Bella's steps came to a halt as she saw the Inca and Ibra sitting in the waiting chair. They immediately stood up when they saw Bella coming with Devan who had just returned from the pharmacy.
Inka immediately approached Bella and hugged her best friend tightly.
“Hey, you okay?” Inca whispers with bated cries. He could imagine what Bella's fear was like right now.
Although often at odds, but these brothers clearly love each other.
“Hem, better.” Bella Sahut.
His gaze was now on a young man who was none other than Ibra.
While letting go of her embrace, Inca saw Bella still looking at Ibra. He looked over at the boy who looked nervous and tense to find Bella looking at him.
“Sorry I picked up this kid. The same phone call, I happened to be in the cafe. He was horrified that Bima mas sick and directly initiative nganterin me here using his motorbike. Fortunately, it became a nyampe. Is it okay for him to come?” Ask Inka hesitantly.
The Inca understands that Bella may not agree there are strangers in this place until she notices Bella's expression right after hearing her words just now.
“Hem, it's okay.” It turned out that Bella did not bother about it.
Hearing Bella's reply, Ibra approached.
“What are the conditions of bang Ozi kak?” Ibra asked with her worried face.
“Udah siuman. Now it's the same in Dalem. Excuse me first, I want to give you medicine.” Pamit Bella's.
“Okey.” He rubbed Bella's arm before the girl left.
The three are now sitting in the waiting chair. The curious Inca then turned to Ibra.
“Lo know Bima?” Ask Ibra.
Ibra looked timidly at the Inca and then gave a small nod.
“Hem... Mas Bima is indeed famous. A lot of people know him, especially girls. Especially after the Bima mas ngadain photo exhibition 2 years back. His followers at IG immediately rose dramatically. Many of his works are exhibited there. Cool emang mas Bima.” Babe Inka who knows.
Devan and Ibra were silent. The Inca sentences diverted the minds of those who were worried about Ozi and Bella in there.
“Hay,,,” Sapa Ozi when she saw her sister coming. He can still smile when Bella meets him.
“Hay.” Bella sat beside Saras who could not be separated holding Ozi's hand.
“How do you feel now?” Bella asked with her worried face.
“My feelings are yes. Emm...” Ozi seemed to think. He looked at Bella who was clearly worried about him.
“Anged.” Further.
“Anged? Same who? Same me?” Bella asked, pointing at her own nose.
Ozi shook his head slowly.
“No. I am angry with myself for always making you equally worried and bothered.” Ozi replied with a smile.
If only he could ask, he wanted to immediately end this period of pain so as not to bother the people around him.
“People I should take care of, even I make worried and sad. That's what makes me angry.” Imbuh Ozi looks sad.
"Lo likes ngaco by the way. Worrying just as sad is natural, cave people are just as mamah care about you." Bella tried to look calm.
"Oh yeah?" Ozi smiled mischievously at the sister. Bella's snobsy, snubby answers are sometimes quite comforting to her.
“Hem." Bella was sure.
"What is your rasain now?” Bella touched Ozi's forehead with the back of her hand. He rubbed the cold sweat spots there.
“Better, yes although still feel abis ride comedy swivel.” Ozi smiled as he smiled.
“Can-can you still smile.” Bella protests upset with Ozi's attitude.
“Hehehe…. Sorry for panicking.” Ozi took Bella's hand for her to hold. It was obvious that his little brother was worried about him.
Bella just clucked. The way ozi surprised him was indeed unmitigated and almost made his heart dislodged.
Seeing Bella's response, Ozi just smiled. Bella's head was rubbed with love.
“Mah, sorry brother yes already make mamah bothered.” He grabbed Saras' hand for her to hold along with Bella's.
He looked closely at the two women who were now in front of him.
“It should be time now brother nyenangin mamah. Nemenin mamah and do fun things together adek. But, brother is even this weak. Brother has not even been able to repay the slightest kindness mamah and even continue to ngerepotin mamah.” Said Ozi with a pushy look at Saras.
Can be seen his heavy breathing full of regret.
“Abang by what the hell. Mama never expected my children to return the kindness of mama. For indeed, it is the mother who expects the presence of children on the side of the mother. Raise do’a every time to be given offspring. There is no mind to be repaid by a child. Mamah sincerely love both brother and adek.” With his teary eyes he stared one by one at the faces of his two children.
Hearing Saras' words, the two children were moved. So great is the affection of a mother like Saras. In recent years she raised these two children alone without ever making them feel a lack of affection.
Bella rested her head on Saras' shoulder with a fixed gaze on Ozi.
“Adek dear same mom and brother.” Bella said with great determination.
When imagining one by one his loved ones leaving, it felt like there were not many opportunities for him to say that he really loved the two people near him now. There was no longer any feeling he could endure for Saras and Ozi.
