Before getting up from her seat, and want to release her hand. Bagas's hand gripped it tightly, as if he didn't want to let it go.
Nikita rubbed the back of Bagas' hand with the other. Slowly rubbing Nikita slowly let go of Bagas' grip.
After making a bowl of hot porridge, Nikita immediately took him to Bagas's room.
Nikita already called a doctor whose number she got from one of the hotel employees in the lobby.
The doctor came early and then checked on Bagas. The doctor was forced to give an injection to Bagas, because his fever was considered very high.
Apart from giving the injection, the doctor also gave Nikita a prescription that she had to buy at the nearest pharmacy.
Nikita thanked him and gave something in a white envelope when the doctor asked permission to say goodbye because his job had been completed.
Nikita returned to sit beside Bagas' bed. She touched Bagas's forehead.
"It's still hot, why hasn't the heat gone down yet?" Nikita said to herself.
She had chosen to be beside Bagas until Bagas regained consciousness and the heat dropped.
Nikita stared Bagas's face was stuck with sadness. There was pain on that pale face.
Nikita became afraid and worried again, when Bagas started to react again, muttering and delirious incoherently.
Nikita held Bagas's fingers tightly again, and rubbed Bagas' sweaty forehead.
Bagas rambled over and over again by saying something.
"Don't go ... don't go... Ayaaa!! do not leave me alone!! Ayaaa!!" said Bagas, holding Nikita's hand tightly and continuing to babble.
"Bagas ... wake up Gas." Nikita shook Bagas's shoulders many times. Because Bagas was starting to gasp for breath again, Nikita pulled back Bagas's body and hug him, so that Bagas felt calm when she rubbed his back.
And that really helped, because when Nikita hugged him tightly, Bagas seemed to start to calm down with his regular breathing again.
There were tears on the corners of Bagas' eyes, which were still closed. Even though he was not anxious, Bagas, still muttered softly and clearly could still be heard by Nikita. "Don't go Aya? who is Aya?" Nikita asked herself. In her question mark, Nikita continued to calm Bagas by hugging and rubbing Bagas' shoulders. Maybe because of the influence of the drug that the doctor injected, Bagas fell asleep in Nikita's arms.
Feeling a rather heavy burden, Nikita lay Bagas' head on the bed as before.
She rubbed Bagas's face and sweaty neck of Bagas. His body was getting cold. The new Nikita could breathe a sigh of relief. She waited for Bagas, who was still fast asleep.
Nikita was still thinking of a name that Bagas always called when he was sick.
"Aya?? why is that name familiar to my ears and in my past life? "
But Nikita quickly decided that was impossible.
"Aisshh !!! I forgot the porridge, it must be cold." said Nikita talking to herself.
Hurriedly he took the porridge and took it to the kitchen to be heated again. Bagas had to fill his stomach immediately because from noon he had not eaten at all.
Nikita carefully placed the bowl of porridge on the table beside Bagas's bed.
She rubbed forehead Bagas slowly, was cold. Nikita woke Bagas slowly.
"Gas, wake up ... you have to eat." called Nikita in a low voice.
Sensing someone calling him and a soft rub on his forehead, Bagas opened his eyes slowly.
Bagas was not yet fully conscious, he looked around the room. why is he in his room. Didn't he have a meeting with several of his work partners.
Bagas saw Nikita who was beside him. Nikita's face looked tired and Nikita's eyes were swollen.
Bagas tried to move his body to sit up, Nikita immediately helped him. Nikita smiled relievedly, seeing that Bagas had regained consciousness.
"You already up, Gas? You passed out earlier and Johan take you here. You are unconscious and fever, was forced I had to call the doctor here as your fever is getting high." Nikita explained to Bagas who still looked confused by his situation.
"Really, Nikita?" asked Bagas, still in disbelief.
Nikita nodded slowly. But Nikita quickly brushed off Bagas' confusion.
"Never mind ... now you have to eat this porridge? from noon your stomach is not filled." said Nikita, holding the bowl of porridge.
Bagas did not refuse when Nikita started feeding him, because Bagas did feel hungry.
It didn't feel like a bowl of porridge had gone into Bagas's stomach. She put the bowl back on the table, and took a glass of water, and slowly sipped it in Bagas's mouth.
"Now you are resting again Gas.. hopefully tomorrow you will be healthy and we have to go back to Bandung." said Nikita, putting down the empty glass.
With full attention, Nikita helped Bagas lay down again, she fixed the blanket that was out of place because of Bagas's messing up movement.
"Thank you Nikita." said Bagas hoarsely. Bagas' gaze deeply penetrated Nikita's heart.
"What else is this?" Nikita asked herself. Nikita stood up and rubbed Bagas' forehead lightly.
"As a brother, no words of gratitude Gas. your Mom, my Mom too." said Nikita with a smile.
"Now you better sleep, I'll go back to my room. I'm sleepy too." said Nikita with sleepy eyes.
The eyes of Bagas and Nikita stared at each other, talking to each other, but there was nothing else to say.
"Good evening Gas, tomorrow morning I'll be here." Nikita walked out of the room, walking to the door.
"Sleep tight Nikita." said Bagas in a low voice.
Nikita nodded her head and then left the room.
Bagas was pensive in his place staring at Nikita's departure with mixed feelings.
In his heart there was something stirred up. felt there was a very soothing taste.
A taste he had once felt in his childhood. Where he really feels calm when playing with a little girl named AYA.
***
Nikita rushed into her house, she just found out when Raka visited her.
Actually, on Sunday morning, Nikita and Bagas arrived home. since Nikita had to confirm Bagas's condition from breakfast to taking his medicine, Nikita arrived at her house almost noon.
Nikita did not take her cellphone out of her bag at all, because her cellphone was running low and she forgot to charge it.
Because Bagas was sick, her energy was drained, so she slept soundly when she got to the room.
