After an hour's rest, Aska and mr Damar continued their journey to Alea's cafe.
Arriving at Alea's Cafe, Aska saw himself from his cellphone camera. His face was pale with black eye bags. His lips were dry white.
Aska sighed. His face now is very different from his old face. Now you can see his face and body like a sick person.
"Mr. Damar, do I look very terrible now?" Aska asked mr Damar without turning from his cellphone camera.
"No sir, sir Aska is as handsome as ever." replied mr Damar encouraging Aska.
Indeed Aska still looks handsome, but with his thin cheeks, pale face and thin body, anyone who saw Aska, would have said that Aska was like a sick person. Because in reality Aska was sick again, and was very sick.
"Thank you for the compliment Mr Damar, even though I know Mr. Damar said it just to please my heart." said Aska smiling wryly.
Mr Damar turned his gaze to another direction, with teary eyes.
It is very sad and pity to see Aska's current situation which is so different from the previous one.
"Sir, the cafe is open, shall we go there now?" asked mr Damar.
"Mr. Damar just wait here, let me go there." answered Aska, fixing his shirt and jacket.
With a body that actually felt weak, Aska came down with certainty, stepped into the cafe.
Still quiet, because it was still early morning, there was not a single visitor apart from him.
He saw a woman who was busy behind his desk.
The woman saw his arrival, immediately stood up and smiled kindly at Aska.
"Welcome to Cafe Alea's, how can we help you?" asked the woman very politely.
"Hm ... Sorry in advance, I'm here from the city of N want to meet Karin." said Aska. "Karin works here right? Karin in town N is my personal nurse, I want to meet her." continued Aska a little tired because he had to stand all the time.
"Did Karin know if you were here? Or did you have an appointment with Karin maybe?" asked the woman who was none other than Alea.
"Karin doesn't know yet, I just wanted to surprise her." answered Aska reasoned.
"Is Karin there? She lives here, right?" asked Aska back.
"Well, it's true that Karin lives here, but last night Karin didn't come home, maybe she came home this morning or later in the afternoon." replied Alea.
"Oh yes ... my name is Alea, Karin's college friend. What's your name, if you may know?"
"Aska..Aska Aliando." replied Aska.
"Um ... if you don't mind, where did Karin not come home last night?" asked Aska curiously.
"Oh, yesterday Karin went to the hospital to see my brother Edo, who is sick. And last night Karin told me that she didn't come home because she was accompanying my sister." Alea replied, a little suspiciously seeing Aska's face, which seemed to change when Alea told about her sister with Karin.
"If you may know, who is Karin's Edo?" asked Aska with a sudden pain in his heart.
"Oh my God, don't tell me that Edo is Karin's lover." Aska's chest was pounding uncertainly.
"What should I say, Karin used to be my sister's lover, because something Karin left my sister without saying goodbye and only yesterday they met." explained Alea.
Aska's body staggered, sitting on the empty chair beside him. His heart seemed to stop, all the way he came from city N to city A wanted to meet immediately, but with what he just heard what should he do now? should i go back if I were still here, would I be able to? "Aska's heart groaned. Her heartbeat was irregular.
Aska began to feel himself falling down in a moment, with the signs he felt now, Aska's face began to turn white.
Alea, who saw that Aska looked unwell, immediately took drinking water and gave it to Aska.
Aska accepted it shakily, immediately Aska took the medicine in his pocket which was left three for today only, took one then immediately drank it quickly.
After taking the medicine Aska called mr Damar.
"Mr Damar over here now yes mr." said Aska enduring the pain all over his body. His breath was tight, his nose began to bleed fresh.
Aska's body leaned back against the chair. Mr Damar came over with a worried face.
"Sir Aska what happened? Den have you taken the medicine?" asked mr Damar in panic, seeing that Aska's condition looked worse than before.
"I've been drinking it mr, but it doesn't seem to have any effect mr. Looks like I can't stand it anymore mr, it hurts so much." groaned Aska enduring the pain, as well as the pain in his heart.
Alea stood there looking at everything that was happening, her mind wondering who Aska was? and what does it have to do with Karin?
Karin! yes only Karin can answer the question. Alea quickly called Karin.
