" 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.
Akio immediately stood up and placed the cup containing green bean porridge that stayed half that on the nightstand. His eyes looked towards the standing of his friends.
Akio could hear the hearts of his various friends.
~ Was immediately blurred when I asked where Alma was treated, it turned out that the person was already here first~ Ronal
~ The cold Akio who is like ice cubes, it turns out the treatment to Alma so sweat really. I also want to be fed that porridge~ Feni
~ I guess the songong did not come to visit, so I asked to come, even though the class is different. It turns out that even already first, the bottom of Kampret~ Bagas
" Come in, let's go in" Maemunah's voice made Akio stop reading his friends' minds.
" You turned out to be here first?", Mr Bayu who was standing in front of the entrance walked in. Staring at Akio who was just smiling faintly. Bayu reached out his hand to greet Maemunah and told Ronal who was carrying a fruit parcel to put on the table.
The actual parcel fruit was a fairly large size, bought from the classroom cash, as most of Alma's friends were rich children. Classes are also a lot.
But unfortunately there was a fruit parcel on that table with a very large size. Of course it was Akio who ordered, asking the butler to put all kinds of fruit into the parcel. So the parcel brought by Alma's classmates impressed small.
" I'm sorry Alma's mother, we didn't bring anything", Bayu said an apology while glancing at the huge and complete fruit parcel with a bad feeling.
" This is more than enough Mr. Teacher, all of you coming to visit Alma alone mother has been very grateful".
" That's a sign Alma's not alone, she's got a lot of friends she's in school with. I used to be very worried that Alma had no friends in Pelita Jaya, because Alma was not good at getting along" Maemunah said so honestly.
The rest of Alma's friends went into the room, they all shook hands with Alma, only to Maemunah, and then there were those sitting on the sofa, some were sitting in beds prepared for the waiter, some were sitting on the couch, there are those on the edge of Alma's bed, some are still standing while observing the state of Alma.
" What are you sick with, Al?, vacationing instead of staying at the hotel instead of going to the hospital" quipped Feni, making everyone laugh immediately.
" The doctor said typus symptoms", Maemunah replied. Because Alma had been silent for so long as to say a lie.
" Oooh.".", all of them were straight.
" Maybe it was because Alma was so diligent in her studies that she forgot to eat huh Bi?", guess Boy, whose seat was in front of Alma.
" No, it's not that, I'm not as skilled as you can imagine", muttered Alma softly, still with her pale face.
" Are you depressed because you represent Indonesia in the international science olympiad for a month?", Mr. Bayu was curious, because if the diagnosis of Alma is typhus, it may be due to an irregular Alma diet, he said, but Alma denied it, meaning another cause because Alma was feeling stressed thinking about something.
" It could be like that, teacher". Alma just doesn't want the teacher and the others to constantly think about the cause of her in the typus diagnosis. Because that's not the real reason he's in the hospital.
Maemunah, who understood that her daughter was uncomfortable, finally pulled out a variety of snacks, and drinks that were already in the large refrigerator in the room. To distract and change the subject.
Sure enough, it was very efficient, because Alma's friends immediately boisterous, they took one by one cold drink after being invited by Maemunah.
" It was very hot outside, so thirsty. We all have a few hours here, Mr. teacher, the room is cool and comfortable. No longer does the medicine smell like a kayak in the hospital" said Daniel, one of Alma's classmates.
" Huuuu.", Daniel gets cheers from girlfriends.
But the guy's friend agreed with Daniel's proposal. Outside it is hot, if in Alma's room for an hour it means they come out around 3, and the sun has started to fall. Not too hot.
" What are you riding here for?, thank you for looking at me".
" Thank you, teacher, Alma has taken a look" said Alma staring at Mr. Bayu who was sitting on the sofa with several male students.
Mr. Bayu just nodded, "may you get well soon Al, you are the pride of all of us, another month you will fly to Almaty, Kazakhstan. So take care of your health. Don't stress, let's not drop. Indonesia's good name is on your shoulders".
Alma nodded in understanding, it was true that he had to recover soon, because he had to return to fight for the name of the nation.
" Right said Mr. Bayu. You must immediately recover Al, the teacher had already given the announcement that next Monday there will be a mathematical repetition".
" So you have to get well soon and go to Al school, so there's something I can ask", Boy who is currently sitting next to Pak Bayu immediately get a jewel in his ear.
" Please sir, I don't mean to cheat, I'll say that there's something I can ask you before I repeat, if there's something I don't think is clear, so sir", Boy grinned, Boy grinned, and holding his ear that felt hot after being hired by Mr. Bayu, and now he became a laughing stock for his other friends.
For an hour they were actually in Alma's room, telling each other stories and joking, making the atmosphere even warmer and more crowded. Not even noticeably, an hour went by so quickly.
Pak Bayu and friends Alma say goodbye after spending drinks and quite a lot of fruit, snacks and snacks provided by Akio, Akio deliberately bought them for stock if at any time Alma wanted to snack. And it turns out all the snacks were gone at his friends' meals.
