Stay overnight

"What should I do, Ga? I don't want to leave Mama here alone."

The sun seemed reluctant to linger in the sky, and the moon does not want to show its light. Everything seems to support Alexa's sadness. The dark and cloudy sky seemed ready to rain at any time.

"But you can't stay here all the time. You'll catch a cold," Angga said worriedly.

They are now in the hospital garden. After that, Angga forced her to fill her stomach in the hospital canteen. They sat in the garden near the hospital.

Alexa was silent. The night wind began to blow, brushing the pores of the skin on her hands. Since noon Alexa has not changed her clothes. She was only wearing a short t-shirt and jeans. This afternoon, because she was so panicked, Alexa didn't have time to bring a change of clothes and a blanket for herself. They never expected that her mother had to enter the isolation room.

Alexa shuddered a little. Undeniably, her body felt the chill of the garden breeze.

Take a glance. "You're cold. Let's get out of here."

Alexa was silent. Her brain is still actively thinking. She didn't want to go home, but she couldn't stay at the hospital either.

"Ah, it's like this. You just stay at my boarding house. Do you ... do you want it?"

Alexa turned. Her eyesight immediately collided with Angga's brown eyesight. Those who looked at him felt awkward, awkward.

"Eh, um... I'm not forcing you if you don't want to. That's just my suggestion. Or you want to sleep with your brother... ah yeah, sorry."

Angga immediately closed his mouth. He accidentally slipped the word "brother", for a moment he forgot that Alexa had no siblings from her mother or late father in this city.

"I... don't want to bother you."

"It's okay. Don't worry. You never bother me."

Alexa was silent again. She weighed the pros and cons of accepting an offer from Angga.

"I want to," Alexa whispered.

Angga's eyesight almost sticking out. A feeling of happiness welled up in his chest. He can spend a lot of time with his love, a feeling that could jeopardize his sanity.

***

Angga parked his father's car in the basement of the boarding house. If there are questions that stick out about Angga's boarding house, of course it's natural. How can a boarding house have a basement? Because the boarding house that Angga meant was not a boarding house for college students with a size of 3x3, which could only be filled with a single bed and a small wooden wardrobe.

'Kosan' Angga is the embodiment of a large house with several rooms. Not only that. In each room there is a bathroom with adequate facilities.

"Please come in. You just sit down first, I want to lock the car first," said Angga after opening the door of his house.

Alexa obeyed and entered the house. She immediately landed on one of the soft sofas in the living room. She also looked around the room.

Alexa has known Angga for a long time, but this is the first time she has entered Angga's boarding house. Usually, she only stands outside the boarding house when she is looking for Angga. There is one question that Alexa has not dared to ask Angga from the first. How can he say a house is a boarding house?

"What do you want to drink? Tea or coffee?"

Alexa turned. Angga was right beside her sitting.

"Don't bother. Oh, yes. Why is your boarding house so quiet. Where are your other friends?" Alexa asked curiously.

"Oh, that. It's the weekend, so some of my friends are returning home," said Angga.

Alexa nodded in understanding. She knew that if she stopped in front of Angga's boarding house, she could always hear the noise of Angga's friends.

"You wait here a moment, okay. I want to clean the room for you first," he said.

Once again Alexa nodded. After Angga's departure, Alexa didn't just sit quietly on the sofa. Curiosity pushed her to move and approach some of the ornaments hanging on the wall. Her eyes were drawn to a figure frame attached to the end of a long table. She then approached and red the photo.

'Angga's photo, but who is this woman?' Alexa thought.

In the photo, Angga wearing a blue uniform is sitting with a little girl in a red uniform.

"That's a picture of my sister. She's dead."

A voice came from behind Alexa. Alexa turned.

"Sorry, I was presumptuous to see this photo," she said then put the photo frame back.

"It's okay. Only the photo remains. Memories with my sister. She died seven years ago. When the photo was taken, I had just finished my junior high school national exam. Maybe that's one of the reasons I went to the same medical school as you. "

Alexa listens to Angga's story.

"Ah, yes. I've cleaned up the room for you to stay the night. But, I only have this for you to use. Is that all right?"

Angga handed Alexa a baggy t-shirt. Predictably, the shirt must have belonged to him. Angga could not give any other choice because of course only Adam's people lived in his boarding house.

"It's okay, thank you very much."

Angga smiled his sincere smile. He led Alexa to the front of the room he had prepared.

"You just rest. If you need anything, tell me."

Angga turned and was about to leave the front door of Alexa's room. Suddenly his clothes were pulled by Alexa.

"I'm not sleepy yet. I'm... scared..."

Turn around. He then gently stroked Alexa's hair.

"You don't have to be afraid. Trust me, your mother will be fine. They are experts in their fields who can treat your mother."

As if he understood the fear that Alexa meant, Angga tried to calm Alexa's heart.

"But ... "

"Well... if you don't want to sleep yet. You can come with me to the living room. We can watch a movie first."

Alexa nodded slowly. Getting a nod in response, Angga then took Alexa's hand.

Alexa doesn't stop being amazed by the view of Angga's house. Even the middle room that Angga meant did not match his image. Angga's living room contains a long, soft sofa with a rectangular wooden table in front of it. What was even more astonishing was the electronics that were displayed on a long table in front of her.

A flat screen television with a size that Alexa doesn't know what type it is. All she thought was, her body might just get into that box thing.

Although Alexa's family is not from the lower middle class family. But the sight in front of her, made her chuckle in awe and wonder. Maybe if there was a translator balloon above Alexa's head, there must have been a big question written "How can an Angga rent such a luxurious boarding house. Then how can a luxurious house be said to be a boarding house".

Angga turned on the television and inserted several compact discs into the DVD player.

"You wait here first. I'll get a snack in the kitchen."

Alexa just nodded briefly, her eyes still glued to the scene in front of her.

Not long after, Angga brought some snacks and canned drinks.

"I only have this," said Angga as he put the snacks on the table.

"Are you... lying to me?"

Angga turned. "Why?" asked Angga confused.
