Sky Earth
CHAPTER 19
"Ma, we're going home. Or you want to live where you are other than at home and here. I can't bear to see Mama has to stay here for long" Gita tried to persuade her.
Mama shook her head, "I think, Mama will be safer here, you will also be more free to look for evidence, who would throw your brother when he was a baby," he said.
Currently two women of different generations are sitting in the room Mama. While Hafidz decided to go to the mosque with Indra to perform Friday prayers.
"Although Mama suspects someone, but without proof, what can we do? Please Gita find out yes, ask Bik Atun, he must know many things that Mama and you do not know" he added.
Bik Atun Gita's nanny since she was a baby, even Art was decades of service in the Atmawijaya family to date. And Mama believes that Bik Atun is not a bad guy.
"But I can't bear to miss Mama, besides being lonely here is also serem, Ma." Gita looked around, shivering as she stared out the window of her room, imagining that the night would be even more sinister.
"You don't have to worry, Mama has been in this place for ten years and all that time, Mama never felt afraid, what Mama felt was a longing for Mama's children." Mama rubbed the two cheeks of Gita sitting in front of her.
Gita hugged the Mama, ten years Mama waiting for her arrival and also Hafidz. It was amazing the struggle of Mama all this time, living in a pretense that he thought was very difficult to live. Choosing to become a mad person, it is very adrenaline. What if it gets caught? Surely Papa will be angry with Mama, or worse Aunt Sita will get rid of Mama without feeling.
"Well Ma, I promise I'll always look at Mama," Gita finally broke up, it's better she obey Mama. Mama's words have a point, if there are people who see Mama outside the hospital and report to Papa or worse to Aunt Sita, then it will actually endanger Mama.

"Thanks Ndra, thanks to Lo everything got better. I do not think Lo will bring Gita this soon," said Hafidz after they both finished praying Friday together at a mosque not far from the hospital.
Indra sighed, she had to tell the story this morning at the cafe on Hafidz. Yes, Hafidz should have known that, let alone Gita being his brother.
"Why Ndra? Lo nyesel did not come to the top because nganterin Gita came here?" asked Hafidz probing after hearing Indra sigh, he thought Indra was sorry.
"It wasn't Fidz, the reason I brought Gita here. Actually there is no plan at all I bring him here, just want to divert his attention from the pain of his heart," said Indra ambiguously, making Hafidz frown, confused.
"I mean, Gita is heartbroken because she just broke up from Taka," he added when he saw Hafidz's confused face.
Hafidz was surprised to hear Indra's words, not expecting his twin brother to be heartbroken. But why did they break up? Though what he knew from Indra some time ago if they looked okay.
Indra also told the incident to Hafidz without exception. While listening to Indra's story, Hafidz held back his anger, clenching his hands as if he wanted to hit the face of Taka who would betray his sister.
"Lo can be angry, but my agent never does anything with Taka. Leave everything the same to me," Indra warned, not wanting Hafidz to get in trouble if faced with Taka.
"Thanks Ndra is my best friend. I don't know what I'm going to be like now if there's no Lo. I owe Lo Ndra a favor," said Hafidz.
"Let me also not be able to do anything with Taka, what can I do to him?" he added making Indra nod and then pat her on the shoulder.
"Yuk unplug, they must have been waiting for us." Indra walked first and then followed by Hafidz.
They both decide to buy food first before returning to the hospital, not forgetting to buy food for Gita and Mama who are waiting for them in the hospital.
In the afternoon they decided to go home, with Indra driving her. They first drove Hafidz because the distance was closer.
"This is your hostel, Bang?" ask Gita when they have arrived in front of the Hafidz boarding house.
Hafidz smiled then nodded, he could already guess Gita's reaction upon seeing her boarding room.
"The shop will have to move out tomorrow, I'll find you, brother," broke up Gita, unable to see her twin sister living in such a cramped boarding house, he lives in a luxurious house with spacious rooms.
"No...." Hafidz did not continue because the Gita interjected first.
"I don't give a choice to Brother" said Gita, firmly.
"Thank you Fidz, it's good that Lo lives in a more comfortable place than this" Indra supported Gita's decision.
"All right," Hafidz resigned.
"I'm back Bang, we'll see you tomorrow. I'll pick up Brother before going to Mama's place" said Gita.
"Don't! Let me go there alone, fearing that someone will suspect" Hafidz refused.
Gita sighed no longer chiming in on the elder sister's words, choosing to hug the young man.
Hafidz returned Gita's embrace while rubbing her back, "If you want a story, I'm ready to listen. But now go home first, tonight or tomorrow, whatever you are, I'm ready to listen. If night comes to the cafe Amora, I'm there" Hafidz said before letting go of his arms.
Gita smiled, then nodded. "I'm back Bang" he said.
"Be careful, Dek," there's a sense of hilarity and happiness when saying the word, especially when Gita doesn't protest with her new calling.
"Titip adek Gue Ndra, be careful not to be anything less cool, if until it happens Lo face me," threatened Hafidz who is certainly joking.
"Look out, I'll take it all down. So Lo get ready tomorrow to face me," said Indra who immediately went away, did not want Hafidz wrath and it successfully made Gita laugh.
No matter what, Hafidz smiled to usher in the departure of the man. Waving their hands when their car was already running and disappearing behind the turn.
Hafidz is grateful for everything that happened today. Meeting Gita and the girl did not reject her presence at all, instead accepting herself with open arms, even acting as if they had been familiar for a long time. Plus the good news about Mama, which he never thought before, if it turns out Mama had been just pretending. Worth it, Mama can write or rather the outpouring of heart written in a book that is now in its place.
Sigh in, then get into the cost. Means Mama has suffered a lot, and she will not add to Mama's suffering again. The most important thing now is how he can get Mama out of that hospital.
Seriate....
