"Gue doesn't need to be compressed, Dira ... All I need is enough Lo!" Axell said softly and now pulled Dira closer to him.
Not refusing, Dira just complies. But the girl did not position herself by lying down the same as Axell, but rather half-sitting and leaning with the head of the bed. Dira decides to stay awake to keep Axell safe now. As the man often did when he was sick.
There was no movement when Dira returned to put a compress cloth on Axell's forehead. The man turned out to have returned to sleep with a slanted position while hugging Dira's stomach. Even still occasionally heard murmurs coming back out of Axell's mouth.
As Axell's head clung to his stomach, Dira was able to sense Axell's high body temperature. Although not directly in contact with his skin because it is blocked by the clothes Dira wears, but Dira can still feel. Dira also intends to find a heat-lowering drug and give it to Axell, hoping that the fever will quickly go down.
Dira's hand moved slowly to release Axell's embrace. But instead of being detached, Axell who felt disturbed by the movement of his wife even more tightened his embrace, as if not letting the girl go.
"Don't go anywhere, I'm here!" Axell muttered softly, but still Dira could hear clearly.
Either Axell is conscious or just delirious. Dira is not sure because Axell's face is not visible because it snuggles into his stomach.
"I'm not going anywhere, brother. I just want to find a cure for Axell's sister." Said Dira who either sister Axell could hear it or not.
"Gue doesn't need medicine or anything. Which I want you to keep in here." Axell replied, muttering back.
Dira just sighed softly. In good health or illness, Axell is still the same person. Not to be denied.
Silence, Axell was no longer delirious like that. Even now there was a smooth snoring and regular breathing from Axell. A sign that he is soundly asleep.
Out of nowhere, Dira's hand is now lifted to gently rub Axell's hair. It was as if she was channeling calm for her husband. "I'm sorry, brother, I always take care of my sister, love to be stubborn if you tell her, and also can't be a good wife for Axell's sister."

The next morning, Resty's mother, who was preparing to leave, was walking slowly towards the kitchen.
"Bi Well!" Call Mother Resty to her domestic assistant.
"Yes, Mom ..." Reply bi Inah quickly and immediately walked closer to her employer. "... What's wrong, Mom?"
"I want to go to Bandung susulin. Later do not forget to wake up Axell the same Dira for breakfast yes, bi. Looks like they're still sleeping!" Tell Mother Resty.
"Good, Mom." Answer bi Inah while slightly bowing her body.
"Oh .. yes ... Please look out for them, bi. Tell me if Axell to evilin his wife .. can ya, bi?" Pinta mother Resty again.
"good. Yes, Mama." Answer her with a smile.
"Yes, I left first, yeah. The hunt's jammed." Said Resty's mother straight out of the kitchen.
...***...
On the other hand, in a luxurious room dominated by black, white and gray. A girl who had just fallen asleep an hour ago now began to reopen her eyes. She wakes up to check her husband's body temperature.
"His fever has come down." Said the girl slowly. The girl who was none other than Dira was now slowly getting out of bed to go to the bathroom did not forget also she brought a change of clothes.
After finishing his bath, Dira came out of the bathroom. The girl immediately dried her wet hair.
Finished with the business of drying hair, Dira suddenly remembered something. He then opened the dresser drawer and looked for any heat-lowering drugs that might be stored there. Nil. Dira did not find any Paracetamol drugs there. The girl then decided to go out and look for her in the kitchen. Arriving at the kitchen, Dira saw Bi Inah who was washing used cooking utensils.
"Morning, bi." Sapa Dira while walking closer.
"Morning too, non. Wah ... aunty to shock, non. Just finished this holiness want to wake up non Dira. Uh, got up first." Saying bi Inah.
Dira smiled, "No pa-pa, bi. Oh yes, bi, Dira wants to ask, Usually mommy if nyimpen medicine box where yes, bi?" Ask Dira politely.
"What medicine is it, non?" Tanya bi Inah was curious about what medicine was meant by her employer's daughter-in-law.
"Paracetamol, Bi." Answer Dira.
"O .. There are non. Bentar, aunt takein ..." Say this while walking towards the table not far from the dining room. "... Non Dira sick?" Ask your mother when taking the medicine box from the table drawer.
"It's not Dira bi, who's sick. Axell Semalem has a fever, it's really hot until it's that." Obviously Dira told me about Axell's situation last night.
"Den Axell if you have a fever again like that, non. It's been from childhood ..." Answer bi Inah while looking for Paracetamol in the medicine box and hand it to Dira. "... well, den Axell fever, non? How is it, non, mom is not home anymore, non? How's this?" Said the mother who suddenly became confused herself.
"Udah .. aunt calm down! Axell's brother is dying, bi. Semalem Dira also had time to give compress Axell." Reply Dira who tried to calm bi Inah.
"Thank God, non. Aunt relief now." Reply bi Inah while rubbing her chest.
"Where are you going, bi?" Ask Dira who asked where Mother Resty went.
"Mother again to Bandung, non, nyusulin father. Maybe he'll be home tonight." Answer bi Inah.
"Yes, bi. Dira wants to go back to the room first, all you want to bring breakfast for Axell's sister." Said Dira who was now walking back to the kitchen to take breakfast for Axell.
"Don't, non. Let aunty bring her food non and den Axell!" Prevent bi Inah.
"Yes, non. This is over aunt ate. This, non, the tray. "Jawab bi Inah while handing over the tray to make it easier for Dira to bring her food.
"Thank you, bi. That's when Dira goes to the room first." Said Dira who was now walking towards the stairs.
"Udah is beautiful, kind, independent, polite again the same old man. Den Axell is lucky to have a wife like non Dira." Said bi Inah when he saw his master's son-in-law walking up the stairs with a tray filled with food in his hand.
Arriving at Dira's room immediately put the tray on the nightstand. Dira's hand stretched out to touch Axell's forehead.
"Still anget." The girl then grabbed a cell phone to send a message to someone.

Dh,
Pura2 gk tau.
Jaun.
Dira smiled looking at the contents of the message between herself and Melody earlier. Obviously Axell did not enter, because Axell was indeed sick and the reason did not enter today because he wanted to accompany Axell, her husband.
The girl shook her head slowly, turned off her phone and put the flat object back on the table, without replying to the last message Melody sent. Now I turned to look at Axell. And,
The deg!
The views of the two meet. I don't know since when Axell woke up and is now staring at him.
"Morning is smiling while looking at your phone! Who's chat from?" Axell asked full of questions.
Dira sighed softly, "From Melody, my sister ... Permission is not to enter today." Answer Dira honestly.
"Why not go in?" Axell was surprised. Remembering Dira who had a fever yesterday, the man woke up to get closer to Dira. His hand was raised to touch the girl's forehead. "... it's not hot."
Dira shook his head, "I'm not pa-pa, brother. I didn't go to school because I wanted to keep Axell at home."
