"Whatever I will do to make you always there beside me, Ra. Whatever it is, as long as I can always be the same lo" Richard's seriousness firmly believes his decision.
Aish shook his head, smiling briefly. "If your belief is just that, how can I be sure that your heart will not change for me, Richard" speech that increasingly makes Richard upset.
"Keep it what? Lack of evidence especially so far to show the seriousness of my feelings for you, Ra?" the resignation of Richard who always found a dead end every discussing the future of the two of them.
"Wouldn't we rethink our relationship, Richard? I was afraid when my feelings for Elo were too great, and we were faced with a problem of belief, I finally had to learn to let go again, lose again".
"Losing our loved ones is a real pain, Richard. Many times I fuss, even until now I may not be sincere".
Richard fell silent, letting Aish say his whole heart felt stuck.
"In the past when I lost my father, my only encouragement because there is still a mother who is always acting tough in front of me".
"Mother is like me, always lying when saying that we never miss the same brother Alif who has left, even he did not come just to see father for the last time".
"Loving people we can't meet is different from missing people we can still meet but can't reach anymore. It hurts more".
"Farewell to death, only prayer can I pray. And surely I feel the presence of those who also embrace in feeling".
"But parting from selfishness hurts more because we can see them but can't hug because of circumstances. It hurts a lot, Richard".
Started, drop by drop of tears fell between the words that came out of Aish's lips.
"When I lost my mother, I was sure you could help me make it through my toughest day. And it turns out, you're always there when I'm alone"
Aish slightly smiled at Richard as she said so. Richard returned the bitter smile, hearing Aish's heart he had never spoken before.
The joy that Aish always displayed, actually she also harbored tremendous sadness.
"Now, I'm too afraid to lose you, since the beginning we've been wrong. I've been too dependent on you. If later fate requires us to separate, I don't know who will be the reason for me to survive" finally Aish relieved to have said all his chatter so far.
The long, wide choice of words that Aish had spoken, hoping Richard would not be offended by his remarks.
Now, both are silent. Soluble in each other's minds.
"Gue wouldn't have been able to if you had stayed away from me, Ra. Instead, we try to hold on first. Later when our minds are more mature, there must be the best way out. Now, let's just go first. I'm not going to ngijinin lo stuff as hell to go ninggalin me".
It was Richard's turn to pull out his tits.
"Especially lo's condition now like this, it is impossible for me to face it alone".
"Please, Ra. Don't talk about it now" Richard said, unable to stand this kind of situation.
Aish nodded, she wiped the tears with the tip of her hijab. Do not forget to wipe his snot that came down when he was crying, still using the tip of his hijab.
"It's so dirty, it's a tissue on the table. Ngapain ngelap snot wear hijab anyway, this abis replace hijab lo. I'm disgusted" Richard said with a lazy look.
"May you please take it, right? The distance is far away from the tissue" said Aish with his ignorant plan.
The tissue box is at the end of the table, although it is closer to Aish's seat, but needs to stand up to be able to reach it. Aish's legs still hurt, unable to stand.
And when Richard stood up to get the tissue, of course his body was right in front of Aish.
Soon Aish pulled Richard's t-shirt, and used it to wipe away any remaining snot. Even Aish laughed while doing that.
While Richard who had managed to pull some tissue sheets even glared at Aish who laughed at him.
"And again I took the tissue, Ra. Why did I wear my shirt anyway? You're so dirty to know" Richard commented, which made Aish laugh more.
"Jeez, the shirt's wet, Ra. And that's because there's snot lo. Hih, disgust me. Geez, you're so dirty" Richard grumbled because of Aish.
"A little Richard. Don't you really love me? Are you angry anyway?" aish said acting sulky.
But still smile with slightly puffy eyes.
Richard became anxious when he saw Aish's childish side like this.
Richard's turn to the ignorant. He cupped his palm on Aish's cheek. With a gesture as if wanting to kiss, Richard moved his face slowly.
