BEREAVEMENTS

Episode 8; Renatta Residence House

Lena slowly opened her eyes. He was no longer in the courtyard of Mr. Revelation but in the car.

Lena was surprised and woke up, but the pain hit her head. As he turned his head he saw Renov sitting behind the wheel. His face looks scared to look at the streets of Jakarta is so dense.

“Mas...” call Lena relieved to see Renov who is beside her.

“Lo is awake?” Renov turned his head as Lena called him, “lo all right?”

“My head... ah..” Lena massaged his forehead slowly.

“Lo is also feverish..” added Renov, he looked back to the front as the car in front of him moved forward slowly.

“Where are we going?” ask Lena.

“To the hospital...” replied Renov without turning to Lena. He did not see the change in Lena's paled face.

“We just go home..” take Lena down.

“Cannot. We have to go to the hospital.”.

“I don't want to!” unintentionally Lena raised her voice. As Renov turned his head in surprise, he saw Lena turn her face away.

“We have to go to the hospital, Re..” Renov carefully touched Lena's arm, trying to persuade her.

“I don't want... I want to go home..” said Lena again without looking towards Renov.

“Re...lo cry?” Renov seemed to realize something, although he was surprised, he still tried to calm down, “hei..” Renov grasped Lena's fingers gently.

“We go home, Mas..” Lena lowered her head, observing the finger that Renov was holding. Although her eyes were blurred by her tears, Lena could still clearly see Renov's worries.

“Iya, we go home, do not cry.eh can cry, but do not be long..” Renov took off his clutches and stroked Lena's arm as the car in front of him returned to running. Renov doesn't understand why Lena got that way. Renov glanced at Lena from the end of his eyes and turned the car towards Lena's house.

“I'm sorry, Mas..”kata Lena said. He feels so ridiculous. Why did he cry in front of the man. It was the first time I cried in front of someone else. His condition is completely out of his control. Why did everything suddenly feel so heavy on his shoulder.

“Why even apologize, I apologize, “ Renov wipe the remaining tears on Lena's chin with the back of his hand. He did not expect Lena would cry in front of him like before. Renov's heart suddenly broke for making the girl cry a second time.

“Gue denger you just stay with Dad. If we go home, who will take care of you later? Lo's dad working? I want to take you to the hospital”, Lena swooped slowly to answer Renov's questions. But one of the reasons Lena didn't want to go to the hospital was because her father would be so worried about her. He did not want to make his father anxious. Lena doesn't like being in the hospital. The hospital gave painful memories of her mother's death.

“Lena has a family doctor really, Mas.” replied Lena of origin. Lena was lying. He also did not want his family doctor to know because it was the same as telling his father.

Renov glanced back at Lena, he could see the concussion in Lena's heart. What exactly did Lena want to hide from him?

“Lo sure no need to call a doctor?” renov asked while helping Lena sit on her bed. Arriving at Lena's residence, Renov lets the girl into his room. Very simple room. There is only furniture as necessary. Renov spread his eyes.

“Yes, Lena is not papa, Mas. Just a little fever, no need to call a doctor. Lena also has medicine at home”, Lena refers to the nightstand next to her. Renov then opened the nightstand and took some medicine from the drawer.

“Gue get water first..” Renov rushed out of Lena's room and walked towards the kitchen of the house he had seen when he entered the house.

Lena's house is not very large, from the living room directly to the family room flanked by a glass door to the courtyard on the left, several rooms on the back, and the kitchen on the right. There is a staircase up to the second floor next to the kitchen, and from the Renov family room can see two rooms flanking a room full of books.

Renov returned to Lena's room and handed her a glass of water. Lena grabbed the glass with a smile. Feeling comfortable with Renov's treatment of her.

“Thank you..” said Lena sincerely.

“Yes you should thank me a lot today. Take your medicine and go to sleep. I will keep elo until your father comes home.” Renov grabbed Lena's blanket and covered the girl's body up to her neck

“Mas can go home, really. Lena is fine,” Lena looked at the man that was bad. It is impolite to leave his guests alone while he sleeps in his room.

“Gue is not good. I have accepted your request and now it is better to go to diem. I have also promised to Mr Sony to keep elo!”, Renov's orders are firm, “calm, I'm tame. You can trust me. I will not attack elo..” said Renov this time smoother while grinning.

“I believe Mas, just..” Lena still doesn't feel good leaving her guests alone.

“What? Do you want me to sleep here?”

“Ngak Mas! No need...eh can not..” Lena stammered at Renov's question. He hid his face under the blanket.

“Don't worry, there's a lot I can do here, watching TV or reading books. I saw a lot of books on the second floor.” Renov pulls Lena's blanket over to see her face. Renov then smiled reassuringly, “Re, elo do not always have to look okay to make others not worry about lo..”.

Lena threw away her sight. For some reason, when Renov looked at her like that, Lena seemed to be unable to wear any mask to cover up her feelings. Renov not only looked into his eyes, but into his heart, making Lena worried but he also felt comfortable being himself.

“Alright, do whatever you like when you force..” Lena closed her blanket and closed her eyes slowly. The medicine he was taking had already started to react, making him drowsy.

Renov smiled when he heard Lena's soft snoring. Out of the room, Renov opened the glass door next to the living room and breathed in the air around him deeply. Another thing that complements this house is a spacious garden. Lena's house is arguably small but Lena's home page is so spacious and green by a variety of plants. Renov thought, if they only live together, how does Lena take care of her garden?

Renov lay behind a glass door reading one of the books he picked up from a nearby shelf. Just a few pages that Renov read until he fell asleep. The cool air made him sleepy and fall asleep there.
