Chapter 26

"Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must  keep moving." - Albert  Einstein 
____________________________________ 
Nicole is currently sitting on the sofa with all her colleagues in the hospice, except for Haru and Arche, who are still missing. Nicole glanced at Nikki, who couldn't join in the conversation with her colleagues. She was quietly listening to their conversations while Jayson tried to forget what he had found out because he was joining in conversation with others.
"Where's Haru?" They looked at Arche, who suddenly appeared in front of them. Nicole didn't immediately answer Arche's question until Nikki answered, so Nicole looked at it.
"Arche, she hasn't been here yet."
"Not yet? She came here earlier. So she should have been here now." He said with a confused face. Nikki and Nicole looked at each other and Nikki smiled at Nicole.
"It's good, you're complete here." Nurse Freya suddenly spoke and for a moment she looked at Nicole.
"No nurse Freya, Haru is not here." Anthony immediately said here,
"Just tell Haru later if it comes. I have something important to tell you. Don't go to Jared's old room because it's a private room now and there's a patient there with a chronic infectious disease." Nurse Freya said while looking at Jasper and Nicole.
Jasper, Nikki, Jayson, and, Nicole know who nurse Freya is referring to, none other than Haru. After nurse Freya said that she left in front of them.
"Nicole, Haru is your cousin, right? Hasn't she texted you yet? I can't contact her."
"She's not texting me. Maybe she's going somewhere for a while." Nicole said here and stood up from her seat to avoid Arche's questions.
On the other hand Haru sat quietly on the bed until the door opened and the doctor came in and immediately closed the door.
"Why don’t you turn on the light?" He asked, then pressed the light switch so the four corners of the room would light up.
"Eat first, and your light should always be on here in your room, Haru. Aren't you getting scared in the dark?" He asked Haru again while arranging what Haru was going to eat.
"I'm just training myself because if the day will come when I won't have any light to see anymore."
"Eat this, mom cooked it by herself." Kian changed the topic.
"By the way, Arche has been looking for you for a while. Aren't you really going to tell him the truth?"
She shook her head at Kian's question and started eating.
"He had a right to know about your situation, Haru."
"I'm done, Doc. I'm full. You can leave now. I want to be alone," Haru said.
Kian did nothing he fixed Haru's utensils that she used and left the room, but he was very shocked when Arche suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Arche, what are you doing here?" He asked Arche loudly, so Haru was suddenly alarmed inside the room.
"I'm just passing by. What are you doing here? I thought the patient's disease was contagious. Why don't you have protection?"
"Because I'm a doctor." Kian didn't know what to say to Arche, so he kept closing the door before Arche peeked inside the room and pulled Arche away from that place.
"My mom already told you and to them do not going  here way, right? It's impossible that you just passed by there, Arche. Your colleagues are in the garden."
"Okay fine, I lied. I was curious there."
"Arche, your curiosity will hurt you when you try to figure things out." Kian's last words were meaningful, and then he quickly walk away from Arche.
While Haru breathed deeply because she had never heard the voice of her loved one from outside the room. She took her phone and opened it when she opened it, Arche's mom was calling, so she answered it immediately.
[Haru? Where are you?]
"Hello, I'm here at the hospice."
[Haru, you're there for a long time? Why is Arche searching you to me?]
"I-I confining here. And until now, Arche still doesn't know about my illness."
[Haru,] Katelyn called her name, but it can't add to what she's going to say.
"Aunt Katelyn, what is it?"
[You can come to my husband's house and I will take care of you.]
"No thanks, aunt Katelyn."
[I give you time to think, accepting my offer to you, and thank you to what you did to Arche and me.]
"I think about this aunt Katelyn," Haru answered on the phone and then said goodbye to Katelyn. Haru breathed deeply again and read Arche's texts to her. 
From: My moon
-Where are you? 
-Are you alright?
-You should be here at the hospice. Why aren't you here yet?
-Why I can't contact you?
-Haru I'm worried about you. Where are you? What happening to you? 
-Haru?
She did not continue reading the text instead she lay down on the bed and quietly cried.
A few hours later, she thought she had come out of the room. She removed the dextrose that was attached to her and carefully left the room. She made sure no one could see her. When she came out of the hospice, she was very happy because she saw the rain was pouring and she immediately raised her hand to cause dripping the rain from her palms. She went outside of the hospice and did not care about the heavy rain.
The rain made her happy, even though there had been a sad incident with her before while it was raining.
"Haru!" She ignored the person who called her name as long as she was enjoying the heavy rain until someone put an umbrella over her head, which caused her to lose her smile. She would have been angry with the person who put an umbrella over her head, but that was replaced by shock.
"I've been looking for you for a few hours and then I'll see you here in the middle of the rain." Haru smiled in front of Arche and memorized every part of his face. Haru left the shelter under the umbrella and happily invited Arche to take a shower in the rain.
"It's fun to paddle in the rain, Arche. Try it!" She was still convinced by Arche, but Arche grabbed her arm again.
"You're going to get sick of what you're doing. Come change your clothes. I'm sure Nicole has extra clothes." Then Arche invited Haru to go back inside the hospice. While Haru was still smiling like a happy little girl playing in the rain.
