My First Love Story
Episode 94

After work, Arland immediately went into his apartment. Several calls came in from Ricko at his neglect. Today his body feels very tired. Arland took the white water that was on the dining table and gulped it down. His dry throat was cold again.

The sun felt hotter than usual. Arland grabbed the towel and immediately went into the bathroom. The shower refreshes his entire body. It didn't take long for Arland to perform his bathing ritual. Maybe because his thinner body makes him feel cold faster.

Arlang stood in front of the mirror and looked at his thinner body. His jawbone looks more firm. Makes it seem cooler and more violent. The fine hairs began to grow over his lips. Arland tidied it up by shaving it. His face looks more radiant.

He took a T-shirt and boxer pants from the closet. Then he laid his body on the mattress with a recumbent position. The back of the porch is straight and comfortable. He looked at Kezia's face on the ceiling of his room.

“Hay mhiu, today I am very tired. I met your mother and father. They are still very friendly, just like they used to be. Did they never really get mad at me?" Arland paused his sentence with a faint smile.

"Hem. next week, I'm starting college. How was your school there? Mhiu, can you still wait for me? One day I'll go to Germany and pick you up. May you gag angry for waiting for me too long. Mhiu, have you ever missed me, just once..” Arland spoke with a picture of Kezia on the ceiling of his room.

Every day, that's what Arland does. Every time he met Kezia's eyes, he would greet her and talk like a hallucinating madman. There were never more tears dripping on his cheeks, although in fact his chest still often felt tight.

Arland closed his eyes, and closed his eyes with his right arm.

“Land..” Someone appeared from behind the door.

“Lo gag knows how to knock on the door huh?” arland said without opening his eyes.

Ricko just smiled. Ricko knows, Arland has finished his story telling with Kezia.

“Eat yuk! I brought fried duck.” Take Ricko who just showed his head on the door of Arland's room.

Arland got up and approached Ricko. His stomach is very hungry. Ricko and Arland walked towards the dining table, and placed the food on the plate that Arland had taken. They sat opposite the fried ducks on their respective plates.

Ricko looked at Arland who was leisurely enjoying his meal. His body was curled down enjoying eating. There was a feeling of sympathy and amazement in Ricko's heart as he stared at his best friend. After everything was destroyed, Arland tried to get up in his own way.

“Land, earlier callin lo, but gag lo lift he said.” Ricko's voice breaks the silence.

“Iyaa , right I'm working again like.” Arland without changing his position.

“So how, you want to while working in a place bokap?”

“Gue does not know the exact condition has entered college later. If there is a clear schedule, I just made a decision.” Bright Arland. Ricko nodded.

“Land, I fight again the same sherly...” Ricko stopped his meal, trying to lure Arland with his curses.

“Not usually later also better again?” cetus Arland's.

“But now, the problem is rather difficult.” Complain Ricko.

“As long as he's on deket lo, you guys finish him well. Don't be a kid! Don't take lo nyesel if he's gone, unless you're ready.” Bright Arland while nibbling on his favorite fried duck bone. Ricko nodded with a smile.

“Gue has a new neighbor, his son is cute..”.

“Gue. It's up to you to get home, but don't forget to close the door!” arland exclaimed as he carried his plate into the kitchen. After washing his hands, he returned to his room.

Ricko just shook his head. Always like that, Arland dodges when Ricko talks about women. Though from some love books that he read, how to treat wounds because of women is to find other women, but it turns out that it does not apply to Arland.

The morning atmosphere in the hospital began to bustle. Medics and patients alternately passed by. No exception with the Angga family. They had prepared in the treatment room Angga who was going to do steam cell. Albert's doctor was explaining the procedure they were going to do. Mahesa, Anna, Indira, Angga and Kezia were well received. Because there were some medical words and terms that Kezia did not understand, Kezia re-recorded them for her to learn. After asking permission from Dr. Albert and Mahesa's family.

Steam cell is done by taking healthy cells from the body Angga itself, so that when the condition of the body is good, he will quickly adapt, what if bad, side effects are quite scary. But in the end Albert doctors still suggest that one day Angga do spinal grafts to really free him from leukemia.

Mahesa, the guardian, agreed to everything delivered by Albert's doctor and signed the approval sheet. Angga looked calmer, in contrast to Kezia, Indira and Anna who looked more tense.

“Come on, you guys don't scare me by looking at me like that.” protest Angga while holding Anna's hand.

“You have to promise you will be fine in there yaa..” said Anna while hugging anga.

