Amnesia Of Love
38. Contrition

Max silent. Thinking about it. If only Brother and his friends did not interfere, maybe Rudi will tell the truth, but even so he knows if Rudi put his heart on Clara. Seen from Rudi's face that was flushed with embarrassment. Max breathed out slowly. Thinking about it made his head feel dizzy.

“If Rudi also likes Clara. Obviously I lost. A weak man like me won't be able to make Clara happy. What else do I also not know until when I can still be here?” inner Max.

“Should I just give up, huh? I seem to have to give up and let Clara with Rudi, but why don't I give up, huh?” he continued in his heart.

“Do not daydream,” reprimand Mario.

Max who had been daydreaming while looking at the car window turned his head.

“Max is not daydreaming, Brother. Just look outside,” elak Max.

“We go to the hospital, yes?” persuade Mario again without looking at Max and stay focused on driving.

Max breathed out slowly. I don't know how many times Mario has said that. Today was a bad day, he said. Though he hoped that today, he could meet Clara instead of meeting with medical equipment in the UKS.

“Max, I told you. Max is okay, Brother Rio.”

Mario still could not believe his brother's words. When is her sister okay?

“Iya, Sister knows. We're just going there to make sure. Just for a while, after that we go home,” he said.

“No. I don't want to end up in the hospital anymore. Yes, if the doctor says I'm okay. Otherwise, how?”

Mario looked at Max at a glance.

“Yes that's why we have to go to hospital. Afraid something's wrong with you. I'm worried, Max. Last time you fell, your chest hit.”

Max silent. Yes, too, he thought. If something goes wrong with her, how? Not that it will only make his condition worse. If it gets worse, then his chance of meeting Clara will get thinner.

“Ya, already, yes.”

Mario smiled with relief. Max went to the hospital too. Not in vain struggle he persuaded Max today. He immediately drove his car to the hospital. Arriving there, Max was immediately examined by Abdi's doctor.

“The collision is quite hard, so you got the pain earlier, but fortunately it's okay,” explained Abdi.

“Tuh, right. What Max said,” chirps Max.

“But that does not mean you can move as usual. You must bedrest.”

Max rounded his eyes in shock. He then shook his head noisily.

“No no no! Max can only enter today, time has to bedrest again. Don't want Om doctor!” push Max raw.

“But, right ka--“

“No want! Hikshiks ...”

Abdi and Mario are shocked. Didn't expect Max to cry like this. Mario hugged Max tightly. Trying to calm the brother.

“Cup cup. It's yes, dear Max. Maxnya Brother, is strong. Crying, anyway? Already, yes later crowded. Later if Jojo see, Max can be ridiculed all-out, you know. Already, yes.”

Max was still crying. Today Max is badmood, but people are casually adding to his ruined day.

Mario looked worriedly at Max and then he turned to Abdi as if asking for help. Abdi exhaled his breath rough. It seems that this patient is no longer able to compromise.

“Ya, already. Max doesn't need bedrest. I can go to school again tomorrow. May be more activity, but not heavy activity. If tired of rest. Don't force. Do not force to remember too, it is not good for your condition.”

Max stretched out his embrace while still being as excited. He nodded obediently. This is better than he who has to bedrest and languish in his room.

Mario rubbed both of Max's wet and flushed cheeks. So adorable in his opinion. Like a newborn baby.

UHUK!

“Tuh, you said don't cry,” scold Mario worry.

“Yo, lay Max down for a while,” Abdi's word.

Max stared hard at Abdi. Not at all scary according to Abdi. Precisely the face of Max is funny like a toddler according to Abdi.

“Just for a minute, Max. In order not to be crowded. Surely you are tired of crying earlier,” explained Abdi while taking a bottle of mineral water that is still sealed on Mario.

Mario receives it and unseals it and helps drink it to Max. Max said then drink it until half-done. It seemed like his throat was dry from crying earlier.

“Mau, yes?”

Max stared fixedly at Mario. Not to reject it either. It seems like his sister looks very worried about him. Max finally nodded. Mario and Abdi breathe a sigh of relief.

Max immediately went up to the top of the gurney and lay down. Doctor Abdi then pairs nassal canulla on Max and then arrange it according to Max's needs.

“Just a minute, really. Just one hour. Recently released. Yeah, already. The doctor comes out first. Doctors have to deal with other patients,” Abdi said.

He looked at Mario.

“If there is anything call a doctor, yes.”

Mario nodded.

“Sya, doc. Thank you,” answered.

“Don't be naughty ya big baby,” said Abdi on Max while rubbing Max's head slowly make Max snort do not like.

