“Do you have any more courses?” ask Nana.
Rose shook her head, “Nothing.” she said softly.
“Then come home with me and Kai.” said Nana.
“Thanks Nana. But sorry, I had to refuse. I don't want to continue to trouble you, nor do I want to be the one who will depend on you. Besides, I didn't go straight to my apartment. I have to go to a restaurant to work part-time.” Rose said.
“Rose, didn't I tell you, don't be too shy with me.” said Nana with a hand that seemed to move holding Rose's hand.
“It's not like that Nana. It's not about being sad or ungodly. I just don't want to be someone who likes to rely on others. Nana, as long as I can still do it myself, then I will do it myself. So you, please appreciate my efforts.” said Rose.
Nana sighed, she could not say anything more. Rose had actually closed the gap that Nana could use to reply to Rose's words.
They finally kept quiet. Wrestling with each other's thoughts.
When the two were silent, suddenly the sound of a ringing tone of the incoming call from Nana's phone.
The ringtone was playing nicely, making Nana immediately take her phone which she stored in the bag.
The girl took her phone with a face full of her antipasiasme. Yes, that's because the ringtone that just played on Nana's phone was a ringtone that Nana deliberately set specifically for someone's number that was very special to her, that is, Kai's number.
“Who? Just lift it if it is important.” said Rose when she saw Nana who looked at her phone. The girl looked eager to lift him up, but felt uneasy with Rose who was still feeling sad beside him.
“From Kai.” replied Nana, who was still looking at her phone screen. “If he calls, the most important thing must be asking me where I am.” Nana said.
Rose smiled, feeling well aware of Nana's current feelings. The girl is kasmaran.
Getting a call from the idol is the happiest thing for someone who is being nurtured by love.
“Thank you, he must be looking for you.” Rose said.
“Em, alright, I will lift it.” said Nana who directly shifted the green button.
Without going from Rose's side, Nana also raised the call from her lover.
“Sayang.” call Kai from across there.
“Hm? What's up?” ask Nana.
“Where are you now? Come meet, there is something important that I want to tell you.” said Kai.
“I was in the campus garden with Rose, near the fountain. What important thing do you want to say? Just say it directly.” said Nana.
“There's Rose there too? Ah, what a coincidence. Now try you loud-speaker this call, let Rose hear it too.” said Kai.
“Eh? Yes yes well.” said Nana while pressing the loud-speaker button on her phone.
“Already, I did. Now what do you want to say?”
“Wait a minute. You said you were in the college park, right? Near the fountain?” ask Kai.
“Iya.” replied Nana.
“OK, I see you. I will be there soon, just turn off the call, I will say directly.” Kai said as he waved his hand at Nana.
“Yes, I saw you too. I'll turn off the call. Hurry here.” said Nana, he returned a wave of Kai's hand.
The man then seemed to run towards his lover and also Rose who was sitting on the campus garden chair.
“Finally met also.” said Kai with breath that looks breathless.
“What's wrong with you? What important things do you want to say to me and Rose? But before, sit down first, you get breathless like that.” said Nana.
Geez, in these two days, I've seen people panting twice for running towards me. I really feel guilty here. — Inner Rose.
“This drink.” said Nana while giving a bottle of used mineral water to her lover, Kai.
“Ya, thank you dear.” said Kai who immediately seized the mineral water and drank it up.
“You spent it?” ask Nana.
“Eh? Can't it? Then I'll replace it right now. I'll go buy you a new one.” said Kai.
“Ck, did I say as if forbidding you to spend it? Forget about that drinking water problem. Now that you've been breathing normally, try telling us, what exactly made you run around like that?” ask Nana.
Kai nodded, then then sighed for a moment.
“It's about Yuan.” Kai said, starting the conversation.
“Yuan? Do you know where he is? I've been looking for him since this morning. But did not find it too.” said Rose who immediately seemed enthusiastic when she heard Kai mention the name of her lover.
“You looking for it?” ask Kai to Rose.
“Iya.” Rose replied.
“On campus?”
“Eh, what?” ask Rose who is lacking focus intake. So that his brain is a little less responsive, not as usual.
“Ck, are you looking for Yuan at this campus?” ask Kai thoroughly and completely.
“Yes, but I haven't seen you yet. Is he hiding? I even went into your special room. But it's empty, there's no one.” Rose replied.
“Indeed rarely anyone goes in there. Right now, those four popular men are busy with their respective college affairs. So there is no free time for them to gather and spend time there.” said Nana.
“Honey, forget about it. Now we go back to the original topic of Yuan.”, said Kai.
“Ck, after all, you if you want to say something, just say it directly. Don't beat around the bush, make me lose my patience.” said Nana.
“Iya yes well, I will say directly. So look, my mom called earlier, she said Yuan was sick. Last noon bib—”
“Wait, what did you say? Sick? Yuan sick?! Tell me, I must have misheard right?” rose asked, panicking.
“Eh? So he's really sick, huh? Not pretending to be sick? Jeez.” said Nana.
“Oh yes. Sorry Rose, I forgot to tell you yesterday. So, that Yuan came home early yesterday reportedly because he did not feel well. But I thought he was just pretending. I thought, Yuan just because he wants to avoid you, so he came home early and made such a classic excuse.”, Nana said with a look of regret.
Rose sighed, right now, she really did not care about what happened yesterday. What Rose cares about now is how Yuan is doing.
“Kai, do you know how Yuan is doing? Is the pain severe enough?” rose asked, still with a look of her worried face.
Kai was silent for a moment, as if recalling what his mother had told him.
