Juan Mahardika looked weak helpless. His face was pale, but sweating coldly. His hands often rub the stomach that continues to be wrapped around.
"To the doctor, right?" elfa sat down on the bed.
"No need, chances are Akak diarrhea because the stomach Akak can not stand spicy eating."
"If you can't stand it, why do you keep eating?"
"For El's sake, I'm willing to always have a stomachache."
"Why for El?"
"Every day the menu is here and the one El likes is always spicy."
"Drink a lot of water, do not get a lack of fluids!"
"It's gone that one big bottle, I drank it all."
"El get you a drink, but El pray first huh?"
Juan Mahardika sat next to Elfa. Already during his stay in Ngawi never leave the prayer time even once. Even always on time if you hear a direct call congregating at the mosque with family.
"So do not want to pray, how do you suffocate like this?"
"Rather take water wudlu, praying while sitting or lying down can also be."
"Then guide and accompany Akak?"
"All right."
Suddenly Juan Mahardika's stomach again wrapped around and felt pain, "Oh, I want to go pup first. Just a minute!" Juan Mahardika ran straight to the bathroom.
When Juan Mahardika was in the bathroom, Elfa came out of the room to fetch water. Tell the family about the situation of Juan Mahardika. Ask Bude Marmi for help making porridge for dinner.
Bude Marmi made herbs to relieve diarrhea of hereditary ancestral herbs. Do not know the composition because when El asked Bude Marni mentioned it in Javanese. Sometimes Elfa had no idea what she was saying.
"The master alone guides for prayer, El congregate there in the mosque!" the Pakde Sarto Order.
"Corn, Pakde. El wudlu first."
Pakde Sarto and Juan Mahardika pray together in a room together. Not until the prayer ran back to the bathroom. The most important prayer that must be done.
Elfa entered Juan Mahardika's room carrying a bowl of porridge, a cup of herbs, and a large bottle of mineral water, "Let's eat first, then just drink herbs!"
"You what?"
"El doesn't know either, Bude Marmi did. Just eat it first!"
Juan Mahardika just sat leaning on the bed and straightened her legs, "Acotty hands are limp there is no strength."
Elfa took a spoon and put a spoon of porridge on Juan Mahardika's mouth, "Let's open her mouth!"
With a sweet smile, Juan Mahardika opened her mouth. Bribes by mouth continue to be accepted even without a word. One bowl instantly ludes without waste quickly.
"Thank you, how good would it be to be bribed?"
"Mode, want to drink water first or drink herbal medicine first?"
Elfa looked at the contents of the cup that looked yellow. He kissed for a moment the herbal medicine wanted to know the basic ingredients in it. There is the smell of ginger, honey, cinnamon and turmeric.
"There's honey must be sweet. At the dinner first huh?"
"Yes." Yeah." Juan Mahardika only opened his mouth and did not raise his hand.
"Sweet, right?"
"Yes very sweet as that which feeds."
Juan hadn't spent his time. The stomach returns as it is stirred and wrapped around. Run to the bathroom holding her stomach.
Almost three hours Juan Mahardika still back and forth to the bathroom. Although it began to decrease and not as often as this afternoon. Still Juan Mahardika grew weaker and paler
Elfa could not bear to leave the man who always adored him. Every time I get out of the bathroom. Elfa always asked Juan Mahardika to drink as much water as possible.
No matter how much drink Elfa offers. Juan always spent until there was nothing left. Moreover, drink only to open the mouth, which holds the glass remains Elfa.
"Oh, I'm so limp" said Juan Mahardika, laying her body on the bed.
"Rest and sleep if you can, brother!"
"Yes Akak wants to close his eyes for a while, but don't leave Akak!"
"Yes, sleep!"
Juan Mahardika closed her eyes, grabbed Elfa's hand to hold tightly, "I don't want to be left with El."
Elfa just stood still and let her hands cling tightly. The burly body did not look helpless. The usually radiant face now looked deathly pale.
Feeling guilty for actually knowing if you might not like to eat spicy. Appetite and habits are different from most people. Not accustomed to eating rice and eating spicy is likely to trigger diarrhea.
Elfa fell silent while looking at Juan Mahardika's face. Remembering when he was sick, the man never left for a second. Always treat sincerely even if always get rejection.
Two hours passed Juan Mahardika could sleep peacefully. Hands kept clinging without letting go. Wanting to let go many times, but unable and afraid to wake up.
It was almost midnight, but El was still awake when his eyes began to feel heavy. Every hand wants to be drawn there is a momentary movement of Juan Mahardika. Not wanting to wake up, Elfa finally chose to put his head next to the clenched hand.
More than midnight, Juan Mahardika woke up because his stomach still hurts even though it has been reduced. Still holding Elfa's hand tightly. Seeing Elfa sleeping with a sitting position and head on the edge of the bed.
Together for almost a week. Just this time it felt very close and getting closer. Uncovering the hair that covers part of the face.
"Thank you, I'm so fond of El. Akak's heirloom is back to normal now. Whatever El did, Akak gave thanks, only realizing now it was all for Akak's own good" the monologue Juan Mahardika herself.
Juan Mahardika's hand was still holding Elfa's hand tightly. If you want to be selfish and follow your heart, you don't want the link to come off until morning. However, since love begins to realize that love will only give and keep.
Although many times the heirloom of greatness woke up, but as if he knew now this is not the time to enjoy. Heirloom remained a henchman and as if to understand, was asked to sleep hurriedly he slept without rebelling.
Gently Juan Mahardika rubbed Elfa's hair. Slowly pull the hand from the hand so as not to wake up. Without waking up, Juan Mahardika held bridal Elfa and laid on the bed and gave a blanket to the chest.
Juan Mahardika looked at the face of the girl who made her head over heels in pursuit of her love. First time in love because it follows an heirloom that seems not to want to move to another place. When he saw his calm face when he fell asleep immediately remembered the past.
Before without feeling guilty immediately enjoy the paradise of the world together. Without regard for the consequences that will be caused. Most importantly it could feel its beauty soaring into the seventh sky.
"Akak missed that very moment, I was eager to repeat the beautiful night like that time, El," the monologue Juan Mahardika approached Elfa's lips.
