Italicized Before 24 Hours
I CAME

Nara doesn't want to delay anymore. He said the sooner the better. He walked towards the nightstand. The cell phone was dropped and put in a bag immediately.

"Digin's the same old man Ra." Mama Tiur.

Nara looked at her mother and nodded. Although he may not be allowed, but he will still ask permission.

Nara picked up some clothes and her personal needs. Put it all in a suitcase. Luckily tomorrow is Saturday, he's off, so there's no need to bring a laptop and the need to drop by.

"Help Nara talk to papa ya mah."

"Yes. Let's go see papa."

They both went straight to Papa's room. Still wearing the Septian shirt she was wearing like an outer, Nara walked over while pulling a small suitcase.

Papa Satrio who was reading a book in the room was surprised by the arrival of Nara while pulling a suitcase.

"What's wrong?" Ask papa while removing the glasses and closing the book.

Mama Tiur and Nara walked up to the papa sitting on the bed. Nara sat on the bed and grabbed her papa's hand and held it.

"Nara wants to follow Pah's brother." Nara said in a soft voice. Honestly, he's scared. His father would not approve of his intentions.

Papa Satrio's face immediately hardened to hear it. He immediately pulled his hand from Nara's grasp.

"Don't be weird. Why are you following him."

"It's all just a misunderstanding Pah. Nara is wrong. Nara has accused him of being like when he was in trouble and had an accident." Clearly Nara with glassy eyes.

"Whatever the reason, his act of hitting you is unjustified." Papa's mouth is furious.

"But all this is because of Nara Pah. Because it was cheated on, Nara became overthinking. Nara recriminates brother who doesn't until he's emotional."

"Any emotion, he shouldn't play with his hands. That proves he's not a good guy. Such a rude man doesn't deserve you."

Mama Tiur sighed. She did not live with her husband for a moment. She clearly knew what her husband was like. The man was so stiff.

"Nara loves him Pah. Nara please let Nara catch up with her."

"Papa still won't allow it. Better get back to your room. It's night, get to bed."

Nara shook her head quickly while crying.

"Bah." Call Mama Tiur while sitting next to her husband. "Nara is our son. But the one who was more entitled to her when she was married, was her husband."

Papa Satrio sighed. He clearly knows that. But it doesn't feel like giving Nara up to a rude man like Septian. He, as his father, never hit him for 25 years. But the man who had just married her for a few months had already dared to hit her. And worse, it happened at his house. In a place where he can still keep an eye on Nara. Then, get it somewhere else. A place he can't keep an eye on.

"Please let Nara follow Nara's husband."

"Does that make you happy?" Ask papa while stroking Nara's head.

"Yes pah." Reply Nara is sure.

"alright. But once again she makes you hurt, hurt and cry. Papa never took it again."

Nara immediately hugged her papa. "Thank You Pah. Nara is sure, brother is the best husband for Nara."

"You want papa interracial?" Fresh papa while wiping his tears.

Nara shakes. "Let Nara drive away."

Papa Satrio and Mama Tiur take Nara to the terrace. It was hard to take off her beloved daughter. But how else, this has become Nara's decision. They could only pray their best for their daughter. Even though Papa Satrio was still angry at Septian. But she hoped that they would both stay home.

The car driven by Mr. Mail drove at medium speed. It's almost 10pm but the streets are still very crowded. There is even congestion at some point because tomorrow weekend.

The trip can usually be booked in 40 minutes, so an hour or so. Makes Nara really impatient. She looked at her picture and Septian on the phone. His heart is beating fast. Why does it feel like you want to meet a man who has been separated for years. Only 2 days have not met.

Arriving at Septian's house, Mr. Mail helps Nara drop off her suitcase. The Septian House looked dark. The shop is also closed. Maybe you're asleep now.

Nara knocked on the door a few times while saying her regards. Mr. Mail is still faithfully waiting while several times knocking on the door.

"Waalaikum salam." Sounds authenticated from the inside and the living room lights are turned on.

Chequelek

Miss Lastri was surprised to see Nara coming in the night.

"Mom." Nara grabbed my mother's hand and kissed her.

"Thank God you came, son." Bu Lastri rubbed Nara's head gratefully.

"Sorry Nara, ma'am." Say Nara with glassy eyes.

"Udah, it's already." Mom patted Nara's arm slowly. "Let's go in, it's cold outside."

"Non Nara, Mother, I'll say goodbye then." Said Mr. Mail.

"Same with Mom. It's my duty." Mr. Mail immediately resigned.

After the two entered, she locked the door again.

"Any sleep, Mom?" Ask Nara.

"It hurts."

"It hurts!" Nara surprised.

"Gosh my god." Mom remembered that she was boiling water in the kitchen. "Wait a minute." He immediately headed for the kitchen and turned off the stove. He boiled water to compress the Septian with warm water. After taking the medicine, his fever dropped. But it's hot again.

Hearing her husband being sick, Nara immediately went up to the Septian room. When she opened the door, she saw her husband curled up on the bed with a thick blanket covering his body.

Nara approached Septian then touched his forehead with the back of his hand.

"Good bang, so hot." Mumbled.

Seeing the room that was not closed, Bu Lastri entered with a basin filled with warm water and a washcloth.

"Let me Mom." Nara took over the basin from my mother's hand. "Have you taken the medicine yet?"

"Udah was."

Nara put down the washcloth she felt on Septian.

"How many hours is it, Mom? After 4 hours, drink again. Or if you don't, we'll take him to the hospital."

"Wake him up, tell him to take some more medicine. While being compressed. Don't take her to the hospital first."

Nara looked at the medicine and the drinking water on the table. He then woke up Septian.

"Bang, wake up bang. Take the medicine first."

Septian blinked his eyes. Samar, he sees Nara in front of him. He closed his eyes again, afraid that he would just hallucinate seeing Nara.

"Abang.... "Nara shook Septian's shoulder slowly.

Septian opened his eyes again. Nara was sitting on the bed crying.

"Nara." Mumbled Septian slowly.

"Yes bang, I'm here." Nara grabbed Septian's hand and kissed him many times.

Not wanting to make them awkward, Miss Lastri came out and closed the door again.

"Ra, is this really you, baby?" Septian asked while trying to get up.

"Yes bang, it's me. Sorry I bang."

Septian immediately hugged Nara. He misses his wife very much.

"I'm sorry Bang." Nara said as she sobbed.

"The "wrong thing. The brother who should be apologizing to you. Sorry dear brother."

Septian let go of his embrace and wiped away Nara's tears. The kiss of Nara's old forehead as a proof of gratitude for being able to be with Nara again.

"Will take the medicine first." Nara grabbed the medicine on the table and opened it. He poured the medicine on Septian and then he took water that was half a glass on the table.

Septian immediately drank it and put the empty glass back on the table.

"Bag another sleep, let me compress." Tell Nara.

"No need, my brother must be cured if there is you. You must be sleepy too. Here, sleep next to your brother." He patted the bed next to him.

"Any thing doesn't want to be compressed?"

"Abang will hug you. Brother kangen."

Nara immediately got on the bed and lay on the side of Septian.

Septian tilted his body, staring at the face of the wife who was very much missed. Nara's heart was racing. He was so groggy being stared at like that. Especially when the back of the warm Septian hand caressed his face. I think he's hot.

"It hurts, it's sleep hunting." Tell Nara.

"It's healing."

"So, people are still hot."

Septian chuckled at hearing it. He who was shivering cold suddenly recovered to see Nara.
