"I'm leaving for aunty" Alexander said after finishing his breakfast.
"Yes son" replied Jova's mother.
"The doctor will examine you in a moment" Alexander told Jova.
""Yes" replied Jova quietly.
Alexander came out of Jova's ward.

"Mom, is it true every night Alexander's here?" ask Jova slowly.
"Iya Jova, at first the mother was disappointed and held back resentment at Alexander for already making the daughter of her only mother in a coma. But long - long mother felt she sincerely took care of you. He was also the one who chose this VVIP ward and bore all the expenses during your treatment" explained the mother.
Jova only heard everything her mother told her.
"Are you angry at Alexander for this incident, Jova?"
"No mom, I was the one who was wrong" Jova replied, turning her eyes away.
"What do you mean Jova?" ask mom wonder.
"I'm the one who made Alexander angry at the end" said Jova softly.
"Mother still doesn't understand" Jova's mother looked puzzled.
Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok
Mom walks open the door when she hears the door on tap.
"Good afternoon aunt" said Indira.
"The one, Bayu. Comein"
"Jovaa!" Indira approaches Jova's bed and hugs her for a while. "You're finally waking up Jova!"
Jova just smiled and returned Indira's embrace.
"Is anyone still sick Jov?" ask Bayu.
"No Bay, I just want to go home soon" replied Jova.
"Good" Bayu approached Jova's bed. "I'm sorry Jov, this is beyond my predictions"
"Don't talk about it. I thank you Bay" Jova smiled sincerely.
What exactly did their conversation mean?. Jova's mother said in her heart.
Alexander entered without knocking on the door. Bayu immediately threw his gaze in the other direction after knowing Alexander who entered.
Alexander immediately sat down on the sofa, and only nodded at Jova's mother who was also sitting on the sofa.
Soon after, Jova's father arrives with Tristan. Jova's father looked happy.
"Jova, you finally realized son" said Jova's father rubbed the top of Jova's head.
"Yes dad"
"Sister, almost a month my ears are quiet without your chatty mouth!" it was Goda Tristan who stood by Jova's bedside.
"You are!" annoyed Jova hits Tristan's arm.
Tristan, father, mother and Indira smiled with Tristan caterpillars.
Alexander walked out of Jova's ward, intending to stay away temporarily. Because he doesn't like to hang out with a lot of people.
"Sir Alex!" call someone sniffing from behind.
Alexander turned his head, and stared silently at someone who was walking towards him.
"I'll let Jova be with you and I won't interfere with your relationship. But remember! if you make Jova cry or grieve in front of me, then my own hands will take you out!" said Bayu growled.
Alexander only raised a slight corner of his lips with a shady look. Without saying a word. And Bayu immediately left Alexander without saying goodbye.
The lady walked towards the hospital toilet. He went in and made sure all the toilets were empty. He hit the toilet wall conveying his anger. He recalled a conversation two weeks ago with Jova and Indira in the campus cafeteria.
Flashback On . . .
"I'll pretend to be chasing you. And you pretend to open the door of your heart for me. And we show our togetherness in front of him. We will know what the response will be like" said Bayu explained the intent of the play designed by Bayu.
"Are you sure it'll work?" ask Indira.
"At least we will know his feelings through the gestures of his body" explained Bayu.
"meaning?" ask Jova.
"Hemmh" Bayu let out a rough breath. "Bas on a virgin!" Bayu pinched Jova's forehead.
"Aawhhh!" pekik Jova held her forehead.
"Oh, so" said Jova and Indira simultaneously.
"What if he turns out to be a bitch? Sia - vain dong our charade?" jova.
"If he is indifferent, yes we have continued seriously just do not need theatrics. Rather than in vain" said Bayu with his ignorant smile.
A toyoran landed seamlessly on his head that came from Indira.
"Just dream up!" indira sewot.
"Hehehe joked" said Bayu scratching the back of his head that did not itch. I never joked about liking you Jova. Say something in the heart.
"Then when do we begin to carry out our actions?" ask Jova.
"You were in between, right?" ask Bayu.
"Yes!"
"Later you'll come home with me. We stopped by the Indira cafe long enough. Let's see if he's waiting for you or not!"
"After, he'll pick me up at the office"
"Before he comes, I'll come first and park my car in front of that office building. And you ndi, you have to stay a little far from Jova's office, keep a close eye on her until you see Alex's car passing by. So my distance and the lecturer's distance won't be far. Let him see if we go together" Bayu told Indira.
"Foolah. Hope your plan works" Indira said.
"The plan of a Bayu Devries will not fail!" said Bayu confidently raised his eyebrows several times.
"Tch!!" jova and Indira together.
I'll do whatever you want as long as you're happy Jov. Inner Bay.
Flashback . . .
"Now I know Jova's answer. You like each other. It's just that you guys are still the same - just as embarrassed to admit" muttered Bayu sadly. "I've known you for years Jova. And you've known him for not a year. But why are you in love with her!" say Bayu punched the wall again.

The clock showed at 8pm, Alexander returned to the hospital. There are still fathers, mothers and Tristan inside the inpatient room.
"Om and aunt go home. Let me take care of Jova" Alexander said.
"Are you okay, what, keeping Jova so far? you also have to pay attention to your health" said the father.
"Om not to worry" Alexander said casually.
"Well then we go home first. Thank you for keeping Jova for us!" say father again.
Alexander just nodded. Everyone's out, leaving Jova and Alexander. A moment of awkwardness was created between them.
"Usually you talk a lot, why are you so quiet now?" alexander glanced at Jova. "What two weeks of coma makes you forget how to nag" Alexander tried to break the silence.
"Heemm. I don't think I've seen you for two weeks, you're sane. You're still crazy!" jova's grouse rolled both of her eyes lazily.
Alexander smiled slightly at Jova's behavior. Then walk closer to Jova.
"I'm sorry, because of my carelessness, you're like this"
"Don't think about it, I was wrong" Jova said. I was also wrong to make a play just to know how you feel. Now I know how you feel. I'll focus on chasing you. I know you won't express your feelings. But I'll make you confess your feelings. Jova said inwardly withholding her smile.
"After you get out of this hospital, I will take you to Singapore" Alexander said casually.
"What to Singapore for?" jova was confused.
"Removing your scars!" alexander Cuek said, sitting on the sofa.
"Despite to go to Singapore?"
"Don't ask too many questions" Alexander said, laying his body on the sofa. And then closed his eyes.
Jova looked at Alexander who closed his eyes, closing his eyes. Until he really fell asleep.
Alexander woke up again, making sure Jova really - really sleep soundly. Then he really slept on the couch.
May the good dreams of Jova and Alexander.
And the reader is not just a beautiful dream. But our lives are also really beautiful. Aamiins.
Thank you, man, thank you,
Hail Lovallena.
