I stepped back and entered the hospital followed by the gaze of the spy who recognized me and knew the incident that happened to Reni. I don't know what they're thinking, but from his gaze it appears that they blame me and I accept it all. Because Reni's parents did not like my presence, so I chose to keep my distance, not wanting to increase their burden again after so much suffering that I indirectly caused.
The vibration from the mobile phone made me realize, the phone from Abah. As usual, he was angry. Told me to come home with a swearing oath. I can just turn off the call. But soon a call came in from Abah's number. I ignored it because now my gaze was fixed on the messages and missed calls from Reni. My tears flowed reading her messages. In fact, maybe when he was colonized by the delinquent, Reni had contacted me, maybe he wanted to ask for my help, but unfortunately I was not sensitive until finally he had to experience the fateful event.
"Damn it, really fuck you Ben! Idiotically. Villains. Thick-witted. Unreliable!" I cursed myself while hitting my own head to channel emotions. I'm really upset, why not think about his safety. Though Reni thinks highly of me, she is always ready and maximum if the business helps me.
"Ben, that's enough!" Riko came over. Apparently he's been watching me since.
"I'm a fucking friend, Ko." I said, crying. "I could have left him in danger. Really dumb. I don't deserve to be his friend. It's hard to help but this is what I do. Even to protect her once I can't. What do I expect as a friend?"
"I thought so too, Ben. You don't deserve to be Reni's friend, she's too good for you. But unfortunately, God predestined another. You are his closest friend. You are also the man she loves. You know Ben, how I feel about you. Why should you? Though I'm always trying to be there for him, but he chose you instead." Riko bobbing head. Such is the destiny of love, sometimes smooth sometimes full of trials. "Don't ruin your own life, Ben, if you're going to make amends, just keep being Ben who Reni knows because I'm pretty sure he's going to need you." Riko patted my back slowly, then she passed by after handing over a small package of mineral water and bread.
[Bang, gohome. Mother's sick. Last night Abah was angry blindly. Mommy becomes months of anger outburst Abah ] message from Ami.
Turn it off, I don't care. Mother who chose to remain at Abah's side even though mother had the choice to end her suffering. Life is a choice, if you have chosen it then I cannot help. I don't want to be Abah's slave anyway. Tell a story or marry according to Abah's wishes. Life has to be realistic!

I don't know what time it is, which obviously has been a long time since Azan Isya reverberated, I was still in the hospital hallway, a few miles from Reni's inpatient room. Go only for prayer and the need to go to the bathroom. The rest stay here even though sometimes they have to hide so as not to be seen by Reni's parents. Not that I was afraid of being beaten by her father again but I couldn't bear to see them endure the heartache of seeing me.
"Sorry, in addition to accompanying the patient, it is forbidden to wait here" said a security guard who approached.
"Sir, can't I be an exception? I should know my friend's condition, sir. Until now he said he had not been conscious. I'm afraid he's okay sir." I asked.
"Can't be mas. If I allow you later a lot of reasons like mas. It could be full of this hallway. Just wait outside, Mom. Besides, if the hospital chief knew I could get in trouble. Please follow the rules yes mas, let it be equally delicious." pinta pak security again
I'm not feeling good. Not the heart if you have to trouble others again. That's why I left the hospital hallway to the waiting room in the room. I've decided to sleep here tonight

Reni has been hospitalized for three days. Somehow the current condition, no one knows because his family kept everything a secret. Even now no one is allowed to swipe. Even so, I still faithfully waited in the waiting room, hoping to get a chance to meet Reni or just know the news.
This afternoon, suddenly from Reni's room a group of nurses and security brought a bed on top of which Reni quickly climbed into the ambulance. Not long after the car was fast. I saw Reni, she was wearing a mask and we looked at each other. Just a second because the security quickly pulled over so I couldn't see Reni.
"Sorry, I don't know the mas." Said the nurse who was clearly trying to avoid me, for some reason.
As much as possible I found out Reni's whereabouts, but no one told me. Even Riko who already knew Reni and her family did not know where Reni was at this time. It's like disappearing on the earth. It's just that Riko promised to tell me if he had information.

After three days of not returning to boarding, today I finally came home with uncertain feelings because I still did not know about the news of Reni. Arriving at the kosan, apparently my sister Ami was waiting.
"Anywhere to go? Three days the number is inactive. I was confused where to call!" Ami was very angry, he cried to vent his emotions.
"Sorry, I'm in the hospital. Forgot to bring a charger, not even a shirt to change "i said, while entering the room.
"Who is sick? You're okay, right?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"Bang, Abah and Mommy ...."
"Leave it, it's their life's choice."
"Bang!"
"What Mi? Then what should I do? Married to Yohana? You don't think I'm an ordinary person, I have feelings too."
"Sir Yohana will be married to someone else. Next week his family will pick him up." I kept quiet, not knowing what to answer. But there's an uncomfortable feeling.
"Go home Bang, at least say goodbye because brother Yohana will be taken to Sumatra, chances are you will not meet again. Say good-bye before she becomes someone's wife." Ami says.
I don't know, I have to. Can only be quiet, sitting pensively on the edge of the bed.
