You & Dusk
Hospital

Just this time I was driving at an unnatural speed, even red lights I was blown to get to the location quickly. I don't know what really happened, which I do know is that Ilham is currently in the hospital with a pretty severe condition as a result of inhaling a lot of smoke from a factory fire. At least that's what I know about his mother who called me this morning.

Just freaking out last night I didn't activate my smartphone because it was with Sahidah, Ana and Riyal in a movie theater. Until I got home, I didn't see a smartphone and fell asleep. In the morning I was quite surprised to see some messages from Ica and Ilham asking about Ica.

I thought they were in trouble, so Ibu Ilham called me and told me that Ilham is currently in hospital. I was surprised and rushed to the hospital, hopefully I just met Ilham in the hospital.

Shortly after getting a call from his mother Ilham, I contacted my class friends on campus through the WA group if Ilham is currently in hospital. With great care some of them decided to come to see Ilham.

I was still stuck on the road because it was densely creeping, I could only go 20 km/h. Even occasionally having to stop so dense that it makes me restless. The thing I'm afraid of is Ica who has no news at the moment, I hope she's not in the hospital with Ilham.

The journey time from my house to the hospital was normally only 20 minutes, but now I took 50 minutes of time out on the road and struggled with anxiety and anxiety.

When I arrived at the hospital, I rushed into the treatment room where Ilham was currently lying. When I got into the hospital lobby I met Gina who looked panicked.

"She's.."

"Somali.."

"have you met Ilham?"

"yet, I'm also new to nyampe" he said a little panicked.

"yes, he's on the third floor of jasmine treatment room number 4. Just be that."

The two of us quickly walked towards the elevator and climbed onto the 3rd floor of the hospital building. I saw Gina was quite agitated by what was happening, I understand because Ilham was a close friend of both of us.

"no word from Ica?" ask Gina when I enter the elevator

"nothing, I've been on the phone but not active."

"uh.. Ica, I hope he's okay." I hope anxious.

"Arm.. Actually last night Ilham came to my house." said Gina suddenly.

"huh!"

"he suddenly left when he got a message from Ica. I don't know exactly what happened either, but Ilham looked anxious yesterday." continued Gina.

I was actually wondering what made Ilham visit Gina's house at night but I was more curious about Ica's current state. I got more anxious after hearing Gina's story, what else Ica wanted last night to ask me for help.

Amidst the uneasy feeling, the elevator finally opened and we both stepped quickly towards the room of Ilham's care. When I arrived in front of the room, I knocked on the door and entered it. But all I saw was the mother of Inspiration, while Ilham was not visible to her nostrils.

"Son Arman." said to Ilham's mother.

I then approached and greeted him while kissing his hand like a young man who respects the old. Likewise with Gina who looks awkward because it was the first time Gina met Ilham's parents.

"Ilham where's aunt?"

"he's in the room next to son. Another friend of his was treated there."

How surprised I was to see a woman lying in a bandage tying her head. The woman is Ica and is currently unconscious. Beside him was Ilham who was still attached the infusion hose was sitting while holding Ica's hand.

Not yet I reacted, Gina was hysterical to see Ica's condition and immediately ran up to her. The inspiration that heard the two of us enter the room turned to look at the two of us.

Gina immediately cried to see the current condition of her best friend. While I walked slowly while blaming myself for not seeing the message from him last night.

"Ham.. How are you doing?"

"go well, as you can see." she replied.

Gina is still hysterical, she also blames herself for what is happening with Ica at the moment. Ica's bruised face made Gina's cry even more so. He continued to hold Ica's hand as he hiccupped Ica's name.

While I was looking at Ica's condition unconsciously began to grin with anger with myself. "if yesterday I didn't turn off my smartphone." I thought

I approached.. My anger was ignited when I saw the bruise on Ica's face. I clearly knew that the wound was a punch wound. While holding back my anger, I saw Ilham. "what really happened? Why is Ica like this?"

Ilham staggered along with his Infusion while taking me out of the room. We walked far enough to a window. He told me the events of the night before, slowly but surely I was getting late in regret and anger knowing the events that befell them both.

I was angry with the person who had done this to Ica and I was angry with myself. I hit the wall as a sign of my frustration, I feel like I want to vent my anger and right now it's just a wall that I can overflow with anger.

"gue knows what you're rasain now, trust me Man. My feelings are much redder than yours because I just realized my feelings all along. The person I love is Ica.. Not a little girl who has been present for a while in my past" he said holding my shoulder.

I lifted my wakah and hugged her.

"sorry." said Gina who rebuked us from behind.

We both turned around, Ilham looked awkwardly at Gina and vice versa.

"what's Gina doing?"

"e. ngak.. Yes ngak papa. I just saw you two here" he said

After saying that he turned around and left us. Looks like he went back inside Ica's treatment room.

Gina turned her back on us, she seemed to have overheard our conversation and what I didn't realize were the tears that kept falling as she heard the words of Inspiration.

Soon after one by one our class friends on campus came to see Ilham. They are the same as me, do not know if Ica is also treated in this hospital, especially Ica's condition is more severe than Ilham. There were some bruises on Ica's face and she had a bit of stitches on her forehead.

Friends who see Ica in this condition look sad. Some were crying and some were angry with the criminals who made Ica become what it is today. Wahid was no exception from earlier kicking the chair in the room. He was very angry with Irwan, because he was the beginning of all this.

Ilham told us all, if Irwan was a drug dealer and the one who kidnapped Ica was a drug dealer syndicate where Irwan got drug supplies and it looks like Irwan has a debt in the syndicate. Ica who was thought to still be in contact with Irwan became a victim due to Irwan who had disappeared for a year without paying his debt to the syndicate. This information, obtained by Ilham from the Police who handle the case that befell Ica.

It's been an hour since I came to this place, but I still haven't seen Adi, even though I've contacted him if Ica's condition is very concerning at this time. I had also asked Gina about Adi but she herself was confused and answered not knowing.

I'm so confused, what really happened to my friends these few days. If I notice the distance between us is getting wider. Gina and Ilham look awkward and Adi.. No news at all.
