My First Love Story
Episode 69

“Here am I?” kezia asked himself.

At the moment he felt he was in a glass room that had no doors. Everything looked dark even Kezia could not see his own palm.

In the distance, Kezia saw a beam of light that seemed to be walking closer towards him. A person with a glowing face approached him seemed to approach him.

“Hay de... What are you doing here?” Asked a shadow that was none other than the shadow of his late brother.

“Kakak? Brother ko can be here? “ Tanya Kezia who tried to approach Dika, but her legs felt heavy. “Kak, please zia...” continued Kezia while putting his hand on Dika.

Dika approached and held Kezia's hand tightly. “Come sister help wake up zia.. You should get out of here immediately, gag should you be here” Dika help kezia stand up and clean it up. “See, everyone is waiting for you to come home, do you gag miss them?” Dika asked while pointing at Eliana and her five companions, including Arland who seemed to be looking at her with sadness.

Kezia sees Eliana crying in Martin's arms, smothering her mouth. While Kania and Dena were standing next to him with teary eyes. Arland looked pecked with a sad face that could not be measured as deep as what his sad feelings were. Ricko, meanwhile, is trying to calm Sherly who continues to cry.

“Kak... I why? Why are they crying over me?’ Ask the confused kezia.

“They are waiting for you to go home, so go home.. don't make them continue to grieve..” Dika explained with his warm fragrance.

Kezia tried to touch Eliana who was standing not far from her place, but her hands felt heavy, unable to lift at all.

“Mah, please don't cry mah... don't cry..” cried Kezia who was not heard by Eliana. “Sher, stop crying sher, I'm going home but I beg you to stop crying.” cried Kezia who again not heard by Sherly. “Land,, I miss you.. I want to hug you.. why are you that sad..” Kezia frustrated himself to see the people around him so sad. “So, how should I go, I want to go home.. I want to hug my mother and my friends..” chuckle kezia who fell down with tears scattered.

“You can zia, you can go home. Strengthen your heart, remember all the faces that are waiting for you, let's wake up..” cried Dika loudly.

*****

And all of a sudden, warm circles hatched from Kezia's eye slit.

Meanwhile, Arland who had been standing there, he began to ventured closer to kezia. He clasped Kezia's hand, which was fed with infusion, cold, very cold. It was as if he was welcoming Kezia to come home.

“Key... will you continue like this? Don't you miss me?” lirih Arland holding Kezia's hand. Arland slowly kissed him.

“Arland, I miss you too, why don't you guys hear my screams, why?” peeked Kezia who was very difficult to open her eyes.

“How much longer do I have to miss you, how long?” arland whispered almost inaudible.

Tears began to wash over Arland's face. Arland's tears, dripping warmly on the back of Kezia's hand.

“Arland, please don't cry. You said you hated having to cry about something. Please don't make me the reason you cry.” Kezia said with a cry on his chest.

Kezia remembered Arland's words, that he really did not like to cry over something. Only 1 time Arland ever cried, which is when his papih died. After that, she will never cry again. But this time it was different, Kezia made her cry. “Sister, I want to go home, sister, I want to go home. I gag want the people I love to cry for me..” cried Kezia at Dika's shadow.

“Hem... Go awayl. Follow your heart. Be happy with those who love you. Brother will be happy.” Said Dika while peeping Kezia's head gently.

Without waiting for long, Kezia immediately ran towards the light that was before him. He fell down, but stood up and strengthened his body.

“Grep!” for a moment Kezia clasped Arland's hand even though he was a little weak.

Arland. He immediately saw the hand of kezia that was in his grasp. Arland realized, there were tears dripping from the crevice of Kezia's eyes.

“Key, you wake up key?” arland half-screamed.

Ricko immediately approached Arland, Ricko felt Arland began to hallucinate after more than a week of just daydreaming and not falling asleep.

“Bro, you're all right?” Ricko patted Arland on the shoulder, hoping to resuscitate him.

“Ko, see ko, Kezia held my hand earlier ko.” said Arland while showing Kezia's hand that was in his grasp.

“Land, I know you're sad again. And we are all also sad but.”.

“Ricko, you think I'm crazy. Look, Kezia is crying too.” cried Arland

Eliana and Kezia's friends soon approached Arland. And sure enough, kezia's eyes looked wet. Eliana's cries began to break. They barely believe.

“Key, you really can wake up right key? Look, there's me, there's your mama, ricko, dena, kania and sherly here, too. Come on key, I know you want to wake up let's get up key, you can!!” arland continued with half a shout.

Kezia's fingers started moving. Kania, Sherly and Dena embrace. And Eliana fell.

“Call doctor ko, cepet call doctor!” yell Arland.

Without thinking much, Ricko immediately ran out of Kezia's treatment room and looked for a doctor. Luckily, Herdiman's doctor was walking towards him.

“Dok, kezia doc!” ricko shouted with a breath of breath..

“Why with Kezia?” Ask the Herdiman doctor who immediately ran over to Ricko. Ricko did not answer him, he immediately opened the door wide.

Doctor Herdiman immediately examined Kezia closely.

“What has the patient just responded?” Ask herdiman the.

