The next morning, Nana was conscious. Doctors said Nana's condition was recovering. Nana just needs to maintain her diet and stop the dependence of painkillers and alcohol.
“How do you feel, Na?” ask Kansha.
Nana who was sitting on the bed nodded with a smile, “I've improved a lot. Thank you for helping me.” Nana Sahut.
“Sama-sama. We are family after all. Oh yes last night, how could you.”
“Ah, I skipped lunch and dinner last night because I felt my ulcer relapse I finally took pain medication. Uh, even the drinking.” Nana laughed a little.
“You're crazy. Since when do you drink often? And again, why do you keep taking drugs that even doctors don't prescribe?” Kansha stared intently at Nana and her voice was full of emotion.
Nana smiled little to see her closest friend was being emotional to her. “I just felt a little stressed until finally drinking. And about the drug, it was originally prescribed by my doctor but over time I became addicted especially I often miss my meal.” Reply Nana slowly. “I'm sorry and don't get mad.” Next welding.
Kansha sighed softly and softened her gaze, “Ya already. But remember, don't do anything silly like yesterday. I'll watch your meal from now on. And if I see you drinking again, just watch out.” threatened Kansha.
“I know. I also kapok.” Nana Timpal.
“Good.” Kansha nodded.
“Oh yes, brother Ruben where?” asked Nana wanderlust. Because, since he woke up, the glasses man did not see the nose at all.
“Kak Ruben go buy breakfast.” Answer Kansha.
Nana nodded, “Oh huh what about yesterday's proposal? You accepted it, right?” nana asked half cheerful, half sad.
Kansha did not answer. She looked into Nana's eyes instead, looking for the essence of the meaning of the question she was asking. “What are you looking at me like?” nana asked a little nervously.
Kansha responded by turning her eyes and shrugging her shoulders. “I haven't answered anything. His application for the hunt is off.” The reply.
“Cancel?” peekkik Nana's. Kansha nodded.
“It must be because I called you yesterday. I'm sorry, because I proposed to Mr. Ruben and you canceled.” Nana felt guilty.
“That's my proposal, Mr. Ruben, not my proposal. I honestly am a little grateful. I'm not ready to answer anything. The application was impressed suddenly and I'm sure, you also involved.”
Nana nodded confirming, “Iya, I purposely informed Brother Ruben that you are on vacation and used him to propose to you.”
“Why did you do that?”
“Why? Of course, because Brother Ruben loves you.” Nana said with her heart.
Kansha. Now Nana in her eyes, is a pathological liar.
Drrt
Kansha's phone is shaking. An incoming message from an unknown number was plastered on his screen. Kansha opened it and immediately snorted.
“What's up, Kansha?” nana asked when she saw Kansha's look.
Kansha put her case phone in then shook her head, “Nothing.” she said briefly. “Oh yes, I have a little business outside, and I think Brother Ruben will be coming soon.” Kansha then stood up.
“Oh yasudah. You be careful yes,” said Nana. Kansha nodded then walked out of Nana's ward.

Alan was queuing for breakfast at one of the porridge stalls. He was silent for a while then picked up his phone and contacted someone.
“Halo.” Greet someone across the phone with a distinctive raspy tone wake up.
“You just woke up?” ask Alan.
“I just finished my night shift. After the dawn prayer, I slept again.” Reply Alfin, his sister.
“Ah so.”
“What's calling me this early in the morning? Brother stole something? Now at which police station?” ask Alfin to dig.
“What the hell are you talking about? Basic silly.” Alan was upset.
“Then what's calling me early in the morning?”
Alan cleared his throat for a moment, embarrassed to say so. “You must have exchanged contacts with Kansha, right?” ask Alan slowly.
“What's a sister?” reset Alfin.
“I request Kansha contact from you.” Alan said embarrassedly.
Alfin across the phone suddenly woke up. He held back his laughter when Alan asked Kansha for contact. Especially with Alan. God, Alfin wants to laugh out loud.
“What did sister say? Brother ask whose contact?” alfin fishing rod smiled amusedly.
Alan, who was behind it, was now wearing a strange sea. Should he repeat what he says? He really felt ashamed. His face was even red.
“Kansha.” Alan said in the end.
“Who's sister?” Alfie repeated his question. The smile is still on its heels.
“Kansha.” Repeat Alan a little hard.
“What brother? Not heard.” Alfin apparently still wanted to tease Alan.
