Dreams and Hope [POV: Andheera]
Episode 31 (A wound that doesn't seem more painful than it looks)

“Anha.. (Lyra stopped Anha's fingers from continuing her intention to call her mother)

I'm fine trust me, if anything happens I will call you directly okay.” Lyra and Anha remained stupefied with her stance, making Andheera turn both of her eyes because she was lazy to face useless debates like this.

“well, then after my part time is done I will return, brother want me to bring food what?

My brother is very good at cooking, I know that hospital food is not good hehehe.” Anha relented for now but in the end she still could not leave Lyra alone at night.

“Anha..” has not had time for Lyra to finish her sentence but Andheera has already snatched with her rude words.

“can you go now, you don't see brother Lyra uncomfortable being you here.” Andheera snaps because she wants to stop the debate between Lyra and Anha.

“bu.. not so I mean.” Lyra was at a loss for words as Andheera instead spoke sarcastically like that.

“iya alright I go now.” say goodbye Anha then get up and walk out.

“can you take care of your words Andheera a little, you are really.” Lyra said as Anha left.

“I just hate to hear useless debates, (said Andheera who then sat at Anha's place earlier) brother Lyra needs something?”

“doesn't I tell you to go home too.” said Lyra slightly raised her tone because she was still upset with Andheera's attitude just now.

“oke.” response Andheera while getting up from her seat.

“wait, (Lyra stopped, even though she was just chatting but Andheera took it seriously) you are not sensitive at all.” Ketus Lyra was upset because of Andheera's cold attitude.

“what the heck complicated, say yes if yes and vice versa, do not need to convoluted.” complained Andheera while folding both hands on the chest and then sitting back.

“iya yes well you do not have heart.” Lyra muttered softly.

“I die if I don't have a heart.” Reply Andheera again still with his cold tone.

“astaga!!” lyra's Overest.

“don't tell anyone I can fight.” Andheera said as she looked at Lyra's face.

“why?” lyra asked not understand why she had to keep it a secret.

“only..”

“hmm alright, you're running?” ask Lyra again while paying attention to Andheera's suit from top to bottom.

“iya, what really happened last night?” Andheera suddenly discussed something else.

“they were my enemies when I was studying abroad, I did not expect them all to follow me until here hahahaa. oiia, thank you for coming.” Lyra said in her pure tone.

“if sister Lyra has the opportunity to call, sister Lyra should call the police instead of me, what if I ignore you.” he explained while staring at Lyra sticky.

“because I believe you, Andheera.” replied Lyra then smiled sweetly making the haughty girl speechless for a while.

“just like you believe in Anha, so the first person you contact is Anha.” Added.

Andheera was still silent as she stared intently at the eyes of Lyra who was also looking at her with a sweet smile, as if there was something Andheera wanted to say but her other self was trying to hold her back.

Knowing that made Lyra widen her smile.

“stop looking at me with that kind of look, do you like me Andheera?” lyra's sentence made Andheera come to her senses.

“chi!! how long will Lyra be treated?” questions that change the topic.

“about 3 or 4 days you will pick me up right?” Lyra.

“iya think of it as a reply because sister Lyra has sewed my wound 2 times, so I will help you 2 times too, after that break even.” Legally.

“hmm, are you going to continue like this Andheera?”

“apa?”

“I don't know how deep your wounds were in the past, so as to form the person of yourself like this, but can't you slowly go out and receive a helping hand from your friends, you can't keep confining yourself to Andheera.” Lyra tried to make Andheera aware of his rude attitude so far was enough to make himself confined.

“if no one brother Lyra needs I'll go.” Andheera ignores the word Lyra by avoiding it.

“i have been misunderstood from birth, those who have a negative outlook on me, should I trust the people around me now?” Andheera reasoned that he was not to blame.

“just because those who have ever looked at you negatively does not mean all will think the same.” refute Lyra with a high tone of voice.

Again Andheera is not a person who will listen to the words of others well, let alone Lyra, Vivian who has been friends with him for a long time can never change his mindset.

Andheera got up from the seat intending to leave Lyra still wanting to talk to Andheera, Lyra only fell silent for a moment while watching Andheera's footsteps walk towards the door.

