"Lay? Where is he going?"
Full of question marks. Laras questioned where did Lay go? Like a dazed person, Lay walked towards the wrong path.
It's normal to worry about a friend. If there is no anxiety there may be something wrong with the friendship.
"Rio. Rio!"
Said quickly while patting the shoulder. His expression was so shocking, without needing to shout Rio would also hear it. He is not deaf, his ears are still functioning properly.
"What's wrong? You don't have to scream like that, I'm not a stone statue that can't hear. Without you screaming I would have heard it too… What's going on?"
"Look Lay! Where is he going?"
"Maybe to class."
That's the logic, if Lay goes he will definitely enter the class, what else?
"That's not what it seems... Our class is over there! But why is he walking the other way?"
"You're right. Our class is at the end of this hall, so why is he walking that way? Where is he going?"
The same thought. Rio also thought about what Laras was thinking. They fuss over Lay's wrong path, but they better not speculate because it's not good. Suspect your own friends.
"We should just follow him. Where is he actually going?"
"Yeah you're right. If you want to know then it's better to find out, not suspect. That wouldn't be good."
For the first time they were of the same mind. For the sake of a friend, other friends must work together, do not help each other.
Running after Lay behind. Until you reach the end of this building.
Lay stood quietly looking down. He mumbled in silence.
"Lay!"
Greet him so hard. Laras no longer wants to be gentle with this young man, because it seems that gentleness is not needed now.
"What is it?"
His answer seemed to wake up from a long sleep. He turned around and found Laras and Rio who were behind him.
"Are you deaf or pretending not to hear? We've been shouting at you for a while, but you don't seem to hear us. What are you thinking about that you don't care about us?"
"Right. You look like you're not yourself, Lay. We've been running after you for a while, don't you know that?"
This is what is called, never ignore your own friends then the result will be angry like this.
"Oh really? I'm sorry, I didn't hear you guys calling me. And sorry for worrying you."
Apologizing is the main thing. There will not be a single human being who is wrong, so what's wrong with apologizing right away.
"I'm sorry guys. Suddenly my mind became unfocused, which made me ignore you guys."
"Hm… What is going on in your mind? Why can't you focus like that, Lay?"
Laras asked like a mother who is annoyed with her own child. Because of the togetherness that has been knitted for a long time, Laras is very familiar with Lay's nature.
"It's nothing. I'm just out of focus. Nothing else."
His explanation could not be taken for granted, because his mouth said so, but the look in his eyes said otherwise. There's something he's hiding. Lara felt it.
"Then why did you go to this place, isn't our class just over there? How could you forget your own class?"
Rio is also judging. He also needed to know, why did Lay go to this part of the building instead of their class?
"Oh, about that. I really didn't want to go to class. I just came here to see that!"
The direction of his eyes pointed down, right into the wide field that was already filled with hundreds of students of this school.
"Yeah, right... You're absolutely right, Lay. Because Rio didn't know anything earlier, it made me forget about this," Laras said blamingly.
"Eh, what about me? What's my fault if you forget everything?"
Rio denied it, because actually he was innocent and didn't know anything about the problems of his two friends.
"Ah, never mind. I'm too lazy to argue with you again. You'd better take a look over there, to our school field!"
His invitation to see the crowd of students who were jostling each other. It looks like a gathering of ants gathering, if you look at it from the corner of this building.
"What's going on? Why do I feel more and more curious? Why is everyone gathered there? Was there a Health check, so they gathered there?"
Wait he spoke. He was making a lot of sense, he said everyone was waiting for a health check, but in reality there wasn't an Ambulance or anything like that.
"You're crazy, aren't you. Where did the medical checkup come from? Can't you see? Is there a doctor or an ambulance there? Nothing, right? If you think about it, you have to use your logic, Rio!"
He's not stupid, it's just that Rio is too innocent for something like this, and it's times like now that sometimes make Laras and Lay pat their foreheads.
"Really? If not Medical Check-ups, then what? What made them gather there? Is there a distribution of free books from the Government, I see?" he said what it was.
"Rio. Rio! That's enough. You don't need to say it anymore. You make my head spin with your words. You better watch it later and you'll find out for yourself."
What Rio said didn't hurt. He just said it as it is, because he is the one who knows nothing. It's just that sometimes Rio forgets to read the surrounding situation and conditions.
"Alright. If this isn't interesting then I'll blame you guys!"
"Just pay attention," said Laras firmly.
Just pay attention to it like that. Whether it's cool or not, that's a back thing, what's clear is that you just pay attention first and you'll know. That's what Lara said earlier.
The three of them looked down together, watching the crowd of students who were there.
Really what will happen? Everyone was curious, even for Rio though.
