Nia could no longer speak.

He could only stare at Nata with a face that had been swollen from crying for too long.

"Bang Nata, get up. Don't be quiet." Nia Back to Talk.

Because tired and sleepy Nia finally fell asleep with her head beside Nata's body.

Not yet asleep, Nia felt that someone touched her veil.

"Abang already - "Nia's not done talking Nata put her index finger on Nia's lips.

Nia was very surprised, Seeing Nata's hand stroke Nia's head.

"Don't be noisy, Mom's gonna wake up." Say Nata in a weak voice.

"Abang is awake?" Nia repeated her words but in a voice like a whisper.

"Yes, I've been up since." Answer Nata.

"meaning?" Nia.

"Yes. Brother Also hear all your confessions" replied Nata while trying to smile.

"Dragon!" Nia By reflex pinching Nata's arm.

"Ouch, Pain. People get sick even in the pinch." Nata

"Yes, Sorry. Abang ngeselin. Sickness again all the time joking." Nia

"But Brother Likes Neng, Brother likes to listen to all your chatter earlier." Nata answered and laughed a little at Nia.

"Just as far as you are! What matters is that you are awake. I feel sorry for Mom, I didn't stop crying this afternoon. Didn't even want to eat and drink, because I was so worried" Nia said.

"Thank you for taking care of my mom." Nata.

Nia nodded, wiping her tearful face.

"Here, don't cry anymore." Nata rubbed Nia's face

"Neng, can you ask me to get you some water to drink?"

"Yes, Bang. I'll get it." Nia immediately took out a bottle of mineral water, and gave it to Nata.

Nia also helps Nata to Drink.

"You just sleep! You must be sleepy." Ask Nata.

"No Bang, I'm not sleepy. It's almost morning." replied Nia.

"Sorry, it's been a hassle." Nata.

"Why did you get like this?" Ask Nia.

"yesterday Brother of bad luck. So leave in a hurry." Answer Nata

"Both rest, don't talk much." Nia was silent, no longer asking much..

"Do you love your brother?" Ask Nata.

"Yes." Yeah." Answer Nia

"You sure?" Nata asked back.

"of course. Even I was so sad when I heard the news, that Brother is in an accident." Answer Nia.

"What about Rio?" Ask Nata

"Rio's? Rio who?" Nia is a little confused

"The man who will be betrothed to you." Nata

"Rio Surya's son? I have nothing to do with him." replied Nia

"But your family is happy with the match."

"Then! Are you going to accept that proposal?" Nata asks again, Nata wants to reveal everything. He no longer wants to be burdened with thoughts that will disturb him.

"Of course not. But where did you know about the match?" Nia asked back

"Don't overhear it, Time Brother was about to hitch a ride to the toilet." Obviously Nata.

"That's why you kept me quiet all day yesterday?"

"Not just that!" Answer Nata.

"Then What?" Nia

"Abang sad, disappointed and upset because you did not introduce you as your girlfriend. You just introduced Brother as a co-worker like everyone else." Nata

Nia was silent, She didn't know how to explain the reason.

"Are you not serious about our relationship?" Nata asked back.

"No Bang, it's not that." Answer Nia

"Then Why? Do you like other men?" Nata

"No Bang. There is no special man in my heart but Brother" Nia

"Then why?" Nata really wanted to hear Nia's explanation.

"I'm always haunted by fear when I think of marriage. I'm afraid to experience What Mom's been through, My reason I haven't said anything about our relationship to Mom, it's because mom would really expect us to get married."

"While I still have to battle with the trauma of the past. I'm still haunted by fear." Answer Nia

Nata listened to all the explanations Nia said.

Nata is a man with an open mind.

He understood Nia's situation and did not want to impose his will.

"Later If Brother is healthy, Brother take you to a psychologist. Let's consult everything." Answer Nata.

"Anybody not angry?" Nia

"No, Why should you be angry. You never know how much mental burden you have to experience so far. Brother is not necessarily strong like you." Answer Nata.

"Thank you, because you understand my situation." Nia.

"Don't just thank you dong!" Answer Nata

"meaning?" Nia

"Love you kiss or hug!" Nata still had time to punish Nia.

"What hell! why go there." Said Nia while patting Nata's shoulder.

"Come Neng. As long as we're dating, you haven't given Brother a kiss." Nata Kayu.

"No ah!" Nia refused.

"One time only. Let me get well soon." Nata

"All right," answered Nia

Nata smiled happily, and closed his eyes.

While Nia grabs Nata's hand and kisses the back of his hand.

"It's over!" Answer Nia

"Why in the hand! It is your teacher njai. On the cheeks of dong Neng." Nata

"No, I'm ashamed." Nia answered wrongly.

Nata also chuckled to see Nia Shame like that.
