Dandelions
56. Promise to Keep Together



"Did you eat this whole time?" ask Khai suddenly. He realized that Hali was a little thinner than before. Also clear eye bags are visible.


"Yes eat it! If you don't eat how you want to live. People who go to medical school don't know." Ketus Hali's.


Khai was surprised, an imaginary crossroads had already adorned his head. As much air as possible he raked to relieve his anger.


Seriously, this one friend really sucks!!


"Yes, if you eat it regularly, you won't eat it like this. The doctor says your stomach acid goes up, less rest too. You're learning how to be a zombie? No sleep, no eating. Hal, your body won't be tortured as hard as this." Said Khai who tried to give understanding with all the patience he had.


Seeing his own best friend until like this, makes a feeling of guilt appear because it can not help more.


"Whisper! I threw you out the window, by the way. Make your head dizzy." Hali Protest. He was tired of being talked to continuously since he just realized earlier. And until the pain in his head got worse, he still continued his lecture.


Well... Hali did not realize that Khai actually said that with worry. Hearing the bursts of his companions, an imaginary crossroads reappeared in his head.


"God! It must be you I throw. If it hurts a lot, don't make people go up!"


Khai strengthened his massage, even it seemed too strong to make Hali groan in pain.


"Argh! woy, bego pain!"


"Racaine!"


Calmness is just a pseudo illusion when the lovebirds are comfortable with their mouths, spitting out each other's garbage speech.


Unknowingly teasing the previously asleep existence, began to open his uncomfortable eyes.


Ken blinked his eyes slowly, adjusting to the light so dazzling the view went into his vision.


Re-obtained his consciousness after a while washed away in the dream world. His golden Netra opened completely and realized the figure he had been waiting for had already opened his eyes.


"Aren't you aware?" His hoarse voice rang out, inviting the attention of the two people to turn their heads.


"No, Ken got up! You anyway! Noisy mute! " Excited Hali followed the sharp gaze of her ruby bead.


"Gosh, Hali. Long time so in nabok really. It can be wrong people, no one says thank you at all. There's no morality!" Sembur Khai who is not inexhaustible with the behavior of his best friend. Lucky he was kind enough to help her, still added free massage again. But instead of the thanks he got, it was blamed like this.


Hali snorted in annoyance, "Ngga self-conscious emang who from earlier nagged indistinctly!" Her chirps.


The body stiffened and was immediately shocked when Ken realized his body suddenly hugged him tightly. "Kak Hali can't be rich anymore!"


Hiding unraveling tears, whether happy or sad. His voice seemed slow, sounding hoarse. "Kak Hali does not need a strong temple if it will eventually be rich gini!"


Hali was stunned, realizing that the cause of Ken's crying was her. He is weak, he acknowledges it before the universe. But his weakness this time made his sister cry, and he hated it. Because of him, Ken's tears must be wasted. He had made his youngest brother panic, but he could not see Ken crying.


Let the stranger out there judge him weak, but let him be a firm figure in his brother's eyes. He just does not want to trouble Ken with all the problems of his life that will actually make him depressed. Is that wrong?


"Kak Hali think I won't think that Kak Hali sampe drop kayak gini? I know Kak Hali doesn't want to make me sad or worried, but I also don't want to see Kak Hali stress until like gini. Especially to the maximum self and responsibility all by yourself. I don't want Hali to get sick again! We're gonna fuck this up the same, huh?"


A smile was imprinted on Hali's thin lips. His hand moved rubbing his sister's black mane. "Yes, sorry to panic you. I'm not papa."


"Don't repeat it again. I didn't want to see Hali pass out like that."


"Yes, not anymore."


"Dengerin tuh, your sister just know!" Sela Khai confirms Ken's speech. He was immediately greeted by a sharp gaze from a pair of ruby irises, complete with a fist that Hali showed behind Ken's body. If only the situation was normal, Hal would not hesitate to directly hit it because it had destroyed the moment.


On the other hand, Khai simply turned his gaze the other way. Really, for whatever sake he did not know what revenge Hali had on him so he never hesitated to throw a killing aura like this.


Until a while Ken was still reluctant to untangle his embrace. Hali did not mind, instead continued to rub her back gently until her crying subsided.


Perhaps never once did Hali know, will fear like what Ken felt when he saw his two brothers lying on the sickly bed. Worried, afraid if something will happen and confused to do how in a situation like this. Moreover, Ken who was so young must have felt so afraid of losing.


"So, I promise never to leave Ken..." The words were so subtle but still able to be heard.


Netra Khai and Hali stared at each other in horror, exchanging messages through eye contact, cursing inwardly. Could Ken have heard their chat earlier?


"I'm scared to death to see Kak Hali like this. I am afraid that one day Brother Hali and brother Taufan will leave me alone. I can't imagine my life without you guys."


"I don't want to be alone... I'm afraid you're gone..."


Hali's heart seems to be in a strong stab. Ken's words really slapped him. On any basis, he had already promised not to throw away his current life and live as well as he could. Because he believed in God's scenario, and all the destiny He gave him.


Ken's embrace was reciprocated by the older brother, even tighter than his embrace. They both do not want to lose, just by affirming each other. There will never be a farewell between them.


"Yes, I promise you won't leave Ken. Whatever happens, we'll keep going." Hali finally said.


Khai only fell silent, commented on his smile and became a witness to the promise of the two brothers.