“contact me if you come home later, I'll drive Lyra home.” Without looking, Andheera said her last words before opening the door and leaving.

“tak will be easy.” Lyra murmured, after Andheera disappeared from her sight.

Outside, the girl's slender, beautiful gaze seemed empty her small steps down the hospital aisle seemed a little restrained, slowly Andheera raised her small hand and then put it on the wall, he made the wall as a handle so that he could continue to walk to his destination.

All of this was also heavy for him, not Andheera's willingness to stay shut out of everyone who wanted to be close to him, only that the stigma was attached to him. It is not easy to step into the outside world and come back to believe in the people next to him.

Moreover, in adults who corner him, to make little Andheera really think if he is different, he is scary not worthy of having a friend.

But..

After meeting Vivian, Lyra, Anha the walls of her defense began to erode, as if her long-freezing heart was now slowly melting away, all the things that Andheera was trying to hide in her strong person seemed obvious they saw her.

Could it be time for him to come out of this dark room that locked his soul alone and start a new life.

***

The Reza residence.

Although Reza had offered to take her in-laws home, Diana still wanted to go alone because she had to stop by somewhere first. After a few hours Reza went to work, Diana decided to leave because she had finished packing her clothes.

He walked down the stairs with a suitcase filled with clothes in his hand, seeing that Andromeda who was relaxing below immediately rushed to Diana to bring her sizable suitcase.

“let me bring omma, (say Andromeda then take over bring her grandmother's suitcase down the stairs) omma sure will go alone, let me accompany yaa I will take a few days off.” They walked side by side down the stairs.

“no need, omma is not alone, there is Mina who accompanies omma, after all omma wants to go somewhere first before returning to bandung.” Diana chuckles.

“so, Mina will be back with omma thank God, omma will go where it used to be?” andromeda asked on her way out to the car that had been prepared to drive Diana.

“Yogyakarta, it's your grandfather's birthday, omma will visit him for a while.” Her papar.

Note: Yogyakarta is the birthplace of Andheera and Andromeda's grandfathers. Bandung was the city that brought together Andheera's grandparents, they both decided to stay hummed, but after the death of Andheera's grandfather in cremation in his hometown.

Andromeda's steps stopped after hearing Diana's goal, he only realized that today was his grandfather's birthday and no one remembered him except Diana herself.

“nothing, you can visit him next time Andromeda, because this time omma wants to go alone.” Diana said softly as she touched Andromeda's face it was clear that she felt guilty for forgetting about it.

“good omma, tell grandfather if I miss him so much and I will visit another time with Andheera.” Andromeda stepped back, then he put Diana's suitcase into the trunk of the car.

Before long, Mina also came out of the back door while carrying a large enough suitcase after saying goodbye to other ART who had worked with her for a long time, he was finally able to return home a sign his mission had been completed to guard Andheera.

He walked while sharing his sweet smile for Diana who was waiting for him beside the car he was going to ride.

Andromeda gladly helped Mina put her big suitcase into the trunk of the car followed by saying goodbye and also expressed her gratitude.

Since he had considered her a family during his stay here if it were not for Andheera's rude attitude maybe Mina wouldn't mind working forever with Reza's family.

“if working with omma is boring, sister Mina can come back here I will definitely miss brother Mina and also thank you for everything.” Said Andromeda after putting Mina's suitcase into the trunk, he looked at Mina's face as if he felt heavy to take off Mina who had helped him a lot over the past 7 years.

“may I hug you.” pinta Mina while smiling towards Andromeda.

“of course, you've been like an older sister to me, sister Mina helped me a lot in learning should be sister Mina became a teacher instead of ART.” Murmuring Andromeda who hugged Mina, Mina just smiled as she gently rubbed Andromeda's wide back.

“ayo Mina.” Diana ended Andromeda's cuddling activities with Mina, Diana felt that she was quite happy because she had to go to the airport immediately, Diana got into the car and followed by Mina, who was not a girl, andromeda was still standing until the car he was riding in had gone out of his sight.

“what am I doing ya.” Andromeda muttered before turning back inside the house.
