To My Youth
CHAPTER 34

Both Lyra and Andheera were standing behind the door of the room, frowning simultaneously, confused by Anha's last sentence stating that Andheera could not fight and Andhea was a weak girl.

For all this is contrary to the true self of Andheera.

                “Anha you really don't know Andheera hhahahaha, you know seb.”

Krreett.The sound of Lyra's door opening, Lyra and Anha turned to the door at the same time. The two looked slightly surprised by Andheera's unexpected presence.

                “Andheera, instead of me telling you to rest, why did you come back here?” anha asked in astonishment, looking at Andheera who was walking slowly closer to her.

                “aku... I'm fine, you're the only one home I'll be keeping watch here.” Andheera.

                “no need, here are many nurses who can help me, you two go home. Instead if I go home later you guys have to pick me up okay.” Lyra cried complete with a big smile.

                “kak is sick where can be left alone.” Anha chuckles.

                “what's wrong, besides you don't have to work right, I'm fine ko.” Said Lyra again.

                “iya anyway, briefly I will ask my mother for help.” said Anha while reaching for a phone from her Jins pocket then intend to call her mother.

                “Anha.. (Lyra stopped Anha's fingers from continuing her intention to call her mother) I'm fine believe me, if anything happens I will call you okay.” Lyra and Anha remained stupefied with her stance, making Andheera turn both her eyes lazy to face useless debates like this.

                “well, then after my part time is done I will return, brother want me to bring food what? My brother is very good at cooking, I know that hospital food is not good hehehe.” Anha relented for now, but in the end she still could not leave Lyra alone at night.

                “Anha..” has not had time for Lyra to finish her sentence but Andheera has already snatched with her rude words.

                “can you go now, you don't see brother Lyra uncomfortable being you here.” Andheera snaps because she wants to stop the debate between Lyra and Anha.

                “bu.. not so I mean.” Lyra was at a loss for words as Andheera instead spoke sarcastically like that.

                “iya alright I go now.” say goodbye Anha then get up and walk out.

                “can you take care of your words Andheera a little, you are really.” Lyra said as Anha left.

                “I just hate to hear useless debates, (said Andheera who then sat at Anha's place earlier) brother Lyra needs something?”

                “doesn't I tell you to go home too.” said Lyra slightly raised her tone because she was still upset with Andheera's attitude just now.

                “oke.” response Andheera while getting up from her seat.

                “wait, (Lyra stopped, even though she was just chatting but Andheera took it seriously) you are not sensitive at all.” Ketus Lyra was upset because of Andheera's cold attitude.

                “what the heck complicated, say yes if yes and vice versa, do not need to convoluted.” complained Andheera while folding both hands on the chest and then sitting back.

                “iya yes well you do not have heart.” Lyra muttered softly.

                “I die if I don't have a heart.” Reply Andheera again still with his cold tone.

                “astaga!!” lyra's Overest.

                “don't tell anyone I can fight.” Andheera said as she looked at Lyra's face.

                “why?” lyra asked not understand why she had to keep it a secret.

                “only..”

                “hmm alright, you're running?” ask Lyra again while paying attention to Andheera's suit from top to bottom.

                “iya, what really happened last night?” Andheera suddenly discussed something else.

                “they were my enemies when I was studying abroad, I did not expect them all to follow me until here hahahaa. oiia, thank you for coming.” Lyra said in her pure tone.

                “if sister Lyra has the opportunity to call, sister Lyra should call the police instead of me, what if I ignore you.” he explained while staring at Lyra sticky.

                “because I believe you, Andheera.” replied Lyra then smiled sweetly making the haughty girl speechless for a while.

“just like you believe in Anha, so the first person you contact is Anha.” Added.

 Andheera was still silent as she stared intently at the eyes of Lyra who was also looking at her with a sweet smile, as if there was something Andheera wanted to say but her other self was trying to hold her back.

Knowing that made Lyra widen her smile.

“stop looking at me with that kind of look, do you like me Andheera?” lyra's sentence made Andheera come to her senses.

                “chi..!! how long will Lyra be treated?” questions that change the topic.

                “about 3 or 4 days you will pick me up right?” Lyra.

                “iya think of it as a reply because sister Lyra has sewed my wound 2 times, so I will help you 2 times too, after that break even.” Legally.

                “hmm, are you going to continue like this Andheera?”

                “apa?”

                “i do not know how deep your wounds in the past, so that you can form a person like this, like this, but can't you just slowly go out and take a helping hand from your friends, you can't just keep locking yourself up alone Andheera.” Lyra tried to make Andheera aware of his rude attitude so far was enough to make himself confined.

                “if no one brother Lyra needs I'll go.” Andheera ignores the word Lyra by avoiding it.

                “you are very stubborn Andheera.” muttered Lyra while sharpening her eyes towards Andheera.

                “i have been misunderstood from birth, those who have a negative outlook on me, should I trust the people around me now?” Andheera reasoned that he was not to blame.

                “just because those who have ever looked at you negatively does not mean all will think the same.” refute Lyra with a high tone of voice.

Again Andheera is not a person who will listen to the words of others well, let alone Lyra, Vivian who has been friends with him for a long time can never change his mindset.

Andheera got up from the seat intending to leave Lyra still wanting to talk to Andheera, Lyra only fell silent for a moment while watching Andheera's footsteps walk towards the door.

