Jefri POV's.
Shortly after Tika left to deliver Mamahnya and Nita and Jordy home, I decided to take my cigarette box. Pulling a piece out of the package and then igniting it.
Yes, as always, all hospital regulations must be prohibited to smoke around the area. So I decided to smoke in the outdoor parking area of the hospital.
Sitting on the sidewalk of the parking lot line, smoking my cigarette and then exhaling. My mind is so fucked. Mom's request that we eat together, it really made me think about it over and over again.
FLASHBACKS
"You know long ago you didn't want to stand in your Papa's shadow. You always want to be independent. Even during college, you always refuse if Papa sends money to your account. But now the conditions are different, Dul," Mama said when our dinner was over.
"Ma, I can't leave my job so alone" I said with great emphasis but still with a polite tone.
"But this is your own Papa asking. At least until Papa you're cured, Dul," Mama said.
"Trus once Papa recovers, you think it'll be easy for me to go back to my job now? What Mama asked for, I resigned, not permission, Ma!"
FLASHBACK OFF
I exhaled the cigarette smoke I had originally inhaled. My request this time really made me think over and over again. It even makes me worried. I took my second cigarette, I whipped it back.

Jerry POV's.
I sat alone with my mom. Previously I was difficult to find a relaxing time like this, even in conditions like this.
"Mom talked to Dul?" I slowly looked at Mama.
My mother looked back at me, "Have. Your brother is a stubborn man. It's nothing new for Mama to face that mindset."
"Love him time, Ma. I'm sure with Papa's condition like this, he must have rethought."
"Yes, Mama thought so. Maybe Mama should ask Tika for help, she can definitely make Dul change his mind."
"Why did Mama say anything this afternoon?" ask again.
"Papa asked Dul to change him while in the company. Papa's rival is too strong," Mama explained with a straight forward look.
"Why didn't Mama ask Mr. Hardi for help? He's Papa's assistant."
"When my mom first got here. Mr. Hardi was given a mandate with Papa on the way. He said Mr. Hardi could not divulge anything about this project, even with Mama though," said Mama who then turned to me, "Pak Hardi chose silence. I don't know what your father's hiding."
I exhaled a rough breath.
"Hopefully Papa you are healthy, most do not want to get out of here. Let Mama take care of her at home." Mama added.
Not long after, Dul came. Sit next to Mama. Back to the back of the chair. His head was leaned against the wall behind the long chair we were sitting on.
I know my brother very well. He is a very stubborn man. He was the most anti to take care of Papa's company. Although actually he knows, one day the company must be he who holds. But he always dodged. Forcing me to hold the company in his place.
I knew it would be hard. So I decided to stay away from this family problem. Marry Nita, the woman I love. Working in another company that eventually led me to a fairly high position. So that Dul or Papa will no longer force me to join the company.
"Mama wants to go in first, who knows your Papa is awake again," said Mama while standing up and entering the ICCU room.
I saw Dul still sitting in the same position as before. Eyes closed. I know he's in a state of turmoil. Worrying with all kinds of choices before his eyes.
I dare not talk to him. I put my back on the back of the chair. I breathe deeply and then I exhale.

Tika POVs.
Arriving at Nita's house,
"I'm direct, right? Nganter Mamah again the problem," I said when Nita opened the car door.
I lowered the car window so I could interact with him. Jordy is asleep in Nita's arms. He slowly walked out and closed the car door.
"careful huh? You're back in the hospital?" ogre.
"Yes, out of your breath Mamah, I went home to change clothes."
"So be careful, if there's any news."
I nodded and waved my hand.
"We're home, huh, Nita?" pamit Mamah's.
"Yes, Aunt, be careful." Nita immediately brought Jordy into the house.
Then I closed my car window. And I took the gas pedal back to Mamah's house. Along the way, Mom was silent. Sometimes I look, stay the same. Mamah's gaze poured out the front window of the car.
"May?" call me.
Mamah did not budge, her gaze was still straight, but as if empty. Mamah must be daydreaming, my mind.
I touched Mamah's arm slowly, then focused back on the steering wheel of the car. At first glance I saw Mamah surprised at the touch of my hand. Then look at me.
"Why?" ask Mamah slowly.
