All night Ana could not close her eyes. He kept awake with his mind fixed on only one person. Who else if not Tirta. A man who is often nosy and attentive to him. The man who is patient waits for his unrequited welcome.
There is a bitter feeling in Ana. He regretted their last debate that resulted in a thinning distance is now back stretched. Even too far to go.
From the night of the debate, Tirta stayed away. Completely away. Even the man who used to visit his master's house never showed his nose. As if trying to get away and avoid him.
"What did I say at that time so outrageous? Ah, my words are indeed outrageous. Why would I talk to her that harshly? He has been very good to me. Why should I be angry right away? I should have asked first why did he do that? I was stupid," he muttered.
Then he remembered what Freya said when he picked up Abidzar's phone.
'What Mas? Is Tirta critical? Tirta's ribs cracked and her right arm was broken? Innalilahi wa innailaihi roji. Then ... how is Mr Tirta now?'
'So he's going to be operated on? '
'May the operation go well, Mas. Say hello to Aunt Riana. Surely Aunt Riana is very sad at this time.'
"O Allah, what is the current state of Ak Tirta? Let's hope the operation goes well," Ana murmured with choking breath.
Over time, his chest tightened. The raging heart made him really restless. He was really worried about Tirta. It was very desirable that he immediately went to the hospital and saw for himself the condition of Tirta, but what people said later, he thought. People will think strangely of him. Moreover, the people knew he was just a maid in Abidzar's residence.
Ana was moved in her tears. He really regretted their last meeting because of his stubbornness. If he could be wise and control his emotions, nothing would happen.
Ana's chest feels tight. There was a fear of loss that burst into his chest cavity. Slowly but surely, he realized the reason he felt his days were emptying. Slowly he realized, he was afraid of losing the figure of a man who would accept it as it is without caring about his social status as a maid.

The operation went well and now Tirta has been moved to the recovery room. But until now Tirta never opened his eyes. Makes everyone feel anxious. Though it has been almost 1x24 hours since Tirta finished surgery, but Tirta still at home closed eyes make people more anxious.
"Why hasn't my son regained consciousness, too, doc? The doctor said the operation went smoothly and successfully, but why ...he has not been conscious as well until now?" ask Riana worriedly.
"I'm sorry, ma'am, according to the results of the examination of the mother's son was traumatized by the impact. If within 1x24 hours the mother's son is unconscious as well, with a heavy heart, the mother's son is declared in a coma."
Lemas already feet Riana. His bones seemed to soften until he was unable to uphold them. Riana sat down while crying bitterly. Lamenting the increasingly alarming fate of his son.
This news reached Ana's ears. In her room, Ana covered her mouth while crying bitterly. Just like Riana and the others, Ana was afraid of losing the man. A man who slowly but surely managed to heal his heart wounds and sow love until it grew and flourished in his heart and soul.
"Aac Tirta ... Ak Tirta, please, forgive me. Hang on, heal, get up. I ... I'm waiting for you. I .. I miss you."
Ana's days were clouded like a cloud of gray. Freya also realized that. But he can't pretentiously advise or comfort Ana. Moreover, he did not know clearly how their relationship and the problems between them.
After a week in a coma, Tirta finally regained consciousness. All members of the family including Abidzar and Freya also rejoiced.
"Darling, Mas has good news" exclaimed Abidzar who had just returned home from work.
"What good news?" the Freya throne is curious.
"That, Mas went to visit Tirta, and whispered something to Tirta's ear. Suddenly Tirta responded by moving her finger. So Mas quickly called the doctor and Alhamdulillah, Tirta is now unconscious," he said enthusiastically.
"God willing, Thank God, God" cried Freya to be happy.
Similarly, a girl who hid behind a curtain, he muttered the sentence hamdalah as an expression of gratitude because Tirta had regained consciousness.
"Emang Mas whisikkin what the hell until Kak Tirta responded to that kayak? Must be weird, huh?" freya's accusation made Abidzar chuckle.
