Keara sits on the couch in the nursery of a Harris Risjad. Pensive himself bemoaned his fate which still had to be stranded here. Intentions are just to visit, what power he is required to account for his mischief by having to accompany and take care of Harris as long as the man is hospitalized.
Harris, Keara's patient, he's busy scrolling his phone with a frown. Every now and then he called someone in a serious tone, also calling his subordinates to give orders. At times he glanced at Keara with a mocking smile that was so annoying in his eyes.
Keara walked to the other side of the room, where a large refrigerator was conspicuous to her. He wanted to take something to refresh his throat. Sure enough, the contents of the refrigerator are like an indom*rt showcase. There's all.
Keara took a bottle of tea to quench her thirst. Then sit back on the couch and turn on the television to kill the deserted. The search for his channel stalled on a reality show from the Korean state. Sometimes he laughed out loud because of the funny act of filling the show in the reality show.
"K, let's take a TV I can't work." continued Harris, who immediately made Keara sneer annoyed. Instead of shrinking the volume of the television, he chose to directly turn off the television.
Keara threw herself on the couch. His eyes stare at the ceiling of this nursery. Crossed back to Bu Farida's words to him earlier. When Keara escorted Ms. Farida to the hospital lobby.
"Kearas.. " Mum Farida gently rubbed the back of Keara's hand. "Rizky told mom before she died. Mother was initially confused by Rizky's intentions at that time.. But it turns out that fate answers. Rizky's gone forever, and that message is a premonition from her.."
"P-message what ma'am?" ask Keara. Keara was always envious of people who got a hunch over Rizky's departure. Why isn't he?
"The day before the accident, Rizky told me that your relationship with Harris wasn't good. Harris is cold and looks haughty in front of you, so you don't like him. Rizky said she wanted to bring you guys closer. He wants you to know that Harris isn't as bad as you think."
Farida's mother led Keara to sit in one of the hospital waiting room chairs. While taking a breath and preparing to open the story and then his late son. There is no heart of a mother who cannot bear to remember one of her sons going before her.
Keara also looked confused. His face was pale and his forehead shriveled. Trying to understand Farida's story. Why should Rizky think of a misunderstanding between him and Harris? Is it so important that Keara should know the true nature of Harris mas, until Rizky told his mother? Wh why?
"Harris is a very loving person. Sometimes it is hard and firm. He was also hard on himself. According to the mother, it could be due to the influence of her painful past. He's been through a dark past, K.. If you see today he's successful, it's the result of his own bone slamming. He wants to prove that he can survive after being ostracized by his own family.."
"After today I found out you were raping Harris, I remembered Rizky's message. Turns out Rizky wants you to know Harris more deeply, so you can love Harris and vice versa. Like you love Rizky."
"But Ma'am.. Why did Rizky want Keara to know and be close to Harris? If only because Harris was Rizky's best friend, wouldn't I just need to know Harris?" asked Keara with a pushy look.
"Mom doesn't understand K.. You and Harris can find the answer."
'Me and Harris? We have to find the answer to why Rizky wants us to be close? But I really don't understand the purpose of this.. What does Mas Rizky mean, he wants to match us?'
Ms. Farida took a deep breath, "It was the first time Rizky brought Harris into the house when they were still Junior High. I remember, Harris was mentally unstable. Moreover, they were teenagers at that time and he experienced a severe incident for his very young age."
"Rizky kept asking her to stay at our house. She wants to take care of and be a friend to Harris, at a time when all her friends are avoiding her, even bullying her. Harris and young Rizky are very compact and affectionate with each other. If you could just give me a piece of cake, they would eat it together. If you give two pieces of cake, they also eat one cake divided by two and then one more cake divided by two. Weird, right..?" Farida's mother laughed a little.
Keara had heard this story from Mas Rizky. About their teenage years together. Harris is kara. Brought into the Rizky family by Rizky himself. Four years the man lived in Rizky's home until finally after graduating High School, Mas Harris took a scholarship to study abroad.
