In one of the area hospitals, a teenage boy was sleeping in a sitting position. The mother's nursery was a lower-class room, so there were only uncomfortable seats to sit on available at each bankar that were only limited by curtains . However, the man can fall asleep without thinking about comfort because his body is very tired and sleepy.
The mother is still unconscious after surgery. It is not a big operation, but for the cost is certainly not cheap. The young man opened his eyes as he felt a gentle rubbing on his head. Her eyes instantly opened perfectly when she saw the faint smile on her pale lips.
"Mom is conscious? Is anyone sick? Want to call a doctor?" asked the man consecutively with a smile rising on his lips.
"Neither to Lang. No one was sick, either" replied the middle-aged woman, still weak. The teenager breathed a sigh of relief.
Can you guess who that guy is?
He is the Sky. Yes, Sky. One of Zidan's best friends who disappeared a few days ago. Yang Dyu said he was married to a one-child widow. Sky has not left school for several days because they have to go home to accompany and find costs for the operation of the mother.
Every way he did to find money to finance the operation his mother had. No matter the school, her best friend, or whatever it was that her mother survived.
"Mom can she?" said the mother of Heaven with a soft tone. The sky only nodded while arranging the bed so that his mother could sit leaning back.
"Where'd you get the money for Mom's operation?" The sky was silent for a moment before smiling faintly. He had prepared the answer to that question.
"Borrow to the cement, ma'am."
"Later if mother has healed the mother will repay her debt. How many Lang?" The mother asked with an unpleasant facial expression, because it was troublesome for others.
"No, ma'am, that's just Sky business. I'm well rested, take care of my health, and don't worry the heavens anymore." The eyes of the sky stared at his mother's shady bead, assuring that he could change the money.
"But Lang.. ."
"Engga but Tapian Bu, the sky does not want to be horrified again mother is sick, the money problem let it be the business of the Sky" said Sky grasping the fingers of the woman he loved so much.
Ibu Langit never wanted to be invited by Sky to the city, with the reason not to leave his hometown. So, Sky can only visit his mother during semester breaks or weekends because it is not too far away. It only takes about three hours drive from the city. That distance makes Sky can not keep an eye on his mother every time, until his mother had an accident while selling vegetables around.

Fading paint, very limited space, and hot, stuffy air are the first images of Zia entering her new home. A small contract in the middle of a densely populated settlement became the new residence of a pair of young couples.
"Sorry, this is all I can pay for. If you like it later I try to find more comfortable." Zidan observed Zia who was silent in the living room when she had just entered the contract. Zia's attitude makes Zidan speculate that Zia does not like this house.
Zidan's words spread out Zia's daydream, Zia turned to Zidan who was standing behind her then shook her head with a small smile. Won't say like it or not, he's more appreciative of Zidan's efforts.
The steps that had stalled are now back to explore the simple house that will be his residence now. Entering the kitchen he found only one stove stove that was worn out, and several appliances that looked unkempt. The steps turn towards the WC next to the kitchen, there is only a squat closet and a large bucket of water. The steps continue to go to the dining room that doubles the family room because there is a television in front of the table and the chair, the backyard where to dry clothes and the last room there is only one room. Upon entering the room he found Zidan who was cleaning the contents of his suitcase and Zia's suitcase in a wooden cabinet that was beside the bed. After finishing putting in Zidan's clothes, he turned his head and found Zia who had been observing his activities.
"You have the right, I'm the left." Zia just nodded
"You don't want to sleep in one bed, I can sleep outside" said Zidan who was opening a suitcase containing school equipment he and Zia.
"Cook. Zia did not know how to sleep with Zidan, it was said that Keyna could already sleep together if married." Zia shook her head as she approached Zidan and helped organize the books on the available table.
Zidan nodded his head a little happily, at least he would not sleep in the living room chair or the living room that was only made of wood.
After that, the two teenagers were busy helping each other clean every corner and room of the house even though the situation was still the same awkward.