“He seemed to have a fever, even Aunt Ana's hand felt like it was burning as she held onto Yuan's skin, that's what Ana's aunt said. The thing is, when my mom called, the doctor didn't come. After all, Yuan's condition was only discovered this afternoon by Ana's aunt. My mother said, it was fortunate that Aunt Ana forced her way into Yuan's room. Otherwise, maybe Yuan is already in danger just because of a high fever that is not immediately overcome.” said Kai.
Rose looked increasingly worried at Kai's words. He even seemed to be standing from his seat. Wanted to go see Yuan's condition.
“Eh, where do you want to go? Don't tell me, you want to go see Yuan? Rose, the Gavin family home is not just anyone can enter it.” said Kai who managed to make Rose stop his steps.
“Then I have to how?! There's no way I'm just sitting still. Praying alone can not cover my worries.” said Rose.
“Before I actually saw his condition firsthand, how could I eat and sleep in peace? My head may only be filled with questions about his condition, now even breathing it feels uncomfortable.” said Rose, again.
“Yeah god, is this karma for me for dating people who have a higher social status than me? This must be really a punishment for me for being shameless and also self-destructive, it's really sad.”.
Rose already knew that he could not meet Yuan easily. But he still had to look at Yuan at all costs, that's what Rose thought.
Then, Rose's tears seemed to flow profusely flooding her cheeks. The girl cried with her despair.
“The Gavin family home is indeed not arbitrary people can enter it. But have you two forgotten this? I am also a member of the Gavin family. So you take it easy Rose. As long as I'm around, you can freely go in and out of the house. I will take you there, today, this hour, this minute and this very second. Ayo” said Nana as she grabbed Rose's arm, inviting her friend to go with her to Yuan's house.

“Large master, you finally go home. The big lady has been asking when you come home.” said a waiter who still looked like he was in his twenties and above.
Ray glanced at the servant of his house,
“Where is my wife?” ray asked as he loosened his tie that felt like it was strangling his neck.
“There is in the room of young master Yuan.” replied the waiter.
After hearing the servant's answer, Ray immediately stepped foot to the place where the servant had said.
“Doctor Liam is still there too?” ray asked as he walked wide towards Yuan's room.
“Nothing, sir. Doctor Liam has been gone since half an hour ago.” replied the waiter.
“Alright, you can go back to your job.” Ray said as he took off his work coat, then he gave it to the waiter.
“Good big master.” said the waiter who then stopped following the footsteps of his big master who was getting wider and faster.
Ray seemed to step up his legs up the stairs made of marble.
He walked quickly to his son's room.
From a distance, Yuan's room door seemed to be wide open. Then several servants were seen coming out of the room and closing the door again.
“Big master.” said the servants with their heads bowed respectfully to Ray.
“What are you doing in Yuan room?” ask Ray.
“We deliver food sir.” replied one of the three maids.
“Food? Is Yuan conscious?” ask Ray, again.
“Already, but still looks limp and has no power. Therefore great mistress Ana and also mistress Calista told us to cook a nutritious meal for young master Yuan.” said one of the maids.
“Oh, good if you are aware. You can go.” said Ray who was immediately responded with a nod and speech ‘excuse’ from three servants of his house.
After that, Ray stepped back on his feet, opened Yuan's room, entered it, then closed it tightly.
“Remember the way home too finally? I thought you were lost to Wonderland until it took a long time to go home.” said Ana, who appeared to be sitting on the side of Yuan's bed.
The middle-aged woman currently looked like a madam who was ready to scold her slave.
“Already Ana, at least your husband has come home for the sake of his son, it is very good.” said Grandma Calista who happened to be in Yuan's room as well.
“No mother-in-law. He was coming home not for his son, but for fear of threats from me. Aye right? I know for a fact that you are more concerned with work affairs than the affairs of his own son.” Oceh Ana.
“Mommy come on, don't fuss. Yuan doesn't want to rest. After all, Yuan was only sick with an ordinary fever, there was no need to be accompanied by mommy, grandma and even daddy. This Yuan is a grown-up mom, embarrassed to know that until Juna's other friends know. They will later think that Yuan is a spoiled child.” Yuan said in a limp tone.
“Tuh hear what my son said. Ck, you don't make it too soft.” said Ray to his wife.
“What did you say earlier? Yuan, is he your son? It's delicious, don't talk carelessly. He's my son. I am the one who has been in pain and pain to give birth to her. You, what have you done for her? Can you provide facilities only? I was also able.” said Ana who seemed to be fighting for custody with her own legal husband.
“Mom, dad, please stop. Come on, Yuan needs some quiet to rest. So you two should be calm, instead of fighting over something as trivial as this. You guys are still my mommy and daddy. I am both your sons. So do not fight let alone fight like that. Yuan's headache saw it.” lamented Yuan.
Ana let out a sigh, she looked at Ray with a sour look, then after that turned to Yuan who now seemed to be quietly leaning on the head of the bed.
“Im sorry mommy yes. Do you still want to eat again? Is there anything you want?” ask Ana.
“Do not spoil it. After all, he was sick, not all the food he could eat. And also, not all desires can be obeyed. One thing you should remember, never say or ask questions like this ‘what do you want?’ that's very bad. Sometimes, there are times when you have to be firm, soft and also mid.” Ray said as he walked over to Yuan's bed.
“Do you feel better now?” ray asked when he got near the boy.
“Em, better than before.” replied Yuan.
“Thank God.” says Ray. The middle-aged man then extended his hand, he rubbed the top of Yuan's head gently and slightly manly.
“Cheal quickly. Daddy knows, this daddy's son must be strong, it won't be possible to be defeated by pain. So stand up your body and get well soon, promise me.” said Ray.
“Em, I promise. I will definitely recover as soon as possible.” Yuan said.