"Karin !! Come here quickly! Here is a man named Aska who is currently looking very sick! You have to come here!" shouted Alea in panic.
At the hospital Karin's cellphone slipped out of her hand, everything she heard from Alea couldn't believe it at all. "Aska! Aska is here! At Alea's place and is seriously ill? What does that mean? How does Aska know if she lives at Alea's place?" DILA "
Karin's mind seemed chaotic, what should she do now. Edo has just recovered from his mental illness, although he is not one hundred percent healthy.
And today he will accompany Edo on a trip to the park so that Edo can see the outside world again.
Karin took out her cell phone and put it in her pocket. I don't know what was on Karin's mind.
"I have to go." Karin followed her heart.
"Edo, I have to go for a bit. I'll be right back!" said Karin a little loudly so that Edo could hear her voice, who was taking a bath inside.
Without waiting for Edo's answer, Karin ran outside after locking Edo's room from outside, just in case Edo chased her.
Edo, who was in the bathroom that just wore his underwear, heard Karin's voice saying goodbye, and immediately came out of the bathroom, wearing only his underwear.
Edo opened the door to his room but it was locked, with all his might Edo banged on the door repeatedly, roaring out for Karin's name.
"Karin! Why did you break your promise!" wailed Edo with his body slumped to the floor.
Karin got out of the taxi. and went straight into the cafe, he saw Aska lying on the sofa, and there was mr Damar who was sitting near Aska, while Alea was standing next to mr Damar.
"Aska! Oh my God! What happened?" shrieked Karin, approaching Aska who was lying unconscious.
Karin grabbed Aska's wrist and pressed it to detect Aska's pulse. Very weak.
"Aska, be aware ... I know you are very strong, unbeatable. Come on, open your eyes Ka." said Karin, rubbing Aska's forehead.
It's only been a few days since I haven't met Aska, why is it that by touching Aska's skin there is a feeling of longing that hits Karin's heart, like years haven't met the feeling.
"Miss Karin, sir Aska has already taken the medicine, but the medicine is left for today miss." explained mr Damar.
"Mr Damar, we should take Aska to the hospital." said Karin worriedly about Aska's condition which seemed to be experiencing a setback.
"Alright miss." said Mr Damar, intending to lift Aska's body. But Mr Damar stopped his mind, when Aska started to regain consciousness from fainting.
"Don't take me to Mr Damar's hospital, take me home now." Said Aska softly, without seeing Karin who was looking at him did not understand.
"What do you mean by going home? You are sick now Ka! You have to go to the hospital now!" said Karin loudly.
"Mr Damar, help me up mr." Aska ordered Pak Damar without replying to Karin's words.
Mr Damar immediately helped Aska up and supported him. Gleefully Aska and mr Damar walked towards the exit.
"Stop! I said stop!" Karin shouted, her soul as if detached, her heart was so hurt by Aska's attitude that ignored her.
"You're not coming home! You have to go to the hospital now!" Karin approached Aska and took over the position of mr Damar.
"Mr. Damar let me carry him, we go to the hospital now mr." continued Karin.
Aska's body dodged from Karin's grip, causing her body to sway slightly.
"What do you really want Karin! Don't you care about me? Aren't you not loving me? Don't I mean nothing to you? Then why do I have to obey your wishes! What right do you have to control my life Karin!" Said Aska with a gasping breath, holding on to Mr. Dammar's shoulder so that his body would not fall.
Alea, who was still standing rooted in her place, couldn't believe everything she heard and saw. Aska ... Karin? are they lovers?
This was the first time Karin felt her heart hurt to hear Aska's words. With a heart full of disappointment and tears in her eyes, Karin looked deeply into Aska's eyes.
"Listen Mr. Aska Aliando, I hope that after this you will soon understand." said Karin in the middle of her sobs.
"You said I don't care about you, right? That's wrong !! I really care for you !! You said again I don't love you? That's also wrong !! I love you Aska." Karin's sad tears cupped Aska's face, which was pale and flushed, couldn't believe what she heard.
"You want to know, you mean it or not to me right? To me, you mean a lot. Aska means a lot. And yeah, you really have to obey me ... because I have the right to you, because I'm your lover." Karin's low voice tried to calm Aska's heart, so she would obey her wish to go to the hospital.