Abdi just chuckles then immediately goes out of there before his adorable patient goes berserk.

...**** ...

“Kak, stop! Don't bother him anymore. Brother himself, it was the one who said that Max might be amnesiac. Why does my brother still bother him? What if something happens to her?” roy's Perspiration.

Rey smiled at him.

“Why? Isn't that what you want? What happened, hmm?”

Roy.

“The prison has made me aware. If I've been wrong all this time. I'm evil. My irishness has blinded the eyes of my heart, Brother. I've made Max wretched. At that time I was satisfied, but all that was gone when I was in prison. That satisfaction turned into regret. Fear and guilt become one. I'm afraid of myself. I've become a demon. Not human anymore. Where is my heart? To where? I feel like I want to go back in time and fix everything.”

Roy paused his speech for a moment then threw his breath rough.

“I want to make up with Max because I know Max is a good guy. He is hostile to us also because he wants to help the people we are disturbing. We are wrong, brother. She's not. Just because he interfered, we're mad at him. Just because teachers and people praise and like him, we hate him. Max never hurt us. Never,” he continued.

“He was just looking for face. He wants to be praised and known by many. He's not a good guy. We're not wrong. He's the only good pretentious one. Holy oomph. Even if he's amnesiac now, it's his own fault not because of you,” Rey denies.

Roy looked at his own brother.

“Why does Brother still not understand? Why does he still have a grudge against her? What do we get from our grudges? The answer is none, brother. There are only regrets. My teenage years are gone because of my revenge. Father also no longer cares and no longer considers us his son. Our company is destroyed. Our family is broken and it's all because of the grudges I've done, brother. Not because of Max. It is our grudges that destroy our lives.”

BRAKK!

“Omong empty! Don't lecture me!”

Rey looked at her sister. He then chuckles.

“Toooooooooooooooo. All your regrets are too late. Our family is destroyed because of our revenge. Your stupidity. That thoughtless act of yours is what broke us and now you tell me to stop?”

Rey shook her head slowly.

“No will! I'll stop if Max and his twin brother are destroyed. I'll just stop. Our fate will be the same. That's fair, right?”

Roy looked at his brother in disbelief. Why is it so hard to make her brother change?

“No, Brother. Please, don't do that. Max's situation right now, it proves that they're not okay either, just like us. I beg you, Brother. Stop this whole thing. Don't hurt him anymore. Don't hurt them. Don't make me more tormented. Don't make my regrets grow. No, Sis. Please,” please Roy.

But Rey doesn't care. He was tired of everything that his sister said to him.

“Nasi is already a porridge. And this is all because of you. I just went ahead and finished your mission. I'm goin. Take care,” said Rey.

“Kak, wait for me Brother! Don't be like this! Please stop, brother! Brother Rey!” shouted Roy.

However, the prison warden stops him until Rey disappears from his sight.

“Please,” said Cassie with a smile.

He put a bowl of boiled noodles Clara's favorite meatball flavor complete with meatballs, sausages, and even sawinya. He also placed a glass of cola complete with ice cubes.

Clara stared at the food and drink in front of her.

“Come, eaten. I made it special for you. If it's cold, not good, loh.”

Clara's not budging. He's still pissed at Cassie's mouth. Because of Cassie, Rudi insulted Max.

Cassie pulled Clara's hand slowly. They were facing each other at the dining table.

“I'm so sorry. Please, I'm sorry. I promise I won't do it again. I admit I was wrong to insult Rudi. Because of me, Rudi insulted Max. I'm sorry, Ra. I'm so sorry. Please, I'm sorry. Please,” please Cassie.

Clara looked flat at Cassie until she was surprised to see a tear falling in the corner of Cassie's eye.

“Please, I'm sorry, Ra. You're myfriend. You're mybest friend. I don't want to be silenced by you. I can't keep going like this. I'm scared, Ra. I'm afraid of losing you. Please forgive me,” Cassie said softly while occasionally sobbing.

Clara smiled and stood up from her seat and walked over to Cassie. She hugged Cassie tightly.

“Do not cry. You crybaby. Since when do you like to cry, huh? Usually also you're the one who says I'm a crybaby,” ledek Clara.

Cassie was crying.

“I've forgiven you, Cassie. Just so you promise not to repeat it again.”

Cassie nodded her head noisily.

“Iya, I promise, Ra. I promise!” cassie said in spirit.

“Wah, what's going on? Did Aunt miss something?” ask Viona who came to them.

