Love In The Midst of Hostility
Chapter 15 - When You're Not Present

...༻⊚༺...

Lika and Zafran hugged for quite a while. Over time Lika increasingly tighten her deck. She really likes the masculine scent of Zafran. It was so unique and so easy to remember by his brain.

When he felt so comfortable, Zafran suddenly took off his embrace. Then looked at Lika and said, "Lik, get up! Madam Ratih the same others are waiting."

"Huh?" Lika terpelongo's. He was confused as to why Zafran could talk about such a random topic.

"They!" Zafran once again called. His call this time managed to make Lika flinch. He woke up from his sleep.

In front of Lika, it was not Zafran's face that was welcoming. Except Keyla. His friend was seen wearing a kimono towel. Looks like Keyla just finished her shower.

"Eh..." Lika changed her position to sit.

"Bu Ratih and the children are ready. Your music is still on" Keyla said, pointing at the headset lying on the bed. Just near Lika on her back.

Lika immediately turned off the music that was playing. Now he is increasingly convinced that the arrival of Zafran was just a dream. Lika reflex held onto her chest. The strange feeling came back when he remembered Zafran.

'Oh my goodness...' Lika gripped her hair in frustration. He's upset with himself.

Lika shuffled to the end of the mattress. Then get into the bathroom immediately. He looked in front of the mirror. Trying to forget everything that keeps bothering him.

"There or nothing, that shucks is still a little bit of a bitch!" mummy Lika. Blame it all on Zafran.

'Mending from now on I stop talking to Zafran. My mind gets worse if it keeps following him, ' thought Lika. He took a shower and prepared to leave. Lika is determined not to talk or do anything else to Zafran.

Lika and the others are on the bus. It only takes a few minutes to get to their destination.

Mr. Rendi looks first until. He let Mr. Surya keep Zafran in the hospital.

"How's my father doing, sir?" ask Ayu with her gentleness.

"Daddy? Apaan. Alay very deh," Keyla criticized while nudging Ayu with his elbow.

"Zafran is everyone's favorite. Except..." Ayu answered. He ended up glancing towards Lika.

"What?!" Lika who understands, immediately raise her voice. He folded his hands on his chest. Showing a pouty face.

"Udah, already. Especially you, Yu. Just gonna fight again, right?" tukas Pak Surya while shaking his head. "The matter of Zafran, you calm down. His condition is getting better. Maybe tomorrow we can join us again" he continued. Then invite everyone into the place where the race is held.

Seeing Lika's entourage coming, Ramanda came closer. He asked about Zafran's situation.

"Say he's getting better. Just calm down." Keyla became the one who responded to Ramanda's question.

"Thankful deh. He did not reply to my message because," complained Ramanda while putting on a sour face.

"Lo's dating Zafran?" ask Ayu. Honestly, he had been curious for a long time.

"God. We were a family since childhood. My relationship with Zafran is like a sibling" Ramanda explained. "Eh, do you know me. Sorry, forgot to contact. My name is Ramanda" he said, extending a hand. He meets Keyla and Ayu.

Slowly Ramanda looked at Lika who had been sitting cross-legged. The girl was focused on watching the race in progress.

"Hi, Lik." Ramanda told herself to say hello to Lika. He certainly knows the figure of Lika. Given that the girl is popular talked about by many men in her school. In addition, Ramanda also knew the details of the feud between the Baskara family and the Laksana family. He often heard it from his father and mother.

Lika looked over and smiled briefly. He was lazy to talk too much with the people closest to Zafran. Especially after hearing Ramanda's statement. That the girl and Zafran had been close since childhood.

...***...

'Clearly he did not come. He's probably happy to see that I can't make it to the national championship. Why do I think of the mouth of the chicken's ass, ' Zafran's mind while raising his shoulders. He threw his head against the pillow. Cheating with boredom and confusion.

Not long after, Ramanda arrived. His appearance made Zafran sumringah. But it did not last long, because Ramanda came with her boyfriend.

'Damn it! My mood's getting worse.' Zafran cursed in his heart.

"Zaf, you've improved, haven't you?" asked Ramanda while putting a parcel of fruits on the table.

"I think I'm going home again. I've started walking normally" replied Zafran lazily.

"I said, if you recover from a sprained leg, you still have to be careful." Ramanda gave advice. He pulled out a chair and sat down beside Zafran's bed.

"Yes, I know that you're a doctor," circus Zafran. He forced himself to smile.

"Yes my. Sinis very lo." Ramanda patted Zafran's shoulder. He did not expect that guy would give such a response.

"Gue now seriously knows. Do you like me seriously?" Zafran changed his seat to face Ramanda. This made Rian feel jealous. Moreover, he felt that Zafran was secretly harboring a taste to Ramanda.

"Zaf, why did you fall down the stairs? Take the national championship again. Very random, I swear.." said Rian while chuckling. He deliberately raised his voice, in order to stop the interaction that occurred between Zafran and Ramanda.

Zafran grunts his head. He prefers to throw his face away. Than to have to answer Rian's words.

"The name is also calamity, no one can guess, dear..." Ramanda gives the answer to the lover.

"You're right, too, baby." Rian rubbed the top of Ramanda's head. He intentionally did so right in front of Zafran.

"If you want to show off intimacy, like a hospital is not the right place," Zafran chanted while turning a puffed eyeball.

"Diddeliver! Who told the singles. There are so many girls who like to know! My friends at school asked a lot about lo" Ramanda said.

"Udah. Can we not discuss my problem?" Zafran tried to change the subject. She doesn't like Ramanda talking about men. But Zafran would rather Ramanda offer another girl to him.

"Honey, the movie is starting. We have to leave now. Some Zafran may need a break. He's the grandiose emotion of yesteryear" Rian said as he embraced Ramanda's slender waist.

Zafran again threw away his face. "Basic insensitive, it is precisely you who make me emotional," he murmured in a voice so slowly. Rian and Ramanda could not hear clearly.

"What's? You say what, Zaf?" ask Rian who thinks he is being teased.

"It's nothing. Yes, you guys are leaving now. I'll miss the movie" Zafran suggested. He gave a fake smile to Rian.

From behind the door, Fatih and his comrades came. They tell me the good news. Because Zafran is allowed to go home in a few hours. Right after the last treatment.

Ramanda, who heard the news, was delighted. After that, he and Rian left. His departure made Zafran snort in relief. In vain Ramanda visited him, if the girl came with another man.

"Gue is so glad to be home soon! So you can go around Bali deh," added Zafran jubilant. He got the news from his friends who visit often.

"Yes, it's not exciting if anyone does not come," said Ayu who was so eager to get the attention of Zafran. Incidentally he and the others, were also present to visit the man. The only person who was invisible was Lika.

"Eh, where's Lika? The feeling he had was coming along too." Keyla looked at the faces of all her friends .

"Said he was waiting in the lobby. I don't know how she is related to Zafran," Ayu responded casually. "Even after what happened to Zafran" he continued.

"Don't do that, Yu. Lika wasn't that bad a time!" Fatih did a defense for Lika.

"Gue doesn't even like him coming here. I'm tired of looking at his face, anyway" said Zafran cynically. His face looked pouted. All his friends just exchanged glances.