"You want what lo? Don't mess around, Richard" said Aish trying to let go of Richard's hand grip on his cheek.
Because Richard's handrails were too strong, Aish instead tried to kick Richard using his left foot that was on the gibs.
"Okay, auwhh.... It hurts" complained Aish who forgot the condition of his legs because of Richard's actions.
Richard immediately took off his hand, and immediately crouched down before Aish to see the condition of Aish's legs.
"Oh, sorry. Sorry, Ra. It hurts like hell?" asked Richard worried.
Aish just grimaced with the pain, and let the pain go away on its own.
And yes, they got along again.
★★★★★
The next day, Richard could not go home immediately after school.
Willy invites her to see the interior design plans of the music studio she is working on.
"Yes, Richard said he can't go straight home right now. His sister is not sure to meet together for a discussion on the subject of his music studio" Yopi said while driving to Richard's house.
"Kok he didn't know me anyway?" ask Aish.
"Hape you're dead, yes. Richard said he couldn't call you" Yopi replied.
Aish checked his phone, and it's true that he forgot to snarl the phone last night.
One of his bad habits.
"Oh, yes. Hape I'm dead, Yop" said Aish cengengesan.
"It's really your habit" grumbled Yopi with the focus still on the highway.
"Yes sorry. Then, you yourself also want to go immediately later when it reaches Richard's house?" ask Aish.
"Yes, I still have a job at the cafe right, Sya. Part-time work" said Yopi.
Aish understood Yopi's same state as him.
"Okay, there's still Widya who I want to see" said Aish who became familiar with the art that Richard was assigned to guard.
Aish and Yopi this time were quite friendly, the two were still chatting until they arrived in front of the house.
Yopi helps Aish back in his wheelchair. Afterwards, she lets Widya push Aish's wheelchair into the mansion. And immediately rushed off after Aish had already gone inside.
"Sir, how can I go up to the second floor?" ask Aish who is already in the living room.
Widya pushed the wheelchair towards the swimming pool. The stairs that Aish used to go to her room, just passed by her.
"Lho, bbak. How's it going this way?" aish asked increasingly cluelessly.
"There are stairs that are specifically wheelchairs, non" Widya said.
It is true, next to the gazebo there is a straight staircase up without a staircase designed specifically for disabled.
The location of the stairs that are slightly disguised by the presence of a large aquarium makes it even more invisible.
"Formerly, his late grandfather, Richard, was also wheelchair-bound before he died. So, this staircase is devoted to him when he wants to see the state of his grandson" Widya said telling a little family Richard.
"Oh, that's it. Then why did Richard never step through here, madam? Even hard-earned my carry up to the top?" ask Aish who is inexhaustible with Richard's behavior that complicates himself.
"I don't know if it's a problem, non. It is better not to ask directly the same person, yes" Widya said.
" yes, deh. I'll ask myself" said Aish.
By nightfall, Richard had not yet returned home.
As Aish revives his hape, Richard's chatt reports that his meeting has yet to find an agreement.
Still need a discussion to get the layout that matches Richard's expectations.
All Aish could do this time was to remain silent in her room.
"Non, here's dinner. It's okay if non Aish eats dinner in the room?" widya asked while arranging food on a small table in front of Aish.
"It's okay, relax. Thank you mbak, I'm so troublesome" said Aish.
Widya simply nodded with her hands busy preparing the medicines that Aish had to take after eating.
"I'm sorry, but. Later if there is nothing, non can call me again" Widya said after completing her task.
"Yes, mom. Thanks" said Aish politely.
Widya nodded, saying goodbye after getting permission from her young lady.
Aish eats quietly while occasionally looking at her phone screen. He was reading an article on the internet.
Finished with her dinner, Aish is too shy to call Widya just to clean up the dirty dishes.
With his own initiative, Aish tried to reach for his wheelchair. After several studies, he can now sit alone in the chair.
Aish arranged the dirty dishes and glasses on the tray, then put them in her lap. Soon he rushed out of the room. Widya said earlier, no one who has gone home.