"Tell me in the room only" Abidzar said when he realized Ana was not far from where they were talking. Abidzar, who was impatient to tell the story, immediately pulled Freya's arm into their room.
"So what do you whisper? I'm curious."
Abidzar laughed amusedly at his own memory of his earlier disgust in the hospital.
The flashback
"Assalamu'alaikum, Tan" Abidzar said as he entered Tirta's ward.
"Wa'alaikumussalam, Bi. Straight from the office?" riana asked who was guarding Tirta alone at the time.
"Yes, Tan. Oh yeah tab, how's Tirta doing? Is there progress?" Abidzar stood beside the gurney, where Tirta lay with some medical equipment still attached to his body.
Riana sighed while shaking her head, "none. He still seems to be at home with his long sleep."
Afterwards, Abidzar and Riana fell silent. Until finally Riana spoke again because she wanted to buy drinks in the hospital cafeteria.
"Bi, can you please accompany Tirta for a moment? Auntie wants to buy a drink downstairs.
"What if Abi bought it, Tan?" bargain Abidzar.
"Ah, no, no. Let Auntie herself wash her eyes," said Riana while chuckling. Abidzar also nodded. Riana soon left Abidzar, who was guarding Tirta.
After Riana left, Abidzar pulled the chair beside the gurney and sat his butt there.
"Hey bro, how do you feel so good about sleeping? How many days, but you seem to be sleeping. Be careful, loe," Abidzar began to invite Tirta to speak. Despite not getting a response, Abidzar did not give up. He kept asking Tirta to talk.
"Loe wants to sleep for how long? Very nice loe, I was busy doing everything, while loe was good to sleep. I cut loe's salary, just found out." Abidzar who basically does not like to talk a lot until his own confusion must say what, but he still tried to invite Tirta to speak hoping the man gave a response.
"Ck .. response cake, Ta. Loe guess my mouth is not tired ngajak loe talk continue like gini. Yes, I went back. Uh wait, I want to tell you something. Actually I don't know if this is important to you, but as a good cousin, I'll just know." Abidzar suddenly grinned and then brought his lips closer to Tirta's ears. "Tempo the day I saw my neighbor's son with whom Ana met. Keep saying, they want to walk today. I think that guy likes Ana. They fit. That guy is cute too. Anyway they are very compatible, one is beautiful, the other is handsome. Clop anyway."
After saying that, Abidzar re-enforced his back while smiling meaningfully. Suddenly he saw the movement of Tirta's finger. Though it was slow, Abidzar realized it. He also pressed the button on the wall above the headboard bed. Within seconds, doctors and nurses arrived and moved after Abidzar said what he saw.
The doctor immediately did an examination and Abidzar's smile instantly broke when he saw Tirta slowly opening her eyelids. It turns out that this big influence of the name Ana on Tirta. Abidzar believed that Tirta loved Ana, but what about Ana? Abidzar doesn't know. Even if they love each other, why do they seem to be fighting each other? Are they avoiding each other now? And why are they moving away from each other now? Did Ana reject Tirta so raw that Tirta was heartbroken and ended up like this?
Abidzar breathed a sigh of rage. Too much speculation flashed in his mind. But he doesn't know which one is right. What Abidzar hopes for now is only the healing of the cousin then can see again the joy of the man as before.
"Bi, why are you outside? What happened to Tirta, Bi? Tirta is okay, right? Bi, what ...what happened to your cousin, Bi,? Say it! Don't shut up!" peekik Riana panicked. Especially when he saw a nurse seemed to rush in and out of the room where his son was.
"Auntie calm down, yeah, Tan. We wait for the doctor to come out. I hope the doctor comes out soon."
"But how can Aunty calm down, Bi? Tell Aunt how can Aunt calm down when the condition of aunt's son is not okay?" cry Riana again with the roar of tears that have soaked the cheeks.
"Tan, Abi saw Tirta's finger moving. Even Tirta's eyelids had moved like they wanted to open. For that, Tirta called a doctor. Hopefully after this, Tirta will be completely awake, Tan?" said Tirta softly.
