~Basecamp

Alghifari parked his bike in front of the basecamp, he and Syeza then stepped in. Everyone was waiting for them except for the Geisha.

Zidan's request really turned her into a quiet girl and even cried a lot.

As he stepped inside, Rayhan suddenly threw away his face when his eyes met with Sheza.

"You just showed up? where have you been, huh?! why do you like to disappear without news?! do you like to make people panic?!" Fairuz embraces Alghifari.

"Ais get your hands off!! you're ruining my hair!!"

"Yeah!! you really suck brother!!" Fairuz again ruffled Alghifari's hair.

"It sucks!!" Alghifari then dodged Fairuz and sat down beside Fikral.

"So what now?! you disappeared for two weeks and suddenly appeared again and asked everyone to gather at the basecamp?! what do you want to talk about huh?!!" Fikral then embraces Alghifari's head.

"Why do you like to break my hair, huh?!!" Alghifari was visibly upset, dodging Fikral and sitting next to Sheza.

"Well my hair will be safe sitting here!"

Sheza gave a small laugh and then his hand was raised towards her.

"What do you want?!" Alghifari restrains the hand of Sheza that leads to him.

"Ehehe is nothing, just want to help tidy up your hair" Sheza smiled jailly at him.

"No! not necessary! I can clean it myself! you're just gonna make it worse!" Alghifari let go of his hand.

Sheza just laughed.

"Already! just directly! what do you want to talk about?!" Rayhan's voice sounded dislike.

Everything then went back to silence, the atmosphere in the basecamp looked silent, they were waiting for Alghifari to open his voice.

Alghifari was seen taking a deep breath.

"I'm sorry I suddenly disappeared and made you guys panic and of course this happened to Zidan as well so I disappeared to investigate Zidan"

"Whatchu mean? do you know where Zidan is?" Fikral.

Alghifari just nodded small.

"Aiss that boy!! just look if he has appeared I will break his hair that he is proud of!! where is he now Al?" Connect Fairuz.

"Zidan is now in the hospital"

"Hospital?" Fikral looked confused.

"hospital? what's he doing in the hospital for?" Viera is making a sound.

"sick! Zidan's sick! all this time Zidan hid his illness from us! Zidan is suffering from brain cancer and even his condition is now very weak, his whole body is filled with tools! I don't know if there's any chance Zidan will survive, his illness is late stage" Alghifari's voice rang out.

"Ahaha what are you talking about Al? are you kidding me?" Fikral laughed a little.

"I'm not kidding Fik! why would I joke about something so fatal? it's about Zidan's condition!"

"Ahaha Al you know? Zidan from childhood was always strong, he never went to the hospital! he never hurt Al so, it's impossible" Fikral tried to dodge but clearly saw the worry on his face.

"It's not impossible if it's destiny! sometimes the most powerful, the one who rarely looks sick is even more hurt, the sicker Fik! Zidan is not okay! he's sick of Fik! u know? the pain made him lose the hair he was proud of, the pain made his ideal body look thin! the pain tormented him! " Alghifari tried to hold back her tears.

"Don't joke Al!!"

"Do I look like I'm joking?"

Fikral was seen laughing bitterly, he then approached Alghifari and pulled Alghifari's collar.

"Don't invent such a stupid thing! we all know, don't we? Zidan had been looking fine all along!!" Ficral eyes begin to look teary.

"Yes I know it but, behind it all Zidan hides his pain! Zidan pretends to be fine in front of us because he doesn't want us to feel sad about his true condition!"

"No Al!! This is impossible!! There's no way this is happening to Zidan!! no Al!! Zidan is fine!! he's not sick Al!! nay!! say it!! tell me you lied Al!! tell me this is not true Al!! i beg!! tell me this is not true Al!!" Fikral took off Alghifari's collar while shaking his head and chuckling however, the clear tears slowly began to fall from his eyes.

Fikral began to cry sobbing, he then fell down on the floor.

Everyone in the room was crying in silence, it was painful to see Fikral crying like that! Fikral who does not talk much, Fikral who looks cool with his indifferent attitude but, seeing him who slumped like making them unable to hold back tears.

In the silence there was only the sound of crying from Fikral that sounded bitter, making everyone cry, only tears that represented their feelings. Viera was seen wiping away her tears, Rayhan who was seen lowering his head then his hands rubbing the tears that flowed on his face, Fairuz who threw away his face and then his hands raised wiped his tears, his eyes were wiped, Alghifari who was still standing with teary eyes, and Fikral who was sitting fell on the floor with tears continuing to flow.

Ah who doesn't feel pain when they know Zidan's true condition? Those who were always with him but, did not know that it turned out that Zidan endured tremendous pain and pretended to be fine!.

"Everything is my fault! I was wrong! I've always been with him from childhood, I know him better but I don't even know he's endured the pain! I was wrong! I'm not a good friend to her, am I?! I'm so mean, aren't I?!" Fikral began to lose control and blame himself.

"What did you say Fik?! don't blame yourself like this!!" Alghifari helped Fikral stand up and helped him sit on the sofa.

"Drink!" Viera thrusting the drinking water towards the Ficral.

