Little Story About You
CHAPTER 8: PLEASE
Abel turned his gaze upwards, he did not dare to look at Ibram. The typical male voice instantly made his heart unwell.
“There's you too Ren.” Ibram greets Afreni first. Then sit on the single sofa on the left side of Afreni and the right side of Abel.
“Abis from hospital?” asked Afreni, he went to the refrigerator to get bottled juice, but Ibram gave a signal to refuse, preferring the glass mineral water arranged on the table.
“From his home.” Hugo pulled out of his chair.
“Ooh.” Afreni. “Pantes your shirt casual like that.” He said while observing the stripes of short-sleeved t-shirts and long black pants and white sneakers that Ibram currently wears.
Abel was still silent in his place, listening to the conversation of the three High School friends in front of him now. There was absolutely no courage to look at Ibram, but even so, he could clearly hear that from the man's way of speaking, it was very relaxed. Not as disturbed as he feels now.
“Oya, I'm first. Can't take long. Usual. Lunch only Hugo.” Afreni got up from the couch. Breaking Abel's mind straight away. Afreni smiled and waved at Abel before leaving. “Kak Reni is still waiting for your answer.” The word Afreni is full of meaning, leaving only Hugo, Ibram, and Abel.
***
Abel was still silent on the sofa where he sat. Hugo was well aware of it, he held back a smile, the man deliberately moved from the chair then sat on a single sofa opposite Ibram. Hugo will make Abel speak through him.
“Which Ibram Camera, Bel?” reprimanded, successfully jerking Abel.
“Eh.. Yes this is it.” Abel quickly took the camera from the table in front of him with a nervous feeling. His eyes did not focus away from Ibram's eyes. Then, he handed the camera to Ibram without daring to look at the man at all.
“Udah done?” Ibram received his camera and asked Abel. He looked at Abel and the camera in his hand alternately.
“Iya.” Answer Abel short. His eyes were not focused.
Hugo's laughter almost gushed watching Abel's behavior.
Ibram pulled out his camera from the pouch, then turned the object on. The next second Ibram sank into his camera, his eyes focused, and his finger moved to press a button, without wondering anything else about Abel.
“Why, Bro? Is something wrong with your camera? hugo's voice airs, asking Ibram because the atmosphere between them is suddenly quiet, besides Ibram's eyes are so focused on the camera.
“Ngak. Everything is complete.” Ibram replied satisfied, then turned off the camera again. Hugo and Abel.
“Sgratitude.”Hugo was relieved. He immediately gestured to Abel to express his gratitude, having been lent a camera by Ibram.
“Thank you so much for borrowing your camera.” Abel told Ibram. His voice sounded doubtful.
Ibram nodded once with a slow motion and a thin smile responded to Abel.
On his couch, Hugo observes the behavior of Ibram and Abel in silence, inexplicably a sudden idea pops into his head.
“Abel like the same all objects that lo portrait.” Hugo said, breaking their silence again.
Abel was shocked and immediately raised his face looking at Hugo. Because Abel was getting no guts to look at Ibram, because the man was looking at him right now. He just looked at Ibram after the man conveyed his happy feelings.
“Oya?”Ibram looked surprised looking at Abel.
“Ha?”Abel was surprised and looked confused. He looked at Hugo who gave him a nodding gesture. Finally Abel nodded his head at Ibram. “I, yes.”
“Thank you.”
“Same.. same.”.
Then Ibram's attention is on Hugo now. “Gue unplug directly now. Sori, can't take long.” He said as he got up from the sofa and did not forget to include his camera.
“Hurry to where, lo?” hugo said, shaking his head in disbelief. Hugo did not expect Ibram just a moment to pick up the camera in his workshop. He never managed to read Ibram's mind despite having been friends since High School. Ibram was the coldest friend he had ever known in his entire life.
“Sori.”Ibram. “Tadiny I have no plans here.”
Hugo sighed loudly. “Sialang. Judekah. What can I do.” Ibram arrived at the door of his study, the two still had a moment to talk outside, at the door, just separated and Hugo back into his study. Seeing Abel had been lying on the sofa while staring at the mobile phone screen.
“Bang Hugo.”
“What?”
“Neither pa-pa will Abel often-frequently come here now.”
“Because Ibram?”Hugo's even nosy.
“Bukaann. Again BT only at home.”
“Please.”
“Yang really?”
“Hm.” Hugo then threw a cloth at Abel.
“Aduh.”Abel complained of staring at Hugo ashen.
“Do not get used to wearing short skirts.” Tegur Ibram's.
“Why? Abel is regular.”Abel responded casually.
“So Ibram likes you.”
Abel immediately glared and changed his position to sit, he looked at Hugo. “So bring doctor Ibram.”Said surprised.
