Perfect Love
departure

I stepped my feet wide through the hospital hallway which showed some people sitting sadly on the front bench of the hospital room. I continued to step through the crowd crying, mourning the relatives who died tonight. At the end of the hall, I found Mayra sitting on the floor looking down deep. I shook his shoulders slowly, he turned with tear-strewn eyes. He stood hugging me tight and sobbed harder. I rubbed her back to calm down, honestly I was also very shocked to get word of Mayra hitting someone. I didn't expect Mayra to take my car anywhere until something like this happened. I thought he was going straight home so I let him take my car this afternoon. However, this incident was not all Mayra's fault, I also participated guilty. I didn't dare tell my papa, who was lucky he was in Moscow or anyone in my house who could have leaked to him. I wiped Mayra's tears, took her to sit in the front seat of the room and gave her a bottle of water that I had bought on the way here.

" Where is the man Mayra, what's bad ?" I asked carefully, actually I did not want to ask but inevitably I also have to know the situation, actually,

" The doctor is still examining him Vin, "His reply was softly barely audible.

After that, the door of the room opened. I immediately approached the doctor and asked the situation of the person with concern,

" Dok, how's it going ?" My voice is a little choked up, though,

" The patient is in good condition, just ordinary wounds, after rest and treatment, tomorrow morning can go home, "I breathed a sigh of relief to hear the doctor's explanation, he said, the heavy weight I just felt just walked out.

As soon as the doctor left, I took Mayra into the ward. At first Mayra refused, but I tried to calm her down and managed to persuade her to come inside. In that not-so-widespread room, a man lay weakly with an infusion stuck to his wrist, bandages wrapped around his head, arms and legs. The smell of the medicine instantly peeked into the nose as I got closer to him. The man's eyes were closed with messy hair and some tears on his clothes. Mayra grew sobbing to see the man lying weakly before me who was none other than Nathan. I looked at Mayra concerned and confused, wondering how Mayra could hit Nathan like this.

Heard the Mayra

filling the room, Nathan woke up, opened his eyes slowly until his eyes focused on seeing Mayra and me next to his bed.

" Uch..it hurts so much, can your cousin shut up, I get dizzy hearing him cry !" Nathan complained while rubbing his head,

" How are you doing Nathan ?" I said approaching the bed after sitting Mayra on the sofa next to the bed,

" You have eyes, see how I'm doing after your crybaby cousin hit my bike !" His answer was so taut that it made me want to put an infusion pole on his face,

" I as Mayra's cousin apologize as big as Nathan, Mayra may have been lost at the time !" I said control myself to stay patient with the mouth of the chili,

" I told you, apologizing won't change what you've done wrong, even if you apologize a thousand times to worship me once won't make my condition any better, so just keep your pardon that I don't need, okay ?" I can't stop thinking with his rigid mindset, I chose silence not to continue any comments.

In these conditions it is not the time for me to argue with this chili-mouthed cupu. I approached Mayra on the sofa, she was still shocked by what happened to her, especially when she hurt Nathan, the man she just liked. I took the initiative to tell him to go home so he could calm down at home. The stubborn Mayra did not want to go home even though I had persuaded her by all means. Knowing that, Nathan spoke up, too,

" It's better that you just go home as Melvin said, I'm fine, stop crying and go home instead of making me dizzy !" Nathan said coldly as he slashed his eyes towards Mayra, making Mayra speechless,

" You heard, you better go home, calm down let me take care of Nathan here, tomorrow you can come again if you've calmed down !" Finally Mayra would listen to me, by ordering a taxi online she came home in the middle of a lonely night.

After taking Mayra to get into a taxi and make sure she is in good condition, I immediately re-enter Nathan's room. I feel responsible for taking care of him tonight because he doesn't want to until his family finds out, it's going to worry his family. In the middle of a quiet night like this, the atmosphere of the hospital became quite gripping. Only the sound of my footsteps could be heard in the hallway \-the hallway I passed. All patients must have fallen asleep including the family who took care of. At the intersection of the hallway I did not expect to cross paths with the nurse I met at that time in the park. The nurse smiled as she greeted me with a smile as well, apparently she still remembers me. Suddenly \- arrived he stopped his steps and turned towards me,

" I'm very concerned about his condition getting worse, hopefully there's a miracle for him, "He said he made me think of Nathan, it seems he knows I'm here to look after Nathan,

" What, but the doctor said he's okay - what ?" I was anxious to hear that from the nurse who now looked at me with pity,

" No, it's not good right now, I know it's hard for you but all we can do is pray, " Hearing the nurse's words I immediately ran towards Nathan's room without saying goodbye to the nurse.

