“Morning Om, aunt.”
Mentari immediately greeted the two Angga parents, he smiled warmly at those who were reciprocated no less warm anyway. This has been their umpteenth meeting since they last met three years ago. Warm welcome was still parents Angga gave to Mentari, although they knew if Mentari had been away and made their son frustrated. But, for Angga's parents, Mentari is not wrong, Mentari has the right to do that. After all, the main problem was in Angga all this time. And, when you hear that Angga and Mentari are back, that happiness is undeniable.
“But you came here, but you are also busy, right? Sorry, yes, ngerepotin.” Rianti grimaced softly, not feeling good actually.
Mentari shook her head, “No, tan. Not troublesome at all. Mentari is happy to be able to help Angga with Bella therapy today.”
“Still, yes, Tari still want to accept Angga even though the state of Angga is now not normal.” said Yogesti, he smiled.
The mentor smiled knotingly, he nodded. “Tari just sure if Angga same Bella, they can walk normally again. But, yes, it might take a while.”
“Iya. Yaudah, you have breakfast, yes. It was breakfast, a lot. Come!”
“Iya, tan. Thanks, yes..”
Mentari embraced Rianti towards the dining table, there was already Angga waiting for them and immediately smiled widely when he saw the existence of Mentari in his residence.
“Tar,”
Mentari smiled, she waved thinly and immediately approached Angga. “Morning. How, are you ready for therapy later?” tanya Mentari, she was standing next to Angga who was sitting in a wheelchair.
Angga nodded, “Siap dong. Let alone cemented you.” replied Angga, he frowned. “But, are you not my papa nemenin? You have work too kali.”
“Ih, you. Just calm down. I have Arin, he's my trust. So, as long as I'm here, I'm handing it all the same to Arin. But, relax, I'll keep an eye on it from here. So, you don't have to worry, yes.”
Angga nodded, he rubbed the back of Mentari's hand which was above the handle of his chair. “Still, yes.” said Angga who was replied with a smile as well as a blink of an eye.
Deheman's voice from Yogesti blew them away. Angga clucked slowly, pretending to be annoyed while Mentari smiled shyly. Mentari immediately sat beside Angga.
“Yaudah, let's eat!”
Rianti prepared food for her husband, while Mentari for Angga.
“Slightly enough, the vegetable tar.” said Angga saw Mentari who spooned quite a lot of vegetables to the plate Angga.
“No, I did a lot.” Mentari store food plates in front of Angga. His forehead immediately puckered when he realized that Bella was not here. “Bella, where?” ask Mentari.
Instantly the look on Rianti's face changed instantly, sadness appeared there. “Bella doesn't want breakfast yet, she'll follow later.”
“By, not if Bella's tail dance to the room?” mentari asked, he hoped to be allowed. He also turned to Angga who was of course taken in by the man.
“Still, yes, Dance.”
Mentari nodded, he immediately moved and rushed to Bella's room where she had memorized it. His hand was stretched out to knock on the door, but there was no answer. Instead of trying to be disrespectful and arbitrary, Mentari just didn't want anything to happen to Bella. He pushed open the door and found no whereabouts in his room. However, the balcony door of the room was open.
There, there was Bella who was silently pensively staring blankly ahead.
Mentari let out a rough sigh, she understood how Bella was feeling at the moment. He stepped closer to Bella, touched the woman's shoulder and rested beside Bella who was certainly surprised by her arrival.
Bella who was initially surprised, nodded and smiled. “Kak Tari not heard coming into the room. When is it coming in, sis?”
“From earlier anyway, from.. since you sat daydreaming here.”
“Who daydreams? There is no such thing as.” Bella thaws, she shakes her head slowly. “I am enjoying the really cool morning air now. Kan rarely so loh kak early in the morning the air is still fresh gini.”
Mentari muttered, he nodded. “Oh... That, yes.”
“Iya ih, sis. Btw, brother when is it coming? How can you not tell me anyway? Know that I was already below, welcome brother pake ala-ala that, later I lar—i.” Bella looks at her feet, smiling, trying to convince Mentari that she is okay. “Yes, later anyway I welcome big brother like usually used to be that.”
Smiling with a smile at Bella's chattering, she spread her arms. “Sini, sister hug.”
Bella shook her head, “No, ah.”
Mentari frowned, “Loh, why?”
“Let's crybaby if you've been hugged sister,”
“Gakpapa, let a little quiet. Udah, here hug first.”
Bella finally received Mentari's embrace, she tightened her embrace and could not be denied if her heart was immediately filled when Mentari's hand rubbed gently on her back.
“Bella is sad brother,” Bella sighed heavily, her voice was already vibrating. “Bella is also afraid, very afraid if it can not be normal again like before. Bella's afraid she'll be paralyzed forever, brother. Bella can no longer run—don't run, just stand up straight, Bella is not sure can do it.”
While gnashing her eyes, she tightened her arms as Bella cried, letting the woman spill her grief.
Mentari let go of her embrace slowly, she showed her warm smile as she wiped the tears on Bella's cheek. “Bell, you yourself who came that day met brother, story everything and believe brother that Angga will be fine and back to normal. Your situation is the same with your brother, not much different, the same. You are sure that your sister can be normal again, why to yourself instead?”
“Because I'm the same brother Angga different, brother.”
“What's different? Same.”
“Kak Angga has Kak Tari who can accept him as he is, there is Kak Tari which is a reason for kak Angga to rise, can be normal again. While me? Who can accept a paralyzed woman like me? Nothing!”
“There, Bell! There are. There's Papa and your mother who should be your reason for staying. Okay, if not for them, just for yourself. There is still a future waiting for you.”
Bella smiled wryly, “The future I even ruined!”
“No. Nothing's broken here. You, must remain confident, if you can certainly pass all this. You have to be sure of it all, Bell.”
“But, kak—”
“Bell, c'mon!”
Bella did not answer again, she actually cried back and Mentari immediately took the woman into his arms.
