"Reduce activity, often compressed using cold water and do not forget to lift the knee higher than the body when lying down." Says Dr. William, Orthopaedic and Traumatology Surgeon.
"Well, doc," Sekar took a good look at all the doctor's messages in his brain memory.
"Is that okay, doc?" Arion asked the doctor a third time. Apparently, he was not satisfied with William's reply.
Doctor William smiled knot. "It's okay. This is only a mild bruise, at most 3-5 days will heal. But be aware if there are symptoms, such as the size of the bruise is getting bigger, pain increases, difficult to move legs, tingling or numbness in some parts around the legs and crooked. If any of the symptoms are found, you should come here immediately,"
Arion nodded. Now he feels really relieved to hear the condition of Sekar was not too worrying.

"I told you, I'm fine. Oh, and ngeyel!" sahut Sekar when they arrived at the parking lot of the Hospital.
"Just in case." Answer Arion kalem. The man ruffled Sekar's hair and led the girl into his car.
He took Sekar to lunch first at a fast food restaurant before continuing the journey.
"Where are we going, Mom?" ask Sekar, as soon as they get in the car.
"My foster mother's house." Answer Arion.
He scrunched his forehead. "For what? He said go for a walk, why go there? I don't want Mas. Better just take me home." Reject Sekar. Why would Arion take her there? As far as he knew, there was no discussion about it, so it was natural that Sekar refused outright. After all, their relationship was not that close, to the point that Arion had to take her to the foster mother's residence.
"You can't be alone at home. Someone has to take care of you. So you'd better stay at his house for a few days." Bright Arion.
"I don't want to! What would happen if your mother found out, I came to your house all of a sudden? Just know it yet." Sekar folded his hands while looking at Arion annoyed. The girl was trying to intimidate him.
"I called him when we ate."
Hearing Arion's words as if without burden, Sekar opened his mouth wide. It's worth it a long time ago when permission would call someone.
"Kan, Mas always seems to be alone," Sekar grumbled.
"You're always arguing what I say. Can't make things easier by answering 'yes' without having to think?"
"Bigg!" Just throwing face. Arguing with a smart man is exhausting. Instead of winning, you'll only embarrass yourself. Just look, all of your words are played back very easily by him!
...***...
An hour later they arrived in front of a simple one-story house. The yard of the wooden fenced house looks very beautiful because it is overgrown with various kinds of plants.
Arion invites Sekar into it.
The typical fragrance of a country house immediately burst out, hitting their noses. Reminds Sekar of his hometown.
"It turns out there are still houses like this in the City," murmured Sekar.
"Assalamualaikum," said Arion to the residents of the house.
"Waalaikumsalam." an answer sounded from within. From his voice, Sekar can guess if the person might be sepadi with him.
Sure enough, a girl who was probably only a few years younger Swkar came out of the house in a hurry.
"Where's mom, Din?" asked Arion as soon as he saw Dini.
"Have left for work, Pa–Mas," replied Early awkwardly. His eyes then turned to a beautiful girl with a simple look but her face was very awe.
"Mbak Sekar, huh?"
"Yes." Yeah." Reply Sekar while nodding his head.
"May also, Father's taste." Inner Early.
"Come, Ma'am, Mas, come in first," asked Dini. They entered the house and sat in the living room.
Arion asked Dini for permission once more to allow Sekar to stay there for several days. He also asked Dini to take clothes Sekar at his boarding house.
She initially refused because she felt bad. They had just met but Sekar had already troubled them a lot.
After talking for a while, Arion was ready to return to the Office.
"Later in the night I'll be here again" he told Sekar. Sekar nodded in spirit. He indeed hopes Arion can be longer with him to disappear awkwardness on Dini and her mother.
After driving Arion to the front of the house, Dini showed an empty room to Sekar.
The room is fragrant and neat, but it is clear that the room has been empty for a long time. Many old items are arranged in such a way and placed in the corner of the room.
"I'm sorry, ma'am, if the room is still a mess. This used to be Mom's room with Dad, but since Dad died, Mom has been reluctant to occupy it and chose to sleep with me. Yeah, even though sometimes, I still like to sleep here." Early Words.
"It's okay, Dini. This is more than enough. Thank you, huh?"
"Together, Mother." Dini helped Sekar put the sports bag he brought.
"In that case, I paid for work first huh, Ma'am? Mom's coming home later, she works only half a day."
Sekar nodded. He got out of the room and left. The girl refused to be ushered in front of the house and told Sekar to rest.
Feeling bored by being alone, Sekar took the initiative to sweep and mop the floor while looking around the house deeper.
The house is quite spacious even though it only has two rooms and one bathroom. The spacious room in the middle of the house is used as a television room and living room, without a partition. The house gets a lot of sunlight because it has windows without glass.
The floor of his house, which only uses cement, reminds Sekar of his own home.
Sekar so miss Mbah and Budenya. The girl decided to call both of them.
...***...
Arion entered the main house with a cold face. The greetings of some maids were completely disregarded by the man. His face was not friendly this time.
His feet stepped towards the second floor, where the woman used to spend her time.
Without excuse, Arion opened the door of a room violently. The room is the room where Erlina put her valuables, such as bags, shoes and some jewelry and luxury accessories.
Erlina almost shouted cursing at someone who had been presumptuous to enter her private room.
"A–arion, Mama thinks who," said Erlina nervously.
"So, if it wasn't me, you'd have the right to curse anyone?" asked Arion coldly.
"Bu–not so." Kill Erlina. "You're not going to the office, son? Have you eaten yet? Mama prepare, huh?" connect Erlina. The woman tries to avoid Arion.
Arion walked over, approaching Erlina.
"I've heard your behavior in the office" said Arion. Erlina swallowed her saliva.
"I warned you not to come to the office. I gave you permission to enjoy this house and its contents, I have also placed your son and future son-in-law in the Umbara Office. So, you're supposed to sit pretty sweet and don't act!" hisses Arion.
Erlina laughed a little. "What's wrong with visiting my husband's office? Remember Arion, I'm your father's legal wife, so I have every right to do what I want, including coming to visit the Office."
Arion smiled knot. "You only have the right to be silent and live peacefully here. Don't you dare disturb the peace of my employees, what else to torture him like yesterday."
"Which "employee? I see, you're paying attention to one of the OGs to the point of bothering to take him to the Clinic" Erlina said cynically. He tried not to be intimidated by Arion's eyes, which seemed to be pouncing on him.
Hearing Erlina's words, Arion squinted his eyes. "I always pay attention to all my employees. So, don't try anything or I'll burn all this collection of yours" he said.
Erlina. The woman shook her head until Arion turned around to leave her.
As Arion was exactly in the doorway, Erlina said, "Very the girl's name. Aye, right?"
Arion turned around and looked at Erlina sharply before finally exiting the room completely.
Arion knew very well, Erlina had discovered her weakness. It seemed, he had to more strictly watch over the woman, as well as protect Sekar now.
Erlina was actually a smart woman, that was one of the reasons why Dewandaru wanted to marry her. The man thought, Erlina can replace him one day later. But when several times he worked in the Office, various kinds of problems came. The woman's original temperament wasn't as good as her intelligent brain.
Erlina was the second woman Dewandaru loved, but hated most of the Umbara family. The woman never even got the blessing of her Grandpa Grandmother until now.
