Love, take my side
The Events of Ten Years Ago

The three-hour journey that reminded Evan of what happened ten years ago has finally arrived. After emptying the schedule for a full day, Evan and Rico travel to the small town.

The flashback

Evan, Rico, Adelia and three other friends plan to take a trip. The six of them are college friends. The journey was well thought out. The tour is more precisely mentioned by touring because the six people drive by riding a large motorbike from the City to the tourist attractions that they will stop by later. This isn't the first. Each semester they completed the six of them would travel like this with different tourist destinations.

They left town early in the morning. There was no inkling of anything regarding their journey this time. The weather supported their journey. The three big motors eventually drove off the city. Evan was joined by Rico while Adelia was joined by Rudi who was her lover at that time. Two other friends named Satria also joined his girlfriend named Mutia.

The journey they took was a road they had not expected before. As the first person to cross a road that could be said to be dangerous like this, Rico complained to Evan. If they want, there is actually another road that they can go through which is certain with a longer distance to the first tourist spot they will visit. But the scenery is so beautiful and the faster time makes them decide to go through the road. Different from Rico. Evan and the others are more challenged to conquer the road. Finally a winding journey they can pass without any obstacles.

They enjoy the view at the first tourist spot they visit. They are at high altitude. Below it is a green lowland because the trees are still lush. From the gap of the trees they can see the roof of the roof of the people's house. What a beautiful view plus cool air.

The two couples who became Tim from the trip were the couple Adelia Dan Rudi also satria and Mutia took advantage of the beautiful moment. The cold air made them sit close together to give each other warmth. While Rico and Evan enjoy hot coffee to expel the cold from their bodies.

The journey continued because the sun had started to rise. There are still two other tourist attractions that they will visit later. They had already made plans before nine o'clock in the evening to arrive home. Because Evan did not ask permission to mama Anita and Rendra will travel this time. Because if you ask permission. Mama Anita will definitely not allow because it is too dear to Evan.

"It's so beautiful" said Adelia after they arrived at a clear watery lake. Rudi who was nearby also smiled a sign of agreeing with his lover's opinion on the beauty of the lake.

Not far from them Evan and Rico were already preparing to swim.

"Aren't you planning on swimming?" ask Rudi to Adelia. Adelia shook her head. He'd rather sit close like this than swim.

"When I want to join them," said Rudi while pointing at Evan and Rico who had been swimming. Mutia and Satria are also seen approaching the beach to swim.

"Don't we put it this way" Adelia said as she hugged Rudi's body tightly. They sat on a large rock not far from the shore with a large tree that protected the two men from the scorching sun.

Rudi smiled at the behavior of his lover. Adelia is known among their friends as a spoiled woman figure. He also loved his girlfriend very much.

An hour passed. Four people who were busy swimming were still seen swimming. The cold water of the lake seemed not a barrier for them to enjoy the beauty of God's creation.

"Dear baby, allow me to swim" said Rudi again. The invitation of four of their friends to swim could not be granted by Rudi because of the attitude of his lover.

"No. Lookie!. They're done, too" pointed Adelia out. All four of their friends were seen coming out of the water. But Adelia's guess was wrong. The four friends were lying on the sand and laughing while rolling on the dry white sand. After being satisfied playing sand Evan and his three friends again throw themselves into the water. They make their own game in the water so it looks exciting.

It took an hour for the four humans to satisfy themselves in the water. Evan first gave up and got out of the water. The man quickly entered the bathroom provided the tour pengeola.

"Why don't you swim. Rarely is there a chance or nothing for us to go to this place again. After graduation and work. We must be busy with work or with family" Evan said. Now he sat on a stone smaller than the rock where Adelia and Rudi were sitting.

"He who doesn't allow me" said Rudi with a face made purportedly crying. Adelia quickly grabbed the head of her lover and buried it in her armpit. The pair of lovers made Evan laugh.

"What's the next plan?" ask Evan. It doesn't feel like three o'clock.

"We're going back to the city now. Get them out of the water. If we go to the third tourist spot, we can be sure if we will not reach the house at nine," replied Rudi. From this place to the City had already taken five hours.

Evan agrees with Rudi's proposal. Satria and Mutia disagreed with the proposal. They decided to continue their journey and will return to the City tomorrow. Evan actually did not want to go home quickly either. But she also did not want to make Mama Anita worry.

"alright. Continue your journey. Have fun" Evan told Mutia and Satria. They were ready to continue their journey in a different direction.

Two large motorcycles were headed for the city. This time Evan who carries a motorbike and Rico sat quietly in the balcony without the need to concentrate on looking at the road. In front of them, Rudi and Adelia led their way This time. Adelia hugged her lover's body tightly and leaned her head against Rudi's back. Adelia enjoys the view of the street on her right.

An hour at the beginning of the journey there are no obstacles at all. But when they had already approached their County City through the public road. It's not just four-wheeled vehicles or two-wheelers that go through that road. The truck carrying the produce passed on the causeway.