“Bang Hugo has the same intentions of your soul mate Ibram.”
***
The voice came from the doorway. Hugo and Abel turned to look at the direction of the sound. There, Hugo and Abel see Ray and Cindy have been in the doorway with faces still wrapped in shock.
Abel's own attitude had turned stiff. The girl quickly got up from the sofa, intending to dodge Ray and Cindy, but Cindy came closer to restraining her intentions.
“Lo likes doctor Ibram?”cindy's voice instantly stopped Abel's footsteps.
Abel did turn around, but his gaze was on Hugo. “Bang Hugo, Abel road.” He left without saying anything to Ray and Cindy.
But Ray did not let Abel go, the man quickly chased Abel until both of them were on the stairs at this time.
“Abel.”
He held Abel's upper arm before the girl more quickly took a step down.
“Wait, Bel.”
“Aaan anyway?! No release?!” snapped Abel didn't like it.
“NGGAK CAN.” Ray replied full of pressure with eyes sharpening, even the sound of his teeth clearly fluttering to hold back the anger.
Abel was stunned at the man he had known all along. A man who has never been so angry with her. But, from this attitude, frankly made him suddenly feel afraid. The girl swallowed her saliva, and somehow she felt her body suddenly suffocate. As she lost her energy and consciousness, Abel felt dazed and the next second her vision darkened.
***
Abel awakens to find herself lying on the same couch before. His head still felt heavy as his gaze pointed around the space, he saw Cindy and Afreni sitting next to him with anxious eyes.
Hugo, Ray, and Ibram were not far behind the sofa where he lay. Abel's eyes widened in shock and he rose up instantly. But failed because the pain in his head still feels heavy.
“Bel, rest first.” Cindy's voice held back Abel's intention.
Abel immediately pushed Cindy out of her way.
“Hold a minute, Bel. This Abis you may walk, after the pale on your face is gone. Okay?” pinta Afreni was more assertive, thus making Abel comply.
“Kak Afreni don't tell mom or dad, right?” asked Abel, while kneading the temple.
“Ngak. I know the business can be long. Moreover, there are relations with Ray as well as Cindy.” Said Afreni confidently while looking at his sister and Cindy alternately.
Abel smiled with relief. “Still, Brother.”
Afreni. “Same as Ibram. Lucky he was still around. We immediately ask him to turn around again to check on your situation. Brother is also relieved there is a pharmacy deket from the workshop.”
Hearing that Abel's gaze was immediately fixed on Ibram. “Thank you, Doc.”
“Iya.”
“Ngak pa-pa will use the frills of the doctor, because the position I am your patient now.” Abel said hoarsely, successfully inviting Ibram's smile.
Ibram's reaction just now, made Hugo and Afreni look at each other in wonder. They never witnessed Ibram blush by a female sentence.
While Ray and Cindy looked mute and displeased to watch the atmosphere in the room.
“Oya, Abel?”
“Yes, Doc?”
“You are anemic and there are the same digestive problems. The trigger of your diet is irregular. Eating but not healthy. Thoughts too. You are stressed.” Ibram said he was addressing Abel's health concerns.
Abel's smile slowly disappeared. “Iya. I'm engrossed in Jakarta.” Regretfully. He realized that rarely eating, once eating is not healthy food and it is not spent.
“Muter-muter Jakarta?!” ray's loud voice suddenly made them look at the man. Since then he panicked half-dead thinking about Abel's state, but the person he was worried about seemed mediocre. Not indifferent to your own health.
“He why, anyway?” abel said to himself.
Hugo took over. “Ray.” The repugnant is not happy. Holds his sister-in-law's shoulder. But Ray took off Hugo's hand and approached Abel, causing the girl to rise in fear. Running around Hugo's office to get away from Ray's action to catch him.
“ABEL!!”ray's voice was crazy.
Hugo restrains Ray before reaching out to Abel. “Lo aware, Ray. Abel was certainly not aware his health has not improved lately.”
“MINGGIR!” ray's voice broke all over. His eyes sharpened and his face hardened looking at the increasingly pale Abel and retreated slowly away from Ray.
“Ray stop!”Afreni yells at his sister.
“Bram, help me.” Hugo Pinta.
“Ngak!” abel's voice made them look at the girl. “I can ask for your help?” he said suddenly to Ibram with pleading eyes. He continued to dodge but still looked at Ibram.“Pliss.”
Actually Ibram did not want to interfere with the problems that occurred between them, but without him knowing, now he has been involved in it. If she refused to get involved, then the girl who was frightened not far in front of her at this time, would suffer and be disappointed at her rejection. Finally, Ibram was able to respond without hesitation, unheeded by the sharp look of Ray's eyes.
“What?”
“Antar I'm home.”
