Same Marriage as the Former
16. Jealous
"How come Mas Gilang got out of the car too?" Echa was astonished when she saw Gilang get out of the car and followed him into the Hospital.
"I want to go to Gatha too, can't I?" Alibi Gilang, even though because he still wants to be near Echa only.
"Ohh, y-yeah can. Yaudah ayok," said Echa.
"Why not the ICU? He said Gatha was being treated in the ICU Room," asked Gilang when he saw Echa stop in front of an inpatient room that read 'Anggrek 7'.
"This is Gatha's inpatient room before entering the ICU" explained Echa.
"Ohh," Gilang replied nodding.
"I just want to nyapa Gatha's mother all naro goods doang anyway, Mas Gilang want to come in?" Fresh Echa.
"No, you are. I'll just wait here" replied Gilang, then sat in the front seat of the room.
"Mom's assalamualaikum" Echa told Gatha's mother who was in the room.
"Vaalaikumussalam. Ohh Echa, come in, son," said Gatha's mother kindly.
"Yes mom. Emm ma'am, Echa nitip taro here first well. Echa want to stop by the cafeteria for a bit, I've eaten?" Ask Echa attention but a little stiff.
"Udah, just finished it," replied Gatha's mother.
"Yaudah if so, Echa to the cafeteria first yes ma'am for a bit. You see I was here with my brother, he's waiting in front." Echa.
"Ohiya gapapa Echa," replied Gatha's mother.

After eating at the Hospital Canteen, Echa was about to drive Gilang to the parking lot, but they passed Sakka in the hospital hallway.
"Sakka?" Shocked Echa and immediately changed the look of his face to be ordinary.
"Who?" Sakka asked very flatly and coldly looking at Echa, then turned to glancing at Gilang cynically.
"Remember me," briefly Echa tried to look relaxed.
Actually Echa was very surprised, it felt like he was caught cheating. But Echa immediately thought quickly that now Sakka was no longer who she was and immediately changed the look of her face as relaxed as possible.
On the other hand, the jealous Sakka was cold and stared intently at the two people before her. Especially a man who was beside Echa, who seemed to be the same age as her. Sakka wanted to get angry and make a fuss with the man, but he held it because he realized he was no longer anyone Echa. If he did that, he was afraid that Echa would get further away from him.
As for Gilang, he was just observing what was going on actually. Despite being stared at sharply by Sakka, he gives her a calm and cool look. However, when Echa referred to him as his 'fork', he slightly snapped and glanced at Echa. I don't know, there's a strange feeling in his heart when Echa just recognizes him as a 'branch'.
"After me you don't have a brother," surprised Sakka furrowed her eyebrows.
"Brother," short Echa.
After Echa spoke like that, there was only silence between the three of them. Sakka who was still at home stared intently at Gilang. The nervous and confused Echa must behave as to what. And the careless Gilang who was in this silence finally opened his voice.
"Cha, it's a really late afternoon. That's why I want to go home well," said Gilang who turned to Echa.
"Yaudah if so, let's get anther to the parking lot. First sak," said Echa while passing Sakka.
"Mass?" Upon hearing that Echa called the man 'Mas', Sakka was shocked. He had actually burned a jealous flame this time.

"Thank you Mas Gilang for today. I want to take a walk, keep coming here. And the most important thing is to be the brother of Echa all day," said Echa with a face of sumringah that lately he rarely shows.
Gilang a little dislike if Echa just think of it as a 'branch'. Actually he wanted to discuss it with Echa and ask some questions like, who was that guy? And why didn't he introduce Gilang as his fiancee? But he could not bear to see Echa who is very happy now.
"Either. Yaudah I'm home." Reply Gilang while stroking Echa's head, then get in the car.
"Be careful Mas Gilang" said Echa, who replied with a nod and a thin smile from Gilang.
Echa Reenters Hospital after Gilang's car is no longer visible.

"***-" Echa's speech was cut when the door in front of her opened first and saw Sakka staring at her flat.
"Where are you going?" Ask Echa.
"Why what?" Ask Sakka coldly.
"It was behind her, instead" said Echa rolling her eyeballs.
"Why are you here?" Sakka's birthday clarifies, and is met with frowning eyebrows offended by Echa.
"Can't you?" Cynical Echa.
"I want to rest" Sakka briefly, then went inside without closing the door again.
"You want to take a break, why did you come out?" Tanya Echa followed Sakka in.
Sakka was speechless by Echa's speech. He was actually looking for that girl. Sakka was still silent. Either because he has been caught or he sulks because of Echa with another man. Finally, Echa is the one who speaks first.
"I'm here to make a promise" said Echa.
"What promise?" ask Sakka.
"Ngerawat Sakka," said Echa staring at Sakka flatly.
"Oh," said Sakka coldly.
The silence returned. Both are equally drifting in the minds of Each Other. Echa is now sitting in the chair next to Sakka's gurney. While Sakka had just turned her face away from Echa.
"Well eat?" Ask Echa flat.
Sakka simply replied with a nod of her head and kept turning her face away. Echa could only sigh.
"Hhh.tadi it's Mas Gilang. Temen My childhood," explained Echa, who was repaid by Sakka.
"He was four years different from me, and a year older than you" Echa said.
Suddenly Echa wants to explain Gilang to Sakka. Is it so that Sakka doesn't misunderstand? I don't know if Echa doesn't know.
"Can you stop talking? I was sleepy," when Sakka glanced at Echa with a cold look.
Echa sighed resignedly, it seemed like Sakka was not wanting to meet him.
"Hmm, yaudah sorry. I went out" said Echa, to stand up from his seat and come out of the room.
As Echa spoke like that, Sakka turned her head and reflexively held Echa's hand for the girl to sit back down.
"Wait," said Sakka.
"Why? Need anything?" Ask Echa flat.
Sakka stared at Echa's bead for a moment with a look of his own, then said.
"I'm sleepy, but can't wait until I'm actually asleep?" Said Sakka spoiled.
Echa turned her face for a moment, and cleared her throat. Ahh, why did Sakka become spoiled like this?
"OK," said Echa briefly without turning to Sakka.
Sakka finally tilts her body to face Echa while holding Echa's hand to hold her. Echa flinched slightly, but still let Sakka do it. And immediately without realizing Echa's cheeks flushed red because of Sakka's treatment.