" May Alma recover soon"
Mr. Bayu and Maemunah did talk quite a lot earlier, initially Bayu was curious why Alma could be very intelligent despite being born in a family that is not able to.
And an immediate answer was found, when Maemunah told him the name of Alma's father. He is Mr. Sobari, who was in college when Bayu, Mr. Sobari was one of the speakers at a seminar on astronomy, which he had attended.
Bayu also said he had met with Mr. Sobari several times, and had heard also the news of his death. But Bayu was at that time KKN in Kalimantan, making him not present at Pak Sobari's funeral.
And Bayu became very concerned for Alma who had experienced a difficult time in his life, fortunately his father's intelligence decreased to him. And Bayu believes, if Alma is able to improve the standard of living of his family to be better, more prosperous and prosperous.
It can even be seen from now, he was able to attend school in Pelita Jaya with the help of a scholarship. In fact, it is certain that he obtained a scholarship to graduate, after winning the 1st national science olympiad champion yesterday.
And if Alma can win again at the international level next month, then Alma can choose which university he wants to make his college place, and it is free up to S2. Both at home and abroad, because Alma is a huge asset for any school or university he chooses.

" It's late in the afternoon, if you want to rest and go home just say the same to Akio, let Akio later tell the driver to drive you".
Akio sat on the sofa to help his mother-in-law clean up plastic waste and used drink bottles of his friends earlier.
Alma closed his eyes because he had not napped, the plan to take a nap after eating porridge became a failure due to the arrival of his friends.
Maemunah who finished putting the used bottles into the plastic bag nodded and stood up, to put the trash bag in the large trash can that was in front of the room. But Akio asked for it and threw the trash forward.
Akio returned to the sofa to sit down and rested his head on the back of the chair. And suddenly Maemunah reached out her hand while holding the envelope that had been given by Mr. Bayu to her.
" This was from Mr. Bayu, he said to help with hospital costs, and this is the BPJS Alma card, if you use this card who knows who is given hospital fee waivers".
Alma who had closed her eyes to sleep, but had not really slept finally pretended to sleep, but she put her ears to listen to the chatter of mother and Akio.
Actually Alma had expected his mother would do that, she remained silent with her eyes closed and her body tilted facing the sofa, she said, the economic situation of his family which was once very concerned to make his mother accustomed to living frugal and calculation. And it still happens to this day.
" I just keep the envelope for mother's use, the mother was here and also yesterday with Bara came here to ride the ojek, so it can be for transportation and other needs".
" Hospital costs, the cost of redeeming drugs, curettage actions, and actions of KB tomorrow, all have been taken care of by the confidant Akio Bu, and in this room it is impossible also to use BPJS, as well, because this is a VVIP room".
Maemunah actually also knows, if this is a VVIP room, but she just feels bad for Akio who bears all the needs of Alma, even though they are married. Sometimes Maemunah feels that her existence beside Alma has been useless, since Alma married Akio. Because all the problems must have been solved by Akio so quickly and easily. Whether it's a small problem or a big problem. Everything is finished so easily.
" I'm sorry mommy, son, because you can't help me" Maemunah felt very sad and useless.
" Mommy.., the presence of the mother here is more than enough, the mother accompanied him and took care of him all day, it helps Alma to recover quickly. And the mother's prayer is the most important, because the mother's prayer will soon be heard and granted by the Almighty".
In her heart Alma again felt so lucky to have Akio as her husband. He is very polite and good at word management.
Although in a friend who looks as beautiful as he is very cold, quiet, stiff and ketus, plus likes to organize. But his treatment of Alma and his mother is different, he is so polite, always caring, always attentive and also very romantic.
Alma's thoughts about Akio instantly faded away when the heartwarming moment in the room instantly disappeared, as Sean suddenly came and entered the room without first knocking on the door.
" Good afternoon everyone....!".
" Waduh, the handsome guy is here, must have come home from school directly here?", guess Sean because he saw Akio was still in school uniform.
" Wah..wah...wah...this is a lot of parcels from anywhere bi?", Sean chose to sit next to Maemunah who was seen putting a white envelope and a card into his bag.
" So Alma and Akio's classmates came here".
" You're here from school or you've been home?, have you been saying goodbye to your mom and dad?".
Sean nodded. " The taste is already wholesale yesterday, after all not every day Sean calls the same father and mother, so the saying once is enough".
Maemunah just remembered that Sean's parents are still in Switzerland. " Then sit quietly, if you want to eat, eat something, just choose which one, while Alma takes a nap, she just slept because her friends just came home".
Sean nodded his head. " It's a pity that I'm here late, so don't meet Alma's friends, must be cool guy friends, it's quite a wash of eyes", inner Sean.
Akio who could tell what Sean was thinking just shook his head while picking up an apple, washing it in the sink and eating it.