*****
From that field. Under the scorching rays of the morning sun which was still very warm, the young people and Master gathered together.
Are they waiting for someone to arrive?
Who's he? How big is his name, that everyone is waiting for his arrival?
Not long ago. The crowd was getting denser, the long-awaited finally appeared.
A jet black luxury car with license plate 12345 entered the gate.
Because the field is surrounded by a sea of people, the car is running slowly. Everyone jostled when this dazzling car had entered the field.
"Ludra!"
"Ludra!"
The Eve also screamed hysterically. The girls who were still young were shouting someone's name.
"Ludra!"
"Ludra!"
They were hysterically swept away in this excitement.
Who is Ludra anyway? Why do the students here really adore him? They held the phone up high, only to be able to take Ludra's face directly.
"Ludra!" screamed the girls.
"Ludra!" hysterically limp because of each other. Even though they are close to each other, their enthusiasm is not in the least burned by the scorching sun.
Because this sea of people that can't be controlled anymore, makes the charming black car have to stop there. Can't continue to the middle of the field. So, the passengers in it had to get out of the car.
"We have to get off here, young master. I can't go any deeper," said the driver who was in the car.
"It's okay, sir. I'll just get off here," said the passenger.
For him this is not a problem. If you have to get off here it's okay, besides the school is already right in front of your eyes so it's only natural that you have to walk.
Crack, the door is open. With great confidence, he got out of his car.
Gazing proudly at everyone. The welcome of the students here is so warm, and makes him happy.
He wears a school uniform similar to them, just like the students here he will also study in this school.
"Ludra!"
Their shouts were hailed by his name, made him feel well accepted in this School.
He is Ludra Anggara Wijaya, who will be a new student at this SMAN.
"Look at that! There he is, Ludra Anggara Wijaya! Aaaa!"
It wasn't just the people downstairs who screamed hysterically, but Laras also showed the same thing.
He was also very enthusiastic when he saw Ludra's arrival at his school. He was really happy when he could see Ludra's handsome face directly like this.
"What are you doing, Laras? Why are you screaming like an insane person? Who the hell is he, that you're also screaming like them?"
His attitude was ordinary because there was nothing special about the young man. He's just like us, who wear the school uniform, but why is he being so favored by everyone? thought Rio.
"Gosh. So you don't know who he is?" asked Laras.
"Yeah, just who is he? Isn't he also a student here? Why does everyone think he's special? There's nothing special in my opinion about him."
If according to logic Ludra is just an ordinary student, he is the same as the students here but Ludra has features that other students don't have.
"...Then who is he? You just say it, don't make small talk like that?" Rio insisted.
"Ah… Well, I'll tell you who he is. He is Prince Ludra Anggara Wijaya," Laras said.
"Prince Ludra? So, he's a Prince?" asked Rio again.
"Not stupid. It's just a nickname. He is a famous drama actor. Tia's acting as Prince is so good that we call him Prince Ludra… Aaa! Ludra!"
While Laras was screaming uncontrollably, Rio felt something else when he saw Ludra.
Something strange happened to his body. He suddenly felt his immunity drop, his head was dizzy and he felt weak all over.
He felt heavy on both shoulders, which made Rio feel like he was being weighed by a weight of 100 kilograms.
"What is this?"
Rio started to feel panicked, when everything he saw started to dim. What was felt was a severe pain in the head.
The sound of everyone's screams was painful to his ears.
"What's wrong Rio?"
Lay also panicked when Rio started to move away. He tried to approach his friend to ask Rio's condition.
"My head hurts. What happened to me? Why do I suddenly feel sick?"
The pain continued to gnaw at his head. Rio couldn't hold it anymore.
Bruk… He collapsed and was unconscious.
"Uh." Lay tried to refute it, but he couldn't help Rio's heavy body.
"Barrel!"
Try calling and asking for help from other friends.
"Rio!"
Unexpectedly Rio fell unconscious behind.
"What happened to him? How did he pass out here?"
Previously he was in good health. There was no sign that he would fall ill like he is now.
"Just hold on to your question for later. We'd better get him to the infirmary quickly!" Rio asked immediately.
"Yes alright."
"Then help me carry him!" Lay asked again.
In accordance with the order, Laras helped Lay to lift Rio's body. The two of them worked hand in hand to take Rio to the infirmary.
"Are you ready?" Lay argued.
"Yes. You can take him now," Laras said.
Rio's body was carried by Lay. With all his might, Lay will take him to the UKS room, to find out why Rio fainted?
*****
What was the exact cause of Rio's sudden fainting?
Could it have something to do with Ludra?
Meanwhile Ludra himself was happy with this school. He was honored to be greeted this cheerfully.
Like a prince who is highly respected by his people.
Ludra waved his hand and smiled to greet everyone.
