Damar had just finished replacing his work clothes with clean clothes. He was about to go home after work from eight in the morning to five in the afternoon. But when he was on the bike, his phone rang. From the other side came the voice of Sigit, his brother, who was crying, telling him that his mother was sick.
[Alright, Brother will be home soon. Please take care of your mother!] pinta Damar's. After that, he immediately hit the gas to go home at high speed.
Arriving home, Damar found his mother lying weakly in bed. From his sister, Damar knew that his mother was sick because she was too tired to work, but not balanced with healthy and enough food.
"We're taking the mother to the hospital. Nan, help Abang megangin Mother, yes" said Damar.
"To the hospital?" Nanda asked back.
"Yes." Yeah."
"Does Mother think she wants to? Notwithstanding. Mother will not want because we no longer have money, Bang. You know your income as a washing worker is only enough to eat us. School is often very difficult. Where do you want to be invited to seek treatment."
"Why not? Brother will be responsible!"
"Cannot. What about my school?"
"What do you mean, Nan?"
"If you were taken to the hospital and you had to be treated, who would pay for my college admission?"
"Astagfirullah Nanda's. Times like this are not important. You see kobdyBunda, sick, limp. Mother needs medical help. You are not helping to think about your education. Don't be a selfish child!"
"Agoist? Who is selfish? Me or Brother. A truly selfish brother! Mommy is sick because of dizziness thinks that Brother who wants to marry the teacher is flirtatious, the teacher, after all I've been heartened not to join the stand for a month and choose to study alone for the college entrance exam is still considered selfish?"
"Double! My brother told me not to just talk. Who likes and chases Bu Dita is Brother, not the other way around!"
"If he's self-conscious he should keep a consistent distance from you, not as avid as I saw yesterday after school. You guys met, right? I am not ashamed. What if friends see? Tega Brother. I have to endure the shame. Like there are no women of the same age."
"Don't bring Ms. Dita in this matter Nan, better now focus on how to get the mother healed soon."
"What are you arguing about again?" suddenly Mother was standing not far from her children.
"Mother just wake up. Mommy is okay? We're going to the hospital, okay?" tawar Damar's.
"No need. Mommy's okay." replied Ms. Anis.
"But Mother's face is pale."
"That's exactly what Nanda said, Mar. Mother can't leave. A little pain can not be spoiled. Mother must immediately go to the house of Ms. Sinta to take care of the laundry. Mommy should not disappoint your customers because later they can find new workers."
"meaning?" ask mom and Nanda at the same time.
"From now on Damar will be responsible for the economy of this family, including the education of younger siblings. Damar will try as much as possible to fulfill everything. Mother no longer needs to work hard. It's time to retire and enjoy your time to rest. And you, Nan, don't have to worry. College business, brother will try. The brother will prepare your registration fee "
"Really bang?" Nanda still can't believe it. His smile grew as his brother repeated the promise that Nanda believed was spoken with seriousness. His brother has really changed. Nanda admitted that, so it is better after establishing a relationship with Bu Dita, but that does not mean Nanda approved of the relationship. This is not all, there will be many more ways that he and his mother will play so that his brother's plan to marry their teacher is canceled. To Nanda, only Brother Rana is worthy of his brother!
"Now the mother is on medication, yes." Damar persuaded his mother. "Mother no need to worry, Damar has started working since today, next month Damar will receive a salary. Three million rupiah, excluding bonuses if Damar's work performance is good. So how?"
Anis and Nanda looked at each other. Because Damar did not give up easily, finally Bu Anis agreed to also be taken to the hospital but on conditions that make Damar less like.
"Why do I have to take Rana, anyway, Bun? There is Damar. Damar will take care of the mother. Rana must be busy right now. It's not good to bother them "
"What's okay? Riding bikes? Mother lemes, Mar. Mother is afraid of falling,"
"Then Damar lent Babah a neighbor?"
"No, no Mar. Not delicious. We will even have to pay. Our money is limited, Mar. Must be frugal. Never mind, Mommy wants to be escorted by Rana. If not already, you do not need to go to the hospital!
"Geez, Bun,"
"It has. Now please call Rana, get her here."
"You called Rana's sister, did you, Bun?" with a quick movement, Nanda went straight into her mother's room, picked up her mother's butute, then contacted Rana.
Meanwhile, Damar could do nothing but surrender, watching his mother and sister. He did not realize that this was the reason of the two of them to bring Damar closer to Rana. The two of them had indeed arranged a strategy so that the marriage of Damar and Bu Dita failed.

Rana really deftly takes care of Ms. Anis. She accompanied him in the examination room, and even calmed down when the doctor told him the diagnosis that his mother Damar was suffering from chronic honey.
"Even though it's just a magh pain, but don't underestimate because the consequences can be fatal." The doctor said, reminding. "Well, her sons and daughters Bu Anis should actively remind her of her mother's mealtime, yes." Order the doctor again.
"Son Rana is not my daughter, doc," said the mother.
"Oh so? I think her daughter because of the painstaking care of the mother." replied the doctor so that made Bu Anis proud because the choice was right, while Rana smiled shyly. He hoped that Damar would listen and make the doctor's assessment a consideration for his choice.
"Not Doc, this is my son." Anis pointed at Damar. "But actually this son of Rana is my daughter-in-law's candidate. So it's the same Doc, it's gonna be a kid too." Bu Anis smiled, followed by the doctor and Rana, while Damar frowned. Doesn't like his mother's excessive jokes. Damar was even worried that Rana was offended or not feeling well, so he hurriedly told the doctor after being sure everything was finished.
