"Abi, how is Rara's condition?" asked Umi.
"He is fine, tomorrow we will visit him at the hospital," said Abi.
"Okay, after all Rara will still be our child," said Umi.
"Yes Mi," replied Abby.
"Explain, what happened exactly?" asked Ari.
"I'm sorry umi and abi, actually Rara is not your biological sister. Your sister died a long time ago," said Abi with a sad face.
"But why did Abi lie all this time?" asked Ari. Ari held back his anger.
“Abi couldn't bear to see Umi, at that time Umi's condition was very critical. The doctor said, Umi should not hear the news or anything that makes Umi's condition weak. If that happens, Umi's condition will drop," said Abi which made the atmosphere calm. Because when he looked at Ari's face, he already knew that he was holding back his emotions.
"Where was I at the time of the accident?" asked Ari. Ari did not really know where he was when the accident took place.
"When the accident happened, Umi and Abi wanted to pick you up at grandma's house," said Abi.
"I'm sorry Bi," said Ari apologetically. Just try at that time Abi and his mother did not pick him up, maybe the accident would never have happened.
"Come on, there's nothing to apologize for. Everyone knows the truth, now that we think about it, how is Rara's condition?" asked Abby.
"Rara is still critical, Bi, just now Rara lacked blood," said Ari.
"Then, who donated blood?" asked Abby.
"Mr. Kusuma, he's the one who donated the blood," said Ari.
"Tomorrow, we will visit Rara," said Umi.
"Yes Umi, Ari to the room first, okay?" Ari said.
"Yes son," replied Umi.
Ari walked to the room, when he arrived at Ari's bathroom, he took a shower. His body was very dirty because he finished the game earlier.
After showering Ari sat on the bed. "Is it true that he's not my brother? Then why do I feel if it's not true. If it's true that Rara is not my sister, after all she can't leave this house," said Ari, who didn't want to let Rara leave the house.
It was late at night, everyone had drifted off to Dreamland.
Morning greets, the sun has shone as He wills. Ari was up before dawn. After performing the morning prayer. Ari walked to the kitchen, "from today onwards I have to change," thought Ari determined.
"Ari, are you awake?" asked Umi.
"Yes Mi, is there anything Ari can help?" asked Ari.
"Are you healthy son?" asked Umi.
"Yes Mi, Ari is healthy," said Ari confused. Why did Unya ask like that?
"There's nothing to help son, sit there, soon we will have breakfast and visit Rara," said Umi.
"Okay Mi," replied Ari. Ari sat in the chair that Rara used to sit in.
"Ra, what do you miss brother? This is where you sit and this chair is also the place where we often argue," Ari thought.
“Ari,” Umi called.
"Son," called Umi once again.
"Ari," called Umi. As he waved his hand in front of Ari's face.
"Ha, uh yes Mi why?" asked Ari. Ari was surprised by Unya's waving.
"What are you thinking about?" asked Umi.
"No, Mi, Ari, I'm just thinking about Ari's practical exam. Pass or not." Avoid Ari.
"Umi pray, I hope you pass, kid," said Umi.
"Aminn, thank you Mi for the prayers," answered Ari.
"Yes, you're welcome," replied Umi.
"Umi, where's Abi?" asked Ari.
"Maybe soon I will return from the mosque," replied Umi.
"Oh yes Mi," said Ari.
After a few minutes of waiting, Abi has come home from the mosque.
"Assalamualaikum," said Abi. Go straight to the kitchen.
"Waalaikumuslam wr.wb," replied Umi and Ari simultaneously.
"Wow, are you awake Ri?" asked Abby.
"It's okay, Bi," replied Ari.
"Alright, let's eat. Later we will go to the hospital," said Umi.
"Yes Mi," replied Ari.
The three of them ate in silence, only the clinking of spoons could be heard. Not like usual. Ari misses when he and Rara argue over dinner.
"Hu, no Rara. Everything is quiet," Ari thought.
Ari feels that something is missing in the absence of Rara, usually every morning they have something to argue about.
After breakfast, Ari went to the room to get ready for the hospital, while Umi. Still cleaning the dirty dishes they had eaten earlier.
After everything was done, they all went to the hospital. Arriving at the hospital, Ari and his parents walked to where Rara was being treated.
"Abi, Umi," called Ari.
"Are we there yet?" asked Umi.
"Yes Mi," replied Ari.
"Then, where is Rara?" asked Umi again.
"Rara is inside Mi, if you want to see it, you can only see it from outside the glass," explained Ari.
Umi approached the transparent glass, she could see how in every corner of Rara's body there were medical devices attached.
"Son, wake up!" said Umi. He couldn't hold back his tears when he saw Rara lying weak.
"Umi will obey all your wishes," said Umi.
"Hold on dear, you can definitely get through this critical period," said Umi. It was a sight that Umi really didn't like, seeing her son who was always cheerful. Now lying stiff against death.
"Ari," called Abi.
"Yes ma'am," said Ari.
"Where's Kusuma?" asked Abby.
"He's in Bi's room," said Ari.
"Take Abi there," said Abi.
"All right," said Ari.
"Umi, let's go," said Abi.
"Where are we going, Miss?" Umi asked. Umi still wants to see Rara.
"We're going to Kusuma's room," said Abi.
"What are we going to do there, instead of him being the one who hurt our child," replied Umi. He got emotional hearing Kusuma's name. An ungrateful father.
"We will explain everything, so that there will be no more disputes," said Abi explaining what he meant.
"Hmm okay," replied Umi.
Ari and his parents walked to Kusuma's treatment room, when they got there. It turned out that there was already a wife and a teenager in the room.
"Assalamualaikum," greetings Sofia
"Waalaikumussalam wr.wb" they all answered in unison.
Ari was just waiting by the door. He still didn't like what had happened to them.
"Excuse me," said Sofian.
“Please,” replied Liora. Kusuma's wife.
"How are you?" Sofian asked pleasantly.
"Thank God it's starting to get better," Kusuma answered.
"What about this matter?" Sofia asked.
"What's the problem Daddy?" asked Liora.
"Papa apologize in advance," said Kusuma apologetically.
"Why is Papa apologizing?" Liora asked confused.
"Sofian, you just explain," said Kusuma.
"So this is it, sorry in advance because I have kept all of this a secret," said Sofian.
"What a secret, let's get straight to the point," replied Liora who couldn't stand the secret they were hiding.
"Actually your child is still alive, and now he is in this hospital," said Sofian.
"Which of our children?" Liora asked Confused.
"Your daughter," Lina replied.
"You guys don't joke, my son has died a long time ago," Liora said emotionally.
"Ma calm down," said Kusuma.
Lina couldn't bear to see Kusuma's wife, of course she was very shocked to hear this news.
"Don't worry, we'll explain later. Please calm down," said Lina calming Liora.
"How can I calm down, do you think this is a comedy that can be played with," said Liora who was already getting emotional.
