The next day, exactly five in the morning. Samuel's car appears to have just arrived after the hospital gave approval for an outpatient procedure.
As usual, Samuel carried Ayu into the main room and laid her on the bed. Not to forget he opened the window and also the door of the terrace room so that the fresh air that morning could enter.
"Remember not to move much of Babe's right hand area. If you have to, you don't get out of bed all day." Samuel's Pinta has been tossed around for some number of times.
"If you want to pee and poop?"
"What good is it that I live. Let me carry it." Ayu breathed a heavy breath. He was certainly still embarrassed when he imagined Samuel helping him when he was peeing or defecating." Hows it? Still sore?" In an instant, Samuel was already sitting beside Ayu's head.
"Had taken the medicine so the pain was reduced."
"Still not wanting to make calculations. Or at least I'll crack his hand like I did to you."
"Remember not to take revenge." Ayu lifted Samuel's ear softly.
"I'm actually upset."
"You're so arrogant Bee."
"I can be a serial killer if you will." Answer Samuel.
"No need to bee."
"All men must be angry when the woman is hurt." Samuel began to play his fingers on Ayu's forehead.
"Just be angry, don't touch let alone reply. You hit him too." Ayu still remembers when Samuel kicked Alan's body on the floor.
"Yes. You defended her again."
"I hate him. That's why I don't want to deal with him anymore. I'm doing fine. The doctor also said that the crack wasn't severe."
"Hm yes I lost. Let's sleep, all night in the hospital right." Samuel took off his t-shirt and trousers and threw them at him recklessly. Do not forget the curtains are closed even though the windows and doors are left open.
"You're sultry Bee?" Ask Ayu slowly.
"Want to warm you up." Samuel grabbed the air-conditioning remote and added the temperature.
"Remember my hand. I can't be hugged."
"Yes I remember." Samuel's hand slipped into Ayu's back neck.
"Not a tingling Bee."
"It's usually like this."
"Hm yes. I wonder what your hands are made of so that you can hold my head up all night."
"If you are comfortable, the tingling sensation will disappear. Get some sleep, don't keep protesting."
"You're sleeping too."
"That's sure. Hoaaaammmmmm.." Samuel pretended to yawn when drowsiness was not felt at all.
Seeing the state of Ayu's hand, making her feelings hurt. He was acting sleepy, so that Ayu would rest after half a night in the hospital.
The tongue is not bony. I promised to take care of you but now I've hurt you..
Samuel looked at Ayu's face from the side, looking more innocent with half-opened lips.
"You didn't sleep Bee?" Samuel was shocked when he realized Ayu had not yet fallen asleep. His body was tilted so that the two faced each other even though they could not stick to make room for Ayu's hand in the bandage.
"I thought I was sleeping."
"Just close your eyes."
"Are you hungry?"
"No."
"Why should?" Ayu dragged her body up and then pressed her lips against Samuel's for a moment. He smiled with a reddened face as a touch gesture was trying to convey.
Samuel moved his body closer. Replying to Ayu's lips with soft lummatan. When the response was obtained lummatan became a little heated but still able to be controlled given the state of Ayu's hand.
"You need to rest." Even though lips say so. But Samuel did not stop his lip-play.

At about 11 p.m., Dimas's car was parked in front of Samuel's main door. In his right hand he carries a small black creche bag.
Apparently Samuel had been waiting for Dimas' arrival, because the door opened immediately when Dimas had just swung his foot onto the porch.
"What's really good for bone recovery." Samuel received a crackle bag from Dimas.
"Yes Sir. It just so happened that Mr. Asrul from the village. I met him and explained the delay. He advised me to eat the fish."
"Why not buy ripe."
"She will be more effective if cooked alone. I told the merchant to cut and wash. It's just staying in the fry, sir."
"Hm yes already. Thank you, yeah."
"Sama-sama Sir. Excuse me."
Samuel brought the fish in after closing the main door. He again washed it in running water because the fish mucus was still visible.
After being sure it was clean, Samuel smeared it with lime juice to remove mucus and fishy smell. This kind of knowledge was obtained from his late mother when he used to see her process fish.
"I'd rather fry now."
"Bee." Samuel paused his intention to leave the room and walked over to Ayu.
