The Injured
Traitors

Upon arrival at home, Echa is greeted by the Mamah. The warm embrace of the Mamah that he now desperately needed.

"Why are you, brother?" Echa just shook her head.

The look on his face could not be hidden from the mama. Ayanda was very clear to see the look of sadness on her daughter's face.

"There's Radit inside." Hearing Radit's name made his heart ache. Moreover, he saw for himself how Radit was with a woman he had seen. However, he had forgotten where their meeting took place back then.

"Echa wants a break, Mah," he refused.

Ayanda frowned in wonder, why is Echa like this. But he and Radit hadn't seen each other in a long time.

Echa entered his house and did not turn to Radit who was in the backyard, so did Radit who was unaware of the presence of Echa. Because he's busy with his flat objects.

"What's wrong with you guys?" Ayanda murmur.

Echa locked her room from the inside, she really wants to be alone right now. Enjoying the new wounds that Radit had just scratched.

"I thought you were a good man, but you only came to make me fall in love. Then, go and be happy with the others even though here I'm hurt."

Echa slowly closed her eyes, tired and sick as one. Finally, he gave up and chose to enter the dreamland. I hope that tomorrow everything will come back as it was.

Downstairs, Radit moved from his seat. He said goodbye to Ayanda because there are critical patients who need her help.

Meet me at the regular cafe.

That's the message Radit sent to Echa. Radit knows Echa's back. He sees and hears the conversation between Echa and Ayanda. Echa went into the house, she knew. It's just, Radit doesn't want to make a scene in people's homes. Echa's emotions are unstable.

At seven o'clock in the night, Echa just opened her eyes. He spread out his hands that felt sore because he had been asleep for quite a long time.

"Echa home yet?" ask Gio who just got home from the office.

"It's been, but it looks like something's wrong with our daughter."

The scream of the beautiful girl made Gio and Ayanda turn towards Echa. Without warning, Echa hugged the body of the father. Gio was very sure, Echa was having a problem.

"You haven't slept in a long time, Radit came home. He said there's a patient who needs his help." Echa nodded slowly.

"Echa up, Mah, Pah," she said.

Inside her room, Echa opens the door that connects to her bedroom balcony. He looked at the night sky that looked cloudy, like his gloomy heart.

Echa checks his phone, but he ignores Radit's messages and calls. He's not ready to meet Radit. His heart still hurts and hurts. His existence with the woman still rests on Echa's head.

"Sister" the call from the father made Echa aware of her pain.

"There is a Rival who wants to see you" said Gio.

Echa just fell silent, and she knew for sure Radit's older brother wanted to explain Radit's relationship with the woman.

"Meet me, Brother."

In the end, Echa complied with Gio's request. He went down to meet Rival. Rival smiles towards Echa, replying with a forced smile by her.

"Aren't you sent by Radit to get here?" ask Echa.

Rival just handed over a piece of mail to Echa. Echa just stared at the letter without taking it.

"Radit's back at Ausi." The letter that Echa held fell. He just smiled wryly.

"I just delivered the letter. I'm saying goodbye" said Rival.

Echa's body couldn't support her aching heart. He was also sitting with a face that was very difficult to decipher.

He looked at the letter in his hand. Slowly his hand opened the letter.

I'm sorry, I didn't say good to you. Because I know you're angry. I left because a patient needed my help. I am responsible for his recovery.

Sorry, honey, I didn't say that after coming from Jogja I had to go to Malang to see my brother there. And what you see is my patient. I was told by Papih to take her out because she was going through a deep trauma. I just consider him a little brother to be nothing more than that.

For chats and calls that I never answered, my phone actually missed at home. And luckily Rival secured my phone.

I actually wanted to hug you, but I knew your emotions were unstable. Better, I wrote this letter. Because I'm sure my messages and calls will never be answered.

Wait for me to come back, honey. Believe me, I still keep my heart only for you. I promise I'll erase all that sadness of yours when I get back.

I LOVE YOU - I LOVE

This time Echa was confused, must believe or not with Radit's words that he wrote in this letter.

"Don't be too trusting, all men are the same" he murmured.

The days continued to change, slowly Echa got used to Radit's absence beside her. He was also used to the lack of news from Radit. Echa wants to try to forget Radit slowly. Although, no he denied he still misses Radit beside him.

"It's okay, isn't it?" ask Mima.

Echa gave her sweet smile. Making Doni who accidentally saw Echa's smile was stunned.

"Don't smile like that, Cha. Your smile makes a cave of diabetes." Cheers from other students were heard, making Echa even laugh to see Doni meet face.

"The next Riza," Sasa said.

"Don't liken the cave to Riza, the cave is a loyal type of guy," he seems.

"Every bend is there" said Sasa.

"About!" Doni is the head of Sasa. Replied again by Mima.

"Udah, no. The hungry cave. Let's go to the cafeteria."

Doni even followed the three women making everyone wonder.

"Since when was Doni close to Echa?" whispered the students.

Upon arriving at the canteen, Echa only realized that Doni had followed him and also Sasa and Mima.

"What the hell are you following the cave?" ask Echa.

"Everytime eat with you the same two pieces you are okay," he added.

Sasa and Mima shake Doni's head together. "Set dah, your executioner is so bad. Long time nutmeg cave geger brain, nih," lamented Doni.

"Lebay lu, just gotiniin doang as well," exclaimed Sasa who had brought back Doni's head.

"Oh Allah Sa, play it don't head can not be?"

"Sir" said Sasa and Mima together.

Echa also laughed freely to see Doni who was persecuted by his two friends. There were eyes filled with jealous flames staring fixedly at the table that was occupied by Echa and his three friends.

"Traitor," he exclaimed.