Arland's speech stopped as he saw Kezia begin to blink his eyes slowly, he tried to dull his vision. Doctor Herdiman smiled.

“Grandmother...” Slowly witty Kezia. Kezia opened his eyes, moving his eyeballs right to left. His family and friends surround Kezia.

“Nak, you are aware darling?” exclaim Eliana immediately. He held Kezia's hand tightly.

Kezia glanced at Arland who was standing beside him. Smile, even though it is heavy. The cry of Dena and her two best friends broke just like that, seeing Kezia who was beginning to wake up.

“Shortly let me check first yes ma'am..excuse me..” said doctor Herdiman. Arland and Eliana were slightly sideways.

Herdiman began to examine Kezia closely. From head to hand. Doctor Herdiman nodded his head at the sign that part of the examination was completed, then allowed Kezia's family and friends to return to accompany kezia.

“Mah, which grandma?” Kezia asked as she looked at Eliana questioningly. His voice was still loud and slow.

“Whose granny is son?” Ask the confused Eliana.

Kezia's eyes were back around looking at the people around him.

"Where is grandma?" This time Kezia asked Kania.

“Key, grandma who you help is fine.. She has come home to pick up her family.” said Kania with tears on her lips.

“Thankful...” Kezia.

Apparently the first person Kezia remembered was the grandmother she helped to cross. He was so worried that something happened to the grandmother that he forgot his own condition. Kezia looked back at Arland who was beside him.

“Why are you crying?” Kezia asked with her innocent look.

“We do not cry sad son, we are happy because you have realized.” wept Eliana who realized Kezia was just staring at Arland.

“Mah, what's zia's foot in the cast? Kok until kebas gini yaa.” continued Kezia who tried to get up.

Eliana looked at the doctor Herdiman. Doctor Herdiman understood the true meaning of Eliana's gaze.

“You do not first wake up.. let the doctor who checked first..” Pinta Arland who returned to lay kezia.

“It's okay, if a little leaning does not matter kok..” said doctor Herdiman.

Dena, Kania and Sherly reflex immediately help Kezia to elevate his position by turning the pedal under his bed. Doctor Herdiman immediately removed Kezia's lower blanket. He took out a tool like a hammer, and slightly smacked it into Kezia's knee.

The examination switches to the legs and the soles of the feet, both are examined, but similarly, there is no reaction whatsoever. Doctor Herdiman shook his head. All his worries are proven.

“How do doc, is my son okay?” Martin asked immediately after seeing Herdiman's expression.

“Sorry sir, it looks like your daughter's leg nerves were affected by the impact on her head and spine. So, he did not respond to every stimulus I gave.,, ”, said Herdiman, staring into Martin's eyes.

“What doctor mean? My son's foot...” Eliana hung her sentence with a questionable look.

Doctor Herdiman, who understood the direction of Eliana's question, could only nod.

Kezia bowed listlessly. Melt of tears began to trickle down in the blink of his eyes. Kezia's friends were only fixated on hearing the new reality Kezia had to face. There was a sense of tightness from the disappointment that Kezia felt. The feeling grew stronger when he saw the sad expressions of the people around him. Will it be a lifetime of distress and dependence on those around him? It's gonna be a real hassle. However, along with the sadness, there are other feelings that warm him, Kezia is grateful to still be able to see the people he cares about.

“Doctor, please check correctly, this must all be wrong doc, right doc?” martin shouted involuntarily shaking the body of Doctor Herdiman.

But Herdiman's doctor didn't budge.

“Pah, please stop. Maybe zia's legs are just numb, because the zia beds continue. The old gag is fine too. So you guys don't be sad... Yeah doc?” kezia said in a weak voice.

Doctor Herdiman approached Kezia, and he rubbed Kezia's head.

“Look, he is trying to encourage himself and does not want to see you sad, do you not feel it?” doctor Herdiman murmured in his heart. “So strong is your heart son..” he continued.

For the first time, Herdiman's heart was crushed to see a patient in front of him. He seeks to strengthen those around him, even though he himself is fragile.

Kezia raised his head to look at the Herdiman doctor standing beside him. His eyes looked teary.

“There is no pain that cannot heal. Your heart is strong, your body will be strong. Follow the therapy well, hopefully everything is fine.” explained Herdiman doctor who indirectly agreed that Kezia did suffer from paralysis.

Kezia nodded in agreement. Trying to digest the conditions he was currently facing. He sighed heavily, his heart was sad and his tears could not be contained anymore.

“Doctor, I want to rest alone here. Can?” Kezia asked with trembling lips. Doctor Herdiman understands Kezia's intentions.he wants to learn to accept his current condition, and there are things he wants to hide from those around him, one of which is his sadness.

“Iyaa, you should indeed rest well. Don't talk too much and move around a lot. And for the family can wait in the waiting room. Please..” Light doctor Herdiman with full seriousness.

A few pairs of eyes anxiously stared at Kezia, yet no one dared to refute the orders of Herdiman the Magnificent. Kezia raised his face and looked at the people he cared about in turn. His lips tried to smile, though they continued to tremble withstanding the cries.
