The Injured
Injured Again

Since Radit came to Jakarta, meeting him and Echa is very intense. Like a couple who can't be separated. Moreover, the cheerful faces that were always etched on their faces.

However, this is the second day Radit has never heard of. Echa always asks Radit. However, all of his messages and calls were never answered.

Last time they met, Radit only said that he had to help his father in one of the hospitals in Jogja. He also did not know when he would be there.

Today, there will be a study tour to Batu City, Malang. There was a gurat of sadness on Echa's face because she couldn't meet Radit before she left. Moreover, almost the next five days Echa will be in Malang with other students.

"Everything's been taken?" Echa nodded in response to Ayanda's question.

"This is why Echa nganter a lot of really. I'm rich to want to umroh, "gututu.

Who delivered Echa there was his Mommy And Daddy, his Mother and also his Father, Sheza and also Azka and Arya and also Beby.

"People are happy" said Arya as she softened Echa's head.

"The difference is Om, it's clay," pointed Echa at the students who were looking at him.

"On the lookout all towards us," he continued.

The group will leave, not to forget Echa saying goodbye to the people who drove him. After Echa kissed Arya's hand, her hand looked straight at Arya. Arya was just upset.

He pulls out his wallet, but Echa's hand speed exceeds that of a copet. With a big smile, Echa took all the money in Arya's red and blue wallet. Only the purple and brown colored money that Echa left.

"Small are robbing the boy." Everyone laughed too. Surprisingly, Arya instead of taking the wallet in Echa's hand just let it go.

While on the way to Malang, Echa was silent. While his other friends are fun to joke and also sing ria.

After a 12-hour drive they finally arrived at the inn. The tired and lethargic faces were very visible on the faces of the students.

Echa checked his phone. But Radit never returned a message from Echa. Even though it's blue tick. Echa should be more patient now.

The next day, the group headed to the Museum Angkut. They were heading to several places this day. And the dense activities also make Echa a little forget about her sadness.

Joking laughter with his friends and other students can make Echa forget all her heartbreak.

They return when night falls. Just tired that Echa felt. Now all he has in mind is rest.

This is the last day Echa was in Malang. In the evening there were three classes who ordered a cafe for them to relax before they left for Jakarta. Includes Echa class.

The atmosphere of the cafe tonight is quite quiet. Because today is not the weekend. They are busy chatting, taking pictures because the cafe is in an instragamable design.

Until Sasa nudged Echa's hand hard enough. Makes Echa look at him. Sasa just pointed with his chin. And Echa followed the direction of Sasa's chin.

His face is starting to look. Her tears began to grow and her chest felt tight. However, Doni breaks Echa's view and pulls her onto the stage, which is usually used by cafe singers.

"The old cave doesn't sing" said Doni.

"But ...."

Doni immediately pulled Echa's hand making all the students who saw her clap happily. From the stage, Echa saw very clearly the person who made her chest throbbing pain. Moreover, with a smile that expands from his lips. This almost weekly smile Echa missed.

"Ngapain dumbfounded?" Doni nudged Echa's hand. Doni has an acoustic guitar.

Echa also whispered the song he would bring to Doni and Doni nodded.

The guitar passages produced a melodious tone making everyone stare at the two of them. No exception couples who are at the corner table.

"It's still ABG who ngamennya." The man who was enjoying his order turned his head towards the stage. His heart stopped beating. Moreover, the beads of their eyes met.

🎶

I never expected

I never suspected

And I never thought

It turns out you are two

If he could

Make you happy

Even though my heart is hurt

I'm willing

I'll try

Even though I am disappointed

I accept ....

Echa looked down deeply and the man stared fixedly at Echa, who he knew was crying.

"It hurts so much the heart of the cave" said Mima.

"He sings from the heart" said Sasa as he glanced at Radit and a woman who was staring at Echa.

After the song she sang was done, Echa rushed down and went straight to the bathroom. Her tears also shed.

"Jogja? Is this the City of Jogja?" he muttered in a very disappointed tone.

After her heart calmed down, Echa came out of the bathroom and washed her face. He looked at his face in the mirror.

Am I destined to be hurt? A smile full of wounds he showed.

Echa steps away from the bathroom however, her hand is pulled by someone and takes her out of the cafe.

"Let go" cried Echa.

"Thank me ...."

"You're happier with him. I'm sincere, happy for him," cut Echa.

"He's my patient" Radit said.

"Will the patient hold the doctor's hand? Is he a special patient?" Echa's words pierced Radit's heart.

"I don't want to get hurt more. I'd better go, maybe it's normal that I was betrayed just a little bit more unfortunately." Echa leaves Radit and he decides to get on his bus.

This is where he spills all his sadness and pain. The bus is dark and there is only Echa in it. The softness was so audible that the embrace of his two best friends made him unable to hold back his crying.

"There's still a cave with Mima who will always be faithful beside you."

While in front of the cafe, there was already a commotion. Riza violently slammed into Radit's face until his nose spewed out fresh blood.

"Gua thought you'd be happyin El, it turns out you're no more a jerk than a cave," he snapped.

Along the way home, Echa stayed more. His heart is very sick. The person he was waiting for even made his heart ache.

🎶

You're closing our love story

When I was being affectionate

Is there another one?

Which gave me everything I didn't have

You're wrapping up our love story

When I was being affectionate

Now I can't force

But I have to say

My heart is wounded

Hearing her friends sing the song made Echa's tears unstoppable. A clear thread dripped down at the end of his eyes.

Sasa and Mima immediately embraced Echa's body. He knew Echa wasn't okay.

"Don't you ever hide your pain from both of us." Echa also returned Mima and Sasa's embrace.

"Died after it unfortunately turned out to be sick, yes," he said.
