Previous episode ...
"When are you married, Dre?" ask Risa. There was something strange between Andrea and Ita. Maybe between the two there are those who like, or maybe the two like each other.
Andrea wavered, "okay, is that like it?"
"No, I feel like you have something like that" said Risa.
"I can't open my heart yet" replied Andrea. Apparently the love for Risa was still in her heart.
"You need to open that heart again, Dre. I don't want you to be like Renaldi,"
"Hahaha," Andrea chuckled, "i'm not that stupid, even though there's no chance for you anymore. I'll accept all that," he said.
They came out, Ita looked back and saw the two of them who had just come out from inside.
"For so long, you guys," he said a little sniffy.

Happy reading ..
Risa felt something strange about her best friend. Since they yesterday took things in Renaldi's apartment, Ita became more quiet when with Risa. Risa had a chance to think whether Ita heard her conversation with Andrea in the apartment? About Andrea who has not opened her heart to other women. But Risa and Andrea have nothing to do. Why should ita be jealous?
This morning Risa and Mama Ita were cooking for their breakfast. They cook Ita's favorite food.
"Tante, it's been a long time ago Ita did not seem to blog again," asked Risa pleasantries when she and Mama Ita were arranging the dining table.
"Yes, now Ita is much more reserved than she used to be."
"That's a real shame on his YouTube channel. Subscribers are, a lot of them. I've also felt that since I got that accident, Ita's grown up, huh, Tan."
"We agree."
"It turns out that behind the disaster is stored wisdom, Tan."
"Ahahaha, you are. Hahaha," at once the dining table was crowded with laughter of Risa and Mama Ita who felt crisp.
A few seconds quiet.
"Oh yes, Tan. I actually used to be a loyal audience Ita you know on YouTube hihi, but don't tell Ita, later he kepedean," said Risa made Mama Ita chuckle.
"Oh yeah? Hahaha," exclaimed Mama Ita while arranging the dishes. Despite using a wheelchair, he seemed accustomed to putting all this together.
"Where is it, huh? Kok, long time," grumbled Risa.
"Make up again, she was if the make up does not like to be disturbed, so be sure. Let's eat first, Aunt is laper, right!"
Risa pulled the chair, "Ouke," he said cheerfully then picked up the plate for Mama Ita. "Risa Bantuin, yes Tan," he said and then took rice for Mama Ita.
"That's all, not much."
Just as Risa took a plate for herself to eat, Ita got down from the top floor towards the refrigerator, she took the milk and poured it into a glass.
"Let's eat, I'm the same Aunt cook your favorite food," asked Risa. But ignored by Ita who was drinking milk.
After Ita drank the milk, she walked up to her mother and kissed the wrinkled forehead.
"It departed, Assalamu'alaikum," he said, then left without saying goodbye to Risa first.
Risa took her breath, "It's mad at me, huh, Tan?" tanyakanya.
"Ah, no. That's him again in a hurry, that's why he rushed to the office. His ears sometimes do not cry people to eat," said Mama Ita. But it does not make Risa calm, because she knows, there is something different about her best friend.
"Hehe, that is," Risa chuckled then fell silent for a moment.
"Let's eat again, it's really good, Risa. Here, Auntie get it,"
Risa nodded then received the jujut chicken stew on her plate.

Ita arrived at the office, and passed by Andrea. The man who looked like Sehun greeted him. But Ita did not answer his greeting, instead pretending to look down while reading something on his phone.
Ita just kept her head down until she hit the pole. "Awww," Ita screamed.
Andrea immediately walked over to Ita. "You're not careful the way, fortunately not why," he said worried.
Ita remained silent, then immediately left in the presence of Andrea. Andrea increasingly felt there was something strange about Ita.
Andrea ran a little closer to Ita "You why, Ta? Any issues?" tanyanya when it was beside Ita who was still walking with grusak-grusuk.
"Yes!!!" andrea's voice rose, fortunately there were not many people in the hallway, they also looked busy here and there, so no one noticed Ita and Andrea.
Andrea walked faster to get ahead of Ita then stood with her arms stretched out, blocking Ita's path.
"Why you?" ask Andrea, then approach Ita. But keep your distance, because Ita is not the mahram.
"Just ask yourself, not me, if you still hope the same as before!" he said with implied words. Makes Andrea not understand right away. Her disease has reappeared. Oh, well, the director thought too late, O God.
Ita turned her body and then ran.
"That's why?" ask Andrea inwardly.

While on the other hand, Risa is now going to the hospital without permission to Ita. Though previously Ita always reminded Risa rather nowhere. Renaldi is afraid to do evil again. But Risa could not be far from Ahmad. She also felt sorry for her husband, if he did not visit Ahmad, who accompanied him in the hospital?
Risa took a breath before opening the door of Ahmad's room.
"Assalamu'alaikum Aba," he said after entering. Risa turned her head towards Mpok's belongings. Apparently Mpok is loyal to guard Ahmad. But Mpok isn't there right now, maybe out for a while.
Risa grabbed Ahmad's hand and kissed the back of his right hand. Risa sat on a chair beside Ahmad and stroked her husband's tender cheeks.
"It was a long time in her sleep," Risa began to speak for herself.
"Ama misses the same as Aba tau."
"Oh yeah, Ba. If Aba wakes up later, it would be a shock to see me who has remembered the same of our past."
"Wake up, yeah. Our son must miss Aba."
Risa lowered her head then stroked her stomach.
"Aba, Aba used to tell the story of Asir and Damha. I want to hear that story again, Ba."
"Wake up dong,"
"Baa, Ama misses Aba,"
"Will you wake up?"
"Baa, please wake up. I don't know if I will be strong or not going forward. I need you beside me."
Risa took a breath, her tears fell.
"Ba, I was threatened with Renaldi. I'm afraid Ba, he said I should marry him. But I don't want to! I want to live happily with you, Ba."
"Ba wake up, I need you, if you wake up Renaldi will definitely not bother me anymore."
"Baa, I'm scared."
Risa then kissed her husband's cheek gently. Then he sat down and stroked Ahmad's arm.
Clamps. The door of the room opens. Risa was shocked, her phobia of Renaldi again made her shock.
"Neng Risa," said Mpok.
Risa let out a sigh of relief. Mpok. Huhft.
"Assalamu'alaikum, Mpok," said Risa then approached Mpok and kissed the back of his hand.
"Neng Risa is very beautiful, already wear hijab again, mendeng deh Mpoknya," said Mpok. His face looked very happy to see Risa who returned like before.
"Thank You Mpok. Uh, who is this Mpok?" risa asked when she saw a man who came with Mpok.
"Neng Risa's time forgot?" Mpok asked back. "This is our gardener, Neng. Mpok's husband, anyway."
"Hehe, really, Risa doesn't know, Mpok. Risa's amnesia again."
"Haha, I forgot. Yes, obviously Neng Risa did not know, because when Neng Risa moved to A Ahmad's house, Mpok's husband returned home. Yes, Sir?"
"Yes" replied Mpok's husband. His name is Mang Pardi. "My name is Pardi, Neng," he said.
Risa nodded. "Pok every day here with Mang Pardi?" ask Risa.
"Yes Neng, because Mpok is afraid that alone in this big hospital, he likes to get goosebumps not clear."
Risa smile. "Thank you Mpok, Mang. Look after Ahmad, may Allah repay your kindness."
"Aamiin's."
Risa then looked back at Ahmad. "When can Ahmad wake up?" lirih Risa that can not be answered by Mpok.
