Pandu smiled when he saw the paper bag he now held. Not from the giver, but from the one who gives.
However, a beam of bitter light slipped into his heart. That is not the purpose of his life at this time. Except brother. My poor sister because she can't see.
He pulls his gas motor at maximum speed. The man arrived at his home in just five minutes. Really badas.
" Sory Ji, are we leaving now or what?" Pandu with a look full of regret and hasty steps to meet his best friend who looks to coffee with his mother.
Ajisaka stared at Pandu who was in a frenzy, scanning the look of his best friend who looked unusual.
" Well, where are you Ndu?" instead of answering, the narrow-eyed man is now asking questions.
" Just from his home, Lik Tamaji, do not know him at the meeting of Bu Asmah to pick up his brother at the station!" Said Pandu as he threw his back to the babylon chair beside his mother.
Ambarwati then told Ajisaka about Bu Asmah who called her a few hours ago. Ajisaka nodded in understanding.
" Old man, his memory has decreased!" sahut Aji after hearing the story from Ambarwati.
" Yes already, I stayed nampi rice first yes. The Pandu has come, you have not eaten Ndu. If not, take Aji to eat. Mom cook sambal same fried catfish it's in the back!" ambarwati said as she got up from her seat.
" Thank you Mom, Aji just ate!" sahut Aji nodded politely.
Instantly Pandu was confused, where might he tell of going with Fina. Can be finished in bully he's the same as Aji.
" Have not been hungry yet!" in less than 24 hours, he lied twice. Obviously it wasn't him.
" Well, how?" ask Pandu enthusiastically.
" We ask first, he's my brother's friend. Cost problem or how, later we can ask there!" sahut Aji's.
Yes, the attitude of Ayu who often confine himself seems to disturb Pandu. As a brother, of course he must try the best he can.

Pandu sat next to Ajisaka who was now driving his car. He folded his hands back, and closed his eyes for a moment. Feeling very tired.
" You're so tired of Ndu!" said Aji.
" It's good, but actually I just thought of Ayu Ji. So feel like a useless sister every time she sees her crying in the room!" he said he breathed.
" Patience, your test is coming again. And the one who's taking the exam, will definitely want to take the class!" sahut Ajisaka.
" Thank you Ji, thank you. You want me to keep on repotin!" Pandu threw his gaze towards Ajisaka.
" CK, I don't like you like this. So remember my Sakti!" Ajisaka.
They both chuckled to remember Sakti, who often acted better like in a telenovela movie.

Aji and Pandu have now stopped at a fairly good house. The house bearing the name and title of an ophthalmologist, it looks lonely.
...dr. Andik Heru, SpM...
Aji pressed the bell of the house, and in two rounds, appeared a middle-aged woman who was struggling to welcome the two of them.
" Yes, can you help?" said the grizzled woman.
" Is the Andik Doctor around? I made a pact with him today, said from Ajisaka!" aji said to the woman. Guide just silently while folding both hands.
" O Mas Aji, let's wait inside!" the woman replied.
The two then tailed behind the woman who is now a navigator or an impromptu guide.

After walking a few steps, he saw a young man whose age was almost worth his. But, if in view of his age the man is more mature by waiting in the middle room.
" Good Morning Doctor Andik!" ajisaka greeting to a young man wearing those glasses.
" Ah, Ajisaka mas ya. Come on, let's sit down!"
The man was friendly apparently, not as he had imagined. Considering the doctor-titled man was rich and was definitely synonymous with arrogant attitude. However, he seems to have concluded wrongly.
" This is Pandu, which I told you about yesterday. Ndu, this is Dr. Andik. He's Hendra's friend!" said Aji introduced himself to the doctor with clean skin.
" You!"
" Guide!"
They both shake hands.
" What can I help you with?" the bespectacled man spoke very casually and straightforwardly, they were now sitting in the middle room with a predominance of monochrome colors that was the affirmation of luxury.
" I have a sister who is currently experiencing post-and-run blindness!" Pandu began to explain the purpose and purpose of coming to that place.
Doctor Andik's heart aches a bit hearing that. Why there are still inhumane people in this increasingly advanced regime.
" What such a case still has hope to see?" said Pandu added. The mimic looks serious.
Doctor Andik smiled, "How long has it been?"
" Not more than two years!" answer Pandu more seriously. Aji is just a listener there, the conversation is completely dominated by Pandu and Doctor Andik.
" Does her tear glands still work? I mean can your sister still shed tears when she cries?"
Pandu nodded instantly "Can Doc!"
" It's likely that your sister was traumatized by the cornea during an accident. Injury to the head can cause various complications, one of which is loss of vision"
The two of them still diligently listened to the informative talk from Dr. Andik.
" It happens because the nerves that play a role in the process of vision such as the retina or cornea are also injured. It could be because of a bump that's too hard"
" Well, how do you do, I mean, is there a way to heal?" Pandu suddenly his feelings mixed.
The doctor smiled "Corne transplant!" said steady.
Aji and Pandu stared at each other, not understanding what the doctor meant.
" Eye donation is the anatomical retrieval of the eye, to be given to others in need. The cornea is the part of the eye needed to see clearly!"
" The procedure, the surgeon will replace the damaged cornea with a healthy cornea from the donor!"
Now they both understand. The doctor explained in such detail.
" May I know the amount of cost that must be incurred, Doc?" Pandu is certainly curious, although he is currently still difficult to find fees for his sister.
" The cost ranges from 55 million to 100 million!" review doctor Andik.
Although Pandu's face looks calm when he hears the nominal amount called, but his heart was so struck at that time. Where could he collect that much money.
" But there's still one other important thing!" said Dr. Andik.
" What's doc?" said Pandu scrunched his forehead.
" Corne donors can only be from people who have recently died, and he is willing to give his vital organs to be donated!"
"Because one cornea for one eye, we can't take corneas from a living person!"
Lightning suddenly seemed to strike even without rain let alone cloudy. Guide for a moment like losing hope. That means he will have difficulty being able to make his sister can see again.
" Yeah!" at that moment he also mentioned his sister's name while closing his eyes.
