Same Marriage as the Former
13. Tiramisu Cake
In the afternoon after Echa came home from the office, Echa went straight home to clean up and bring some of her equipment. Echa intends to stay at the Hospital to accompany Gatha and keep her promise to Sakka.
"Sakk-Loh sus patient this room where ya?" Echa asked so did not see Sakka's whereabouts in her room. There was only one nurse tidying up Sakka's bed.
"Ohh, this room patient is doing therapy in the Physiotherapy Room" explained the nurse.
"Thank you, sister" Echa nodded, placed the item in Sakka's room, then went to the Physiotherapy Room as directed by the nurse.
"Excuse me" Echa said as she entered the Physiotherapy Room. He saw there was a doctor who was helping Sakka walk and a nurse holding a map that seemed to record Sakka's development.
"Oh, this is the morning?" The doctor was friendly.
"Yes doc, I'm sorry I'm late for nemenin." Said Echa slightly bowing her head.
"Yes gapapa mba, we are also just starting. Here, I can help you hold Sakka's mas." Echa approached Sakka who had not yet let out her voice.
"I'm sorry it's late" Echa told Sakka slowly, Sakka just threw her face away from Echa.
Sakka finally underwent therapy accompanied by Echa until it was finished. Sakka is upset because Echa did not come on time, but it cannot be denied that he is also very happy because the therapy this time was accompanied by people he loved very much.

"Do you need anything?" Ask Echa when Sakka is lying in her room.
Sakka still silenced Echa and turned her face away. He was not upset actually, but he wanted to prank Echa a little this time.
"Sorry, I came late" said Echa again when Sakka was sitting there.
"You're not going to make a promise" Sakka said briefly.
"I promise, the proof is that I came. Yes though.tell," reply Echa a little did not accept Sakka's remark.
Sakka still turned her face away. Echa also breathed. Okay, he has to persuade Sakka this time.
"Okay I'm sorry.. In exchange for one request, what do you want?" Pasrah Echa's.
Sakka is very interested in Echa's words. He also wanted to immediately turn his head and ask the girl for something, but all of that he paused. Sakka must think carefully this time, because he knows this is a rare occurrence and Echa may not say like this again someday.
"I don't need anything" said Sakka coldly as she glanced at Echa.
"Who's it?" Sakka's sight is suddenly sidetracked by Echa's luggage.
"Have me. I want you to go to Gatha's mother tonight" said Echa.
"Swort?" Ask Sakka who was only repaid by the dehumane Echa.
"Ohiya, here I bring something." said Echa.
"What?" Sakka's speech is short.
"Your favorite, tiramisu cake. Can you eat cake with a doctor?" Said Echa while giving a box of Sakka's favorite cake.
"Well, you think I'm sick with diabetes gabby eat sweet," sardonic Sakka.
"Yaudah is eaten. I'll drop my stuff here for a second, check into Gatha's room first." Echa exits Sakka's room and heads to Gatha's room.

"Assalamualaikum" said Echa when opening the door to Gatha's inpatient room.
Fyi, during Gatha's stay in the ICU Room. Gatha's mother stayed overnight in Gatha's previous hospital room. And Echa just found out, it turns out sometimes Raya also likes to accompany Mother Gatha to stay there when Mr. Gatha can not accompany.
As it is now, it looks like Raya who is also there talking to Gatha's mother. They are both shocked to see Echa coming.
"Waalaikumussalam, eh Echa? You come again" said Gatha's mother.
"E-emm, yes ma'am. Echa want permission to nemenin mommy nginep here can?" Echa said awkwardly.
"Emm..can you, but this only fit two people sleeping anyway you're not busy anymore, son?" Ask Gatha's mother.
Before Echa answered, Raya had already spoken.
"Father ma'am let Echa be the mom tonight. I go home again just gapapa kok," said Raya.
"Eh? Don't want Raya. Are you ready to make this bed from here, when you want to be finished again?" Said Gatha's mother.
"Father ma'am, just finish the door I won't be so great.." Reply to Raya and want to make her bed.
"Father Ray, let's go today. I can do it tomorrow. You have already brought your equipment. While I have not brought anything," said Echa lying, Raya just silently did not want to look at Echa finally Gatha's mother who responded.
"What about Echa? Are you afraid to go home again?" Ask Gatha's mother that she's not good.
"Yes from gapapa. So Echa pamit yes. Assalamualaikum," replied Echa smiling faintly as she gave a small nod and then walked out of the room again.
Echa is forced to lie, because she knows Raya will not like her existence there. And Echa is not good because he suddenly came to stay and did not permit before. Rather than Raya getting dislike for him, it was better for Echa to give up on coming home again.

