“anda from Jakarta?, it's worth the police confusion to find your family here, then why you can get to Cilacap ini” asked the doctor trying to dig up information about Mr. Sarman.

“i have a need to go to Lamongan, when I want to return to Jakarta, I missed the bus here, that day I want to pray first in the mosque before continuing my journey, he said, but I even fainted after praying”, said Mr. Sarman with breath still tight, clear from his voice that occasionally lost when telling stories.

“then how do we contact your family?” ask the doctor, though,

“ada hp I doc, in my pants pocket”, replied Mr. Sarman again,

“but we found nothing when checking you, wallet, phone or anything else” said the doctor. Mr. Sarman looked at the doctor with a face of astonishment

“maybe someone took it when this father passed out doc, at that time a lot of people who swarmed him when he collapsed in the mosque” timpal young man suddenly.

“then how now?” the doctor asked confused.

“just ask for the address doc, let the police take care of it later” replied the young man was flat.

“ok, you are smart also rya” said the doctor who then asked for the address of Mr. Sarman who was still lying weak in front of him. Then the doctor left them to take care of the address that Mr. Sarman gave to the police.

“thank you son, you have accompanied me five days here” said Mr. Sarman to the young man who had kept him for almost five days in the hospital.

“sama-sama sir, I am happy to accompany you here, soon your family will pick you up and you can be treated in a better hospital than here”, the young man spoke in a gentle tone to the man,

“what's your name, nak?” asked the man, sometimes he seemed to have difficulty breathing even though he had been helped by breathing apparatus.

“Arya pak” said Arya while taking her carrier. Mr. Sarman's curiosity about the name of the young man who kept him 5 days was finally answered already.

“do you want to go?” ask Mr. Sarman to see Arya who is getting ready.

“anytime your family will come sir, I also have to prepare for tomorrow, I am unemployed, so now I have to think how tomorrow I can eat” Arya said with a smile.

“Please wait a minute, how much do you need, I will tell my family to give you money”, said Mr. Sarman in a voice that seemed to run out because his breathing was still tight.

“hahaha, I don't like my kindness measured by money sir, don't worry, I'm jobless prosperous koq,” Arya said casually to Mr. Sarman.

“I just want to repay your kindness nak” said Mr. Sarman to Arya,

“but I don't like it that way sir, don't worry about me if I don't eat tomorrow” joked Arya, he then leaves.

That was the first experience Mr. Sarman met with a man who wanted to be his grandson's companion. What makes Pak Sarman even more amazed by the character of Arya is, in addition to Arya who guarded him for 5 days in Cilacap, Arya also paid for his treatment while in Cilacap without wanting to receive a penny from him.

His heart was really touched by Arya's sincerity, although Arya's style seemed urgency but wanted to help her even though they did not know each other.

Mr. Sarman then turned his sleeping position by lying to the right, facing the window to see the blue sky. His mind drifted back to the events of a few months ago.

He had just bought some bulbs at an electronics store, when he was about to cross the road to his car, there was a motorbike that suddenly came rushing towards him. The motor that before he crossed he did not see, suddenly hit his body hard, he bounced, his gaze began to blur, and fresh blood poured from his head.

“hold sir, you will soon be helped” said the man. Mr. Sarman who began to lose consciousness then saw the man, He saw the face of Arya then fainted unconscious.

Mr. Sarman opened his eyes, he had come to his senses from the fainting he had found after the accident. He looked at a man half-sitting on the edge of the bed behind him. Mr. Sarman then touched the man's back. The man who was closing his eyes as if thinking about something was shocked by the touch of Mr. Sarman,

“you are aware sir, wait a minute, I will call the doctor first” said Arya in a slightly panicked voice.

Mr. Sarman took a deep breath seeing the man who helped him go away from the sisinga. ‘He again helped me’ his inner self.

Before long a doctor comes accompanied by Arya who walks behind him. The doctor then used a stethoscope to check Mr. Sarman's heartbeat.

“already back to normal, but he still needs treatment here” said the male doctor while correcting the position of his glasses.

“let him rest, enough rest will make him recover” said the doctor by lightly patting Arya's shoulder, then he let go.

“thank goodness you are better, my family has contacted my father, soon they will come” said Arya, he immediately took his cellphone which he put on a small cupboard beside Mr. Sarman.

Seeing Arya who was about to leave, Mr. Sarman began to ask, saying,

“do you want to go Arya?” asked Mr. Sarman, he still remembers well with Arya who had helped him also in Cilacap, he will never forget Arya because of the sense of indebtedness he felt.

For a moment Arya saw Mr. Sarman with a face of astonishment. ‘This father knows my name from where?’ insinuatingly

“Yes sir, I have to go, my carrier was I stayed where I ate earlier, I was afraid it would disappear,, father do not worry, I am afraid, soon the family will come” said Arya.

’What I've met this father before’ Inner Arya.

When the accident that befell Mr. Sarman occurred, Arya was eating on the side of the road, he just went to help Mr. Sarman and left his food that had not been exhausted with his carrier in the place to eat the roadside.

Mr. Sarman breathed a long breath “do not pay my hospital money again, leave your number, I want to see you again later” said Mr. Sarman.

Hearing the sentence of Mr. Sarman Arya more confused ‘do not pay again the hospital money, did I ever pay the hospital money for him too?’ arya again.

“bapak wait here briefly” said Arya, he then went outdoors. Arya then stops a nun's steps, asking for a piece of paper and borrowing the nun's pen. Arya then wrote down her mobile number there.

Not long Arya re-entered the room Mr. Sarman, he gave his mobile number that he had written. “ini sir, you can call me anytime, father, 24 Hours I'm on kok” said Arya with a smile on Mr. Sarman,

“hahaha, may I ask for something similar you” said Mr. Sarman with his face turned serious. Seeing the serious face of Sarman, Arya then tried to be relaxed, and,

“bapak want to ask what from me who is unemployed,“ said Arya with a soft tone, he smiled not want to be carried away by the serious atmosphere of Mr. Sarman.

“i will call you later, and you have to promise to fulfill my request that” said Mr. Sarman staring at Arya. Arya momentarily silent, she most dislikes if you have to promise others, because it will increase the burden to keep it. see the face of worry Arya Pak Sarman then talk again.

“what are you afraid to promise to an old man like me Arya” continued Mr. Sarman, ‘bapak this is nothing, just met already asked for a gini’ kayak Inner Arya.
