"Who are you?" ask Sari to Miana. He frowned feeling he had recognized Miana somewhere. The eyes are fixed on the temple Miana in gauze wrap and covered with bandages.
Miana was confused as to what to answer. His presence here is indeed brought by residents to get treatment, just like Arga. Then, how will he explain to the grandmother of his friend, this?
"S_I'm his friend, Oma."
"That's not what I mean. I came and you are here. Are you the arga's impersonator?" hardik Sari with irregular breath because of guessing something.
Sofyan continued to mutter soothingly while still wiping his wife's vibrating back to better control her emotions that began to surface.
"I was in that place, Ta_"
"You know! I raised Arga from childhood. He's more than my own son. I won't let an ant hurt him. But you_"
"Enough, Oma. Calm. It's in the hospital. Arga needs calmness to quickly wake up. If Oma makes a fuss here, there, Oma will be expelled by the officers."
Sari stared intently at Sofyan and brushed off the hand that had calmed her. "Well! How can it calm down. Arga is Oma's favorite. There are many things that Oma went through with her. Not Opa, Dharma or Sarah. So, if there's anything with Arga, Oma is the sickest here," Sari said, releasing the tightness and tears that run through the river. If possible, let him feel the pain rather than see his favorite grandson lying helpless.
Miana felt, the corner of her eyes dewy. Tired of hearing the expression of the woman who kept shedding her tears. Not noticeably, he also shed tears that came out of two corners of his eyes that he had been holding since.
Sofyan takes Sari to sit on a long sofa on the side of Arga's ward. Sofyan now approached Miana who was still standing glued to look frightened. That cheerful and smiling face was now not there.
"Try to explain what happened, if it's true you were there. And ..." Sofyan realizes that Miana has a wound on her temple. "And how can you also be hurt?"
Miana nodded, more on convincing herself. He told me everything he had experienced and some of the witnesses who helped him earlier. That really made Sari who was sitting on the sofa switch to sit closer to Arga and increasingly sobbing to wrap her hands on Arga's body.
No more words came out of the mouth of the woman who was more than half a century old. There, only sobs with a trembling back, looking at Arga's face partially covered with gauze.
Sofyan approaches Sari and returns to calm his wife after understanding Miana's confession. "Oma, Opa is sure that your grandson is not a weak person. He'll soon be conscious. Oma heard it for herself, right? Arga was trying to help the girl. He's just being unlucky," softly comforted Sofyan.
"I'm sorry. Because of me, Arga became like this." Miana ventured closer to Arga's gurney and stopped beside Arga's blanket-covered legs.
"Here you go, this is a disaster. We both pray that Arga will come to his senses soon." Sofyan tried to smile. "Now, you better go home. It's too late. Your parents must be looking for you" Sofyan said.
Miana smiled smirkingly but was also a little relieved. Although there were no messages or phone calls from Surya or Miranti, at least, a little calmer. Because with this, papa will not know if he just came home from work.
The door of the room opened in a follow-up with the doctor and nurse and Bi Num trailing behind him. Miana was relieved that there was finally someone accompanying her in this situation.
Bi Num immediately hugged Miana, while a doctor examined Arga.
The doctor explains to Sari and Sofyan about Arga's wound and tells her to press the button next to the monitor if Arga wakes up. After Sofyan and Sari nodded in understanding, the doctor and the nurse passed from there.
Bin Num was still faithfully standing beside Miana with eyes that were wet. Occasionally he also examined the face and scanned the body of Miana, the child of his employer who had been treated since he was one year old with a feeling of death. "Sorry, Auntie didn't tell papa or mama. Afraid they're panicking and papa's back is depressed." Bi Num revealed the actions he took unilaterally.
Miana nodded her head in understanding the sign of agreeing to it. Meanwhile, he tried to calm Ms. Num that he was okay and promised to tell her about this later.
Initially Miana will wait for Arga to come to her senses. However, seeing his condition still wearing a shop uniform and a sore back, made him obey Sofyan and Bi Num's persuasion.
Finally, Miana and Bi Num returned home in a taxi. On the way Miana recounted this accident to Bi Num. Miana is also very grateful to Bi Num who has come to pick her up and also apologizes to the Arga family on her behalf. Although Miana herself has apologized to the Arga family.