I can't imagine if anything bad happened to Nathan. If that happens, Mayra will also get the impact. With a feeling of disdain I continued to run across the hallway - the hallway did not care for the patients who might be disturbed to hear my footsteps. When I arrived in front of the room, I immediately barged in without permission to scatter into Nathan's bed that I met was empty. I tried to check it out in the bathroom but nil, Nathan disappeared. I was looking for information on where Nathan was transferred but the nurses said Nathan wasn't transferred anywhere. It's driving me crazy, and if it doesn't move where Nathan is going ? This whole dark thing feels dark. I've been moving back to Nathan's room before. As I was about to open the door of the room not far from there I heard a little commotion that I knew was Nathan's voice. I immediately went to the source of the sound, where I found Nathan fighting with Rafael and pushing Rafael.

" Nathan, why did you push Rafael?, "I ran to help Rafael stand up,

" Be quiet, you don't have to interfere in my business with ****** this is !" Nathan raised his heavy voice that sounded increasingly jarring, but,

" I've been looking for you since you were a fool, don't you know how confused I am when I see your bed is empty, but you're here fighting, your brain is put where !" I pushed Nathan back slowly and made him take a few steps back,

" Well I'll be back in the room, you'll be careful******* this is !" Nathan passed by leaving me and Rafael.

I looked at Rafael asking for an explanation of what really happened but Rafael shook his head,

" It's my business with him, I don't want you to get involved, we better just go home !" Rafael pulled my hand but I knocked it off until it slipped,

" No Rafael, I have to take care of Nathan, you'd better get home !" Rafael nodded obeying my words not to refute a word, apparently he understood what situation I was in, he said,

He stepped away from me who was still silent not flinching from my place. I'm getting confused by all this, the nurse said Nathan's condition is worsening but in fact Nathan is fine - what even he can still walk and fight. Now the confusion is coupled with the unexpected presence of Rafael here, what did Mayra tell him all this ? I don't know, I'll ask him when he's better. At this time I choose not to be drawn into thinking about complicated things that will actually make my head more dizzy.

I entered Nathan's room, lying awake. Seeing me coming, he immediately sat down to call me to come closer.

" Vin, come here's something I want to say !" He waved a hand at me when I just closed the door,

" What the hell is it, ah I'm lazy to talk to you, you better just rest let tomorrow quickly go home, I don't want to linger to keep you like this, " I ignored his call preferring to lay my tired body on the couch.

" I know it's wrong to make you worried by suddenly disappearing just like that, I don't mean to make you worry, haha I also didn't expect to make you react like that, " His words chuckled blankly at me who I only returned to glance at, he said,

" I just wanted to say thank you for worrying about me and accompanying me like this, you shouldn't have to take care of me until like this, nothing will happen to me" she added, then he laid himself back, and,

" I'm doing all this because I feel responsible for what Mayra has done, all I want right now is to see you get well soon and forgive my cousin's mistakes, " My voice then began to open,

" Oh..so it's all for your cousin's sake yeah, well if you ask me to forgive him I'll forgive him, I promise tomorrow I'll be healed, so that you no longer need to be difficult - hard to keep me like this, "After finishing his words, Nathan closed his eyes immediately went to dreamland.

