"Yes. The guy who used to come along. I, Hana, Siska, Sabrina, Ana." replied Amira as she put some snacks in her mouth.


"Well, is that like a doang?" ask Imran.


"Huh? Lo mean? Yeah yeah, who else do you want?" Amira asked back.


Across the phone, Imran refused to answer. Five seconds later, Amira remembers something.


"Oh, yeah. Except Maura. She was unable to attend because her sister was in the hospital. So Maura can't come." said Amira. His mouth was incessantly entered by snacks.


There was no response from Imran a few seconds later, making Amira suspect that the phone connection has been cut off. But after looking at the phone screen, it looks like the phone connection is still going on. Amira put her phone back on her earlobe as Imran spoke again.


"Where is the hospital?" ask Imran.


"He said, in Bogor." replied Amira who sounded unclear because her mouth spoke while chewing a snack.


"What's? What did you say? What is clear dong." said Imrang who actually sounded cold. Amira was surprised by him a little.


"Sorry, I'm having a snack again. Oh, yes, he said the hospital in the Bogor area." repeated Amira sedikt clarifying his sentence.


"Oh." said Imran from across the phone. And the voice call ended. Of course ended by Imran, because Amira was very busy with her mouth and snacks, especially now she was coughing because of a choking snack. Amira immediately grabbed a glass of mineral water on the table, then gulped it impatiently. Now he looks exhausted by it. Amira leaned her body back, the wall of the sofa and glanced at the glance of the cell phone that was in her grasp.


"Basic, ketos gilak. Sometimes humor, but sometimes cold. What the hell do you want? Always make sprains!" gerutu Amira's.

Ramdan opened the door and looked at Naura who was looking towards the window of the room. The night is bright by the moonlight, which is surrounded by thousands of stars. On the sofa of the room there was also Fatimah who was lying down and asleep there. Ramdan closed the door and began to slowly step so as not to cause a sound that could wake the older brother up. Naura looked towards him.


"Assalamualalikum" said Ramdan who sounded like he was whispering towards Naura. Ramdan carried a bowl of warm porridge in his hand.


Naura smiled at a glance as she glanced at Fatimah who was still lying soundly on the sofa, "Waalaikumussalam." Naura replied in a shrunken voice.


"How are you doing right now?" asked Ramdan who was still in his small voice.


"Patience, it's all for your recovery." replied Ramdan. Naura simply nodded and smiled slightly.


"I brought you some food. You haven't eaten anything." said Ramdan, grabbing the spoon inside the porridge bowl.


"What is porridge?" naura asked as she smelled the porridge coming from the bowl.


"Yes." Yeah."


"All right."


Ramdan threw a soft mouthful into Naura's mouth. Naura accepted the bribe and chewed it slowly. It was salty, and very savory on his tongue. To be honest, Naura had no appetite for food, but she still ate the porridge for the sake of her hungry stomach.


Although Ramdan was now near Naura, he was even feeding the girl, but his eyes did not dare to look at Naura especially with this closeness.


"Where is Mother?" ask Naura.


"They were going to the pesantren with Abi" replied Ramdan. Naura scrunched her forehead in surprise.


"For what?" ask Naura.


"Maura, your sister will be staying over there for a while."


Naura just nodded, then got something on her mind. "How did you know Maura was my sister?" asked Naura astonished.


"I've known you and your family since I was an early age. Because I am Bima." muttered Ramdan inwardly.


"Because ... Maura had introduced herself to me." replied Ramdan after a few seconds of silence. Naura simply nodded in response.


"I'm sorry, I lied to you. May one day you forgive Me and accept the fact that the Milky Way you once knew was Me." Ramdan said in his heart. His face was lethargic and felt guilty.
