Jum Wo Ai Ni
Chapter 32
The smell of eucalyptus oil tickled Arumi's sense of smell, slowly opening her eyelids. The little lips of the girl hissed while holding the head that felt heavy.
"You're conscious, thank God" said Max with trembling lips, holding Arumi's hand.
Max was really worried about Arumi's state, his heart was shaking violently watching the girl droop over the gurney. Max comes at super speed when the hospital tells him about Mirna, Max is very worried about Arumi's condition, especially when the hospital says that Arumi is unconscious.
"I why, Brother? Sssh." Arumi was about to get up, but Max held her back.
"Lay down, you still need a break. Do you want something to drink? Are you hungry? Does your head hurt?" Read Max with an anxious look.
Arumi shook her head slowly, a second later her pupils widened. "Grandmother where's Brother? I want to see Grandma?!"
A glimpse of a shadow had just flashed through her memory, where doctors said Mirna was no longer alive.
"Calm Rum, you calm down."
"Nek Mar where's Brother? Arum wants to see Grandma!" Arumi began to raise her voice, hysterical.
Max said nothing more, he immediately clutched Arumi who had sat down. Arumi shouted loudly in Max's arms, her tears spilling over as the pain of loss.
Bayu stood pecking on the doorstep, seeing how fragile Arumi was at the moment. They have lost their father and their mother also prefers a new husband over her child. Now that God has also called Mirna, where else will they go? There's no place for them to go home.
With a step Gontai Bayu walked closer.
"Bak," he called her soft.
Arumi who was still crying as she turned her head, looked at Bayu who had a puffy face standing next to Max. The handsome man let go of his embrace and shifted slightly, giving Bayu a place to get closer to Arumi.
The two brothers hugged each other, bracing for each other in wordless tears. Max's heart ached to see Arumi who was so fragile as this moment, he promised in his heart. He will look after Arumi, will not let those clear eyes shed tears again.
"I only have you now Bay" Arumi said between tears. Bayu nodded wordlessly, but his movements represented his entire heart.

"Excuse me, the body has been washed and can be brought home now" a nurse reported.
"Good Sister," said Max.
After Bayu and Arumi calmed down, they went home in a hearse. At the house Mirna was crowded neighbors who came, Max told Bayu to tell Pak RT about the death of Mirna, Bayu also gave news to Nurma. But Bayu did not know if his mother was already in the country.
"You are strong, yes" said Juminten, hugging Arumi and Bayu in turn. " Never feel alone, assume you are your family."
Juminten gently rubbed Bayu's cheeks wet with tears, Arumi nodded slowly. He felt so lucky, in the midst of the trials of a life so cruel came and torn him. Arumi was met with such good people.
Juminten, Michi even Dylan was present there, Arumi felt he had a new family. It was very late during the funeral procession, fortunately the grave diggers wanted to do their work. Moreover, the heavy rain that had flushed the ground became sticky when dug, Max also gave more wages as a sign of gratitude.
Dylan and Jun return home, while Max and Michi decide to stay the night. Many neighbors, especially men who stay up late in the house of Almarhumah. They could not bear to leave Arumi and Bayu alone.
"You're patient, if you need anything you're used to going to my house. Don't hesitate," said Mr. RT.
Hakiki who served as the chairman of RT, pat Bayu slowly on the shoulder, there is actually something that this is actually asked. But he felt the time was not right.
Leaning on the worn-out bed Michi gently rubbed Arumi's hair. The girl fell asleep in Michi's lap after weeping, her body soul tired and fragile. Michi herself could not imagine what if she lost someone she loved as much as Arumi, Oma and Grandma died when Michi was a child. So he doesn't remember that moment.
Arumi's phone turned on, a notification from the novel app appeared on her screen. The title of the novel he often read has been updated, Michi was quick to open the new chapter.
A story that tells of a pent-up love, hindered by the parental blessing of the male protagonist, but the female protagonist is so persistent as to maintain their love, albeit heavy.
[ 'Good night Princess.']
Michi frowned, while reading the message.
[Pfft, know where I'm a princess. What if I had a trunk like yours.' ]
['Geez, it's so vulgar of you. Where do you know I have a trunk, how about I'm a slab of earth.']
Michi shuts her mouth, holding back her laughter, not wanting to disturb Arumi's sleep.
[ 'Just a hunch.']
[ 'Then I'm the same, my gut feeling is that you're a pretty, cheerful, kind and a little perverted girl.' ]
[sok tau, sleep there already malem. Don't rival the codot.' ]
[ 'I'm still writing to make a new novel.' ]
[Huh, Maruk is very. One is not finished yet to make again, finish first that just make again.' ]
[' Hehehehe ... Yes, intentionally. Let's spit up your thorny roses.' ]
[ 'Tie the cat!' ]
[Lha, you don't have a boyfriend, do you? No one is angry, right?' ]
[ 'Au ah, by the way sono wall.' ]
Michi closes their chat, her face heating up while reading a short message from the person she knows as the author named the blue knungan. They have long known in the world of marketing as readers and writers. Without exchanging personal numbers, they only connect through chat in the novel application with the blue logo.
The narrow-eyed girl they were comfortable chatting with the blue knit, they did not know each other's background. Just know you're a woman and I'm a man. They just use their respective premonitions.

Days change, weeks roll, Arumi lives with Max in the mansion. While Bayu chose a hyacinth in the pesantren owned by Dimas. They no longer have a place to live. Mirna's house was sold by Nurma, and they had no idea where the woman and her dilapidated husband were hiding.
