At 23:00 local time,
Bian looked at his mother's body asleep on the sofa of the nursery with an orange blanket. Obviously he felt very guilty for separating his parents until they finally had to sleep in a much different place.
Yes, since knowing that their youngest child is in a coma, the father told their mother to stay by Bian's side, while himself remains awake at home because it is not good if they have to let their homes in the house left empty in a long time.
Slowly he tried to move the fingers of his right hand that felt so stiff. Just fingers because his arm still uses a cast. While the two lower limbs at all he could not feel other than the pain and pain sustained due to severe injuries he experienced.
The only thing he could move smoothly was his left hand which had only a torn wound on the upper arm, although it was still a little excruciating as he was not a left-handed person accustomed to his left hand.

Bian firmly believes that the Almighty is reprimanding him, deliberately giving him the opportunity to make amends for his past mistakes by letting him live from the fateful accident. But he was confused again, how he could meet the woman.
Yes, Sezi couldn't possibly meet her even if she was dying because she obviously didn't have any interest in him.
Bian exhaled his coarse breath, his mind completely deadlocked. Could it be that his heart did indeed like that woman but his body refused?. If indeed he did not like it why he had to bet his life just because his heart was burned by the words of the duo sableng his office friend and also his brain who could not think clearly when Bitha said so?.
_______
*Does he have to apologize over the phone?.
Ah that would obviously not be accepted. He knew how the woman would react to him or maybe his phone would never connect to the owner of the name.
Bian remembers his mother saying that Sarah's sister was a therapist working at a private hospital in their town*.
So how do you ask the woman to come here?. In such a condition?. His mind wrestled back.
Bian grunted rudely. He decided to talk about it tomorrow with his mother and brother because it was impossible for him to do so without the help of both of them.

This afternoon Sezi was really surprised by the arrival of the widower who deliberately invited him to talk at a seafood restaurant not far from the hospital where he worked.
Both of them sat facing the unpleasant aura even though the atmosphere inside was comfortable.
"Just go ahead because I still have a lot of unresolved work." Dion's words began their conversation and it made Sezi almost throw a glass of water in front of him because of the sentence of the widower that made him seem to be a person of interest to him.
Beyond expectations, Sezi did not welcome Dion's remarks. He just silently looked at the widower with a lazy look that seemed to want to say if he did not want to talk to him at all.
"Can you come for Meily's birthday dinner?." Ask to the point.
"I'm sorry, I already told him that I couldn't attend the ceremony." Replies
"But Meily was expecting your presence on her birthday."
"For what?. I think Meily already knew the reason why I rejected her. I am also not someone in your family."
"Is this what you say a code?." Dion smiled knot.
"Code?." Sezi asked back.
"You're nobody in my family but you're Meily's therapist and she's very much looking forward to your presence."
"I don't think this is Meily's will, though, because I have explained to him about my break time to your son and I am sure he can understand because I obviously got a reply like what I expected. I don't think I need to talk about it anymore, excuse me." Sezi left Dion alone at one of the resto tables with his second lunch menu order yet to arrive.
Sezi could not beat around the bush and obviously did not like if the widower began to approach him especially on the grounds of the princess who became his patient.
"Basic important snobs!. She thinks I'm a cute girl, in sory-sory is it!. Ogah very pleasantries with you even though you are the parents of my patients!." His grunts along the road he went through without realizing that five missed calls had been lodged in his phone since then due to silent mode.
Sezi only found out if his mother contacted him and obviously it made him wonder why the special woman had called him so many times.
"Hello ma?."
📲"You're so busy?."
"Yes, that's fine." Alibi. "why?."
"Tumbent." Sezi chuckled at his mother's voice across the street. "Yes yes, stop by to buy a boba."
The call ended after Sezi let the mother disconnect her phone. He felt unusual about his mother's speech that made him think that something was happening.
"That's very suspicious." He muttered while pushing the door of the room where he was on duty.

His arrival was greeted sweetly by Cia who was smilingly teasing herself.
"What is that smile?."
"Ciee, who has started deket ama si ono .. prikitiiewww!." Godasiah
"Grand ..."
"Well .. I'm really curious about Sez."
"Males really Ci discussed it. After all, I've stayed in your idol pesto same food."
"But the oneng!. Even wasted his free lunch."
"Free your teeth, if the treat is like an artist I'm definitely not reluctant."
"So much!."
"Oh very clear. Ogah dong I got treated just because there is a shrimp behind the rempeyek."
Cia gasped at Sezi's words which she thought were really funny.
"Why don't you just say you don't like him?."
"Well, he didn't say that he likes me, you don't want to dong Ci!."
"Yes, yes, really. He's gonna use Meily's alesan all the time." Cia scratched her un-itchy forehead.

After work Sezi really did what his mother asked him not to stop by, except to buy boba drink.
The noise of the motor greets the hearing of the homeowner when Sezi arrives. It was about forty minutes until the woman arrived home before sunset.
Sezi took off his shoes, sterilized his hands and feet using tap water and soap that he deliberately put on the porch of the house first before stepping on the floor.
"Assynnjet!."
"Wa alaikum salam. You speeded that up?."
"No, the road is normal."
"Totally bad for her?."
"Loh, he said he didn't have to stop by." Sezi stroked in leaving his mother who shook her head slowly while remembering that his youngest daughter was indeed amazing if driving on two wheels. Very worrying.
Sezi took off the entire cloth attached to his body and put it in a separate container to prevent bacteria from mixing. She then soaked it with a special soap for the clothes she was wearing from the hospital.
Clean and fresh are two words needed by his current molecular body. His eyes were awake when he heard a knock on the door.
"Sez, yuk is waiting for you." Mama said before leaving her room with the door open.