The clock on the wall already showed at half-two in the morning. I was still awake, not that I did not want to sleep but these eyes were reluctant to be closed. I tried to close my eyes a few times and then opened and did not want to close again. I looked at the white sky, no sound, only the drip of Nathan's infusion and the clock on the wall filled the room. I looked at Nathan's bracelet on my left hand. For a moment I remembered the chronology of the accident that befell Nathan from Mayra's story before he came home. The story begins when Mayra left a Scandinavian restaurant this afternoon in my car. Mayra was uncomfortable with her presence in the middle of my date and Rafael. He drove the car with a speed above average \- flat as his favorite when still in the USA. When he stopped at a crossroads that was a red light, he saw Nathan speeding in front of him wearing a jacket ojol was driving a middle-aged woman. Mayra decides to follow Nathan. He was heartless \ followed him from behind all day, lucky Nathan didn't know Mayra was following him. Mayra is impressed with Nathan's independence, she is not shy about being an online motorcycle taxi driver to help her parents. In work, there is no expression of sadness or regret in the slightest on his face, he always serves his customers very well. While passing through this hospital, Mayra saw Rafael with his big motorbike entering the hospital yard, in front of his motorbike there was a white flower that poked from his wrapper. Because he was too focused on seeing Rafael, without realizing it Nathan who was in front of him stopped to drop off passengers. At that moment Mayra was surprised to see Nathan stopped arriving \- arrived, instead of stopping the speed of his vehicle he even stepped on the gas pedal and immediately hit Nathan's motorbike from behind. Because of that, Nathan bounced off his bike falling rolling on the edge of a rocky road. Immediately Mayra's car was surrounded by many people who began to knock on her car glass angrily to hold her accountable. The frightened Mayra did not dare to get out of the car and called me first. Again \- again this story has to do with Rafael. What Rafael has been hiding all along. Mayra said Rafael was carrying a package of white flowers, I suspect that what Mayra meant was a white Lily. The hospital, Rafael, the white Lily, the nurse, the \-things kept spinning in my head, making my ship feel dizzy. I was shocked to hear Nathan yelling, as I approached, he was delirious. She screams \- yells apologetically while crying hysterically calling \-calling her mother. I shook his body hard so that he would wake up immediately.

" Nathan.wake up, Nathan wake up, wake up Nathan !" I shook his body even harder as he did not wake up,

" Mama....!!!!" He woke up, his eyes wide open with tears flowing.

I immediately picked up some water on the nightstand next to the bed. I help her drink it slowly until she calms down. After that, I grabbed Nathan's hand, rubbed his back to calm down,

" Be calm Nathan, you're just a nightmare, "I said as gently as possible,

Nathan looked at me with a glare, unexpectedly he pulled my hand and dropped me in his arms. He drowned his head in my arms and began to sob again. I was a little astonished to see this very cold and gluttonous person now look so fragile, I never expected him to possibly harbor such deep sadness. It might have been true what Rafael said the other day, the cause of his attitude now being related to his bitter past somehow and as sad as what. For a moment I let him hold me, like this I wish I could calm him down.

" Don't leave me, please !" His murmured faintly with a hoarse voice,

" No, I won't leave you, now calm down !" I said take her hug off me.

I smiled looking at him. Right now I really feel sorry for this cold guy. Seeing him so very sorry, the impression of annoying and thin as if vanished from him revealed the original image in Nathan who was sad and lonely. I don't want to ask what's bothering her sleep, it's unethical for me to dig too deep. Let it be the secret, please,

" If you need to say something, I'll always be ready to listen, "I said then which she nodded.

Early in the morning when the sun was still ashamed to show its face, it only scratched a reddish hue at the eastern end of the sky. I took care of Nathan's stuff just a few after the infusion was released. Nathan refused when I took him into my car. He wanted to go home on his broken bike. I forced him to get in my car and would call the repair shop to get his bike. After a few minutes, he agreed to come with me. Throughout the journey we were just quietly occupied with our respective thoughts. He opened his mouth to lead the way to his house. My car stopped in front of a simple house with a fairly wide courtyard, a large rambutan tree standing gallantly in front of it. In addition to the rambutan tree, there are several vegetable plants and colorful flowers fill the spacious yard making it look beautiful. Before going down once again Nathan thanked me for what I returned a smile to. When Nathan walked into his house, I found a cell phone in the chair Nathan was sitting in. I got out of my car and knocked on the door. Before long a middle-aged woman opened the door,

" Yes, find out who mbk morning - morning like this ?" He said friendly,

" I'm looking for Nathan Bu, my friend, "Reply I smile kindly.

The woman let me into the simple house and immediately called Nathan. Nathan with a questioning face - asked a slightly surprised to see me ,

" What else are you here for ?" It's cold, though,

" It's your phone left in my car, next time don't get lost !" I gave up my phone and left immediately, but my steps were stopped by the middle-aged woman who prevented my departure.

" Wait, I have something to ask you !" I stopped going, sat back in the chair,

" Yes mom, what do you want to ask ?" My leg is friendly, though,

" What really happened, why did Nathan not come home last night and go home with battered conditions like this, and again where the bike, why did he come home with his mom?" Nathan's mother's fawning confused me in response, while Nathan looked at me sharply warning.
