Max is now lying on a UKS bed with nassal canulla attached to his nose and also an infusion on his right hand. Mario, who is now sitting next to him, does not stop persuading Max to go to the hospital. Worried something serious happened to the heart of the Sister, considering the Sister fell down with her chest hit the floor.
“Max is okay, Brother. Brother Rio don't worry. All are safe, kok.”
Mario clasped Max's hand tightly free from the infusion. Max's words still didn't calm him down.
“Di, your wound is okay, right?” max asked as he glanced at Rudi who was sitting on the next bed, behind Mario sitting.
Rudi nodded steadily.
“Iya. Sip. Just chill. I'm it's okay. This is just a small wound,” replied Rudi while pointing at his elbow wrapped in plaster.
Mario looked back and stared intently at Rudi.
“Why, anyway, Yo? Me and Hayden, you explained it. It's not me who's wrong, but Rey.”
Mario still stared intently at Rudi, not heeding Rudi's words at all.
“But why should you push my sister? There's no other way, what? What you did was very dangerous,” annoyed Mario.
Rudi exhaled his breath violently.
“It's hard talking to you. I think cats understand better than you,” said Rudi.
Mario stood up from his seat.
“You spied me a cat?!” mario's snaps don't accept.
“Hey, Brother. Calm down,” said Max while holding Mario's hand.
Meanwhile, Rudi was inching back, afraid that Mario would do nothing to him.
“Yo, it was an emergency. I don't know what I should do. Anyway, I don't know if pushing Max down would make Max go like this. I'm the one who also fell with him, not why,” explained Rudi.
Max heard it. Rudi's words seemed to explain how extremely weak he was right now.
“What do you actually hurt, Max? You were in a lot of pain, especially your chest. Don't you sa---“
“Whispering! Thank you for helping my sister. I won't mind what you did just now, as long as you shut up now,” Mario threatened.
Rudi nodded slowly. It feels free to talk to Mario at this time. He knew it was because Mario loved Max so much.
“Sama-sama. It's nothing. Max also helped me at that time,” said Rudi.
Mario scrunched his forehead and looked at Max fixedly. He was just about to ask Max about the intention that Rudi said, but not so when he saw Max who was silent with a blank look.
“Max,” call Mario worried while gently rubbing Max's head.
“Why? Is anyone sick, hemm?” ask again.
Max blinked his eyes and looked at Mario. He shook his head slowly.
“It's okay, Brother. Just limp,” replied Max, not completely lying. It's just that's not what makes him silent at this time, but because of the words from Rudi earlier.
“What Rudi said is true. He only when he fell is okay, while I was almost dying just from falling earlier. I'm really weak,” her inner self.
Mario and Rudi looked at Max worriedly as Max again looked dreamy.
“Yo, should we take Max to the hospital?” advice Rudi.
Mario nodded, agreeing with Rudi's words.
“Max, ki-“
“Food comes!!” shouted Jonathan.
Jonathan and Hayden just got out of the cafeteria. They bought food for the five of them. Although soon the bell will ring, but they still took the time to eat because Jonathan said, life was to eat. Okay. Forgetit. Let Jonathan alone with his strange thoughts.
“No need to scream. Can, right?” scold Mario pissed. He is upset that his words were cut off by Jonathan.
“Ckk! Yes, sorry. Already, don't get angry. Come, eat. Soon the inbound bell rang.”
Jonathan and Hayden immediately prepare food and drinks for the five of them aided by Mario and Rudi. Max was silent while watching them. He also occasionally glanced at Rudi.
“Do I just ask her directly, yes?” inner Max.
“Di,” call Max.
Rudi looked at Max.
“Iya, why Max?” ask Rudi.
“Do you like Clara?” max asked slowly, making everyone stop their activities. Even Rudi to the surprise of his making.
“A .. I ...”
...**** ...
“Where are we going now?” cassie asked as she tidied up her school equipment and put it in her bag.
“To where? Go home. Where else?”
Cassie nodded her head softly at Clara's reply.
“You don't want to go to Max's class first? Maybe he's still in class now. We haven't seen him at all. In the cafeteria there was only Hayden and the Jojo,” he said.
Clara fell silent. He really wanted to meet Max. There was a lot he wanted to ask, but considering Mario, Hayden and Jonathan he didn't like it. He broke everything. He did not want to make a mess and ended up with Max's condition worsening again.
“Already, let's go home, Cassie. I don't want to mess up today,” says Clara.
“Ckk! Just meet him. Not making a fuss, Ra.”
Clara shook her head and moved from her seat.
“Wahh! Thank goodness you guys haven't come home!” rudi shouted happily as he ran over to Clara and Cassie. Not paying attention to the gazes of the entire class who have not all left the class.