Clara and Cassie let go of their arms. Cassie wiped her tears.

“Nothing, Tan. There is just a misunderstanding, but now everything is sorted out, kok,” Cassie said quickly.

“Good,” sahut Viona. He looked at Clara.

“Oh, yes, Ra. Your friend Rudi is outside. Our neighbor said he was outside two hours ago.”

Clara and Cassie rounded her mouth and both of her eyes were shocked.

“Two hours, Tan!” squealing Clara and Cassie in unison.

Viona nodded.

“Yes, he said so. Auntie asked, she said she was waiting for you, Ra. He wants to meet you. He's called and sent you messages many times, but you still don't want to see him,”.

“He did that, Ra?” ask Cassie.

Clara shook her head.

“I don't know. My phone's in my room. From earlier I did not play mobile,” replied Clara.

He then ran up the stairs to his room upstairs.

“Be careful, Ra!” viona and Cassie.

Viona then looked towards the table, where there was a bowl of highly appetizing noodles.

“Have Clara?” ask Cassie.

Cassie nodded.

“Create Aunty only. Let Clara Cassie make it again, because it's a pity if it's cold, it's not so good. What else Clara seems like there are still many affairs,” said Cassie.

“Serious, this Aunt eat?” ask Viona reassuringly.

Cassie nodded.

“Iya, Aunt. Cassie also had the intention to make one for Aunt after Auntie came home.”

Viona smiles. He is happy with the presence of Clara and Cassie in his house. In addition to both helping the business of the shop. They also help with their work at home.

“OK, Aunt eat, yes. Thanks, dear Cassie,” Viona said as she devoured the noodles in front of her.

Cassie's heart warms. She is grateful to be able to meet good people like Clara and Viona.

“Back you, Aunt Viona dear,” sahut.

Which made them both smile.

...****...

THE CKLEKK!

Rudi looked up. He then got up from his seat. He was sitting on the floor. On the front porch of the Viona florist. Viona told her to come in, but Rudi refused.

“Ra,” said with a smile on her lips, inversely proportional to the appearance of tangles that exist on her because waiting for the arrival of Clara up to two hours. Thankfully, the weather is hot. Until the night wind did not make him freeze to death.

Clara's still not budging. Still staring at him flat. Makes Rudi smile. Now he is full of regrets.

“Sorry ..”.

“I'm sorry for everything I said in school. I didn't mean to say it all. I have a lot of respect for Max. He's the one who helped me, when no one dared to fight Rey. I'm really sorry, Ra.”

Clara fell silent. Just intending to listen.

“I know I was wrong, Ra. I regret. My words are outrageous. I shouldn't have said that about Max. I was actually worried about it, not the other way around. I'm afraid Max is very sick, Ra. That's why I tried to help him. I'm afraid something happened to her.”

Clara stared blankly at Rudi. Rudi's words were the same as his feelings now. From the beginning he was very worried about Max. Even he tried to refrain from seeing Max for fear that his presence would endanger Max's life. Whether it was excessive or not, but that was how he felt. He even felt Max like a fragile glass, which would break if he touched it.

“I know you're very angry, Ra. So you silenced me and did not want to answer the phone or reply to my message,” said Rudi.

Rudi's words spread his daydream.

“I'm mad at you, but about your arrival, your phone and your message, I don't know. Since school I haven't played my phone. I put it in the room,” Clara said.

Rudi smiled thinly while nodding. He was happy, Clara wanted to talk to him. He didn't care what Clara said, whether it was honest or a lie. The important thing is that Clara still wants to see him and talk to him.

“Thank you. Although you have not forgiven me, but I am glad you still want to talk and see me,” said Rudi sincerely.

Clara exhaled slowly.

“I forgive you,” said Clara.

Rudi looked at Clara in disbelief.

“I forgive you, but you have to promise not to say that again let alone in front of Max. You have to promise not to hurt her. You want to promise, right?”

Rudi fell silent. A little unwilling when he heard Clara was so concerned about Max's feelings. Really, he's jealous now, but that's okay. It's better than losing Clara. An angel who transformed into a human being, he thought.

“Iya, I promise, Ra. I'm not gonna say that anymore, let alone in front of Max. I promise I won't hurt him. It won't. I promise,” he said sure.

Clara smiled warmly at Rudi.

“Thank you. I've forgiven you, Di.”

Rudi glued.

“Yes Allah. Her smile is so sweet. If this is a dream please don't wake me up. If this is real, please let time stop so that I can enjoy this beauty that you created, Rudi's inner”.

“Which wisdom are you lying about?” muttered.