Fikral took a glass of water in Viera's hand and took a slow sip, Viera took the glass back from Fikral's hand and put it on the table.

"We better get to the hospital now to see Zidan's condition" Rayhan said.

"Yes Al! Where's Zidan's hospital being treated?" Fairuz.

"Citygroup Scintillating Hospital!"

"RS Gemilang CityGroup? Wait, isn't that the hospital that was built just one year ago and became a hospital terelit in Indonesia? even in the hospital it was only available VVIP room, there were only a few ordinary rooms that were subpar however, although there is an ordinary room below the standard but to enter the hospital is very difficult is not it? You need an insider to get into that hospital! Then Zidan, how did Al find him? Couldn't Zidan not have found Al and told him about his true illness? wait, do you know anything about Zidan's disease? But if you find out, you'll definitely tell me and Fikral! how did Al know about this? Is there something Al is hiding?! Who is Al?! this question has not been perfectly answered to this day!" Inner Sheza.

"Let's go to the hospital now!" Alghifari momentarily glanced at Syeza.

Looking at Alghifari who was glancing at him, Sheza threw his face in the other direction because he did not want to be caught looking at him.

"What's wrong with him? Wait, does he suspect me? Does Sheza suspect how I might know about Zidan's disease? But isn't that natural? What would be special if I discovered the one secret that Zidan had been keeping all this time? Akh Al you have to stay alert, Sheza is a pretty smart girl! Aakh I'm sorry I hid that from you" Inner Alghifari.

"Za?"

"Hey?" Sheza turned towards Al.

"You okay?"

Sheza just nodded towards him.

"I know you're a strong girl" Alghifari smiled slightly, Sheza smiled back.

"Oh yeah Za where's the Geisha?" Tanya Alghifari made Syeza immediately stop his steps.

Ah how will the Geisha react when they know Zidan's condition now? It must have been very bad!.

"What's Za?" Ask Al

"Geisha Al"

"Gisha? Why?"

Sheza then recounts the current state of the Geisha and Zidan's request which makes her a quiet girl.

Alghifari sounded out a sigh.

"So before Zidan disappeared he had asked Geisha to learn to love other men because he did not want Geisha to be hurt with his condition?" Inner Alghifari.

"Al picked up the Geisha at the Dormitory and took her to the hospital yaa"

"Then how are you?"

"I'm on Fairuz's bike"

"Eem well" Sheza and Alghifari then stepped out.

"Ruz with Sheza yaa"

"Then you?"

"Aakh I'll pick up the Geisha first"

"Well that girl! We almost forgot about it! He must be very hurt, quickly pick him up and take him to the hospital!" Fairuz.

Alghifari.

~RS Gemilang CityGroup

After reaching the third floor, they then ran down the hallways of the hospital to Zidan's room in the care, footsteps were firm in tension, souls were weakened by worry, he said, the spies that sting because of the tears that are held back. The closer to the room their chests felt increasingly tight.

Their footsteps stopped when Fikral stopped his steps in front of the door of a room, his hands even seemed to tremble while holding the doorknob of the room. Fikral took a deep breath and glanced into the room through the glass door, his tears that restrained back flowed in the Fikral eye pelukur.

"Fic?" Sheza patted his shoulder.

"Come in, I'll catch up later" Fikral smiled bitterly at me then released his hand from the doorknob.

Fikral then stood leaning against the wall.

Sheza took a breath and glanced in the room through the glass door, inside which Zidan lay quietly on the bed with medical devices attached all over his body.

Sheza wiped away her tears that suddenly flowed.

"No Scheza! No crying! You must be strong!" His inner.

"Have you come?" Zidan opened his eyes and smiled at his friends.

"Ah I thought you were sleeping" Sheza walked up to her.

"I'm waiting for you to come! Why did Al take you here so long?"

Sheza smiled and held his hand.

"Zid, we're sorry! Sorry we didn't know this"

"I'm the one who should be apologizing for hiding this! Sorry for doubting you"

"You're not wrong Zid" Sheza smiled at him.

"You must be strong Zi, you must stay strong! You can definitely! Okay?!"

Zidan momentarily glanced towards the wall clock and then smiled bitterly towards Sheza.

"I don't have much Za, any minute"

"What are you talking about? Please don't say such a thing!" syeza's tears started to flow.

"Don't cry, didn't you promise not to cry?"

Sheza closed her eyes for a moment trying to hold back her tears that kept flowing.

"Come here! Put your face in my hands!" Pinta Zidan's.

Sheza scrunched her eyebrows in confusion but followed her orders, bringing her face closer to the hand she held and slowly removing her tears.

"I'm sorry my hands are too weak to lift! Look, Za, I don't like watching you cry"

"You're strong Zid! You strong! Believe me, your hands will wipe away my tears! I. I want your hands to be there to help me wipe my tears"

"No Za! From now until forever you must learn to remove it yourself"

The girl shook her head with tears not wanting to stop flowing.

"Za remember well, this is my last request! One day whatever happens, never hate the people who have been in your life!"

Sheza wrinkled his eyebrows feeling confused.

