Meet And Fall in Love
174 - Family Loss.

Next day.

As previously mentioned, Rumi picks up a cell phone at Raisa's house. While in the hospital, Raisa also watched a video with Rumi from her mobile phone.

"The dance in this video is great! Come on, we do it together, too" Rumi said

"For what?" ask Raisa

"Of course .. for your therapy" replied Rumi

"The movement is too difficult, we can't do it. I still can't walk normally anymore, you've just learned to dance this time too. We will fall easily often. I just want to do a dance that centers on footsteps" said Raisa

"Then why did you watch it with me until the video ended?" ask Rumi

"That's because you seem interested. Before opening the video, I didn't know what kind of dance it would look like, but after watching it for a while you seemed interested, so I let you see it through to the end" Raisa said

"Then, we can still do it after you recover later" Rumi said

"I didn't know you liked to dance. I thought you wouldn't like that kind of thing" Raisa said

"Because as long as whatever I do with you, I will be happy" Rumi said

Raisa was silent. He thought there was a special reason that made Rumi become interested in dance or dance, it turns out that eventually all will return to him.

At that time, Bibi Sierra also entered for a therapy schedule practicing Raisa walking.

"It turns out, Rumi had already arrived. Are you guys going to therapy while dancing together again?" aunt Sierra asked.

"Eitherway. It depends .. if Rumi wants to do it with me," Raisa said

"of course. It's very clear, right! We even just finished watching the dance video together earlier," said Rumi

"That's .. I watched it with you because... Because you're interested in dancing! I still don't know if you want to keep me company and help me in therapy." Raisa is looking for an excuse because she is embarrassed because Rumi still cares about her.

"For your sake, I will do anything, Raisa," Rumi said

"alright. Then let's start the therapy. Rumi, you help Raisa to stand up. Then, you can have a dance therapy session together" Bibi Sierra said

Like Aunt Sierra said. The therapy will continue. Rumi helps Raisa stand up and do as she did yesterday. Rumi put Raisa's hands on her shoulders and held the girl's waist. The two began to dance together.

"Do you still feel like pushing me?" ask Rumi

Raisa shook her head softly in embarrassment and did not expect, that she had said such a childish thing.

"Look, you can do it, Raisa! You are not a weak person, you are a strong person. You can definitely get through all this and recover" Rumi said

"It's thanks to you, Rumi. You are there for me and willing to help me. Before, I felt that I was weak and did not want anyone else to see me like this. Therein lies my mistake, precisely because I feel that way, so I feel weak. I am weak because I try to be alone. Everyone knows we can be strong because we have people we love. You're the one who made me like that and made me realize. I can be strong because you exist. You are my strength, you are willing to help me too. Thank you, Rumi," ycap Raisa

"Thank God, because I can always be there for you. I am grateful to be able to be a useful person to you and be loved by you" Rumi said

"Yes, you are precious to me! Therefore, when I can't do anything anymore, please take care and protect yourself. Prioritize your safety first. If that's the case, then you can protect the others. Don't be like this stupid me, even if I don't regret it. I just want you to be better than me and learn from my experience. Live for the lives of many people and be happy with all of them . " said Raisa.

"I will always remember your words well" Rumi said

"Yes. You should always remember it" said Raisa

"Good! Keep improving your feelings, Raisa. Feelings of pleasure can accelerate your recovery and facilitate the process of therapy," said Bibi Sierra

"Well," obeyed Raisa

The existence of Aunt Sierra who oversaw the therapy session seemed forgotten. And Raisa felt ashamed for having spoken such poetic and wise words in front of Aunt Sierra. Aunt Sierra watched and heard everything in person and Raisa could only endure her embarrassment.

"I shouldn't disturb the affection of the two of them, I shouldn't be here! Oh, my gosh! They are indeed young with tempestuous souls," Bibi Sierra muttered softly. However, Raisa could still hear him. And maybe Rumi was the same, just that he didn't care much about it. Different from Raisa.

Shy Raisa looks blushed. Red cheeks~

"You don't have to be ashamed, Raisa .

"No. I just feel hot because I try to exert energy on both my legs," Raisa denied reasoned.

Raisa also tried to calm herself.

At that time, friends came to visit. Their hasty arrival caused a loud noise due to the impact at the entrance.

Raisa who was surprised so did not focus on stepping and made him stoop on Rumi's feet. His body moved and almost fell. Rumi also swiftly held her body so as not to fall by tightening the grip on Raisa's waist.

At that moment, the door opened.

Aqila, Morgan, Devan, Ian and Chilla also witnessed Rumi's awkward position to keep Raisa's body from falling.

"Gee, great! Rare sight!" chilla Exclamation

"What are you doing?" asked Ian who was confused looking at Raisa and Rumi's current posture.

"I told you .. You should watch your step in the hospital especially in a corridor like this, Morgan!" devan

"Rulisa, Rumi... You two okay?" ask Aunt Sierra

Rumi immediately helped Raisa to stand up straight again by still holding Raisa's waist so as not to fall again.

"Are you feeling sick, Raisa?" ask Rumi

"It's okay, I'm fine" answered Raisa

"Why are you? It's so noisy coming! The hospital is a place that needs quiet! How about you guys come like that while the patient is sleeping?! You guys are really disturbing!" bibi Sierra's

"All because of you, Morgan!" annoyed Aqila

"I'm sorry, really .. "sorry Morgan

"Aunt Sierra, can we take a break?" ask Rumi

"Yes, okay. You two take a break first" Aunt Sierra replied

Rumi immediately carried (ala bride style) Raisa and sat her on the bed.

"You must be surprised, huh, Raisa? Calm yourself first" said Rumi

"Yes, I'm fine" Raisa said with a smile.

Even the visiting friends approached.

