Tonight Gendis was sitting next to Bima's bed. He just fed Bima. A slightly diluted porridge mixed with asparagus. It was also just a few spoons of Bima eat. Because he could not eat heavy food.
The princess had rested in her room. Maybe he was exhausted, so Gendis accompanied Bima tonight.
Bima looked at Gendis who was reaching for her medicine, this girl's face also looked tired. And that makes Bima really feel guilty. Did Gendis never rest at home for a week when she was unconscious???
"Drink it" said Gendis while handing over medicine and also a glass of water to Bima. Bima drank it quickly and handed the glass back to Gendis.
"Why don't you go home and rest?" ask Bima.
Gendis shook her head slowly.
"Pity eyang, no one accompanies" replied Gendis.
"Did you not come home this week?" ask Bima again.
"Rome home, sometimes alternating with mbak Naina who accompanies eyang. It's just that tonight Naina's brother's son is sick, so he can't spend the night here" replied Gendis.
"Sick guy?" bima Mumbam
Gendis.
"She was fine this morning, but she didn't know why she had a fever. Maybe it's a hospital virus. His body couldn't stand it" replied Gendis.
Bima just nodded and looked back at Gendis.
"Bim.." call Gendis
"Why?" bima asked with her smile.
"When you came to your senses, Miss Nara whispered something to you, did you hear her?" ask Gendis.
Bima was silent for a moment, but then she nodded and smiled faintly.
"Have you realized that time?" ask Gendis
"I've heard all your words. Only, my eyes still feel heavy to open" replied Bima.
Stunned fat
"Why do you want to know what Nara whispered to me?" ask Bima
"I'm curious, because as soon as he whispers something to you, you instantly wake up" replied Gendis with her visibly annoyed face.
Bima smiled anxiously looking at Gendis's face like that.
"Are you jealous?" bima Goda
Gendis immediately snorted in annoyance.
"No. I'm just curious" said Gendis.
Bima chuckled little looking at Gendis.
"Don't laugh. Your stomach hurts again later" said Gendis with so ketus.
"Your face is funny if you are upset so" replied Bima
"Hurry up tell me. I don't want to harbor this curiosity Bim" said Gendis again.
"It's nothing" replied Bima
"You want to cover her from me?" tuding Gendis's. But Bima immediately shook his head.
"You're not serious about marrying me, are you" Gendis said. And somehow his eyes are watering now.
Bima smiled and grabbed Gendis' hand, but Gendis brushed it aside and turned her face away from Bima.
"Why so sensitive hmm?" ask Bima softly.
But Gendis remained silent. He was upset and really upset, maybe this is what Reynand felt all along. He must have felt bad if he saw the closeness of Nara and Bima. And now, Gendis is feeling it. Moreover, he had once been betrayed by the person he trusted the most, how could his heart not be agitated.
"Gendis.." call Bima when Gendis is just silent.
But Gendis remained silent.
Bima sighed for a moment and looked at the annoyed face of Gendis who was like to cry.
Bima moved slowly while slightly grimacing while doing the movement, because of his pain. And that made Gendis immediately turn to Bima.
Bima smiled and grabbed Gendis' hand back.
"How can I be silent if you are like that" replied Bima.
Gendis turned her face away and let her hands be grasped by Bima.
"You know if I've ever been betrayed. The pain is still there and so painful. It's not easy for me to start a new relationship again. But with you, I somehow quickly said the word 'yes'. And if you're just playing me, then do I still have the right to hope that there's still a serious man on me?" said Gendis, with tears that increasingly want to pool out.
Bima smiled and increasingly tightened her hand grip.
"I know what heartbreak feels like. So I can't play with your heart Gendis" said Bima.
Gendis bowed, wiping away the tears that began to drip back. For some reason with Bima she really became a very crybaby girl.
"You want to know what Nara told me?" ask Bima
Gendis looked back at Bima closely.
"He said, if there is a withered rose that needs a place to grow. And if the place does not exist, then he can wither and die" said Bima
Gendis frowned at the words of Bima.
What does that mean?
"You.." said Bima, while looking at Gendis with a deep gaze.
"Me?" gulmam Gendis
Bima nodded and smiled.
"Yes, you roses are Gendis. Roses that look beautiful and strong from the outside, but are so fragile if they do not get a good place. And that place is me. It was the word Nara whispered to me." said Bima
Gendis was stunned again.
"You need me to grow and heal your withered heart, and I need you to decorate my empty heart. Are we not meant to be together?" bima asked with her knotty smile.
Gendis instantly turned her reddened face away. Makes Bima smile more.
"Don't think bad about me and Nara anymore. I did want him for my life, but that was when he didn't have Reynand. I did admire her and fell for her, but I realized she wasn't for me. And now, I've rediscovered what should be mine" Bima's expression made Gendis unable to say what.
"Gendis... unknowingly, our togetherness has made us equally forget our sadness, right?" bima
Gendis looked at Bima with a strange feeling.
"I don't know how to express it, but really, you were so quick to snatch my heart from everything I've ever given to anyone else" Bima said
"I've fallen for you, Gendis. And maybe, this is love." said Bima lgi.
Gendis immediately snorted a smile and turned her face away. And somehow his face seemed to heat up hearing the expression of Bima's heart.
"Don't be angry anymore, you're my reason for staying alive other than eyeang. There is nothing else" Bima said
Gendis nodded slowly, with her hand returning Bima's hand.
"Then don't upset me anymore" said Gendis.
Bima smiled and nodded.
"Let's smile first" Bima's pinta
"No" replied Gendis.
"Come on, your smile makes this pain less Fatty" asked Bima with her pinched face, and it made Gendis unable to bear to not smile.
"Beautiful" praise Bima.
"You are indeed a reliable seducer" said Gendis who turned back her face that was increasingly blushing.
Bima smiled looking at Gendis. The beautiful girl who had managed to snatch all her attention from Anara. The beautiful girl who every day she always heard her voice while she was in her subconscious. Yes, the beautiful girl Bima will fight for happiness together.
