*JUSTIN'S POV*
Kemaren aka hari yang cukup menyebalkan dalam hidup gue. Untuk pertama kalinya gue ditampar mantan gue. Kampret. Mana ditampar di depan rumahnya lagi. Gue kan cuma mau ngajakin damai. Ah elah.
Hah, surem. Duh udah deh ya, gue lagi buru-buru ke Sevel depan sekolah aka tempat janjian gue sama Brooke hari ini. Gue bilang gue perlu ngomong sama dia. Gue bener-bener pen marahin dia gegara dia bikin Cam gamau ikut ke Minnesota.
Nah, there she is, in front of that building. Gue parkir mobil lalu lari nyamperin dia yang baru mau masuk Sevel.
"Brooke." panggil gue.
"Oh, hey." sapanya.
"Uh, I need to talk about Cam." kata gue. Kita lalu masuk & pesen minuman.
"Okay, so, what are you going to talk about?"
"Hm, I'll start. As you know, Cam's biggest dream is to become the best basketball player. And he won most of his dream when we won the last tournament." kata gue.
"Yeah."
"And I know you'll always support him whatever he want to do as long as it's good for him." kata gue.
"Of course."
"I just want you to let him go to Minnesota and reach his another dream. If you know what I mean." kata gue.
"Uh, wait. I think there's a misunderstanding between us. I let him go but he didn't want to go. And he didn't tell me the reason." kata Brooke.
"Really?"
"I said the truth."
"Okay so, why didn't he tell you? You're his girl, right. He tells everything that I don't even know, as his bestfriend I feel a lil bit offended." kata gue.
"But that's the reality, Justin. I'm not lying." kata Brooke, nada suaranya naik.
"And why didn't you just ask him? Force him to tell what's going on." bales gue agak emosi.
"I don't wanna ruin his privacy, okay." kata Brooke.
"But that's not even privacy. He'll tell you what's the reason except he want to keep your feelings, like he didn't tell you that he's going to die with that disease!" gue akhirnya teriak. Beberapa pengunjung Sevel ngeliatin kami. Brooke syok. Tiba-tiba gue ngerasa bersalah nyebut-nyebut kankernya Cam.
"I'm just trying to tell the truth." kata Brooke nahan marah & nangis. Dia langsung pergi ke kasir, ngebayar minuman kami, lalu keluar.
"Brooke!" panggil gue sambil ngejar Brooke. Sialnya dia keburu naik taksi. Gue coba telfon dia, tapi handphonenya off. Ah elah kampret.
"Justin!" panggil seseorang. Gue noleh, ternyata ada Kenneth, senior basket gue.
"Ken, kapan dateng?" tanya gue masih kaget. Dia ga bilang kalo mau ke Amerika.
"Barusan nyampe. Eh gue liat, lo kok kejar kejaran sama cewe gitu sih? Kenapa?" tanyanya.
"Uh, tadi ada salah paham dikit." kata gue.
"Hmm, pacar lo?" tanyanya.
"Eh, engga, ade kelas." kata gue.
"Oooh, oke." katanya.
"Lo ko ga bilang sih mau ke sini." kata gue.
"Gue kira coach udah ngabarin lo semua kalo gue mau kesini." katanya.
"Coach ga bilang apa-apa tuh."
"Hmm, jadi, gue disuruh ngelatih kalian sebelum turnamen di Minnesota, terutama strategi kalian." katanya. Gue cuma ber-oooh ria. Pikiran gue kebagi antara Cam, Brooke, sama turnamen.

"Eh iya, si temen kalian satu lagi siapa, Cam ya?" tanya Kenneth sebelum latihan sore itu.
"Dia ga ikut ke Minnesota." kata gue.
"Loh, kenapa? Dia kan center kalian kan?" tanyanya. Gue ngangguk.
"Alesannya gajelas. Ntar gue paksa dia ikut deh." kata gue.
"Oh, oke bagus. Pastiin dia ikut." kata Kenneth. Gue ngangguk.

Pulang latihan gue langsung ke rumah Cam, gue mau maksa dia ikut turnamen.
"Oh, hey, J. Masuk." katanya.
"Thank's." jawab gue lalu masuk.
"Uh, Cam. Gue pengen ngomong tentang turnamen." kata gue.
"Hmm, what is it?" tanyanya. Ekspresinya berubah kecut.
"Tim kita bener-bener butuh lo, Cam. Coach, temen-temen, bahkan Kenneth, lo inget kan?"
"Hmm, iya."
"Mereka semua pengen lo ikut. Lo bisa dibilang kekuatan Eastwood Warrior, Cam." kata gue.
"Uh, Tin. Gue sebenernya mau ngerahasiain ini, tapi gabisa. Gue tetep harus ngomong. Terutama sama lo." kata Cam. Gue jadi tegang.
"Lo gapapa kan?" tanya gue.
"Di luar iya, tapi di dalem, gue udah rusak, Tin. Kemaren, gue scanning lagi, dan ternyata kanker udah menguasai hampir seluruh otak dan sekarang turun ke paru-paru atas gue."
"Godness." gue syok.
"Dan ini yang paling penting. Gue gamau lo bilang ke siapapun tentang ini. Gue ulang, kek yang pernah gue bilang, jangan pernah basih tau orang tua gue ataupun Brooke, ataupun orang-orang terdekat gue kalo gue sakit parah. Biar mereka tau sendiri pada waktunya." kata Cam.
"Cam, bilang ke gue lo bercanda, bilang ke gue lo cuma mau ngehibur gue." kata gue mulai stress.
"Lo bisa liat muka gue, gue ngga bohong." kata Cam lalu menghela nafas.
"Dokter bilang umur gue mugkin 3 bulan lagi. Bisa lebih lama, atau mungkin lebih cepet. Tapi itu perkiraan dokter." kata Cam.
"Cam, lo harus sembuh, Cam. Lo harus berobat sekarang juga. Jangan sampe penyakit lo nyebar ke mana-mana." gue panik.
"Percuma, Tin. Gaada obat yang bener-bener cocok buat penyakit gue. Dan kalopun ada pasti biayanya mahal banget." kata Cam pasrah.
"Gue bakal cari uang buat bayar lo berobat. Gue bakal lunasin semua biaya rumah sakit. Udah, gue bawa lo ke dokter ya, lo harus dirawat." gue panik & pusing. Gue kecewa parah sama penyakitnya. Kenapa harus sahabat gue. Kenapa ga gue aja. Lagipula gue udah bosen idup. Oh My Godness.
"Udah tenang aja, Tin. Gue berusaha nyiapin perpisahan yang indah buat kalian semua." kata Cam.
"Cam, stop! Jangan pernah bilang tentang penyakit lo lagi ke gue. Pokonya gue harus bikin lo sembuh apapun caranya, berapapun biayanya. Lo harus sembuh, Cam." kata gue. Gue stress luar dalem.
"Hey, gue baik-baik aja ko, selama gue ga ngerasain klimaks dari kanker gue." kata Cam.