Zidan and Zia stared satisfied with the results of their cooperation, the house that had been dirty and disorganized now looks more clean and tidy, and neat, also some cooking utensils and furniture from Bunda Dian and Mama Salma yamg already arranged in place.
Zia was laying on her bed while playing on her phone, while Zidan was in the backyard doing nothing, she said she just wanted to look around.
"The back page is quite spacious Zi, if you have time and you want, you can plant some vegetables so you can save on expenses later" said Zidan when entering the room.
Zia turned her gaze from the mobile phone to the figure of Zidan sitting on the chair that was in front of the study table. "Zia can't do rich gardening" replied Zia.
Zia nodded then smiled, it seemed like gardening was not a difficult thing and it sounded fun to do when she was bored at home.
"Come on!" take Zia excitedly. He stood up and put his phone on a pillow.
"Where?"
"She learned to garden" Zia replied enthusiastically.
"Neither now Zia, I have not bought polybags, fertilizer, same vegetable seeds." Hearing that Zia immediately sat down lethargic with a sullen face.
"Yeah.. "
Zidan chuckles at Zia's change from being very enthusiastic to being lethargic just for not learning to garden. "Tomorrow, now I go first. Looking for a job. "
"Udah wants Zidan's mall," said Zia looking at the clock from her phone.
"Why. I'm leaving now, doain so that he can get his job done," Zidan said as he prepared to leave.
Zia nodded and continued to watch Zidan from the guy wearing a jacket, until he came out of the room. It turns out that Zidan is not as cute as he thought, and it turns out if he continues to notice Zidan is handsome.
Yes yes, it is handsome, all Atlansa children are also flat handsome, only Zia who never noticed.
Zia shook her head, then chose to lay her body on the thin mattress of hers and Zidan's.
It feels a little uncomfortable indeed, but he should be able to, he just has to be at home and accept everything. Unlike Zidan who had to slam bones to meet their household needs.
Zia felt her life changed by one hundred and eighty degrees, from a beloved and spoiled child, now forced to become an adult and rough wife. It will not be easy Zia days after this, she has to adapt to the new environment and has to adapt to her new status as well. Zia only prayed that she would be given strength to live it all.
Elsewhere, Zidan stopped his motor sport after a considerable distance from the contract, just stop by the side of the road and think what work he can do after school and accept Zidan. After sitting quietly on the bike for a long time, Zidan turned on his motorbike and rushed to a place that might receive his power.
This is where Zidan is, in a traditional market that turns out to be close to his contract, if you know why you have to go all the way just to think. Waste of gasoline.
Zidan was looking for a shop that might need his energy, perhaps a rice shop or anything as long as there was one.
"Excuse me sir, is here open a job vacancy, as a transport lecturer is also okay sir," said Zidan.
"Sorry son, nothing. Try looking at other stores," said the seller who visited Zidan. Until some stores remain no one wants to hire Zidan. Zidan who felt tired returned to the parking lot and rested on his bike, the plan after this he will go around the market again until he finds a job.
Zidan was resting while looking at the entire market which was arguably quiet, because now it was night, only a few shops were seen open and most sellers were also looking to prepare their wares for the early hours of tomorrow. Suddenly his eyes caught two suspicious people trying to open the curtain of the shop in the corner of the market. The big store in front of him was dark because maybe the lights had already been turned off.
Seeing the suspicious behavior of the two men, Zidan rushed over and patted one of them on the shoulder.
"Why Bang?" asked Zidan in a cynical tone while showing his smirk smile.
The two people jumped in shock and looked at each other and tried to membogem Zidan. Zidan who was used to fighting easily read the movements of the two people who were allegedly going to steal it. Zidan's hand swiftly restrained the two men's bogeman.
"You want to tell the story Bang?" zidan said before throwing both hands of the thief and punching one of them became the beginning of the two-on-one fight. People who heard the commotion from the corner flocked to find two thugs and a teenage boy fighting.