"Aren't you supposed to be in therapy, Raisa? But, why did when we came to see you dancing with Rumi?" ask Morgan

"Like a Princess and a Prince" Chilla said

"Raisa had a hard time with her previous therapy and Rumi found a new therapy that was suitable to help her" Bibi Sierra explained

"With how to dance together?" wonder Ian asked.

"It's so annoying!" devan said

"What harm? If it is suitable, why not try it? I think that's a good idea" Aqila said

"Aunt Sierra, today's therapy .. Can it be stopped here first?" ask Raisa

"Thank you" said Raisa

"Either. Then I'll go first. I'm not going to interfere with your togetherness" Bibi Sierra said

"Oh yeah, don't I need to watch your therapy again for the next one, Raisa? Looks like you'd be more comfortable with Rumi?" ask Aunt Sierra before you actually leave.

"Don't. I still need your direction and advice for my recovery, Aunt Sierra," replied Raisa

"All right, then. I'm going first. Excuse me. " said Aunt Sierra who passed away going outside from the nursery.

Raisa tried to move one by one with both hands. Rumi came closer, wanting to help her.

"Aqila, please come and help me" Raisa said

Aqila nodded and went straight to Raisa.

"What do you want? Wanna go where? Let me help you" Rumi said

"No need, let me be with Aqila alone" said Raisa

Raisa asks to sit in a wheelchair and Rumi still helps her with Aqila.

"I'm coming too, huh?" ask Rumi

"You shut up! I want to go to the toilet. That's why, I said let me be with Aqila, " said Raisa

"All right," said Rumi

Aqila also helps Raisa push her wheelchair up into the toilet until it goes back outside.

"We should come later with the others as well" Devan said

"The arrival of the two of us didn't bother the two of you, did it, Raisa, Rumi?" ask Ian

"Not at all" replied Rumi

"So, we were just in therapy and Rumi helped me out" Raisa explained

"My legs are so weak that I can't train alone. Then, Rumi gave advice to replace the therapy in the way she thought and helped accompany me during the therapy. And it started working. Either my legs can come back strong to walk again or not" Raisa continued

"You yourself said that the therapy chosen by Rumi began to work, meaning you can still walk again like before" said Aqila

"Yes, I felt it in training even though we just trained together twice. Your footsteps are getting stronger, Raisa. You can recover, ", Rumi said

"You just need the spirit to keep practicing, Raisa ." Morgan said.

"And multiply eat nutritious foods that can nourish. Calcium is best for you right now" Chilla said

"Yes, I get it. Thank you everyone!" said Raisa

"Next time, can we see when your therapy is underway, Raisa?" ask Morgan

"Wouldn't. It will affect the therapy session and Raisa could be out of focus if you pay attention to her," replied Rumi helping Raisa give an answer.

At that time, another friend came to see Raisa.

Dennis, Billy, Marcel, Amy, Wanda, and Sandra enter Raisa's nursery.

"You have come. " Welcome Raisa.

Every day is like this. Friends always come to visit Raisa. If there is a need or something wrong in the mission, some friends do not come. However, those who are still not busy and are in the village still come to visit. What they do for Raisa is not to feel bored or lonely while in the hospital.

Raisa was also happy. However, his heart felt a little hollow. Raisa misses her family who are in a different world from where she is.

Next day.

Rumi had come since morning to accompany Raisa. And now, Aunt Sierra has come to supervise the therapy that Raisa is undergoing.

"Aunt Sierra, today I want to try to practice on my own" Raisa said

"Why, Raisa? Does practicing with me make you feel uncomfortable?" ask Rumi

"It's not. You said my footsteps were getting stronger and I was able to move my legs a lot last night, so I wanted to try practicing on my own. I can't continue to depend on you" Raisa explained

Lately, at nightfall Raisa did ask Rumi to go home and rest at home.

"It doesn't matter, does it?" ask Raisa

"If you feel you can do the exercises yourself, that's a good thing. Starting today, try to practice on your own. It's okay, Rumi. You can still give Raisa some spirit from here," Bibi Sierra said

"All right," said Rumi

This time, Raisa returned to training amid the iron grip on both sides. Sure enough, there are many steps that Raisa can do even though she still has to hold on. Although her body was stretched and staggered almost to fall, Raisa was able to hold her body with a stronger stand and tighten her grip. Raisa was able to practice walking back and forth while holding on. That's a sign the strength in both legs has increased.

"Good, Raisa! Your changes have improved a lot in a better direction, of course. This is because your mood is good. I told you, it's gonna work. If it continues like this, you can quickly return to normal walking as before" said Bibi Sierra

"Congratulations, Raisa! Keep up the spirit, yes .. " said Rumi

Raisa smiled happily.

Raisa is back on the bed to rest.

"Today's training was enough. You can't be too tired, so you can get back to rest now. I have to go, too" said Bibi Sierra

"good. Thank you for today, Aunt Sierra" Raisa said

Aunt Sierra nodded, then went outside from the nursery.

Rumi remained there to accompany Raisa.

"What's up, Raisa?" asked Rumi who had only been watching Raisa.

"What am I really doing?" Ask Raisa back.

"Is today's training too draining of your energy? Are you tired? Your face look bad .. " said Rumi asked.

"It turns out, you can see it and realize it. It'sit's okay. I just miss my family" Raisa said with a smile.

Hearing that, Rumi fell silent. It can't be anything when it comes to family.

"I don't mean, I wasn't happy while I was here! I've been happy all this time, I even have a lot of people who really care about me. It's just, it feels a little different. I started thinking about them there. Maybe my mom's worried about me not coming home for a long time, me... Missed them" Raisa explained

"I understand, Raisa. It'sit's okay. You can go back to them after you recover. Be patient first and focus on your recovery" Rumi said

Raisa smiled gently.