“KANSHA.” Shouted Alan. Alfin who heard it felt sad but still laughed
However, Alan also forgot the fact that he was not alone here. There are many buyers who see it strangely. Alan smiled shyly and stroked his nape.
“So quickly give or otherwise, brother will not guarantee your figure collection is still intact.” Threaten Alan slowly.
“Gosh. Yeah-yes, I'll send it. Your threats are always dangerous.” Dengus Alfin's.
“Quickly send.” Said Alan. He then closed his phone without hearing Alfin's reply.
Before long, the incoming message from Alfin's number contained a line of Kansha numbers. Alan said thank you after that keep Kansha's number in his contacts. Afterwards, Alan typed something into Kansha's chat room.
I brought you breakfast. Where are you now?
^^^^^^
Alan sent his message to Kansha and after waiting for a while, Kansha answered his message.
Kansha
It seems you don't suck anymore. Where did you get my number? Begging your sister? I'm at Bakti Pertiwi Hospital. Bring me a burger and double fries.
Alan shook his head at the answer Kansha sent.
“Mas, this is the slurry.” The voice of the seller interrupts Alan's activities. Alan immediately moved and received a crackle bag in which there was a porridge order.
“All how much mas?” ask Alan.
“Thirty thousand.” Answer the seller. Alan took out twenty thousand and ten thousand bills and handed them to the seller. After saying thank you, Alan came out of the stall and immediately stopped the taxi passing in front of him.
“Ke Bakti Pertiwi Hospital, pak.” Alan said to the taxi driver.
***
Alan arrived at the hospital. He got out of the taxi and was immediately treated to the silhouette of Kansha waiting for him in the lobby. Alan walked up to him.
“I'm not the patient. Why give porridge. Where are the burgers and fries?” kansha asked as soon as Alan was in front of her.
“Purpur much better. Where is the fast food restaurant open at six in the morning? Cut back on fast food.” Reply Alan.
“You also have breakfast with fast food.” Dengus Kansha. He was heard by Alan.
“Ah, so right. If the figure I saw at the restaurant was you! Why just run?” Alan Todong.
Kansha cleared her throat briefly, “You alone can't catch up.” Said indifferent.
Alan gaped at Kansha's reply. Kansha who saw Alan's reaction held back a laugh and directly took the parcel from Alan's hand.
“You committed? Thank you.” Kansha said without sin.
“So it's not just for me?” kansha asked Alan who stopped walking.
Alan snorted then turned around, “That's two servings. You are greedy to eat everything.”
Kansha just smiled without sin.
***
Kansha and Alan sit in the hospital cafeteria and start eating the porridge that Alan bought. They eat quietly. The atmosphere of the canteen is also still quiet. The current time indicates six o'clock past twenty minutes.
“So how is your best friend?” alan asked, breaking the silence.
“It's improved.” Answer Kansha by keeping chewing.
“When are you home?” kansha looked at Alan.
“Let's eight in the morning. You alone?”
Kansha shook her head, “Cancelled for today.Possible return tomorrow or the day after. We wait for Nana's condition to improve.” Reply Kansha.
Alan nodded in understanding. “If today maybe you will board a plane piloted by me.”
“Sok knows you. My flight in the afternoon knows.” Kansha's tongue was sticking out. Alan just stroked his hair in embarrassment.
“Oh yes, I bought something here. Maybe you recognize it.” Said Alan again. Alan took out a small box and passed it to Kansha.
Kansha wiped her hand then took the small box. “Bukalah.” Decree Alan. Kansha opened it and instantly fell silent. He looked at Alan who was looking at him confusedly.
“What's up?” alan asked puzzled at Kansha's unexpected reaction.
“Where did you get this?” ask Kansha back. He was so confused and surprised when the contents of the box was a woven bracelet that he had bought several years ago which is now gone.
“I remember your words saying that your bracelet was lost in the sea waves. You look sad that's why I bought this. I don't know if that's the bracelet you're referring to or not.” Answer Alan.
Kansha was still staring at Alan making Alan a little nervous. He could not guess what was on this woman's mind.
“Why are you doing this?” ask Kansha suddenly. He asked in a serious tone puzzling Alan with the intention of Kansha's question.
“What do you mean?”
“Why are you doing this to me? Why do you remember every word I said to you? Why would you buy this? why do you care?”
Alan was silent at Kansha's question. He was very confused as to what to answer. Kansha's question raised another question in her mind. Is—why does Alan care?
“I only remember you anyway I thought it could be a gift for you when we meet again.” Alan answered in the end.
