LIGHT IN YOUR EYES (Light In Your Eyes)
Terror (Revision)


Rico took a breath and prepared himself before the event began. Actually Rico was not nervous at all, he just prepared himself to face the questions he would get from the reporters later. Rico stared at his reflection in the mirror.


"Come Rico! Lo can! For the sake of Rian's good name! " His words encourage themselves.


What Rico did was not out of Alex's attention. Alex smiled even though his eyes were clearly radiating sadness. Alex knows very well how close Rico and Rian have been and Alex knows how devastated Rico feels to see the current state of Rian. The guilt in Alex's heart grew.


'This time I was wrong, I shouldn't have covered up Rian from Rico. Rico should have known the truth from the beginning. I need to clear everything. '


Alex walked over to Rico and patted his best friend's shoulder gently. Sontak Rico looked.


"Udah time, come on! " Take Alex who was nodding by Rico.


Alex walks first and Rico follows him. The reporter's camera flash began to dazzle the eyes as the two entered the event room. They sat down at the designated spot and the event began immediately.


Questions began to rain down on Rico and Rico tried to answer them well. Rico explained each answer in detail after thinking through each word carefully. Sometimes Alex helps him find the right words.


After almost an hour had passed finally the event was over as well. Rico is seen sitting on the sofa of the dressing room to channel his fatigue. His head was raised while his eyes were closed.


'Gue hope what I'm doing now can help you, Rian. I hope you realize quickly and this time I will always be there for you. '


Suddenly Alex comes to him without Rico noticing. Rico opened his eyes when he felt a cold object stick to his forehead. Alex smiled as Rico looked at him with a surprised face.


"Es cream? " Tanya Rico did not believe it.


Rico then chuckled.


"How to reconsider my mood is like a father to his son. Thanks. " Rico said while receiving ice cream from Alex.


Alex patted Rico's shoulder slowly.


"When I think we need to strengthen each other. "


"Lo is always the wisest. No wonder if it is seen from the age of lo who is already sepuh. " Canda Rico on the sidelines eating his ice cream.


"Maybe keep my attitude. " Alex's reply unexpectedly made Rico dumbstruck for a moment.


"Sandika, Gusti. "


After that they laughed together.

Octa walked to the hospital canteen. Last night he monitored Rian's situation and there was still no development. Octa was worried that Rian's situation would deteriorate again like a few days ago. Octa's body looked weak and his face was very clearly implying fatigue.


Octa sat down on one of the canteen benches and decided to order a cup of coffee. And no need to wait long, the coffee order came. He was just about to drink his coffee when someone's hand shifted the cup of coffee from before him. Then replaced with a glass of water and a bowl of chicken porridge.


"You need to stay healthy and strong to keep looking after Rian. "


Octa smiled as he found Morin beside him. Morin smiled as he watched Octa begin to eat chicken porridge in front of him.


"You don't eat? " Task Octa to Morin who only paid attention to her.


"It's noon, obviously I've eaten. You're the one who misfired his meal. "


Octa nodded at Morin's reply.


"Oh yeah, today the same Alex Rico back at work again, yeah? " Task Octa with still enjoying chicken porridge.


"Yes, that's it. Early in the morning Alex had picked up Rico, it was difficult to get out of the building, he said, many journalists. "


Octa again just nodded while enjoying his chicken porridge. Suddenly the phone rang indicating the incoming message. Octa guessed who sent him the message because he was sure it wasn't Alex or Rico. Both of his friends must have called right away. Octa's eyes widened and made Morin curious. Octa's hands clenched.


"Who? " Tanya Morin was curious.


Instead of answering Morin's questions, Octa gave him orders.


"Go! Now! "


"Why? What was? "


"Go! "


With mixed feelings Morin left the canteen. While Octa kicked the table and made all the pairs of eyes that were there look strangely at him.


"Damn it! "


Meanwhile, in his nursery Chelsea was lying while staring blankly at the hospital ceiling. Sunlight through the glass window of the room, but the heat is not felt because it is dispelled by the cool air of AC.


"Dad! " Call Chelsea to Big Master Xil who is sitting on the sofa while reading the writing on the phone screen.


"Yes, why? " Answer Great Lord Xil while turning his eyes away.


"Chelsea want to go for a walk. "


His father seemed to breathe.


"To the hospital park, huh? Don't go far. "


Chelsea agreed. Better than lying down.


"Okay, I'll take the wheelchair first. Let all your father be Temenin. "


His father had not yet moved, suddenly a voice stopped him.


"Let me do Chelsea, Om. "


The two pairs of eyes that were in the room instantly turned their attention to the source of the sound.


"B-bang Saka?! "


Hearing Chelsea's voice that wavered when calling him success made the owner of the name chuckle. Saka walked up to Chelsea without caring the dislike expression of Big Master Xil. Chelsea looked pecking until suddenly asked him to stop.


