Trapped in the Past
Do Not Open the Wound

"Yet your father will arrive soon. I've asked Mr. Miko to pick him up." Ruri sipped her drink again. "So, how do you explain this situation to your father, Kagami?" ask him to the pale-faced man.

Kagami sighed heavily, looking up at the ceiling while thinking. "It looks like I'm going to lie. Tell me if this is a nosy thug that I accidentally kicked. If I tell you the truth, it will be a double-edged sword for me."

"alright. So, Mirai and Alita you don't want to go home? It's late in the afternoon, you better change your clothes and then we'll see you here again tonight."

Ruri's proposal was well received. Alita and Mirai prepare to go home.

"Kagami, don't forget to eat. Your face is ashen as a zombie," Alita sneered before her body disappeared behind the door.

Kagami smiled faintly as he closed his eyes. 'Really worried, ' his mind said.

After feeling his friend far away. Ruri suddenly kicked the gurney where Kagami was lying. "Loser lu. Expressing feelings at this time. You know, your face is like a zombie in love!" tease Ruri and laugh off.

Kagami's face is heating up. He's even more embarrassed. "How else, the atmosphere is too urgent so I'm honest," Kagami replied glancing in the other direction.

Ruri regulated her breathing. "But you should know. From when you were found unconscious at the boarding house, until you woke up. As long as it's a bit Alita doesn't talk to us. He keeps nangisin you. At least make it a more romantic atmosphere, suck! Absolutely a disgrace of a lifetime!"

"Eh, really? So Alita's crying for me?"

Instead of being embarrassed, this time Kagami sounded proud of his words.

"You're a good fit, watch out if you don't get married!" rauri Ancam.

"Ruri said what the hell, anyway. Still a kid, woi, just not working yet!" bela Kagami bore the shame, while Ruri again laughed mockingly at him.

"It looks like we're interrupting, huh?"

The sound of Ruri's laughter stopped. A middle-aged man and a middle-aged woman entered the room. They are Febriante Oved and Shanala who came at the same time.

"Sorry mama was late, the road was jammed."

Shanala hugged her son, then moved to embrace Kagami carefully. "Have you done well, son? Don't move much yet." She's anxious.

"Eh, dad's boy is crying because of such a small wound?" febriante's guru caught the water in the corner of Kagami's eye.

"No, I was laughing until I almost cried" said Kagami, Febriante laughing at the shy behavior of his adopted son.

The man in a gray t-shirt sat next to Kagami, watching his adopted son more closely. His eyes examined the rest of Kagami's body, and no one was hurt. Only his head was bandaged. He can be relieved now.

"What's going on, Kagami?" tanyakanya.

Kagami's lips moved, stringing up the sentence he had planned ahead of time. All of that happened due to the actions of thugs that he accidentally disturbed. That's it, there's no other story.

"We cry when we're hurt?"

"Of course not. You think I'm a crybaby?"

Every boy Febriante foster is educated into a person who is independent, strong and respectful to women. Should not hit women or play rough with them, because as men they were created to protect women.That is what Febriante taught and instilled in the child he foster.

"I'm sorry, my husband can't come. So, I represent," said Syanala.

"It's okay. A small wound like this is nothing to worry about. Licked also healed," said Febriante.

The man who became Kagami's adoptive father was very famous for being friendly, jovial and a joking hobby. However, behind this side Febriante is a person who is firm in educating.

Ruri and Kagami's families talk to each other warmly. While outside, Mirai and Alita have not yet left the hospital due to being intercepted by Vikram.

"Come on, I beg you. Give me the number of the sweet glasses, "please Vikram once again. "Your friends, right, must have her number."

The two girls in front of Vikram were caught off guard. Alita and Mirai leave immediately, but the man in the white coat stands right in front of them until their access road is closed.

"Om, you'd better stop calling Ruri sweet glasses. Om has no right to call her that," Alita sneered in a flat tone.

Vikram frowned not understanding. "Why? The call was made the first time I met him. She's a really sweet girl. And one more thing, don't call me om. I'm not that old."

"If you want to get to know Ruri more deeply, you should dare to talk directly with her. Do not seek out an intermediary from someone. Sorry, Sis. Excuse me." Mirai nudges Vikram's body while pulling Alita away from there.

Vikram is happy that someone called him by his brother's call, besides Om. "All right, I was wrong. Excuse me. But may I know who Ruri's always been in this hospital?"

The man in the white coat looked back. The two girls there stopped after hearing his voice return.

"Om can ask yourself Ruri," Alita replied. "One more thing, do not call Ruri with sweet glasses. Because it'll only open up his old wounds."

After saying it Mirai and Alita left from there, entering the taxi that was already waiting. In Taxi Mirai asked. He was also confused by the meaning of Alita's words just now.

"Who does Ruri often look at this hospital, Alita?"

"You will know the answer directly from Ruri. Just be patient waiting for a few more days, my hunch says that Ruri will tell you everything in the near future.

***

It's getting darker. Now only Febriante and Kagami live in the room.

The man in gray shirt walked over to the window, closing the curtains that were still open. Before that he took the time to stare at the streets full of people passing by for a while.

"You don't eat, Kagami? Aunt Syanala has bought you porridge. Eat, your face looks very pale" Febriante said.

Kagami looked at the bowl of porridge that was still wrapped neatly. He felt weak, but his appetite was not yet there.

"Yes, I'll eat it later, Dad. My friends promised to come back to pick me up."

Febriante smiled, then turned to look at his adopted son. "You have a good friend. Girls are all your friends?" He held back a laugh as he said the last sentence of his question.

"Of course not, Dad. But it just so happens that the people who know me best are just the three of them." Kagami lowered his head to hide the twinkle of his adoptive father's eyes.

"Dad. When I passed out earlier, I vaguely saw my past. You found me on the beach, didn't you?" he kept locking Febriante's eyeballs.