“Surely you will see me again?” ask Kansha. Alan was convinced.
Alan now boldly looked into Kansha's eyes, trying no longer to be intimidated, “Actually there are many traces you left behind. Our meeting seventy percent is by effort, and I guess thirty percent is destiny.”
"Wrong." said Kansha. Alan frowned not understanding. "Most of our encounters are destiny. There are many opportunities of chance that are not obtained by effort. Just like our meeting."
“Very romantic.” Kansha said slowly. He was still staring into the depths of Alan's eyes.
Then Kansha continued, “Saking romanticnya, there are many stories that no continuation.”

Ruben went into Nana's ward by carrying a crackle bag. There is breakfast for her and Kansha.
“Kak Reuben.” Sapa Nana's. He then sat down and looked at Ruben who was approaching him.
“You're awake? How are you feeling?” ask Ruben. He put his groceries on the table.
Nana nodded cheerfully, “It's been better. Thank you for saving me. Kansha said, sister did emergency CPR for me.”
“Sama-sama. Thank goodness you are better. Brother is relieved to hear it.” Reply Ruben smiled.
“Oh yes, that what sis?” tanya Nana pointed at the crackle that Ruben had brought.
Ruben followed Nana's index finger, “Oh it's breakfast. By the way where is Kansha?”
“Kansha has business just now. He was out twenty minutes ago.” Answer Nana.
“Urusan? What business?” Nana shakes not knowing.
“Oh yes sis, about the application last night. I'm sorry because I proposed that brother cancel.” Nana felt guilty.
Ruben smiled shook his head, “That's okay. Maybe it's not time yet. There's still another time.” Reply Ruben.
Nana speechless, “Eh?” mummified Nana. He was speechless when Ruben said there was still another day.
“Oh yes, have you had breakfast?” ask Ruben. Nana nodded slowly.
Reuben shifted his gaze to the typical hospital food that Nana had not eaten. He took it and brought it closer to Nana.
“Firstly.” Reuben's word. Nana shakes unwillingly.
“It feels weird. I don't like.” said Nana frowning dislikes.
Ruben sighed, then spooned the flavorless porridge into Nana's mouth, “Open your mouth, big brother.”
Nana surprised, “Serious sister? Uh, no need.” Reject Nana.
Ruben shook his head, “If not so, when will you eat while you have to take medicine.”
“Quick open your mouth.” Tell Ruben again. Nana complied and opened her mouth, taking a bribe from Reuben.
Reuben continued to feed Nana. And Nana would not want to chew and swallow it even though it feels strange. His heart continued to pound when Ruben's face was only a meter away. His face may have been red. Hopefully, his older brother did not hear his heartbeat and did not even realize that his face was red.
Then five minutes later the porridge that was fed to Ruben was finished. Nana received a glass of water from Ruben and downed him for half. Then Reuben put the empty bowl on the nightstand. And wordlessly took Nana's medicine and handed it to Nana.
“MINum.” Reuben. Nana took the drugs and immediately swallowed them. Reuben handed Nana a drink.
“Rest.” Ruben said when it was done. He put the medicine bottle and empty glass on the nightstand and got up.
“Where are you going?” nana asked as soon as Ruben was about to step up.
“Kakak will look for Kansha first. He hasn't had breakfast. You okay here alone?”
Nana let out her smile, then nodded slowly. “Tak what. Go kak.” He said with a bitter tone.
***
Ruben walked looking for Kansha around the hospital corridor. Ruben arrived at the hospital cafeteria and was shocked when Kansha was with a man.
Ruben's approaching. They seem to be talking seriously. But Reuben could not hear it. He then got closer and it was starting to become clear who the man was. But Ruben never saw it. Or maybe ever?
“Kansha.” Call Ruben at the end.
Kansha who was called by her name immediately turned her head as well as the man.
“Kak Reuben?”
Ruben approached and approached Kansha who was now standing followed by the foreign man.
“Who is he?” ruben pointed at Alan.
“Ah, you guys haven't gotten acquainted with each other.” Kansha said trying to calm down. “Sister Ruben, this is Alan, he was the one who was with me when the incident happened.” Alan looked at Ruben and nodded. “Alan, this is Brother Ruben, my elder brother.” Ruben nodded.
“Alan.” Alan stretched out his hand.
“Ruben.” Reuben shook Alan's hand.
Alan and Ruben were still looking at each other with their hands still attached. There seems to be an unusual view of each other. For some reason, the atmosphere became strange.
"I think we've met" said Ruben suddenly.
