I'm taking you off
Disillusioned

After several days of planning to visit the Eagle, only today did Licia get to see the man.

The man's body grew thinner, his still handsome face covered in thin hairs that filled his chin and over his lips. His eyes were closed and his breathing felt heavy at times. An infusion hose was placed in his hand. Yes, now Eagle is lying in the hospital because his body condition dropped back.

Licia came to the Eagle's house, but her domestic assistant said there was no one at home, because everyone was in the hospital.

So this is where Alicia, sitting looking at her best friend's ex-lover, her eyes glazed over seeing the usually cheerful and attentive man now lying weak.

"Eagle was unconscious last night" his mother told Licia. "A few nights ago the Eagle was also often delirious, he called Nara's name. Aunty is not sure what happened between Eagle and Nara. Every time the aunt asked, Eagle was always angry and he forbade the aunt to contact Nara. At first the aunt wanted to be angry, because why in the condition of the Eagle like this she actually left him. Though the auntie knows the Eagle loves the girl very much, but seeing her emotions like that every aunt mentions her name, the aunt no longer discusses it, even though the aunt knows she misses the girl very much" Mama Eagle's story on Licia.

"Elang also forbade Licia to tell Nara"

"What happened between them" asked Mama Eagle.

Licia also tells what happened between Eagle and Nara and the Eagle's reason for covering up this reality from Nara.

"Actually Nara was also very struck by aunty, she thought the Eagle had actually abandoned her just for the sake of another woman. But had she known the condition of the Eagle, there was no way she would have left him alone, Licia knew, Nara would have always been with the Eagle, giving her spirit"

Mama Eagles nodded in understanding, tears were relentlessly dripping on the cheeks of the middle-aged woman, her eyes were sad because they saw the condition of the child.

"Does auntie mind if Licia brought Nara here"

Aunt Lina shook her head "No, you promised the Eagle no"

"But Licia was sure, Nara would bring kindness to the Eagle. Licia was sure, Nara was a strong woman, she could definitely give spirit to the Eagle"

"As for Licia which is the best, aunt already has no other choice. Aunty can only pray for the healing of the Eagle, various efforts we have done, but still do not make him eager to heal" said Mama Eagle, there is a tinge of frustration and surrender in every speech.

"Then, Licia excuse me. Eagles also sleep again, later to greet Licia to Eagle yes tan"

" Yes Ca, thank you for visiting the Eagle"

Licia hugged the middle-aged woman's body. A woman who tries to be strong for her child.

"Strong aunt, take care of your health" whispered Licia in Aunt Lina's ear before taking off her arms.

***

Licia had thought of everything, including if the Eagle was angry later. But this has to be done, he does not want his best friend constantly hating people who love him very much.

"You're taking me where Ca is" Nara said as Licia suddenly picked her up and took Nara away.

"Somewhere, someone is waiting for you"

"Who"

"You can see for yourself later"

Licia parked her car in the parking lot of a hospital.

Licia still won't answer. Licia will bring Nara to see the Eagle, she has not told Nara about the condition of the Eagle. He wanted Nara to see how the man was doing.

Licia and Nara were standing in front of an inpatient room. Nara was still confused as to why Licia had brought her to this place.

"You can see for yourself inside" said Licia

"Who's Ca?" Nara frowned looking for answers to her best friend.

Licia opened the door and led Nara into the room. It appears that a man is lying weakly with an infusion hose and some aids in his body. Nara's body trembled, her heartbeat raced fast, the closer she grew trembling and until in front of the bed with her body lying on top of it, Nara widened her eyes, shutting both her mouth. He almost screamed because he could not help his surprise.

The rumbling of his blood flow seemed so fast with an irregular heartbeat, tears melted just like seeing a figure who had been desperately wanting to be hated but was now in a condition that he had never expected.

"Elangs.. "bluffed. The eyes were still closed, but from the strokes of his face he seemed to be holding back the pain. His body was thin and hollow in both his eyes.

Nara looked at Licia to look for answers to what was happening.

There was a look of disappointment in Nara's eyes as she looked at Alicia, disappointed as to why Licia had hidden all of this from her.

Nara could no longer be in this room, she wanted to cry roaring but not here, because the logic could still think, she did not want to wake the Eagle.

Nara closed her mouth and immediately ran out, her tears growing louder on the cheeks. He ran to the hospital park, sat on a park bench and cried, digesting what he had just seen. It was as if he could not believe that the man lying down was the same man whose name was still engraved in his heart.

Licia came over and hugged Nara. But Nara immediately distanced her best friend's body.

"What happened, Licia? Why are you hiding this from me?" Nara's question was raised in a disappointed and pleased tone. Nara shakes Licia's shoulder.

Licia was also unable to hold back her cries.

"Calm down, I'll tell you everything, I don't plan on hiding any of this, but I haven't known the gospel for long either" Licia sighed. His voice grew heavier, he was confused where to start.

"Please Licia say, what happened? she's okay, right?" Lirih Nara's. Suddenly he remembered his dream, a dream that had come several times. Dream that the Eagle will go away. "No!! nay! it's just a dream!" Shouted Nara.

Licia tried to calm Nara down.

"Calm down, I'll tell you everything if you calm down"

"I can't calm down before I know what's going on!"

"I'll tell you, but not in this way"

Nara took a deep breath and then exhaled. Repeat several times to calm down. Removing her tears repeatedly. There was a sudden tightness afflicting him, like a huge object squeezing his chest. It feels so painful, maybe it will get sicker if he knows the condition of the man he loves. He must be ready to face the worst possibility though, seeing the condition of the Eagle, he knows something is not good. Not just sick, but I don't know if he doesn't want to guess.

"Please Licia, tell me what's going on"

Licia took a breath, set the word to begin her story....
