Amnesia Of Love
30. Only the Heart Knows

"Why did you bring me here?"

Cassie looks up at Rudi after Batagor on his plate runs out but he still hasn't answered Rudi's question.

"Cassie." call Rudi again.

Cassie then cleared her throat then took the remaining cola drink half and then drank it until the toilet.

"Because I'm hungry."

Rudi squinted his eyes.

"really?" asked Rudi again more like an intimidating actually.

Cassie nodded.

"I'm hungry and I don't want to go alone. So I invite you to accompany me to the cafeteria."

Rudi crumpled his cola can. Cassie certainly saw it all. He knew Rudi must be upset with him.

"Why don't you just take Clara. Why should I?"

The question that Cassiepun was waiting for came out. Cassie smiled and turned her gaze toward the hospital garden where there were many patients there.

"Max doesn't know you very well, does he? Wherever I might leave Max with you, he'd be awkward. The sick person should be made comfortable to recover quickly. So I chose Clara to accompany him." Cassie explained.

"Is it really like that?"

Rudi looked at Cassie sharply.

"I.iya. You..this is why?" nervous Cassie for a long time she was also not comfortable being stared at like that by Rudi.

"Hhh..You want to match Clara to Max, right?" cynical Rudi.

Cassie was silent and had no intention of answering.

Rudi chuckled cynically at Cassie who was just silent.

"Why should I go to Max? I also like Clara. They haven't dated, have they? Why do you have to match them like that? Why not with me? I also have the right to approach Clara not just Max." demanded Rudi who began to burn emotions.

Cassie bit her lip and exhaled her rough breath.

"sorry. I didn't mean it that way. I just want to give Clara and Max time alone. They haven't seen each other for a long time so I just wanted to give them a chance to chat. Anyway, I told you, Max would probably be awkward talking to you, while Clara, Max already knew. As for you who likes Clara, you should tell her directly. Don't be mad at me. I don't know anything about your heart." Cassie said.

Rudi bowed lethargic.

"It has. I've said it but Clara hasn't given me the answer.hhh.."

"Oh." said Cassie flat.

"That's your pain." Cassie's inner.

"Cassie.." call Rudi.

Cassie looked at Rudi with a questioning look without a sound.

"What.. Does Clara like Max?"

Cassie put her shoulders together.

"Where do I know. I'm not Clara. But..maybe, right? Max is handsome, kind and smart. So Clara could have liked it." Cassie replied lightly.

Rudi exhaled rough breathing then leaned on the canteen chair while staring at the ceiling.

"That's not all the size someone could like the opposite sex, Cassie."

Cassie nodded.

"Yes I know but the kindness that men give can foster a sense of love in a woman. One of them is Clara and..."

Cassie hung up her words for a moment.

"And Max might. So if you want to take Clara's heart. Do good especially to Clara. Maybe Clara's heart will eventually be touched but that's just a possibility huh. It's just my opinion because I don't know about Clara's heart either, and in Clara's heart there's someone special who hasn't been replaced yet."

"What?! Someone special?! Who is?! Who's she?" rudi urged.

Cassie put her shoulders together again.

"Where do I know. It's just a possibility. So only Clara and God know."

Rudi fell silent.

"Ekhm!" Cassie berdehem.

Rudi looked up, looking at Cassie who had risen up from her seat.

"I'm going back to Max's nursery. You wanna come?" cassie asked who answered a lazy nod by Rudi.

Rudipun got up from his seat. Just a few steps they walked, in front of him there was Mario who looked at the two of them with a probing gaze.

"What are you doing here?" ask Mario.

Rudi looked at Mario's face. A second later his mouth and two eyes fused.

"Wahhh!! You look like Max! You must be Max's twin brother?!" asked Rudi enthusiastically.

Mario nods at Rudi's strange glance then the direction of his gaze back at Cassie.

"You haven't answered my question. What are you doing here?"

Cassie pointed to herself.

"Me?" tanyanya pretended not to understand.

"Oh yes Lord. You're really annoying! Of course I'm asking you, CAS-SIE." piqued Mario with word emphasis.

Cassie chuckles.

"I'm hungry. So I eat batagor here. Wh why? Do you want to pay it for me? Emmm.but no need. I already paid for it."

"Ckk!!"

Mario clucked in annoyance.

"Stop the base of the bed. You must be with Clara, right? Where's she?"

Cassie was silent not saying just looking at lazy Mario. Likewise with Rudi who just silently listened.

Mario looked at Cassie full of probes.

"Why are you quiet?"

A second later Mario's face stiffened.

"ah! Don't-don't-don't he's in-!"

Marco who realized something immediately ran away leaving Cassie and Rudi.

"Ck! UH! SHIT!!" hide Cassie and chase Mario.

Rudi frowned not understanding.

"They why?" muttered Rudi in confusion.

Suddenly a shrill voice sounded.

"YEP!! STUPID RUDI!! FOLLOW ME!!!" squeak Cassie tight which is quite far from Rudi.

Rudi covered his face with both hands in embarrassment. People are watching him at the moment.