Once home, things are quiet. Mama and Papa must have gone to sleep, Miana thought. With a slow movement and try not to make the slightest sound that will disturb his family. Miana went into the room in the follow Bi Num who told Miana to lie down first. While Bi Num will take warm water to clean Miana's body.
Not long after, Bi Num returned with a container and a soft cloth inside.
"Miana clean it herself, Bi," Miana refused as Bi Num was preparing to clean her body.
Miana glanced at the wall clock that indicated the time of midnight. "Auntie just rest. Auntie's going to sell tomorrow, right?"
"Sure, don't you want to help Auntie?" tanya Bi Num is still trying to convince Miana and gets a trinket from Miana.
Miana undressed and left her underwear. He wiped the painful back and switched to other parts. Beside him was a towel that had been prepared by Bi Num. "Silver also turned out. There may be abrasions" said Miana. He grabbed a towel and approached the closet and picked up a piece of sleeping dress. Change his clothes and then put the clothes that were worn on the clothes basket.
Miana spread her body, her mind still fixed on Arga who was still unconscious when she left him to go home earlier.
"Thank you, Ga. I'm looking for it."
"But even you're the one who's wretched."
"If I hadn't been bored. Sure, this is not going to happen."
Reluctantly closed eyes, he turned to a flat object beside the pillow. Then type a message on Hamdan, to ask for help picking up his bike tomorrow, which has been tipped by one of the shops near the bridge.
Miana remembered that she had only been obedient to the people who helped her to leave her motorcycle as well as the Arga motorbike at a shop not far from the bridge, before she was taken to the hospital with Arga. While he was wounded, he still thought of the only treasure that Papa had given him. He will not let him in new problems again if he loses his favorite bike.
Miana glanced at Bi Num who was currently sleeping on the floor mattress. Inwardly, he said a lot of thanks to that figure. A woman, with no blood relation to her, yet considers her like her own child while taking care of her. He removed his disappointment in Miranti, who was his own mother and even became ignorant when he knew he had not come home until late.
"Akh, that was my attitude. I'm used to it too. So why am I sad just because of that," comfort yourself.
Back the bitter smile reflected on Miana's tiny lips. He thought about how to cover the wound that was so visible on his temple. He hopes that papa will continue to work tomorrow so that he does not know his condition.

Miana opened her eyes as papa's voice spoke from behind the bedroom door. I told him to have breakfast together. However, he tried to find an excuse to not be able to get out of the room because he was not feeling well. And ask papa for breakfast first.
"You sick? Papa, come in, yes" bargained Surya.
"No, Pa. Miana wants to rest," refused Miana.
"Do you need to see a doctor? Let mama accompany you, yes!" Surya is still trying to persuade Miana.
"Ah, papa's overrated. At most also regular dizziness will be cured if you take medicine! Let's have breakfast!" Miranti passing by reminded Surya.
Lucky Surya doesn't force anymore. And return to the dining table with Miranti and Sisil who are tidy.
Miana cursed herself because of the bad luck, making her realize one thing. He had to get ready to go to the hospital to see Arga. And again he forgot one thing, which was to help Bi Num prepare his wares.
The bag and other equipment Miana had prepared. He examined the stitch wounds on his temples, carefully cleaning them with alcohol. He deliberately opened the bandage so as not to attract attention if he came out later. It gives a special liquid wound and overwrites the wound with a small gauze and covers it with a packing plaster only so as not to be conspicuous. Arrange her hair to help cover the plaster on her face.
Miana exited the room, her goal was the bathroom. Surya , Miranti and Sisil who look like they have finished eating.
"Miana, ' call Miranti.
'Last me, ' inwardly Miana.
"Mama and Sisil want to shop first. Later you help Bi Num tidy up this, yes. We do our duty" said Miranti.
"Yes, Ma," Miana replied without turning around.
"Papa also to the office, there's overtime, you know. Don't forget to have breakfast, take the medicine, Mia." Sofyan chimed in and moved from his seat. Followed by Sisil and Miranti.
"Be careful, Pa," said Miana.
'Uh, the leg," continued Miana who was still standing leaning on the bathroom door.