"Hungry?"
"Yes. But I want to pee."
"Hm come on." Samuel picked up the blanket and lifted Ayu's body and walked into the bathroom.
Upon arrival there, she sits crouching and helps Ayu take off her trousers.
"Attent." Prevent Ayu when Samuel touches his dallam pants.
"Why?"
"It's better off first." Touching hand support fabric.
"Can't." Samuel continued his activities even though Ayu was half-dead embarrassed.
"Then clean it up how's Bee?"
"Living in the clean."
"But.."
"The sick must obey and must not be ashamed." Samuel gently pressed Ayu's shoulder to sit on the open toilet.
"Turn the body first." Pinta Ayu Lirih's.
"I've seen it many times." Samuel turned his body around rather than having to argue a lot.
"This is another Bee." Ayu tried to pull out the dirt little by little so that Samuel did not hear the gurgling of his water.
"Have you?"
"Attent."
"It's so long."
"Patience to Bee. Must be done." Samuel chuckled at the mirrored reflection of Ayu's face from the glass in front of him. While Ayu was too tense, not realizing it all." It's." Already." Samuel turned around and glanced at Ayu's thigh which looked docked.
"Wake up let me clean up."
"Clean on." Said whining.
"Gosh my god." Samuel knocks the toilet and automatically water out to clean." Let's stand up." Slowly, I stood up. Samuel took a small shower located beside the toilet and washed Ayu's property feelingly.
I hope my stomach doesn't hurt until my hands heal. It's a shame to have Mas Sam clean that up.
Ayu sat in one of the dining chairs, watching Samuel who was either frying what fish. Smells fragrant. That was Ayu's opinion for the first time when her nose came into contact with the scent of the cork fish.
But when Samuel put the fried fish in front of him. Suddenly Ayu's appetite immediately collapsed. He remembered the form the fish hated the most. Soft textured and fishy smell full of mucus.
His late mother had cooked the processed fish but Ayu was reluctant to touch it. He prefers to eat tempeh and fried tofu rather than his stomach will be felt in a stir when pieces of fish pass through his throat.
"What would Bee be?" Tanya Ayu stammered.
"If not wrong fish cork. He said it was good for healing."
"A I don't want Bee." Samuel turned. His hand restrained and chose to put the plate again.
"Why?"
"Dislike it."
"For Babe's medicine. So you'll heal fast."
"Yes, but I don't want to. Better to eat white rice." Cork fish without spicy chili. What it feels like later.
"I've fried it for you. Just eat a little."
"No need to bee."
"Try first. Just little. Your husband made it." Ayu shook her head slowly while turning away. He really didn't want to touch the fish." I was tired of buying it in the market and then doing it. But you don't appreciate it." Ayu still remembers the fishy taste of the fish can not be eliminated with any seasoning.
"Battle is enough Bee. I don't want to eat it." Answer Ayu lirih. He glanced at Samuel who was pretending to put on a disappointed face.
"Hm, let me throw it away." The words heard on the press made Ayu not to the heart and prevented Samuel by holding his arm.
"Just a little. If I'm sick don't force it anymore."
"Yes Babe. Let me feed you." Samuel took a small piece of cork fish meat that was still warm, he blew it for a while and thrust it into Ayu's mouth.
With a gentle breath, Ayu opened her mouth slightly to take the fish out of Samuel's hand.
It's my husband's. It's very special. You have to believe you can eat this to appreciate the hard work..
Ayu chewed it slowly. Enjoy the tenderness of fish without the fishy aroma. The texture of the meat of the fish was so dry that Samuel fried it with a small fire.
"Hows it? Yummy?" Ayu nodded while muttering. Samuel went from his seat to pick up the chili sauce that had been cooked and added spices." I can't make chili but I've been processing it more spicy." There's a good thing Samuel's been traveling for over a year. He has a lot of experience from there.
"Serious Bee. The sauce is delicious. The bitter taste is gone and the sweetness of the spiciness is very fitting."
"I just made it. Said you like it spicy."
"It's delicious." For the first time Ayu praised the delicacy of the cork fish. Is it because it is not amis? Or the fruit of the sincerity of Ayu received a dish from her Husband so that the fish that was once hated now feels shaking the tongue.
