Love In The Midst of Hostility
Chapter 14 - Thinking of You

...༻⊚༺...

Zafran's eyes closed tightly. He tried to endure the pain as much as possible. Unknowingly she clasped tightly onto Lika's hand. The girl held Zafran's hand back. Their fingers are tightly connected to each other.

"Sury is coming soon!" said Lika. Trying to calm.

"This vow hurts a lot." - Zafran.

From the direction of the elevator, Madam Ratih and the others came. They're approaching soon. As a result, Lika rushed off Zafran's hand. Letting his male friends carry Zafran.

Lika wiped the tears that washed her face. He and his friends accompanied Zafran to the hospital.

Now Lika is sitting in front of the room Zafran treated. He tried to calm himself.

"Lo if you hate the same Zafran do not need to until the next time!" timpal Ayu who suddenly blamed Lika.

"What do you mean?!" Lika stood facing Ayu.

"Well, didn't you make Zafran that? Tega lo ya! If you want revenge it is not necessary to hurt to the physical everything!" sahut Ayu's. Behind him were other friends listening.

"What?! So you think I made Zafran that? He fell himself time. Ask the same person!" lika's objection was firm.

"This time I'm disappointed in you, Lik. If you really do that, it's too much to know." Keyla came and agreed with Ayu.

"Gue is fine Zafran! I even helped him know!" it was clearly Lika who seemed to have been frustrated.

"Zafran so can't represent our school in karate matches. Lo's satisfied!" Ayu looked at Lika with hatred.

"Eh! Do not just recite. I really don't have the slightest bit of Zafran disease. If you want proof, let's ask the same person directly. Follow me!" Lika drags Ayu into the room where Zafran is being treated. But Mr. Surya blocked their path.

"You better get back to the hotel. Especially for Keyla and Cakra. You two have to fight tomorrow. So it's better to focus on just thinking about that," said Mr. Surya. "Oh yes, anyways Zafran must rest," he added.

"No, Sir. Let me talk to Zafran for a second. I want proof that I'm not wrong" Lika insisted. He just does not want to be constantly slandered by Ayu and friends.

"Udah, Lik. Tomorrow it's all." Keyla tried to stop Lika. He didn't want to interrupt Zafran's break.

Lika tightens her sebald jaw. He took a long breath.

"Lika is not wrong. Zafran told me that he slipped down the stairs." Fatih appeared from behind Mr. Surya. He just finished talking to Zafran. Fatih was one of seven students selected for the national championship.

Lika looked at Ayu and Keyla. The two friends were embarrassed. They seem to smile wryly.

"Eat him do not just accuse me," said Lika. He went ahead of the others.

Zafran had to be hospitalized until his condition improved. He could not take part in the national championship this time.

The hoses are hours gone. Zafran opened his eyes. Time seems to indicate ten o'clock at night. He had been trying to sleep, but could not.

I don't know why Lika's crying face is always imagined. He was surprised to see the girl was so worried about him.

Slowly there was a smile on Zafran's face. But it did not last long, for he immediately slapped his own cheek.

'Crazy ones! What do I think?' inner Zafran. Trying to throw away everything about Lika.

Zafran grabbed the phone from the small table beside him. He unplugged the charger first, then turned on the phone. Dozens of messages and missed calls were immediately received by Zafran. Most of his own father and mother.

It just so happened that Zafran had spoken to Gamal earlier. He did it through Mr. Surya's cell phone.

In addition to receiving messages from his parents, Zafran also received messages from Ramanda. The girl kept telling me about Rian.

Zafran pouted instantly. He chose not to reply to Ramanda's message. That's when a phone call from Zara came in.

"Honey, Mother the same Papah is preparing to go there yes," said Zara from across the phone.

"Huh? Not wrong? My feet just sprained. The doctor said, two or three days will be healed. Don't come here, Mother.." Please Zafran. Since childhood, he has received a lot of attention from his mother and father.

"really? Who are you in the hospital now?"

"Sama Pak Surya and Pak Rendi. They never stayed with me. Mother is calm anyway. Either way Mother and father are preparing for a big event soon." Zafran said softly. I hope the mother understands.

"You're right too. Yes already, do not forget to tell Mother the same Papah if there is anything."

Zafran and his mother's conversation is over. Now Zafran is trying to sleep.

"Aaaarghhhh!!!" Lika ruffled her irate hair. He did not know why his brain suddenly kept thinking about Zafran.

On the next bed, there was Keyla who saw Lika's gurgle. "Lo why is it like a hot worm? Still the same pissed? I'm the same Ayu apologized," she felt guilty. He and Ayu had indeed apologized on the way home earlier.

"Aren't you. Not because of that. I'm just dizzy." Lika brushed aside while holding her head. He changed his position to sit.

"Definitely because of your defeat?" ask Keyla. He sat down to accompany Lika.

"Yes, that must be it..." Lika grunts rudely.

"There are many other competitions. I'm sure you have a lot of trophies at home. Lah me? Just one doang." Keyla tried to comfort her friend. Sure enough, Keyla's successful efforts made Lika carve a smile.

"Oh yes, he said on the day of the last match Pak Surya wanted to take a walk around Bali. You hear that?" Keyla said back.

"really? Excited dong." Lika responded enthusiastically. He was quite happy to hear the good news.

"Yes, I can't wait. Hope to see a bule that looks like Justin Bieber." Keyla has high expectations. Lika who heard only tickled amusedly.

As the night grew late, Lika and Keyla stopped chatting. Both are trying to sleep. But again Lika has difficulty falling asleep.

'Don't-don't Zafran later can not go around Bali. Are his legs still hurting or not? He was just like a torment, Lika's inner. He thought back to Zafran.

'Jeez.. why do I think about that shucks again...' Lika regained her senses. He decided to put the headset into his ear. I hope the song distracts his mind. Lika's eyes finally closed tightly. It fell into a deep.

The phone suddenly rang. Lika's forehead wrinkled, when she heard her ringtone wearing a different song. Even so, he still picked up the incoming nameless call.

"Likaayo!! I need your help." The person who called turned out to be Zafran. Lika recognized the type of voice of that guy. Strangely the sound of the telephone ringtone is still ringing. Yura Yunita's song titled Memory Corner continues to bounce. It's like being the musical backsound of Lika's activities now.

"Lo why?" Lika got off the bed.

"Quick! I swear this hurts."

"Why don't you just call Mr. Surya?!" Lika rushed to put on her shoes. He just ran out of the room.

When the door opened, Zafran could be seen standing before him. Carving a bright smile, as he did with Ramanda on the plane.

"E-e-elo can walk?" stuttering Lika does not believe. Instead of answering, Zafran actually gave a warm hug.

The deg!

The deg!

The deg!

Lika's heart seemed to be about to explode. Butterflies flutter in their stomachs. The touch of Zafran makes Lika's body as if electrified thousands of volts.

Lika was frozen. His hand immediately returned Zafran's embrace. He was immersed in the atmosphere and the song still sounded echoing.

...~~~...

...Repeating itself...

...To the memory corner...

...The space we...

...Praise each other...

...You and I have...

...World itself...

...Stay closed I remember your fragrance...

...Not to wake up...

...Realize you don't exist...
