Alsa had been lying in a hospital bed for more than two hours, her body temperature had dropped but her consciousness had not returned.
Ken who decided not to go to school, still faithfully sitting next to Alsa's hospital bed. The dark eyes that always highlighted sharp now dimmed, continuously staring at the face of the beautiful girl who was still faithful to close her two gray beads.
Occasionally his right hand stretched out to brush Alsa's thin bangs, not until there he also stroked the thin cheeks of his paled underclassman.
"Ngghh ..," Alsa said, making Ken gasp, he grabbed Alsa's hand and clasped tightly.
"Ca?" call Ken soft. Alsa turned her head weakly towards Ken and the man smiled in relief.
"Cock me here?"
"Lo passed out on the street, so I took you to the hospital. How are you doing now?" worried look again printed clearly on Ken's face, the man hopes Alsa's condition has improved.
"I'm just a little dizzy" replied Alsa honestly.
"Lo hasn't eaten yet? Doctor said maag lo relapsed."
Alsa shook her head, she came back sad when she remembered herself being expelled by Frans.
"Lo eat first, huh?" tawar Ken's. But answered again by Alsa, his appetite has even gone somewhere.
"Kok lo can get here anyway, Ca? It's far from your apartment."
" ... ." Alsa just silently did not answer, she was confused to tell her about the problem or not.
He is afraid of being considered attention-seeking by people he likes.
"Lo tell me the same story, who knows I can help," Ken persuaded not to lose.
"I was kicked out of Davin's house with her Papa" explained Alsa finally, he did not care to be called a caper or acting by Ken. What is clear is that now he needs a friend to confide in.
"Mister Davin's father? isn't he bokap lo too?" ken asks who thinks Davin and Alsa are siblings, confused and can't believe why his father would throw his own child away.
"Sister Davin was my adoptive parent" Alsa's reply left Ken in disbelief, so all this time his guess was wrong. All he knows is Davin's older brother Alsa.
"Lo from the orphanage?" ken asked carefully afraid of offending.
"Ultimately Davin was married to my older sister, but Alea's sister died a few years ago along with her mom and dad, so since then I've been taken care of by Davin's sister."
"Sister Davin's parents never liked me and Alea's sister because we came from a lower middle family, Om Frans always told Alea's sister that she didn't deserve to be her son's wife."
"When Brother Davin took care of me, Om Frans was against it until Brother Davin decided to leave his parents' house and we lived together, in his apartment which was when Alea's late sister was still there."
Kenzo fell silent, feeling that his life that was considered to suffer the most turned out to be much luckier than Alsa.
He regrets because all this time he always complained about things that are not important, Ken felt strongly defeated by Alsa who was two years younger than him.
He let out a tired sigh, to which Alsa stared blankly at the porridge bowl she was holding.
The girl's eyes were implied with deep wounds and sadness, a tired impression emanating clearly in her net. Even so, Alsa still did not shed a tear on a grain of goods.
Ken was curious as to what the girl in front of him was. Because normally a girl will be easy to cry, but different from Alsa who always looks strong and strong without tears.
***
At nightfall, Ken was still faithfully beside Alsa. The girl continued to deliriously call Davin's name making Ken who already knew the relationship both feel disliked when Alsa muttered the name of another man in the girl's dream.
Picking up his smartphone, the man tries to contact Davin. He wanted to tell her about Alsa being sick, but there was no answer at all.
Annoyed by Davin's indifference to Alsa, he swore in his heart that he would never let go of Alsa for Davin.
He grew anxious and could not sleep all night when Alsa's heat began to rise again, Davin's name continued to run hoarse on Alsa's tiny lips.
The doctor had given Alsa help until her fever finally decreased when the day went up in the morning, and then Ken picked up the dreamland.
***
Grace who takes care of Davin is increasingly anxious when the brother has not yet dropped his fever even though the day is approaching morning, Davin continues to delirious to call the name Alsa.
Several times Grace tried to contact her adoptive sister's phone, but Alsa's phone was not active to make her heart more restless.
He is convinced that Davin loves Alsa only that the man has not noticed it.
Until a man came up to Grace who was sitting on the sofa while frowning her forehead suddenly dizzy.
The warm cup of tea that the man had brought was placed on Grace's front desk.
"Drink first, dear," said the man, who was followed by Grace.
"I'm confused as to what to do now. The doctor gave me medicine. But, the fever hasn't come down yet, too, which Alsa's phone isn't active." Grace grew increasingly upset considering there was no one she could ask about Alsa.
"What if you tried to call your mom?" gerry's proposal, Grace's lover.
"I tried it." Grace called her mother.
"Hello?"
"Ma," call Grace gamang.
"Why, Grace?" ask her mother to worry.
"Do you know anything about Alsa?" ask Grace at last.
"Grace ... Papa, you've kicked Alsa out, son," Grace's mother's answer made the girl's heart ache, with no tears in her eyes. His mind is screwed right now, Alsa is too young to be out there.
"Alsa got kicked out with Papa, Ma?" grace asked in disbelief, Her mother just kept quiet and it replied that everything was true.
Immediately Grace closed her connection without saying any greetings, Gerry hugged Grace and calmed her girl down.
"Where's this? Alsa's alone out there, what am I supposed to do? My brother is sick, and my sister does not know where to go .. hiks .. hiks ... Gerry, I'm afraid something's happened to Alsa." Garce is sobbing deep.
"What?! Papa's driving Alsa?!" the voice of someone behind them made the two turn their heads, they were even more shocked when they saw the face full of anger of the man.
"Abang," said Grace.
