"Ehm .. I don't know. I left right out of there this morning." Rein gave in with his alibi.

"You're going to the temen house, what's your ride?" ask Aska again.

Rein thought for a moment. "Punches. My friend's house isn't far from there."

Aska nodded her head. He also believed in his wife's story. Rein was still overwhelmed by disturbing emotions. Rein thought hard, he should not be in this situation any longer.

...****************...

A week passed, the sound of knocking on the door rang out. Rein, who was still asleep in his sleep, felt that the sound was just a sleeping flower. His eyes remained tight, even he pulled back the blanket to cover his body the same until the neck. The morning wind slashed Rein's body.

"Sir Rein ... wake up, dong! Please make me breakfast! I want to go to school, brother." The cry for the umpteenth time came out of Abian's mouth. Rein's husband's niece had knocked on the door several times while calling out to Rein. Even so, Abian did not feel deterred to do so. He kept knocking on the door until it opened.

Chequek! Rein opened the door to his room.

"What's up, Bian? Early in the morning made a fuss. Are you not in school?" rein asked while whispering his eyes. The face of his pillow was so obvious from the narrowed eyes as if reluctant to open.

"I want to go to school, brother. But not breakfast yet. Can you make me breakfast?" asked Abian with a clear face.

"Are you not making breakfast? Tumben?"

Abian shakes. "Om Aska said he was sick. He can't make breakfast."

"Huh? Can the police get sick too?" Rein gasped at hearing that. It's like a cop is an angel who never gets sick.

"Police are human too, brother." Abian commented. Rein nodded, apparently his words were heard by the little boy.

"Where are you now?" ask Rein again.

"In his room. Her body was hot, when I woke her up. When Om wants to wake up, he says his head is dizzy," explained Abian.

"Nobody wants to see you."

"Beat breakfast first, brother! I'll be late for school" asked Abian as she pulled Rein's clothes, who was about to walk towards Aska's room.

"Ah, yes. Brother masakin you first, deh." Rein smiled, then gently rubbed Abian's head, "you wait at the dinner table!" her word. Abian nodded in agreement.

Fifteen minutes later, Rein had finished cooking his flagship fried rice. Living independently makes Rein skilled in the affairs of cooking food.

"Breakfast is on hand, brother. I will eat at school. I'm afraid I won't go to school, I'll miss my invitation." Rein's hand was about to pour Abian's breakfast into the plate, so it was stuck.

"OK," said Rein. He rushed to the kitchen to pick up a container for Abian, then filled it with fried rice.

A while waiting, Abian's pickup car arrived. Rein drove Abian to his front door. The woman stood up and waved her hand until the car disappeared from her eyes.

"Ah, yes. I haven't seen Mas Aska." Rein rushed into the house. She remembered her husband who was sick. Perhaps the man had also not eaten anything and taken medicine.

"Mas, I'm in, yeah!" Rein, who knew the door to Aska's room was not locked, immediately turned the handle, although a little hassle because while carrying a tray containing food and drinks for Aska.

Aska who felt dizzy in her head felt lazy to move. He even knew when Abian yelled a few times in front of Rein's room while building it. Actually want to wake up, but his body always invites to sleep.

Rein kept a tray filled with food on the nightstand, then sat on the edge of the bed on the right side of Aska. His hand lightly touched Aska's forehead.

"It's hot, Mas. We're going to the hospital, yeah!" invite Rein who is worried about Aska's situation.

"No need, it's just a normal fever" Aska refused in a hoarse voice.

"But it's so hot, you know, it's. Did you take medicine?"

Aska shook her head after forcing herself to sit leaning on the headboard. A few seconds later he pulled the blanket over his neck, when he felt a cold chill strike his body which he said was hot.

"Yes, now eat breakfast. That Abis took medicine, yeah!" Rein took out a plate containing food, then so attentively thrust a spoonful of fried rice into front of Aska's mouth.

Aska was momentarily stunned to see Rein's attention like that. For the first time there was a woman who gave attention when she was sick. Of course, other than her own mother.

"Come, open his mouth, Mum! You should eat before taking the medicine."

The rebuke made Aska flinch. His mind that had thought out of nowhere, returned to reality. He opened his mouth slowly, his eyes fixed on Rein.

"Nake?" Rein asked after Aska swallowed her food with great difficulty. In a state of pain, a person's tongue will not feel the pleasure of the food he eats.

"Bitter," answered Aska honestly. It was not the bitter taste of his cooking, but his tongue that felt so.

Rein scrunched his forehead. Then feed a spoon of fried rice into his own mouth. "Not bitter, really," he said later.

"My tongue is bitter. I want to have a drink," cried Aska as she glanced at the glass on the table.

Rein was 'oh' without a sound. Then take a glass of clear liquid for Aska, along with the medicine. "Take the medicine too!" her word.

Aska said she took the medicine.

"Now sleep again, Mom. You're not allowed to go to work?" Rein helped Aska to lie down again. Their distance is very close. Even Aska is able to breathe the scent of Rein's body that is still fragrant even though he has not taken a bath. Aska could feel if her heart was beating so fast.

"Updid." Aska answered a little nervously. His face looks red. Whether it was from the heat from his body, or the heat from his blood that churned violently when Rein touched it. However, Rein thought Aska's red face was due to her fever.

"Rein."

The call from Aska made Rein who had reached the door so restrained and turned around again. "What else do you need, Mom?" tanyakanya.

"You know, when someone is sick, God will send four angels to visit him. First, the angel who was commanded to take the strength of his servant so that the strong one became weak. Second, to take the delicious taste of food from the mouth of His servant, so that any food will taste bitter. Thirdly, to take the light on his face so that the face of the sick man turns deathly pale, and lastly, he is commanded to uproot all his sins, so that he is in a holy condition of sin. But I think, I God sent five angels for me now."

Rein was stunned to hear Aska's words. But he was curious about the duties of the fifth angel Aska mentioned. "What's the fifth job, Mom?" tanyanya.

Aska reviews the smile. "The angel was in charge of taking care of me like you just did."

The blouse!

Suddenly it was like a fresh breeze was hitting Rein's face. However, Rein soon realized that it was just a rumble. "Again pain can still be dreadful too, Mas," Rein said with a laugh.
