After He's gone
twenty-three heal wounds

Alana returns to her room in the dorm by night. Only after Alana was really willing to leave Ananta with arkan.

He put his body on the bed. Sighs with relief as everything feels better today. The burden on his chest from a few days ago seemed to just disappear. So great was the influence of Ananta in his life. Yes, Ananta is indeed a valuable person to him.

'See if he thinks strange again.' He thought he was still a little anxious with Ananta.

Just briefly enjoying the silence he remembered there were some messages that made his phone vibrate several times. Alana can only read it one-on-one now that everything is calm again.

"Alana, Ananta why." The top one was his father, the second person who would be worried about Ananta's condition.

"Just a little grieving about the departure of Brother Fia well. Ananta's getting better now." His reply was to calm his father. Sometimes, it feels like Alana is the second child in her family. Because the first to be noticed by his father was always Ananta. Alana never protested about it, because her position was the same. Ananta everything.

The second message from Gea that he had asked about the existence of arkan. The mamba woman thought different things.

"Alana, Ananta. Cheated on? Breaking up? Why would... Kok Panik. Come dong. My favorite couple is not an enemy. Baikan yaa" Attack Gea in one long message. His guess missed altogether.

Well, like before. People will only know Alana and Ananta are a couple. Without knowing the problems that exist between the two. Hence they would worry about things that Alana herself wished the matter was as trivial as that.

"Neither Ge... I'm the same Ananta is fine." Reply Alana even though it is 2 hours late. But it was unexpected that Gea responded quickly.

"Means earlier why-napa dong... Why..." Gea was still worried. Alana has not answered her question.

"The problem is about someone from the past. But now it's nothing." Answer Alana. Alana hesitates to tell the truth. He was not used to reporting sad news like this. Moreover, Gea does not know kak fia as well.

"Yes, all right, you guys... May luv" Reply Gea again with a sentence that is more suitable said by parents to their children. Alana just smiled and sent me the biggest smile emoticons and pictures of love. It feels good if there is someone who supports his relationship sincerely.

The next day Alana was already standing in front of Ananta's dormitory. Ignoring the curious gazes of the other children about the presence of women in their dormitories.

Alana stared cheerfully as soon as she saw Ananta appear at the dorm door. She ran a little before inserting her hand on Ananta's left arm, to take him to school.

"Pagiii" she ignored the careless gaze of the air standing beside them. Ananta looked tiredly at the two. Especially when I put my hand on my left arm. He felt like a prisoner going to jail. But he can only give up. Because their response was quite reasonable after seeing his condition yesterday.

"Yuk." Alana and arkan compact before bringing Ananta to school.

"Later to gather to the cafeteria after rest" said Alana firmly when releasing Ananta to a different class with him. Ananta just nodded with a faint smile.

"Promise" Alana pulled out her little finger.

"Shame ra, again rame" Ananta protested as he saw some other students looking at his Direction while laughing. Without caring about it Alana takes Ananta's hand and links Ananta's pinkie to him.

"Udah." Alana smiled smugly looking at Ananta trying to cover her face as she linked her little finger.

"Let's take care of him." Alana leaves Ananta on arkan. This time seriously. Only then did Alana wave her hand to go to her own class.

If they were a class, Alana would have bought Ananta more than this.

Alana put the bread on the table. The same bread that Ananta gave him yesterday when he didn't go to the cafeteria. He quietly threw a meaningful smile at Ananta.

"Yes yes. Noisy" Angry Alana immediately went again to order three bowls of meatballs and three iced oranges for their lunch before rejoining to where Ananta was sitting.

"Taa... You're at the Olympics tomorrow?" Alana asked the agenda that Ananta had neglected for a few days. Although like no care at all, Ananta is still written as a participant in the national level competition.

"Hmm yes." Answer Ananta briefly. After this he will catch up with intense learning again.

"Win or lose, I still love you. Don't fight hard." Alana shamelessly spoke of her love in public. He didn't want any trouble about it in Ananta's heart.

"Buset bar-bar once you. Good thing my boyfriend doesn't." Sahut arkan commented on Alana's behavior that was too bold for women's size.

"Hush quiet. You're not in conversation" Angry Alana. Ananta just took a deep breath while wiping his chest hearing the ramblings of the two.

After all, if you have chosen to do something Ananta always does the best he can. Even so, he only agreed with Alana's words so that the woman was calm.

She was very grateful in fact, with Alana's attitude sticking to her again without much comment on what she revealed yesterday. It makes her comfortable and feel fine even though she has been caught crying in front of Alana.

"Eh after the race, want to go for a walk?" Say it in between their jokes. He just said ordinary words without knowing the sentence would invite a sparkling gaze from an Alana.

"Come on" Reply Alana excitedly. Ananta stared tiredly with the two creatures who turned out to be the same frequency when talking about having fun.

"Eh but I don't want to... If we were just three." Say it again. He had already imagined how terrifying it would be to go on romantic walks and become the third person between Alana and Ananta. He shook his head a few times to stop the terrifying shadow.

"So? Not coming?" Alana asked in a slightly disappointed tone. Very little, because even if the road alone with Ananta will certainly remain fun.

"Nonsense. As long as arkan can disturb Alana and Ananta, arkan must follow" he said with a sentence that made Alana a little amused to hear it.

"Certainly? What'd it want?" Ask Alana again.

"I'm taking my girlfriend, you're taking Ananta." Say final. It was met with a look of disbelief from Alana.

"Gee. Does Arkan really have a girlfriend?" Once again Alana's eyes sparkled to hear what she had doubted. From what Alana saw, it was very unconvincing that a person could be loyal to one person.

"I should say a few times ha let you be sure" Reply to a little emotion. Ananta could quickly believe but the woman in front of him actually doubted it continued.

"Okay, then we go four." Alana turned her eyes to Ananta who was forcing a smile.

"I haven't said yes" Ananta said, speaking up.

"should." Say arkan and Alana firmly, staring at Ananta together.

Well. These two people are very compact in strange and exciting things.

The plan was already decided by the three. Ananta could only follow because he had no other choice. After all he knew, maybe this plan included Alana's mission to comfort him.
