Keysa's steps came to a halt as the hot hand pulled her wrist and forbade her from leaving by calling Keysa 'mom'.
"Mommy Devano has been missing since Devano was a child, and some even consider him dead." Coinciding with that, Ezra also went into the room. "Since his mommy disappeared, Dev never felt a mother's affection again. And every time it hurts, he must be delirious like that. So, may I ask your help to take care of Devano? Because I still have another job," continued Ezra while giving Keysa a heat-lowering drug and asking the girl to give it to Devano in an hour.
Keysa grabbed the medicine with his hand still held tightly by Devano. Slowly, he tried to release his hand as he was about to keep the medicine in the nightstand.
"Mom, don't leave me!" racau Devano as Keysa attempts to release Devano's hand.
Seeing an increasingly unwilling hand with a voice that sounded very soft, making Keysa undo his intentions. The glasses girl felt sorry for Devano's situation. He sat on the edge of Devano's bed with his eyes fixed on the pale face lying weakly there.
"What's wrong with me?" mumbling Keysa in the heart. Staring at Devano's face, Keysa's heart suddenly beat so fast that something had changed inside.
Meanwhile, Ezra who saw Keysa looking at Devano with a hand that stroked Devano's hand tried to calm the man down, making Ezra smile.
"I'm out first. Please accompany him, yes, Key!" Ezra leaves Keysa alone with Devano in the room.
Keysa simply nodded as the man beside her did not give Keysa a chance to refuse. In the room Keysa accompanied Devano who was delirious several times and kept calling her mother.
"Calm down, your mommy's not going anywhere. He's here, he's always around you" Keysa said, trying to calm Devano down as he stroked Devano's head.
"Mom don't go! Mama! Mama!"
"Mommy won't go. Mommy will always be here near you." The delirious Devano gets worse, making Keysa finally act as if she is Devano—'s mother hoping the man stops delirious.
However, instead of stopping delirious the man even suddenly woke up with cold sweat that soaked his entire body. "Mommy!" shouts Devano. "Mom!" he shouted again while scanning the room room looking for the figure he called it. "You? What are you doing here?" Devano stared at Keysa in full search. "Where's my mommy? Just heard her voice?" devano asked again when he realized that only he and Keysa were there.
Keysa himself did not know what to answer. He did not expect by pretending to be Devano's mother even made a man wake up. "That's .. that's .. Your mother isn't here Keysa replied.
"Don't lie! I heard mommy's voice here. He stroked my head, he also calmed me down," Devano's circus, as he got out of bed trying to find his mommy.
"Mommy's not here. I did that. I'm sorry if you made you think your mommy was here." Keysa pulled Devano's hand and sat back down the man who only wore the boxer. "Sit down, don't move much! You're still sick" Keysa continued.
"So you were pretending to be mommy?" ask Devano.
Keysa did not answer. The girl walked over to the nightstand and took the medicine that Ezra had given her. "Take the medicine first so that the heat quickly drops," said Keysa while thrusting a white object with a glass of water.
"No. I don't want to!" reject Devano. He kept Keysa's hand away from the medicine.
Keysa continued to force the man to take medicine and Devano continued to refuse.
"Okay, I'll take some medicine. Provided you have to pay compensation for pretending to be my mother" said Devano, who had Keysa's forehead folded. "You have to hug me and make me sleep exactly like mommy" he continued.
"But, because of you now I miss mommy so much. I really wish he was here when I was sick like I am today." Devano's face turned mellow.
Seeing Devano who seemed to miss his mother very much, Keysa did not have the heart to reject him anymore. Finally, he agreed on the condition that Devano must take the medicine he brought. After taking the medicine, it didn't take long for Devano to fall asleep again in Keysa's embrace, then Keysa came out of the room.
A few hours later ....
The effect of the drug makes Devano sleep very soundly. Keysa who was still accompanying the man took the initiative to make food for Devano. Aided by Ezra, Keysa cooks in the kitchen one of the only carrots—sayur that Devano dislikes.
When she finished, Keysa brought her food to the room and told Devano to eat first.
"I don't want to. Get that food out of my face!" Seeing the vegetables Keysa brought were filled with carrots, Devano immediately refused it. In fact, the man shuddered and was like he was about to vomit. "Do you know I don't like carrots? You purposely wanted to prank me, huh?" devano sarcasm.
Seeing Devano who refused the raw food, Keysa immediately lowered his head. It was thought that Devano would be happy with his homemade food, but the situation was the opposite and Devano even thought that Keysa was intending to prank the man, though he did not know at all if Devano does not like carrots.
"What do you want to eat? Let me find it," asked Keysa.
"Keysa's been cooking for you. Time is rejected without trying." Ezra.
Hearing Ezra's words, Devano immediately took a bowl of vegetable carrots that Keysa would bring out. "I'll eat it."
"If you don't like it, don't! Let me make or find something else. I'm not responsible if you get poisoned."
However, Devano did not listen to Keysa. He took a spoonful of the vegetable and put it in his mouth.
"Enak" muttered Devano which left Ezra and Keysa dumbfounded. When the carrot was eaten, Devano felt that it did not taste as bad as he imagined it even impressed delicious.
"Truly delicious? It won't get poisoned, will it?" asked Keysa, who feared Devano's poisoning due to the many cases of people being poisoned due to unwelcome food.
Devano nodded with his mouth already filled with food. He even ate the vegetables until they were finished.
It's already night time. Keysa had been with Devano all day and his condition had started to improve. After Devano finished his meal, Keysa said goodbye to go home.
"Key, tomorrow's my mom's birthday. I'd love it if you'd like to be at her birthday." Ezra invites Keysa to her mother's birthday party.
"Are you going to invite Keysa to your mother's birthday? Don't you know for yourself that every banquet he has in it always ends up messy" Devano said.