“Iya I will come out still breathing. But you must prepare to take care of me..” Angga said while staring at Kezia.

Kezia just nodded. It turned out that his mentality was not as strong as imagined when Angga would actually perform the operation.

Assuming he actually felt a little afraid, but that fear he tried to get rid of by imagining that he would have a longer time with Kezia.

“Alright sir, let me take you to the operating room..” said a nurse who came to Angga. Angga nodded in agreement.

He looked one by one at the faces of loved ones, not least Kezia who was the reason for wanting to run the operation. As it passed in front of Kezia,

“CTAK!” Angga flicked his finger on Kezia's forehead.

“Iya I do’s operation smoothly. Later if in the syringe, do not run away yaa.” cetus Kezia with a smile.

Angga laughed at Kezia's words. Suddenly his fear disappeared. He asked the nurse to take him to the operating room immediately.

2 Hours have passed. Mahesa and her family are still anxiously waiting for Angga who never came out of the operating room. Time feels so long turning. Kezia thrust mineral water on Anna who had previously only stayed while berdo’a. Her eyes looked at Kezia expectantly.

“Kak angga will be fine tan...” Ooze Kezia slowly. Anna nodded. He took the bottle of mineral water that Kezia gave and sipped it slowly.

A woman came out of a room near the operating room, approaching Mahesa and the family.

“Patients need blood. Do any of you have AB positive blood type?” Ask the nurse immediately.

“I!” mahesa and Kezia said together.

“Alright, please come with me.” pinta the nurse while giving protective clothes and headgear to Kezia and Mahesa.

Two blankars are available in the room. A huge glass separated Kezia and the struggling Angga. Kezia looked at him for a moment. Medics are swarming Angga. Kezia folded his sleeves and clenched his left hand.

The nurse took a sample of Kezia's blood and Mahesa took turns to examine it. After being sure his blood type is the same and the condition of both allows to donate blood, the nurse smears an alcohol cotton swab and asks permission to take blood. Kezia.

Fresh blood began to flow from Kezia's veins into the pouch that had been available. Mahesa grimaced slightly as the syringe stabbed her in the same spot as Kezia. Mahesa looked at Kezia who was lying beside her.

“Thank you son..” said Mahesa while rubbing Kezia's head. Kezia just nodded.

Two blood bags filled up quickly. Kezia and Mahesa were still lying down because their heads felt a little dizzy.

“It turns out in the syringe the needle hurts yaa..” Mahesa cetus with a smile.

“Iya, as in the bite of ants yes om..” Kezia chimed. The two laughed together.

After the dizziness was lessened, Mahesa and Kezia left the room. Seeing the pale faces of the two, Indira took the initiative to buy drinks and food.

“I'm with sister..” pinta Kezia.

“You've gag dizzy?” Indira holds Kezia's shoulder.

“Neg...” With a smile on her lips.

Indira and Kezia walked towards the hospital canteen. They bought some hot chocolate and some bread. They enjoyed it on the spot. Soon someone approached them.

“Can join here?” ask him kindly. Indira. “What are you doing here? Hey you sweet girl, do you still remember me?” Ask Fritz who suddenly poked Kezia who was engrossed with his phone.

“Oh hay...” greet Kezia while remembering the blue-eyed man before her. Indira looked at Kezia by hinting at “Who?”, but Kezia just shrugged her shoulders.

“You forgot me. I'm very disappointed..” Her babble with a witty smile. Kezia is still trying to remember. “Cream soup spilled and hit your hand.” he continued.

“Oohh fritz...” cetus Kezia who just remembered the name of the man.

“What are you guys doing here?” Ask Fritz kindly.

“We are waiting for a sick family.” Sahut Indira's. “You?” Indira asked back. While Kezia was still busy chewing his bread.

“I wait for my papah..” Fritz replied while looking at the clock that was coiled in his left hand.

Kezia immediately finished his last mouthful and sipped his chocolate milk once it ran out.

“Yuk brother!” take Kezia with Indonesian.

“We first..” timpal Indira with german.

“Okey... See you beautiful kezia...” singgut Fritz with a smile. Kezia smiled faintly and immediately left with Indira.

“At the hospital aja you daper gebetan key?” Indira Goda.

“Don't mitekku sis..” cetus kezia while sticking his head on Indira's shoulder. Indira smiled as she rubbed Kezia's cheek in a fit of anxiety.

“Looks Angga no rival..” muttered Indira.
