After He's gone
four. Relapsing
*Normal POV*
Today, Alana is alone in class. Ananta says he'll be late because he has to take care of something.
He did not want Alana to be late, so this time Ananta forced Alana to leave first.
"Alana, Tumben is not the same Ananta" asked Fira, their classmate who immediately caught the awkwardness that they did not come together.
"Yes, he's still taking care of something. So I was told to go first." He said honestly. Somehow today people look friendly in Alana's eyes. Ah, no. That's not it. Alana usually doesn't care about them. And because the center of attention of alana has not come so that other friends can approach it.
"Ooh, I guess why." Answer Fira.
"Hehe, it's weird that I'm not with Ananta." Alana said trying to reply in a friendly manner. Even though in his heart he felt it was very awkward and strange.
"Hahaha yes. You guys are the couple stuck in our class" said Fira again with a joke. While Alana answered with timid gestures. Alana had never heard a sentence like this, although she was sure that her name would occasionally appear in their conversations.
She did not expect it to turn out that her classmates looked at her like that.
He thought they had been left out because the other friends did not want to be close to them.
But they're not that bad.
"By the way, your perfume is very fragrant Na. I like it, the smell is right for the character of a cheerful person." Fira said interested, only this time he interacted with Alana this close. And it was only discovered that Alana was a friendly person.
After they chatted about hobbies and things they liked, the chatter was like people who just knew, because they very rarely talked to Alana. The small talk felt interesting in Alana's eyes,
Unlike what he often heard because other friends gossip more often than talking about interesting things, plus now there are Caca and Iren who come to chat. But their chatter was interrupted because the first hour had begun. The class again fell silent because their first hour was the class of a teacher who was notoriously assertive.
Ananta just showed up in class at break time. Although already said that it was too late, he finally did not enter in at her class this morning.
As soon as he arrived, he observed Alana who was chatting with some classmates. There was a thought in his mind that Alana had only closed herself from the association because she was always with him. If not with her, Alana would have had a lot of friends.
That simple thought was quite disturbing to him.
That made him want to do something that had been in his head for a long time. Well, that plan might actually run him, he'll just wait for the right time.
"Anantaa!!" Call Alana enthusiastic when you realize the arrival of Ananta at the front door of the class. Alana immediately approached and held her hand tightly.
"Hmmm immediately if you've met Ananta" said Fira as soon as he saw the two sticky back. They laugh with jokes. To them the couple looks cute and adorable.
Alana replied to him with her signature grin.
"Udah kangen tuh Ta, Alana. whereas left not until a day." goda caca, his classmate. Ananta just smiled hearing that. Maybe by chatting for a while with Alana they realize that Alana is not as closed, so they can invite her to joke.
The break passed quickly and now the sports hours began. All the students and students of the class immediately changed their clothes with sports uniforms, except Ananta. Of course, exercise as light as anything can be a danger for those who have heart disease. At times like this he would only observe his busy friends before going to the field despite just sitting in the stands.
In the field, male students played the volley quite roughly. A few times the funny scene happened because the student who failed to pass the ball. In the stands, Ananta only observed them from the sidelines. All his friends already know that Ananta is sick to not be allowed to exercise, although they never know the details, but they want to understand the lightness that Ananta can get.
Ananta's gaze was diverted to Alana who was playing basketball cheerfully. He laughed off whenever Fira received the ball nervously.
Several times he managed to put the ball in and score a number. Alana became a mainstay in the team because of it. Just by looking from a distance, Ananta was also happy. The sun was brighter than usual.
After the sport ended they washed their hands before changing clothes to school uniforms again. Alana walked leisurely without knowing the ignorant plan was waiting for her. A few boys quietly approached her from behind. And then after,
BYURR!!
"Well, it's pink" cried one of the students to make Alana aware of their intentions. With a reflex he crouched down to cover the thing they were referring to. Too panicked to not fight and just shut up.
"What the hell are you guys!" Shouted Fira who was angry because her friend was bullied.
"Oops I'm sorry, we didn't mean it" the man said in a mocking tone.
"Any accident, obviously you doused Alana on purpose" continued Iren trying to add.
Alana who looked down felt someone put on a towel to cover her body. He glanced up and found Ananta there staring emotionlessly.
"What are you guys doing?" Said Ananta in a high tone, moving closer to the boy earlier.
"We didn't mean it" again they dodged it.
Suddenly Ananta attacked the man who had spoken. He punched her many times with all his might.
"Ananta!!" Shouted Alana in panic, she pulled the arm of Ananta who was still in revolt to teach the male who doused Alana earlier. 'No. It's a danger.' thought Alana approaching once more.
Many times Alana was pushed back and fell but she still came forward trying to stop Ananta.
Till..
PLAKK!!
Ananta who felt his cheeks heat up just wanted to stop.
"You're going to kill yourself?" Alana's screams made Ananta speechless. Now he stood stiffly and lowered his head deeply, then looked up slightly to glance towards Alana. Whispers began to be heard responding to Alana's panic just now. They did not understand how much the situation could be about a person's life and death.
"Your feet" said Ananta, showing a worried look. Alana fell because she tried to stop him. His knee was injured and he was bleeding. Ananta crouched down to look at his wound up close.
Alana crouched down to see Ananta pinching her shirt on her chest. Ananta felt his chest tightening more than usual as if he was being crushed strongly by something. His heart is moving faster. And that's a sign that something bad is going to happen. His body collapsed on Alana, although he still had little resistance so as not to burden Alana completely.
"Ananta..." Call Alana, try to observe Ananta's current state.
Now the other friends are crowded around Ananta. Just realized that ananta's pain is really severe if fighting just makes it a body like this.
"Ma..." Call Ananta lirih. His hands were still creeping on his chest which was now wearing only a white T-shirt.
"Can you help bring Ananta to the UKS?" Alana said to Fira who was standing behind her. Ananta can still answer. So Ananta's condition shouldn't be as bad as he thought.
Fira soon gathers a boy to raise Ananta and take him to the UKS. Alana followed anxiously.
Doctors in the UKS checked on Ananta, for a while.
"His condition is fine Alana, her body is just a little panicked. It should be able to improve after a break for a while" said the doctor after examining the state of Ananta.
But Alana was not satisfied to hear that answer. He told Ananta's condition in detail and asked the doctor to observe Ananta's condition again.
Alana's friends who are still in the UKS began to whisper again about what they just heard. The voice subsided after Alana stared at them intently. One by one start away from the UKS to avoid a slightly uncomfortable situation.
"He's fine. Just need to calm down. He needs to check up to the hospital again if there are other symptoms after a short break" the doctor said after checking for a second time. This time Alana was really happy. He then approached Ananta with annoyance.
But his gaze loosened after seeing Ananta lying down also looking towards him
