Ice Cream
Classical reason

Inside treatment room number 73...

Brahman and Sela walked in with a bouquet of flowers and a parcel of fruits they brought to visit Istianti.

But the atmosphere became unpleasant when Brahman saw a figure sitting on the bench next to the bed.

The reunion between the bear and the elephant, Brahman and Jaelani clearly shows hostility towards each other.

"Hey brain shrimp why are you here?, don't you just go home and look after your shop." Speak Brahman with a dismissive tone.

But Jaelani pretended to smile and returned the words...."Oh pufferfish, you're not usually here, wouldn't you rather fill your free time by reading the newspaper, drinking coffee and pineapple jam bread along with pineapple peel as well."

Both were offended, equally angry and equally unwilling to lose, but Brahman was clearly more sensitive to hear the insults from Jaelani.

"Do you want to make a fuss, Jae..."

"Oh, who's afraid..." Then Jaelani stood up and pulled up her sleeve.

Until one middle-aged nurse came to bring various kinds of drugs to do periodic health checks to the wife.

But before the sister came, of course, she also heard the feud between two men who faced each other there.

"Gentlemen please calm down, this is a hospital, not a football field or a boxing ring, if you make a troublemaker then I'll call security." Speak to the nurse with a glint of her sharp eyes.

As for the situation where in the room Isti was in, there were three others watching them.

"Father, don't get carried away, at least be patient, because it will disturb other patients." Sela took Brahman's hand gently.

"All right..." Brahman answered Sela.

And once again, Jaelani felt utterly defeated by the attention of Sela who seduced Brahman with her soft, melodious voice.

"Thank you to my wife Jae, if it wasn't for her request, I would've thrown you out the window." Brahman with a boasting smile, feels victorious for having a beautiful and sexy young wife like Sela.

"Can you please ?. What I see now is not muscle, but fat in your belly." Jaelani's laughter heated up Brahman.

Once again the two stood and looked at each other...."Oh, you're gonna try that."

"Of course."

As soon as they were about to make a scene again, the coughing sound from Sister was like a loud warning sign, and both of them understood to remain calm.

"Rohmad..." Cibir Jaelani's.

"Pbu.su.sueb." Brahman also replied.

Still Brahman and Jaelani can not be invited to compromise, to the confusion Sela saw the behavior of the two like a child who lost because of playing mute, then ridiculed each other's parents' names.

After the nurse checked Istianti, Sela handed the parcel in her hand. Brahman looked around, he felt uncomfortable smelling the aroma of medicine and the atmosphere was filled with sick people who were being istighfar.

Brahman had a bad experience in the hospital.

After Abram was shot and killed while saving him from a fire. For 5 days Brahman must be treated seriously enough with unbearable pain.

"Why did you get a place in the 2nd classroom like this, wouldn't it be better to choose a VIP room." Brahman said with a facial expression it looked like he was seeing something that was not at his level.

"Start again, come out arrogant..." Syndir Jaelani.

The irritable Brahman was aware of Jaelani's attitude..."Do you have Jae's problem."

"Yes, I always have a problem with you, as long as you know Brahman, for you the VIP room is a cheap price, even if you want, you can stay for up to 1 month without worrying about the cost... But for Isti it's certainly not easy."

Hearing that, Brahman laughed...."Really.your poor soul thrashed Jae, I'm confused, why you used to be willing to take off your territory and live like now, look to give assistance to Istianti only you have to think about the cost. Tomorrow move Isti to the VIP room, let me pay for everything."

"That's not necessary, Mr. Brahman, help from Jaelani is enough." It is just that Isti rejected Brahman's wishes.

Of course the reason is simple, he does not want to look indebted, and will also make the arrogant soul of Brahman higher above the head. A man like Brahman if given a stage, it is like a noble man to dare to fight against God.

"Don't reject it Isti, I don't want to be looked at lightly by this one human being."

"I don't look down, just want to insult you." That's what Jaelani blatantly said.

"You're too honest for someone who's always looking for trouble with me."

Despite the hostility, Jaelani decided to go home, he had been in the hospital all night, of course there are many things to do at home.

"Okay Isti, I'll go home first, I'll come again tonight. If this man does anything to you, just say it, let me break his neck. " Jaelani said goodbye.

"Thank you Jae, I'm sure Mr. Brahman won't do anything bad."

Walk out and open the door..."Rest, get well soon."

But not long after Jaelani left, Brahman also got a phone call about work, he certainly did not want to bother himself to take care of the sick who in the end made him lose time.

"Who is papa." Ask Sela.

"Office people, they call if there's a new project plan that needs to be met, so because of that, I can't stay here for long, I'll go to the office." Reply Brahman while putting the phone back into the bag of pants.

"Alright papa, let me be here guarding Isti."

Isti was uncomfortable with their presence...."No matter madam, Ryan's coming home soon, I'm sure he'll be here. So madam doesn't have to look after me."

"Don't make me like Isti's bad guy, there's no way I'll let a sick man take care of himself." But Sela insisted.

Isti has no other choice ..."Thank you madam."

"I'll go first, if you want to go home, just call the driver to pick you up, or take a taxi... It's up to you."

"Good papa."

After Brahman went out, Istianti and Sela left both in the treatment room.

In a place filled with sick people, certainly not making them talk casually, the human voice called the name of their god like a life at the end of the throat, even the smell of medicine is uncomfortable to breathe.

The content of Sela's mind was so complicated and began to talk about what made her unhappy.... "Sir Isti, I really know how difficult it is to live as a poor person, working hard from morning to night but not being able to make ends meet, feeling humiliated when looked down upon by others and we can not only obey without daring to fight back. So why would my sister want to live like this ?."

"How else, maybe this is fate." Short answer Isti said.

A slight smile from Sela was like she was mocking ..."Fate?, what a classic excuse, when I found out from Brahman, you could change your life, because you're actually the daughter of a wealthy family."

"Why, then?, living in a wealthy family, but I'm not happy."

"But now behold, what can you do with your present condition, pray to God that all will be well ?."

"Maybe it's like that."

Sela does not like Isti's answer, she always denies that her misery is not a bad thing. As for Sela a poverty is like a disgrace that she wants to get rid of.

"Don't joke, Isti, I used to think that money can't buy happiness, but when I don't have money, let alone be happy, it feels like I want to die." Sela said with a serious face.

"I realized what I was doing, and I have no regrets about my life right now."

Sela did not understand why the mind of an Istianti was so difficult to change. Unlike Sela, she is willing to sacrifice many things even her own happiness, for the sake of a better life, despite having to seduce an old man like Brahman.

Istianti's position now, as Sela saw a mirror, where the reflection in front of her eyes, was her from the past.
