A Light Fountain
Concealed



**


While on the way home from the hospital, Mr. Sur occasionally glanced at the rearview mirror. He was worried to see Assena's face so moody when he came out of the hospital, especially very briefly when he visited his father earlier.


"Did something happen?" Batin mr Sur.


**


Entering the gate of a large and luxurious house.


"Please miss!" Mr. Sur opened the car door.


Assena went down with her face still glumly lowered. By stepping lazily into the house.


"Yes, you've come home from the hospital." Sapa bi Nem was in the kitchen that saw the arrival of Assena.


Assena only had a slight smile forced on her. Keep stepping up the stairs.


Brugh Assena slammed his body on his soft bed.


The shadow of his father and uncle's words kept spinning in his head.


"You're right Dad, I still hate you." He closed his eyes.


"But you never know, on top of my hatred there is still love for you. However you are my real father, the figure of the father who has given me wonderful memories when I was a child. Laughing with you and with mom. Even after that you're also the father figure who ruined everything." He was still closed in imagining the happy memories of his small family before the destruction occurred.


Then her tears came. The shadow of a happy little family's past, continues to linger until the shadow of his mother's departure.

Tok tok tok tok


"Miss Sena it's time for dinner."


The sound woke Assena from her sleep.


Yes, he fell asleep that afternoon.


Still gathering his consciousness, rubbing his two eyes. Sometimes he also yawns.


"Would aunt take her dinner to Miss's room?" Say bi Nem again when you don't get an answer from inside the room.


"No need to bi, I'll be down in a minute." Assena replied in a loud voice.


Yes he was willing to come down for dinner because he knew for now in this house there was no father and stepmother who made him lazy to eat together.


**


After taking a shower, Assena rushed down to dinner.


Sliding the chair and then sitting, seen at the table many of his favorite foods. But the food is not too much as usual because Arkan, Evelin and Isabella are not there.


"Bi.." Call Assena to see bi Nem in the kitchen.


Bi Nem rushed over. "Yes, what's wrong?" He said with a washcloth on his shoulder.


"Sit down with me to eat bi." Assena smiled.


"Emm but.." Bi Nem was doubtful.


"It's okay, sit down! And bring Mr. Sur here." Smile with friendly.


Now, at the dining table there is already bi Nem and Pak Sur. They look awkward.


"Don't worry, you're family to me too." Said Assena smiling looking at bi Nem and Pak Sur alternately.


Look, even he's more comfortable eating with the workers at his house than with his own exit.


Seeing Assena who looks happy in the company, also makes bi Nem and Pak Sur look at each other and smile at each other.


**


In the hospital, in Arkan's treatment room.


"Dear you go home first, bring Isabella home. Poor he's tired." Said Arkan who was sitting leaning on his treatment bed. He saw Isabella sleeping on the sofa beside the bed.


Spacious treatment room with luxurious facilities.


"Then we go home tomorrow morning. I've been tired of being here all day." Arkan.


"But what about your condition? You haven't healed properly." Timpal Evelin looked at Arkan worriedly.


"I'm better, I'll ask Dr. Roghi to check on my situation at home later. I can't heal anyway. It can only slow down the moment of my death." Arkan said with a bitter smile.


"Please don't talk like that, it's just a doctor's diagnosis. The doctor is just an ordinary human being don't believe too much in anything he says. But we can hope in God." Evelin said as he moved from his seat, approaching Arkan.


"Hope there may be a miracle from God, you must believe that." Evelin's whisper cupped Arkan's face, staring at Arkan's two eyeballs. He tried to convince and encourage Arkan.


A long time ago, Arkan's eyeballs look glazed. He was so moved by Evelin's efforts to encourage him.


He hugged Evelin tightly.


"Please promise not to tell this to Assena and Isabellam" whispered Arkan in the middle of a still tight embrace.


**


Days pass.


It's been a few days now that Arkan hasn't gone to the office he's just monitoring his company from home, with reports from his secretary.


Assena knows her father who since returning from the hospital, has not been seen to move as usual anymore.


Maybe his father just had to rest and recover his health. That's what Assena thought.


**


Today is saturday. Assena is at school.


In the classroom.


"Come on Sena you have to come!" Persuade Jasmine.


From that moment he was so painstaking to persuade Assena to come to Alvin's birthday party.


"You're not tired of constantly persuading me? I'm the only one who heard it so bored and so hurt my ears." Assena still doesn't care.


"I won't give up, you have to come. I don't want to come alone, you're my only friend. Do you have the heart to let me come alone, you're my friend but you're so mean to me." Now her acting sulked with teary eyes.


Exhaling and twisting both his eyes. "Well well stop pretending to sulk, I will come with you" said Assena after knowing the acting of his best friend.


Jumped into hugging. "Yeay, you are indeed my most beautiful, sweet and kind friend." Jasmine said with excitement.


"Let go I can't breathe!"


Wake up and let go of her very tight embrace. "I'm sorry I'm too happy." Jasmine smiled broadly.


"But remember I was just accompanying you. Don't ask me who's weird there later." Assena.


"Well, princess, it's up to you." Jasmine replied, not caring about her friend's warning.


"After school let's go shopping first buy a dress for the event later." Bring Jasmine.


"No, I'm lazy."


"Let's go I beg you, I have to buy a nice dress for the show later. I forgot to buy it, while the show's tonight." Whimper Jasmine pleads.


"Alright whatever" replied Assena flatly.


"Yeay, we can just go with your car!" Jasmine said with a big smile revealing her row of teeth.


Assena simply rolled her two eyeballs, unable to resist Jasmine's will anymore.


He thought he had no new dress. He also intends to buy with Jasmine later.

While returning home from school, Assena and Jasmine waited in front of the gate.


Not usually Mr. Sur late to pick up.


Czechiiit... The sound of a motor sport stopping right in front of them.