"Isha! Crazy jerk. Why are you saying I'm stupid?!It makes me ashamed." he said, but no doubt he also ran after Cassie and Mario.

Cassie continues to chase Mario down the Hospital corridor, leaving Rudi behind.

"YO!!! RIO!!! WAIT FOR ME!!" call Cassie tight but not Mario. Mario's run is getting faster.

"RIO!!!"

BRUKK!

"Aww!!"

A teenage boy falls over after being accidentally hit by Cassie.

"Yeah!! You!!" snatch that guy.

Cassie cupped her hands together in front of her chest.

"MAFF!!" cassie shouted while still running.

"Crazy girl!" annoyed the man then tried to get up.

"CASSIE!! WAIT FOR ME!!"

The man who had fallen looked back found Rudi who was also running. Sly smile rises. He accidentally stuck his foot in the middle of the road.

Rudi who had been left behind continued to chase Cassie without looking down the road until she tripped over the leg of the man who was hit by Cassie earlier and fell to the cold floor.

BRUCK!!

"Awww!!! Sakittt!" ringis Rudi while rubbing his painful knee.

The sound of weirdness was heard making Rudi look up at someone who was now in front of him. Both of Rudi's eyes immediately faded. He was both shocked and afraid of being made.

"Sister...Rey.."

Yep. The man Cassie hit was Reynaldy. Reynaldy smiled obliquely looking down at Rudi.

"Why? Sick? I did it intentionally. Just blame your girlfriend for bumping into me. Ah.wait.. I just remembered. You're the boy Max helped. Ah, the more I'm glad I did."

Reynaldy then squatted equal to the height of Rudi who is currently still sitting. He whispered in Rudi's ear.

"Tell Max, from now on he has to be careful of me. I'll make the illness recur often which means I'll kill him slowly. Tell him yes. Hye!" whispered Reynaldy then patted Rudi's shoulder many times and left Rudi alone.

DEG! DEG! DEG!

Rudi felt his chest slowly. His heart beats unbecoming.

"A.p.ap.pa mak..sudnya..?"

Rudi stared at Reynaldy's back which was getting lost in the distance.

"Su.aranya.so.rot his eyes..really creepy.." said Rudi trembling.

****

"Why is it still here?" max asked quietly as he flicked his hand at Clara.

"You kicked me out?" ask Clara.

Max shook his head slowly.

"No. I didn't say that." elak Max.

"Ckkp. Your hand shows it's Max." decak Clara's upset.

"I didn't throw you out. I just don't want to make Rudi misunderstand us. So you better catch up with Rudi soon"

PLAKK!!

"AWW!!! Sss..sakitt..! Why did you hit my arm anyway?" max shouted while rubbing his arm that was hit by Clara's blow.

"Opinie! Opinion! Keep on saying as you please! Who's dating, huh?! I haven't even known him for a long time! How can I date her?!" angry Clara did not accept.

"Yes, it might be ka-"

Max's words were cut off and what sounded was a ringing.

"Shhss..You were wrong place. It's supposed to be my right arm that you hit not the left." ringis Max.

Clara frowned confusedly not understanding what Max was talking about but a second later she was shocked to see the blood flow in Max's infusion go up.

"Yahoooo!!!!! Excuse me. I'm sorry Max."

Clara instantly improved the infusion flow rate of Max. After returning to normal. He breathed his breath too.

Max shook his head while clucking.

"Ck! Never mind, I'm fine Ra. No need to worry."

Clara belittles.

"Who's worried? I'm not worried about you. This is all because of you!"

Max rounded his mouth wide in disbelief at Clara's words.

"Bright. Why me? It's your fault. I'm a victim, you know." Max confused.

"Yes, of course you're wrong. If you don't have an opinion, I won't be mad at you and won't hit you. It means you're wrong." said Clara in self-defense.

"Hhh..Yes, I was wrong. Patient's wrong here." said Max while rolling his eyeballs lazy.

"Yes indeed." said Clara.

Max just shook his head slowly and then he cleared his throat.

"Ekhm..So then?"

Clara grunts.

"Of course we're not dating. I told you earlier. I've only known him for a few days."

Max nodded his head.

"So you never liked a guy in just a few days huh? It's gonna be a while." asked Max.

Clara hesitated.

"And that's it.you.." murmured Clara but Max could not hear.

Max scrunched his forehead.

"Huh? What were you talking about, Ra? Sorry, I didn't hear."

Clara glared then shook her head noisily.

"NO! NAY! NAY! I didn't say anything." elak Clara finally. His face was flushed like a boiled crab.

Clara turned her gaze to the bedroom window to avoid Max's gaze.

Max pulls Clara's hand.

"Hey, what did you see? Just look here."

Clara had to look at Max. Max smiled looking at Clara's reddened face.

THE CKLEKK!

The door opens, and Max and Clara turn to the door without letting go of their hands.

Max and Clara are shocked to see who is coming.

"You/Silvana??!" clara and Max said at the same time.

SERIATE...
