The Injured
Bunged

For a few days Radit was busy. He can only drive Echa without being able to pick her up. As long as Radit still always gives the news, it doesn't matter to Echa. Because Addhitama has told Echa for the next few weeks Radit will be busy because he has to take care of the company with his two brothers.

Today H-3 retirement event. All the organizers have prepared until they are willing to go home for the night to make the event a success and festive. Echa pacing back and forth here and there. Checking this with other organizers, until they sat on the floor while leaning their bodies against the wall.

"It's so tired" said one of the organizers.

Echa just smiled. Echa took the time to check her phone but, there was no message from Radit. He also just breathed a rough breath.

Someone gave a bottle of mineral water to Echa's face. Echa's heart begins to warm, she thinks it's Radit. But, when she straightened her head, it was Riza who gave the mineral water.

"Thank you" he said.

Riza smiled and sat down next to Echa. "Your boyfriend doesn't look like it?" ask Riza.

"Busy." The short, cranky answer coming out of Echa's mouth made her heart ache. Echa leaves Riza and joins the other committee.

Radit has not been to his house for nearly a week. There was a longing in his chest. But, Echa must not be selfish. He had to understand what Radit was working on.

It's not just Echa who misses Radit. Radit misses Echa. However, his busyness made him have to ignore his longing for a moment.

At ten in the evening he had just arrived home. It makes Radit's body so helpless. He also fell asleep immediately. Because tomorrow morning there should be a meeting with an important client.

While at Echa's house, he was waiting for a message from Radit. Usually every night Radit always say good night. An unimportant yet very meaningful sentence for Echa. Until in the end, the Echa waiting ended up sleeping into the dream realm.

In the morning Radit is unable to take Echa to school. Because he had to go straight to Depok. Fortunately Echa was busy preparing for retirement, otherwise he would have missed Radit very much.

Thirsty and hungry are not ignored by the committee. They are busy preparing everything. Time is getting late but, they haven't finished it all.

When the time came to rest, Echa wiped her sweat with the back of her hand. He took the mineral water already available on the table. However, there was someone who confronted him with a glass of iced coffee.

Radit smiled at his girlfriend. He pulled out a tissue and wiped the sweat on Echa's forehead.

"Sorry, Bhal. I'm very busy" Radit said with regret. Echa just smiled and received the iced coffee that Radit had opened for her.

"Well eat?" ask Radit. Echa just shook her head.

"I bought it, yeah." Echa. "Here I was," he said.

Radit complied with her lover's request, and she accompanied Echa to rest with occasional laughs and jokes. With hands that hold each other.

Riza's face was extremely unfriendly. He looked at Radit and Echa with a gaze full of anger. They both shared drinks together.

"I'm going inside first, yeah." Radit smiled and took Echa's hand and went inside.

After everything is done, Echa and Radit go home. As usual Radit accompanied Echa first and he really missed this lover. Radit was holding Echa's body warm.

"I miss you, Bhul." Echa tightened her embrace.

"I'm also Bhal, it's just that I should be able to understand you now."

"Thank you, you understand me. Thank you for always taking care of your heart" Radit said.

Echa looked at Radit with a sharp look. "You must also take care of your eyes and heart. Must be in the office a lot of pretty girls, right."

"A lot, but not as pretty as my girlfriend," Radit said as he pinched Echa's cheek.

"The same as this couple" said Ayanda.

"Well, Echa wants a spicy squid," Echa pinta.

"Pesen aja, pity your Mamah," said Radit.

"It's okay, Dit. I've been a long time Aunty not masakin for this Aunt daughter," he replied by gently rubbing Echa's hair.

"Are you happy to be surrounded by people who love you so much?" Echa just nodded.

"Seneng wants you to be spoiled like this" Radit added.

"Other busy trying to tell me yes, let me not think badly of you" said Echa.

"Yes, honey."

The next day, after a dress rehearsal Echa decides to search for a book in a mall. There was a book he wanted to read.

He looked through the books that were on the shelf. His eyes unintentionally saw the man he knew very well was clutching the waist of a woman. That woman is so beautiful. And it looks like it's his office mate.

Echa's heart felt claustrophobic, she chose to leave the bookstore. However, Radit realizes that Echa is there. Radit goes after Echa. He's calling out Echa's name but, uh, Echa doesn't mind. Until he pulls Echa's hand.

Plaque!

The slap landed on Radit's cheek. "It's not what you imagined it to be" Radit said.

"Dit, I'm done" said the woman who was with Radit at the bookstore.

Echa shook Radit's hand very hard. He stared intently at Radit and left Radit. He came home feeling very sick.

Upon arriving home, Echa went straight into her room and locked her room. Before long, Radit came to Echa's house still with the shirt he was wearing.

"Tante, where's Echa?" radit asked with a deep breath.

"In the room, what's up, Dit?" Radit went straight to Echa's room. He kept knocking on the door however, there was no reply from within.

"Bhul, it's not what you see. Please open Bhul's door, let me explain to you" Radit said.

An hour had Radit standing at the door of Echa's room, but Echa did not move out. Not even saying his words. Echa's phone is dead.

Ayanda approached Radit, asking what was going on with him and his daughter. Radit told me everything. Ayanda just sighed harshly.

"Wait for him, he'll be out of the room." Radit obeyed Ayanda's orders.

From morning Radit had not eaten, he really did not feel hungry because Echa was misunderstanding him. Many times Ayanda told him to eat however, Radit always refused.

Radit waited in the back room because he knew for sure Echa would continue to avoid him. Radit heard the sound of footsteps heading downstairs. Slowly he entered the front room, there was already Echa there.

"Bhul" said Radit. Echa turned to Radit, and her eyes widened as Radit's body fell to the floor.
