Maemunah came back to Bara, and invited him to return home.
" We just go home, the new mother knows that in the hospital is not allowed young children to visit patients".
" It's okay that you don't meet with Alma's sister, I've given you my regards and Alma's sister said that she will try to get well soon, so that she can meet you again".
Bara's expression still remained sullen as his plan to meet Alma was not realized. And was forced to walk home in his mother's footsteps.
Maemunah has not been in the hospital for a long time. It is good to visit a neighbor or seek treatment when he and his children are sick. Although it has a BPJS card and can be free, Maemunah prefers to drink the medicine he bought at the stall, rather than going all the way to the city.
" At present time there are only rules in the hospital, which uses a black clock, which prohibits young children from visiting the sick, and again the mother read in the rules that can take care of patients only two people".
" In the past when your father was still around, when my mother gave birth to Alma in the hospital, almost all neighbors can be made, free there is no limit on what time can be made, he said, even sometimes your father's friends go to the hospital rame-rame".
Along the way Maemunah continued to nag about feeling disappointed and angry because she could not accompany Alma in the hospital.
His daughter was rarely sick, almost never, and once she was sick and had to miss a miscarriage, Maemunah could not accompany her. It makes him feel emotional.
" Mother tomorrow can come again to the hospital, during the day, Bara will go to school, and Bara will go home to Bang Ipul school".
Since Alma participated in the science olympiad in Jakarta, tutoring activities were given to one of Alma's friends who were also quite smart, although not as smart as Alma, but could teach the younger class.
He is Bang Ipul, Alma's upperclassman, but not one school. Alma immediately gave tutoring activities to Bang Ipul, initially still held at Alma's house, but only 3 days later, finally the tutoring activities moved in Bang Ipul's house.
Continuing until now, because Alma had to move to Akio's house, finally tutoring continues to be held at Bang Ipul's house.
Maemunah nodded, "that's right, tomorrow I'm going to the hospital after cooking".
" Akio will definitely go to school as well, so all of you bring him breakfast".
Maemunah smiled with relief because there was a solution for tomorrow. Monday the loundry stall is closed, so get to the hospital early in the morning.

Today as planned, Maemunah came to the hospital early in the morning, she was surprised to see Akio sleeping in bed with Alma, and they hugged each other.
Even though in the VVIP room there is still one more bed, which is deliberately provided by the hospital, for the patient's family bed.
" They do not do strange things right?", inner Maemunah, worried Alma and Akio do not know the rules if women who are puerperal are forbidden to have sex.
Maemunah revealed a little blanket that covered their bodies, and felt so relieved that they were both still fully dressed. " Thank God, you're not doing anything that's forbidden".
After putting the plastic bag containing the oil paper package on the table, Maemunah woke Akio and Alma.
Akio got up and immediately walked to the bathroom, doing the morning routine in the bathroom.
While Alma sat down and tied her unraveling hair.
" What did you bring?, food?".
Alma knew her exact meaning to Akio, but Alma was not sure Akio would like her mother's cooking. Only fried rice and eggplant.
" Yes, the mother cooked fried rice, rice yesterday is still a lot, so the mother fried for breakfast Bara, she is very happy because in added egg ceplok. I hope Akio will like it too".
Akio exited the bathroom with a face that looked fresher.
" Kak Akio will go to school, let the mother who guards Alma here, the loundry kiosk today is closed, so the mother has no work, and can take care of Alma all day".
" If you don't go to school today, maybe your friends will be more wondering and curious about your relationship".
" It's also funny if your friends look up, Akio keeps looking after Alma".
Akio, who initially had intended not to go to school, eventually changed his plans. There's a truth to what her mother-in-law said. For a while they had to keep their marriage a secret.
" Now breakfast first Nak Akio, mother bring fried rice with flat eggs, Bara really like it".
Akio stared at the fried rice that had been opened and placed on the table. Then sit in front of the fried rice, and start feeding spoon by spoon into his mouth.
And true Alma's guess, just three tablespoons of fried rice and spent a flat mouth Akio finished his breakfast.
