Seasons Will Always Change (Holly's Love Story)
Eps. 73. So then?

Holly's lips never expressed her sadness, not complaining about her loneliness. Trying to live out her own decisions, the memory of a word from her lover back then that she should be a strong girl, that sentence became the place she held on to now, she said, yes she had to turn into a strong girl, not for anyone for her own life. He actually went not so far because he did not have the ability to really go.

That morning Rommel asks Holly for help in keeping Junior, her brother hospitalized for being pregnant and experiencing severe nausea and vomiting. Holly had refused because Tenry had just picked her up, although she was eager to help because she felt close to Junior. The problem here is that Tenry couldn't possibly allow it because Junior was at Keke's parents' house, they were on vacation there at the time of the incident.

But then Holly accepts Rommel's request, the only way to get away from Tenry. Holly asks Rommel not to tell Nuella about it, knowing that Nuella is indeed her best friend but owes Tenry a debt of gratitude, she finds it hard to keep Holly a secret. Rommel was not very familiar with Tenry and because he needed Holly he promised to cover up Holly from Nuella. As of now, Nuella is not suspicious of Rommel.

Keke's pregnancy condition is not good, continued nausea and vomiting throughout the day and even continues through the first trimester to make Holly still needed in a big house in a hill near this city.

"Molly..."

Keke called Holly who had just come out of the children's room. Keke was lying on the sofa, he was saturated with just being in the room for more than four months, even throughout his pregnancy he was just lying in bed. The doctor said she had hyperemesis gravidarum, a severe morning sickness, this time. Because she was pregnant at the age of thirty-three years and there is a similar history of mother Virda when pregnant Bonita and Rommel, Virda, coupled with having a legacy of diabetes from the father so that this pregnancy he also had gestational diabetes, his blood sugar increased due to his pregnancy.

Holly approached Keke and sat down on the sofa opposite.

"Yes sis..."

"Niol was bobo in the afternoon?"

"Yes, brother..just..."

"Where's Yica and Via?"

"Yica in opa oma's room, sis.if Via will follow Ben, today receive a report..."

"Oh? Last morning said he couldn't go to school, right, only parents can come..."

"He wants to go to the shophouse he said he was bored here continue sak.. hence obtained the same om..."

"Via is not happy..."

"Fear not to be tamed, Keke said..."

"That kid, yes but pity is also locked up here not going anywhere for months..."

Keke vomited again, next to him there was already a bucket that was deliberately placed by the mother when she asked to leave the room. Holly helps Keke sit up and hold Keke until his nausea and vomiting end. After cleaning Keke's face and hands, Holly helps Keke drink.

"Well, brother?"

"Yes, thank you..."

"Sir Keke want to go to bed again?"

"Help Mr. Keke to your room, haven't seen papa in days..."

Tried the two of them headed to the biggest room in the house. Keke's weight did drop dramatically, but still a small body Holly was too busy to support the weak body when walking.

"Where to go..."

Mama Virda who just came out of the room immediately put down the dishes used to eat her husband and hurriedly helped support Keke's body."

"You. look papa, ma..."

"Yes.. Slowly yes..."

Papa Ramly has been physically unfavorable for almost a year due to a decline in kidney function due to years of diabetes. Keke, lying weakly in bed, did not want to be hospitalized because of the pandemic situation. There was a sense of trauma as well as some of Ramly's close family and friends who were taken to the hospital and exposed to the virus and no longer returned home but went straight to the final resting place.

"Ike. honey, why come here..."

"Bored in Ike's room.this thing has begun to diminish..."

"Mommy? Can I walk?"

Lisya came closer and wanted to reach her mother, so Holly released her hand grip on Keke's body. Papa Ramly was sitting leaning against the headboard of the bed.

Keke sat near Ramly's father who had shifted more into the middle of the bed, Holly herself returned to the children's room, controlling her foster child Junior, Lisya came out with Holly.

"Pity you.. Can you eat?"

"Yes have started to be able to eat bread. if the rice is still vomit..."

"Honey.. Make something Ike likes..."

Papa Ramly looks towards his wife, who is affectionately taking care of her husband.

"You made what Ke..."

"Do not ma.. later, if Ike already can eat a lot, this can not smell the aroma of macem-macem..."

"Luckily Ike can drink milk even a little..."

Mama chimed while sitting on the edge of the bed.

"How many months now, son?"

Papa asked as he grabbed his daughter's hand...

"Well try yeah start eating a little bit. You're so skinny, pity the baby. Ike's stomach is almost invisible..."

"Yes pa..."

"Papa should also try to be healthy dong.want to welcome the second grandson..."

Mama Virda squeaks husband's feet.

"This is honey's fourth grandson..."

"I mean mama..."

"They're all the same to me, honey..."

"Papa must be healthy for Rommel, he already wants a proposal, Nuella has graduated..."

Mama hooked up again, has long wanted to tell this to her husband.

"Honey. If I can't, just ask Ben, there's Noniek there's Lody, you're leaving so Rommel doesn't wait too long..."

"Papa is also at high risk of going out even though papa is healthy, ma..."

"Mom is confused thinking of a wedding party like what this situation is..."

"Yes. circumstances like this honey. make here aja, our yard is very wide outdoor party just rent a tent... toch can't invite many people..."

.

Outside, Holly sits on the porch that became her favorite spot, Holly preparing to take her last matkul semester exam online. Laptop is already on already entered into a meeting application, waiting for lecturers who have not joined.

"Sister... want to learn?"

Lisya came up with a juice packing box in her hand.

"Yes Yica. big brother wants an exam. That's why big brother Mintol loiin Niol ya..."

"Yes, Yica will help... Adek it's bobo long afternoon right. but later Yica seein..."

"Thank you Yica was smart..."

Moments passed, the exam had not started, Holly chatted with her two best friends. They still wonder where Holly is. But this time the chat only ensures each other readiness to take the final exam.

"Sister.. hasn't started yet?" Yica came again.

"Yica wasn't..."

"It's Yica love juice let sister vigorously answer..."

"Waah Yica is very understanding, you know your sister is afraid of the same test..."

"Fearful? Brother not studying?"

"There's a..."

"Yes, don't be afraid..."

Holly can always forget a little bit of sadness because this child is like her friend, likes to do something with Holly, in contrast to Via who tends to be more quiet and holds more mobile phones.

"Sister... Why do you like sitting here? Might be morning, noon, night brother's most here..."

"Mmm. big brother likes the view here..."

"Ohh that's it. Everyone who comes here, likes to say so.. uh you know, this is also a favorite place papi, but because my mom is sick, you know, so papi is more often in the room accompany mami..."

Holly threw her gaze downwards, towards the city. Actually it is not a beautiful view of the city down there that attracts his interest to always be here, but rather there is someone he loves living down there, a way he took off his longing was to linger here and look over there.

His job was practically just taking care of Junior and accompanying the children, not too much trouble, instead he was grateful to accept this job because the Rommel family treated him well, different during the previous escape. Here not only was everyone's hospitality earned but all of his needs were noticed by Keke. Deep down he felt like he had found another family in his life.

But still his heart is beautiful. Every time Benaya came down to town, it was like asking to come along because she knew Tenry was now living in his boarding room, wanted to appear in front of Kokonya and admit that it was too heavy to go through this separation. But again the promise to Ci Cun held him back, she was afraid that something more great was happening in the Tenry family.

Six months already, but this heart still felt pain, and it was hard to try to forget and consider Tenry a nobody else in his heart... all the spaces in his life were filled with names and love for Tenry...

So then???
