Your love gave me life
Annabelle's Anxiety

Already 2 days Alden was aware of his coma but Annabelle actually did not appear in Alden's room.

Several times Papa Rano and Mama Mira even Mommy and Daddy persuaded Annabelle, but the girl did not want to see Alden. Not out of anger, but shame at being rude to Alden.

This afternoon Annabelle rushed to the campus gate to finish her last lecture at 10 a.m. Raka texted him, telling him that he was waiting for Annabelle in front of the campus gate.

“Don't tell me Daddy told you to come and drag me to Alden?” asked Annabelle with a probing look.

“Ge-er,” Raka thaws. “I want to invite you to cheat. Don't ask much questions, get in the car, I'll tell you in the car.”

“But really not to the Hospital right ?” annabelle's gaze was still doubtful as Raka gestured Annabelle to get into the car.

Raka opened the front door on the passenger side.

“Side knows you picked me up ?” Annabelle asked the question again while putting on her seatbelt.

“Why ? Afraid of snatching your best friend's girlfriend ? Not suitable to be an actor because most ask,” Raka quipped with a mocking smile.

“Where are actors from?”Annabelle. “Kayak no other guy aja.”

“Bucin Alden,” ledek Raka while laughing.

Raka leaves the campus parking lot with Annabelle.

“Where are we going Raka ?” asked Annabelle with an annoyed face.

“Police asks you to come as a witness. Tell me as it is, you will be accompanied by a lawyer who has been prepared Om Wira.”

“Is Sarah in the same place ?”

“You mean you will be reunited with Sarah ?”

“Not, I mean, was Sarah detained at the same police station ?”

“Sarah has been transferred to female prisoners in the Tangerang area. Why ? You want to beat him up to feel what Alden feels ?”

“Ngapain waste of energy,” Annabelle throbbing makes Raka laugh.

“Annabelle,” Raka's voice turned serious. “Why not come to visit Alden ?”

“I'm not good because I was angry with Alden and I felt an accident yesterday.”.

“Alden cannot use his left foot at this time,” Raka said.

“You mean paralyzed ?” Annabelle was wide-eyed as Raka nodded.

“Truly ? Alden's leg was paralyzed by the accident?” Raka nodded again making Annabelle close her mouth and her eyes glazed over.

“If you don't want to visit, Alden will think you left him and don't want to be with Alden anymore because now he's a disabled man.”

Annabelle was silent, her hands propped up on the side window, pinched her lips and held back tears.

“Exit from the police station please take me to the hospital,” pinta Annabelle without turning towards Raka who is smiling thinly.

*****

After lunch and spending nearly 2 hours at the police station, Raka delivers Annabelle to the hospital.

Annabelle began to be unsettled since knowing the condition of Alden's left leg which was paralyzed. He felt even more guilty for not coming to visit Alden since he woke up from a coma.

“I can not take you because I have promised to pick up Sisi,” said Raka when his car had stopped in the hospital lobby.

“From pick up, you guys are here ?”

“Ngak,” Raka shook her head. “Sisi wants to go somewhere else so I picked up.”

Annabelle looked at her phone screen looking at the time which showed it was almost 4pm.

“Annabelle !” call Raka before the girl moves away. “Alden is in the back garden of the building because he is bored alone. He just answered my message.”

“Nothing comes with ?” Annabelle frowned.

“Not usually Mommy has the heart to let the sick alone,” muttered Annabelle.

“Tante and Om are looking for a good doctor to help Alden recover. Hopefully his left leg can recover,” said Raka with a serious face and a little sad.

“What's that bad until Alden can't heal ?” annabelle's face was worried.

“Just pray for the best. We all wish you could stay close to Alden and give him some encouragement. Or you object because it might be Alden.”.

“No Raka, I don't mind at all. I accept Alden as he is, not because Alden is rich or has a perfect physique,” cut Annabelle with eyes that look glazed.

“Then please stay by his side as long as Om and Aunt seek the best treatment for Alden,” pinta Raka with pleading face.

Annabelle nodded with a smile. Raka nodded and waved her hand.

“Thank you for driving me here,” Annabelle said with a smile and replied to Raka's hand. The man nodded again and slowly took his car away from Annabelle.

Raka smiled as she took her car out of the hospital. Hopefully, the plan he prepared with both Alden and Annabelle's parents can run smoothly.

The middleman, Annabelle held her chest while sighing a few times. His heart thumped twice as fast as usual as his feet made their way to the backyard where he had a favorite conversation with Yudha when she was Sarah Belle.

Annabelle was glued to her place, staring from a distance at the handsome figure sitting alone on her wheelchair while playing her phone.

Under no circumstances could Annabelle completely erase Alden's shadow in her life.

“Alden,” wafts Annabelle while standing next to the man.

“Belle ?” Alden immediately developed his smile. “Who are you with here ?”

Raka asem nih, said there is important business and maksa meet here, it turns out even Belle who came, Alden grumbled in his heart.

“Alden, sorry,” wiry Annabelle with eyes starting to glaze over making Alden frown.

Alden's phone trembled, distracting him for a moment. Raka's name is seen on the mobile screen as the sender of a newly entered message.

RAKA: Don't be saggy, Bro. I've made Anabelle come into your arms, do not let go of 💪💪💪

Alden smiled faintly reading the message from his best friend. Indeed the last 2 days Alden had asked many people why Annabelle was not seen the trunk of his nose.

“Alden,” Annabelle called the man again because she thought Alden was reluctant to talk to her.

“Sorry,” Overt Annabelle.

“For what ?” Alden frowned, trying not to laugh. Raka is the smartest to make drama.

“Raka says, feet Alden..”.

“Cannot be moved,” says Alden fast. “Yang left.”

“Sorry,” Overt Annabelle. “If you hadn't pushed me back then, it should have been me sitting there.”

“Belle, don't cry,” Alden clasped Annabelle's fingers but immediately let go again, fearing Annabelle was angry.

“Belle, don't cry, later people think I'm mad at you again.”

Alden again held back a laugh as he watched Annabelle wipe away her tears while glancing right and left, confirming Alden's remark.

Annabelle's eyes are still a bit wet to blink making Alden anxious and want to hug him but unfortunately his left leg is not allowed to be used because there is a bone cracked due to impact with the car.

But Alden is not as crippled as Raka told Annabelle.

Basic lebay nih Raka, it does not feel the heart to make Belle cry like this, Inner Alden smiled happily.
