"Nong Earth, go home now. Plapodd is in hospital B. He is in room 321."

It was the shocking message I got from my condo security. My heart beat so faster that I couldn't drive fast.  I had to drive carefully. P Podd was waiting for me.
What happened to him? P Do, my condo security didn't want to tell me.

***

I ran to the room 321 as soon as I arrived at the hospital. I saw P Podd laying on the bed. He was sleeping. His face and body were okay. What happened to him?

"Nurse, what happened to him?" I asked a nurse who took meals on the table.
"Oh, someone hit his stomach but he is okay now. He was just shocked. Don't worry. Your friend will be okay. Well, the meals are here. Ask him to eat then." I nodded and the nurse left me.

P Podd was sleeping. I took his phone and saw his call history. I found the number of my condo security and Sing.

I went out and called Sing.
"Hello, Earth."
"Hello, Sing. Well, P Podd called you today?"
"Yes."
"What were you talking about?"
"He asked me about what happened few days ago."
"About me?"
"Yes. He asked me what I knew."
"What did you say?"
"Well, I told him that we didn't go to the locker room because there was a notice written on the door."
"What notice? I didn't know the notice at all."
"It stated: GUYS, THE FLOOR IN THE LOCKER ROOM IS SLIPPERY. DON'T ENTER. I SLIPPED THERE. And the name under the notice is your name."
"What? I didn't write it. You lied, Sing."
"No, please listen to me first!"
"Some of us didn't believe it. I knew that it wasn't your handwriting. That's why we called the security guard to open the door. We gathered there after we heard something inside."
"What did P Podd say after you told him?"
"Nothing is important. He just said he understood and thanked me. By the way, Earth, where is P Podd? You can ask him, right?"
"He is on the bed. We are in the hospital. I don't know what happened to him."
"Oh no. I'm sorry, Earth. I should have told you about this before."
"It's okay, Sing. See you later."
"See you."

That man! Who was he? Did he meet P Podd?

I entered the room and I saw P Podd trying to get water.
"P Podd." I ran to him and hugged him tight.
"You're here."
"Hmm. What's wrong with you? Did you hurt?"
"No, I am okay. Don't worry."
"P, I'll help you eat." I helped P Podd eat. He didn't tell me what happened. Perhaps it was not the right time.

P Podd begged his doctor to allow him go home. After some requierements, we went home. I drove him to his house in the country. I asked him to stay at my condo but he refused. He was angry and told me that he wanted to take a taxi. So I allowed him to go home but I drove him.

We arrived at his house. I told his mum that P Podd was sick. She was worried but she was happy to see me. He asked me to spend night there.

We were in P Podd's room. I helped him change his clothes. He didn't want to talk to me since he refused my offer.

"P, I don't know what happened to you, but it is uncomfortable for me to be here if you refuse to talk to me. Did I make a mistake?"

P Podd was still silent. He opened his phone.  He ignored me.

"I hope you better soon. I think I should go home." I stood up and walked to the door.

"Earth, come here!" P Podd stopped me. I decided to sit on the bed and prepared to hear what he wanted to say.

"I want to believe you. But tell me the truth. Everything that you said on the day you were attacked was true, wasn't it?"
"Of course. I didn't lie to you, P."
"Sing told me about the notice."
"I didn't write it. I swear, P. Please believe me."
"Of course. Come here. I'll hug you." I hugged P Podd and he kissed my neck.

"Today, I met Mey and that man. He showed me a video."
"What?"
"I'm sorry. Because of me, you were attacked. Someone sent you a terror gift, and ..."
"Terror gift?"
"When I was coming to your room, I saw a bag. There was a bottle of blood and a letter. Mey and that man put the bag in your door. I chased them. I wondered who attacked you. They were Mey and that man. It was Mey's idea. I'm sorry, Earth. I don't know what would happen if you couldn't escape from that man."
I was shocked. Really shocked. Mey must love P Podd very much.

"P, it's okay. That is my past. I don't want to talk about it anymore. Now, tell me! What hurt you?"
"I just felt so tired after I hit that man. He hit me once or twice. But I hit him many times. Police arrested them." I couldn't believe it. What happened to P Podd was like a drama.

That night, I slept in P Podd's room. I didn't hug him because I was afraid if his mother came in the room. But I was happy. He was alright and the problem was solved finally.

***
In the next morning, we went to the police station. We met Mey and that man. They apologized to us. But they would be jailed because it was a criminal case.

Tbc.
