The hospital park was so crowded with patients this morning. Maybe they were oversaturated for too long lying in a hospital bed, and wanted to breathe air this morning.
In one of the wooden chairs in the garden, the two brothers sat in silence. If Lily is silent and doesn't know what to say for the opening line in starting this conversation, Alana is silent in order to hold back her tears. She didn't want to cry, because if she cried, there were two possibilities.
First, Lily will cry, both Lily will be embarrassed to see patients and their families who are in the park, because Alana will cry as loud as possible.
"Hey.." said Lily turned to face Alana who was still down.
"When was the last time we sat together? it seems like a long time ago.kangen when we sit in our favorite eskrim cafe. I'll take you to school, then we'll go have fun. If time can be turned on deck" Lily said with a vibrating voice. This time Alana could no longer hold back.
His eyes were red withstanding the soreness of the clear liquid that wanted to fall on his cheeks. "I don't want to talk to my sister" he said, again throwing his face away.
"Al.." call Lily again. But the girl was still staring in the other direction. There were two little girls with similar faces, Alana guessed they were brother and sister, because the dress was the same. Not twins, but they must be brother. The two hugged each other, walked and laughed cheerfully in the garden.
"Alana Adhinata" called Lily wiping away her tears that fell on her cheeks.
"I hate you, brother, don't talk to me!"
"Don't hate me dong, I'll be sad"
"Bodo" Alana is like a child whose sadness burns the heart, eager to shout out in annoyance but not knowing how to vent it.
"Al. will you hug me? just a moment, please.." Lily's voice no longer just quivered, but the girl was already sobbing.
Alana turned her head, looked with an angry look, and then hugged her brother. Man is the only one who can survive this far in his life, since he was thrown out.
Both of them did not care about the gaze of the person passing by from in front of them. They just kept crying out all the sadness and crush in his heart.
In the room earlier Alana was silent a thousand languages while accompanying Lily chemo. The girl gasped as Alana appeared in the room. He did not expect that Alana would follow him. Throughout the process of chemo Alana just silent, watching the body of the brother who became weak after being given the drug by the doctor and asked for a week ahead should be a complete rest.
"Why didn't you tell me the same story, brother? you're evil to keep your own burdens" isak Alana unraveled their embrace.
Lily just smiled in response to Alana's words, clasping her sister's hand full of affection. If it wasn't for her in-laws' demands, Lily vowed never to be selfishly destroying Alana's life and future. Regret always comes too late. God seems to have a plan for all of this.
One thing Lily said, if she left later, she had calmed down her soulmate to her beloved sister. The two people he loved most in his life. He's sincere. It is precisely if she leaves, and Arun lives with another girl, Lily will not agree.
Even if Alana was not married to Arun at that time, and at this time she knew the illness would take her from Arun's side, then Lily would act selfishly, asking Alana to marry Arun. Too much love for the man, and he is sure, Alana is the right girl to leave her love for Arun.
"What are you talking about, brother? don't let me hit you!" alana's tears kept falling. "You're not going anywhere, you're going to be okay. I'm not letting you go, I'm not letting you go" she cried as she pleased.
"But we have to be prepared for the worst, right? please, come back to Arun, for me and Arlan"
"I don't want to. That's your husband. You take care of yourself. Don't want to nitip bang Arun on me. Brother..sister.I beg you not to do this. I won't be able to lose you brother. I'm afraid to live alone. All this time I could only lean on you, don't leave me sister.." Alana's cries exploded. Her hand kept stroking Lily's arm, like a child was afraid of her mother.
Lily could not hold back her tears. "Al..do not cry anymore, said the doctor if I cry and sad, my endurance is getting weaker" whispered Lily. What he said was true, the more emotional he was, the more tired he felt. His body seemed unable to withstand even more grief.
Hearing that, Alana hastily stopped her crying. Tears were still running, she still wanted to cry but for Lily's health, she was trying to hold herself back. Alana smothered her mouth, so as not to let out a cry. Shortness of breath and throat felt choked but he tried to divert his mind so as not to cry.
"Udah yes dear.we go home yok. My head was dizzy, and this was so limp" without a sound Alana just nodded.
Before Alana got up to finish Lily, her sister pulled back. "I beg you, do not tell this to anyone, especially Arun, Al" just a nod that Alana gave. She will obey whatever Lily tells her now, as long as her brother is by her side.
***
Last night Alana did not sleep, Lily's condition was very disturbing. She wants herself to take care of her brother. She still wanted to believe that her brother would be fine, would be cured.
She did promise to keep Lily's condition a secret from anyone, but she thought Arun as Lily's husband should know the circumstances of her brother.

Morning came, Alana was overwhelmed with laziness. He didn't want to go to the shop today. As quickly as she could Alana prepared, bringing the already handsome looking Arlan towards Lily's house.
"Arlan baby, we're going to Lily's house, okay?" he said he walked out of the house. Pushing Stroller Arlan towards Lily's house. This morning the sky was clear, adding to Alana's spirit.
It only took ten minutes, Alana arrived at Lily's house. Titin tells Lily that she's in her room. Just about to step into the room, Alana's steps were stopped by the booming voice of a woman.
"Stop right there" the hardship. Instantly Alana turned around, surprised because it turned out that the one who stopped her steps was Ema, Arun's mother. "Why can my grandson be with you so early? I saw you come out of that house with my granddaughter? whose house is that? why did you get out of there with Arlan?"
