After He's gone
twenty one. Medicinal

It took quite a long time for Alana to return to the school dormitory because the overlapping public vehicles to return home had not gone in the opposite direction. Can not wait longer, finally Alana chose to ride another vehicle despite the price many times.

Along the way Alana calls Ananta's number and arkan but no one answers his call. Again Alana sent a lot of messages on both numbers even though they remained unread. His head was already filled with a bad scenario that might happen during his previous emotions. Now he misses Ananta more than usual.

After almost giving up Alana was looking for other contacts to contact. Then he stared expectantly at the gea number he had saved (or rather the gea that forcibly stored his number in Alana's mobile phone). And now he has to thank Gea for this later.

"Geea..." Writes doubt. A few seconds later, Gea returned. It was so fast that Alana was shocked to see the notification that appeared a few seconds after the message was sent.

"Allana... Not doing any activities this week... The kangen." Gea attack. Reading the message from the gea made Alana as if she heard her loud and cheerful voice firsthand. He could imagine how Gea was disappointed by his absence this morning.

"Are you there?" Ask Alana directly. Sorry Gea, I'll greet you properly next time, thought Alana.

"Hm.. Notwithstanding. Here for a moment give instructions, keep going. He's allowed to go home first. It was like meeting his girlfriend. It's a hurry." Reply to the lightning-fast gea even though the message is quite long. Although Gea assumed that, she knew Arkan must be with Ananta right now.

"Oh. thanks for the information" replied Alana briefly her mind was again centered on Ananta.

"Hey hasn't been answered. Why didn't you show up?" Ask gea again with anxiety. He thinks Alana just switched the conversation. Well, he doesn't know how anxious Alana's face is right now.

"There's an emergency about Ananta. Thanks again for the information.I want to find Ananta first. Later I call again" Reply Alana quickly and then get out of the chat with gea, she again called arkan inexplicably how many times.The vehicle even feels slow now makes her anxiety even more so.

He had arrived at school but his phone was still not connected as well. Finally, despite hesitating for a while he decided to immediately run to the courtyard of the male dormitory building. In front of that tall building Alana was staring up in Ananta's room. A bit of a breakup there when not seeing any signs that Ananta is there.

Finally Alana called Arkan again every time. After ringing long enough finally this time the call is connected. From across there, Arkan let out a heavy sigh before speaking. He sounded doubtful but there was no other way he could think of now. Ananta needs Alana.

"alana. You have to come here" said before he could speak.

"I'm at the dorm door. But I can't get in." Alana replied, now she is dealing with the hostel guard. Previously he only intended to ask if Ananta was in the dorm or not. But now, it seemed like he really should go inside. He stared at the dorm guard who looked fierce. Of course she would not allow female students to enter it.

"Yet. I'm sorry I didn't intend to break the rules, but I really had to go in." Alana replied a little dispirited after being rejected several times by the woman in front of her who was looking at her with an unfriendly look at all.

"Okay, I get it. But you can't go in alone." Said the housekeeper giving up after hearing Alana and Arkan explain things with a panicked look.

"I accompany Alana to the buk... Can yes.." Persuade Arkan still trying to convince the housekeeper. He coaxed with a face that was as pitiful as Alana's.

"No. Not enough on your own. I'm coming upstairs." Answer the final mother. Better this way, than the student in front of him is entering the male dormitory with other male students.

The three of them finally went up together, then entered Ananta's room which was now filled with gloomy atmosphere because of Ananta who was still curled up on the bed.

"Ma..." Call Alana. Ananta still turned his back without moving a bit.

"Ananta." Alana rubbed Ananta's back wrapped in a blanket up to her head. Alana rubbed the blanket until she showed Ananta's face that was still shedding tears. Slowly Alana sat her body and pulled Ananta's hand to face her. His head is still down. Alana wrapped her hands around Ananta's neck, bringing those blank-looking eyes to lean on his shoulder.

Slowly, Ananta cried sobbing on Alana's shoulder with Alana still rubbing her back until Ananta calmed down again.

Alana did not expect that Ananta was down this deep due to the departure of brother Fio. Arkan says he always looks fine. Since coming home that day, she had not cried at all and was just staring blankly as if in front of her eyes there was only empty space. A sign that she's really not okay.

He remains in school although several times he will ask permission to go somewhere and go home at night. Know that Ananta did not even eat anything other than the bread he occasionally gave.

Today this week things got worse, because he didn't come out of the room at all. Arkan still had time to go to club activities, but soon returned to the dorm room out of concern.

Ananta didn't say a word to her. Don't want to see it either. Therefore he finally picked up the phone from Alana even though Ananta had banned him.

He had even made his last attempt by following all of Ananta's previous requests, but that did not make things better. Ananta needs Alana more than anything right now.

The guard mother who took Alana to Ananta's room just kept quiet and watched, staring at the stubbornness of Alana who forced her way in earlier. While Arkan has thrown his leg look since then, as if this friend has found a cure from his slump until a while ago.