" Akio is full, ma'am, thanks for breakfast. Akio goes to school first", Akio tells Maemunah. Then he approached Alma, hugged her briefly and kissed her forehead gently, and while Maemunah was tidying up the remaining fried rice, Akio quickly kissed Alma's lips, when Maemunah did not see him.
" I'm leaving first baby, take good care of yourself, if there's anything, just call" Akio said as he left Alma.
Arriving at school Akio met directly with Pak Bayu, his homeroom teacher, said that Alma was sick and was on clearance for several days not to go to school.
The news of Alma's illness spread throughout the school. Especially now that Alma became one of the popular girls in school. So the news about him spread very quickly.
" Fen, do you know where Alma is being treated?" asked Ronal the class president. Ronal's best friend Alma is Feni.
Instead of answering, instead Feni looked at Akio. " I don't know, just ask the babe" said Feni, pointing at Akio with his chin.
" Where is Alma in the care of do you know?", this time Ronal stared at Akio.
" Medica hospital", Akio answered briefly.
But hurried out of class when he heard the break bell ringing.
Though Ronal and the others also want to ask Alma's room where, but Akio's hunt disappears in the classroom hallway.
" That guy's expression is flat, even though the girl is sick again, but there is no sad look" Feni murmured.
" Maybe that's the way to express, don't gossip ah, later we look at Alma rame-rame yuk".
" He has helped us a lot to cheat every time there is a PR that we can not do", invite Ronal to his classmates.
" Okay, I agree, we just dues class yuk, to help ease the cost of Alma hospital, pity it must be his mother confused nyari money to pay hospital fees where".
" Unless that dead guy's willing to pay all Alma's hospital bills". Feni looked away thinking of Akio as her boyfriend Alma.
***
After school, Akio went straight to the hospital. Just as the doctor was doing a visit in Alma's room.
" How's Alma Dok doing?".
Akio immediately stood closer beside the doctor after finishing the examination.
" It's starting to improve, and it's stabilizing. Lucky yesterday mba Alma was brought here on time, if it was too late for a while, it might endanger her uterus as well ". The doctor paused for a moment, looked at Akio and finally ventured to ask.
" I'm sorry Mas Akio, yesterday your mother-in-law met me, and she begged me to put contraceptives on Alma's body, but I can't just do the medical, just like that, because there is your husband, who has the authority to make decisions".
Maemunah immediately lowered her head, feeling bad for Akio.
" But if I may express my opinion, maybe it is necessary, other than because of Alma's very young age, also, the condition of the fetus after a miscarriage should be given time for recovery first".
" I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interfere with Mas Akio. Unless Mas Akio can do KB independently, or use kon dom maybe Mba Alma does not need to install contraceptives in his body".
Akio nodded his head, though,.
" Then do your best, Doc. Install contraceptives that can last up to 5 years, and are not complicated".
The doctor smiled in relief, feeling like he had saved someone's life from the brink of death.
" Well if Mas Akio as her husband has agreed, tomorrow on Tuesday I will immediately attach KB implant to mba Alma, after I think about it, maybe it is the most efficient".
The doctor came out of Alma's room, and passed a group of high school children with the logo Pelita Jaya on the right arm of his school uniform. They're Alma's friends.
Alma's friends greeted the doctor and asked the nurse who was behind the doctor.
" I'm sorry Sus, which room of patients is Almahyra Elshanum?", Ronal asked on behalf of her friends.
" Owh, you're friends of Mba Alma yes, that room" Sister showed me the VVIP room at the end of the hall.
Everyone looked at each other in disbelief. The shadow of those who thought Alma was treated in a room so many patients and lined and cramped.
It turns out that Alma occupies a VVIP room with complete facilities.
" Thank you so much Sus....".
They all walked towards the room in question, and were so shocked when they entered the room that Akio was already in the room, feeding Alma green bean porridge that was given from the hospital.
" Akio..!", in unison all eyes stared at that cold and handsome face.
Alma and Akio stared at the door in shock, finding their classmates coming to visit.
