Asking You In Every Bow
27. The Fifteen Years Ago

Everyone felt more worried and sad, especially Baron who heard the news of his sister who had to be operated on. Everyone again chose to sit in the waiting room chair, while Ramdan actually walked towards the hospital hallway with a feeling that seemed very chaotic.

Fatimah, who was aware of her sister's movements, was worried and chose to approach Ramdan who now looks moody on a waiting chair that looks lonely. Ramdan momentarily stepped up and smashed his fist against the hospital wall, creating a loud enough sound.

Fatimah ran over to get to her sister.

"Ramand! What's wrong with you?" now Ramdan is in the arms of Fatimah. Ramdan's cry broke out in just seconds.

Fatimah was silent for a moment. "You crying?" fatimah asked, but Ramdan still cried bitterly.

Fatimah stroked the back of her sister who looked fragile. Fatimah let her sister wet her hijab with tears flowing from her eyes.

"Rosephhar, Ram. Tell your current situation to Brother" said Fatimah who is still trying to calm the heart of Ramdan who also looks chaotic.

The cry of Ramdan slowly subsided. Pulling back his body that hugged the body of the brother. Then they both sat on the waiting chairs. Ramdan began to tell everything to Fatimah, who had always been faithful as a place to tell stories since they were children.

"I'm sorry, Brother. I don't know very well why I'm this weak and stupid."

"You mean?"

"I just know that I've loved Naura since we were very early. Does Big Brother still remember the past back then? When I first got to know Naura and the four of us playing together?"

"Four?" instead of answering questions from Ramdan, Fatimah asked back by repeating one of Ramdan's words.

(Fifteen years ago)

An eight-year-old girl suddenly fell down while running. His knee was hit causing abrasions and felt sore and bleed. The girl was crying.

"Naura, what's wrong with you? Let me help you to treat," said the boy who ran near Naura—the fallen daughter. Both ages are so close.

"Wait for me, and stay here." said Ramdan before turning around and running away. While Naura just nodded and started grimacing due to the injury on the knee.

A few minutes later, Ramdan returned with a white box that Naura did not know his name.

"What box did you bring, Bim?" ask Naura.

"I don't know. But Umi always used the contents in this box when Kak Fatim and I were injured. So I brought this box to heal your wounds." Ramdan said after sitting down and began to open the white box. No one knew the name of the box, as they were still very plain.

After giving the drops of red medicine to the cotton swab, Ramdan immediately attached them to Naura's knee. Naura grimaced and cried as the pain hit her knee.

"Don't cry, Naura. I'll treat your wound immediately. That way, your wounds will heal quickly." said Ramdan staring at Naura with a slice, as if feeling the pain.

Naura's knee has been treated. Ramdan was relieved of that. It seemed that Naura was very happy because the wound on her knee no longer hurt.

"Thank you, Bim."

"Thank you back." Ramdan returned that sweet smile.

The sound of a car being ignited, they immediately turned their attention to the origin of the sound. Their faces changed immediately.

"It looks like Dad's ready to go home. I'm going home" said Naura.

"I'll wait for you to come back to play with me, Naura." said Ramdan.

"I am too."