Evan was consciously very concentrated through that path. In the middle of his concentration Evan felt surprised and lost concentration to see the motor driven by Rudi nudged the truck that was about to pass through it. Rudi did not make it through the truck that he had actually fallen with his motorbike. Adelia is thrown to the side of the road while Rudi falls in the middle of the road.

Evan was nervous. He forgot to step on the brakes to see the sad reality his friend was experiencing. I don't know what was on Evan's mind at that time what happened was precisely him and Rico also fell after grinding Rudi's body. Evan doesn't know what else is going on with him.

Tomorrow morning. Evan had a sad reality all his life. His companion Rudi died on the spot. While he had just passed critically due to the accident. Rico was also injured but not as badly as Evan.

Evan was, of course, devastated to get that reality. Suppose he was more concentrated maybe he did not grind his friend's body. Or maybe Rudi is still alive. Evan not only felt pain in his body due to the severe injuries. His right thighs looked smaller due to the amount of meat wasted due to the accident. Seeing herself, Evan hysterically goes along with her very sick heart losing her best friend.

Evan's crying. He was more crying for Rudi's departure than he was. In the midst of his heart's sadness. Evan arrives to remember Rudi and Adelia. He did not know the condition of his two friends.

"Suster, besides me and my friend Rudi. There were still two of my friends who were involved in the accident" Evan told the nurse who had just given her breakfast. The sister also told Evan about the news of Rudi whose body had been taken by the family last night.

"really. They're in the treatment room. They're also hurt, but not so bad."

"Can the nurse take me to the room of one of my friends?.

"You better not have to move much. The female victim who was in an accident with you guys wasn't too bad. He only had a minor injury to his head. I'll call him into this room."

Evan nodded his head in agreement. He breathed a sigh of relief at least among them there were those who were not as badly injured as him.

A few minutes from the nurse's departure from the room. Adelia appears before Evan. The woman could walk only a small bandage that was on her left temple.

"Evan, Rudi is gone" Adelia said in tears. Her swollen eyes could be sure if the woman must have cried one night. Evan could see the deep sadness of the woman.

"I already know Adelia. Why we are having this sad journey. Suppose I knew this was the journey that took Rudi's life. I'm not going on this trip."

Evan could only regret the decision of this trip. The two humans were seen crying because of Rudi's departure.

"What about Rico?" evan asked weakly after being satisfied with crying.

"His leg is broken."

Evan turned his face to hear the news about his best friend.

"Why are you still here. Don't you want to see Rudi's body buried?" ask Evan again. If he doesn't have that parag injury. Evan will try to get his best friend to the final resting place.

"If I had gone with her body last night. You can be sure if you also do not survive," said Adelia made Evan immediately see the face of the lover of her friend.

"What are you doing Adelia. Thanks in advance for helping me."

"You've lost a lot of blood. I donated my blood so that you could survive," Adelia said as she lowered her head.

"Thank you Adelia. I promise to repay this kindness. Tell me what you want" said Evan. Evan is grateful to have a friend like Adelia who sacrificed for him. He observes Adelia's face looking very pale which convinces him if Adelia gives blood to him.

"Don't call my mom. I'll hitch a ride to Rico's family later" Evan replied quickly. In a state of severe pain like this Evan is still thinking of his parents so as not to worry about his condition.

"alright. I'd better ask the hospital to move us from this hospital to that hospital in the city. But I'm constrained by costs" Adelia said again.

"Did you see my stuff?" ask Evan. Adelia nodded her head.

"In my wallet there is Atm. I think the money in it is enough to cost the three of us. Take the money" said Evan. He was unable to walk due to a severe injury to his right thigh. Evan is relieved that Adelia can take care of the hospital fees and also transfer them from the hospital.

During the day, Evan and Rico are transferred from the hospital. Adelia was so reliable that their process of getting out of the hospital was no obstacle. Towards the City, they had to go back through the road where they had crashed. Evan felt almost unable to breathe just passing through that path. The shadow of the shadow before last night's accident was very clearly remembered in his mind.

"We have to be strong, Evan," said Adelia, holding Evan's hand. Evan lay in the car with a special bed that could be placed in the ambulance. Rico was in another ambulance with no friends or family present. Rico also decided not to tell his family in advance about the accident.

"I'm afraid of Adelia" said Evan weakly. His fearful face was already adorned with tears.

"Evance Evan. Don't let my sacrifice go to waste because you can't get rid of that fear in your heart. We can definitely get through it" Adelia said in tears. Adelia stroked her friend's hair so that Evan could sleep without feeling the journey. And sure enough, either because of the drugs or Adelia's caress, Evan is now asleep.

"Evan, there's no other way. We're already in this town. Your parents should know your current situation. Rico's parents are already in this hospital" Adelia said after Evan was already lying in bed in the treatment room.

"Alright Adelia. Please just call my papa." Evan agrees and mentions Rendra's office number. Adelia quickly contacted Rendra by borrowing the hospital's phone.

Within an hour, Evan's room was already filled with cries. Mama Anita, Aunt Tiara, and Rieta's grandmother were taken to the hospital after hearing Evan's accident. They hysterically saw Evan's condition especially looking at his right thigh.