“Mamah is also dear adek.” Saras rubbed Bella's cheeks gently making Bella can feel the great affection of her mother.
“Mamah is a mother who is far from perfect but allow mamah to be a little selfish. Mama hopes she will always have you. Then mamah hope you will fight to recover. Don't hide anything from Mom. Hem?” Saras tightened his grip on Ozi.
Ozi smiled slightly. “Iya mah, brother promise.” Promise to Saras.
It feels so happy to have each other and to love each other.
Amidst the warmth of this family, a nurse came over.
“Excuse me. Sorry to interrupt the time.” Said the fat-bodied woman.
“Iya sus, how?” Saras immediately responded.
“Begini mother, we beg permission to perform blood transfusion on patients. According to the advice of the doctor, the patient is required to transfuse about 6 blood gourds so that his hb back to normal."
"At the moment we only have 2 pumpkins and 4 other pumpkins are being pursued by PMI. But we are concerned that it will take a long time because the patient's blood type is also quite rare. Maybe there are families whose blood type is the same as the patient?” Ask the nurse with a detailed explanation.
“Em,, If our blood type is not the same sus. But my blood type O, what can I give to my brother?” Ask Bella.
At first glance, the nurse looked at the records in Ozi's medical record.
“Sorry mba, although blood type mba universal but good patient got donor from the same blood group that is B rhesus negative.” The nurse's light.
Bella understood.
“Silver blood type same as papah.” Remember Saras who looked at Ozi with worry. His blood type is different from Ozi so it is impossible to be a donor.
“In that case, please give first the blood pumpkin that is there sus, I will try to find the shortcomings so that faster.” Bella thought quickly.
“Good mba. In that case, the family can wait outside, I permission to do the action.”
“Good sus, please.” Saras and Bella immediately got up and made room.
“Abang, wait in front ya. If you need anything, tell the nurse to call mamah.” Saras's message to Ozi.
“Iya mah.” With a heavy heart Ozi released Saras' hand.
“Sus, I nitip my brother yes..” Bella also advised the nurse.
“Good mba.” The young lady said with a friendly smile.
Ozi waved his hand as Bella and Saras walked out of the room. I hope it's not long.
"It hurts?" Ozi asked.
"A little bit, like in an ant bite." Answer nurses.
Outside the room were 3 people waiting. Devan, Ibra and Inca.
“How are we Bima, aunt?” Inka quickly asked once and then grabbed Saras' hand for him to kiss.
“It's been conscious son. Now you want to get a transfusion first. Son Inca same who come here night-night?” Saras was still worried about the girl in front of him.
“Sama Ibra aunty.” Show the Inca to the young man behind her.
“Tante,.” Ibra took Saras' hand for him to salimi.
“Please yes, come back. Ozi must be very cool if you know many people who care about him.” Saras said with full haru.
“Sama-sama aunt.” It was the Inca who.
“Mah, if so adek to PMI first yes. Let me get some blood for brother.”
“Iya darling.”
“Emang blood type mas Bima what aunt? Who knows Inka can be a donor.” Inca Pause.
“Oh, blood type Ozi B rhesus negative.”
“Yaahh, My blood type A aunt.” Inka shrivelled sadly.
“Nothing. Do’ aja so that Bella can get her blood. He said he also worked on PMI.” Saras rubbed the sagging Inca shoulders.
“My blood type is also aunty B..” Scared-fear Ibra offers herself to make Saras look at the young man full of attention. Apparently this child is not only similar to her late husband but his blood type is the same.
“If aunt allows, I am willing to donor.” Ibra offered herself again.
“Thank you.” Say Saras with teary eyes.
“Iya aunt.” Ibra smiled happily because it turned out that she could help her sister.
“Then, Inka also permission to ask questions aunty. Who knows if there is a blood type similar to Bima.” Inka quickly pulled her phone out of her pocket.
“Iya nak.” It feels Saras can sigh in relief because it turns out that many are trying to help him.
Inka's spirit immediately typed a message in her office group.
“Info essential. It takes immediate blood type donor B rhesus negative for our best friend Bella's sister. Bima is currently being treated at Budi Mulya hospital and requires blood type B rhesus negative. With humility, I ask for your help not to help Bella. Thanks in advance good people.” Write Inca.
And in a matter of seconds many responded to the Inca message. Asked about Ozi's current condition and some of them immediately volunteered. It is not much but they are willing to give their blood if needed.
“Tante sit here first. Devan anter Ibra to dalem first later all nganter Bella to PMI yes tan.” Said Devan sparingly.
“Iya, aunt here used to be the same Inca yes. Other tests will also be to PMI for blood donation.” Connect the Inca with spirit.
“Iya, thank you very much.” Lirih Saras with tears in his eyes. It turns out that many people care about their son.