"Stop! Pleases. "


Saka seemed to frown at his forehead at a loss to see Chelsea's reaction. Not much different from the expression shown by Big Master Xil, because usually Chelsea is very fond of his cousin's brother. It was clear that the look of fear on Chelsea's face made the father immediately approached his daughter and took her into a trap.


Chelsea did not answer his father's question at all. Saka who was equally worried immediately walked closer to Chelsea and made Chelsea more frightened.


"You why? Are you afraid of brother? "


Again, Chelsea just kept quiet while managing her breath as the flash of the nightmare swirled in her mind. Chelsea tried to calm himself down by assuring him that it was all just a nightmare.


'Bang Saka can't be that bad. Relax Chelsea, Bang Saka is good. '


After feeling calmer, Chelsea ventured to let Saka approach him.


"Sorry Chelsea, Bang. Chelsea had a nightmare, so she was scared. "


Saka smiled.


"Well, what are we going to the park now? So you can refresh too. " Ajak Saka who was later replied by a nod by Chelsea.


In a wheelchair, Chelsea went to the hospital park with Saka. The awkward atmosphere between the two increasingly disappeared after the small chats they were having.


'What am I really thinking? Bang Saka was clearly a good person, there was no way he would do such a cruel thing. I don't understand, I could have the same prejudice as the person who has always been there for me all this time. '


...***...


The time shows at 18:07 when Rico and Alex come to the nursery that Rian occupied. Octa who was always there welcomed their arrival.


"Where? Smoothly? "


Alex nodded.


"Gue hoped all this would keep Rian's good name. So, he will not accept any reproach after realizing it later. " Say Rico while looking at Rian who was still unconscious.


Octa and Alex can feel the magnitude of the sadness Rico is feeling right now. After chatting with each other about some things, Rico said goodbye. He felt he had to see Chelsea too, but of course he didn't tell Octa and Alex.


"Gue go home first, tonight let me take care of Rian. I'll be back after I get some stuff. "


Before Rico actually leaves, Alex suddenly stops him and makes Octa stare strangely. Alex asks Rico to follow him to the hospital park and Rico agrees. When they got there, they immediately sat on a park bench. Rico looked at Alex looking up at the star-studded sky. Alex looked to breathe.


"Gue will be clear what you should know from the beginning. " Alex's words made Rico take a serious look.


Every word that came out of Alex's mouth, Rico listened carefully. Several times Alex's hands clenched when he heard that explanation. It didn't take long to complete the explanation, because indeed Alex and Octa had nothing to hide other than that.


"So, you both deliberately cover this big thing from me? Something as important as this? You both know, I can't possibly easily forgive you both. It's not a trivial thing. "


Alex smiled smirkingly.


"Yes, I know enough about that. You have the right to be angry. "


Octa had just returned from the toilet when his phone rang. Octa quickly opened the incoming message.


Unknown Number:


I'm serious about my threats, you or me who unloads everything?


Octa clucked and then ignored the message. And again, the phone rang, upset Octa opened the message.


Unknown Number:


Or do you want to see your sister wretched more than this?


I've been kind not to directly unload all the dirty cover lo, you really seriously want me to intervene?


Do you want your brother to suffer more?


A COWARD!!!


Messages from the unknown number kept haunting him. Sometimes his heart justifies every message. But, he really did not have the courage to face his sister's hatred later.


'What should I do now? '


...***...


Rico walks gontai in the hospital Corridor. Facing the fact that his best friend had actually hidden the important things from him made him again feel betrayed. Rico tried to smile before entering Chelsea's ward.


"Busy people come at last. " Sindir Chelsea as Rico walks into the room.


Rico just chuckles and grins when he finds Saka sitting with her father on the couch.


"Lo gapain? " Ketus Rico who then get a pillow throw from Chelsea.


"Look at me, his brother has a very busy sister. Brother Rico should say thank you to Bang Saka who willing to do boredom Chelsea. Brother is like father. "


Rico and the father snorted bitterly while Saka laughed at the feeling of winning.


"Yes yes, later brother Rico buy him a car as a thank you. "


"Well! I accept it with pleasure. Btw, there's a new sports car. Yes, thank you before. " Corn Saka doesn't know herself.


"Basic don't know yourself! "


"Sister Rico! Don't do! " Chelsea's rampage makes Rico want to curse.


Finally Rico chose to be patient and approached Chelsea.


"Where are you now? Okay better? " Task Rico in a soft voice.


Chelsea smiled in return.


"But I never saw Ian coming. Ian didn't know I was sick, did he? He said the news I was sick had spread, Ian's brother had no time to look at me? "


Rico looked at his sister concerned.


'What should I answer? Should I lie again? '
