ANDROMOUS
FIVE

"Lu don't bosen here mulu?" Mahesa put down her bag while staring at Galen's wonder that every day always comes to Yaffa's nursery. In fact, not infrequently the child chose to stay overnight after learning that Yaffa was in a coma.

Mahesa who is a cousin of Yaffa alone is not as smart as Galen until several times staying here. Usually Mahesa's parents will check the condition of Yaffa before nightfall so Mahesa feels rivaled by Galen. Tonight he plans to accompany Yaffa until the next day because Mahesa does not have a class schedule. But it turns out that Galen was already in the Yaffa room, sitting next to the patient bed and staring warmly at Mahesa's cousin's sister.

Galen glanced and shook his head. He then leaned his back against the back of the chair, "Gua will wait until Yaffa wakes up, bang." said Galen in a voice that sounded tired.

Mahesa clucked lazily. It's always Galen's answer like this. Even Galen did not have to bother to go home first, after the Galen campus directly to this hospital. Mahesa already knew from the talk of Mother Galen.

Not infrequently Galen passed his meal to continue to look after Yaffa. This makes Mahesa lazy and upset at him and in anticipation of events like this, Mahesa always buys 2 servings of food that at least Galen can eat to fill his stomach. Since Mahesa was also often busy with her affairs, Andromous had her eager to take care of Galen and Yaffa at the same time.

"Gue bawain nasi goreng, had not found any other food so yes already." Mahesa took out a plastic package containing 2 styrofoam typical of fried rice makers and gave one of them to Galen, "Eat, you if you do not eat continue to hurt as a lie." press Mahesa when Galen wants to refuse his gift.

Galen will not obey Mahesa. The two of them ate quietly near Yaffa who was still at home closing his eyes and the number of medical devices attached neatly to the girl's body. Yaffa's condition has not improved. Because almost every day there are less good symptoms that Yaffa's body shows.

"Dude." Galen called Mahesa right on his 6th bribe. He kept the spoon over the lid of the styrofoam and then looked at Mahesa. It is undeniable by Mahesa that Galen is really messed up. He was devastated by Yaffa, who never opened his eyes.

Galen's eyes that usually cast a stern or silly gaze were no longer visible. There were only faint, tired and empty eyes in the boy's eyes every time Mahesa looked at him.

Mahesa kept quiet and waited for Galen to continue what seemed like the beginning of a serious conversation between them.

"If Yaffa has not improved, permit the cave to find his parents he bang?"

Galen's request surprised Mahesa. His eyes even glared after hearing this.

Galen has asked permission to find Yaffa's parents, who until now Mahesa only knew that om and his aunt were continuing their employment contract. Others grey. Mahesa did not know any info except just now. She hesitates to allow it because of how Mahesa has memorized the family nature of her younger sister Mima.

This time, however, Mahesa nodded firmly. Agree with Galen's request and find Yaffa's parents. Enough with Mahesa's doubts some time ago, this time he just wants to make the cousin improve.

"Please, please find them Gal."

"Mom again served out of town, I was alone from yesterday" his voice came from the kitchen. Somehow Abian was not aware of the existence of Terra earlier, even though the distance of the kitchen and dining room of the family home Terra fairly close. She immediately walked into the kitchen to see her lover and sat down at the kitchen counter when she found out Terra was cooking.

Abian opened one of the recipe books on the counter and started reading. Then he realized something that this is not a printed book but handwriting from Mama Terra which is fairly neat. It seems like this is a hereditary recipe or maybe a recipe that is usually made for the family so that the woman who works as a business woman writes all her recipes in a special recipe book.

"Bi, tomorrow I will." Abian stared at Terra's back as the singer spoke without facing her, "My father made me join her son's birthday." Terra continued with a flat tone.

"Lu if you don't want to come mending don't deh. Didn't your own heart know?" Abian rarely refused Terra's request, almost never. But this is an exception because Abian already knows the ins and outs of Terra who previously was a childhood friend of her.

Papa Terra's been having affairs since Terra was 4 years old. He had a son right at the age of 10 months of his marriage to the affair. Surely Mama Terra did not know anything, until at the age of Terra who entered 17 years all the secrets of the Papa were revealed.

Terra is certainly disappointed, especially Papa is the one who is always with him to entertain Terra. After the divorce Terra's parents made the choice for their child to stay with the Mama or join the Papa and the other family.

Terra clearly prefers the Mama. She did not want to leave her mother alone because she had no one but herself. While the Papa still has his second wife and son. Terra never bothered to know the affairs or problems of the new family of the Papa. Although the man who was almost a quarter century old often invited Terra or invite Terra to visit his family.

Abian knew that Terra still felt the pain until now. Abian knows that behind Terra's happiness in achieving her dreams, the woman who has filled her days never stops thinking about the past. Abian often finds Terra crying alone when Mama Terra goes on a business trip and Abian does not want Terra to hurt herself again by visiting the invitation of the man who is the birth Papa Terra.

"But baby, no, Bi?" stale. Terra will certainly persuade him to comply with Terra's request even though it ends with Terra crying after visiting Papa's new family.

So Abian chose to remain silent and no longer answered. He went back to reading the handwritten recipe that had caught his attention.

"Bi—"

"More dear you. It is still heartache maxain. The ends are also you'll cry yourself right? My males." ketus Abian without concern for Terra's whining.

"Abian, it's been over for 4 years. I promise I won't cry. Once this time, I want to see Papa for the last time, I want to show him if I have success now. Yes, Bi?"

Abian looked at Terra annoyed, but she still agreed with the lover's wishes. In his heart Abian continued to say if Terra to tears he would no longer give permission to the woman to meet the other family Terra.

He does not want his loved ones to be in pain anymore. Abian will always protect Terra, Andromous and his own family.