"Why is it like this?" ask Rendra. He's the only guy who's seen Evan at the moment.

Adelia recounts the chronology from the beginning of the journey until the accident occurred. Everyone in the room looked sad to learn that the trip was not only an accident but also the loss of one of their friends.

The women look grateful that Evan is still alive.

"Evan also barely survived aunt. He's lost a lot of blood. I chose to donate blood to Evan instead of bringing my girlfriend's body back home" Adelia said at the end of the story.

Hearing Adelia's confession. Rendra looked at Adelia and said a sincere thank you. While Mama Anita immediately embraced Adelia as a very sincere thank you.

"Thank you son.. Thank you Adelia. I didn't expect you to sacrifice so far for Evan as opposed to carrying your lover's body" Anita's mother said, hugging Adelia.

"It's actually hard for me to choose between donating blood to Evan and delivering Rudi's aunt's body. I love her so much. I chose to donate blood to Evan because I didn't want any other victims. Bringing Rudi's body will not change anything about Rudi. But donating blood to Evan will change his critical condition as it is today."

Mama Anita was amazed to hear Adelia's words. He rubbed the woman's arm to relieve the sadness of the woman who still looked sad.

"Thank you for your sacrifice, son." It was the only thing that came out of Rieta's grandmother's mouth. A thank you that is not excessive. While Aunt Tiara did not say anything because it was still in shock to see the state of Evan.

The grief of the Evan family is not just there. After the doctor checked on Evan. The doctor actually made a statement that made the family stunned and unwilling. Doctors proposed that Evan's leg be amputated starting from the thigh. The condition of the thigh was already severely injured and only the thin flesh that wrapped the bone was very thin hope to heal except amputation.

Just like family. Evan is also not willing if his right leg is not amputated. He cried because he regretted not being able to keep God's gift. He was born perfect. But because I can't help myself having fun. Will he become a disabled person?.

Thinking about it, Evan thought that he would rather die than suffer the loss of one leg. The support of the family did not make him agree if his right leg was amputated. He thought it was because of his right foot that he would die better like that than a cripple.

But again Adelia became his helper again. That's how Evan judged Adelia after feeling the woman's actions.

"Evan, there was a friend of my brother who had an accident like you. His leg was amputated but thanks to a potion. The meat on his leg can grow again even if it's not perfect" Adelia said one day after Evan had been hospitalized in the city.

"What a banquet is Adelia. Please find me the potion." Evan seemed to find his passion for life to hear Adelia's story.

"I've brought the potion for you. I had my papa look for this potion that was only in her hometown," Adelia said as she picked something up from inside her bag. He took out a few small folds from inside his bag.

"That's the powder?" evan asked with a happy face. Adelia nodded her head.

"Yes. You took a shower, right?. Evan nodded his head. Before Adelia's arrival. She was bathed by the male nurse.

Adelia uncovers the blanket covering Evan's thigh. Then he sprinkled the fine herb into the injured thigh area.

"You don't worry. This herb must be potent," Adelia said again. Evan assures Adelia's words in the heart.

And sure enough, after a one-week routine sprinkled the potion on Evan's thigh after a shower. Evan could see the meat on his thighs growing. Initially small to almost similar tabalnya with meat that is still left on the outside of the right thigh.

Evan was so happy and grateful. The doctor who treated him looked amazed at his miraculous health development. Adelia and Evan did not tell Evan's family about the potion nor did they go to the doctor. Evan is discharged from the hospital and needs to be discharged once a week to the hospital.

"Adelia, thank you. If there is no you. I don't know what happened to me" Evan said after he was home. Adelia came to the house every day after one month when Evan came home from the hospital.

Adelia just smiled then lowered her head.

"What do you want. I don't want to just thank you for all your help. You're my helper goddess" said Evan again. They sat face to face on the sofa in the living room.

"Evan, if you ask me what I want. Of course I want Rudi back with me. But that's impossible isn't it?" adelia said with glassy eyes.

"I miss him Evan. I miss the figure of Rudi. Can you replace Rudi in my life?" adelia asked Evan in surprise. He understood that Adelia was still sad over Rudi's departure which was still a matter of months. But to be a substitute for the figure of Rudi in Adelia's life never occurred to him.

Evan was silent not knowing what to answer Adelia's wishes. To say no certainly can't be because it's heartbreaking to remember all the woman's kindness.

"Well, if you can't. Maybe this is the last time I'll visit this house."

Adelia got up from her seat and grabbed her bag which was located on the sofa. His face was also covered with tears.

"Wait for Adelia" said Evan after Adelia had almost reached the main door.The woman stopped without turning her body.

"All right, I'm ready. But not Rudi's replacement. I'm still Evan who will accompany your day."

Evan finally decided to say that. He just thought if it wasn't for Adelia somehow becoming what she is now.

Adelia walked quickly towards Evan. She hugged Evan tightly without stopping her crying.

The day goes on. Evan and Adelia have officially become lovers. The spoiled attitude and attention of Adelia turned out to make Evan fall in love with the woman. She reciprocates Adelia's love with material that Rudi could not give her all her life to Adelia.