Mas Harris returned to Indonesia after completing his S2 education. During that time, nothing changed from his friendship with Rizky. But the difference is, after Harris became a successful person, Rizky and his family did not want to be taken into the luxurious house Harris. Rizky felt unworthy of Harris's success, as it was purely the result of his hard work. They remain friendly despite the busyness as adults become distance.
"What are you thinking?" the heavy and hoarse voice disturbed Keara's daydream. Keara turned to the bed where Harris was lying. The man looked at her with a pale face. Sitting on a bed rests on a patient's bed, holding a laptop and some files.
Keara rose from her lying position. He nodded weakly towards Harris.
"You don't worry.. The doctor let me go home in the afternoon. No need to open again." Harris smiled at Keara. The man could guess that Keara felt burdened by having to keep her in the hospital.
"really?"
"Hemm.." said Harris with a nod and a smile that continues to be recommended to Keara. "So you can go home now.."
Keara did not answer. He looked at Harris.
"But before I go home, may I ask you to get me some water to drink first." Harris grinned. Look handsome, Inner Keara. "My glass is empty."
Again, Keara did not answer. But this time he got up to fill a glass of Harris drinking water in the mineral water dispenser next to the refrigerator. Then keep the glass back on the nightstand next to the bed.
Keara ventured to sit on the edge of Harris' bed. He looked at the man and looked at him in silence.
"Yes..."
"Hem?"
It occurred to Keara that Harris said during a pilgrimage to Rizky's grave yesterday. Which he accidentally heard. Could it be that Harris also received a will from Rizky? So that the two of them become close.
"Help me, Ky.. Like you always helped me.. This time help me again. Doesn't this also want you? I can get close to him..? Aye right? Then show me how.."
Seeing Keara flinch, Harris caught something that went wrong. He put his laptop and work files on the nightstand next to his bed. Then further enforce his sitting position closer to Keara.
"What's K?"
"Mas Harris, may I know what the talk of mas in Rizky's tomb was yesterday?"
Harris swallowed his saliva.
"Did Mas Rizky give a final message before his departure?"
"Hem.." Harris was weak.
"What is mas?"
Harris breathed deeply. "He wants us to be close."
"But why?"
"Come K.. I-I didn't understand it at first either, and then the accident happened and made me understand that it was Rizky's will.."
Keara was crying. Her tears can't be stopped anymore. The river is flowing. Her heart aches and misses her future husband. A very gentle man who loved him very much.
Harris doesn't know what to do. Seeing Keara cry was really something new to her. To Harris Risjad. Not Galen. With a stiff and awkward movement he grabbed Keara's shoulder and clenched the girl's head to her chest.
"Perhaps Rizky meant, she doesn't want you to misunderstand my cold attitude, Keara.. He wants us to be friends. Maybe they can be friends. But if it's too burdening for you, enough good relationship we got here K.. Enough to not hate me for thinking I'm arrogant. I'm sure Rizky will understand up there. Don't push yourself.."
Keara's crying broke. In Harris' arms he's been spilling all the pain in his heart all this time. Since leaving Rizky, every day he had to pretend strong and cheerful in front of his mother and mas Arman. Keara did not want her two loved ones to know how broken her heart was.
But now, he also did not understand how he could be so comfortable crying in the arms of a man he had not previously liked. But anyway, this guy is Rizky's best friend. The man Rizky trusted to look after her.
'The base of the iceberg is heartless. Insensitive. Maybe he thinks I'm crying so much that I don't want to get close to him. It's good that he doesn't have a girlfriend.. A cold, insensitive iceberg.'. Monologue in the heart.
...----------------...
"According to mother, Rizky is such a will because she doesn't want you to be alone lamenting her disappearance. Nor does he want Harris to live a day anymore." concluded Bu Farida, said to Keara earlier, shortly before taking an online taxi leaving the hospital and Keara sculpting himself.
