Love Stay Here
Leftover Food
Satya should be able to understand Miranda and she should also continue to maintain the trust that she gave. But his heart seemed to say something else, he was pierced by the figure of a jutek girl, Kirana.
She was given a second chance by Miranda, but she still can't forget the sweet black girl who currently never thinks of herself in the least.
It's already the third week of him asking Miranda to mend their relationship. But today her hands are itching to squeeze Kirana's mobile number she got from Sekar a few weeks ago. This was the first time he would make a phone call to the nurse.
On the first call, the second and third are not also raised by the destination number. Until maybe because of boredom, Kirana also finally picked up a phone call from Satya who does not have a name on Kirana's phone.
"Hallo, who's this with?" Instantly Satya's heart raced quickly as soon as he heard Kirana's voice that seemed firm.
"Ha-hallo, this is Satya's sister Bang Bima," Satya replied nervously.
"Hemh, why call me? is Mbak Sekar again not good news? but it should be Mas Bima who calls, how are you?" cecar Kirana immediately with his jutek tone knew that the one who called him was Satya. I don't know why the girl couldn't be so friendly to Satya.
"Mbak Sekar is healthy, really," Satya replied while scratching her non-itchy nape with a flushed face.
"Keep what did you call me for?" ask Kirana annoyed.
"No, just want to know your news," said Satya who was still walking around like an iron.
"Huh, just bother! I'm deadit doesn't matter!" exclaiming Kirana was upset because she felt bullied by Satya.
"Wait!" satya exclaimed half a scream until it made Kirana keep her phone away from her ear because it was deaf by the heavy voice of the man.
"What else, anyway?!" the thrill gets more upset.
"Aren't you working?" it was a question that came out of his mouth.
Kirana took a breath and breathed out a rough sign if she was not joking. "Satya, you think I'm unemployed like you? I'm busy and don't bother me, there are a lot of patients I have to check on" Kirana said before she disconnected from Satya.
"Right turn, girl," he murmured softly with a smile. "Emh, but what makes you miss, huh?" mumbling again.
All day Satya kept remembering Kirana's face while smiling to herself. He again repeated the same mistake, betraying Miranda's trust. If Satya is busy remembering Kirana, not for the girl. He kept busy checking the condition of inpatients on the 4th floor of the hospital where he worked. He had no memory of the man who had called him.

It's five o'clock in the afternoon, time to change shifts and that means it's time to go home. With a tired face and shaky steps, Kirana walked back to her boarding house.
"Kiran, are you home, son?" greet Mr. Mardan, a satay seller on the side of the road.
"Yes, Sir. Excuse me in the afternoon" he replied with a smile.
"Sister Kiran!" the voice of the child called to him.
He turned to the source of the voice and found a little girl running to where he was standing.
"What's up, Husna?" kirana asked as the little girl named Husna reached where she stood.
"Son, the day after Husna had dues for charity events at school, Husna's friend went to the hospital because his kidney was leaking and it took a lot of money for his operating costs," the little girl complained.
"Are you coming with your sister now or are you coming to the hospital tomorrow morning?" ask Kirana.
"Any now, brother? tomorrow he feared that he would not be able to," Husna refused to hope for Kirana's kindness.
They also stepped together to the boarding house Kirana had lived in all this time. Husna was the son of a scavenger and his father had died a year ago. The second meeting occurred when Kirana found the little girl was walking while crying for help because her mother fainted on the side of the road due to hunger. Kirana also helped care for her mother Husna to recover and fed them for a few days. Since then Kirana made Husna her foster child and all the needs of the school beyond the orphan scholarship received by the 6th grade Elementary girl.
Husna was not a stupid child. The child knows how to thank the kindness of others. He studied hard to make them proud of him.
After a 10-minute walk, they arrived at Kirana boarding house. Kirana immediately opened the door and went inside followed by Husna behind her.
"Your mom's healthy, right?" kirana asked when she had placed her bag on the floor of her narrow room.
"Healthy, Brother. Mother was sending greetings to Brother and advised that Sister take care of health," said Husna.
"Thank God your mother is healthy. Pray for your brother to be healthy and his recovery will be smooth so he can help you continue" replied Kirana while stroking Husna's red hair.
"Yes, sister" said the little girl.

Meanwhile, in the house owned by Bima, it looks quite quiet. Yes, of course because there is only Bima and Sekar, his wife. After being married for a few months, Sekar has not shown any early signs of pregnancy. He still came last week.
"Mas, I didn't eat it" Sekar complained spoiled to her husband.
"Here," said Bima then grabbed the plate owned by Sekar.
After taking Sekar's plate, without feeling awkward or disgusted, Bima devoured the leftover food until it ran out. Sekar who saw it gawked in disbelief at what he saw.
"Mas, that's my side food, why are you eating?" ask Sekar.
"Honey if not eaten, redundant," said Bima while cleaning the rest of the food in his mouth with rest.
"You're not disgusted, are you?" ask Me again.
"What is disgust? the food is clean and healthy" he said again.
"Yes, it is leftover food," Sekar replied still insistent.
"Honey, even if it's leftovers, but it's still very worth consuming, don't throw it away. You only if thrown away crying, food too," said Bima made Sekar upset.
"I'm not food, Mom!" ketus Sekar half yelled.
"Hahaha, you're funny if you're angry, his eyes will come out," led Bima laughed at Sekar.
"But!!!!"
"Yes, honey. Do not be angry, you have my food, even staple food," said Bima instead of making Sekar calm even more red.
"You're bummer!" Now go from there without cleaning up their food. He just let it get so upset. Bika just shook her head while laughing softly.
"Hemh, dishwashing exercise ...," muttered Bima.
With his stiff hands he did a new job this time he worked all his life. Although a little difficulty, Bima did not give up even if it was only in her mind. He wants to be a husband who is always faithful to help his wife's homework.