"What daydream?" suhutku who occasionally stared at Mamah flash then refocused on the steering wheel of the car.
"Mamah so want Papah you first. Your mother-in-law right now must be in a terrible state of mind. Mama has never been all that race" explained Mamah.
"So that's what made Mamah from earlier?"
Mom looked at me, sometimes I looked back.
"You've passed between Mamah home, directly contact your brother, yes, from earlier he did not mamah mulu."
"Max?" my many.
"Yes, Max. He asked you, nanyain Jefri and nanyain Papa Jefri condition also."
Then we entered the courtyard of Mamah's house. Slowly, Mama got out of the car. I opened my window, Mamah walked to the side of the open window where I was sitting.
"Yes, you want me to send you some food?"
"Don't do it, Mama's cooking this afternoon."
"Well, I'm going home?" pamittu.
"Yes, be careful on the road. Don't forget to watch their meal all?" mom's Message.
I nodded for sure, confirming my answer.
"Go home, Mah. Bye."
Mamah raised her right hand, waving at me. Immediately I stepped back on the gas pedal of this car to my house. Take some clothes for me and Jefri. All I want to take a shower, clean my body that hasn't bathed since noon.
Arriving at my house, I immediately rushed to do all the activities I wanted to do. Until I finally remembered Mamah's message to contact Max. After I finished taking a shower and preparing some of my clothes as well as Jefri's clothes, I took my phone. Then call Max.
Tuout..
Tuout..
Clik..
"Hallo?" greet Max over there.
"Where?" ask me without a stale base.
"By coming to Haikal's house, I'm here now. You're alone, aren't you?"
"Yes, 10 minutes I'll be there."
"OK." Max then turned off his phone.
I'm getting curious, what exactly does Max want to say?
Why wouldn't Max say it if I was near Jefri?
Does this have anything to do with Jefri?
I was rushing to clear up my needs and Jefri's tomorrow. Whether we're leaving for work tomorrow or not, obviously everything I need to take with me. I put all those necessities in a thin cloth bag. Then I grabbed my phone and my bag back immediately, hurriedly walked down the stairs and locked the door.
I put the cloth bag in the back seat. Then I refocused on the steering wheel and then I turned the engine on, I stepped on the gas pedal, stuck the gas into Haikal's house.
Many times my focus on the steering wheel was distracted by my own thoughts. I don't know, I feel like something's wrong that's likely to happen.
I remember Jefri. Yeah, I had to call her, say if I was a little late back, otherwise she would be worried. My inner.
Next to my hand I tried to reach my phone, which I put in the seat next to me when I entered the car. I parked this car in the yard next to Haikal's house. Yes, I've arrived.
I saw both of my brother's cars parked neatly in front of me. I refocused on my phone, called Jefri.
Tuutt..
Tuutt..
Clik..
"Haloo, honey?" my broom.
"Yes?" he sounded lethargic.
"I'm a little late, aren't I? I want to take a shower first."
"Yes, papa. You guys buy gih, I forgot that you and Mamah must eat."
"Yes, I'll buy you a meal. You want me to buy you something?"
"No, it will be easy. In front of here is a minimum of twenty-four hours."
"Oh yes, that's it."
"Yes, you relax, don't rush."
"Yes, honey. Yes huh? Muuacch."
"Muaacch."
I disconnected our phone, grabbed my bag and got out of the car. Walk quickly to the front door of Haikal's house. I pressed the bell repeatedly, until Haikal finally appeared to open the door and told me to come in.
I see it empty, in Haikal's house there is no sign that Max exists.
"Side," said Haikal, who opened his refrigerator, picked up a few cold drinks and then rattled me to go to the side porch.
Max greeted me with a serious face and a finger was cool holding a cigarette that was still burning and smoky steaming.
I pull a chair in front of Max. I haven't seen Max in a long time. His manner and his bossy-looking manner are in my eyes now. I don't know what he'll say.
Haikal placed a few bottles of cold drink on the table in front of me which limited my sitting distance to Max. Then he grabbed a bottle, opened it, drank it while walking towards the edge of the porch fence, rendering.
"Jefri know if you went here?" max asked to break the mood.
I just shook my head. This condition confused me. There's what's really going on. Why is this atmosphere so gripping for me?
