Shoes, bags, socks, and basketball uniforms that Ananda received, all decorated with the name “Ananda”, and all that Jason gave.
Jason so easily walked into Mr. Maheza's house because in fact, the young man's closeness to Ananda, had earned him the green light. Malini's extended family has indeed immediately blessed Malini and Jason's relationship, although they know, Jason is two years younger than Malini. Of course, age is not a benchmark for the Malini family to assess someone including someone who can be close especially to be a Malini partner. Because what they see is the seriousness and responsibility of Jason to Malini and Ananda.
“Papah. Yesterday, to school, I only wear socks,” said Ananda who was really sad because his legs could not be moved let alone re-used for walking.
In that instant, everything there - Mr. Maheza, Aleya's mother, and Malini - froze like Jason. This is about the development of the condition of the two legs of Ananda that never progress. Both legs Ananda still limp even more days seem so thinner— circumstances that make them suspicious, there are indeed abnormalities in both legs Ananda.
Jason who realized, of all the people there, only he was able to toughen up, immediately said, “Who said? It's just that you're healed again. Hold back your legs can walk again!” He deliberately wears red socks as his favorite color which is also Ananda's favorite color. The socks he ordered at once bought specifically so that there was written the name Ananda.
“Who said that to whom? The doctor said he was just patient. The doctor kept asking us to be patient. The doctor didn't tell me when I could heal,” Ananda said, looking down and occasionally staring at Jason.
Not running out of ideas, Jason said, “Yes Papah said. Papah just said it. Papah was told to be an angel. The angel called Papah. The angel said gini, ‘Pah, Nanda's healing. Nanda could walk. Soon Nanda will be able to see normally, as long as Nanda remains excited. Nanda is not sad anymore! Tell Nanda it's well, Pah!’” convinced and already made Ananda look at him with a look of amazement.
“Papah can actually call same angel?” asked Ananda to make sure because the story of Jason, already made him curious.
“Don't phone, meet the same angel, Papah can!” sure Jason.
“Ya is Pah. Let's meet the same angel, let my feet heal faster!” Ananda was excited.
Ananda's enthusiasm did not scare Jason in the least. The reason that made the three adults and still there, even more curious. What else would Jason do to convince Ananda?
Quickly Jason had dressed Ananda in a basketball uniform complete with shoes that had just settled Jason put up. Their appearance becomes very similar, like the twins of different generations. Everything is red and black. Ananda said he felt proud just because he looked like Jason, and for the boy it was very cool.
“But jerk, ... My hair hasn't rolled up like pineapple like Papah's hair. My eyes are also not as blue as Papah's!” ananda protest and this time successfully made everything including Jason who was still squatting in front of Ananda, laugh.
Though before, the condition of both legs Ananda which even became more limp, successfully made them teary. However, Ananda's obsession with wanting to be like Jason, successfully makes them laugh.
“Try later you train yourself. Nanda fears even ‘cerebral palsy’, or other trauma that actually can only heal from the tenacity as well as sincerity we care for. In the past, Brother Chole almost five or even six years old, has not been able to walk. Until it is convicted, it cannot go. They have been taken out of the country, and they have surrendered. But thankfully, Om continues to work and since he can walk, Brother Chole even can not be silent. The road is like a half-flying man. Hahaha, until now, her husband is still often flabbergasted, but his wife who has loved him four children, if the road is half run even fly!” said Mr. Maheza deliberately encouraged Jason and Malini who still survive in front of Ananda.
On the long sofa in the living room downstairs the residence of Mr. Maheza, Ananda who was still sitting, deliberately looked up just to listen to what his opinion conveyed. A little bit he understood. Besides he who feels very happy just because he saw Malini and Jason standing next to each other like now. And he deliberately made one hand of the two join together, before finally he clutched the bodies of the two simultaneously.
“I'm so dear to Mamah Samah Papah!” ananda was sincere.
That instant also the gazes of Jason and Malini met accompanied their hearts that suddenly shook enveloped in warmth. Which along with that, both felt that their world had completely stopped spinning.

“Until now, a little wrong I am still often scolded. While my papahku mamah if already angry, all kasa*r words they always say including binat*ang names ..” Jason could not continue his words. “Dilem*par use item .. puk*ul ... indeed already disease anyway yes. Gosh .. I hope no one experiences it too, and amit-amit, do not let Ananda also feel it.”
Next to her, Malini who was sitting a bit straight, reflexively looked at Jason. They are still on the basketball court in front of Mr. Maheza's house.
Today's atmosphere was still cloudy, until even though they had been there for hours, they were not hot at all. Plus, the breezy wind that blows and sometimes quite strong, also makes togetherness there become enveloped in fresh nuances.
“Jason always associates his sadness with what Ananda is experiencing. He did not want Ananda to also feel the sadness that had even until now, he felt. The sadness is due to Jason's closest friend, and it's Jason's parents. So far, there are two things that a victim has done. He will be the pre*dat*or of ignorance*, or even be an exterminator and will not make others feel it because he knows, being a victim is very painful, very painful,” Inner Malini was immediately dumbfounded because Jason scares Ananda while crawling, making the boy crack open while crawling fast.
“Masya Allaaah .. That's how Nanda's legs also move!” shouted Malini in his heart, but he was hard-earned to control himself so as not to stop the excitement of Ananda as well as the movement of the two legs of the boy.
“Just come after me! Just watch Papah catch. Toothpap*t. Papah wants to be a wolf .. Look at this Papah wants to change!” jason continued to crawl quickly, scaring Ananda while continuing to chase after the boy.
Unlike Malini, Jason who is the basis of clengean, has not realized, that his work has succeeded in making both legs Ananda began to move.