                “contact me if you come home later, I'll drive Lyra home.” Without looking, Andheera said her last words before opening the door and leaving.

Outside, the girl's slender, beautiful gaze seemed empty her small steps down the hospital aisle seemed a little restrained, slowly Andheera raised her small hand and then put it on the wall, he made the wall as a handle so that he could continue to walk to his destination.

All of this was also heavy for him, not Andheera's willingness to stay shut out of everyone who wanted to be close to him, only that the stigma was attached to him.

It is not easy to step into the outside world and come back to believe in the people next to him.

Moreover, in adults who corner him, to make little Andheera really think if he is different, he is scary not worthy of having a friend.

But..

After meeting Vivian, Lyra, Anha the walls of her defense began to erode, as if her long-freezing heart was now slowly melting away, all the things that Andheera was trying to hide in her strong person seemed obvious they saw her.

Could it be time for him to come out of this dark room that locked his soul alone and start a new life.

***

The Reza residence.

Although Reza had offered to take her in-laws home, Diana still wanted to go alone because she had to stop by somewhere first.

After a few hours Reza went to work, Diana decided to leave because she had finished packing her clothes.

He walked down the stairs with a suitcase filled with clothes in his hand, seeing that Andromeda who was relaxing below immediately rushed to Diana to bring her sizable suitcase.

                “let me bring omma, (toward Andromeda and take over bring her grandmother's suitcase down the stairs) omma sure will go alone, he said, let me accompany yaa I'll take a few days off.” They walked side by side down the stairs.

                “no need, omma is not alone, there is Mina who accompanies omma, after all omma wants to go somewhere first before returning to bandung.” Diana chuckles.

                “so, Mina will be back with omma thank God, omma will go where it used to be?” andromeda asked on her way out to the car that had been prepared to drive Diana.

                “Yogyakarta, it's your grandfather's birthday, omma will visit him for a while.” Her papar.

Note: Yogyakarta is the birthplace of Andheera and Andromeda's grandfathers. Bandung was the city that brought together Andheera's grandparents, they both decided to stay hummed, but after the death of Andheera's grandfather in cremation in his hometown.

Andromeda's steps stopped after hearing Diana's goal, he only realized that today was his grandfather's birthday and no one remembered him except Diana herself.

                “nothing, you can visit him next time Andromeda, because this time omma wants to go alone.” Diana said softly as she touched Andromeda's face it was clear that she felt guilty for forgetting about it.

                “good omma, tell grandfather if I miss him so much and I will visit another time with Andheera.” Andromeda stepped back, then he put Diana's suitcase into the trunk of the car.

Before long, Mina also came out of the back door while carrying a large enough suitcase after saying goodbye to other ART who had worked with her for a long time, he was finally able to return home a sign his mission had been completed to guard Andheera.

He walked while sharing his sweet smile for Diana who was waiting for him beside the car he was going to ride.

Andromeda is happy to help Mina put her big suitcase into the trunk of the car followed by saying goodbye and also expressed her gratitude, because she had considered him a family during her stay here.

If it wasn't for Andheera's rude attitude, maybe Mina wouldn't mind working forever with the Reza family.

                “if working with omma is boring, sister Mina can come back here I will definitely miss brother Mina and also thank you for everything.” Andromeda said after putting Mina's suitcase in the trunk.

He looked at Mina's face as if he felt hard to take off Mina who had helped him a lot over the past 7 years.

                “may I hug you.” pinta Mina while smiling towards Andromeda.

                “of course, you've been like an older sister to me, sister Mina helped me a lot in learning should be sister Mina became a teacher instead of ART.” Murmuring Andromeda who hugged Mina, Mina just smiled as she gently rubbed Andromeda's wide back.

                “ayo Mina.” Diana ends Andromeda's cuddling with Mina.

Diana felt that she was quite happy because she had to go to the airport immediately, Diana got into the car and followed by Mina.

Andromeda was still standing until the car he was riding in had gone out of his sight.

                “my sister is doing what yes.” Andromeda muttered softly before turning back inside the house.

***

Jiso Apartment.

After finishing his bath and wearing his clothes he intended to dry his long hair using a hair dryer, both eyes of his door glanced at the phone beside him.

For a moment he seemed hesitant but he could not control his arm to pick up the phone and put a hair dryer for a moment.

Jemari lean Jiso directly hit the number 1 on his phone to call someone. While waiting for his phone to be picked up he looked at himself into the mirror before him.

                “you've changed so far but why he still can't see me as a woman.” Jiso muttered as he continued to look at himself in the mirror.

Before long wait finally Jiso phone connected. “iya what is it?” keenan asked directly the purpose of Jiso's phone.

                “you'll stop by my apartment first right?” ask Jiso.

                “no, we meet in the airport later in the afternoon.” reject Keenan with a cold tone.

                “why?” ask Jiso again a little disappointed.

                “certainly because my Apartment is closer to the airport.” replied Keenan.

                “then I will men.”

Tut.tut.tut the call was terminated unilaterally by Keenan before Jiso finished his sentence.

Jiso let out a long sigh before putting his phone back on his desk, then turning to his hair dryer again, he was about to continue his initial activities that would dry his long hair.

                “it seems not enough just with extreme beauty treatments and diets, I should have just operated on my face from the beginning.” Jiso spoke to himself while looking at his face in the mirror.
