Amnesia Of Love
11. Equally Injured

"Let me see" Hayden said and went outside.

THE CKLEKK!

"Oh aunt." Hayden smiled but as he looked the other way, his face turned sour.

"Hayden, this is your schoolmate, right? Get them in. Their father is waiting outside. Aunty was astonished to see them but when she saw their same uniform. Auntie's sure they're one school with you."

Hayden stared intently at Clara and Cassie.

"Oh, what's your name? I'm sorry that aunt surprised you." asked Aulia.

"Ah, it's okay aunt. Sorry, my aunt hasn't introduced herself." Clara.

"I'm Clara aunty" said Clara as she kissed Aulia dususul Cassie's hand and kissed Aulia.

"Cassie tan."

Aulia nodded.

"One more time aunt apologizes for surprising you."

Clara and Cassie shook their heads.

"It's okay auntie" said Clara, who was taken by Cassie.

THE CKLEKK!

A curious Jonathan comes out of Max's nursery.

"Eh aunt? That's fast. Auntie's not coming home?" ask Jonathan.

"Aunty wants to go home but auntie wants to take the aunt's phone first left in Jo. Oh yeah, it's your friends Clara and Cassie, you've been waiting outside. Yes aunty entered ya." said Aulia leaving silence there.

Jonathan stared intently at Clara and Cassie.

"Go." throw Jonathan out.

"Heh Jojo's. We came here to see Max. Why do you want to kick us out!" pissed Cassie.

"Because you're bullies! Your presence will only add to the problem!"

Cassie growled resentfully.

"Bother?! What do you mean, huh?! What do you think we are?! A pest?!" angry Cassie.

"You know nothing. So you better go." said Hayden, who finally spoke.

Cassie chuckles cynically.

"Don't know anything? How do we know if your mouth was sewing, Hayden?!" scream Cassie.

Clara held onto Cassie's arm and shoulder.

"That's Cassie, calm down. Remember this is a hospital. Don't make a fuss here." advice Clara.

"They go first. From yesterday their attitude really sucks. Don't know adab!" pissed Cassie.

THE CKLEKK!

"Why are you guys talking outside? Let's all come in. It just so happens that Max is still awake because it's about time Max takes the medicine and Max will go to sleep again. So you better get in fast. Yes already aunty stay yes, there must be aunty finish at home. Assalammualaikum." said to Aulia and left from there.

"Waalaikum greetings." replied Clara, Cassie, Hayden and Jonathan together.

"Be careful on the tan road!" shouted Jonathan.

"Come on Clara."

Cassie pulled Clara's hand and went straight in, making Hayden and Jonathan squeal at the same time.

"Yeah! You people! Don't come in!!"

THE CKLEKK!

"Assalammualaikum." said Clara and Cassie together.

Both of Mario's eyes are fiddled while Max just stared fixedly at Clara's face.

"Hi Max's. We came here to see you." Cassie melted the mood.

Max smile.

Jonathan and Hayden came in.

Mario stared intently at Jonathan and Hayden.

Jonathan and Hayden stared briefly at Mario then looked down as if they were saying sorry without a word.

"Hi also Cas..Cassie and..Clara right?" max said while remembering the names of the two of them when they last met.

Cassie and Clara nodded.

"Yes right. One hundred for you!" cheers Cassie.

Clara nudged Cassie's arm slowly.

"Deflect your voice. Max is sick Cassie." Clara whispered.

Cassie scratched her non-itchy nape.

"Hehehe sorry. I'm too excited." Cassie joked.

"If you have no business, you should leave" said Mario coldly.

Max holds Mario's hand. He had never seen Mario act this cold especially to women.

"Sister Rio..Don't be like that. Not good." said Max slowly.

Mario looked at Max's twin beads and sighed.

"I'm sorry." Mario told Max.

"You sa..kit what's Max?" clara asked while biting her deep lips.

Clara tries to vent, but nervousness is overpowering.

Max smile.

"Just exhausted. It's normal." replied Max.

Clara and Cassie nodded.

"What class are you two?" ask Max slowly.

Actually Max felt his body more limp when talking but he could not just keep looking at Clara and Cassie who came to see him but as if ignored and hated by Mario, Jonathan and Hayden.

"We're third grade Max.." Clara replied as she looked at Max grudgingly.

Max smile. Inexplicably seeing and hearing Clara speak made her both happy and sad. Especially when the sad look that Clara gave her felt like an invisible wound to Max.

Clara and Cassie nodded.

"Fast to heal, Max." said Cassie and embraced by Clara.

"Thank you." said Max with a smile.

Mario clasped Max's hand tightly. Mario is really not calm now so he holds Max's hand tightly to make sure his twin brother remains okay.

Max looked at the older brother, with a look as if asking. Mario knew what that look meant.

"Don't say much first. Still limp, right?" ask Mario.

Max smiled in response.

"Now you should go home. You see, Max's still limp, you're even asking him to talk." Jonathan upset.

Cassie was upset she was just about to speak but Clara held her arm.

