatched the motorbike key on the nightstand. He put on his jacket and left. Addhitama knew Radit was angry. So, he just let it go.

He was at the Echa residence. He is warmly welcomed by Ayanda and Gio.

"Echa in Dit's room" said Ayanda.

"Can Radit go to his room?"

"Come in, there is CCTV in the room" said Gio.

Radit laughed too. "Radit ain't that big, Om." Gio laughed too.

He saw Echa enjoying the afternoon air on the balcony. He approached Echa and placed his head directly on Echa's shoulder.

"Loh, Bhal. K ...."

"Let it be like this first" Radit said. He held Echa's hand and placed Echa's hand on her chest.

Echa felt a little strange with this kind of Radit attitude. Never had Radit been this spoiled as long as they were in a relationship.

"Bhal, what's wrong?" ask Echa.

Radit just stared at Echa and she laid her head on Echa's feet. He hugged Echa's waist tightly. Not a word came out of Radit's mouth. This is Radit's weakest side.

Echa only let out a rough sigh and her hand continued to caress Radit's hair. Radit falls asleep in Echa's lap.

"What are you feeling, Bhal?" muttered.

Ayanda went into Echa's room, she was a little surprised to see Radit sleeping on her daughter's lap. Echa just put her finger over her lips. Ayanda nodded slowly.

Echa was still focused on her phone until Radit's head moved and hugged Echa's waist tightly.

Echa gently rubbed Radit's hair back and a smooth snoring was heard. Echa doesn't know Radit's past.

An hour later, Radit woke up. Her lips smiled when she saw the beautiful face of Echa from below.

"What are you again?" radit asked with a heavy voice.

"Wake up!?" Radit tried to sit down.

"It must have hurt, yes," Radit said, holding Echa's leg.

"It's okay, Bhal. You look so tired anyway" she said.

"It's okay" replied Radit.

Echa laid her head on Radit's shoulder. "Nothing you've ever hidden from me" he added.

Radit smiled and hugged Echa's waist. "Yes, honey." He's pecking Echa's head.

Moments like this are moments she will miss. What about the connection? Does Echa want LDR?

"Bhul, yuk street. We'll watch," he asked.

"Who's got a new movie?"

"I don't know, but we never watch both." For a moment Echa thought, it is true what Radit said. And Echa agreed.

"I'll change clothes first, yeah." Radit nodded.

As long as Echa changed clothes, Radit could only stare forward with a blank look. He thinks of Echa without her.

"Bhal, I'm ready." Radit approached Echa, Echa looks very beautiful with hair draped like that.

"I wash my face first."

When they finished, they went downstairs. Ayanda and Gio are in the dining room.

"Where are you going?" ask Ayanda.

"You watch Mah. I haven't been out for a long time" said Echa.

"Be careful, take care of princess Om" said Gio.

"Ready Commander." Radit kisses Gio and Ayanda's hands before they leave.

"Well, it's okay, right?" Echa just smiled.

"What do I look like is a matre girl?" Radit laughed too. He put his jacket on Echa's body. In the trunk of Radit motorbike is indeed stored a special jacket for Echa wear.

They both enjoy the twilight. Echa's hand was tightly coiled around Radit's waist, and Radit's other hand gently rubbed Echa's back.

They arrived at the mall parking lot. Radit unlocks Echa's helmet and tidies Echa's hair. Echa smiled at Radit.

Radit tightly grasped Echa's hand. They joked and laughed along with the hands that remained intertwined.

When Radit buys a movie ticket, Echa meets Rindra with her secretary. The woman who made Echa angry with Radit.

"Who is Cha?" ask Rindra.

"Sama Radit, Brother. He bought another ticket" replied Echa.

Echa was already uncomfortable being here. Moreover Rindra looked at him with an unreadable gaze.

"How long have you been with Radit?" Suddenly Sisi opened his voice.

"Dear." Radit was already beside Echa and grabbed Echa's waist.

"His buying?"

"Udah, let's eat first. It's still an hour" he said. Echa nodded and Radit deliberately grasped Echa's hand with his message in front of Rindra and Sisi.

"Why are they here?" muttered Radit.

"I don't know, Bhal."

They sit at Echa's favorite fast food restaurant. "Keep your heart for me, yes." Echa smiled and nodded.

"He's too old for me" Echa whispered to Radit. They laugh together too.

Radit stared at Echa's bead very deeply. "Bhul actually I ...."