Tok.dok..
"Come in" said the owner of the room, Sakka.
"I want to take things," said Echa approaching her luggage on the sofa in Sakka's room.
"Absolutely approved as Gatha?" Ask Sakka who was watching Echa earlier.
"So, there is a Kingdom that is alive" replied Echa.
"Certainly? You want to go home again?" Ask Sakka again.
"Yaiya, I'm going to sleep here." cynical Echa.
"Can.." reply Sakka.
"Well, hasn't the cake eaten yet? Not good?" Echa's question distracts.
"Capinn.." Sakka said spoiledly and pursed her lips.
Seeing Sakka suddenly like that, Echa turned her face away. His cheeks were so nervous. Her lips twitched, holding the smile that would appear on her beautiful face.
"You want it in the capuapin," said Sakka with a tone pretending to sulk.
"Can't it be hard as a little kid?" Sindir Echa who has faced Sakka this time.
"And you used to call me a big baby" Sakka said back to quip Echa.
"Hhhh, jaudah here, open his mouth!" Echa said to hold back the upset.
"Yes.aamm, nyam nyam. Sweet," Sakka acted like a child and smiled seductively at the end.
"Yaiyalah his name is jug-" said Echa after feeding Sakka.
"What a sweet nyapuain," Sakka's seductress looked at Echa.
Echa's cheeks are red. He was trying to hold back his smile. He turned his face, folded his lips inward, and moved them awkwardly.
"You want a smile, a smile, aja cha" said Sakka who had noticed Echa.
"You're kayaking again, I'm gabakal jenguk lo again." Echa is upset.
"Let's not lo I lo" said Sakka coldly.
"Why?" Echa asked raised her eyebrows.
"I'm a gasuka" Sakka said briefly.
Echa just flinching in place. Don't know what to pay back. The atmosphere becomes awkward, but Echa still feeds Sakka Tiramisu cake that she carries.
"Cha," call Sakka to break the silence.
"Hmm?" Echa Deham.
"Udah malaem. Nginep here yes, gausah go home," Sakka said as if not to be denied.
"Tomorrow to go to the office" said Echa cuek.
"Echa lie, wekeend tomorrow." Reply Sakka telak.
Damnit damnit! I may forget - Inner Echa.
"Tap-" Echa's speech is cut off by Sakka.
"Let's see what time it is? Are you sure you want to go home this late?" Sakka.
Echa saw the watch in her hand showing at 11 p.m. Sakka's words were right, it was late and the door to Echa's house must have been locked because he said he would stay at the hospital.
"Will you go home?" Sakka quipped, Echa sighed and said.
"Huftt.oke," replied Echa resigned.
Echa finally obeys Sakka and prepares her bed on the sofa. Conscious or not, actually fromadi Echa always obey the word Sakka. I don't know why Echa can't refuse everything Sakka says. Actually the girl's brain can reject it, but not with her heart as if still tied to Sakka's heart.
As Echa was lying down and playing her phone on Sakka's couch. Sakka called.
"Cha," Sakka called out as she stared at the ceiling of the inpatient room.
"What else is sak?" Echa lazy.
"Not slept?" Ask Sakka.
"You think? No one's sleeping can answer, huh?!" Upset Echa, somehow it seems like today Echa speaks a lot. Different from before that only cleared his throat if asked.
"Hehehe.." Sakka chuckles in response.
"Aren't you laughing?" Cynical Echa.
"You're funny," Sakka said, Echa just went silent pretending not to hear.
"Cha," call Sakka again.
"Hmm?" Echa pounding lazily.
"I'm kangen" said Sakka who was staring at Echa.
"Cha, you're beating me, aren't you?" Said Sakka again, because Echa just fell silent.
"E-emm, yes." Reply Echa nervously.
"Yes what?" Ask Sakka jahil.
"Yes," answered Echa.
"Here deh cha" said Sakka.
"Why what?" Ask Echa curious.
"Here you go" Echa came closer to the hospital bed Sakka was in.
"Here," Sakka said, patting the side of the mattress next to her, which had little room.
"I mean?" Ask Echa confused.
"Sleep here, get me." Sakka's words are indisputable.
Echa was hypnotized by him. And immediately lay down beside Sakka.
"Can you hug?" Sakka Permission.
Again Echa only a small straddle in accordance with Sakka's will. Echa couldn't resist this time, because honestly that's what her heart wanted.
Sakka pulls Echa into his warm embrace. And Echa hid her definitely flushed face into Sakka's chest. They both enjoyed the cold night by sending warmth to each other through tight hugs.
"I miss you so bad Cha," the last word Sakka said that night was coupled with a warm kiss of Echa's love.
