I'm taking you off
Ill

One month since Nara left, Licia is very lonely. He spends more time at home because there are no friends for various stories. Today Licia asked her papa to accompany the check up to the hospital. While waiting for the patient queue, Licia's eyes accidentally saw one of the patients who was being pushed using a wheelchair, the patient's face and the person who was walking with her was very familiar to Licia.

“Elang” Whisper Licia.

Licia wanted to chase but before long her papa name was called, she stopped chasing the Eagle and accompanied her father into the doctor's room.

During her time in the doctor's room, Licia seemed restless, her mind focused on the Eagle and the condition she was seeing at this time. After the examination was completed, and the drug taking at the pharmacy, Licia also drove her papa home.

Licia thinks about going back to the hospital, because she believes something is going on and the Eagle is hiding from her best friend. Licia rushed back to the hospital, arriving at the parking lot, Licia saw the Eagle brought into her car. Licia was sure something was wrong with the Eagle's current condition.

“Elang is very sick? So he can't walk, but instead of a month ago he's fine” thought Licia. Licia tried to follow the eagle. Licia continued to follow Eagle's car until she arrived at her house, after seeing the Eagle helped down from the car, Licia also seemed to come down and approach, Eagle and her mother were very surprised to see Licia.

“Licia” Grey Eagle

“What happened Lang, why is your condition like this” Ask Licia.

The eagle just fell silent and lowered.

“We go in first ya” take mama Eagle.

Licia nodded and they walked into the Eagle's house.

“Sit first yes, aunt make drink” said mama Eagle

“Iya, thanks aunt” replied Licia.

After the Eagle's mama, Licia can't wait to demand the Eagle's story.

“What happened Lang, why are you like this”

The condition of the Eagle is far from good, his weight decreased drastically even his face is getting thinner even though he still looks handsome. His breath was heavy and his voice hoarse.

Mama Eagle came in carrying a tray of drinks and and some snacks.

“Tante, Elang” Licia would like to ask.

"GREEN...."

“Let the Eagle that story ma” cut the Eagle

Her mother fell silent and then looked at her son.

“Yes already, then, mom stay yes. But please take care of your emotions” said his mother.

The eagle smiled and nodded. So does Licia

“Still tan” says Licia.

“Drink Ca” says Eagle

Lia also grabbed a cup filled with warm tea. After putting down her cup, Licia looked at the Eagle full of Tanya marks. But seeing the condition of the Eagle he did not want to force the man to talk.

The eagle breathed heavily.

“I don't know where to start... I'm sick Ca, and maybe my age will not be long anymore” explained Eagle. Licia was surprised to hear the Eagle's reply.

“Sick??? what pain?"

“Brain tumor”

Nara jumped, her eyes round.

"I don't know for sure" replied the heavy Eagle.

Eagle said that about two months ago he often felt pain in his head, his body sometimes suddenly lost balance. One day he collapsed at home and mom took him to the hospital, after going through a series of examinations, Eagle was diagnosed with a brain tumor even stage 4. Now he is undergoing therapy to inhibit the development of tumor cells. But all that is done is probably just to prolong life. The voice of the Eagle grew heavier and held tightness in his chest.

“Nara knows” Ask Licia

Eagle shakes

"Nara only knew that I had frequent headaches, she asked me to see a doctor a few times, but I didn't want to, because I thought it was just a regular headache"

“Is this the real reason you left Nara”

The eagle nodded and his gaze blankly looked in all directions to throw away his sadness.

“I don't want Nara to also suffer from seeing my current condition.I can no longer be her protector, I can't be a place for her to lean on, I can't be, I don't want to see her grieving that seeing me like this, Nara must suffer a lot later. I deliberately took it off when my condition was like this. Maybe it was better for me to look at hating me than later she would have to grieve over my departure. I know my time won't be long, I just want to see him happy. You know, Licia, she used to blame herself a lot when her parents and her sister left. In fact he hurt himself and considered himself an unlucky carrier. I don't want that to happen again. What happens later if I really go, while she slips herself. I don't want Licia” said the Eagle in a soft, shaken voice.

Clear details melt from the corner of the Eagle's eye. So did Licia, since then she was unable to hold back her tears. As much as Eagle's love for Nara, maybe even at the end of time he still thinks about Nara's happiness, when in fact he also deserves to be happy. Maybe at this time if Nara was beside him, he would be stronger to deal with all of this, because Nara would definitely give spirit. Licia sees so much love in the Eagle for Nara.

“But Nara deserves to know, do you think Nara is not sick at the moment? Nara is really sick, even now she is in this corner of the Negri just to forget her pain” said Licia

“You mean” Ask Eagle.

Licia told that Nara had left this city for 1 month, she accepted her boss' offer to research the field in the forest area of Sumatra. Maybe not just a job, Nara accepts all that because she also wants to recover her heart fill her time with busy work so that she can forget her heartache.

“To be honest I couldn't get away from him, ever since I decided my condition was getting bad, because I was always thinking about him. I'm really fragile without him. But I also can't let him bear the sadness without me later” said Eagle.

“Let Nara know, let Nara strengthen you, you must be healed Lang, you need Nara at this time” said Licia slowly.

 “No Ca, don't tell Nara. Let him still hate me. It was better” said Eagle.

“But the woman, the woman Nara saw” Tanya Licia

“He's my friend, I purposely asked him to perform a show to make Nara disappointed. That's the only reason I can do for Nara to hate me” explained Eagle.

Seeing the condition of the Eagle which was also unstable at this time, Licia was not willing to force it, maybe this was the best that was in the Eagle's mind.

“Break Lang, you may be too tired. I'm sorry for making you sadder” said Licia.

“I beg Ca, do not tell Nara” said Eagle Lirih.

Licia nodded then she said goodbye.

After Licia's passing, the Eagle was unable to hold back any more of his tears. She loved Nara even more than herself. In fact, the Eagle had prepared a ring to propose to Nara, but before that happened Eagle had accepted the bitter fact that he had a malignant tumor that attacked his brain. He doesn't want to be selfish in bringing Nara down with him.  All the Eagle wants is Nara's happiness.

To be honest right now he really misses Nara.

I'm too fragile to see you sad

Trying to disavow the heart despite a tinge of longing continues to erode unspeakably

If we never see each other again

I will take my miss and love..

Until the end of time...