"I'm sorry if we're interrupting, we're.." haven't finished Clara speaking.

Jonathan had already spoken first although it sounded like a mutter but it was still heard by all of them.

"Bother."

The upset Cassie couldn't hold back her anger.

"Can you speak well. Don't always make me ride black." upset Cassie with a soft but firm voice.

"Your arrival only ruins the atmosphere" said Jonathan still in a soft voice but full of frustration.

Clara looked sad. He doesn't understand why those closest to Max hate him and Cassie so much. He knew yesterday he had been acting strange and making them uncomfortable but now he and Cassie are also quite understanding not to talk strangely to Max let alone in the hospital,although there are many questions in his mind.

"You really can't be spoken to very well. Don't you understand human language?" said Cassie.

Jonathan glared sharply.

"Those who cannot be spoken to are well. We told you not to come in and better go home but you won't listen" Jonathan said cynically.

There is a long debate going on between Cassie and Jonathan. Mario and Hayden also wanted to get Clara and Cassie to leave because they were worried about Max if Clara and Cassie had been here too long but they thought Jonathan had represented them both.

While Max he just stared fixedly at Clara. He was afraid that the words Jonathan was saying hurt Clara and Cassie. Especially when he saw Clara looking down sad. Somehow made his head feel tied to a strong rope. Flashes of memory began to be recorded in his memory but everything felt like a broken cassette. His head is getting sick.

Mario was surprised when Max's grip on his hand felt tighter.

Max's face paled. Paler than before. His forehead looked like it was holding back pain. Max's hand grips are increasingly tightened even accompanied by a ringing.

"Shhhshhhs."

Mario panicked and stood up from his seat.

"Max?!" mario's shout diverted the people in the nursery to look at him.

"Sssshhhsss. Sa.kitttt.kok.." Max ringis.

Hayden immediately pressed the emergency button near Max's bed, which was also near Mario. Hayden also went out to ask for help while Mario and the others were too panicked, they didn't know what to do. He as a person who can still think that must do it even though the word calm is also not on his mind.

Not until two minutes the doctor and the nurse came.

Mario, Jonathan, Hayden, Clara and Cassie have to wait outside. They are very worried about the situation Max is in handling. Clara had even cried in silence without making a sound. His mind was completely confused. Question after question was coming to his mind. One unanswered question has raised new questions.

Cassie held Clara's shoulders soothing though she was also as worried as the others.

Jonathan approaches Clara and Cassie.

"Go!" he spoke slowly but full of emotion.

"This is what you want? You want my brother to relapse. Are you satisfied?!"

Clara and Cassie looked up and shook their heads in disbelief at what Jonathan had accused them of.

"So your words. We're not that petty. Your thinking is too far. We don't even know you. How can you accuse us like that?!" irritated Cassie while clenching her hands tightly.

Jonathan smiled lightly.

"If you realize we don't know each other yet then why do you keep following us all the way here, huh? I know for a fact you're following us, right? You guys followed our car, right?!" jonathan shouted no longer able to stem his anger. He could not help it if it was all related to the people closest to him, especially to Max.

"That's because we just wanted to be.." Clara hadn't finished speaking, Jonathan had already cut her off.

"You mean it's about M, right? Throw away your delusion about the man named M. We have nothing to do with that guy. You see how the situation is here? How's the situation inside? Max is not okay. So again I tell you to immediately PER - GI.." Jonathan explained with the word emphasis going at the end of the sentence he said.

Hayden who was silent from earlier finally woke up and approached the three of them.

"You better get out of here and keep all your questions to yourself if you don't want me to call the security forces to kick you out" Hayden said flatly.

Cassie stood up and pulled Clara slowly.

"Let's go Clara" Cassie said.

Clara nodded. Then go with Cassie away from there.

Hayden breathed out a rough breath.

"Sorry..We're all equally hurt here." - Inner Hayden.

****

After they were expelled from the hospital. They ordered a taxi online to go home. On the way Clara never ceaselessly cried.

"Don't cry anymore Clara." said Cassie won and paused her speech.

"Yes, don't listen to their words. They are just emotional." he continued.

Clara shook her head.

"I don't think about their words. I understand if they are emotional because they are too worried. What I'm thinking is what happened to Max exactly? What pain is she Cassie?hikshiks.." said Clara questioningly as she sobbed.

"How.what if..Max is very sick.. It's all my fault. We shouldn't have to go there Cassie.hikshiks.." she continued, biting her inner lip.

"Hey, don't get bitten. Your lips will hurt Ra." Cassie recalled.

"But.what if M was really him? What if..M disappeared because he was sick..Ba.." Clara's not done talking Cassie's been hugging him tight.

"Shussstt, yes. Calm yourself. Everything will be fine.okay. Relax.."

Clara nodded while still sobbing in Cassie's arms.

"The words that Cassie spoke were the same as what M had said to her.

"Not crying.. Everything's gonna be okay.."

The words kept ringing in Clara's ears.

"Where are you? Help me M. I need you.." Inner Clara.

SERIATE..
