Love Because ...

A GLIMMER OF MEMORY

Rara fell asleep and dhuhur woke her. He tidied the pasmina in his head and went out of the room to check the situation, he saw the door of the room whose hinges were still broken.

“Udah wake up Ra?” Rio brought the vegetable centong to check on Rara.

“Eat first yuk, you want to eat in the room or at the dining table?” hail Rio with his trademark smile.

“Feeding table!” answer Rara jutek. “That's the real door not so?”

“Owh abah again out buy door hinges first he said, because that one can not be used.”

“Yes it was broken,” Rara said making Rio laugh.

“Once again I'm sorry, we're yuk's dinner shirt, I've prepared chicken soup for you!”

Rara followed Rio walking to the dining room. Offer foods such as rice, vegetable stew and chicken broth soup, and scraps of onions on the dining table.

“This I cooked the rice is soft so it is easy to digest with you, this is no broth soup. If I get sick, I like to make chicken soup, eat soup and the rice is separated. So a spoonful of rice in dipupin to the soup in the onion sprinkles. Wow it must be anget in the body.”

Rara did not focus on Rio chirping, she continued to pay attention to her food. A glimmer of his memory returned accompanied by a faint headache. He remembered his soup, his imagination began to play when he served someone serving soup and his tiny hands deftly sprinkled onions into the soup. Rara smiled at the person, then her memory stopped. Rara tried to remember back but there was a headache that was felt more and more.

‘Astagfirullah’ muttered as his left hand held the chair holding his body. Trying to stand up. Rio who saw Rara's behavior immediately felt worried.

“Ra, you why?” rio asked worriedly. Rara shook her head hinting alright. He kept staring at the soup. Rara let her memories flow along with the growing pain, she tried hard to repeat her memories again.

“Ra we eat in yu room?” rio approached her.

Www!

Rara whimpers in pain. He fell to the floor squeezing his head with both hands. Now that he could not remember anything, there was only tremendous pain left. Rio immediately ran over to him.

“Ra why?” rio asked in panic.

“Sa-kit a Auww!”

“We're into the room!”

Rara shook her head disapprovingly, but Rio did not pierce directly into the room. Rara is still in pain on the bed. Rio held onto Rara's head, his mouth began to commute praying for Rara's recovery.

“Bismilah, bismilah, As Alullohal Adzim Robbul ‘Arrsyil Adzim Ayyasy Fiyaki, As Alullohal Adzim Robbul ‘Arrsyil Adzim Ayyasy Fiyaki...” Rio's prayers.

💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

A while later Rara had already started to quietly lie on Rio's lap. Rio's mouth was unceasingly still praying. Then Rara woke up from Rio's lap feeling uneasy with her. At the base of his eyes there was still a drop of tears left by the pain earlier. Rio was about to wipe, but Rara dodged. Rara wiped her tears with her tiny hands.

“Udah better?” rio asked, Rara nodded slowly.

“You ate in your room?” Rara nodded the second time. Rio was about to bribe her, but Rara refused. Then Rio exited the room and returned with a full glass of water.

“Let's eat you take the medicine yes!” she made Rara nod slowly.

“A please come out I want to eat,” said Rara who needs privacy.

“ Sure?” rio asked worriedly.

“Iya a, I want to be alone first.”

“Ya already, don't lock ya?” Rara nodded. Rio instantly obeyed her, exiting the room waiting for her behind the door. Alert, fearfully Rara needs something. Calling her.

💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

Rara tidied up the food marks put the plates and glasses on the tray. After taking the medicine he began to be able to move as before. When he opened the door, he saw Rio standby in front of the room.

“Where are you going, this let me do it?” Rio was about to take the tray that Rara was holding.

“Ga need a, I can do it myself.” He said he drove the kitchen. Rio quickly followed his steps getting ready like he was afraid of Rara falling again. Similar exactly as Tia did when Rara first had a headache.

“Aa no need to follow!”

“But I'm worried about Rara,” Rio said making Rara take a deep breath.

“Aa have you eaten?”

“But.”

“Aa eat first, we finish it we worship.”

Rio smiled hearing Rara's words.

“Good.” Girang.

Rara took ablution preparing two prayer mats in her room. He was getting used to being in Rio. After Rio ate, he immediately took ablution and headed for the next room. Diliatnya Rara was ready to wear his face, and they also Salat dhuhur congregated.

“Wa’alaikumussalam warohmatullahiwabarokatu.” replied Rio and Rara compact who was thinking after prayers.

“That's most Abah Aji Ra, you're here!” Rio's out of the room.

“Bah?” greet Rio warm.

“Eh ujang, this is sorry long hard to find similar items.” said Abah Aji wearing Abri jacket and black cotton trousers. Her hair was decorated with gray hair, she was always smiling when talking.

“Iya no papa abah, abah atos pour(already eaten)?”

“Owh atos oruh was on the road.” They approached the broken main room door. Rara peeked out from the next room, and she caught him.

“Eh enem?” Rara smiled at him about to approach him.

“Eh has already taken care.” Stretching out her right hand stopped Rara's steps, hinting for Rara to stop.

“Don't come here eneng ‘kan again sick, have not been here!” he added.

“Iya Ra you in the room aja.” added Rio.

“Punteun abah,” said Rara smiling deeply into her room.

“What else do you need?” tawar Rio's.

“Obeng is there, hammer is there, small saw is also there, it is enough,” said the brother with his little laugh.

