The Light of Love Tania
I'm tucking him....

Tania walked down the aisle of the hospital following Akbar's footsteps in front of her. His body trembled, would he be able to see Yudha lying in pain?

Orchid Room, second grade. Right on the third floor in a big hospital in the city of Bandung.

Right in front of the bedroom door, Tania tried to regulate her hunting breath, trying to compile words that would make Yudha so that her spirit to heal. But, he doubted whether he could convey all the words he had designed. For in the house of Yudha there must be no hope for Tania's coming.

Akbar held onto Tania's shoulder as if to convince Tania that everything would be fine. There was a tinge of worry in his eyes before Akbar finally opened the door and said his greetings.

Look at every bed in the room. There were 2 beds there, because Akbar only briefly saw Yudha at that time, he allowed Tania to go forward and see where Yudha was in bed.

Once convinced, Tania stopped near one of the beds, seen a drip tube stuck in one of Yudha's hands and blood infusion in the other hand and oxygen hose in her nose. How sad is the situation of Yudha. Yudha who usually looks strong now must lie weak against his illness.

"Assalamualaikum" he said slowly. Mamah Yudha who was sitting beside the bed while bowing her head beside Yudha turned her head to the sound.

His eyes looked tired from lack of sleep. With a pushy look he tilted a smile at Tania and answered her greeting in a stern tone.

"Well, how's A Yudha doing now?" Mamah Yudha turned to her sleeping son after being given the medicine by the Guard Doctor.

"As you can see" without turning to Tania every sentence that Mamah Yudha spoke was still heard. Seems lazy to talk to Tania.

"Since when?" Tania asked with a trembling tone holding back tears. " When did A Yudha get sick?" Her voice choked. Mamah Yudha looked at Akbar this time and then smiled with a slanted sign of dislike.

"Do you know where Yudha is sick?" Without answering Tania's question, Mamah Yudha asked.

"A Nicko-He who told me"

"Hmm can not be trusted the child, it has been said do not tell you even ngeyel."

"Why mah?"

Tania had not received an answer from Mamah Yudha, seen Yudha woke up from Yudha.

"Euh...Mah, want to drink" said Yudha lirih.

Mama Yudha swiftly grabbed the mineral water on the nightstand and gave it to Yudha. Slowly Mamah helped Yudha to drink with the help of straws. Tania could only look at him with concern.

"A....." Call Tania lirih when Yudha has finished her drink.

Yudha turned her gaze towards Tania and tried to smile despite her weak state.

"Tan...kid you know how to be here?" His speech was weak with a breath of gasp.

"I'm worried about A Yudha" Tania couldn't help but cry as she gently rubbed Yudha's arm.

Yudha smiled. "I'm doing fine".

"A Yudha seneng boong huh. I know A Yudha is not well" Tania said in a sobbing voice as she cried.

"Do you know where I'm from?"

"Tau from A Nicko. Why doesn't A Yudha tell me that..." Tania's speech stopped because mamah Yudha cut off the conversation.

"Tan, can you come with me for a second?" Mamah Yudha asked as she went out.

Tania followed Mamah Yudha out of the room. Akbar and Yudha are in the room.

Akbar approached Yudha, then sat down beside the bed.

"Forgotably remember. You guys close for a long time?" Ask Yudha quietly.

"Mirror, A."

Both smiling.

"I'm taking Tania. My time is not long. I'm not sure Tania's nitipin is the same as Nicko or Iqbal."

"Why does Aa believe in me?"

"Yes because I believe you can take care of Tania. I order, if you're serious, Tania keep him kind or everything. Don't hurt her, let alone make her cry."

"I can't promise, A. The name of man can be broken. But I will try my best to run Aa's trust".

Yudha tried to grab Akbar's arm. Hands waving. Realizing that Akbar grabbed Yudha's arm then grasped it and rubbed it gently.

"Then I have no more burdens."

"I know Aa loves Tania very much. Why didn't Aa protect Tania herself?"

"Because there are things that make me unable to have it. My job will be over soon but my affection will never end for Tania".

"I'm ashamed, A. Because Aa's affection is so sincere and great for Tania."

On the other side of the hospital park.

Tania sat in the garden with Mamah Yudha next to her. His eyes straight ahead.

"Tan, I'm sorry Mom."

"Sorry for what, huh?"

"Create the words of your mother that might hurt you".

"Which words do you mean?"

"It was actually the mama who told Yudha to stay away from you, keeping Yudha's pain a secret from anyone even though Nicko finally managed to figure out what really happened." This time Mamah Yudha spoke blatantly with a trembling voice holding back the cries.

"Yudha also did not know what pain she was. Our family agreed to keep it a secret". Mama Yudha. Yudha knew what she was sick when the doctor spoke to her father outside the room.

"The fear of us losing Yudha was so great that we made you a scapegoat. Mamah knows Yudha loves you more than a sister but you never realize it. From there Mamah was angry, Mamah was not willing to see the sick child Mamah so knew that it would not be reciprocated. Moreover, there was an incident of him getting battered to protect you. Mamah's anger is growing with you. Mamah decided to force Yudha so that she would stay away from you for the common good". The tears of Mamah Yudha are unstoppable. His shoulders shook as sobs came out.

"Do you think by distancing A Yudha the same I will make A Yudha better?". Mamah Yudha shook her head slowly. Shrinking her tears and nose.

"You don't know how big Yudha feels about you".

"And I regret why A Yudha never said that she had more taste for me". Tania looked down, her tears could not be contained anymore. Shoulders vibrate.

"That's your stupid. As a woman, your heart should be more sensitive".

"Yes Mamah. Love comes and goes without being forced. Love is present and grows by itself. And until this moment my race for A Yudha is still gray. Because at first we promised and promised to be a brother and sister no more than that".
