THE HEIR
OPENING OF ARIMBI HOSPITAL
"Zul, you just follow your mother-in-law's will" Bu Ijah interrupted the conversation between two people who had earlier argued"He better understands your son's condition"
Ms. Minah looked at her two grandchildren"If we take her to the Hospital, the doctor will not find any symptoms Zul.It could be this oddity will be material for research.Because your child is special"The old woman expressed her reasons.
"I don't want to lose them, Mom" complained Zulkarnain.
"I don't want Zul either, they're my only offspring, my family, my flesh blood.If I could exchange my life for ransom, I'd do it willingly"
"Then should we how about Mom?"Zulkarnain has resigned.
"We'll just wait until they're conscious"
Bu Minah solidified the final decision that Zulkarnain would inevitably have to agree to.
"I'll be here with them, you rest" Bu Minah sat on the lip of the bed right next to Lisa.
Zulkarnain threw a glance at Bu Ijah, his aunt nodded as code.Zulkarnain finally left his in-laws accompanying his children in the room.

Night crept so slowly, Zulkarnain lay agitated.He could not open his eyes because he was too worried about the situation of his daughters.Indeed he took care of the twins, but the wishes of his mother-in-law did not dare he object.
When the morning prayer rang, Zulkarnain immediately cleaned himself and did his duty to Allah SWT.After that he immediately went to the room of the twins to find out his development.
Without knocking on the door first, Zulkarnain went straight into the unlocked room.He saw his mother-in-law stroking Lucy's hair while then blowing her hair.The same thing he did to Lisa.
Zulkarnain walked over slowly, He sat on the lip of the bed where Lisa lay."Is there no progress, ma'am?"
Ms. Minah just shook her head slowly"Lisa should have been awake, because she was much better than Lucy"
Zulkarnain looked at his daughters painfully "Is there nothing we can do to help them, Mom?"
Ms. Minah was speechless, she stroked Lisa's cheeks gently"There's only one way"
Zulkarnain was stunned, like a hope he could reach.As entangled in the darkness endowed with the light of despair."Is that Mom?"Zulkarnain asked expectantly.
"We have to sacrifice one of them"
"What???No!!!I don't want to"Zulkarnain balked.
"If not we'll lose them"
Zulkarnain stared fixedly at Bu Minah, though his gaze was unrequited.
"One of them must drink his sister's blood until it is left, and the one who drinks her sister's blood will be saved."
"That's so cruel, ma'am"
"It's the only way there is"
Zulkarnain shook his head, he could not accept this decision.He wanted both to live not just one of them.
"You think carefully, or you will lose both" Bu Minah continued, Zulkarnain rose and left Bu Minah with a poor heart.There is no way he sacrificed one of his Daughters for the life of his other daughter,although he agreed later.Who will be sacrificed?? both are his favorite daughters.
Zulkarnain was stuck with Nouval who had just come down the attic,"Papa??Where's it?"Nouval looked back at his Papa.
"From your sister's room"Jawab Zulkarnain short.He also threw his ass out of the available dining chairs.
"They didn't go to school today, because they were sick" Zulkarnain explained before anyone asked.
"Hurt again??what pain Pa kok always sick"Tanya Nouval so innocent.Zulkarnain confused to explain what, he silent a thousand languages.
"When Lucy's sister is really good, can I be sick?"
"His name is also human, the creation of God.Lucy is indeed powerful but certainly has a weakness"Laras took over to answer Nouval's question while busy arranging food on the table.Nouval mangosteen-beard sign understand.
Zulkarnain was amazed by Laras' explanation, so he remembered the last words of his daughter they met.She called Laras name as a good mother candidate.
Niken who realized her husband was looking at Laras until he forgot to blink his eyes, became jealous.He nudged her husband's arm withhold growled.
Zulkarnain so excited, he also took bread to cover to the salting.
"What jam do you want to wear, sir?"Baras asked gently to make Zulkarnain groggy.
"There is no need to overdo it with people's husbands" Kimpal Niken rose up to take Bread from Zulkarnain's plate and smeared it with her husband's favorite chocolate jam.
"So jealous"So late as the manyun.
At that moment Bu Minah was present among them, she was sitting in a normal place between Bu Ijah and Laras.
"How are the children?"Zulkarnain kept asking the same question.Bu Minah just shook her head slowly.
"Maybe Lisa's gonna be conscious any minute, I'm gonna eat first" Jayab Bu Minah.

With a strong determination, Lisa dialed Andrew's number.
"Hallo"Andrew replied from across.
"Where are you?"Lisa wanted to know.
"Home, again get ready to go to school"
"Can I meet you for a minute"
"Now?"
"Yes"
"Why not in school?"
"I'm absent now"
"Why?"
"I'll tell you, the numbers are coming now yes"
"Where?"
"To my house, I wait behind the House"
"What do you mean?"Andrew felt strange at Lisa's request.
"Come, but through the back door.I beg you"
No answer in a moment.
"You want?"
"Emmmm okay but not for long, right?"
"No"
"OK!"
"Thanks"
Lisa smiled meaningfully, she got up to grab her hood and came out quietly through the back door.
***
With misgivings Lisa is waiting for Andrew in her backyard.He is afraid that her meeting with Andrew will be known by other residents of the house.
Before long, Andrew emerged from behind the back gate that Lisa accidentally opened since earlier.
"What the hell is that?how do you want to meet gini?Like a dating person who is backstreet again"Andrew nagged at length but Lisa only responded with a smile.He asked Andrew to sit in the long chair available there.
"Drew. I want to apologize to you" Lisa started the conversation.
"For what?"
"Because ever since we know you I've always troubled you, it's your duty to be my guardian so that I can always be close to you"
Andrew just nodded slowly.
"You seriously like Lucy?"
Lisa's question immediately made the look on Andrew's face change.Lisa let out a long sigh, she threw her gaze at the leaves of the acacia tree that surrounded her house.
"Please take care of Lucy ya Drew, because you like her you can definitely take good care of her"
"You're talking about it anyway, like people just want to die" cursed Andrew.Lisa smiled discordantly.
"Lucy has never made love before, he is closed but kind.He is quiet but patient.His heart is gentle and his mind matures.For others he is strange, but to me he is special"
"From the sight of my people who always protected him, but in fact he always protected me"
Lisa searched the sentence, her hands clasped Andrew's hands tightly"Please don't you ever let her down"
Andrew seemed hypnotized by the gaze of Lisa who seemed to stem his cry.Although he did not understand what happened, but his head nodded slowly signifying the ability.
Lisa smiled with satisfaction at the answer of the man she admired so much.He pulled Andrew's head and landed a kiss on the man's lips.
Andrew's perfectly rounded eyes received such an aggressive treatment from Lisa.Although it was only a few seconds, but enough to make merry all over her body.
"Go"Lisa got up and went into her house.Andrew had not had time to say anything.