“Hey, do not casually enter the class of people!” reprimand Cassie.
Rudi spread his shoulders no matter what. He looked around. When the students came out. He also ventured.
“You have no time today? We go for a walk, yuk.”
Clara and Cassie stared at each other.
“You're birthday?” ask Clara.
“No. Not because of that. Just want to walk, eh?! Mean three with you.”
Cassie looked at Rudi full of probing. Because he knew that Rudi just wanted to be alone with Clara. What else when Rudi clearly, admitted that he liked Clara while in the hospital at that time.
“Three streets. They were alone and I was like a mosquito. It's delicious!” cassie's upset.
“Your hand why?” clara asked worriedly to see Rudi's hand in the plaster. Cassie looked at Rudi's hand.
“He's a man, Ra. That, it's ordinary. Most also out fighting or maybe he was careless like you.”
It wasn't Rudi who answered, it was Cassie. Clara stared at Cassie sharply as she heard Cassie saying it was sloppy. He did not like it, even though he was reckless.
“Sok know. I did not fight or careless Cassie, but because I helped Max who was almost hit by the ball,” denied Rudi.
“What?!” surprised Clara.
“Then what happened? Is Max okay?!” panic Clara.
“Yes, he's okay. But, I do not know if I was late to help him,” replied Rudi.
“Actually what happened? Why is Max getting hit by the ball? And why did you get hurt for helping Max? Were you guys playing ball? Come, explain!” cassie's orders.
Rudi stared flatly at Cassie.
“Seenaknya just rule me,” said Rudi.
“Already, just explain. What's the trouble, anyway?!” irritated Cassie while occasionally glancing at the worried-looking Clara.
“Yes, I explained, but later you guys come with me for a walk, yes?”
Cassie nodded her head noisily.
“Iya, bring!” cassie ketus.
“So I saw Rey and her friends in the school field. Rey wants to prank Max. He kicked the ball hard, right at Max. Good thing I was quick to push Max, if I don't know what happened to Max. You know, Rey wasn't kidding. The kick was very tight. Even the ball that missed, hit the wall and turned to hit the trash until all the garbage fell scattered. Crazy, it's Rey,” explained Rudi while shaking his head.
“You're right, Di. That guy's totally crazy. What's the matter with Max? You know him?” ask Cassie.
“Not really. I don't really know him. All I know is he's a school thug. He's our upperclassman,” replied Rudi.
“In this elite school there are thugs?”
Rudi nodded his head slowly.
“Yes, you don't know. Clara didn't tell you?” ask Rudi.
Cassie scrunched her forehead confused. He turned to look at Clara.
“Ra, what don't I know? You never said there was a big brother like a thug here?”
Cassie looked at Clara with a demanding look.
“Sorry, I forgot. Name's Rey. He may know Max, but Max says no. At that time Max helped Rudi who bullied Rey,” explained Clara.
Cassie was shocked to hear that.
“And you were there?! Why didn't you say?! If they do something to you how?!” angry Cassie.
“Iya, sorry. Never mind, important, am I okay,” said Clara.
“Ya, yes, sih.”
Cassie then looked at Rudi.
“And you!” point Cassie at Rudi.
“Why don't you fight, until Max has to help everything? You, you're a man. Weak man time, anyway?”
Rudi looked annoyed at Cassie. He doesn't like to be underestimated.
“Cassie, don't be like that,” reprimand Clara.
“Not to fight. I just don't want to make a fuss with my upperclassman. What else am I, a new student. You don't have to underestimate me like that anyway. Max, it's the same. She was in pain when I pushed her. I was just a small wound, but she got infused and used nassal canulla all. Who do you think is weak here?! Me or him?!” angry Rudi who ignited emotions.
“Ish! A--“
“Stop! Why are you guys making a fuss?!” clara's Scolds.
“Cassie, you shouldn't underestimate Rudi.”
Cassie down. He knows he's wrong. Clara turned to look at Rudi.
“And you, Di. I don't like to hear what you say. Max is not weak. He's a brave boy. If she's weak, she can't help you who was bullied by Rey back then.”
Rudi also looked down. He didn't mean to insult Max. He was just stirring up emotions.
“Although Max got to that. It must be because he's sick, right? You, you'll see for yourself that time Max took a lot of drugs. Is it because Max is sick, you think he's weak? He was a strong boy, Di. Because even though he's sick, he still cares and wants to help you. Until he doesn't care about himself. Please, don't talk recklessly. If Max hears he'll be sad. I don't like it,” continued Clara then went out of class. Leaving two different kind human children speechless in silence there.
