Ara's condition had improved thanks to the blood that the mysterious figure had given her. That morning, Ara opened her eyes but was not yet fully aware.
"Alhamdulillah, your brother's critical period is past and has opened his eyes. Today it can be moved to a regular inpatient room!" obviously the doctor just came out of the ICU room.
"Really, doc? Thank goodness!" aldy almost hugged the doctor for pleasure.
"Only, his memory had not fully returned due to the effects of the surgery. I hope you can help him recover his memory again" the doctor said.
"Well, doc. Thank you very much, Doc!" Aldy greeted the young-looking doctor. Aldy glanced at his name. He is Raffi's doctor.
"Together, it is my duty. We'll see you in the hospital room again, yeah. I'm sorry, I have to go first" Raffi said politely.
"Good, doc!" aldy Sahut.
"Where is Ara, Al?" Andre went straight to Aldy.
"Ara's condition has improved, Dre. The doctor said Ara would be moved to a normal room today. But ...,"
"What's up, Al?" asked Andre curiously.
"Ara's intention has not healed properly" said Aldy who is still anxious.
"It's like that after the surgery, Al. We can help him remember" Andre explained.
"Yes, Dre. I went to admin first, yeah. Something needs to be taken care of!"
"Yes, Al. Let me wait here!"
Aldy walked straight to the admin section. He had to take care of unfinished financial matters. Before Ara was operated on, the hospital actually asked for a deposit but Aldy had not paid all.
"It looks like all the finances are paid off, sir!" said the administrative officer.
"Cone? Who paid for it?" ask Aldy who is a little confused. He just wants to pay it off.
"Back Ken paid for it. He also gave more deposits for the next ten days!" obviously the officer again.
"Ken?" ask Aldy in my heart. It seemed, Ken was very responsible for the incident that befell Ara. Aldy was wrong.

Barrels come while carrying food. However, what was seen in front of Ara's room was only Andre. Baras tried to remain calm even though his heart was full of thump.
"Corn, brother. Aldy where is it? Here I bring food," said Laras who became awkward.
Andre looked at the clingy Laras. "Aldy is going to the admin section. Is that food just for Aldy? Frankly, I'm hungry too" asked Andre slightly teasing Laras.
"Of course for Andre too. I-I made a lot of rendangnya, really!" said Laras a little stuttering. His old illness recurred when he was groggy.
"Asshiii, your cooking must be delicious!" said Andre with sparkling eyes.
Baras didn't realize his face was red.
"Hi, Race!"
Aldy came in time. Otherwise, the barrel can freeze.
"Yes, Brother. Here I bring food for brother and sister Aldy!" said Laras while offering a food box.
"Thank you, Ras. You better eat first, Dre. I'll wait until Ara gets moved to a normal room!" obviously Aldy.
Laras was very happy to hear Ara's condition, "has Ara improved, sis?" tanyanya enthusiastic.
"Thank God, Ara's fine, Ras. Oh, aye. If you see Ken, tell him I want to talk to him." Aldy remembered about the finances Ken had paid.
"Admin said, Ken's already paid for all of Ara's finances. I want to talk about that, Dre. I don't want to trouble anyone!" obviously Aldy.
"Indeed Ken should take responsibility, Al. Don't feel guilty!" said Andre a little loudly.
Laras was very surprised by Andre's words. It seems, Andre hates Ken a lot.
"Yes, Dre. But, I have to talk to Ken too!"
"Yes, already. I'll tell Ken. Let me know if Ara gets moved!"
"Yes, Dre. Already, eat there!"
Andre was forced to obey Aldy even though he was still curious about Ken. Ken should be in charge of Ara. He is the one who looks after her.
Laras was silent when Andre began to eat his cooking. They chose a hospital canteen for a place to eat.
"Hhmmm, your cooking is delicious, Ras. You deserve to be a chef!" praise Andre after bribing rendang into his mouth, "no! Not a chef, but a housewife!" andre continued a little teasing.
Barrels began to feel his chest pounding again. He was very upset that he could not hold back his feelings. Ahhhh! Muka Laras added menor aja deeh!
"Ga aah, brother. I don't want to be a housewife!" sahut Laras tried to calm his heart.
"Looh, why?" asked Andre curiously.
"Where anyone wants to be my partner, brother. How to be a housewife!" answer Laras as best you can.
Andre laughed as soon as he heard Laras's answer, "of course there is me, but you have to wait" said Andre.
Laras. Andre's words confused him. At the same time, Andre still likes Ara.
"What about Ara?"
Andre's riveted. It turned out that Laras still doubted his heart.
"Ara is my sister, Ras. We grew up together. I consider him just a brother. But my heart is all yours. Don't doubt me!" andre said firmly. He did not want Laras to doubt his feelings.
"But ...." Barrel back stuttering.
Andre immediately grabbed Laras' hand and grasped it tightly.
"My feelings are very clear, Race. I like you a lot" Andre said without hesitation.
Barrels just bowed. I don't know why his eyes are wet. Andre's words made him sad.
Aldy was even confused to see the crying barrel.
"By! Why are you crying? Are my words wrong?"
Barrel wiped away the tears that ran down his cheeks.
"I guess you still like Ara!" laras said slowly.
"Any! You are, Race. I've explained how I feel about Ara. Do I need to kneel down so you can trust me?!" Aldy immediately stood up and prepared to kneel.
Laras glared, he did not want Andre to kneel let alone in front of many people. He immediately pulled Andre's shirt.
"Ja-don't, brother. Shame to see people! Yes-yes, I believe big brother," Baras murmured.
Andre smiled with satisfaction. Laras has already confessed his feelings despite having to be forced.
