"Well, if there's anything, there's a guard in front of the room. Mbok Asih was guarding Hafiz."

Arya's mother held Rara's hand.

"Yakin' Rara herself?"

Rara nodded.

"Yes ma.. Tomorrow Rara comes home for a minute to pick up clothes, keep coming here again. Until Hafiz wakes up, Rara wants to be here. Can ma be"

Arya nodded her head.

"Mama came home" then Bu Arya hugged Rara tightly.

On the way down the hospital alley, Asih's mbok holding Bu Arya's bag spoke.

"Is it okay for Hafiz to be left behind, ma'am?"

"I love that kid, mbok. It's nothing."

Hafiz still did not move. Rara always sat next to him. His head bowed in Hafiz's hand, holding Hafiz's.

Rara woke up from her daydream.

There's a touch.

Rara woke up from her seat.

"Bag.." Rara rubbed Hafiz's hair.

"R. Ra's. Ra."

"Yes, this is Rara"

Rara ran to call the guard who was at the door.

"Mas Hafiz is sober, sir."

Then he ran again towards Hafiz.

"Rully.."

Rara holds the hand of the man who always helps her.

"Rara here mas," Rara cried seeing the state of hafiz.

The doctor and a few nurses came, checked.

"good. We'll be back in 2 hours. Mas Hafiz can't move much first. I'll see the X-rays later"

Rara looked towards Hafiz again.

"What's up, doc?"

"There's a slight rift on his back. For a while do not let the Hafiz mas a lot of motion yes mbak. We give medicine, so that mas Hafiz rest first, the fever is because of the buttocks"

After the doctor and nurse came out, Rara came back to Hafiz.

His eyes were sleepy, and he fell asleep beside Hafiz who was still lying.

2 Hours later, the nurse came back into the room. Rara woke up from her sleep. They checked Hafiz again.

"thank you, sus" said Rara.

At dawn, Rara felt someone touch her cheeks. He awakens. He saw Hafiz opening his eyes.

"Mas..wake up?" rara's voice is heavy.

Hafiz smile.

Rara takes a bottle of mineral water and suction it, giving it to Hafiz.

"Alhamdulillah, I am awake,

rest, Rara pray first yes, do not move much" he said while stroking Hafiz's head.

Hafiz was grateful, when he opened his eyes, he saw Rara, he was worried, Rara would be harmed by the person who harmed her yesterday.

"Mas, what happened yesterday?"

"Father, it's just a man-to-man fight"

"Nobody funny. What's wrong?"

"Father. Rara's off, right? Don't go anywhere. Stay here."

"Yes mas, Rara has also said the same as her mother Mas Hafiz, if Rara will be here. Only later Rara will go home to change clothes and bring a little equipment."

Hafiz smile.

"I'm sorry Ra, Semalem didn't celebrate his birthday."

"All right, what's important is to be healthy first"

"When I've arranged a surprise event, it turns out..'

"Rara who dapet.. Not funny surprise. make a cry"

"Sorry, Ra."

Rara smiled. He wiped the sweat on Hafiz's forehead.

"Alhamdulillah, I don't have a fever anymore"

"Thank you, Ra" said Hafiz.

Rara tidied the room back up. He opened the curtains of hafiz treatment room. The foggy morning atmosphere. He remembers what happened yesterday, and he holds a necklace pendant given by Hafiz. But at last he was crying.

Had Hafiz not come to see him yesterday.