Papa and mama Richard return to Borneo to see the condition of the plant and garden. Maybe for the next few weeks they still can't go home.
Arriving near the stairs near the gazebo, Aish hesitated a little to get off on her own. "If I was tight-lipped, it would be nyungsep. If my hands focus on the wheel, the same plate that fell, the glass continues to break" Aish argued with himself.
"Keep how do I get down?".
"Ah, bodo is very. One hand hold the wheel, one hand hold the tray. Bismillah, safe" said Aish starting down the stairs.
Initially still smooth, the wheels can be controlled. But the more down, why the faster the wheel turns?
"Oh, how about. Aaahhh, the wheels are tightness" a little panic, Aish can only resign this time.
But the wheelchair's too fast when it's going downstairs. "Let me fall again, hopefully not too sick" Aish's inner self in between her panic.
"Aaaaahhhhhh.." shouted Aish in the middle of the spinning wheel.
"Almost, a little more surely I fell down, kept the plate and the glass breaking" Aish's inner being could only close his eyes.
"Ouch.. It's so sick" said someone in front of Aish.
"Eh, I didn't fall. Why did the chair suddenly stop?" said Aish who had opened her eyes.
And found a man who fell down in front of him. He groaned in pain, trying to stand up while holding his butt that had fallen.
"Sorry, it hurts?" ask Aish.
"Of course, what the hell is playing here? Who are you trying? Why is it in my house?" ask the man.
Aish is confused as to what to answer. He observed this still grumbling figure in front of him.
A handsome man who was no taller than Richard. Her hair is a little curly, but very well laid out to show a cool impression.
With black hodie and light blue jeans. And this time Aish saw it. Who her?
"Lo who?" aish asked doubtfully, still staring fixedly at the figure.
Hearing Aish's question, the guy instead scans Aish's appearance as a survivor of a free-glide incident, and manages to save the person along with the tableware on his lap.
"I should have asked you the same. Why are you here?" ask the guy.
"Wait, you're pretty too. It's not Art here, is it? you don't wear another uniform. But, I think I've seen you, where have you?" said the man was trying to remember Aish's face.
"Gue Aishyah" said Aish introducing himself.
"Oh, yeah. You're Richard's girlfriend, right?" ask the man with a fluffy laugh.
A little hesitant, but Aish nodded her head.
"Hi, I'm Romeo. It looks like this is my brother-in-law. Butesan Richard immediately repented, hahahaha" said Romeo, Richard's brother who was three years adrift with him.
Aish welcomed Romeo's smiling hand. Very different from Richard who pretentious cool and economical smile.
"I'm sorry, brother" said Aish, uncomfortable also looked on since.
"Just call me Romeo. Why your feet? Broken?" ask Romeo.
Aish shook his head, "Almost, but not until it breaks, Alhamdulillah" replied Aish who was observing his legs.
"Lo abis what's the accident? Why are your hands so scuffed?" romeo asked who was still observing Aish's entire state.
"Yes, abis got a little incident during school camping. But thank God it can still be helped" said Aish.
"So, where were you going? Why don't you ask for the same art if you need anything?" romeo asked more humble than his sister.
"Gue is not good, if I can do it myself why bother others? Aye right?" ask Aish.
"But you almost fell, still fortunately there are those who see. If not, you can actually break your leg" said Romeo who pushed Aish wheelchair towards the gazebo.
"Thank you, brother. Sorry for making my sister fall" said Aish feeling bad for Romeo.
Romeo smiled, "Beautiful is also in-law" Romeo muttered.
"Why brother?" asked Aish who could not hear clearly Romeo muttered.
"Eh, it's okay. What are you going to do about this?" ask Romeo.
"Not really anything" said Aish.
"We talked, I'm lucky to be home this time. Can be cemented with girls as beautiful as you" said Romeo began to mengombal.
"Sister could have" said Aish, but nodded as Romeo took her into the living room to have a more casual conversation.