Lying on a blankar with a heart that beat fast, that's how Ibra feels right now. From the gap of the curtain he could see Ozi lying beside him and only being blocked by the thin white curtain. The man looked weak with a deathly pale face. His eyes closed like he was holding back pain.
“Bang, there I am here.” It felt like he wanted to tell Ozi but right now it was only in his heart.
After undergoing a brief examination, Ibra was finally allowed to donate blood. The nurse had already taken a small amount of her blood for the sample and declared Ibra to be a donor.
Honestly, this was the first time he donated his blood. He also just found out that it turns out the needle to remove blood that big. Aakhhh terrible as well.
“I start yes..” Permission of medical personnel on Ibra.
“I-Yes.” Ibra's eyes closed but still then he peeked out of curiosity to see when his veins were pierced. Is it like in the movies?
An alcohol cotton swab swept through the area of the venous vein puncture in his left arm. It feels cold and comfortable. Not long after that, a large needle was pointed at the puncture area,
“Pull breath...” Said the officer.
Ibra just follow and at the same time, “Awwh...” Ibra Lirih. It hurts too. Lied that Devan said it felt like an ant bite. For him it hurts quite a bit.
“Okey, the blood is flowing.. Masnya if you feel dizzy or nauseous, immediately raise your hands yesa.” Order the medical officer after finished pairing the plaster near the area of the puncture and arm Ibra.
Ibra just looked at the blood flowing in the hose and into the sac. He massaged the ball in his grasp he said this to speed up blood flow out.
Behind this sudden sense of dread, tucked away a sense of happiness because in the end he could do something for the Bella family. One by one he can repay Bella's kindness even though he is not sure if this is enough to be called kindness.
Ibra's attention now returned to Ozi. His lips muttered like he was reciting a spell he had cast on Ozi.
“Bang, you should be healed. Aunt Saras and sister Bella are very worried about you. They need lo. And I, I'm asking you to give me a chance to know more of you and your papah family. Can?” Inner Ibra.
I don't know what kind of bond that makes Ozi suddenly open his eyes. He looked to the side and Ibra looked surprised as their eyes met. They looked at him before Ozi gave a small smile and made Ibra's eyes widen.
After the meeting at Saras' house, this was the first time Ibra saw Ozi smiling.
“What's it like to hurt?” Ozi asked quietly, like his strength was almost gone. Apparently he hadn't slept since. Ozi just closed his eyes to reduce the dizziness.
He glanced at Ibra's needle-pierced hand and drew blood.
“Ngg-no. It's like being bitten by an ant.” A surprised Ibra Ozi asked.
Ozi just nodded and turned his eyes to the white ceiling of the room. The fluorescent light was like a new spirit flame he saw.
“Still on deck, you are ready to donate blood for me.” Lirih Ozi later. He turned back to Ibra who was speechless.
Ibra. His mind was linked to one word Ozi said.
“Dek?” Was that a call because Ibra was a child or because Ozi already thought of him as a younger brother?
Ibra could not help but feel the rush that was inside her chest to make her lips smile. The pain in his left arm was gone. His heart beat faster just from hearing Ozi's call.
“Sama-sama bang.” Legally.
Then the two turned their faces back, staring at the clean white ceiling of the room. Both of them sighed deeply and smiled slightly. There is a distinct relief that both feel.
In a different place, Bella was made to sob when she saw there were about 8 people who came to donate blood.
“Donor blood I made mas Ozi eh mas Bima, Bella's sister. She'll be here.” Said one of the crew from the artistic department. Officers immediately recorded the names of prospective donors.
Bella to the point, she did not expect that her co-workers this bike to Bella.
With trembling hands he wrote a message in the group. The group he never left despite having moved departments. Because for him, this group is a family group at work.
“Thank you. Thank you good people, for doing’a and the willingness to donate blood for my brother. I don't know what to say, you guys are so nice. May all the good always be poured out for all of you. Once again thank you and healthy always.” Bella wrote with a stifled cry.
Some of the messages were read by Bella.
“Kuat ya Bell, bang Ozi definitely cepet cured.”
“Espirit Bell, lo strong lo great.”
“Neng Bella gorgeousk, yookkk spirit!!!”
“Bell, I help do’a ya, Sorry can not donor.”
“Gue has nitip do’a the same my mother who again umroh, Bismillah ya Bell, bang Ozi cepet cured.”
And many other messages that make Bella smile should while immersing the phone he held in the chest. He realized that he had never been alone all this time.
In his place Devan just looked at Bella from the side. It was hard for this girl to hold back her crying so as not to break. Some messages went into Devan's inbox and asked about Bella and Ozi's condition. Many people care about both.
And when he saw Bella like this, Devan woke up. That the independent attitude that Bella showed was her choice. All he did because of circumstances that made him have to choose independently. In reality, it still needs protection.
“Bell, I'll always be here. Just next to you and not going anywhere.”
