“Halo, Alia?” tiara slowly. He was afraid that his voice would reach Sundari's ears. He is still in the hospital, however, and is in working hours.
Actually, Tiara would wait for night to call her sister. However, when the phone was activated some time after Prabu returned, many missed calls from the sister. He was afraid, if Alia brought bad news. Therefore, Tiara decided to immediately contact from the bathroom. After all, there was a nun guarding Sundari in the room.
“Halo, Brother? Brother healthy?” Alia's voice sounded hoarse across there.
Hearing that, Tiara's heart felt slashed. Meanwhile, his heart was racing. He was not prepared with any bad friends. For, all the efforts he makes now are for the healing of his beloved mother.
“Why are you, Alia? You cry?” Tiara urged, impatiently.
“Mother, Sis ... Iu—“
“Mother? I—bu why?” Various bad prejudices flashed in Tiara's mind. Why mother?
“Mom can already stand, Brother. Last ... earlier Mother could walk more than six steps.”
I heard happy from across there. The news that made Tiara decays, and sits in a closet. He patted his chest, giving a lot of gratitude in his tears.
“B—really?” Tiara asked in a barely audible voice. There was a happy moment, when the good news awaited finally came.
“What Sister is okay?” ask Alia again.
“Ya .. I'm good, Alia. How are you yourself? Don't miss studying. We have to maintain our achievements to be able to go to college with the scholarship track.”
“Kak ...” Alia's voice sounded doubtful. “No need to think about that. I ... I'll help Tiara Kak work. Not going to college is okay, Kak.”
“Alia, don't say that! You have to go to college, and I'm sure .. we can get through this, okay?”
Tiara said confidently. He would do anything, so that Alia could continue her education, unlike her. If anyone has to sacrifice for the family, it is he himself, the firstborn. A figure that must have sturdy shoulders like a reef.
“Kak .. let Kak Tiara work alone as now, I feel no use.” Alia's cry sounded increasingly slashing at the end of the phone. “Every Sister sends money, and instantly runs out to eat the same treatment Mother, I ...”
“Alia .. that's what a brother is for. You take care of Mom, and Brother who works. Brother even feels sinful because he cannot help you take care of Mom. So, please don't say that, honey?” Tiara wiped away the tears on her cheeks, and tried to develop a smile as she spoke.
He knew, now they were all in a difficult time. And Tiara hopes, news about the health development of the mother will be a good start for the family.
“You ... is the greatest sister in the world, Alia.” Tiara said again. “When children your age play and rejoice with their colorful world, you spend the day at home. Study, take care of Mom, and do all the housework. You ... are the greatest child!”
“Kakak too. Brother is the greatest brother and son ever!”
The two laughed, each with a cry. Tiara wiped away the remaining tears, and intended to end the call. It had been more than ten minutes he was in the bathroom, afraid that Sundari would wake up and search.
‘Small be careful, yes. All the news Mom later I deliver leta WA.’ Thus the message sent Alia, accompanied by a photo with the mother who smiled, although her lips slightly tilted.
Tiara clutched the phone to her chest, before putting it in the pocket of the uniform she was wearing. For a moment he washed his slightly puffy face, then came out.
However, how surprised Tiara was, when she found Prabu standing upright in the bathroom doorway. The man stared at her intensely, from head to toe.
“T—tuan?” Tiara greeted with round eyes. A moment later he lowered his head and said, “m—maaf, I was—“
“I told you, right, I came home early today?”
“What?” Tiara looked up, looking at the tall man who was only a step ahead.
“I'll accompany you keep Eyang.” Prabu retreated, and gave Tiara room to leave.
“I told the nurse to leave, if that's what you're looking for.” Prabu said, as he saw Tiara turning left and right.
“Told away? Isn't it Mr who asked the hospital to give the Madam special assistance?”
“No need. Tonight I will sleep here, accompany you.” Prabu headed to the small closet in the corner of the room, and pulled out a paper bag.
“Friendship? No need, Sir. Enough sisters only.” Tiara said politely.
Prabu approached, and directed the paper bag at Tiara. “I asked Nurma to prepare your needs. Take a bath. From yesterday you did not change clothes, ‘kan?”
Tiara blushed as she received an object from the master. “Ah .. thank you, Sir. Then, I'm sorry.”
Tiara retreated, and rushed to take a bath. It was so fresh, when the cold water hit his entire body. Plus the toiletries given by Prabu emit a fragrant aroma and calm his nerves that are tense because of lack of sleep since last night.
Once finished, he opened the paper bag from Prabu. There's a deodorant, two clothes stels and some underwear. He frowned, when he did not recognize all of those things. However, when he took self-care, the size felt right. In fact, he really likes the smell of lotion contained in the bag.
Tiara looked at her reflection in the mirror, and found her left cheek slightly bluish. The rubbing of that part, also the corner of the lips. He involuntarily smiled with a thumping chest, when he remembered that this morning Prabu dyed him in that place.
However, he immediately dismissed all thoughts that were not-no. Although there are flowers in the heart, still Tiara knows himself. Reaching Prabu, is a dream that is too high, and difficult to just reach.
Upon exiting the bathroom, Tiara finds Prabu opening a suit, and hangs him in a hanger. Next, the man unbuttoned the white shirt one by one, leaving the upper body not wrapped in anything. Instantly Tiara turned around with a red met face.
