The early morning airport. Gina and Surya walked out of the arrival gate. The atmosphere looks empty. This is not the airport of the capital of the country so at these hours the flight is not crowded.


Gina pulled her suitcase out of the airport. Surya walked around looking for the taxi they were going to ride to the last stop. He then headed to a parked taxi with the driver standing in front while enjoying his cigarette.


"Can you take us, sir?" Ask Surya. The taxi driver immediately repaired the location.


"Yes Sir. Let me take you." The driver threw out his half-smoked cigarette.


Without a warning, the driver opened the baggage door. Surya put Gina's suitcase in it. Gina got into the cab. The morning air was very cold and he chose to rush to save himself so as not to freeze.


Taxis started to drive out of the airport. After telling them where they were going, Surya went back to silence. It was just that he had said something to Gina.


"You can go back to sleep, miss. Our journey is still 3 hours away. So you can still rest."


"From now on you always tell me to sleep. I'm the sleeping princess." Gerricks Gina. Surya heard that and smiled briefly.


Gina glanced at him. He knew Surya was not having the desire to give Gina as usual. His heart had actually jumped far away to where his father was being treated.


Because Gina had slept on the plane, this time she could no longer keep her eyes closed. He was nervous because he was bored. Suddenly Surya thrust a chocolate bar studded with cashews at him. Gina looked at Surya's hand with chocolate in her hand.


"You, bring chocolate?"


"I bought it while you were in the toilet earlier." Gina received the chocolate.


"I'm sorry because you haven't even had a chance to have dinner. And now it's almost morning but you haven't eaten anything." Surya looked at Gina with a guilty look.


"When on the plane you also sleep soundly so I think pity if you wake me up to eat." This time Surya gave a smile to her.


"I still have some, you can spend it."


"Thank you, just being a hungry procrastinator is enough." Gina chews her chocolate. After that there was no more conversation. After spending a bar of chocolate as well as a bottle of mineral water that Surya bought, Gina chose to enjoy the trip. He felt bad about leaving Surya to sleep. Although they did not talk, according to Gina at least he did not fall asleep and now it is time to accompany Surya who was awake last night during the trip.


Gina occasionally glanced at Surya. His face was full of cloudiness. It seemed that worry from the look in his eyes.


The sun began to show its tinge. Gina could see it because the taxi she was riding was going east. This is a sign that the morning is coming soon. And sure enough, slowly but surely the morning light began to light up little by little. After the sun was really visible, Gina could see along the right and left side of the road there was a vast expanse of rice fields stretching green. Gina's eyes immediately sparkled at the sight. A rare sight he found where he lived.


Unknowingly Gina opened the window the side she was sitting on. From there he could feel an extremely cold air burst in and hit his face. Gina inhaled it strongly and exhaled it until it was completely relieved. Surya who saw Gina's behavior so smiled. The first gentle smile since he received news of his father.


"Surya, the trip to your house is still a long time?" Gina asked as she turned her eyes to Surya.


"Let's be here any minute, miss."


"Is your home in a place like this?"


"Yes Miss, my village has been the best producer of rice for years."


"Many rice fields?"


"the river?"


"There's Miss."


"Mount?"


"Yes, there's Miss." Surya replied like he was responding to a little child who was very enthusiastic to see the scenery around him when following an excursion.


"But it is not a mountain but a hill."


"Gee..." Gina sparkled hearing Surya's words. Seemed very happy on his face after hearing the description of the village of Surya. He was getting impatient to arrive at Surya village soon.


After passing through the rice fields and also passing the highway that rises and decreases, Gina finally began to be able to see one or two houses on the side of the road that she passed. Then further away began to see many houses lined up. That indicates he began to enter a village. Then after that he entered a large gate with the name of a district of the city. After that the taxi they were riding around a city park. With trees around and benches underneath. It must be very comfortable sitting there. On one side of the park there is also a children's playground with various swings. But for this early morning the city park looks still very quiet. There was no activity from the townspeople there. Surya watched Gina who was still looking out for her blemish.


Eventually the taxi that Gina and Surya boarded stopped at a hospital in the city. A general hospital area. Gina saw a big signboard on the front of the building.


Surya got off in the taxi and paid some of his fare. He was about to step in but Gina had not yet stepped out of the taxi. Surya approached Gina and opened the taxi door. Gina looked at Surya with a strange look. Surya returned Gina's gaze to find out what her gaze meant. Until Surya finally remembered something.


"Alright, Miss. You can stay here." Surya finally understood why Gina's attitude was so. Then Surya turned his body to leave Gina in the taxi and intended to enter. But Gina grabbed Surya's hand and held him back.


"I'm in." Gina said as she exited the taxi. Then the taxi driver opened the trunk to take out Gina's suitcase.


Doubtful Gina began to step her foot towards the hospital entrance that had changed a lot. When Gina came to this hospital about 12 years ago this hospital only consisted of 2 floors and now on the right side of the building has been changed to 3 floors. The hospital is getting bigger with a wider side yard to park the rows of cars of its visitors.


Surya knew before Gina stepped in, she had a heavy sigh. Surya knew what was going on with Gina and without permission he held her hand. From the tail of her eyes, Surya could see Gina turning to look at him. But Surya pretended not to know that and just kept going. Meanwhile his right hand was still pulling Gina's suitcase.


They're passing through the ICU. Gina caught a glimpse from outside where she was walking. Suddenly his memory was refreshed by a past memory.


Gina got out of the car and half ran after her Papa. He did not even wait for his mother who was left behind. He wants to get to Roby, his brother.


A young man lying in the ICU room is his beloved older brother who died a short while ago. Not yet had he seen the arrival of Gina and her parents, Roby has gone home after the accident that hit him. Gina's cry broke out instantly. Someone who when saying goodbye to go only for a few days. But now that Gina sees Roby can no longer speak. Can't tease him. Can't cheer him up. Can't treat him as the luckiest little brother in the whole world to have a brother as good as Roby.


Gina's mind starts to get distracted when Surya who stops in front of one of the rooms stays and then opens it. Ibu Surya was sitting on the sofa in the room. Mr. Surya looks to be sleeping. Surya entered slowly greeted his mother who stood up shortly after seeing the arrival. Surya approached his mother and kissed her hand. Gina followed and kissed her mother-in-law's hand as well.


"You guys straight here?" Ask Surya's mother.


"Yes, Mom."


"Sit. Let me tell Joko to buy breakfast." Then his mother stood up.


"Name it Joko?" His mother intends to go out to find Joko.


"No need, Mom. Let us go ourselves. Don't go anywhere and accompany me." Surya forbade it because he knew maybe even his mother did not sleep all night to wait for Mr. Wiro. Just then someone opened the door. A long haired girl with a pretty face appeared from behind the door.


"Miss..." Surya Mumbles. Gina who was standing next to Surya had seen a different twinkle when Surya smiled at the girl. Gina suddenly felt something uncomfortable being in that situation.
