The Injured
Rest

Echa arrived in Jakarta. A lot of people picked him up to make his heart feel happy. But he did not see his father. The man she missed so much even though it had disappointed her.

As for Rion, powerless to hold back his harbour as Echa smiled and was embraced by his companions.

"Dad here, Deck."

Rion knew his daughter was looking for her whereabouts. Because Echa's pretty eyes don't stop going around every corner of the airport.

Just by seeing his daughter doing well, Rion felt relieved. Clearly, her daughter's smile exuded happiness. Rion can't be selfish. Can't force his will to immediately hug his beautiful daughter. Echa's disappointment, not for a moment. He had to patiently wait for Echa to embrace him. And say "Echa dear Dad."

Echa has arrived at Giondra's mansion. The warm embrace of her twin sisters makes Echa feel like a perfect child.

"Pujuice." Such was the slurred speech of the two twins.

"Let Brother rest, yes." The twins answered the mother's words with a nod of the head. They ran away from her brother.

"Rest, you must be tired." The warm touch of Gio's hand made Echa's heart rustle violently. He imagined, if the hand was his father's hand. He will definitely be happier.

Echa went into the room, obscuring every corner of the room. Nothing has changed, it turns out. He took very good care of his room.

Echa's view was fixed on the figura that Echa had tucked away on her desk. Her lips lifted up perfectly when she saw the photo. Radit Echa's face scrawled with pen. From the eyes, nose, and lips, Echa scribbles with colorful ink. To make Radit's handsome face looks abstract.

"This is proof of my cruelty" he murmured with a chuckle.

Ayanda and Gio who were watching her daughter from behind the door developed a smile.

"It looks like Echa has forgotten her trauma" Ayanda added.

"Leave a sense of disappointment that is still lodged in his heart." Ayanda stared fixedly at Gio with a clueless look.

"It's a little difficult to reunite Echa with Rion again" Gio said.

Ayanda just sighed harshly. Just what her husband said. Rion had already given a deep enough disappointment to Echa. And Echa is a very emotional child.

"Slow down, Daddy told Rion. And he understands."

After resting, Echa looked for her mama. It turns out he was in the back yard.

"Mah." Mah." Ayanda turned to look at Echa. A smile also fell on his lips.

"What's up, brother?" Echa immediately hugged Ayanda's body so tightly.

Actually there is a little fear in Echa's heart of the return of knitted love between himself and Radit. Because when the news of Radit circulated, Ayanda swore an oath to Radit. Hatred was very visible on her beautiful face.

"How's it going in Ausi? You happy?" Echa nodded slowly.

"Thank God, Mom is worried about you, brother."

"Mama doesn't want to see you grieve and cry anymore. Seeing you like that, Mamah felt like she had failed to take care of you." Echa further tightened her embrace to Ayanda.

"Don't talk like that, Mah. Mamah has taken care of Echa very, very well. Caring for Echa with compassion. Sacrificing a lot to make Echa happy. Until Mamah willingly change the happiness of Mamah to make Echa happy. That's more than enough, Mah."

"I'm sorry, it can't be a proud child yet" Echa continued in a heavy tone.

Ayanda hugged her daughter's body tightly. Pecking Echa's head lovingly.

"You are the jewel of the heart of Mama. Whatever Mom would do for you. For your brothers. That has become the duty of Mamah," said Ayanda who was unable to hold back her tears.

"Well, is Mamah still angry and resentful of Radit?" A very careful speech came out from Echa's mouth.

Ayanda did not answer. He looked at the look on the princess's face that looked a little doubtful and fearful.

"Why are you asking that?" A question answered with another question.

Echa's heart rate is racing a little. Moreover, his Mom's voice sounded very tight in Echa's ears. So that he did not dare to look at the face of the Mamah.

"Why are you silent? Or maybe you ...."

"I'm sorry Echa, Mah. Forgive Echa," he said.

"If Mamah still hates Brother Radit. Angered by Radit's brother, Echa will harbor all of Echa's feelings for him. Echa didn't want to make Mama angry. Because Mamah's anger indicates that Echa is an ungodly child. And it's hell that's gonna wait for Echa."

"Do you still love her?" An emphasis-filled question.

"If Mamah doesn't approve. Echa will end. Restu Mamah is the most important, for the sake of Echa's happiness."

"If Mamah doesn't approve. Are you leaving Radit?"

Echa took her breath first before answering a question from her Mom. Echa nodded her head. His heart refused that.

"It's a real shame you're a girl" Ayanda said. Echa began to dare to hold her head up. A beautiful smile is engraved on the little lips of the mother.

"You forgot, yeah. Mom and Dad are always watching you. How were your days there. Whatever you do with Radit. And how you treated Radit when Radit lay sick. Mom knows everything, brother."

"You make Echa afraid," he lamented with a sullen face.

Ayanda smiled and hugged her daughter's body again. "Mamah blesses you with Radit. Radit's a good boy, Mamah knows that well. And Radit is no different than you. A child born with less affection."

"But, Echa is still lucky Mah. Because you've never been rude to Echa." Hearing Echa say the word Father made Ayanda's heart feel relieved. His daughter still loves her father. And that was evident from the very soft-sounding speech in Ayanda's ears.

"What about Radit's Papyrus? Does he approve of you too?"

Echa was silent to hear it. He doesn't know if Radit's papih likes him or not. There was concern in Echa's heart. But, Echa behaves in the bodo period. Radit will fight for it. Although Radit was betrothed as well, it was certain Radit would refuse. And prefers himself. What a very confident mind.

"Again or not, surely Brother Radit will fight to get his Papih blessing. Radit's brother is not a passionate man. He is the one who never gives up."

"If Om doesn't approve of you, will you elope?"

The voice that made Echa slightly surprised and was silent for a moment. Slowly Echa turned her body. Addhitama was behind him with Papa.

"Jawab, Om wants to hear the answer."

"That depends on Radit, Om. Echa come along. It doesn't hurt to fight first. The matter of blessing, later will also be obtained as time goes by."

Addhitama gently rubbed Echa's head while smiling proudly at this girl.

"How can Om refuse it."

Echa and her parents smiled happily at Addhitama. "Can Om hug us?"

Echa also hugged Addhitama's body. "Thank you for loving your child, Om. Thanks for healing his wound."
