A bajaj sound was heard among the sounds of other vehicles. On Cinaru Indah street, an orange bajaj stops in front of a house. Calvin felt like he was not always. Sherin usually stands on the side of the road looking for public transportation. This time the girl was invisible.
Calvin turned to house number 35, his eyes round when he saw the figure of the girl he knew very well was lying on the porch of the house.
"Sherin!".
Calvin quickly got down from his steel and ran to Sherin, who was lying down. Calvin raised Sherin's head so that his hand could become the pedestal of that head.
"Sherin's up, Sherin?" Calvin patted Sherin's cheek.
Calvin felt his hands touch the hot skin. He checked Sherin's forehead.
"Your sherin has a high fever. Sherin wakes up, why are you sleeping here?".
No, Sherin's not sleeping. Calvin believes Sherin fainted from staying out all night.
Calvin's left hand knocked on the door so hard that anyone inside would feel the noise. Soon after, Yani who seemed to have just woken up.
"What's the morning that makes a storm?" ask Yani cynically.
"Look at Mom's son, he's passed out and he's got a fever" Calvin said.
Yani looks at Sherin who closes her eyes in Calvin's lap.
"Let alone, later also self-conscious" said Yani indifferently.
Calvin looked at Yani in shock, he did not expect a mother to say that. Added again with an expression that looks completely indifferent to the condition of his son.
"Mom, this is Mom's son. Why are you talking about it?" calvin said he looked down on Yani.
"Heh who do you think you are? Don't care about Sherin" said Yani.
"I'm a friend, but I have a heart. And you, a mother but no conscience to her child" Calvin replied upsetly.
"Well, if you really care about him, you take him. Take him and don't come back to this house. Here he is of no use" said Yani.
Without a second thought, Calvin picks up Sherin and leaves Yani. Calvin painstakingly opened the door and laid Sherin's body in the passenger seat.
Yani just looked at the bajaj driver who had taken Sherin away.
"Basar Sherin, he befriended even poorer people. That kid is useless. If it wasn't for Vishnu defending that unlucky child, I would've thrown him out on the street.".

Bajaj orange stops in front of the hospital. Calvin, who was carrying Sherin on his lap, quickly walked into the hospital.
"Hurry to give the best treatment possible" Calvin said as he laid Sherin's body on the hospital bed.
"Good Sir. Please wait outside" said a nurse.
Calvin looked very worried. He cannot sit still. How can Sherin stay out of the house all night, while last night it rained heavily.
Calvin took the phone and called someone. I don't know what he's talking about, but he looks very serious. After he finished calling, Calvin sat down quietly.
"You're a patient's family?" ask the doctor who just walked out of the room.
"I'm a friend" Calvin replied.
"All right, come with me" said the doctor.
* * * *
"The patient is simply exhausted and has too many thoughts. The patient also caught a cold causing him to have a fever.
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot. To maintain his health, please do not let the patient have a lot of thoughts.
"Of course Doc".
After the conversation was over, Calvin walked out of the doctor's office. He headed to the room where Sherin was being treated.
Inside Sherin's ward, Calvin sits next to the hospital bed. He looked at Sherin's face. His hands raised caressed that pretty face.
Sherin's fingers started moving. Calvin who realized it immediately tapped his hand from Sherin's face. She knew Sherin wouldn't like it if she touched her face.
"Where am I?" Sherin talks to herself unaware of Calvin's presence.
"Neng is in the hospital again" Calvin replied.
As soon as he saw Calvin, Sherin was shocked. How could the driver be with him.
"Kok Eneng sleeping outside?" ask Calvin.
"Thank you Bang for taking me to the hospital" Sherin smiled.
Just this time Sherin gave a sincere smile to Calvin. Usually if he smiles, it is just a fake smile.
"Well, I'm both Neng, but answer my question first" Calvin said.
"My mother stopped me from working yesterday, but I still left for work and finally when I came home from Kak Jura and Mr. Ralvin, my mother did not love me to enter the house. Maybe this is appropriate for me as a child who is not submissive" said Sherin lowered her head, hiding her reddened eyes from holding back tears.
"It's not wrong. I also wonder why there is such a mother" Calvin responded.
"Oh yeah, how can you bring me here?" ask Sherin curiously.
"Oh that, I happened to pass the front road of Eneng house, I kept seeing Neng already asleep on the floor. Neng's body had a high fever, so I took her to the hospital" Calvin replied.
"Neng, it's better for Neng to go back to my contract" Calvin said suddenly.
Sherin widened her eyes. Could Calvin have offered to stay a contract with him?
"Heh Bang, even though Abang has not helped me, but there is no way I want to stay in a contract with Brother" said Sherin began to issue a distinctive tone of speech, namely anger.
"Eeh not Neng, I mean next to my contract, there is an empty contract, well Neng better stay there aja" .
"What parent do I have? I have a home and I'm not being kicked out of the house" Sherin said.
"Neng was expelled with his mother Eneng. He said, 'If you really care about him, you take him. Take him and don't come back to this house. Here he's of no use', it's Neng".
Sherin did not believe Calvin's words, but looking at Calvin's very serious face and eyes, Sherin slowly believed.
"But my mom said that?".
"Truly Neng. Maybe Neng's mother was angry again and she needed time to get angry. Well, all you time, Neng lives in that rented alone." Calvin assured.
"But..."
"The question of paying it is the last business of Neng" cut Calvin.
Sherin thought long enough. He knew his mother did not like him, plus last night, his mother must be very angry. During this time he never felt coming home with a calm heart. Somehow it came to Sherin's mind to try to live independently and be able to feel the term 'My House of Syurgaku'.
"Ok" Sherin finally replied.

Jura had returned home even though it was still noon. He gets word from Filly that Sherin is not coming to work today and is not telling. Hearing that Jura immediately asked for permission to go home sooner.
Last night Jura stayed at Ralvin's house, since then he has not informed Sherin again. What makes her panic even more is that once she gets home, Sherin is not home.
"So the Sherin went for a ride with the bajaj driver. He's not saying goodbye" Yani told a lie.
"If papah does not know Ra, because papah just woke up" replied Vishnu.
"There's no way Sherin would want to walk around more than work. Also, if he does not work, he will tell Jura or his friends" said Jura.
As they continued to discuss Sherin, Jura's phone vibrated in a sign of incoming messages.
'Ra, Sherin's in the hospital again. I'll clear it all up'. That's the message Ralvin wrote.
Without speaking to her parents again, Jura immediately left the house without saying goodbye.
"Jura why? How come you're not saying goodbye?" Yani was astonished by Jura's attitude.
