Norah began to learn to sit. Although still not allowed to lower her legs to the floor, but the woman was happy because her back was not hot because of too much lying down. Norah was able to move both of her legs slowly. The smile bloated in her lips made Leona and Zion happy too.
"Darling, don't force it. Don't move too much" Leona said. Although Norah's face was brighter, but Leona did not want to let Norah tired.
"Ma, I want to get well quickly so I can see Austin. She must have been so busy that no one had visited me until now."
Leona and Zion look at each other Hearing Norah's statement makes them feel guilty. "It seems like the right time to tell Norah the true state of Austin" Zion murmured inwardly.
"Zion, mama's coming home. Can you take care of your sister? I also want to go to Opa Zen's house. That bodyguard there said that Daisy had a fever last night." Leona picked up her things and put them in a bag. "Remember Zion. Take good care of your sister. Mama doesn't want a similar incident in Norah or Daisy."
Leona's orders are like a whip to Zion. He felt slapped because he had twice failed to look after his sister. This will be the last warning. Zion has sworn to herself that Norah and Daisy will always be safe.
"Well, Ma," Zion replied with a face of no friendship. Leona knew there was something else about her son. He approached Zion and gently rubbed Zion's hair.
"Mama knows your burden as a heavy first child. But my mom is old too. Mama can't be as active as before. You're the only hope of mama and papa Zion. Take care of them until they get married. Can you?"
"What if Brother Zion finds her soul mate and marries Ma? Mama can't keep blaming Brother Zion for the trouble that's plaguing me and Daisy. Zion is not wrong. Me and Daisy were wrong for being less careful" defended Norah. She didn't want her brother to be cornered like that. He was given such a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. "Me and Daisy aren't kids anymore either. So is Zion, Ma. We should have thought about mom and dad. We three ma. Not just Zion!"
Zion looked at Norah with a look of disbelief. So wicked is Zion when it comes to her sister's life. He is so cruel that he makes strange rules that are sometimes beyond common sense. But now, in front of him his sister defended him. Zion did not mind the burden she carried. But Norah's defense made her proud.
"Norah, mom loves you three very much. My mom doesn't want to give this burden to anyone. I just want the best for the three of you. So far our enemy no one has dared to harass your brother. Only Daisy is always on the line. Therefore mama feels that actually our family is not compact. We still have a gap to beat."
"And that loophole is on Daisy, what do you mean by mama?" sahut Norah's.
"Norah, mama didn't say that Daisy was a weakness in our family. Mama just wanted to say that ..all enemies are always after her. But mama has no solution to prevent all these problems from happening."
"Daisy will be able to martial arts and shoot ma. Mama take it easy. After returning home from the hospital, Norah will train Daisy. Norah will make Daisy a great woman. Even better than Norah."
"But Daisy's physique isn't as strong as the two of you. Daisy gets sick easily. Sickness. Many sick thoughts. Mama won't force Daisy, Norah. Is there no other way than to force Daisy to go into martial arts?"
"Enough .. is enough." Zion speak up. His head was about to break hearing the debate of the two women before him. "Norah, Mama. Zion's still alive. Ruled or ungoverned, Zion will keep Zion's family. Not because Zion's the first kid. But because Zion feels able to protect the Zion family. Zion asks Daisy to practice basic martial arts. It doesn't have to be as good as Norah. It also helps protect it from petty criminals. Or his girlfriend." Again, he related it to Foster. "At least when he was hurt, he had the power to slap his girlfriend's face with full force!"
"You're talking about what Zion is. Mama's getting dizzy" lamented Leona.
"Mama was going home. Yes ma. Go home there. It seems like mama needs a lot of rest to be able to think clearly," Norah lay down again.
"alright. Mama's going home, baby." Leona kisses the heads of Zion and Norah in turn. Without saying much more Leona immediately left the room.
"You shouldn't have argued with Mama like that. Mama is old. He just wants the best for his son" Zion protested.
"I don't want my mom to keep pushing my sister. That's all!" sahut Norah's. He looked at the ceiling with a smile. Suddenly, his mischievous nature relapsed. "Sister."
"Hem," said Zion lazily. From the tone of the call it was already visible if there was a wrong question that would be said.
"What kind of woman do you like?"
"meaning?" Zion scrunched her forehead confused.
"Type a woman like me or Daisy?"
"You're asking brother to choose between you and Daisy?"
"Not not." Norah sighed. He tried to sit down again.
"What are you doing?"Zion helps Norah sit down.
"I mean ... will you marry a woman like what?"
"Unthought of." Zion sat down. "Surely she also loves you, Daisy, mom, dad and all our family."
"How do you know if he loves our family how?"
Norah laughed. "I'm looking for a big brother. Who knows," said Norah interspersed with laughter.
"Norah!" zion protests. "Don't do anything silly like that."
"If it's not searched, it won't be found."
"But not now" Zion said.
"When then? When viewed from the nature of a brother like this, brother will long meet the soul mate. Any woman who wants to be just as fierce and cranky as big brother."
"If there is?" challenge Zion.
Norah narrowed both her eyes. "I'll jump off the plane and shout brother's name in the sky" Norah said.
"Hold your promise!"
"OK," Norah said with confidence.
"I'll meet him soon," Zion replied brimming with confidence.
"It must be beautiful and rich, brother," Norah bargained.
"You're this." Zion put on a serious face again. "Norah, there's actually something important I've been wanting to tell you since last night."
"What's important, brother?"
"It's about Austin."
"Austin's? What happened to Austin?" Norah got very serious.
"Actually Austin was treated in this hospital as well. His leg was injured. He's in the next room."
"What's? Why hasn't my sister told me since yesterday? Take me brother. I want to meet him." Norah's face was panicked.
"This is what you're worried about. Norah, relax. Austin is fine. Brother will take him to this room. But you promise to get well soon."
"No need brother. I can come alone."
Zion and Norah are shocked by Austin's appearance in the room. He could not resist the longing until he forced himself to meet Norah. There's Uncle Tano in charge of pushing his wheelchair.
"Austin?" lirih Norah's. "Are you okay?" Norah looked at Zion with an annoyed look. "Bad brother. Why is he keeping Austin a secret?"
"Norah, calm down" said Austin.
"Please take care of my sister." Zion gave Uncle Tano a code to get out. They deliberately gave time to Austin and Norah.
After the door closed again, Austin looked at Norah and smiled kindly. "How are you?"
"Austin, I'm so worried about you. Why are you so relaxed?"
"Norah, are you mad at me?"
"Yes. I'm mad at you and Zion. You've been lying to me."
Austin took Norah's hand and kissed her. Suddenly the man pinned a ring on Norah's ring finger.
"Austin, what is this?"
"After we get out of the hospital, we'll get married."