“Oh, yes. Looks like Nurma forgot to put my towel in. Can I use your towel?” Prabu turned his head towards the dumbfounded Tiara, looking at her.
“Ap—apa?” tanya Tiara broke Prabu's wishful thinking.
“I borrow your towel.” Prabu passed by Tiara, and just walked into the bathroom.
Mr Prabu why? From the morning his attitude was strange!
Tiara shook her head, then headed to Sundari's bed.

“Eyang's situation is good enough. It's just that it's still weak.”
Hadi explained, while doing a small check on Sundari. Prabu immediately called Hadi, when the grandmother woke up some time ago.
“Nothing serious. It could have happened yesterday because Eyang was exhausted. Could you guys be out on a walk?” Hadi looked at Prabu, and found his best friend nodding.
“Lately this eye of yours is just excited, Hadi.” Sundari interrupted weakly. “Since there is Tiara, I have even eaten more, and can sleep without taking medicine.” Sundari added, while looking towards Tiara. The girl is standing by Prabu's side now.
“Without medicine?” Hadi looked at Tiara and Sundari alternately.
“Iya.” Sundari sighed. “And I felt healthier, when Tiara replaced some medicine with fruit and vegetable juice.”
This time, Hadi looked at Tiara intently. Seeing the doctor's gaze full of intimidation, Tiara felt the need to give an explanation.
“Before, I'm sorry, Doc. But, there are some references that I read, related to healing without medication. Then, I find out the benefits and content of some medicine madam, and replace it with fruit and vegetables. I think—“
“Reading is not enough, Miss. Sometimes you need to know the condition of the patient first. What you do can be dangerous. It could be, what happened to Eyang yesterday was caused by the negligence, because Eyang did not get the right medicine!” Hadi crossed paths, replying to Tiara's sentence at length.
“I'm sorry, Doctor. But, really, I didn't mean anything. It's just, seeing every day Madam took that much medicine, I became—“
“All the drugs prescribed by the doctor already have a dose, Miss. So, you don't need—“
“Hadi ...” Hadi had not finished debating Tiara, as Sundari interrupted. “I think Tiara is not wrong. After all, taking as many medications as prescribed throughout the rest of life is boring.” Sundari smiled at the end of his sentence.
Meanwhile, different from usual, Prabu just listen. He didn't expect Tiara to think that far for Sundari. In fact, as a granddaughter he never thought of finding another alternative, other than to check the old woman with many capsules of medicine every day.
“One thing I understand, that even vitamins, it's synthetic, Doc. Why consume factory-made, if at home all available in abundance?”
Tiara is still trying to argue. He is very sure, if fresh fruits and vegetables are the antidote, also the best immune formers, if processed correctly.
“Do you not think that this Miss is a smart girl?” Prabu said to Hadi suddenly. Of course, it made Tiara blush. I didn't expect the master to defend him.
“Alright, Eyang. Please rest. If there are any complaints, pass them on to the sisters, no matter how small.” Hadi advised, closing the visitation session.
After the examination was completed, Hadi came out followed by the nurse who had helped. Leave Tiara and Prabu to accompany Sundari.
“Fine Mistress breaks.”
Tiara patted Sundari's blanket, then filled the therapeutic scent oil into the disfuser. He turned off the lights, leaving one in the corner of the room. Because Sundari can not sleep if the room is too bright.
Meanwhile, Prabu who was sitting on the sofa seemed to concern himself with a laptop. Behind him, an urban expanse resembling a firefly was visible from the open curtains.
“You also sleep. Those eye bags can make you look like a panda.” Prabu said without lifting his face.
“Sleep in that mattress only, later I wake up if Eyang needs something,” he added again.
Tiara who had intended to lie on the sofa, now headed for a mattress on the other side of the room on the orders of the master. He lay down and pulled the blanket to the chest. Tiara did not realize that Prabu was observing her in silence.
Despite being awkward in the same room as Prabu, Tiara fell asleep as well, shortly after lying down. This day he was really tired, and had only fallen asleep two hours since yesterday.
After finishing the job, Prabu checked Sundari's situation once again. After that, he headed for the sofa. However, his steps came to a halt as he saw Tiara curled up even more in his sleep. It appears that the girl is cold, because only a thin blanket is left for her to wear.
Out of nowhere, Prabu headed for the 120-centimeter mattress, where Tiara lay quietly. At first he just wanted to lend me a thicker blanket. But then he moved with his pillow.
Observing a truly sound Tiara, for some reason there was a sense of peace and guilt in Prabu's heart at one time. He covered the girl, and lay down. Not only that, he also gave his arm as a pillow, letting the wriggling and inching Tiara embrace him unconsciously.
This is not the first time Prabu has felt a girl's body clinging to him. However, feeling Tiara embrace him at this moment, there was a sense that was bubbling in her heart. Prabu doesn't even understand what that weird feeling is. To be sure, he had just felt it at this moment, accompanying a thump in the chest.
Time passes midnight, when Sundari is awake. He smiled faintly, when he found the view on the floor mattress, not far from him. There, in the dimness, was seen by her sleeping Tiara, snuggling comfortably in her granddaughter's arms.
“Are you beginning to become aware of his whereabouts, Prabu? Did I finally manage to make you understand the meaning of sincerity?” mumbled Sundari slowly, to himself.