Abah Aji was a fifty-year-old man, friendly and humorous. He works as a driver in Rio's house, Rio who is always polite never be rude to abah, and always treat abah like family.

“Abah Aji, he's my father's driver.”

“Owh, where is home?” ask Rara start kepo.

“Whose house? I am ato mr?”

“Acts?” rara asked a little surprised to know Rio was no longer home with his parents.

“Iya, want to go home?” he laughed amusedly.

What's?! nyesel Rara.

“No, it doesn't matter!” rara was upset. Rio smiled amusedly as if successfully pranking Rara.

“My house deket Rara, in the vehicle A number twelve,” he continued, making Rara frown in wonder.

“A driver number twelve here?” tanyanya.

“Iya This Kendari.” Rio nodded quickly smiling.

“That mah is not in the same direction anymore but neighbors, Tia beach often nebeng.” Rio smiled hearing Rara's chattering.

💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

Bada Ashar they returned to congregate in the main room. Rara has moved back to her room.

DRRT DRRT Rara device voice sounds, in view of the screen bu Sriyantika video call.

“A can go out first I want to pick up the phone.” Rio nodded quickly he cleared his alphabet, then exited the room.

“Hallo, Assalamualaikum Warohmatullahiwabarokatu nduk, how are you doing? dear aunt worried loh, she said that your headache relapsed?” he said at length stormed Rara with questions.

“Wa’alaikumussalam warohmatullahiwabarokatu, yes aunt but now it's better, aunt know where?”

“Ya from the person who lives with you is dear, tomorrow aunty to Bandung see that packingan aunty is done. Tomorrow just leave deh.” Ms. Sriyantika showed her two suitcases that were ready.

“Means from Rio?” Rara was shocked by the chattering of Sriyantika's mother who thought Sriyantika's mother knew and agreed that she was both in Rio's guarded house.

“Rio who's Rio? yes Tia lah nduk you how the hell nduk, who is Rio?”

“People who take care of Rara during Rara's illness aunt.”

“Means?” ask Sriyantika's mom who hasn't caught Rara's conversation.

“Iya make Rara sick aunt has checked with the doctor anyway, must rest at home three days. Well Tia's work can't take care of Rara, so Rara's taken care of Rio. Auntie please tell Tia to tell Rio to come home. Rara nagged hundreds of times not in the same horror Tia, Rara's time alone in the same house she. Yes, even though he only takes care of Rara but can't it be aunty?” Rara whines spoiled at Sriyantika's mom.

“Rio is female or male?” tanya ma'am Sriyantika plain, berhusnuzon. Today, many women use the name of the man they think.

“Ya whose name is Rio male is aunt.”

“ASTAGFIRULLOH HALADZIM.” Sriyantika's loud voice surprised Rara. she had never heard Sriyantika's mother scream so loud. Angrier.

“That's you serious?”

“Yes serious aunt, Rara time boong.”

“Try to see where it is?”

“Bentar.”

Rara turns the front camera into a rear camera and then slowly opens the room door, so as not to cause sound. His phone was highlighted to Rio who was busy cleaning the dining table.

“ASTAGFIRULLOH RARA QUICK GET INTO ROOM!” The loud voice of Sriyantika came out from her phone, Rara quickly closed the door of the room.

“Rara now you're out of the room, drive her out of the house!” said Sriyantika mad.

“Susah aunty, Rara has been kicked out. He's so stubborn. Rara also called the police instead.”

“Terus?”

“Ya even Rara who was scolded by her police sir, her aunt pokonya this way out, aunt talking with Tia told Rio to go home,” whine Rara again.

“You are calm nduk, you lock your room, aunt to Bandung tonight too! Now auntie calls Tia, auntie gets angry with the kid. Really outrageous him, wassalamualikum.”

“Wa’alaikumussa-lam.”

Rara smiled gleefully hearing Sriyantika ma'am angry, Rio could finally be expelled as well, she thought.

“Ra, Rara?” Rio knocked on the room door.

“Bent!”

Rara opened the door of her room in her eyes Rio carrying a tray filled with date snacks and a glass of honey water. Got the date from where she is, Rara thought.

“Nyemil first yes, let you get well. Dates are good for your health.” bargain.

“Makasih.” he said smilingly taking his tray. Rio was happy to see Rara's smile. Rara's heart was sparkling, because she could not wait for the arrival of Sriyantika to expel Rio.

“You if you want my photos do not need to be stealthy,” said Rio suddenly.

“Where?” ask Rara wonder.

“So you took my photo, right? should if you want my photo, say only later I love a lot!” he smiled at Pd. Apparently Rio realized when Rara was highlighting him earlier.

‘Astagfirulloh Gr really nih child, who wants also photos of him.’ murmured annoyed in the heart.

Rara was inexhaustible, why Rio could have a high level of intelligence. Although Rio is handsome, but that is excessive according to him. What this is called the term, high-level PD only applies to handsome people. Akh was dizzy in his mind.

“A can come out I want to eat first?”

“Good,” replied Rio.

As long as Rio was taking care of Rara they rarely talked. Rio entered Rara's room only to send food, congregational prayers or recite prayers for Rara. Rara's stern demeanor did not give Rio a chance to chat a lot with her.

Rara was really impatient to see Sriyantika's mom nagging Rio and Tia. Actually, she could not bear to see Tia being scolded by her mother, but Rara realized what Tia did was wrong. So want to not want Rara complained this to Miss Sriyantika.
