After He's gone
forty-seven, something that is not over yet

After driving again for some time, Alana, Gea and Rara arrive at Arkan's house. This time it was Gea who took the lead because he was the one who had known Arkan the longest, was also the one who was the most familiar. Gea has a member's title at the club, but lately he has been close to managing duties since Arkan became ill. He has many complaints that he wants to convey to Arkan even though Rara and Alana have warned not to say it in front of his patients directly. Well, how else would they ban this Gea who would definitely not want to hear such a ban.

Unlike when visiting Ananta, Arkan's condition tends to be worse so he still lies down a lot even though he can go home. Recovery for wounds and some bone fractures seems to take a long time before recovering as before.

"Are you really sick?" ask Gea. That silly question he just threw out after seeing Arkan who was just lying on the bed.

They were allowed to enter the room, while Arkan's mother was still busy getting food from the kitchen. Arkan who heard it cast his regretful gaze. It was common for Gea to talk this way, but she did not expect to be asked that way when she had just met, still sick again.

"yes. You may not pretend like this" Arkan replied. Alana stared in amazement as she could still make a loud voice despite being grimacing in pain. His bandage-filled body was almost mummified, but his words were still the usual Arkan.

"There's still a hospital smell" he said, putting a bandage in his hand that still smelled of alcohol or revanol. Gea just nods and nods to the pungent smell that is still attached to Arkan's body.

"why, good tumben. peek here" continued Arkan, complete with a smile as annoying as usual.

"dih, gurgling. Intention here do not want to know, but want to protest. Because Arkan the most active manager is sick of his duties so much is poured into Gea. This is the busiest. I should have come here to thank you. okay?" gea said in annoyance while pointing at herself.

"so you have to get well before I hit more than this because of stress" Gea said. The sentence was like good intentions even though it was delivered rather rudely.

"Kalem Gea.. This is a sick man" said Rara. patting Arkan on the back. He knew Gea wasn't seriously upset, but if Arkan's mother heard he must have thought of fighting.

"yes, if the same objection task can be sent to be done from home. This same hand brain still works really, even so a little lola" Reply Arkan still nyolot. If this continues they can actually fight. Alana started to panic even though from earlier she could only watch the commotion in front of her.

"already.even this storm anyway. Gea, where the fruit was love to Arkan." said Alana trying to improve the atmosphere. Just kidding, but Alana is panicking because she saw Gea was already ruffled waist. If only polite Alana would have called Arkan's mother to wait for them because this Gea can only be tame if in the eyes of adults. Surely he turned into calm if Arkan's mother here, just like when he just entered earlier, at the front door he smiled sweetly as if his soul was exchanged with Rara's soul usually.

Gea still snorted in annoyance, although his hand obeyed Alana to get the fruit parcel she had prepared earlier.

"Nih, sampe in the fruit. I'm sincere really not really good what your members are. The fix must be in love gift anyway, the most kind and loyal member" said Gea thrusting the fruit that was brought Rara who just sat quietly watching everything that happened.

"Where is this?" gea asked again this time a little more calmly. His face looked serious as he was actually sympathetic.

"what?" reply Arkan confused. The question is who will understand.

"how are. Is it healed yet?" gea asked a little more understanding than before. This time it seemed like Alana's soul was going into Gea's body, until her side of the pedulle came out.

"the external wound is dry. But his internal wounds are still not, he must recover a bit long." replied Arkan as if. If you explain the details, even Gea, Rara, and Alana will not understand. It took a long time until he was able to return to school. If asked who will recover faster, Ananta or Arkan. Gea continued to chat, but Alana did not listen at all, suddenly her mind fussed again with the same question.

'is this all still about my silly thoughts back then? it still feels strange that they say people like Arkan can suddenly get hit in a coma. Arkan I know is not as careless' Alana's mind wandered again until the smile on her lips seemed to fade away by her own thoughts.

Seeing Arkan directly like this made him unable to stem those bad thoughts, because after all it could have happened. Remembering this was about an Arkan whose head was much more mysterious than the silly smile he had appeared on the outside.

After chatting for a long time, Arkan's mother forced them to eat in the living room, home-cooked dishes that looked delicious she had prepared lined up on a table complete with rice and spoon dishes. After being forced several times, Gea and Rara finally went to the living room, while Alana lasted for a while to tuck in Ananta's luggage.

"it looks tacky and ancient, but this is from Ananta, and read it later" said Alana lirih, very soft to almost unheard. It's a secret, about a message from Ananta that should be the secret of the three of them. He soon catches up with Gea before they question his whereabouts.

"hmm? why Na? talking to Arkan alone?" asked Gea who was too sensitive with Alana's movements. Good thing Gea did not get to see the letter, if not he would have dug up all the secrets in Alana's mind.

"nothing." reply Alana briefly.

"siniii eat" Gea asked Alana only to be admired by the host who looked on with a laugh. Gea seems very comfortable visiting Arkan's house.

"heiii the host is not you, so be it" angry Alana. Gea's behavior is of only two kinds. If not suddenly embarrassed. Just look now that he has eaten so voraciously while praising the cuisine of Arkan's mother. Alana would not be surprised if later Mother Arkan would adopt Gea because of her magical behavior.

And the mission succeeded, no matter what the contents of the letter from Ananta, Alana managed to deliver it without being discovered by others.
