18. Immutability

Mama moved Kirana temporarily to Bang Adnan's room because Mama had to change the bed sheet and hang her mattress wet from Kirana's sweat. He also vomited and made his room dirty. Bang Adnan who had wanted to rest after almost a night of work undo his intentions. He took a shower and helped Mama make some porridge for Kirana.

“Try you who bribe may want. Mama wants to wash your sister's bed first,” said Mama.

“Later if Mama wants to enter her mattress says Brother do not Mama who raised himself,” said Bang Adnan was embraced by Mama.

Bang Adnan stepped inside his room while carrying a bowl of marrow porridge and a glass of water to feed his sister. When he entered, he saw that his sister was sleeping deliriously and Adnan could clearly hear whose name his sister was being delirious about.

“Yes Allah tormented you so much with Keenan's departure?” adnan Gumam. Occasionally his hands would wipe away the tears that kept flowing from his sister's eyes.

“Dek Kirana...,” call Adnan who has been unable to see his sister suffer so much in her nightmares.

“Abang?” kirana said that she finally woke up.

“Eat first yuk, Brother bribe ya?” persuade Adnan but Kirana shook her head.

“Eat a little, so you can take medicine. If you keep this up how do you want to heal Dek?” adnan said again.

“My head is dizzy Bang,” said Kirana complaining about her body.

“Ya so eat just a little so as not to add dizziness,” Adnan did not stop persuading his sister, but still failed.

Adnan failed to persuade Kirana. He gave up and let his sister go back to sleep. He stepped out of his room then he sat on the swing on the 2nd floor balcony where he was and usually Kirana would sit down then Adnan pranked his sister. The bench felt a little dusty as it had been a long time no one occupied.

Adnan keeps tinkering with his phone. To be honest he also wants to know where Keenan is now, how he is doing or whatever he can know about the person he already thinks is like his own sister. Unknowingly, Adnan instead contacted Raihan and Adnan was clearly unable to dodge once Raihan asked about his purpose of calling.

Raihan realizes that something is going on, so he emboldens to visit Kirana's house after her working hours are over. Still wearing her full uniform she came to greet Mama and Papa who also just returned from the mapolda.

“You want to know which Om child?” ask Papa to Raihan.

“Two Om,” answers.

“If Kirana is sick, continue to take care of Adnan in Adnan's room. Just come in, you already know which Adnan room?” said Mama.

“Iya aunt thanks, sorry Raihan permission to enter,” said Raihan so polite.

Raihan finds Adnan persuading Kirana to eat, but the girl continues to refuse him. It was fortunate that he had bought something for Kirana and Adnan so he had a reason to enter and meet both of them.

“Kok lo can be here?” ask Adnan.

“No idea,” says Raihan.

“You why Dek?” raihan asked as he looked at Kirana who could only lie limp on the bed.

Raihan put down the parcel he was carrying then he asked Adnan a little away just so he could get close to Kirana. He sat on the edge of the bed then with the back of his hand he checked Kirana's body temperature which was above average. Adnan understood the situation so he chose to go out and leave Raihan and his sister.

“You are rich gini because I am Yes Dek?” ask Raihan.

“Ngak Bang, don't say so,” Kirana said.

“Dek, if indeed you want to refuse Brother why don't you do it? Don't sacrifice yourself for the happiness of others,” Raihan said.

“Abang..., serious brother Kirana?” ask Kirana later.

“Kan Abang already said, Brother is serious with you. Brother sincerely accepts you, but if you do not want yes already do not be forced. Brother will not have the heart to torture you through a relationship that you do not want Dek.”

“Kirana, you know the reason for your doubt. You still can't forget Keenan, right?” raihan asked Kirana to cry for a moment.

“Abang is indeed recently experienced in love and it's the same you. You don't know the pain of being abandoned by someone you love so much, but you promise to help you figure out what's gone. If it is not your brother who ends up with you, Brother will still help you,” said Raihan.

“Abang will not force you. You think you rejected Brother. Now you no longer need to think macem-macem until the gini-rich pain. Pity your own body,” said Raihan began to leave.

“Bang don't go. Brother.., Kirana loves Brother. Kirana does not want to go, do not go anywhere Bang,” said Kirana.

He immediately forgot with dizziness in his head, he immediately sat hugging Raihan and cried for the first time in front of the man, “maafin Kirana Bang has hanged Abang, sorry Kirana, sorry,” says Kirana still crying.

“Have not cried, is it not short of breath Dek?” raihan said while stroking Kirana's back full of affection. Seeing Kirana's current condition made him realize that the road would be heavy. The journey will be very long. For the sake of being able to restore the smile of this girl he loved he had to be willing to fight hard.

“Kirana, we go to the hospital huh? You can't bear to see you are rich gini continues,” said Raihan.

Kirana who had been rejecting everyone this afternoon in front of Raihan Dhananjaya had weakened. He could not refuse his orders. From within her little heart, Kirana had already learned to accept Raihan. It was difficult, but he had already accepted it in his heart. Kirana finally chooses to wish her heart, accept Raihan and let go of her past armed with the promise Raihan gave her.

Raihan slowly put down Kirana's body again and then he stepped out and found Adnan crying in front of his bedroom door. With millions of thanks he poured out to Raihan who was finally able to calm the great turmoil in his sister. He was grateful and grateful to his friend for what he did.

“I don't know what to thank Han. If there is a better expression than thank you for sure I have used it now,” said Adnan.

“You don't have to thank me. It was my decision to accept Kirana as my future. I promise, I will take good care of your sister until my last breath. There will only be Kirana, your sister in my heart,” Raihan said.

Raihan smiled, then straightened the shoulder of his friend who had been crying while looking down, “now mending lo help me make take Kirana to the hospital,” said Raihan.

Adnan braced himself, wiped his tears and went straight down to prepare the car while Raihan asked Kirana's parents for permission to take their daughter to the hospital.

“Alhamdulillah O Allah, thank You for sending an angel as good as Raihan to my daughter. Thanks son, Mama thank you very much. Thanks for accepting your daughter. Thanks Raihan,” said Mama joined in crying as soon as she heard what happened.

“Nak Raihan, Papa can't thank you for anything other than an unbroken thank you. Papa promised, Papa will give all the best for you and Kirana. Raihan, thank you for accepting Papa's children who have many shortcomings. Thank you son, Papa will continue to pray for your happiness. Papa hand over Papa's daughter to you,” Papa said.
