Asking You In Every Bow
40

"What business?" ask Baron as the Brother who has the right to know the affairs related to his younger siblings.

"Schoolwork only. Because yesterday, Maura forgot to ask." replied Maura.

Not lying, but Maura would ask one of her friends. But before that, Maura wanted to meet with her upperclassman who was here. Feeling coincidental, Maura just wanted to say hello. Also ascertain whether the figure he saw was true Imran or not.

"alright. Quick back. Brother is waiting for you." said Baron giving permission.

"We go first, yes," said Fatimah then stepped away with the Baron, though they walked parallel to the distance and did not get along with each other.

Maura smiled at her older brother who looked very happy to be next to Fatimah, although the two indeed often quarreled. A moment later Maura turned her head in the direction where Imran was sitting.

He saw no one in the chair. The chair was abandoned. His feet stepped closer to the table while circulating his gaze looking for the figure of Imran who might be not far from there. But Maura did not find Imran's whereabouts.

_"Is that true, Imran? Seems not. But why is it so similar?"_ murmured Maura in heart.

Maura's view was diverted to an object called a key. Maura grabbed the thing that was lying under the canteen table. Maura looked at the key and thought hard. Like a motor key.

Maura was reluctant to carry the key because it was not hers. But whose motor key does it belong to? Is it really Imran's? But where is he?

Imran was standing behind a corner of the hospital wall. Yes, Imran is hiding from Maura who is expected to look for him. Imran looked at Maura who was starting to approach the table he was sitting on. But now his eyeballs were rounded when he saw Maura who grabbed something from under the table that turned out to be the key to his motorbike. Imran still remembers himself trying to leave the table and hide, and it is possible that the keys of his bike had fallen out of his jacket pocket.

Imran was confused what to do to get his motorbike key back to him without Maura knowing.

Maura looked at the key for a moment and sighed. He placed the key on the table, and Maura called one of her friends to ask for schoolwork.

"Assynolt, Sis. I can ask for maths yesterday, right?"

Maura walked away and left the table.

Imran seemed to sigh in relief seeing Maura start leaving the canteen. Imran smiled when he realized Maura was not carrying the key, which also meant Maura was a good girl. It is not wrong if Imran falls in love with Maura who has a natural good nature in her heart as well.

Imran began to step his feet closer to the table. He grabbed his key and looked at it with pleasure because the key was held by Maura's hand. Imran smiled slightly.

"Sister Imran?"

Imran was surprised by the voice he recognized and the voice called his name. He immediately turned his back and felt very surprised when what he said was true. It was Maura.

Maura stood up and stared at Imran from a distance of one meter from Imran. Imran just silently looked at Maura who was also just silent and seemed a little confused.

"Sister Imran?" reset Maura.

Imran was still silent and did not reply.

"I deliberately left the key, because I want to know who the owner of the key is" said Maura.

"Why aren't you here? And why hide from me?" maura asked confusedly, looking a little intimidating.

Imran was still speechless with his eyes not turning away from Maura. Imran swallowed his saliva slowly and felt confused to answer what Maura's question.

"Are you visiting relatives at this hospital?" maura asked trying to dispose of the negative thoughts towards Imran.

"Y-yes. My brother lives near the sinu area, and he is sick." Imran replied lying.

"And the key problem ..., I accidentally dropped it" he continued.

Maura is guilty of thinking about Imran. Maura gave a small nod of her head and said, "I'm sorry, Brother. I don't know."

Just like Maura, Imran felt sinful for lying to the girl. Imran only replied with a small nod and a small smile.

"Oh, yes. What's your brother sick?" ask Imran. Then Imran noticed Maura's reaction back in wonder to him, Imran immediately said something. "Every night Amira told me about you who said she would not join the bill." said Imran managed to eliminate the sense of wonder at Maura.

"My brother has been diagnosed with alcoholic Hepatitis. Not bad enough, but it needs treatment. That's why I can't go on the stand because I'm still here." Maura replied slightly lowering her face.

Imran nodded back, "when did you go home? I mean, you have to go to school, right?" ask Imran.

"Maybe it's noon tomorrow" Maura replied."Um, Brother. I go first yes. I must have been waiting for it," said Maura was about to leave.

"Yes, Brother. Assalamualaikum,"

"Mosur."

Imran stared at the departure of Maura who was getting smaller in his view. Then disappeared. Imran smiled slightly and felt happy about it.

His hand reached into his pants pocket and took his cell phone. He called someone.

"Hello?"

"What has your job been done?" imran asked someone across the phone.

"Udah, Bro. Now what should it be?" reply to someone from across the phone.

"Now you meet me outside. I went there." said Imran who then ended the voice call.

His feet are going outside. After waiting for a few seconds, a man of his age approached Imran with a warm smile. The boy gave Imran a black camera. Imran received it and looked at the contents in the camera. Lips up.

"Where?" ask the teenage boy.

"Good job, thank you." said Imran as he put the camera strap to the neck of his head.

"You are welcome. No problems. I want to help you." replied the man.

"Gue sent money to your account. I unplug first yes, there is still business." said Imran pamit and got a nod from his friend.

Imran's riding his bike. "Be careful, man!" the man told Imran before Imran's motorbike drove fast enough on the road.

"Do I have to keep eating porridge? Is there no other food?" naura asked, rejecting the mouthful that was about to enter her mouth, but was prevented by her hand.

"You're so hard to eat. What do you want?" reply Ramdan.

"Son, let Mommy take care of Naura. You must be tired of it," Yuni said pityingly seeing Ramdan who seemed to be Naura's sister, let alone Naura who was difficult to manage.

"No problem, Bun. I know Mommy's tired from falling asleep here all night for Naura." Ramdan replied.

"Mother also knows, you're still here and awake all night. Look at your face, look lethargic. You'd better take a break" Yuni replied.

"I beg you to allow me once more to take care of Naura." pinta Ramdan told Yuni.

Honestly Yuni felt bad, but could not accept Ramdan's request which seemed sincere to be able to take care of Naura. Finally Yuni nodded and smiled, making Ramdan smile back at her.

"I'm sorry" Naura said, making Ramdan turn to her.

"I'm sorry I've been troubling you. I've been troubling everyone. If only I could fight my ego and stop drinking, maybe you wouldn't take this" Naura said.

"No need to regret it too much. Make it a lesson for you. I'm sure, after this you can fight your own ego." replied Ramdan with a smile knot.

Naura was stunned for a moment, "What if I can't?" ask Naura later.

"I'll lead you." said Ramdan making Naura and Yuni stare at him.

"Oh, yes. What did you want? What food do you like?" tanya Ramdan switched the conversation.

"I want chocolate." answered Naura.

"May, but after you fill your stomach with food."

Ramdan grabbed his phone that was lying on the table. Then open the cell phone. "Look at this, let's order your food." said Ramdan a little closer to Naura and showed the many food menus listed on the screen of his phone.

Yuni looked at the two with a slightly raised corner of her lips.