"You're gonna promise me, aren't you?"

Although confused by Zidan's request, Sheza just nodded her head, confirming his request.

"You promised me Za, don't deny it"

Syeza nodded back.

Zidan smiled slightly then glanced towards Fairuz and Rayhan.

"Za help me tell your two best friends, will they keep turning my back like this? Don't they want to see my handsome face one last time?" Said Zidan with a smile.

Sheza then turned his head towards Fairuz and Rayhan who were standing on his back.

"You didn't hear what Zidan said?"

Fairuz and Rayhan were seen raising their hands and rubbing their faces and turning around.

"Don't hold it, if you want to cry then cry! That way you'll feel better" Zidan said, smiling at them.

"They won't cry in front of you because if they look weak in front of you then how can they calm you down?" Viera.

"Akh y'all know? I'm so lucky to have you! Thank you for being my best friend and I'm sorry I haven't been a good friend!"

"Listen to Zid, you have to hold on!" Rayhan's voice sounded raucous.

"Yes Rayhan is right! Why do you have to hide this and why does this have to happen? I never wanted any of us to have to be like this so Zid, you have to stick around!" Fairuz chimed in with a vibrating sound.

Rayhan was seen nodding his head in response to Fairuz's words.

"Aakhh, is your hair even thinning?" Rayhan touched Zidan's head.

Zidan just smiled.

"It's only been two weeks that I've been treated but my hair is falling out so fast, akh do I not fit without hair? Al says that I am still handsome even without hair! Huh did Al lie to me just to comfort me?"

"Al's right Zid, even if your hair isn't there, you still look handsome!" Fairuz.

"really? Aakh I like it then! I can leave quietly without thinking about my head without hair!"

Zidan laughed a little.

"Zid what are you saying? You have to hold on!" Viera's voice was heard again.

Sheza, Fairuz, and Rayhan nodded at the same time as Viera said.

"I understand your feelings! I also want to keep going but, I also want this pain to disappear for good! If you force me to continue to endure then you also make me tormented with this pain"

"You're definitely healed! Trust Zid!"

"No Za! There is no healing for me like this! My whole hair has disappeared! My body also survives because of the tools that stick all over my body! Soon this tool won't work for me anymore so let me go!"

"No Zidan! Please don't say such a thing!"

Zidan smiled a little and his weak hands tried to tighten the grip of Sheza's hand as if to strengthen it and successfully make the girl's tears more swift.

"Za where's Fikral?"

"The corporal is outside"

"He doesn't want to see me? Doesn't he want to see me one last time?"

"Ficral was devastated, he couldn't see you in this condition! He even blames himself, thinks he's not your best friend" Rayhan chimed in.

"Akh can you call him for me Ray? Tell her that I don't blame her so stop blaming yourself"

"Let me call him" Viera chimed in.

Zidan smiled and nodded.

Viera then stepped out.

"Oh yes Za where are Al and Geisha?"

"Al's picking up a Geisha at the Dorm"

"Aahh that girl, I must have hurt her a lot" Zidan sighed softly.

10 Minutes passed

"Why so long? Does Fikral really not want to see me?"

"I'll catch up to help persuade him" Fairuz then stepped out.

"Akh Al and Geisha haven't come yet?" Zidan again watched every beat of the clock that kept turning and looked riled up, the clock's beat sounded loud in the ears, the clock's beat carrying a heartache.

15 Minutes passed

"Akh it's time! I want to sleep!"

"No Zidan! Please don't close your eyes! I beg Zid! Nay! Not Zidan! Don't do!!" Sheza began to sob and clasped his hands tighter.

Ah the man's hand started to weaken and feel cold.

"Zidan!! No Zidan! I beg you!! Hold on!! Zidan!! Nay!! Not Zidan!!" Syeza started to panic.

"You... You promised to always take care of me, right? I.. I want you to always keep your word! I beg Zid!! You're listening to me, aren't you?! Zidan!!" The man's hand began to slip from his grasp, his tears even more rushing.

"Is this the end of everything? The end of Zidan's life? Why do I have to watch him close his eyes like this?

No!! I won't let Zidan close his eyes!!" His inner.

Sheza stood up with tears flowing.

"I am against You, Lord!! I'm against you for taking it!!" Sheza was hysterical.

"I beg you to give Zidan one more chance, I beg You Lord" Sheza clenched his hands and rubbed and sobbed and fell on the floor.

"Calm down! Za relax!!" Rayhan helped her up and hugged her.

"Ray...., Zidan Ray!! Please do something!! Don't let Zidan go Ray!! Please do something Ray!!" The girl is getting sobbing.

Rayhan tightened his embrace, gently stroking his hair, trying to calm him down.

"Calm down, we don't have a choice! This is destiny"

"No Ray!! I don't want this to happen! i beg!! I beg Ray!!" He was getting hysterical in Rayhan's arms.

Outside the room there was a sound of crying,

Fikral even punched the wall with a sobbing and yelled to blame himself. Fikral's cry broke even more when he heard the sound of Sheza's cry from inside the room sounding bitter.

Lose it! He hates that word!.
