TRAPPED IN META LOVE
Stadium 4

Meta walked in and approached Aunt Karoline who was sitting beside Rend's bed with tears she could not stand anymore. Meta saw Rendi lying helplessly with an infusion and a composite pouch attached in his hand.

"Tante, how's Rendi doing?" ask meta with a hoarse voice.

Karoline raised her face towards the meta, her eyes are usually sparkling typical of Karoline's beauty who despite being aged but still looks beautiful because of her smart self-care, which is very beautiful, but now what meta see is precisely the face of Karoline who pale with eyes carelessly. It could be guessed that Karoline waited for Rendi alone while crying.

Karoline immediately embraced the meta who had just arrived. As if both of them were releasing a burden in their respective hearts, both of them were shedding tears.

"You don't cry, I'm fine!"

Hearing the sound of karoline and meta instantly took off his embrace of each other and directly approached Rendi.

"Rendi...kamu why? What's that sick?" ask meta while grabbing Rendi's hand.

"I don't know, baby, I'm just tired. Don't worry, I'm fine!"

Rendi stroked the top of the meta head, while the meta powerless held back her tears and simply lowered her head hiding in her rendition hands.

"Hey, don't cry dong! I'm not papa, I'm just tired! You don't cry yah!"

Karoline could only stroke the back of the meta who was crying so much beside her.

"I can't see you like this?' said Rendi staring at the meta who was already crying as he pleased.

Karoline invites Devan to get out of the room letting the two of them.

"May Aunt talk to you for a minute!"

"By Auntie!"

Devan followed Karoline, arriving at the hospital's garden they looked for a seat there.

"You're Rendi's best friend and meta right?"

"Yes Aunt, I'm Devan. We have met before when I visited Rendi at the Aunty house in Indonesia. We were still in High School!'

"Tante knows because he heard your name several times from Rendi!"

"Maybe for Rendi I am her rival, because actually Rendi does not like if I am too close to the meta. But lately me and Rendi have been more familiar!"

"Devan, Auntie knows you must love meta like Rendi who also loves meta, and Auntie knows you and meta have been friends since High School. Actually Auntie invited you here Aunty would like to talk about the state of Rendi!"

" When can you tell how Rendi Aunty is doing?"

Karoline's face turned mute, for a moment she wasted her gaze in all directions while holding back her tears.

"Tante, if you can figure out what the current situation is!"

"Yesterday from the results of the doctor's examination said that Rendi leukemia disease has entered stage 4, medically the doctor said that Reni should undergo chemotherapy, chemotherapy, the doctor said if anyone can donate bone marrow for Rendi maybe it can also be an alternative cure!"

"Rendi has entered stage 4? Not that Rendi always checks up to the doctor, and not that the doctor says she's cured?"

" Aunty also does not know, a few years ago Rendi was declared cured, but lately he was too busy with his new project. Even he was busy finishing college while working hard, until he never again chekc up. Maybe because of his busy life, Rendi never paid attention to his health. He never checked again!'

Tears rolled back over Karoline's cheeks again.

"Then what can Devan help Auntie?"

"Tante doesn't know how to explain all this to the meta. Meta must be very sad if you know about the condition of Rendi now! Aunt can't afford a story to the meta!"

"Actually we also can not lie the same meta, because he must know about medical science, maybe without us telling him sooner or later he must know the condition of the real Rendi!"

"You're right, but Auntie can't talk this into the meta. It must be a sad meta, but meta is one of the sources of Rendi spirit, if he knows this meta will also be down!"

"Let Devan talk about the meta slowly, later try to find information about bone marrow donors for Rendi, who knows there are donors who want to donate bone marrow for Rendi!"

"Thank you Devan, Auntie knows you're a good boy. Even Auntie saw you were very sincere, especially when Aunt saw you deliver meta from Germany here for sure it all takes a lot of sacrifice that you do. Even Auntie knows you've sacrificed a lot of your feelings for meta happiness and Rendi. Auntie is so grateful to you Sam!"

"Tante together, anything will Devan lakainin to help Devan's friends!"

"It looks like it's going to rain, we should go back to Rendi's room, later if we take too long they'll find us,"

"Yes Auntie!"

Karoline and Devan headed to Rendi's room, when they arrived there they saw meta falling asleep beside Rendi still holding Rendi's hand. It appears that meta fell asleep due to the birth of travel and also tired of crying.

The joint had fallen asleep, probably due to the influence of drugs given by doctors a few hours ago.

Devan swiftly moved the meta to the long sofa that was next to Rendi's bed.

Devan felt pity with the meta who looked exhausted because from earlier on the way he just cried. Devan opens his jacket, sneaks it into the meta.

Aunty Karoline saw all of Devan's sincere attention to the meta, when she realized how Devan really felt on the meta. But Karoline could only hide it in her mind. Because maybe it could also hurt Rendi.

Karoline said goodbye to go home for a while to pick up some clothes at home, because from yesterday she did not come home because no one was keeping Rendi in the hospital. Now Karoline feels more relieved if there is a meta next to Rendi who can also take care of her.

After Karoline left, Devan tried to get closer sitting next to Rendi. Devan looked at Rendi's pale face.

"Hey bro.cepet healed ya!" whispered Devan.

"I really did not expect, behind you who look strong and healthy when playing basketball used to be fragile! I really didn't expect you to turn out this bad!"

Inexplicably devan actually remembered the past especially when the High School they both often fuss and match basketball.

"Even you're the only person who can win over my fans, back in high school I was just the coolest because I was famous, the head of the basketball team and I was the coolest! But after there you all changed, even the meta also prefers you over me!"

Devan is like talking to himself, even his tears are actually trying to hold him.

"But since I see meta happier with you, I sacrificed all my feelings for meta so he could be happy with you! Since I love meta so much, I can let meta be happy with you!"

Devan, who had spoken to himself, became unable to control his tears. It dawned on him who began to shed tears near Rendi .

"Damn!!Why am I crying? I'd better get some fresh air outside!"

Devan wipes away his tears and for him it is better he temporarily leaves the place. Devan came out of the room looking for some fresh air outside.

Perverted after Devan came out, Rendi opened her eyes. Rendi who from earlier pretended to be asleep accidentally heard everything said by Devan.

"I know Van, you love meta so much!" said Rendi while looking at the meta who was fast asleep on the sofa.
