A Match for Him
67 Waiting for Freya to Return
"New year's night, aren't we together, are we?" ask Aruna.
"Come, all of you Chiro, Freya."
"Where are we going, huh? The beach?"
"Don't keep the beach, ah. Bored."
They are discussing where the new year will be. Freya kept quiet, letting her friends get busy making plans.
Plans are just plans, it turns out they're all preoccupied with work. They got word that there was mass poisoning in their clinic area. Freya, who does not have a hospital schedule today, had to go to the suburban area to treat those who were poisoned, while others were busy in the hospital because there were patients impromptu.
Dika who had contacted Nuna since then also had not received a reply from the girl. Nuna, Nania, Aruna, Rei and Marcell are in the hospital, while Freya is in the clinic.
"You help Freya there, Cell. I'll be back here again."
There is no time for rest. Even for drinking they have to delay. They don't complain, because this is the job they chose.
"We eat first, lest we treat even we are treated too," said Nania.
The others nodded, then went to the hospital cafeteria to eat. Nuna contacted Freya to ask about the condition at the clinic, but there was no response from her best friend.
Nuna also took the time to contact Dika.
[When, sorry yes I can't go with you and your family on vacation to the villa. Now that I'm in the hospital, we got a lot of patients today. Freya also went to the clinic because there were victims of mass poisoning there. Until my apologies and greetings to your family.]
After eating, they returned to their respective rooms without any time to chat.
Time turned around, Nuna sat in her work chair while rubbing her forehead. He glanced at the clock that already showed five o'clock. It's time he came home.
The road this afternoon is very jammed, because it is now the night of the new year. It was very desirable for Nuna to lay herself on a soft mattress. The densely creeping road made the trip feel very far, even though Nuna left the hospital in the afternoon, but now time has shown at eight o'clock in the evening.
Although he was tired, somehow he could not sleep. He waited for his other friend to come home.
Not long after that we heard footsteps. Nuna opens the door to her room and it turns out that it is Nania and Aruna.
"You haven't slept?"
"Yet. Freya is not home yet."
They sat in the living room, waiting for a friend who had not yet returned. Sometimes they yawn, but still try to stay awake. Like that they are, if the others have not come home, there will be a sense of worry. Like a money mother is very worried when her daughter has not come home.
"We'll just wait in the room, yuk."
"Rei's asleep?"
"Here, he didn't come out of the room. Must be tired."
Nuna looked at her phone, then contacted Ikmal.
[Freya is already the same Chiro and Arby, yet?]
[Not yet. From earlier Chiro was crying because Freya had not come as well. What I heard from Marcell, it's very messed up. There are also many police and journalists.]
[If Freya Sidah is with Arby and Chiro, tell me!]
[Yes. Sidah, you rest there. You must be very tired too. Do not let you get sick.]
Nuna no longer replied to Ikmal's messages. He glanced at the clock on the wall. Still hoping that Freya will be home soon.
