...🕯️🕯️🕯️...

"Syifa you sure want to go home now"

"Related."

Lena fell silent.

"How else if Syifa doesn't come home now Mama will be suspicious" he said as they walked down the hospital corridor.

Well, Syifa decided to go home. Don't want to feel like he's lingering in this hospital.

"Oh yeah, Syifa can say something not the same Lena?"

"What by the way?"

Lena stopped her steps and looked at Syifa who looked down. Syifa momentarily stared at her fingers which had never been silent since anxious.

"Lo why, anyway?"

"Syifa wants to say something to Lena."

"Well, by the way!"

Syifa. He took a deep breath then exhaled slowly. Syifa moved her fingers and tightly clasped Lena's fingers staring in confusion.

"Lena would not hide this secret from Mama Syifa?"

Both Syifa's eyes were shocked. He quickly slammed into Syifa's hand which had been holding her fingers.

"Enak. It's important to know that. This can't be banned. Your parents should know that you're sick."

"Old man? Crazy, yes Lena. Syifa's parents are separated."

"Yes, I'll keep telling mommy and Papa lo if you have studio 3 brain cancer. Understand not lo," he said with a threatening tone even his jaw looks stiff.

Honestly, he was very upset by what Syifa had thought that forbade him to tell Mama and her Papa.

"Lena know, Len? Syifa doesn't want to involve parents."

Lena made gawking. He laughed almost as if he was mocking.

"Syifa, this is serious. You have a disease that doesn't play games. You can die you know."

Syifa poked her lips and scratched her non-itchy nape. He stepped up and sat down in a waiting chair in the hospital. There were some people who were locusts passing through.

To be honest, he also did not understand what he had to do now.

"Syifa knows, Len but this time Lena should understand if Mama knows the truth she would be sad. Syifa did not want to squirm Mama sad."

Lena pensively looked at Syifa's sad face.

"So I want to make you sick like a gini! Syifa, they all need to know. If I don't tell them all, I'll be wronged."

Syifa leaned her head against the wall with both eyes tightly closed. He rubbed his head and took a deep breath and opened his eyes again.

"This is it, deh. Let Syifa tell them about Syifa's illness."

"Yes, deh. I promise, will you tell them later?"

"Yes, let Syifa tell Mama and Lena not to tell them."

"What really?"

"Yes" he said, nodding his head to try to convince Lena.

"Ah, you'll lie again. Later you will not tell Mama with Papa lo."

"What is the importance of telling them about my illness? They don't care about Syifa either."

"You mean?"

Hearing that killing Syifa got up from the chair made Lena look up.

"Sir Jaya?"

"Yes, Jaya sir is his close friend Mama. He said he wanted to get married."

"Huh?" surprised Lena.

"Isn't that?"

"Em," he said.

"Well, eat meat again, dong me." he said with a happy smile.

Syifa smiled slightly. Just now Lena's face was panicked because of her illness but after hearing the words marriage and food then smiled happily. Yeah, like now.

"When's the wedding?"

"I don't know, Syifa certainly won't be their blessing."

"Who? Wh why? It's good that you get married and that means you have a new Papa."

Hearing that made Syifa shake her head slowly as if she did not expect that Lena would answer and say this.

"Crazy, Lena" he said, then he walked away.

"Well, what's wrong with me?" ask him to yourself.

"Lena?!!" shouted Lena who stared at the departure of Syifa who now left her.

"Shyifa! Whoa!!! Lo angry?!!"

"Lu should be happy that Mama is married. That means you have a new Papa!!!"

"Syifa doesn't need a new Papa!!!" answer Syifa.

"Woi, leave me again!!!" he then ran after Syifa's departure.

...🕯️🕯️🕯️...

"Lena, I'm asking for help, yeah! Please, don't tell my mom!"

"But I don't have the heart. You should tell this to Mama Lo if you are sick. No, I'm tired of not knowing, anyway talking this to lo."

"Lo is not ordinary pain and lo pain is not kidding. You're not sick like you have the flu or you're sick, but you're sick. Don't you know, anyway?"

"Yes understand. Now gini aja, deh Lena shadowin if for example the position of Lena is the same Syifa. Syifa's parents were divorced and they were all busy with each other's lives."

"Nobody cares about Syifa. Even if Syifa wants to die, even if they don't care about Syifa."

"Papa too, now he already has a new family and he already has children from his new wife. That's why Syifa's position has been changed."

"Can you understand, huh?" the whispers made Lena speechless.

This is exactly what Syifa said. He understood, his best friend from childhood had indeed faced such a bitter life. In the past Lena has been a witness to how the harmony of the household of Papa Mama from Syifa itself.

Lena used to feel jealous because she saw Syifa who was always picked up by her parents. Somehow the two can divorce each other to separate the wound on the figure of Syifa.

Life is spinning. Sometimes happiness is felt and sometimes sadness is approaching. Lena was silent for a moment, long enough. Apparently he struggled with his own mind thinking about what he needed to do until finally he moved his head to look at the figure of Syifa who is now silent.

Always when they talked about family, Syifa always fell silent with a sad look on her face.

Lena touched the back of Syifa's fingers, making Syifa turn her head.

"Lo be calm, really! I will keep this secret and I will be next to you. Take care of everything you need in and your nemenin during the examination, okay?"

Hearing that made Syifa smile expand on her lips.

"Okay, Thanks."

"Ehem! If in friendship there is no word of thanks," he said to make Syifa smile a little.
